Answer Still Wanted.-A lear

Answer Still Wanted.-A learned
professor at one of the public schools
was explaining to his class how the
identity of an object might remain
even after the loss of one Of its parts.
Here" he said, lis penknife; now
suppose l lose one Of the blades and
replace it with new one, 1t will still
be the same knife"
The scholars seemed to understand
that part of the lesson, so he contin-
ued. Then, If should happen to lose
the other blade, and replace it, would
the knife still remain the same?"
YES" replied one of the pupils.
Now" said the professor trium-
phantly, IF should lose the handle
and have a new one put on, would II
be the same knife?"
Certainly answered several of the
scholars.
But just then boy arose, one of the
kind who do not always answer in
class, but do the thinking.
Professor" he said, suppose
should find those two blades and the
handle that you were supposed to have
lost, and put them together again
what knife would that be?"
The professors answer was not re-
corded

a present of a fine turkey to the
judges wife.

ease her suspicious, and so he gave me

Mrs. Ransom gave him in return two

that the bird was a tame turkey and
not of the wild kind, because the judge
detested getting his mouth full Of shot

to ask you why in the Sam Hill you
lied about that turkey not being a

Ingenious Old Jars.-From time to
time fresh illustrations are afforded as
to the ancient's ingenuity, with special
reference to what are termed the lost
arts
Recently it has been shown that the
old Peruvians must have understood
the laws of atmospheric pressure in
order to construct the curious jars and
vases they left. One of these pieces of
pottery was ornamented with the fig
ures of two monkeys and when water
was poured into or out of the vessel
sounds like the screeching Of monkeys
was heard. Another similar vessel has
the figure of bird that uttered appro-
pirate notes; another was ornamented
with a cat that mewed and another
with snakes that hissed. An ingenious
water jar bore the form of an aged
woman on whose cheeks tears were
seen to trickle, while sobs were heard
when water was poured from the jar

An Imaginary Peril-Rass Lake.
which is in Indiana and is fished thor
oughly all summer by Chicagoans. Is
peculiarly safe body of water. 1t con-
sists chiefly of a sand bar over which
water about four feet deep is lashed
into terrifying waves by every little
summer breeze. To the stranger 1t
presents the appearance of real In
land sea, where none but the best
swimmer should venture.
A Chicago newspaper man and his
wife arrived there on their annual va
cation. 1t was their first visit. Early the
next morning they were out in the
middle of the lake fishing. The man
leaned over to adjust some tackle, lost
his balance and began swimming
madly as soon as he hit the water. In
falling he had given the boat kick
with both feet, sending 1t further out
into the Lakeland his wife could not
row.
The woman stood up in the boat and
screamed. The man swan desperately
toward the shore, praying that his
shoes and sweater wouldn't drag him
under.
He and his screaming wife were
watched by an old man who sat fish
ing from a pier, while the wind toyed
with his lavish beard.
The woman in the boat frantically
implored this old man to save her hus-
band. The ancient fisherman arose
impassively, megaphoned his hands
and shouted to the swimmer:
stand up, you lunkhead!"
Experimenting, the man in the lake
let himself down.. Then in water up to
his chin he stalked back to his boat

the promoter.
How much land have you?"

than twenty-three years service as In
structor and professor, at the age Of
65, is entitled to retirement pay rang
ing from ninety per cent Of the active
pay Of the low salaried individual, up
to $4,000 q year for the maximum. A
thousand dollars a year is the retiring
pay of teacher drawing an active
salary of $1,000. For salaries above
this, up to the maximum allowance of
$4,000, the retiring teacher gets $1,000
to which is added $50 for each extra
$1OO of active salary received before
retirement.
The other class of teachers entitled
to retirement pay in the accepted in
stitutions are those who have served
twenty-fi five years as professors or thir-
ty as professors and instructors. Their
pay is slightly less than those who are
retired for age, and they can be retir-
ed only after a medical examination
which shows them untitled for further
work. Women who. for ten years, have
been wives of men drawing or entitled
to retirement allowances, are, upon the
death of their husbands, entitled to
one-half his retirement pay.
The foundation has found great diff
ficulty exercising the right given by
the trustees to the executive commit
tee to grant retirement allowances in
exceptional case, notably to men who
desire to devote themselves to research
and to college executives who have
rendered noteworthy service to the
cause Of education, and it is probable
that this provision will be entirely
withdrawn.
President Pritchett, of the founda-
ton, regards the modern college as the
most soulless of all corporations. He
declares that, appealing to the college
spirit, they work their teachers almost
to death, and as soon as teacher gives
down under the strain his job is taken
away from him. DR.. Pritchett points
out the case of college which writes
to the foundation, declaring that Pro-
fessor A., having served the college
faithfully for twenty years, and hav-
ing broken down completely in health,
Is compelled to stop work altogether;
and is without means and has a fam
lily. Clearly he is not entitled to Car
negie pension, but will not the founda-
tion waive its rules in his case, for, of
course, the college can do nothing?, DIR.
Pritchett found, upon investigation,
that the college had spent a large sum
on an atheletic field the year before,
and was spending enough on advertis-
ing for students 1t could not decently
care for, to take care Of several teach
ers "of such high service and pathetic
situation" President Pritchett receives
hundreds Of such ietters-Frederick ].

a girdle of camers hair for raiment

Did not much Of the vast influence
which Jesus has exerted come from the
fact that He never had money or place

replied to the threat Of the emperor
that he could not take from him his
goods because his treasure was ir

was his fatherland?
