Scholar or Athlete.

The athlete or the scholar? Which
type of man does the word want.
That is the query suggested by Presi-
dent Hadley of Yale in an address to
the Harvard winners of scholastic
honors. 1.-TWO generations ago the
intellectual idol of the graduates and
students at most of our colleges was
the leading debater. Now it is no
longer the debater but the athlete
who occupies the center of the STAGE
The fact thus stated is apparent
everywhere. The scohlar has small
place in college life. The one who
thinks of the debater's platform as a
field of endeavor is counted amiably
eccentric by the average student. AS
for earnest work with books in the
quiet of the room or in the library,
that is laughable. The midnight
oil' idea has a different meaning
nowadays.-Chicago Tribune.

KEY TO INSCRIPTIONS.
Stanford University Educator Says
His Discovery viii bo Most
Valuable.

Prof. George Hempl, professor at
Leland Stanford, Junior, university, is
quoted as saying that he has discover
ed a key to ancient inscriptions on
tombs and columns that he regards
as more important than Etruscan, his
solution of the inscriptions on Ger
man Runics.
Prof. Hempl declares that his find
will have far reaching results on an-
cient Latin history and on disputed
facts of Latin grammar and etymol-
ogy. While only 80 Etruscan in
scriptions, out Of mass of 5000,
have thus far been deciphered by
Prof. Hempl, the translation of these,
he says, indicates that the history of
ancient Italy, as written at present,
must be greatly modified The theory
that the Etruscans and the Latins
were different peoples is exploded by
these readings, declares Prof Hempl.
AS interpreted by him, the Ian
guages of these neighboring tribes
are alike in all important respects
save the writing. The conclusion he
reaches is that the two nations sprang
from the same primeval race. DR..
Hempl says that the Etruscans were
descendants of the Trojans after the
fall of Troy, thus corroborating the
story of Virgils Aeneid.

Sardou's Experience,

Talking to an interviewer not long
before his death, Sardou told story
of his early days when as poor med
ical student he was adding to his
scanty means by teaching Latin to
some fellow-students. About this
time he hawked three of his plays
around Paris theatres.
But managers, with one excep-
tion, were too busy to see me or to
read my plays" he said. "This gen.
tleman-I shall not tell you his name
-condescended to read my produc,
tions, and he pronounced them rub
bish. A few years later l had no diff
ficulty, whatever in disposing of all
three without having altered a line.

Cleanse Lace Curtains.

Came across the way to clean lace

laundrying curtains as much as / do.
Claims they will look like new after
this treatment, even If discolored with
dust and smoke, and they will cer-

and shake them free from dust;
spread a sheet on the floor and lay
one curtain smoothly on it; cover
thickly with corn meal, lay on an-
other curtain and again cover with
the meal. Continue until all the cur
tains are covered with the meal, then
roll up loosely and lay away for a few
days. When wanted, unroll, brush
off the meal and hang on the line in
the wind and sun for half a day.
When hung up against the window
they will look like new.-Boston

A Suggested Change.

The house could not materially
weaken the power of the speaker while
presiding over it's deliberations with
out impairing it's efficiency. But pre-.
siding is the business of the speaker,
and legislation is the business of the
house. A change in the rules which
would give to the members in general
the selection Of their own legislation
would be in harmony with the present
tendency to do away with the arbi-
trary political power Of Individuals

Lords PRAYER on PINS Head.


William l.. Stuart, young man en-
gagged in business in New York city,
has performed the seemingly impos-
sible feat of engraving the entire
Lords prayer on the head OF an Or
dinary pin, to which he has added
his name and the year, making al
together 276 letters and figures. Mr.
Stuart did the work at odd times dur
ing his regular employment and with
very ordinary tools, which seemingly
are not adapted to such fine engrav-
ing. The pin was set in a block OF
wood, and common engraver's too
was used. A simple microscope, cost
ing only about 25 cents, and known ar
a linen tester" furnished the neces-
sary magnifying.

Rule For Doing Big Washing Easily.

Rule For Doing Big Washing Easily.
Soak clothes over night, using
tablespoon of washing powder to each
pail of lukewarm water. In the
morning lift clothes with stick into
the boiler, cover we'll with cold water,
using powder in proportion to the
amount Of water. Let it come to
boil and boil twenty minutes; stir the
clothes with stick occasionally; take
clothes from boiler, drain off the
water, fill in tub with cold water;
wiring the clothes from this water
into another tub Of cold water; souse
we'll with the hands or stick; drain
of water; fill again and repeat. Have
blueing water ready and wiring
clothes out in the clear water, then
put each piece separately in blueing
water; wiring out and put in basket.
In this way there is no scrubbing,
unless it might be very soiled wrist
bands on a child's blouse. If the
washing is very large, it had better
be done in two parts. There will be
no tired back, and a nice white wash
on the line. Be sure and open kitch-
en- windows at the top while boiling
to allow steam to escape.-Boston
