Tested and Proven There !s a Heap of SOlace in Being Able to Depend Upon We'll
 Earned Reputation

For months Alaskan readers have seen the constant expression of praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and cad about the good work they have done. What other remedy ever produced such convincing proof of merit?
 Anthony Miller, 4316 S. Puget Sound Ave, Tacoma, Wash, says; T had lameness across my kidneys and headaches and dizzy spells. l suffered from a constant backache when on my feet. I tried every thing. but got nothing that would remove the trouble until Doan's Kidney Pills were recommended to me. They quickly strengthened my back and removed the lameness. l was soon able to sleep well at night and got up in the morning feeling refreshed, instead of being more tired than when I went to bed"

RURAL AMERICA.
Our Country as lt Was In the Time of
 George Washington.

George Washington.
 The America of Washlngton's day was primltlvely, rncily rural. The country outnumbered the city thirty to one. It outvoted and outinfuenced the city. The country was countrifed without urban qualities or depend encies. Not even the cities themselves were cidfied Philadelphia, the great st of them all, with the finest shops, the best houses, the most extravagant people, was but a poor, small triangle of houses, with Its base on the Della ware and its apex stretching dmidly toward the west. Its people, though reputed gay and luxurious, went early to bed, rose early and were without the opportunities and distractions of modern urban life. There were no great factories, no armies of workmen. no extended commerce, no horse cars, DO omnibuses, no sharp differentiation of the city into business and residence sections. Like envious New York and aspiring Boston. Philadelphia was still  half rural.
 A great city was not desired nor even contemplated. To "the fathers" the very conception had in 1t some thing unwholesome. A city was 6 dwelling place of turbulent, impious, Ignorant mobs, of a congregation or "unproductiye" artisans, wastrels. crim- Inals, Sabbath breakers. It was a blister on the social body, a tumor which absorbed the healthy juices. The city was vaguely associated with royalties. courts. armies, beggars and tattered, insolent. rascally mobs' the country was the cradle of republican virtue and democratic simplicity. Jef- ferson. having in mind the squalid az glomerations of the old countries, con graduated America on being rural De TocQuevule in the thirties believed that the absence of a great capital city was "one of the first causes of the maintenance of Republican institu- tions."-Walter weyl in Harper's Mag aZine.

COLLEGE ADMISSION TESTS

Princeton university has just Yot- ed to fall in line next year with Harvard and Yale in cooperative action with other colleges in en- trusting supervision oi June en- trance examinations to the col lege entrance examination board. Dartmouth's recent independent ac- ton, quite the reverse of this trend, is the exception proving rule that has commended itself at last to the more conservative and indiyidualistic of the eastern col Ieges, and that if followed, here after will give a certain uniformity ana standardization to the process of admission such as some educators have long wished to see.
 Put with the new and alternative form of admission examination which some Of the colleges are trying, and which the entrance. eX- animation board enforces as well as the older form, this alignment of Princeton, Yale and Harvard with the other colleges, marks a new era of federation, and 1t solidifies the ranks of the institutions de- cliuiug to accept the certificate plan of admission and that insist or some test of a formal kind which may be said to stand for the col leges' ideals of what scholars nip should be in secondary schools.
 Broadly speaking it may be said that the outcome of the past gen eratiou's experimenting with the two methods of admission, by cer- tificate and by g special formal test carried out by the colleges singly or comparatively, has been 10 disclose merits and also defects in each plan. The future evidently Is to see something like compro- mise and also considerably more flexibility of standard to suit new conditions, especially to meet the publicly supported secondary schools and universities with their more independent and democratic ideals. It has been the imperative neees- sity ot getting recruits for their freshmen classes from the public high schools and from regIOTs of the country where the state uni yersity competition is keen that has led the older Atlantic seaboard in stitutions 10 cease holding their aIoof and severely independent pose about entrance admissions. liar wards experiment with the new method has been long enough to show two things; that it draws men now from a wider contributing area, and that students who elect the simpler and partly certified sys- tem of admission maintain an ad- mirable standard of scholarship.

 Explanation 10 a Mystery.
 There is a puzzle which may be per formed with any odd number of ob- jects, playing cards being usually em. ployed, and which any one can do, but no one seems able to explain the req son for 1t. Let us suppose the number selected to be twenty-seyen cards, al though fifteen or twenty-one would do Just as we'll
 After having them shuffled hold them in the left hand face upward and then deal them face upward one at a time h three piles so that the fourth card comes on the first and the fifth on the top of the second and so on until you have three piles of nine cards each.
 Request any person who Is watching you to make a silent note of any card he pleases, and when you have finished dealing to tell you in which pile the card lies By picking up the three piles again one at a time as before, the not ed card will reappear. Ask in which pile 1t came that time and place that pile in the middle as before.
 Upon dealing the cards into three piles for the third time note carefully the card that comes in the middle of each pile. With twenty-seven there will be nine in each pile and the fifth will be the middle card. Now, when the person who selected the card names the pile in which his card comes you will know 1t was the middle card of that pile. With this knowledge in your possession you can finish the trick tn any manner you please
