Self Conscious Greatness.

One day in the train-on n Of Vic
tor Hugo's journeys to or from Brus-
sels-he happened to find himself in
the company of two English ladies'
who spoke French. Hugo knew but
one word of English Christmas,
which he always pronounced Christ
mus" In the course Of conversation
these ladies observed that it must be
inconvenient for him not to know
English when he was passing through
that country. To which the great
mans reply was, "When England
wants to talk with me she will learn
my languagep From their astonish-
ment at this answer" said Hugo in re-
lating the story. 1T was evident they
did not know who ! wasr.'-"Victor

Echoes From Horses skulls.

Those curious twists and turns super
stitions take are to be found in the in
PRODUCTION of horses skulls in or about
the church buildings in England and
Scotland, the reaso alleged being to
help the sound in church. This habit
Is unquestionably a relic Of heathenism
where an animal was sacrificed. Some
years ago, when an old meeting house
in Edinburgh was pulled down, the
sounding board space above the pulpit
was found to be filed with horses
skulls. In some parts of England there
still exists the idea that if a horses
head is buried in a field there will be
an echo.

Needless Use Of Opiates.

It is perhaps a conservative estimate
that only 10 per cent of the entire drug
consumption in this country is applied
to the purpose Of bunting incurable
pain. Thus 90 per cent Of the opiateG
used are, strictly speaking, unneces-
sary. In the innumerable cases that
have come under my observation rs per
cent of the habitual users became such
without reasonable excuse Beginning
with small occasional doses. they real
lied within a few weeks that they had
lost self control and could not discOn-
tinue the use of the drug.-Charles B.

The feature was an address by Andrew
J. Cummings. member Of the House Of
Delegates from Montgomery county, and
big ICY" was given such an enthusiastic
demonstration by the students that he was
compelled to respond with a second ad-
dress. Mr.. Cummings dwelt upon the I'M

TONS early life and by which he became
fitted to meet Americas great emergency.
He held up Washington to the students as
an incentive to fulfill with faithfulness the
apparently trivial tasks Of the day in order
to be ready for great work in later years.
Mr.. Cummings, having finished with
George Washington, turned the remarks Of
his second address to giving the students
few humorous incidents out Of his own
career.
After the exercises the corps of cadets
gathered on the campus and gave the
