Thirteen Clubs" Banquet.

Many of the secret societies OF the
University of Virginia have rituals as
secret as the mental process of the peri
winkle, but it remained for the Thirteen
Club, on the 18th day of March, to hold
a banquet whose scheme was enough to
make cold chills run down the back Of
the boldest.
The Thirteen Club defes superstition,
laughs at the Omens Of i'll luck and has
chosen a cenotaph in token of their con-
tempt for the vanes that turn in ether to
the breath Of superstition.
On the evening OF the 18th the thir-
teen entered their mess ball single file,
passing beneath a ladder, that each
might absorb his quota Of the evil to be-
fall. At the door every member drew
pape,, numbered up to l3. The man
drawing the highest number was to take
upon himself whstever luck good or
bad, that should accrue for the defiance
of the phantoms who inhabit the un-
known.
Dpbn tuC ldolC ibi NObtVi PiOSO ""'
a grave seven feet long Of newly dug
earth. Upon the tombstone was inscrib-
ed the name of the man drawing the
thirteenth number and this inscription:
"Died between March l3, 1906, aud
March Is. 1907. SuperstitiO in amino
IDscii Solum Habitat"
The thirteenth man sat facing the
tombstone. Around the table we're
raised l3 umbrellas and man sat be
meath the threatening shadow Of each.
As each member drew his chair up to
the banquet board he broke small mir
70: and turned over a salt stand. The
dinner cards were in the shape OF cof-
fin lid, aud each had quotation regard
ing superstition. Ices were served in
tiny cotius; 10 front Of the plates a SIN
gle pin was laid pointing toward the
diner The napkins we're white with
black borders and the rings were human
vertebre. Thirteen inverted horsesboes
Ornsmerted the table At the head Of
the board were a human skull, snake
and dagger and the number lS. Dur
ing the banquet bird was lOosed in the
room and futtered on the window.

MAYOR and Minister Clash.

Rev. John Wesley Sullivan, chaplain
of The Pennsylvania senate and pastor in
Asbury Park, and Mayor Hoskins, of
Manasquan, n. Y, are splitting fire and
thunder at leach other, all because the
the minister. who has been conducting a
revival in Manasquan, singled out the
mayor for special prayers. The mayor,
who is also editor of the local Newspaper
in ManasquaD, told tie Rev Mr.. Sullivan
that when he felt in special need of per-
sonsl prayers he would stand up in
meeting and ask for them. Hoskins,
commenting on the minister's gratituous
insult, as he terms it, says:
"This man, who bears the name Of the
founder of Metbodism and also that Of a
noted pugilist, seems eager aud anxious
to combine the characteristics Of his two
namesakes. Now, | don't care how
much Sullivan rays. lie can pray for

Varieties of Corn

Twenty varieties of corn were planted
on The Virginia experiment station
plats April 20, 1905. They matured
from September 4 10 October 25. Early
Leaning ripeDed in l2S days. This is
yellow corn which is well adapted tc al
most any section Of the Stete. Boone
county White, an improved strain from
Indians. msturtd in 1872 days; Virginia
Golden Dent 10 I52 days; Hickory King
in l5G days; Cookies Prolific in l75
days. Our experience with Virginia
and western grown seed indicates that
the climate has determining Influence on
the shape and character Of the grain,
Our climate does not favor the develop
ment of a long deep grain with rough
top 50 characteristic OF the western corn.
This indicates very clearly that Virginia
farmers must undertake the selection and
Improvement of strains of western corn
for themselves aud that they cannot use
the western grown product, except pos
siby for foundation stock These varIe-
ties of corn were planted in checks 1916
inches apart in each direction which
gave 1000 hills per scre and 5000
stalks.
The Importance of selecting corn care
fully and using standard varieties was
shown By the fact that there were only
T. per cent. of barren stalks in BCunts
Prolific IS compared with 43 7S per
cent 10 Virginia Ensilage. There was
l6 8S per cent of barren stalks in b bone
county White and Hickory King; ~ 80
per cent. in Virginia Golden Dent and
90 per cent. il Leaning Boone county
White led in yield with 80 35 bushels;
Virginia Golden Dent was second with
47.50 bushels; {, cke's Prolific third
with 43 92 bushels; Hickory King fourth
with 80 So lushels; Blouurs Prolific
fifth With 40 35 bushels; johnson county
White sixth with 81 S5 bushels, aud
Leaning seventh with 37.9l bu-hes.
These are some of tie best varieties
as revealed by one years Investigations,
and it is a question of such importance
to the majority Of our farmers that the
work will be pushed vigorously this
year, When it is remembered that the
Yields of these 26 varieties grown side
by side varied from rs TO so bushels, the
importance of selecting and improving
strains of corn adapted to a given local
ity becomes apparent, and it is with the
idea of emphasizing this point that the
above suggestions have been made.

Scandals S in the British Army.

Astounding revelations of army waste,
muddle, and inefliciency following on
the close of the war in South Africa, by
which hundreds of thousands OF pounds
have been lost to the nation, are made in
The report of the Comptroller and Audi
tor-General on the British army appropri-
alton account for l904-5 AT the Out7et
the Comptroller states that similar cases
to those mentioned in his last annual
report have been noticed, in which sur
plus supplies sold to contractors and re-
sold by them to other contractors have
been purchased from the latter by the
army at considerably enhanced prices.
These cases are to be brought under the
notice of the Royal Commission now in-
quiriug into the system of sales and re-
purchases, and therefore he does not
consider it desirable to give details OF
the cases. The revelations, however,
are sufficiently remarkable without these
details.

Lake of Oil in Ocean

Vessels arriving at Galveston report
having encountered an immense lake OF
oil fifty miles off the Texas coast, through
which they plunged their way for nearly
three hours. The oil is about two inches
thick, covering an area of several miles,
and appears to be gushing up through
the water in heavy stream. Experts
examining the oil fields declare the origi-
ual lake under Texas aud Louisiana has
found an outlet through the Gulf. This
theory is borne out by the fact that the
production in the fields has dropped of
nearly one million barrels in the last
sixty days, despite the many new wells
sunk.

Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation.
Women suffering from any form Of
female weakness are invited topromptly
communicate with Mrs. Piukham, at
LYNN, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk OF her
private illness to woman; thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of
experience which she has to draw from,
it is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if She does not take advantage OF this
generous offer of assistance.
If you are i'll, don't hesitate to get a
bottle Of Lydia E. Pinkham sVegetable
Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pink

This afternoon at the Bijou there will be given the first performance of Because She Loved Him So'" It is the first time that the piece has ever been offered to the public at popular prices and it is eminently fitted for presentation as holiday attraction. The play offers ample opportunity for ingenious scenic effects and devices and the costuming, though of modern date, will be elaborate.
 The leading roles are to be played by Gertrude Shipman and Lawrence B. McGill who are cast as Mrs. Ger trude West and Oliver West, a young couple who seem unable to live amic- ably. Frank Wallace and Edith Cro-
 lius are cast as MT. and Mrs. John Wetherbee, the father and mother of Mrs. West. The piece offers numer- ous humorous situations and is one of the best comedies eyer written by William Gillette.

lAfter a prolonged negotiation by wireless the management of the Nieo- let has been enabled to communicate with the little folks best friend, Santa Claus, and the old chap with the long whiskers and the long memory has been busy with his reindeer team O nights unloading a great quantity of Christmas presents to be given away to the patrons of the Nicolet at every performance to-day and to-nlorrow The variety is so great that to enum- crate the various gifts direct from the North Pole which Peary failed to climb that it would require an illuu1in- ated newspaper supplement to specify and illustrate them. The dolls are the sweetest ever seen and the confectlons the sweetest ever tasted, the toys are from Toyland, direct via the Consoli- dated trolley, and the N. r., N H, and Y R. R., which now owns the earth and all it's connections, except the New Haven green. Mellen's watered stock isn't to be compared with the stock that Santa Claus has put into the Nicolet and the management is go- ing to put out free gratis (for nothing) The melon that Saint Nicholas is go- ing to cut would stagger a stockholder receiving dividends on a liquid appcr, tionment. And then there's the Christi mas bill, its a sumner. Hippodrome races to take the breath away, Rallies the Dog; How Jones L5st His Roll l (probably buying Christmas presents), and lR,bbing the Magistrates Mail It is expected that MT, s.
