was able to perform numerous little
services for Mrs. Smith, who had lost
her youthful husband, Lucien T. Smith.
Mr.. and Mrs Smith, the latter yet in
her teens, had been married less than
two months, and were returning from
their wedding tour in Europe.
On arrival at New York Mr.. Daniel
parted from Mrs. Smith, after she had
been met by her parents. For nearly
two years they did not meet. Again a
storm brought them together. Mr.. Dan
iel was detained in Washington last
February by blizzard, and there he
renewed the acquaintance begun under
such inauspicious circumstances.
Other meetings were frequent and
after a courtship of several months,
rumors of the engagement were circu-
lated among their friends. 1t is under
stood arrangements for the wedding
were begun to take place in the late
summer. Several weeks before the
date set Mr.. Daniel was called to Lon
don on important business and Mrs.
Smith went to New York to bid him
goodbye.

Quarrel Over Skull.

The skeleton of prehistoric man.
found in German East Africa by Dr.
RecE, is the subject Of much division
of opinion among men Of science. Dr.
Reck and Professor FritZch discussed
the find in the Berlin Lokal AnZeiger,
but neither reached definite conclu-
sions. The most surprising thing about
the skull is its marks of advanced de-
velopment. very like the modern negro
skull On this account many scientists
are cautious in their judgments regard
ing its age. DR.. Reck himself points
out the fact that prehistoric races Of
ten show traces Of higher development
that the primitive races Of today.
Professor Fritzch detects remark
able similarity between the Oldoway
man and the skeletons found at Men
tone. which scientists now attribut to a
"Grimaldi race" These skeletons are
also strikingly negroid. both in forma-
ton OF skull and length Of legs.

that German physicians have injected
more than 5000 patients without a
single case Of death being reported. He
thinks it strange that Professor Vul-
Plus should have waited three months
to report such a case in his own prac-
tice and declares lie is in entire accord
with the proposal that the remedy
should be placed under state control.

Leave State Church.

What extensive proportions the
leave the state church" movement
has attained in Germany were disclos-
ed at recent meeting Of the Berlin
synod. The movement is supported
by free thinkers like Professor Ernst
Haeckel and Professor Drews. and
very theoretically by the Social Demo
cratic party. 1t was stated at the
synod meeting that matters had reach
ed point where even the reichstag
no longer contained Protestant ma
jority, as considerably more than half
the imperial parliament consisted Of
Roman Catholics, Jews and Socialist
freethinkers who had renounced all
church allegiance. During 1913 to-
tai Of 12.731 persons were induced to
desert the state Evangelical church,
and for the last six years the number
Aggregated more than $4,000.
