WOMAN KNEW HUMAN NATURE.
Personal Experience Counted in Her
Endorsement of New Pastor.

A Philadelphia congregation was
called upon not long ago to choose a
pastor. The last three ministers had
been persona non grata with most of
the parishioners; and before selecting
another the congregation did some
pretty hard thinking. There was one
woman of experience whose voice car
ried particular weight. Preacher after
preacher was invited to the pulpit for
trial sermon, and all, in the final
analysis, were rejected by the female
arbiter. At last there came along q
possible incumbent who met with her
approval.
"The reason am sure he will give
satisfaction" she said, "is because he
has the right kind of a wife for q
minister. She allows him to rant
around all he wants at home and
doesn't sass back. I found out long
while ago-shortly after I was mar
ried myself, in fact-that a man who
hasn't that privilege at home works
off his spleen elsewhere. A minister
vents it on his congregation That
was why we couldn't stand the last
preacher This one will be all right.
We won't hear peep out of him.
And upon that unique recommends
tion the congregation really did give
the man call. According to last ac-
counts both he and the congregation
were doing well. The wife has not
been heard from.

1t looks strange for New York to be
shipping buffaloes to Oklahoma to
stock reserve, but q careful estimate
of existing pure-blooded buffaloes in
1903 explains the necessity for 1t. At
the time the total of wild buffaloes in
the United States was "a, and in
Canada 600. The captive buefaloes
were, in the United States, 963; in
Canada, Al; in Europe, 100. And yet
40 years ago hundreds of thousands Of
them roamed the west, and these were
but remnant of the vast herds that
existed century earlier. 1t is evil
dent that stringent precautions will be
needed to preserve enough of them
for the wild west shows of the next
generation.

FRENCH SLAUGHTER ARABS.
Thousands of TrIbesmen RepuIsed
with Heavy Loss.

Maghnia, Algeria, Nov. 26.-Ten
thousand of the fiercest Benis Nassen
tribesmen swooped down on the
French camp Sunday and were beaten
of with loss Of 1,200 killed. The
fighting continued for long time and
was conducted on the part of the
tribesmen apparently with total dis
regard for their lives. The French
loss was eight killed.
The Arabs were not discouraged by
this severe repulse, but reformed their
forces and in addition directed their
efforts to rousing other tribes. The
fighting was resumed Monday and the
booming of cannon could be heard
throughout the afternoon.

Nut Growing Industry Of the South.

"Nut growing is comparatively
new industry in the south Atlantic
and Gulf states, but it promises to de-
velop into one of the most important
in that section" said ]. 2. Reid, a
prosperous planter of Florida. "ThS
most popular nut is the pecan, and its
popularity is probably due to the de-
velopment Of systematic methods Ct
grading it and cracking it with ma
chinery operated by steam or electric
power This makes possible the mar
keting of the meats of the nut Yeady
for use.
"The demand is always much great
er than the supply and many planters
are now turning their attention to the
nut raising industry. 1t is not an
common for a tree to bear as high as
200 pounds of nuts in one season and
most of these sell at from 60 to 20
cents a pound. 1t does not require
much figuring to show that the pecan
orchards which abound in some sec
tions are paying investments"

NOBEL PRIZE FOR cRooKEs.
Achievements Of the Famous London
Chemist Are Recognized.

Stockholm, Nov. 25.-The Nobel
prize for chemistry will be awarded
to Sir William Crookes, of London.
Sir William Crookes discovered
thallium, an element, in 1861, and in
vented the radiometer in 1874. He
was knighted in 1897 and has been
closely identified with many of the
most important advances in science.
Prof. Crookes recently discovered a
process of extracting nitric acid from
the atmosphere, which 1t was an

commercial, industrial and agricul-
tural purposes and would revolution
ize the nitrate industry and the

Not to Be Fooled.

A city lad spent a part of last sum-
mer on a farm owned by his uncle.
1t was the boys first visit to the coun-
try, and everything on the farm was
delightfully."- unfamiliar to him.
One afternoon the youngster, who
had been prowling about the chicken
house, seized the product of one cack-
ling hen, and marched exultantly into
the house with his prize.
"Let me have it, son." said the
farmers wife, "and I'll cook it for
your luncheon"
"You must think I'm a greenhorn,
auntie!" exclaimed the boy. Il guess
the hen cooked it all right. It's
warm."-Harper's Weekly.

COLLEGE Manners,

The dean Of the women's depart
ment In a western university recently
told her undergraduates that they are
habitually guilty Of various offenses
against the laws which govern the
well-bred. It is wholesome that this
criticism should come from within Q
college, for that brings hope Of ra-
tonal Improvement. 1t has always
been true that community composed
chiefly of persons of one sex has q
tendency to- drop into careiessness Of
behavior. Colleges have been no ex-
ception to the rule. A certain mother
had entered her daughter at we'll
known college, and went to the town
to make the last arrangements for her
room and studies. She chanced to
arrive on the campus at the time Of
the hourly change Of classes. She
stood on the green, watching the hun
dreds of young women as they trooped
out Of recitation rooms and dormitor-
les. What she saw in five minutes
caused her to determine to send her
daughter to Europe with a tutor,
rather than to college. What was
wrong with the girls?" asked friend,
who could not understand what
seemed to her a capricious change Of
plan. Nothing was wrong" replied
the mother. eff there had been any
question of morals in the case, I
should not have hesitated to trust
Mary to stand her ground. But bad
manners are more subtly contagious
than bad morals. I could not bear to
think of my daughter among the
screaming, 'stramming, slouching
girls, careless of dress and hair and
voice, who swarmed over that campus.
Doubtless there were well-bred girls
there, but they were lost in the
crowd. Education of the mind is good,
but unless it goes hand in hand with
breeding in gentle manners, it makes
scholars who are neither good citizens
nor sweet women-and I want none of
such in my family" So, remarks the
Youths Companion, deans and presi-
dents and professors of women's col
leges may well take to heart the fact
that the world now, as in the past, is
more exacting as to girls manners
than as to her requirements. Nothing
would prove a greater obstacle to the
future spread of the higher education
of women than evidence that it is in
consistent with their being in the
fullest sense of that noble word, gen.
tlewomen.
