CO-EDS FOREGO MARRIAGE.
Statistics Show That Chances of Col lege Women Becoming Wives Arc
 Rapidly Decreasing.

Over four-fifths of the women gradu. ates of the University of Chicago are on the high road to spinsterhood. This is the startling result of researches con- ducted by Mayo Fesler, who, as general secretary of the Alumni and Alumnae as- sociations of the institution, has conn., piled statistics of the university and its students in the form of general register. covering the first decade of the univer- sity's history. The figures do not include the women who have taken higher de- grees. but only those who have completed the undergraduate courses and who. therefore, might be expected to be win- some enough to tempt the heart of the average man.
 The register contains the names of 59S women who have received bachelor degrees from 1893 to 1902 inclusive. The late of these coeds is shown by the fol- lowing percentage table:
 Percentage women married. ..............-ls Percentage women teachers. ....."........N Percentage women lat homs".
 An examination of the table for each class shows that the chances of the ex. co-eds for becoming wives are steadily growing less. The first class that gradu- ated in 1893 contained three women and all of them married The next class had nine feminine members and not one of them has yet entered the bonds of matri- mony. The class of 1895 has a higher percentage and then comes the class of 1Sg6 with a marriage percentage of B among its women members. From that lime there has been steady decrease. Of lhe 125 women graduated in 1902 but siy aey cert. are married.

SHARK AS A MESSENGER.
Carried Newspaper to Sydney outdis tancing Steamer Conveying Iu-
 portant Item of News.

The story of the discovery oi human bones and bangles in the interior of the crocodile captured at Fort Johnson, Rhodesia brings to mind another story which may appositely be recalled at the present juncture. Every body has heard of "Mrs. Macquar rie's chair," as they call the east ern point of Farm Cove, in Sydney harbor. There, says the St James Gazette, it was that a poor emigrant, in cable days, killed and lowed ashore shark, cut him up, and found London newspa. per in the internals. In the paper was the announcement of the war between France and Germany. The shark had outdistanced the steamer by which the mail was coming, and here the discoverer had the fact to himself. He gave his information to a wealthy wool dealer, who bought all the sea sons clip at 9d. per pound, and sold at 3s. after the news of the war had arrived by the ordinary channel. He cleared, it is said four millions sterling by the deal. The man who killed the shark and extracted the news of price-well, he received a battered silk hat and a five shilling piece and unre. strained liberty as to the disposal of the shark.

WAS WASHINGToN's STAFF.
Interesting History of Cane onos Owned by Father of His
 Country.

One of the things that passed through the Baltimore fire un- scathed was cane once owned by George Washington and now the property of Maj. H. H. Raleigh. The cane reposed during the fire in the vault of the Merchants Credit and Collection Bureau at Liberty and German streets, says the New York Sun.
 "In Gen. Washington's will," said Maj. Raleigh, 1.-two canes are mentioned. One was bequeathed to Robert Washington, of Chop tank, Va., who gave it to Robert Thompson, a relative.
 "Later it passed to Miss Kittie Thompson, a sister of Robert Thompson, and finally Peter Ora. son Washington of New York, who was assistant secretary of the treasury under Guthrie, was the owner of the stick.
 "Peter Grason Washington be- queathed the cane to the oldest male heir of Gen. George Wash. ington who was living at the time of his death. The late Mrs. Ra. leigh was a granddaughter of 8 Mrs. McPherson, of Washington, D. G., who before her marriage was a Miss Washington. After some contention it was proved that Mrs. Raleigh's brother, whose family name was Edwards, was the person entitled to the pos. session of the cane. I purchased the relic for my wife, and wher she died it became my property"
 Although described as a cane. the relic is really staff. It is of bamboo, about four and a half feet long and just such a stick as Washington might have used in tramping over his broad acres in Mount Vernon. The Washington coat-of-arms adorns it's gold head, anditis encircled with a gold band, upon which is inscribed:
 "Willed to Robert Washington and by him to descend to Peter Grason Washington, of New York"
 As soon as the embers had cooled, Maj. Raleigh hastened to the vault and was much relieved to find after the cane had been re moved from the chamois skin case that 1t had not been scorched.

SNAILS OVERRUN A CITY.
Inhabitants of Indiana Town OrgaAs ize Night Hunts and Kill
 the Pests with Salt.

plague of snails. or slugs, as the af- ficted people call them, lately struck Jeffersonville, Ind. in full force, and instances are cited where persons have been compelled to move. Their first appearance was after the flood of Feb. ruary, 1884, but they have never been SO bad as at present. The pests are not exactly like a snail, but resemble them in some respects. They have no shells and are night raiders, says the New York World.
 At no place in the city where the flood water failed to reach has one of the slugs been seen, but in the most fashionable quarters the pests are numerous. In size they range from one to six inches in length, being from a quarter to an inch in diameter. It ia not until ten o'clock at night that the snails come out of their hiding places. under houses, and slug hunting parties have become fashionable.
 Armed with lamp and cup of salt. the people hunt for the pest. and when a slug is found its days are numbered. for the smallest particle of salt means death. The more salt the quicker the work.
 They leave behind slmy track, that furnishes a clew to their movements. In some places fine carpets have been ruined. the slimy tail eating like acid.
 One of the most peculiar character istics of the slugs is their ability to get their large bodies through a small space. They f1atten out almost as thin as a knife blade. allowing them to crawl through good-sized door crack.

Forgot the Chimney.

A short time ago a public cers mony was to be carried out al Landshut, an important town iA Lower Bavaria. A new public school was to be formally opened, and all Landshut quivered with pleasurable anticipation. Unfor' tunately the festivities had to be put off at the last moment. The school could not be opened. No scholar could take his seat upon the brand-new forms. The land was in the grip of winter, and the architect had forgotten to provide single chimney throughout the building.

Weldon, Ark, July 50, 1904. To Whom it May Concern. This is to certify that we had our church house insured against fire and wind in the American Insurance Company of Little Rock, Ark, and the house was blown over in a storm. The company very promptly put it back at large expense in better condition and stronger than it was before the storm. We thank the American Insurance Company for it's promptness in replacing our church to our en- tire satisfaction, and we recom- mend the company to those who have houses to insure.

RADlUM PLANTATIONS.
stance Can Be Used to Cure Pulmonary TuberculOsis.

Frederick Soddy. who was Prof Ruth erford, assistant at McGill university. ja Montreal, has suggested another use for radium. He argues that as it hax been found to cure consumption of the skin Qupus). it should also cure con- sumption of the lungs, if its rays can bs brought to bear directly on the diseased lung tissue. without any intervening substances. such as the chest wall. At first sight, says the Scientific American. this seems rather difficult thing to do, n 1t is, of course, out of the question to place any solid mass of radium within the lungs themselves. But recent stud les have shown that radium In a solution gives of gas and that this gas is itset radioactive. So all that is necessary to subject the internal lung tissue to the direct action of fadium rays is to breathe A mixture of air and the radium gas. By this means MT. Soddy believes new and valuable remedy for consumption will b, available to the patboiogist. The rays from radium have already proved use- fuI in the treatment of several forms of skin disease, and 1t has been suggested that the insertion of minute particles of radium in the interior of cancer Is worth trying. It should be remembered. However. that even if radium proves val iuabIe in the treatment of pulmonary tu- berculosis, its cost is sof ofhigh-several hundred dollars grain-rthat 1t could not come into general use under present mnnHfffcna
