A Dispute and Known Fact.
 There are both interest and impor- tance in the issue which has been raised between Drs. Connolly and Park, the baeteriologists of the New ark and the New York boards of health respectively, as to the origin of tetanus which so often follows the in iurries inflicted by toy pistols. Dr. Connolly says that he has found the bacillus of lockjaw in blank cartridges now on sale; Dr. Park, that exhaustive investigations made by him two years ago revealed nothing of the sort, and that he remains unconvinced that the infection comes, not from the cartridge but from the fragments of skin, more ior less covered with street dirt, which are invariably driven into these wounds, The question is evidently one of ascertainable fact, to be settled by experiment. not by argument, and so far as the public Is concerned, there is no particular necessity to balance probabilities or authorities, since it is all one whence the infection comes as concerns it's effects. and whether the source is the cartridge of the soiled in tegument, perfect safety lies only in abandoning the use of the dangerous toys. As for the treatment of the mal- ady, when once acquired, there is no dispute among the doctors. They all advise the immediate and thorough op- ening of the wound, since the tetanus bacillus is anaerobic," that is, it can- not develop the presence of free atmos-

MODERN CLIFF DwELLERs OF


 We have often heard of the cliff dwellers and are accustomed to think of them as prehistoric race, the re- mains of whose few scattered dwell lings are matter of curiosity to tour ists and prize to antiquarians. Few people know that at the present day there whole communities in France in the rocky hillsides and whose en- tire business life is carried on in caves. We are riding on the road to Vouvray when suddenly, at turn near Roche- corbon, this first town of cliff dwellers burst upon us. High above us lowered a huge mass of oyerhanging rock, summit most peculiar tower, sup posed to have been watch tower in ages gone by. Its foundations hung over the rock upon which they were built, and it seemed as thoug it would crash down at any moment upon the village beneath. Scattered over the face of the cliff. doors and windows. narrow stairways and little belvideres could be seen, habftation upon habita- tion, in mos picturesque disorder.- Scribners Magazine.

said: ssso far as class records are con- cerned the exlterience of seven years at oberlin searnt to show that the aver age grade of wsonen in scholarship is probably a lfttl1 higher than the aver age grade Of men. But the men on a little lower average of class work often show quite as good results in examina- tions as women who have a higher grade of marking for daily work. And it is not believed here that marks are a complete test of the scholarship of a student"
 ''Women excel naturally along some lines and men along some others, said President W. B. Stone, of Purdue uni versity. and it is unfair to cross these lines to make comparisons. Generally speaking women are quick and ready in work requiring the exercise of mem ory; they repeat and copy with facility and they are keen of perception and in- tuition. But when called on to use their powers of observation and deduc- ton they are not the equals of men. :
 We have no direct means of compar ing the scholarship of men and women at Michigan" ]" said President J. B. An gelI. of the University of Michigan. for we have no marking system. As the men outnumber the women by four to one generally and the proportion of wo- men varies in different departments, even impressions are of little use However, I will say that women at Michigan make fine records and we are proud of them"
 President W. H. P. Faunce. of Brown university, thinks there is no apprecia- ble difference between men and women students as to scholarship. Tn Brown and it's adjunct, Pembroke Hall" he said. the men and women are equally proficient. It is natural for certain number of each sex to excel.

holes at the least disturbance when working at night However, the water was escaping from their inclosure in considerable volume, and the necessity of checking the flow possibly accounted for the animals apparent fearlessness.
 The phrase 'as busy as beaver would be well appreciated while watch ing this particular animal at work. It seemed to be deVoting itself entirely to mud and grass construction. Its opera tions started by sewimming to small island about twenty feet from the dam, from about the edges and fbrous roots which it collected between its forelegs and lower jaws. With bundle of this material it would turn, without an un- necessary motion. and swim toward the dam, its head just showing above the water, until within about ten feet of it's destination, when it made sudden dive toward the bottom, and it's course could then be followed by the air bub- bles. Suddenly, immediately in front of the break, would loom up out of the water a miniature mountain of mud, followed by the head and foreduarters of the beaver, with an eacy, sliding mo- tion. The mud seemed to be resting on the foundation of grasses originally gathered, and the animal carried the entire mass on it's fore paws, evidently having used those members as coop in gathering the mud from the bottom.
 For an, hour the beaver toiled unceas- ingly The break had been about two feet wide. originally, and more than a foot in depth. but when he ceased his labors and disappeared into hole on the opposite side of the inclosure, no sign of the break was evident and the dam was again water-tight.-New York Times.

COMPETE ON EVEN TERMS.

Tt used to be thought, said Presi- dent Charles A Blanchard, of Wheaton
 college, when asked about the compar- ative excellence of menand women stu dents, that painting, music and fine. lneedIework were the only proper stud-' ies for women: but in recent years we
 have come to recognize that women are
 able to prosecute the most advanced and difficult work of a university course
 and compete on even terms with men.
 In language and general literary work
 women exhibit more accuracy and fin
 ish and give more attention to details.
 They study !arder and memorize bet
 ter. believe that women will average
 somewhat higher than men. They win
 five or ten per cent. higher grades"
 "For, six years,'' said President E. D.
 Eaton, of Beloit college, i've have been
 graduating young women together with
 young men. Our young women are on the average the most painstaking stu
 dents and they affect .advantageously
 the scholarly finish of the classroom
 work. The poorest scholars, those who get hardly enough credits to pass, are almost without exception men. Yet of the ten or twelve highest in each class ia majority have usually been men, and

TIPPING HOSTS SERVANTS.

The question Of tips to servants when visiting is one that often perplexes the average young woman, particularly if she be somewhat untravelled Some hostesses expressly request that guests shall not fee the servants, or indeed, spend any money whatever in their houses. One very rich woman goes to the length of inclosing nd-trip tick cts to her country home in her letters of invitation, and on Sundays sends an envelope to each guests room contain-! ing coin for the contribution box N which seems an exaggeration Of hospi- tality which comes close to ostentation.
 As a rule however, servants expect a farewell present, and among rich per- sons who constantly exchange visits in big establishments these are given with lavishness that has created a difficult scale for less fortunate folk to live up to say, says Harper's Bazaar, A young girl of moderate means, finding herself a guests at pretentious home need not hesitate, however, to give her small fee to the butler and to the maid who has been specially helpful to her. Servants are sure to discover very quickly the approximate finances of those whom. they serve, and usually understand and accept gratefully the small bestowal when the donor cannot afford a large one. In simpler homes the giving is easier and should not be omitted.
 Where only one or two maids are kept the presence of guests means, usually, additional work. and little gratuity for this extra service is only fair. It. may, too, often make things easier for the hostess, reacting in cheerful at n1osphere below stairs that is most de-. sirable and sure to be felt throughout the house. With the gift should go a gracious word of thanks for service re- ceived, and it will be the surly maid indeed who will not beam with pleasure at the double bestowal. Human nature is pretty much the same through all ranks of life, and desire for apprecia- tion is one of it's almost universal traits

against c. M. Brown. The defendant

Y Attorneys Goddard and Johnston
have returned from a visit to the
state capital where they spent come
days in an effort to induce the legis-

eastern part OF the state for judicial
purposes. They were successful in
having the bill pass the senate, only
to see it meet with defeat in the
house. The members of the bar of
Park. Sweetgrass and Carbon coun-
ties had a strong lobby at Helena in
opposition to the measure, who pro-
tested against the creation of a dis
trict of the two latter counties and
the county of Yellowstone. This
would have deprived S~weetgrass and
Carbon counties of their present
judge when the proposed bill became
effective in two years from now and
it vas on that point that the lobby
from the Sixth district succeeded in
having the bill killed in the house.

lie is back at work now with several

SO that it can't be soaked again."
1t probably is not true, put the
friends of a certain popular physician
of the city tell the story and solemnly
aver that it is the absolute truth. The
little son of the doctor was enter
tanning a companion of about his own
age and like the energetic, inquisi-
tive youngsters that they are they
romped and played all over the house.
Finally they entered the doctors pri-
vate room and as a mark Of special
distinction the youthful host opened
the closet and displayed to his aston
ished and frightened little friend a
grinning skeleton hanging from a peg
in the wall. AS soon as he could re-
gain his power of speech the visitor
m awe-stricken voice asked, who
\do you suppose that was?" Il don't
Know" was the reply, "but I think
it must have been fathers first
patient, for he has had it a long
time"
Evidence of the force and truth of
the old aphorism relative to the indis-
criminate manner in which the clouds
permit their contents to descend upon
the just as we'll as unjust is contain
ed in the numerous reports of horse
stealing that come from the tier of
counties to the north. The continued
demand for horses and at prices much
higher than before the ranges were
tolerably we'll depleted by the buyers
for the British government has caused
others than the men who raise and
come into possession of animals hon
estly to turn their hand at earning a
little of the money that is to be had
SO easily for eligible horses of almost
all kinds, and the ''rustlers" are un-
usually active. While not averse to
stealing from the white settlers and
ranchers, the thieves seem to pay
more attention to the horses of the
Indians on the different reservations
and numerous complaints are made
to the federal authorities of depreda-
lions on the herds of the govern
ment's wards. Those on the Black
feet reserve appear to have suffered
the most in consequence of the grow
ing value and demand for ~horsefesh.
What is believed to be an organized
gang has been operating in that part
of the state for months, with it's opera
lions extending across both sides of
the international line. The Canadian
mounted police have reported numer-
Gus thefts of horses on that side and
claim that many of the stolen ami
mails are driven across into Montana.
Aided by their knowledge of the use
Of branding irons the "rustlers" are
enabled to change or deliberate the
original brands so that Identification
in many instances is impossible. 1t
is believed that the thieves have their
hea lquartcrs somewhere east of the
Blackfeet reservation, where the stol-
animals are gathered and when a
number has been obtained
they are driven into Dakota and
thence shipped east. Officers Of the
government have been at work on the
case and it is claimed that some very
conclusive evidence has been secured
against a number of suspects.
