The average educated man gets
salary of $1,000 year. He works forty
years, making total of $4,000 in a
lifetime. The average day laborer gets
$3.50 day, 300 days in year, or $3.50
in year. In forty years he earns
$4,000. The difference, or $4,000,
equals the value of an education. To
acquire this earning capacity requires
twelve years at school of 1870 days
each, or 2160 days. Divide $4,000,
the value of an education, by 216o,
number of days required in getting it,
we find that each day at school is
worth a little more than $40 to the
pupil Can't afford to keep them out,
can we?

caused by parasitic worm in the in

Their Excessive Grief.

Lord Brampton related that once
while he was plain John Hawkins he
defended a man for wife murder. The
prisoners two children. dressed in
black and sobbing violently, were in
court, and their grief and the lawyers
eloquent speech combined to acquit the
defendant. That evening at dinner he
met an old inhabitant of the neighbor-
hood, who complimented him upon his
speech. However" he added, Il think
that II you had seen what 1 did when
driving past the prisoners cottage last
week you would not have painted the
home in such glowing colors. The little
children who sobbed so violently in
court this morning and to whom you
made such pathetic reference were
playing on an ash heap near their cot
tage, and they had a poor cat with a
string round its neck swinging back
ward and forward, and as they did so
they sang:
''This is the way poor daddy will go,
This is the way poor daddy will gol

lice officials believe c.et they have at

where 50 many women are said to have
been murdered several years ago by
II. H. Holmes, who was afterwards
hanged in Philadelphia. Detectives
working on the case of John Hoch,
accused by HIS wife of poisoning her
sister two days before his marriage
to herself, have come TO the conclusion
that Hoch is none other than the jani-
tor who suddenly disappeared after
testifying in behalf OF Holmes when
the latter was being tried on a murder
charge.
IIoch, according to the police, an
swers the description of the missing
janitor in every detail and a deter
mined effort is being made to effect
his capture. According to the police
authorities. Hoch is still in Chicago
and it is only a matter of few hours
before he will be under arrest. with
the discovery that Hoch is still in the
city, information reached the police

ried by Hoch but after living with
him for few weeks died, after which
he disappeared, in the same manner

wher. Men Arc Not AlIowed.

On a small island in the Greek archi-
pelago there is a colony which is com
posed entirely Of women. 1t is sort
OF religious order which considers It a
disgrace for one of its members to
even look at a man. So, when a fish
erman approaches the island the wom-
en- pull the gray cowls Of their cassocks
over their heads and turn their backs.
Provisions are never imported, as the
women raise their own products, being
strict vegetarians. Only the matron,
who is annually elected head Of the
colony. is ever allowed to leave the is
land. The others remain on the island
all their lives, taking their turn at till
ing the soil, washing, housekeeping and
fishing.
