A FAMOUS LIBRARY.
Origin Of the System Of "6onins" For
College Examinations.

Just before examination time col.
iege students begin to study at top
speed. Usually they call that unwont-
ed occupation 'cramming," grinding"
or "boning" The first, Of course,
means literally stufing knowledge into
themselves. The second was suggested
by the phrase about keeping ones
nose to the grindstone. But how about
"boning" 1t was grateful student
who thus dubbed the process Of abb
sorblng information, for he named It
after the "trot" or PONY" that he
used.
1t was the famous Bohn library of
translations to which the English stu
dent resorted as an ever ready help In
time Of trouble. Henry George Bohn
started his library in 1916 and began
what afterward become big business.
For one thing, h. began purchasing
'remainders" is. the old plates
Of standard works and TRANSACTIONS
and printing cheap editions from them.
Bohn found the publishing of stand
ard foreign works In English so prof
liable that he developed the business.
and 1t used to pay to buy TRANSACTIONS
from poor hack A. BIS who were glad
enough to get farthlng or two for
their knowledge.
Finally practically all the ancient
classics and some modern ones were
obtalnable in the Bohn library. and so
popular did they become among stu
dents who feared being plucked that
Bohn's German was turned into Eng
llsh. and "boning" was henceforth rec
ognized as digging into dead writer's
works by means of the crafty publish
er's translations.-New York Tribune.

had delayed his proposal until 1t was
too late. Now she was about to be-
come the bride Of that sheepish look

He half rose as though to leave;
then he sank back Into his seat again.
He would drink the cup Of humiliation

girl he loved go through the form Of

SkyIarks.

John Burroughs relates that mum.
Der OF years ago friend I'm England
seni him score OF skyiarks In a cage.
He gave them their liberty In field

away. and lie never heard or saw them
again. But one Sunday Scotchman
from neighboring city called on him
and declared. with visible excitement.
that on his way along the road he had
heard a skylark. He was not dream
Ing; he knew II was skylark. though
he had not heard one since he had left
the banks of the Doom quarter Of a
century or more before. The song had
given him Infinitely more pleasure
than II would have given TO the natu-
ralist himself. Many years ago some
skylarks were liberated on Long Is
land, and they became established
there and may now occasionally be
heard In certain localities. One sum-
mer day lover of birds journeyed
out from The city In order to observe
them. A lark was soaring and singing
in the sky above him. An old Irish
man came along and suddenly stopped.
as II transfxed to the spot A look Of
mingled delight and incredulity came
into his face. Was he indeed hearing
the bird Of his youth? He took of his
hat and turned his face skyward and.

"Ah." thought the student Of nature.

! AFTER DEATH.
Large Parts Of the Body Retain Life
For q Time.

For Time.
To the unscientific citizen It Is some
thing Of surprise to learn that large
parts Of the body are alive and useful
SITTER the phenomenon popularity known
as death has taken place. Few OF US
suspect, for example. that our kidneys
and hearts after we have died our
selves can In most cases be resuscj-
tated and that IL by some surgical
miracle they could be transplanted
into another body they would quickly
resume their functions. This. how
ever, Is well demonstrated medical
fact. The human heart has been re-
moved from the body more than thirty
hours after death and made to beat
again. DIR. Carrel himself has taken
the heart from one dog and inserted
1t I'm the neck Of another. connecting
the aorta with the carotid artery OF
the new heart and the vena cava with
its jugular vein. In few moments
the live dog had two hearts rhythmical-
ly beating. one recording a pulse OF
lightweight and the other hundred.
Science has yet framed no precise
definition of death. The human body
teens and quivers with life. only
small part of which becomes part
of Individual consciousness. The
healthy man hardly realizes the nu-
mcrous and complex activities Of his
internal organs. The alimentary canal
Is the abiding place Of millions Of MI
GRO organisms. the activities OF which
only occasionally influence our daily
life. Bodily tissue everywhere Is con-
stantly breaking down and constantly
building up. and yet It is only in the
last few years that even science has
begun TO understand the beautiful
chemical reactions involved In the
Magazine.

vO0D00ISM IN HAITI.
The Vexed Question Of Human Saerl.
fee In the Worship.

The vexed Question Of Human saerl.
fee In the Worship.
That the hold which the voodoo
worship has on the people Of Haiti is
stronger than the power of the church
Is shown by the fact that the day be-
fore the writer's inspection Of a voo-
doc temple In the mountains. where
he saw six goatskin drums, Roman
Catholic priest had visited the district
and made his ministrations conditional
on the people destroying their instru-
ments, but they refused. The govern
ment does not. as rule. interfere
with the practices of the cult on ac-
count Of the political influence Of its
leaders.
The question whether human flesh is
now eaten In connection with the VOC
doc ceremonies is a perplexing one,
which 1t Is impossible to answer with
any degree Of confidence. Local opin-
ion is divided on the matter. Some as
sert that the practice Is secretly In
vogue; others categorically deny 1t.
No one can be found to state that he
has been an eyewitness Of any such
sacrifice. The conclusion which the
writer came to is that there Is no or
ganized human sacrifice taking place
as part Of the voodoo ceremonial.
but that in ordinary life an occasional
instance Of cannibalism occurs-as
murder cases occur In civilized coun'
trles-where the perpetrator. probably
from a tribe of anthropophagi, becom-
ing temporarily insane or highly ex-
cited. reverts to the aboriginal habit.
IL should DC added that public opinion
generally reprobates the act, and the
educated Haitien is thoroughly asham-
ed Of the dark stain which lies upon
his country.-London Times.
