What's Geography Good For7

This is from the philosophy of Mrs.
Louisa SchInitt, who berated a teacher
for not promoting her daughter be-
cause the latter was deficient in geog-
raphy. Teacher, you don't know it
all, guess" said the irate Mrs.
Schmitt. i wish it that my daughter
gets through school SO she gets man.
Never mind about the geography;
just promote her without it. Why,
my other daughter. she didn't know
geography and she got a man. And
you know all about geography and
you amt got any man at all. What is
this geography good for? See that my
daughter gets through school,"

How a Pilgrim Got Back His Stolen
Purse in Church.

From Czenstochowa, the Mecca of
Polish pilgrims, comes an amazing
story of condolences. A pilgrim went
to one of the priests and complained
that some thief had stolen his purse
while he was in church, and asked for
money. The priest replied that he
had no money and that the best thing
for the pilgrim to do was to try to
find the thief. Il shall go into the
church and steal money from some
body else" said the pilgrim, "for
have nothing to go home with" He
went into the church and seeing a
man in the crowd with a wallet on his
back slipped his hand into it and
pulled out his own stolen purse, with
the exact sum he had left in it. He
was so glad to find his money that he
hurried off to tell the priest and the
thief got away.

Home in Nuremberg, Germany, Covet-
ed by Many.

Berlin.-Lithograph look at 1t
and sigh. It's plain, plastered stone
house about so yards from the ancient
city hall of Nuremberg, Germany.
There is nothing to distinguish it from
the other old houses of the neighbor-

ographic stone, worth from six to 81
cents pound. So photographers who
go to Nuremberg wander from the
worn tourist trails to see the wonder
The house was built about 1880 near
!y 100 years before Alois Senefelder,
the discoverer of lithography, was
born. Andreas Lichtenstein, who
built it, took the stone easiest to get
and secured it for the trouble of carry
