Advocates of shortening the college
course to three years, or even to two
years, have sometimes urged the
change on the ground that the average
age of students at graduation is great
er than 1t was fifty years ago. A pro-
fessor in Columbia University thought
that, aside from its relation to the dis
cussion about the college course, 1t
would be interesting to find out wheth-
er this was true or not. Accordingly
he examined the records of eleven
prominent universities and colleges in
the East and middle West, and dis
covered that the average age Of the
graduates in the decade between 1850
and 1860 was twenty-three years and
one and three-tenths months. In the
decade from 1890 to 1900 the average
was twenty-three years and one and
nine-tenths months. When one COM
pares the list Of subjects which the
students studied fifty years ago with
that which they study to-day one Is
inclined to respect the capacity Of the
modern young man. There has been
no deterioration of intellect, else the
average age at graduation would be
much higher.

In the death of "Citizen" George
Francis Train there passes from
among men figure most eccentric and
pathetic. AS an erratic genius, full of
apparent cntradictions and brilliant
achievement he stood unique among
the psychological wonders Of his time.
So eccentric was he, and yet so poten-
tial In performance and so complete
and brilliant in his mastery Of great
undertakings, that he excited the in
terest and wonderment of all who

ty. With our vague and confused no
tons regarding the human intellect
and the line of demarkation between
sanity and insanity, not many men
Will care to take the responsibility Of
passing upon the mental soundness Of
George Francis Train. 1t is recalled
that very few men Of learning and
sense did not believe him insane even
during the later years of his life, when
he withdrew himself from contact with
men and sought the companionship
and acquaintance of children and
birds. A builder of ships, organizer of
the Union Pacific Railway, founder of

Juggling for millions, as it Is per-

reception which is following the ex-
posures. Turning water into money is
safer than selling gold bricks, because
the trust manipulators purchase the
ablest legal talent. Morally, between
such performances and easy-mark
thieying schemes there is no difference,
says Golfers Weekly. When the elev-
enth commandment, or ''Thou shalt not
be found out" is broken by these vora-
cious plutocrats, We stand aghast at
the unconcern with which they bleed
the public. Lying for money seems to
be consistent with high position in So
ciety and business. Men most con-
spicuously desired in society have fat

Some Of them have been honored with
public office. Nothing could be more
respectable than they. They are our
nobility, as able to ride over the scru-
pies of classes below them as the no

lating wealth by disregarding honesty

RATS MADE BEDS OF MONEY.
When the Nest Was Found the Miss.
ing Bills Were All Intact.

A short time ago Mrs. Mike Huller,
who keeps grocery on the corner of
Eighth and Elm streets, hid away
where she could easily find it, $76 in
bills for use at time when necessity
or desire required it. She thought Of
thieves, but not of the rodent de-
scription, and was, therefore, quite
particular in selecting a hiding place.
A few days later she thought she
would take a look at her hidden treas
ure, with the view of assuring herself
that the money was where she had
hidden it, but on going to the place
her surprise can easily be imagined
when, on placing her hand where the
money ought to have been, she dis
covered that it was gone.
Matters remained in that condition
up to few days ago, when, hearing
a rat travelling around the house, the
idea struck her that rats were the real
purloiners Of her money. Going to
work with vim she was not long in
ripping up two or three planks from
the floor Of one Of the rooms of the
house and, instituting a close search,
was greatly elated to find that rodents
had actually stolen the money, packed
1t away and made cosey bed of it,
for there it was before her eyes, Ev-
cry bill was found intact, not dollar
missing. Qky.) Cleaner.

of orange leaves. More than $50 years
ago the Jesuit priests, who then ruled
that secluded country, imported orange
seeds and planted groves which have
now become immense forests, filled
with small establishments for extract
ing the essence, which is exported to
France and the United States for use

DENTISTRY AN ANCIENT ART
Greeks and Romans of O1den Tim.
Understood the Craft.

Greek6 ana hOmauS OI olucn Iims
Understood the Craft.
Although the profession Of dentistry
is commonly supposed to be one of thu
modern arts there are evidences show.
ing that it was practiced many centu.
ries ago in widely separated parts OF
the world. These discoveries establish
the fact that the art is probably AZ
old as many Of the learned professions
now known. The making of false teeth
and the filling of dental cavities is so
ancient trade that 1t reaches far back
beyond the bounds Of history, although
it has generally been considered as a
science Of modern origin.
The Greeks and the Romans had
false teeth, as ancient illusions in the
records tell. Perhaps the. laughing
pearls between the lips of Cleopatra
were, after all, 'store teeth" and Mark
Anthony did not know it.
The ancients could fill teeth with
gold, and far beyond the time Of
Greece and Rome the science of dent
istry is recorded. Recent discoveries
show that it extended even into time of
the early Egyptian dynasties. Not
long ago mummies were discovered on
the banks of the Nile. For 5000 years
or so they had been grinning with
false teeth in their sarcophagi. Teeth
filled with gold, much as dentist
would fill the aching void in a tooth
today, have been discovered in some
of these mummies.
Excavations among the ruins of the
prehistoric cities OF Central America
have brought to light the fact that the
profession of the dentist was one much
esteemed and profitably followed in the
days Of that mysterious civilization
which once existed there.
The dentists of those prehistoric
American days filed their patients
teeth not with gold but with little
discs of bright green jadeite. The
skulls Of nearly all the people who
were buried in costly tombs and who
were evidently people Of fashion have
been found to have teeth in them
filed down to point and set with
these little green discs.
1t is thought that the filling was not
put in to stop prehistoric toothache
but as matter Of ornament. Proba.
bly, the custom originated at first from
the same causes which now induce us
to have our teeth filled with gold, but
it soon became to be thought ornament.
al and so became fashion and badge
Of rank.
The common people, living on coarser
food, were supposed to have sound
teeth, but the pampered mobiles, living
on rich and delicate food, had teeth
which decayed and so were supposed
to require the attention of the dentist
So, though dentistry has no known
founder, like medicine, it is an ancient
and honorable profession which can
dispute with its kindred science for
the palm Of antiquity.

be dried there and the dangers Of
freezing avoided. Such a room is also
very useful for ironing in hot weather.
1t should be provided with a laundry
stove and the fire kept up until the
clothes are dried.
Flannels and woolen stockinette
ought to be dried on wooden frames,
which any carpenter will make, apd
which will prevent shrinking. This Is
because the ultimate fiber Of wool Is
spiral, and the drawing up and inter
locking of the fibers being what con-
stitutes shrinkage. In underwear rae
tories the garments are always washed
and dried on frames so that they may
be offered soft and unshrunken FOR
sale.
It is much better and easier to SCRUB
soiled flnannels with small prusn
than it is to rub them clean on Doard.
A rather stiff brush about four or hVe
inches long is the best article for this
purpose. Scrub the bands and seams
of heavy woolen shirts, as well as
those of cotton, in this way. This
small brush is excellent in washing
corsets or any heavy pieces that are
difficult to rub on board. If the brush
has a small handle the garments MAY
be more easily cleaned with it.
Many excellent housekeepers disa-
gree as to the best method Of wash
ing white clothes. Some Of them pre-
fer to soak their clothes overnight in
cold water Others who are equally
good managers, after examining each
piece to see if there are any stains or
snots that need special attention,
plunge them into boiling hot soap
suds and let them stand for several
hours or overnight. This latter method
seems to draw the dirt quite thor
oughly, as the water itself will attest
next morning. The clothes are then
lifted out of this water into clean warm
water, the few soiled places that re-
main are rubbed out and the clothes
are put in the boiler to come to the
boiling point. If the water is hard
tablespoonful of washing soda, but
no more, should be added to every gal
Ion of water in the boiler, the soda
being first dissolved in a little boil
ing water. If it is put in without melt
ing it may eat hole in the clothes.
If the water is soft little melted soap
should be used instead Of soda, and
soap should be rubbed over each piece
as 1t is put in the boiler. Very few
Of the best laundresses boil their
clothes longer than three minutes, just
long enough to allow them to be thor
oughly scalded. Longer boiling only
tends to make white clothes yellow.
When the clothes are taken from the
boiler the water they were boiled in
should be poured over them and they
should be allowed to stand in it sew
eral hours or overnight. No woman
who does this will ever be troubled
with yellow clothes. There is no bet
ter way to bleach them in winter.
About once month is often enough
to blue clothes in winter, and the old
fashioned indigo bag, which costs only
few cents, is the best thing to use
at any time.

LAUNDERING IN WINTER TIME

Many housekeepers find difficulty in

being frozen and thawed, there is sell
dom warmth enough in the depth of

they are handled in the frozen state
they are apt to crack. For this rea-
