A COLLEGE WoMAN's PHILOSOPHY.
Tangible and Intangible Results Of the Four
Years Training.

IF We could collect in one place at the end OF
the college life every visible result Of the four
years work. sad a serious young woman yes
terday, who CREDITED from well known
college last June we might fancy for moment
that there Z ~~ast deal more in those books
and papers than tl-ers was left in minds;
but then as realized afresh all the fulness OF
gained were not those in the books and papers bIt
somewhere else. This last thought would be a
much better one than the first, because the only
right and proper place for everything that has
been acquired is not within the narrow limits Of
notebooks but present and ready in the daily
thoughts. and so influencing them TO affect con-
tnually the actual life.

be little, are infinitely wiser than they who

continues this philosopher. 1.-THE trouble with
great many people in this world is not that they
are lacking in sufficient brains. but that they
not know how to use those they have. Waste is

the world to leave idle and useless the faculties

CAUGHT THE THIEF.
An Incident Which illustrates Japanese
Detective Methods

Recently in the village of Tahara-
mura, Japan, all the male inhabitants
above the age of fifteen years were as
sembled in front of the local Shinto
shrine at the call of the village chief.
A thief had been making depredations
In the local tobacco plantations, and
the chief sought to discover him. Out
lines of the feet of all the villagers
were taken on sheets of paper, and
then these were compared with the
tracks left by the thief in the tobacco
fields. Nothing resulted from this ex-
pertinent The next day the inhabit-
ants were called together again. A
great hole was dug In the ground, and
a raging charcoal fire was built IN 1t.
All persons present were ordered to
walk through the fire barefooted, it
being declared that no person would
be burned except the guilty one. All
advanced to undergo the ordeal except
one, Shukichf Shibata, man Of evil
reputation. He declined to trust his
feet to the redhot Goals. Accordingly
he was arrested and soon confessed
his guilt.

THE RATHER.
II Rarely Sounds Its Note of Warning
UAil Attacked.

Contrary TO the general belief, the
rattler rarely gives its characteristic
note of warning until actually attack
ed. In fact, the sharp, vibrant ring of
its terminal appendage is probably de-
signed more to assist this very slug
gish serpent to obtaiA its food than to
sound defiance or warning. In the
first place, serpents possess but the
most rudimentary traces of auditory
apparatus and are practically deaf, the
deficiency in the sense of hearing be-
ing compensated for by an extreme
sensitiyeness of feeling which makes
them aware of the approach Of moving
objects by the vibration of the ground.
Hunters, treading cautiously upon a
soft carpet of moss or leaves to avoid
alarming game, will often step close
to or over q rattler without disturbing
1t or receiving warning, and while
many snakes are seen and killed by
them 1t IS probable that a far greater
number are passed by unnoticed. All
snakes are timid and would rather run
than fight. and the rattler Is not invit-
ing certain destruction by advertising
its wherea bouts in the brush.-Francis
Metcalfe in Outing Magazine.

In France and Italy many persons

ounces, and it is situated on the right
side Of the pig, touching the liver. A
spleen from q cow or bull weighs
about two pounds, but is little more
spongy than the pigs spleen, which is
the best. If some one should start the
fashion we would after awhile pay rs

mark should start the habit.-Chef Va
