BERNE, Switzerland, Sept. 4
Switzerland is finding that not the
least profitable phase of the tourist
business. which is recognized as the
principal source of revenue of the
country, is the sale of articles left
behind in the hotels by tourists in
general, but Americans in particular.
All efforts to find the owners having
failed, the articles are held for a year
and then sold.
In this years sale is a $1,000 check

A Nocturnal Visitor.

In the bungalow now a new era
dawned. There was no marked change
in James mode of life but there was a
vast difference in the spirit of it, A
little army of Joy gods entered and
gave battle to the gloOms Every day
in this conflict of mental legions the
joys triumphed. Not alone did they
crush the foes of James spiritual well
fare. Such victories won they took
hold of the physical being and with
deft touch here and there restored it
to the full power Of its natural beauty.
They put light into the eyes that
had seemed, perhaps, little tired;
added fresh glow to cheeks that had
become a little wan and gave quick
elasticity to step that had grown list
less.
Jane was really beautiful woman.
But she was the type that needs the
full blend of all attractions to complete
the picture of the subtle whole. She
was tall and willowy. Vivaciousness
made her slimness a charm; without
this spirit she was thin. So, too. her
hair, luxuriant, abundant raven tresses.
seemed heavy and added years unless
flashing eyes and colored cheeks de-
fed its somberness. And, just as a
prosaic life and tired, dulled senses
had caused the bird to droop, keeping
pace with frayed and worn plumage,
now new prospects and new feathers
caused 1t to thrill and fiutter.
Mrs. Collins, keen observer of all
these changes. literally winked the
other eye. She was not the kind who
scorns gossip but having once met suf-
f1cient rebuke from Jane and being
more or less beneficiary of this pros
perity she held her peace. If her
nerves required material relief now
she had but to make the want known.
The means was always at hand.
There came presently into the Rev
nolds household, however, something
that disturbed even the equanimity of
Mrs. Collins. This was a servant girl.
She was inefficient and unframed. but
she kept James hands out of the dish
water.
"The extra expense is so little" Jane
had told her neighbor. why, l pay
Frieda only two dollars and a half a
week."
Mrs. Collins turned up her nose and
opined that the girl was committing
larceny, at that. But the idea of the
hired help" ranked just the same.
She saw that James hands were get
ting white and soft while her own
were red and rough. She sought refuge
in rubber gloves which in many a
woman's life are mute evidence of
vanity or pathos as the case may be.
But Mrs. Collins gave them up. 1t was
no use, she told herself. The hands
weren't all. Jane was young and
pretty and the common bond of COM

ST. JOHNS GETS UNDER WAY.
Recent Hazing Fatality Causes Change
In College Discipline.

Scholastic work at ST. Johns College
got under way last week, with every
prospect for a successful session.
The re-opening finds several changes
in the faculty and curriculum. The
faculty changes are Prof. Henry F.
Sturdy, Of Annapolis, department OF
history and political economy; Stan
wood Cobb, Dartmouth graduate, de.
partment of Englash and oratory, and
Harvey c. Mittendorf, graduate of the
Naval Academy, department of me-
chanical drawing and assistant in the
department of physics. A change IN
the official staff is that of Prof R. H.
Ridgely, secretary to the faculty in
place of Prof. G. L. Lincoln, resigned.
An important change in the college
system Is that in the department of
discipline. This department has been
re-organized at the instance of the
board of governors, the action being
due to the fatal hazing episode last
spring. Discipline is now placed in
the hands of the faculty, and the plan
provides that each member, with the
exception of the president, shall be in
charge of dormitories and formations
for "a hours at time.
