the Flower college. One of the most
interested spectators was Mr.. Lieber
himself.
In the first visual demonstration
made today, woman was conducted
into the hospital theater, and DR.. King
explained that she had cancerous
growth on the right ear. This growth,
he said, was so tough at first that it
could not be penetrated. After an
application of radium lasting only three
and half hours, the cancer was plia-
BILE and he showed how it could almost
be rubbed off with the hand.
The operation by which the applica-
ton of radium was shown and which
was keenly watched, was the case of
an old man whose lower jaw and throat
were affected by a malignant cancer Of
great size.
Bandages were removed from the
man s jaw, and after injections of CO.
caine, four deep incisions were made
in the sarcoma to receive the radium.
DR.. King inserted "pencils' into two
Of the incisions to the depth of about
two and one-half inches, clipped Oh

tubes containing radium. The opera
ton was complete in seven minutes.

DR.. Harper arrived in New York

Chicago, May 2.-The theater trust

speaking Of the theatrical syndicate and
to it was laid the charge of blacklisting

"Those who dream do not do. Those
who do have no time to dream"
These epigrams from a recent ar
ticle by Sarah Bernhard apply not
only to the art students, for whom
she wrote it, but with equal aptness
to the woman ordering a home or the
business girl earning her livelihood
out of the home.
1T seems to me-" she continues,
that the successful ones are those
who never think at all abbui success,
but simply work. They love art, and
they toll. They make No speeches,
never seek to impress others with the
certainty of their own success; never,
in fact, bother their heads about 9TH
ers or the opinion of others at any
time. They work patiently, they work
year after year; their work improves
little by little, and they wake some
day surprised to find themselves sue
cessful."

They perform all these services with

tached to some af the regiments as
regular four footed soldiers.
The first lesson which they have to
learn is silence They are taught to
repress the outbreak of barking and
to replace this mode of signaling BY
low growl, audible only to their
friends. It is a dificult lesson; but a
more tedious one has to follow. This
is to teach the dog that men are
friends and enemies, and that the way
to distinguish them is by the color Of
their trousers. Soldiers are dressed up
in French and Russian uniforms and
made to whip the dogs, while soldiers
in German uniforms are told OFF to
pet the canine recruits and regale
them on sausage.
The dogs render good service at the
outposts, on account Of their quick
sense of hearing; and they are also
trained muscular strength, their
quickness in learning and their un-
obtrusive color. For ambulance sery-
ice, however, Scotch collies are con
sidered the best.

Some boys and girls may have
grown-up brothers and sisters who
are engaged to be married. If so, you
know how excited you were when you
first heard the news. If you lived out
in Afghanistan, however, such an oc-
casion would be even more exciting,
as the customs of becoming engaged
there are very strange. indeed.
In that far Eastern country, if a
young man wishes to marry, he goes
to the father OF the girl he has chosen
and asks for her hand Before the
father grants it he seeks a priest and
makes an offering to the god of mar
riage to see if it approves. If the god
approves, as it usually does when
enough money is given, the priest lets
out blood from the arms OF the young
man and his future father-in-law.
After this the lover lives at the ex-
pense Of the young woman's father, for
a month at the close of which the ia
ther invites him to solemn festival,
when the approaching marriage is
sealed by making cuts in the arms OF
both young people, and mixing their
blood in bowl.
Then what time follows! A fam
lily council is called Immediately, at
which the engaged young lady appears,
all bedecked with jewels, her face
smeared with butter and cord around
her neck. Poor thing! She must
meelly listen while her lover quarrels
with her father about how much
money he must pay for her. Some
times this money question takes long
time. as each tries to get the better OF
the other. 1t is not until the lover has
paid over the money for his bride that
he can take her home.
An engagement ring such as civil
lied peoples have is ever so much
nicer than the Afghan blood-letting,
buttered faces. paying of money to
idols and fathers-in-law, is it not?

You must vary this game by trying
to guess the length OF the tail as well
as the color.
For forfeits you can have the chill

college profession, who wouldn't be
convinced that beavers could build
dams until he saw it done with his
own eyes. One day / bought baby
beaver of a hunter who traps them,
and sent him to my skeptical friend.
He grew greatly attached to the little
fellow, and kept him in the house,
but he often wrote to me that his
beaver didn't show any propensity at
all for dam-building.
ION Monday, washing day, his wife
set leaky pail full of water on the
kitchen floor. The beaver was in the
kitchen-he was only baby then, too
-and he saw the water oozing out
of crack in the pail. He scampered
out into the yard, brought in chip
and began building his dam.
THE naturalist was summoned. He
watched the little fellow, thunder
struck Said he:
Leave that pail there, wife, till
doomsday, If need be, and let's see
what the little fellow viii do,
"The beaver kept it up for four
weeks, until he had built solid dam
clear around the pail.
MY naturalist friend is quite a

There high appears the mornings glow,
While black extends the night below,
