Women Students in Berlin

The educational statistics of Berlin
show that the number of women stu
dents is increasing there. The theo-
logical department alone shows a fall
ing off, there being only one woman
registered. while there were several
last year. Besides the 25S women
who attend lectures without matricu-
lating, there are IL women In the
school of Jurisprudence, 172 medical
students and $50 in the department of
philosophy. There are in all about
LIS women students, Of whom the
majority are In the philology and his
tory departments. The record shows
that many of the important professors
have student daughters and that these
do not, as a rule. aim to perfect them
selves in the branches taught by Their
fathers. Among the representatives
OF the official class Is the daughter

COLD I'm
The HEAD
Is The First Chapter In The Misery
OF Chronic Disease.

A cold in the head is the first chap
ter in the history of disease and death.
inns has been so often repeated that
there are few people indeed who have
not witnessed many examples of it.
cold IN the head is rarely severe
enough to confine a vigorous person
TO the house As a rule. it ends in
recovery without any treatment. This
has led many people to regard a cold
IN the head as of no importance. 1t is
a terrible mistake, however. to pass
by cold in the head as a trivial mat
ter. Every case should be treated
Those who have used Peruna for
such cases will testify unanimously
tnat few doses is sufficient to re-
move every vestige of the cold. How
much better it is to treat a cold in this
way than it is to allow it to go on and
on for weeks, perhaps months, leaving
effects that will never be eradicated.
Yet there are those who neglect to
take Peruna for a cold in the head.
This neglect is due TO the false notion
that cold in the head is hardly worth
noticing.
A cold in the head is in reality a
case of acute catarrh. 1t ought to be
called so, in order to awaken people
from their lethargy on this subject. In
a large per cent. of cases cold in the
head will end in chronic catarrh. I'm
less properly treated with some such
remedy as Peruna, perhaps SO per
cent. of cases of cold in the head will
lay the foundation for chronic catarrh.
A tablespoonful of Peruna should be
taken at the very first symptom of
cold in the head. Usually where the
cold is not very severe a tablespoonful
of Peruna before each meal and at bed
time is sufficient. 1t may be neces-
sary, however, where the attack is
more serious, to keep strictly in the
house and take a tablespoonful of
Peruna every hour. Younger people,
feeble or delicate women, should take
teaspoonful every hour.

According to Hoyle.

'fhe kindergarten was working up
to her subject by showing pictures of
Washington and asking the little folks
who he was and why we celebrated
his birthday. When the pictures were
half way around the circle little John
said: Il know, Miss Smith. He was
king"

do not have kings in this country.

DeOuiacey's sour Lady of Tears" Did
Not Suggest the Character to
Dickens.

It is remarked of Charles Dickens
that no modern writer was less open
In the charge of having received sug-
gestions from the characters and plots
of his novels from others than was
he. and this for the reason that his
plots and characters were chosen, not
from books, but from people and in
cidents in the living world about him.
Some time ago, however, an English
author thought that he had found in
DeQuincey's essay, Our Lady Of
Tears" the suggestion for the beauti-
full pathos of Little Nell, in The Old
Curiosity Shop" A little investiga-
ton. however. showed that De-
ouincey's essay was published in 1S46,
while "The Old Curiosity Shop" was
published five years before. The ex-
tract here given from DeQuincey's es-
say is interesting:

'Phone Faster Than Sound.

An example of the relative rates OF

Manhattanward from Paterson, n. j.,

The manager of a large manufacturing

The sound came over the wire and
continued about five seconds. Several
