Hate to Quit Leper Colony.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
One OF the curious phases of life at the
Molokai leper settlement was illustrated
when seven persons from the settlement
were brought to Honolulu two days ago to
be re-examined to determine whether they
are now afflicted with leprosy or not
They are all persons who have been at
the settlement considerable time, most
of them several years. They are to be re-
examined because when the members of
the legislature visited the settlement some
weeks ago these individuals showed no
outward sign of the disease, and their re-
examination was asked for by some Of the
legislators.
But when these seven were directed hy
the superintendent of the settlement to
get ready to go to Honolulu to be re-ex-
amined they all demurred. They declared
they did not want to leave the settle
ment, even II it should be proved that they
were free from the terrible disease. They
asked that assurances be given them that
IL they were found free from leprosy they
would be permitted to return to the set
tlement as k0kuas or helpers to lepers.
This is not at all an unusual experience.
Though the dread of being sent to the set
tlement Is SO great among the Hawaiians
that they hide their afflicted until hiding
is no longer possible once they live at the
settlement the life there is SO carefree, SO
well provided in material comforts that
seldom is there any desire to leave.

Training for Clergymen.
Philadelphia Press


The number Of students at the semina-
ries Of all the communions diminishes.
They come. for the most part, from the
smaller colleges. The proportion Of men
intending to study for the ministry at the
larger eastern colleges, once from so to
25 per cent, has dropped to from to 5
per cent of all the students. In some de-
nominations the men studying to be cler-
gymen are not numerous enough to meet
the losses by death.
The training provided for clergymen is
not only sought by fewer men, the re-
suits appear to be less satisfactory to the
churches. There are more churches with
out a pastor and more pastors without a
church. Complaints of the difficulty of
grow. and SO do the complaints of men
of opportunity for work and pastoral
service.
If like conditions existed as to law or
medicine, it would be a challenge of the
whole system of education for both call
ings Changes w uld come. > Ills is equal
ly true of the theological seminary. Its
work is of the foremost Importance 1t is
needed by the community. Nothing is
more Indispensable than the moral and
religious leadership committed to the
clergy. If the present training for this
work year by year attracts fewer men,
and year by year those educated are less
sought, it is plain that new conditions
demand a new training or fundamental
interests will be seriously imperiled.

Country Life In Kansas.
rom the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
Kansas SCOTS at John Burroughs as
sertion that 1t does not cost much money
to live in the country. A Kansas City
paper remarks that one cannot have fine
automobiles, grand pianos and take the
family to Europe once in a while unless
he draws some pretty big checks-and
that is how the Kansas farmers live. The
truth Of Mr.. Burroughs remark would
seem to depend largely upon what part
of the country one lives inland how he
lives. After all. 1t is hardly fair for
Kansas to come into the argument In
that opulent commonwealth the simple
farmer would seem to have grand pianos
and automobiles forced upon him by the
prodigality of nature.

MEMORY OF HENS.
Germans Say They Are as Inteli-
gent as Average Child Of 3 Years.

Germans Say They Are as Intelli-
gent as Average Child Of Years.
From the Loncoln Star.
Two German psychologists have just
been amusing themselves by studying the
memory Of hens. Their method was very
simple. It consisted in gluing twenty
grains OF rice upon piece of cardboard
and scattering among them ten grains
Of wheat, not glued. The card was then
placed before the birds. These pecked
at the rice and the wheat indiscriminate-
ly, being, Of course, unaware that the rice
was immovable and the wheat free. The
resistance of the rice to their efforts to
pick up the grains puzzled the fowls un-
til they found the rice was a fixture, and
after three or four feedings reached the
point of devOuring the wheat and paying
no attention to the rice.
The experimenters discovered that by
allowing an hour or so to intervene be-
tween the feelings the hens learned more
quickly than when these followed each
other in rapid succession When they
were fed without pause the hens did not
learn to know which of the grains were
immovable until the sixth experience, but
when an hour was allowed to intervene
between the tests they learned after the
third. 1t would seem that the observa-
lions of the fowls and the remembrance
spread over longer period. as If they
profited by reflection upon their expert
ences.
The experiment was extended in an ef-
fort to learn to what extent a hen could
count. If a line of grains of wheat be
made, each alternate grain being glued
down, the hen learns very quickly to pick
up only the even numbers without at
tempting to eat them. When every third
grain is left free, two attached grains be-
ing placed between the free ones, the
hens take little longer to learn to count
Il. 2, peck: 1, >, peck. But when three
attached grains are placed between each
pair of free ones the hens seem unable
to learn the game: it is too complex for
them. This indicates that hens can count
up to three but no higher
Similar experiments have been made
suit unless the child was at least three
years old. This suggests that hen is
as intelligent as the average baby of
from two to three years.
1t would be interesting to extend these
experiments in an effort 10 discover how
much more intelligent roosters are than
hens. That they are more intelligent any
farmer will tell you. Who has not OBJ
served the difference between the pro-
cedure of a hen and rooster In trying
to pick pieces out of a cabbage leaf? The
hen Simply pecks at the leaf lifting 1t
from the ground with each peck and the
bird gets angry with it when it finds it
cannot peck off bits 10 swallow. The
wise rooster, after one futile peek, pla ces
his foot upon the leaf. holding it down.
and pecks off from between his toes the
morsels he desires to eat.

Calvin and Chauvin.

II John Calvin had not Latinsed the
name he inherited from his forefathers,
what they are now celebrating in Geneva
would be called Chauvinism-which means
a very different thing from Calvinsm as
matters are. For Jean Chauvin, or
Cauvin. simply put himself into Latin
as "Calvinus," and came out of it again
as Calvin" As to the 'Chauvinism"
that is-the peculiarly French variety Of
iingoism-it is said to perpetuate the
memory of one Nicholas Chauvin, a
soldier of the revolutionary and Napole-
onic armies. born at Rochefort, who was
wounded seventeen times. and remained
such a staggering fire-eater and patriot
that he became the theme of popular
songs. But he may have been only the
invention of some song writer or comic
artist.
