Discussed Over the Prunes.

"Why is 1t, Miss Willing, that fat men always have the prettiest wives? l seldom see a jolly, fat man with an ugly, cross looking wife. By love, those fellows just go in and win the pretty women every time"
 Well, MT Hammerslee, I can ac. count for that. You see, a husband should be a sort of bromide, should have soothing effect. Fat men are placid. -alm. jolly and good providers. They like the good things of life them. selves, and they like to see their wives we'll dressed, and to sit down to good table. No wonder women like them better than they do lean, dyspeptic. nervous, cranky men. who find fault, nag. and are stingy. Men like this want a lot of waiting on and attention, they are generally jeal- ous and selfish. Fat men hate a fuss, seem to understand that wives are as fond of being spoiled and of having good clothes and good dinners as other women are, and hence women natu- rally marry men of this temperament"

INHERENT LOVE OF THE SOIL
Characteristic That Is the Most Deep-
 ly Planted in Mortas.

The first man was a gardener, we are told. Certain it is that the first men were iillers of the soil. after they ceased to be wandering warriors. That is where we get our love of na- ture, declares writer in the Kansas City Journal. That is why we build parks and have flowers clambering about our premises. That is why we are strangely at peace when we get out into the mountains and lose our selves among the fragrant woods. That is why we loathe at times the smell of paint that is on civilization and long for the perfume of the life that IS close to the green leaves and the wild flowers. That is why we are so happy when We camp out and why we are so reluctant to return. That is why our earliest recollections of the "old farm" are the Sweetest and ten derest of our lives. That is why we crack joke at the simple life" and back to nature" and all that-when somebody is around-and why we know, away down in our hearts, that the simple life Is the life most worth living and that we cannot get close to anything sweeter or purer than na- ture, Mother" Nature, whose sons and daughters we are, from whom we may wander far, but to whom We re- turn as prodigals, finding the prodi- gals welcome and the prodigal's peace.

OPEN THEIR DOORS TO WOMEN
German Universities Now Admit Stu.
 dents of the Fair Sex.

The universities in Saxony and in the southern half of the empire-Ba- varia, Baden and Wurtemburg-have all opened their doors to female stu dents, and granted them all academic rights, matriculation, graduation, etc. Others admit them only as visitors to lectures. but refuse to them all other privileges. The University of Berlin has adopted compromise, refusing matriculation to women, but allowing them to attend courses of study as vis- itors, and also, with the approval of their Instructors, to present them selves as candidates for the examina tons leading to the doctors degree.
 During the last winter the 21 Ger man universities enrolled 320 matricu- lated women, and 2,504 female wis, itors. There was an increase over the preceding winter of 35 matriculates and of 399 visitors. The matriculates were divided among the eight universi- ties, where they are allowed entrance, as follows: Munich, 125; Heidelberg, 65; Freilburg, 53; Leipzig, 36; Jena, 20; Tubingen, 9; Wurzburg, 8, and Erlangen, 4

SIZE,
Sufficient Reason.

The coored driver of an ash and garbage wagon was proceeding up Columbus road the other day urgently exhorting a weary, melancholy looking horse to hasten it's steps. The animals tongue was hanging out just as a matter of adding to its dejected ap- pearance-hanging out so far in fact as to occasion comment.
 What makes that horses tongue hang out that way for?" inquired a bystander.
 What fo' does it hang out?" repeat ed the driver. Why, that's to keep i'm from stumblin'. Don't yo' know nuthin''
 Keep him from stumbling? How do you figure that out?"
 Why" explained the driver, don't you see if that hoss was t stumble he'd bite his tongue off? You know that hoss ain't agoin' to do no sich fool thing as that."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

BOARDING HOUSE GEOMETRY.

"A scientific friend of mine has drawn up boarding house geometry that strikes me as being noteworthy" says youth with third-story front" Some of his definitions run as fol- lows:
 T. All boarding houses are the same boarding houses.
 '2. Boarders in the same boarding house and on the same floor are equal to one another in the matter of price, but not in the matter of outlook. '3. A single room is that which has no parts and no magnitude.
 A. The landlady of a boarding house is parallelogram-an Oblong

HIRAM'S STROKE OF BUSINESS.
AolI Fever" Windfall for Lazy and
 Interruptions Texan.

During the 'oil fever" in Texas some years ago the surprise of Hardtimes, a little town in the southwestern part of the state, was the cjsco-ery of oil on Hiram Strong's place. If ever there was a man misnaned 1t was Hiram, for he was the weakest, scrawniest, most pusillanimous mortal in the whole country. In addition, he had the reputation of being the lazi. est man for a radius of ten TTiles in all directions.
 However, the oil on his place was Of good grade and after some dick ering Hiram was enabled to sell his land outright for good figure. Then he "salted' his pile somewhere. some how, and proceeded to enjoy life.
 The purchasers of the land. to their dismay, however, found that the vel! vas exhausted after few gallons of OH had been pumped out. They pro eeeded at once to hunt up Hiram, 10 him they told the startling fact and acused him of fraud.
 How many gallons did you get cut'' he asked.
 They told him at least six; no more, though.

The Bryn Mawr House in WaIes.

About half way between Dolgelly and Barmouth, in Wales, we found a house that interested us very much. 1t is called Bryn Mawr, and is the home of the man who founded the town of that name in America. The house is a square stone structure, standing back from the road and is now converted into 8 kind of wayside inn where tea is served to the traveller. It Is said that after . residence of some years in America. he became % homesick that he returned and made . replica of the old house. It seems passing strange that two of our lead ing colleges should he thus linked

Curtis had married Mrs. Strong fully
