Kerby Resumes Stand.

Resuming his testimony, Kerby told
of the destruction of the notebooks Of
his fellow-stenographer. James G. Mas
sey, at the suggestion Of Carr. private
secretary to Mr.. Ballinger, and explained
how he had happened to preserve his
own notebook which contained parts of
the dictation Of the Lawler memorandum.
on examination by Mr.. Vertrees Kerby
admitted that he had taken this note
book from the department. and that
the important parts OF II had been pho
tographed at the instance OF the repre-
sentative OF the newspaper association
which he had given his statement
Senators Roet and Sutherland, on cross
examination, asked questions intended to
emphasize the disloyalty of Kerby's act.
but Kerby insisted that he did not re-
gard what he had done as disreputable.
But do you think anybody would give
you employment under the circum-
stances?'' said the Senator.
Il think some men would" said Kerby.
'and some would not"
In his examination Of the witness At
torney Brandeis asked question in which
he read into the record the brief state
ment issued at the White House Saturday
to the effect that there was no founda-
ton for Kerby's statement TO the press.
Obviously his sole purpose was to get the
White House statement into the record
but Senator Root interposed a vigorous
objection

The Country School.

While marked improvement has been
made in the rural schools OF this country,
they are yet not all that they should be.
Frequently they are woefully deficient
in the matter equipment, says the Seat
tie Post Inteiligencer. Often, too, the con-
dition OF the public highways and the lack
of other means of transportation make it
difficult for pupils to reach these centerS
of education. OF course, in the very ma
ture or things the rural school probably
cannot be brought up to the high standard
of schools in urban centers but certainly
they may be improved in many ways, and
there are few more important educational
problems than the problem which has to
do with the improvement OF these educa-
tional institutions. The country school
is an important and vital factor in our sys-
tenn Of education, and we have not paid
as much attention to il as its work and
worth have merited. The usefulness and
social and economic efficiency of many
men and women who must play some
part in the affairs OF tomorrow will de-
pend wholly upon the kind of training
they receive in country schools, for cir
cumstances will make it impossible for
such as these to get beyound the village
school room in their efforts to secure an
education.

Pharmacy For Young Women.

Only of late has the profession of phar-
macy attracted womankind. For some
unknown reason the mixing of drugs has
been left to man alone. But some Of the
colleges of pharmacy are now turning out
women graduates, more all the time, and
there seems no difficulty in finding posi-
tions for them.
For some years the enforcement of our
laws regarding the compromising of drugs
was very lax, and many non-graduates
were found to be handling life and death
in the little prescription-rooms of Ameri-
can drug-stores. Some time ago the
matter was investigated, with the result
that the laws were more thoroughly en-
forced. For this reason there had been
an increasing demand for really expert
pharmacists, and the women who could
fill the need were offered good positions.
Their dizziness and conscientious accu-
racy have proved them valuable prescrip-
ton clerks. The work is agreeable and
the course of preparation is an excellent
education in itself. Some OF the best COL
leges OF pharmacy in the country receive
women students, the course lasting two
years if the students previous training
has included one high school year.

Concerning Buttermilk.

Things which not every one appre-
ciates. about which there is certain ma
yor of exclusiveness, usually command
The eager enthusiasm of their admirers.
Thus the devotion OF the lover OF butter
milk to his favorite tipple is al most pas
sionate. He cannot help Boosting OF It's
virtues, and urging it on the palates OF
those who do not like il and do not wish
to learn to. His very zeal often defeats
its own ends, which is pity, for butter
milk is a wholesome drink, snd deserves
to be more popular than il IS.
There is, to be sure, alegend that every
one drinks il in the country. The Jug IS
supposed to be filled after each churning,
and em2tied long before the next one.
In haying-time as quencher OF thirst,
and in the winter as promoter OF mild
and cheerful convivality, buttermllk IS
declared to be the true rural beverage.
Unfortunately, the facts are otherwise.
Farmers, as a rule, feed their pigs and
not themselves on the by-product OF the
churn. Switched, no doubt, has more
rovers, although less laxative ones, and
so has cider.
But Professor Metchnikoff, the eminent
biologist, has givena useful advertisement
to deserving article. He discovered
that intestinal microbes, which he holas
responsible for many maladieS, including
premature old age, do not thrive IN iactlc
acid, which is the characteristic thing
about buttermilk. He also learned thai
the Bulgarians, a nation OF sour-mIlK
drinkers, produce an astonishing number
of centenarians. Ergo: if you would 1--we
long, drink buttermilk.
Boston, temperamentally unable to re-
sist innovation, whether dietary, religious
or educational, has responded at once.
Ten thousand quarts day are consumed
there, and the restaurant-keeperS have
taken to making up the beverage out OF
ordinary milk and prepared lactic-acid
tablets. From other cities come similar
reports; the habits demonstrably spread
ing. Not every one who drinks il will
live to be hundred; but the taste once
acquired, buttermik is delightfully."- re-
freshing drink in hot weather, and health
full and nourishing the year round.

You would hardly thiuk if possible that
anyone's life would be in danger from
wolves in Parkersburg, w. Va, but
Clyde Morlan, an eight-year-old boy,
had very narrow escape on Monday.
He was standing near the door OF the cage
containing three wolves at the menagene
in City Park, when one OF the animals
grabbed the boys left arm and the other
two fastened their teeth in his legs. But
for timely rescue by an attendant, who
was standing near by, the lad would have
been torn to pieces by the beasts. He
was removed to the City Hospital. Sur-
geous decided that the arm would have
10 be amputated.
