rest of his life to the cleansing of often
sive sores, to working day and night
that lepers may be healed and com
forted. 1t is bit of sublimity of char
acter that the busy world of today can
hardly understand. All this Joseph Dut-
ton did when he was only 40 years old,
when life was at its richest glow, and
for all these long years since then he
has labored faithfully, joyously at his
task.
The world always tries to find some
unusual reason for such remuneration of
its pleasures and benefits, some reason
why such repulsive tasks should be
chosen. The reason is known to few
of Brother Joseph's most intimate
friends, and can only be guessed at by
the world at large. Domestic grief of
long ago, and fancied sin against so
eiety, suggested to this modern ascetie
that a life like this would atone for the
sorrow and the sin of other days, and
after three years search for vocation
he considered this an answer to his
prayers.
Ira B. Dutton was born in Stowe, Vt,
April 81, 1S43, and lived through his
boyhood in GAINESVILLE, Wis, where he
was at the age of nine employed in a
newspaper office and later in a book
store. He served through the Civil
War, and, for distinction in service,
was promoted to the rank of major.
After the war he was appointed investi-

Then came the search for that order
of religious brotherhood which could
give him an opportunity for working
out his religious salvation as he saw
best. He went to Gethsemane, Ky,
and was for twenty months a member
of the community there in the monas-

UNIVERSITY TO-
INCREASES
- EFFICIENCY
Extension Division Opens Up Best OPP
portunities for Development of
Individuals and Conn
10 munitieS.

Every year we. are coming to recog
nize more clearly the fact that the
working capacity and the wealth of
the state depends directly upon the
working capacity and knowledge of
the individual members of the COM
munity. The whole is equal to the
sum of all its parts. A business can.
not be brought to the highest eff
cheney until every man and machine
does it's best work. The wealth of
the city depends upon the wealth of
all of the citizens. When all are pro-
ducing to their highest capacity, the
city gains wealth most rapidly. All
these principles apply to the common
wealth.
In trying to secure the highest eff
cheney of the individual, we must re-
member that this does not come
spontaneously. TO secure the best
results the state or the city must
work definitely and consciously along
the best lines to secure the highest
educational development of all its
citizens. The work of the Extension
Division of the University of Wiscon-
sin is the first recognition of the fact
that the whole force of the state
should be used to give each individual
citizen tire best opportunities for his
individual development, not only as a
matter of right to the individual, but
as matter of wisdom in promoting
the wealth and welfare of the state as
Il whole.

OLDEST CHURCH ORGAN,
Found on Island of Gothland and |

Found on Island of Cortland and In
Excellent State of Preservation.
In the Baltic sea, forty miles from
the mainland, lies the Swedish island
GOthland, a Mecca for students Of
early Gothic architecture. In Wisely
alone, the chief town of the island,
with its population of 5000 souls, may
be studied what remains of no less
than ten churches, some of which date
from the eleventh and twelfth ecu
turtles. The Oldest of them is tn:
Church of the Holy Ghost, completed
about 1046.
Prof. Henneberg, director in Ger
man music school, and especially in
terested in the study of mediaval or
gans, visited fifty-nine churches in
Cortland, and in a little village called
Sundre came upon the remnant of
what is unquestionabiy the oldest
known organ in existence. The case
alone has survived the fret of seven
manuals are placed as in modern in
struments, and inside one can see the
chamoer for the bellows and Judge OF
their action; the exterior is adorne
with paintings from about 1910.
When this ancient instrument could
no longer serve its original purpose
it was used as sacristy, and for the
safeguard OF holy vessels and vest
ments was kept in careful repair,
hence it's excellent preservation to
our day.

Women and Medicines.

In very early times women made up
medicines in the conventional innr-
maries. The Abbess Hildegarde, who
founded a school for nurses at Ru-
pertsburg, near Bingen-on-the-R Rhine,
in the twelfth century, made special
study of the art of healing, and in
structed her nuns in the use of medic
inal plants, the compromising of SIM
pies, and the dispensing of medicines.
Hildegard left behind her the Jardin
de Sante, materia medica of the
time, in which are described the prin-
ciples accepted in the middle ages
concerning the properties of plants
and minerals as related to disease.
The abbess was counted a great and
learned person. was the correspondent
of popes and emperors, and after her
death was canoniZed.
