GERMAN GIRLS SCHOOLING
No Colleges for Them in Their Own
 Country, But They Have "pmsion."

The German girl leaves school at about 15 years of age, by which time she has learned to sew, mend, and sup posedly to speak English and French.
 She has not learned higher mathe- matics. says Modern Women, but she has learned the small things which fit a girl for housewife or companion, and that, in Germany, is woman's only sphere.
 Ktwever much we American girls may enjoy our colleges we dare not pity the German girls, for they have some thing which takes their place and of which we can have no conception until we reside in Germany few months.
 Did you ever hear of pension? It is one of the most enjoyable things which exists. Certain influential la dies, mostly widows or maiden auhts;s make known that they are willing tQ. take limited number of young ladies into their family.
 We went to Hanover, two of us girls, with horror and dread of boarding school, as we heard pension described. We found ourselves in a family of eight girls. all from the very best class of Germans, and all placed under Frau von H-'s care for year or more.
 None of the girls had any special ob- ject in life; a few wanted to learn how to keep house, a few indulged in an hours music lesson per week, but most of them came. as is the German cus- tom, for the sake of becoming polished. and being escorted to concerts, thea ters, balls, receptions. student Kneipes, etc. opportunities not afforded in smaller cities, and even not in many cities that are larger than Hanover.
 Consequently our chaperon accepted invitations for her girls, parties were given and the great intimate family spent year full of pleasure.

 There is a strange story connected with the safety pin." the clerk said. "An Englishman invented this pin some 30 or % years ago. For this ad- mirable invention he was highly hon. pred. Fetes and applause were show cred upon him. If am not mistaken. tle man was even knighred.
 And about three years ago. in exca- vating in Pompeii. they came upon what do you think! A perfect safety pin. Hundreds of perfect bronze safety pins. The Englishman's invention wasn't new at all. It was 1000 years old.
 "The man had been feted and hon. ored all his life. he had even been knighted. for an invention that he didn't invent"

HORSE AND HoRsELEss.
The Animal and the Auto Each Do the Other an Occasional Good
 Turn.

A farmer in Cadiz, Ind, recently lacked up his automobile to serve in lieu of broken engine in the shelling of corn and cutting of fodder for his live stock and horses. The latter par. took of their share of the feed with out showing any hard feeling toward their deadly rival. the auto.
 One man who has been touring the country says that the horses have ac- cepted the automobile more gracefully than the farmers have.
 He tells the story of an automobil. lst who met an elderly couple driving a skittish horse which decidely object ed to passing the unknown vehicle. The driver of the car stopped to offer his aid, but the man declined 1t with the remark:
 If you'll lead my old woman by. I guess the hoss and I can make 1t all right"
 Another horse and horseles yarn comes from a man in Oregon. He peysao.-S sp
 "When bought my car, marveled that the company could sell 1t for $1.550. Now marvel that they could Sell 1t at any price. Marveling is the cheapest part of the proposition. I hnd.
 My particular marvel out in my barn reminds me of the man who built so much stone fence in one day that 1t took him two days to walk back to where he began. My car will take me --sometimes-so far from home in two hours that 1t takes the rest of the day for me to drive home with provi- dentially hired horse.

RETAIN PRlMEvAL IDEAS.
Indians Are Not Free with Informa- ton to Agents of the Gov
 ernlnent.

Alexander Posey, the Creek clerk in the Dawes commission, who works for the government among the full-bloods, runs across some interesting characters among the Indians, some of whom live far from towns, speak their own lan- guage, seldom get out of their own neighborhood and still have faith in the treaties of the government with the Indians.
 One of these is Artus Hotiya, who cannot speak English. The other day MT. Posey went to Hotiya's place to get information concerning a child of Hotiya who had died. In reply to questions Hotiya answered:
 You crossed the Wewoka creek this morning? It is spring and the water runs; you see the green grass on the prairies; the grass still grows. Our people have agreed that so long as water runs and grass grows, we shall not have our lands divided nor our governments supplanted. am not yet ready to give information"
 This speech was made in Creek and represents the dignity and faith of the old class of Indians who still resent the government allotment of lands. When it was explained to him that all the in formation wanted was such as would make possible an allotment for his child, he replied:
 God has given her an allotment in the graveyard. She is dead. The all lotment there is all that she is entitled to. A grave is all the allotment that l am entitled to and all that God intended that should have. It is enough. The Great Father placed the Pacific on one side and the Atlantic on the other, and the land between he gave to the Indian. "The white man came and he set cor ner stones and told the Indian that he must live between these. The Indian cannot live so.. He is being stihed by the white man, who has disarmed him ef his bow and sgroow and driver, p,nSsIl iron the forests the game. The end Of the Indian is near, but am not yet ready to contribute to hastening it."

FRENCH TOYS FOR BEACH.
Are More Elaborate Than Those Made for the American
 Youngsters.

The toys with which French chill dren play on the bench include va ried assortment of implements and playthings to use in the sand at the seashore.
 First, there is a sand screen, such as builders use, but in miniature, and which, with brace at the back, can be set up in like manner on the beach, for screening the sand; and then there is little hand sieve or sitter which can be used for the same purpose.
 With these sets there is a pau to carry sand in, and there are a shovel and a sand scoop to dig with. and there is also a little rake, and besides all these there are little uns moits!or forms in the shape of fishes and shells and capital letters of the alphabet; and finally there goes with each set, as part of 1t, skipping rope.
 Certainly pretty elaborate outfits are the little French sand sets for chil- dren.

Physiological Facts.

A persons eyes are out of line in two cases out of five. and one eye is stronger than the other in seven per- sons out of ten. The right is also. as a rule, higher than the left.

Verona, in Italy. is now completing the excavation of its Roman theater. a work which was begun in 1894. It is built in a semicircle. It dates from the time of Augustus Caesar and was lav- ishly decorated with marbles from Greece, Africa and Asia.

Above the tiers of pri- vate boxes rose the places where the plebfans were seated and from where they looked down on to the stage or away to the water jousts on the river.

 Pedestals made of stone, marble or cement, especially recommended to en- dure the changes in temperature pe- culiar to this climate. cost from s2o to s1o0.

 There are vase forms and there are square or round pillars, surrounded with sculptured figures. The most at- tractive are the simple square pillars, beautiful on account of their perfect proportions.
 One of these pillars. together with the brass dial plate. will cost about $50, although the price may go as high as s1O0 if either the engraving on the brass or the cutting on the stone Is elaborate.
