OF the board of trustees of the Iowa
State College at Ames. Prof. A. Mar
ston was elected dean of the engineer

FIFTY BUILDINGS WRECKED
One Man Fatally Hurt and Several Others
Injured by a Storm of Wind
and Hail.

Higginsville, Mo-, March 2G.-Fifty
buildings are partly wrecked, one man
is mOrtally wounded and several 9th
ers hurt; the town is in darkness and
the streets strewn with debris. as the
result of a tornado and hail storm
which struck this place. The hail ON
the streets was foot deep within five
minutes after the storm came, and
some of the stones were as large as
hen eggs. Dozens of trees in the town
were blown down and several horses
were killed on the street.
The most careful estimate of the
financial loss here is $4,000 Two other
towns in this section were in the path
of this storm and are said to be con-
siderably damaged. They are Corder

The KiCkanOOS.

The Kickapoo Indians have very
peculiar marriage custom. They SIM
piy select their wives, and if the selec-
ton is mutual they reside together as
man and wife, and nothing is SAID.
There are no scandals among these
people. Husbands and wives are true
to each other, and the quiet under
standing is considered as sacred as our
marriage vows. There are few acts
that can be termed criminal among
this small band of Indians. Murder is
seldom heard of, and death is the pen
atty for the crime. Robbery from each
other is unknown. All their posses
sions could be piled together in the
street, and no one of them would think
of taking the property. Their religion
is the same as Columbus found among
the Indians when he first landed in
America. They believe that there are
two spirits-the great, good spirit and
the bad spirit. After death the wicked
are supposed to fall victims to the bad
spirit The religious worship is car
ried on every day. 1t consists Of dances
and singing and beating of tomtoms.
They are very delicate regarding their
belief and seldom take a stranger into
their conndence.-KansasC City Journal.

An Intelligent n:

A species of woodpecker nhabits the
driest parts of Mexico, Where during
the droughts it must die of starvation
unless it made a store. To prevent this
it selects the hollow stem of species OF
aloe, the bore of which is just large
enough to hold nut. The woodpecker
drills holes at intervals in the stem and
fills it from bottom to top with the
nuts, the separate holes being apparent
~ made for convenience of access to
the column of nuts within.
The intelligence which not only con-
structs special storehouse, but teaches
the woodpecker to lay by only the nuts,
which will keep, and not the insects,
which would decay, is perhaps the
highest form Of bird reasoning which
has yet been observed

LeckyHB 4oFF%Ht oI SpOOCAs
& very brilliant Irish lady some years
ago arranged that Mr.. Lecky should
meet an able and famous Irishman Of
very advanced opinions in politics. 1t
was intended that they should ex-
change views, and the Irishman had a
good deal to say about Mr.. Lecky's
later work and was we'll able to put
what he had to say in the most eff
fective language. The door opened and
Mr.. Lecky was announced. He was in
troduced to the lrislman, and before
the latter had time to say anything the
historian began a political harangue
which he kept going without cessation
the whole time he was there. The
Irishman at first tried to break in with
q word, but be was swept away, as it
were, in the unceasing flow Of Mr..
Lecky's language; SO after u time he
sat in amused bewilderment, waiting
until nature gave out. But when Mr..
Ilecky felt he was getting exhausted he
rose from his chair. shook hands with
the hostess and her guest, keeping on
talking all the time. They came out
with him to the top of the staircase,
but could not get a word edgeways
even then, as he talked all the way
down to the Goor and was even in an
unfinished sentence when the door was
shut behind him. They looked at each
other and roared.-Freeman's Journal

SefdL's Silent Tongue.

One of the most striking anecdotes
told in Hermann Klein's Thirty Years
of Musical Life In London relates to
Anton Seidls first interview with Wag-
ner in the library at Wahnfried. Seidl
found the room dark, and, imagining
nobody was there, he pulled out his let
ter of introduction and began silently
rehearsing the speech he had prepared.
Suddenly from out of the gloomy cor
ner Wagner appeared, and Seidl was
SO nervous that he could not bring out
a sentence of Eic speech. This proved
to be his salvation, for Wagner, declar-
ing, eff you can work as we'll as you
can hold your tongue, you will do

The second Samson"

Richard Joy, who died May IS, 1742,
at the age of sixtyseven and is buried
in the St. Peters churchyard, isle of
Thanet, Kent, England, was known
throughout Europe as the "Kentish
Hercules" or the Second Samson"
When but youth of seventeen years
he was invited to London by the king
to give an exhibition in remarkable
feats of strength. Among the feats
of his more mature years were those of
breaking with his hands and feet a
rope with a tensile strength of thirty
1--WE hundredweight and the lifting Of
1900 pounds. The following is a copy

what w omen Once Couldn't Wear
While we may pick and choose and
do exactly as we please about our
clothes, there have been in times gone
by, in many countries and even in our
own, what were known as "sumptuary
laws These laws regulated expendi-
ture for dress, for ornament, for food
or for whatever refreshments you
might give company when they came
to take tea.
Among the first of these sumptuary
laws was one made in Rome in 215 B.
c. and called the "Oppian law" 1T de-
clared that no woman should, possess
more than half an ounce of gold, wear
a dress of different colorS or ride in a
vehicle in the city or within mile of
it except on occasions of public reli-
gious ceremonies. This law lasted only
twenty years.
Italy and France are the countries
where most of these laws have been
passed, and some OF them read very
strangely. In 1880, in Italy, no woman
was allowed to wear dress with fig
ures painted on it; she could only have
them embroidered. And in 134S, in the
same country, neither dark green nor
black dresses were allowed TO be worn
in the morning.-St. Nicholas.
