"PasSed All UNDERSTANDING"

Lord Yelverton, chief baron of
the exchequer in Ireland, once
went on Lent circuit, and one
of the Assize towns happened to
be a place of which one of his
college contemporaries held the
living. AT his own request, the
chief baron's reverend friend
preached the Assize sermon.
The time being the month of
March, the weather was cold, the
judge was chilled, and unhappily
the sermon was long and the
preacher descended from the
pulpit and approached the judge,
Sinking and smiling, looking
fully satisfied with his own ex-
ertions, and expecting to receive
the compliments and congratula-
tions of his quondam chum.

Increasing Use of Snuff.

Snuf-using is on the increase.
Old.fashioned dipping is prob

vogue, and it is not merely among
the poor and the black mammies
Of ante-bellum distinction. These
alone could not be responsible
for the $115, 692.76 revenue which
came into the Nashville internal
Revenue Office during May for
the sale of snuff stamps. Snuff
stamp sales totaled more than
half the entire income OF Col
lector Dunlap's Office during the
month previous, the total OF al
revenues for the month being
5000, 471.76.
For the eleven months just
ended, Collector Dunlap has re,
ceived 81, 2S3, 800 for the sale
of snuff stamps. The total rev.
enue for the eleven months was
s2.O49, 417.64, showing what a

forms.

Strength of a Grizzly.

1t is related that grizzly bear
that had one of its forepaws so
shot as to render it useless en-
ployed the other to draw its
weight of one thousand pounds
up an incline almost precipitious,
a seemingly impossible feat.
A Californian asserts that while
in the mountains he observed o
big grizzly in the act of carrying
a dead cow home to her cubs.
From his position on the noun
tain side the Californian could
follow every movement of the
bear in the sparsely timbered
valley below. He contends that
the big beast carried the COW in
her forepaws for a distance of
three miles, across jagged rocks
several feet in height over fallen
logs, around the rocky mountain
side where even a mule could
not get q foothold, to narrow
trail up the steep mountain.
This bear, it appears, stopped
not a moment for rest, but pro.
ceeded straight on. The observ-
er followed her and about half
mile from her lair shot her. The
COW, it is reported, weighed at
least twelve hundred pounds.
while the weight of the grizzly
was about $50.

Two NeighbOrS.

Two neighbors kept hens and
quarreled because they scratched
each others potato rows up. One
sold his hens unknown to the
other, who made large run and
fastened his hens up, saying:
"Now the first hen | see in my
garden | shall shoot"
Next day he saw a hen scratch
ing as usual, SO he got the gun
and shot it, then threw it over
his neighbours rails, saying:
"Take your hen!" The hen was
picked up, taken in and cooked.
The following days the same
thing happened. Still the neigh
Dor took them up and said moth
ing till the seventh came over
and hit him on the head. Then
he picked it up, and threw it
back at his neighbor, saying:
"Eat your own hens. We are
tired of eating them, and prefer
little pheasant | sold my hens
over month since!'

Condition of Medical Education.

In 1904, there were 1866 medi.
cal schools in the United States,
nearly one half of the worlds
supply. They are by the disap-
pearance of commercial medical
schools, but more through the
merging of several small schools
in many places, leaving in each
instance one large, strong school.
This decrease in number of medi.
cal colleges has not been to the
detriment of medical education
but to it's advantage. 1t has not
removed or lessened the oppor-
tunities for students to study
medicine, but has resulted in CIV
ing them better opportunities.
1t has resulted in reducing the
abnormal oversupply to smaller
number, but a better grade of
medical schools. The statement
is frequently made that low
grade schools are necessary so
that "the poor boy can get
medical education" This is not
true. The fees charged by some
of the poorest colleges are larger
than those in several of the best
schools. Some high-grade state
medical schools have fees as low
as $50 to $50, whereas, some of
poorest schools charge fees of
from 800 to 5000. Tables and
reports published recently in The
Journal of the American Medical
Asrociation show that under ex-
listing laws, twenty-seven state
licensing boards have power to
refuse recognition to low-grade
schools, while in seventeen states
this power is limited and in five
states it is lacking. In twenty
one of the states in which the
board has power, it is exercising
it by refusing to recognize the
graduates of low grade schools,
which are not so equipped or
conducted as to be able to give
satisfactory instruction of medi-
cine. These boards should have
the support of the public, as all
efforts to secure better educated
physicians are not for the pro-
lection of public health and the
prevention and injury to the
people.

The Pedestrian in 1918.

Chug-chug!

Honk-honk!

The pedestrian paused at the
intersection of two busy cross,
streets.
He looked about. An auto
mobile was rushing at him from
one direction, motorcycle from
another, an auto truck was CON.
ing from behind, and taxicab
was speedily approaching.
Zip-zip! Zing- glug!
He looked up and saw directly
above him a runaway airship in
rapid descent.
There was but one chance; he
was standing upon a manbole
cover. Quickly selling it, he
lifted the lid and jumped into
the hole just in time to be run
over by a subway train.
