A. & m. COLLEGE CADET
NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH

w. X. Weatherford of Eastwood, a
student at the A. and NJ. College, mar.
rowly escaped death when he came in
contact with live wire at the College
Telephone Exchange Saturday night.
He was behind the switchboard, pre-
pairing to use an electric iron when in
some way he short circuited the cur
rent and was thrown violently forward
unconscious. All lights on the campus
went out, and in darkness his COM
rades sprang to his assistance, dragg-
ing him into the open room.
Immediately artificial respiration
was commenced, and DR.. Ehlinger, who
arrived after short interval, states
that their prompt action undoubtedly
saved the boys life. More than half
an hour elapsed before he regained
consciousness.
He was up yesterday, none the worse
for the experience, except a severe
bruise over the right eye and burn
across the left palm.

HAD BAT KILLING TIME

A very interesting and amusing
spectacle was seen in front OF the
Smith Drug Co.'S store this morning
when about fifteen young men lined
up with sticks and brooms to knock
down the leather winged bats as they
we're run from their hiding places be-
tween the awning and the wall, by the
porter of the drug store with torch
on long stick.
The torch was held close to the bats
until the heat became too great and
down they would fly. causing scram-
BILE among the men in the gauntlet
on each side OF the man with the torch.
Some of the bats succeeded in get
ting away by either flying too high to
be hit or by being missed by members
Of the gauntlet.
There were about five hundred Of
the bats and out OF this number about
half were killed, leaving the side walk
strewn with their bodies. The fun was
fast and furious and much enjoyed by
all.

The death of Congressman Timothy
D. C"Big TIM Sullivan, caused deep
mourning in the Bowery, where the
former political boss's demise is great
ly lamented. big Tim" was good to
the denizens Of the Bowery, who have
always had picturesqueness all their
own. When Charles Dickens visited
the United States in the late 'I0s Of
the last century. and had landed il.
New York, he asked Cyrus W. Field
to introduce him to Bowery Boy, and
Field agreed to do so. So, starting to
the Battery one morning, on their way
to Broadway, Bowery Boy was met
leaning against lamp post, and Field
said: "Mr. Dickens, there is a Bow
cry Boy" With quick step Dickens
accosted the Bowery Boy, with the
inquiry: "Sir. would like to go to
Broadway" You would?" said the
Bowery Boy, gazing over his shoulder
at the great novelist, Then, why in
hell don't you go?" That Bowery Boy
was big Tim" Sullivan! And The
Republic started out to say, the deni-
zens OF the Bowery will miss big
Tim" greatly, as well as the annual
"blowouts" he has been in the habit
of entertaining them with for the last
quarter of century-Texas Republic.

PARCEL POST PAYS
Postoffiee Officials Say New Service
Is Showing q Profit Already.

The new parcel post regulations
are working so well in New York
City that the mails are practically as
heavy as during the usual Christmas
season. A large number Of parcels
are being mailed for delivery in the
first and second zones under the re-
duced postage rates. Advertising
matter constitutes large part Of the
increased weight of mails. but the
bulk of it apparently relates to the
parcel post or mail order business of
denartment stores and merchants.
That the parcel post will more than
pay it's own way is beyond question,
according to the officials of the Post
office Department. While Postmaster
General Burleson will not predict a
surplus for the fiscal year, which end
ed June 30. other officials of the de-
partment insist that there is no pos
sible doubt on that point. They go
further and declare that surplus Of
approximately $10.000.000 is a certain
ty, due largely to the establishment Of
the parcel post.
Postmaster-G Burleson takes
the conservative position that he
wants to show a surplus that cannot
be explained away by any kind of fig
uring. He told a newspaper CORE
spondent that he had in contemplation
two further changes in the parcel post
system that would make an annual
surplus certainty. The exact nature
of these changes he would not indi-
cate.
The present surplus is made up
largely of increased postage revenues
from the sale of fourth-class mail mat
ter between January l and June 80
For that six-month period the reven-
ues from fourth.class matter approx
mated s14,000,000. For the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1912, the receipts were
approximately $12,500,0OO, or nearly
$1.500,000 less than for the first six
months of the parcel post system. The
railroads received no compensation
for carrying parcel post matter be.

HEALTH OF SCHOOL CHILDREN
School Hygiene Movement Takes As
peet Of Cure Rather. Than Pre-
vention. &

At the fourth international Con-
gress of School Hygiene, held recent
ly at Buffalo. one fact stood out WV
idly In the scientific exhibits held in
connection with the congress. In
place of the oldtime before taking
and after" which used to SAVIOR of the
chamber Of horrors" variety, special
stress was laid on the sane and cheer
full aspects of fore-stalling disease by
exercise, fresh air and sunshine.
The old familiar exhibits OF wan and
careworn consumptive children were
replaced in the exhibits with cheerful
pictures of "pretuberculous" young
sters busy In the school of the out-of-
doors, their faces bright with the hope
of health, typical of the knowledge that
fresh air and sunshine can and will
drive tuberculosis from the arth.
There were wonderful pictures of
city girls engaged in outdoor sports
and games-The New York school
girls. for instance who in their Public
School Athletic League illustrate the
newest health spirit OF the hour, the
spirit of wholesome recreation, to
which even the tenement seems to sue.
cumb.
There were more illustrations of
healthy teeth than decayed; there was
less emphasis on the pitiable condition
of bad teeth and more stress on the
advantage Of good teeth, and. above
all, there was the spotless school dent
al clinic Of Cincinnati and other cities,
with its promise Of better, cleaner
mouths for future school children.
The one big central fact. both in the
exhibit and in the speeches. was that
school hygiene is to be henceforth con-
sidered from the point of view Of
health, not disease; that sound bodies,
clean minds. normal development, air
and sunlight, rational living. education
to fit for natural productive life. are
the things to be stressed and that It is
not SO much fight against disease as
it is fight for health.
The school hygiene movement today
takes the aspect Of how best to ad-
vance the health Of the school child
prevention rather than cure.
