SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Out of 46S permanent lecturers AT
the Berlin university, ITO belong to the
medical faculty.
Three Tufts college students were
expelled recently for cutting chapel

A census of churches of the old
city of London by the Daily News, TAX
en- on the first Sunday in May, showed
that the combined attendance at the
City temple, Congregational, was
zoos, while that at ST. Paurs cathe-
dral was 1887. The combined attend
ance ON the Nonconformist churches
was more than double that at the es-
tablished churches.

Whistler, the painter, by the Univer-
sity of Glasgow, is the second honor
which this distinguished and resolute
artist has received from Scotland, as
the Royal Scottish academy elected
him an honorary member few
months ago. These are his only official
British honors, although he has lived
in London at least half of his life.
For centuries cock-fghting was en-
couraged in English schools; Fitz-
stephen in the twelfth century men
tions it as an amusement of London
ers and that yearly at Shrovetide the
boys of every school brought cocks to
their schoolmasters and all the fore
noon was spent in school witnessing
these birds fight. AS late as 1870 the
income of the schoolmaster of Apple
cross in Ros-shire was drawn partial
ly from cock-fght dues. Down to 1915,
at least, there was an annual exhibit
tion Of cock-fghting at the Manches-
ter grammar school.

A Real Clam Bake.

1t is worth while to have seaweed,
if you have to drive 20 miles for it,
but, if unobtainable, you can make
shift with well-moistened hay, grass
or such material to make steaming
bed for the viands to cook on. First
a layer of seaweed, several inches
deep, then your potatoes, sweet po-
tatoes, CLAIMS and green corn in or
der, using judgment, SO as not to
have your material burned by too
much Goals or heat, ad yet be sure of
enough heat to finish the cooking.
Potatoes, if large, will need to cook
longer than the CLAIMS or corn. The
latter should be husked, with the ex-
ception of one layer of husk over the
kernels. Now cover all with seaweed,
and let the mass steam for from 20
to 40 minutes. Frequent inspections.
with attending burns and sooty fin
gers, are part Of the fun.-Country

Good for Farmers.

Digging up city is a good thing
for the farmers. You can have no
idea of the number of wagons. and
horses that have been employed in
New York recently in carting away,
earth taken out of the subway and
excavations for skyscrapers. Most OF
them belong to farmers in New Jer-
sey, Long Island, Connecticut and the
nearby counties in New York state.
Instead of being practically idle
much of the fall, winter and early
spring, they have earned big wages
for their owners. Furthermore, the
demand for good horses among the,
contractors has doomed prices tre-s
mendously.-N. Y. Press.

But the bolt clicked, the door opened

But the bolt clicked, the door opened
and my execut;oners had returned.
With stealthy, catlike movements they
approached me; L was helped to my
feet and placed upright in an angle
of the room. Pietro glided back, leav-
ing the old signor standing before me;
his hard, rigid face set; in his eyes
the cold, sinister CLEAN of pent-up hate
and ferocity.
Facing me, and assuming the dignity
of Roman judge, he proceeded in a
solemn, vibrating voice: "No man can
leeve who deeshonor re name PAUL..

Leaning forward with convulsive tre-
NOR, I thought he was about to plunge
the blade into my heart. How I
strained for speech-but the gag, was
dumb All, why did he not strike!
I was dying a thousand deaths
For an instant there was the stG-
ness of the tomb; then the rumbling
d
without. Suddenly this stopped, voice
called "Whoa!" Then the pattering
of fast moving feet in the passageway;
somebody violently grasped the knob
of the door to the room-it would not
open.
The signor and Pietro stood breath-
less, transfixed.
A key scraped in the lock, Nne door
flung back; on the threshold stood
Francesca.
"Matre di Dio!" hoarsely breathed
the old man.
Francesca, scantily attired. hair dis
heveled her eyes ablaze with a fever
ish glow, her cheeks whittier than ala
baster.
NV heart gave a great throb of joy.
A moments hesitation, and she
grasped the meaning of the scene be-
fore her in one overwhelming inn
pulse. With heartrending cry of an
guish she leaped forward, seized the
signor's hand, and fell on her knees
before him.
"Father! father! For the love Of
Jesus spare him! Kill memo. wait!
See what I have got: Wait, father;
that's good father!" She fumbled
in her bosom and drew forth paper.
"There, father, see; he's my love, my
life!"
"Back, child; zee ees my deeshonor.
I kill him!" he replied, as he spurned
her from him
Frantic with alarm, she rushed up
to Pietro. "Pietro, my brother, you
love me-see. read! l am his wife"
Pietro took the paper reluctantly,
glanced at it skeptically, suddenly gave
a start and read eagerly:
"Father! father!" he almost
screamed. "Come-look! it is mar
riage certifcate!"
With a hurried stride the old man
was at his side. They examined the
document with almost frenzied cum
ming. In low, quick tones they dis
cussed its import. Pietro, we'll versed
in English, seemed satisfied, and was
explaining to the father.
Meanwhile Francesca had not been
idle; the old man in the furry had
dropped his stiletto. She secured it,
and in twinkling my bonds were cut
and she was smothering my face with
the sweetest kisses mortal man ever
welcomed.
Well. I guess you can figure out the
rest. They were satisfied the mar
riage certificate was all right, and it
was. You remember I told you Fran
cesca and / had returned from a little
expedition of our own that afternoon.
