for high honors. Miss Nellie Rob

St Louis. - Fannie, a Scotch collie,
saved the life of John G. Shafer, a
farmer and the dogs owner, and John
Shafer, father of the dogs owner, on
two different occasions in one week,
when the men were attacked by an In

In Marine, Ill.
When the father went to the barn to
feed, the bull attacked him. In trying
to get away he fell several times and
was bruised. His granddaughter, Mel
lie Shafer, arrived home from school
at that time, and she sent the collie
into the lot The dog halted the bull
and permitted the old man to escape
The next morning, when the SOL
went to the barn to feed, the bull at

Shafer, who went to the lot In hel
night clothes, taking the dog with her
for the second rescue.

HEARING but Not Listening.

Mr.. Stanley Coxon In his Indian remi-
niscences, I heard Of an amusing end
ing to q civil case. 1t was an appeal
case, and on one side was q Mr.. STAN
yon, an English barrister, and on the
other a number of native pleaders.
The arguments on both sides had been
heard, and the case closed for tudg-
ment.
Suddenly one Of the native pleaders
got up and addressed the court once
more. Mr.. Stanyon suffered It for some
time; but, losing patience, he also stood
up and, addressing the court, said,
sYour honor, I would beg with all re.
spect to point out to the court that my
learned friend opposite Is entirely out
Of order in addressing the court, and Il
I may be permitted to say so the courI
has no right to be listening to him"
The court, who at that time wa,

and said, "Mr. Stanyon, it's a grea
piece Of impertinence on your part Il

The early treatment of disease can
not be instituted properly without a
definite knowledge of the early signs
or symptoms. Guess work in any pur-
suit is to be discouraged if humanity
is to keep step with progress toward
efficiency. Since health is the principal
thing, it is obvious that guess work in
the matter of the preservation and
maintenance of health is of all errors
the most dangerous. The question then
arises: How are the people to know
the early signs and symptoms of dis
ease. The answer requires thought of
a profound character.
1t appears that the strength of the
nation lies in the health of the people.
If that be true the nation should take
q decided interest in the preservation
of the health of the people and the
maintenance of the same. Willy nilly

Music of the Church.

Nothing is palmer than the seemingly
hopeless decadence Of the music Of the
church as compared with modern pos
sibilities and realities Of musical art to-

the spirit of music left the church
since the church could hold and spir-
itually feed a great composer as 1t had
done In the preceding centuries. The
spirit Of music, emancipated from the
materialistic and puritanical influences
which overlook established religion,
brought forth the great modern art of
music, with Beethoven as its leader.

Origin of the Letter ".


The letter V may be regarded as the
mutilated remains Of one Of the sym
bols used by the ancient Egyptians In
their hieroglyphics or picture writing.
A common animal In their country was
the two horned sandviper, a represen-
tation Of which stood for v. The priests
ultimately found that for the practical
purposes Of everyday life it was a
waste Of time to use elaborate hero
glyphics and invented kind Of short
hand to meet the occasion. In this the
snake was reduced to V with a dash
w. to represent horns and body.
The Phoenicians adopted this letter,
and from them we get our V by loss of
the dash, leaving only the two little
horns of the original picture. This
snake Is still common in Egypt and is
probably the one mentioned In Genesis
Xix, II, ''Dan shall be serpent by the
way, an adder in the path, that biteth
the horse heels, 80 that his rider shall
fall backward" Travellers tell US that
It is still addicted to this unpleasant

Moyinu Picture Shows.

An observer says the reason that all
classes like motion picture plays Is
that each person puts into the mouths
Of the silent actors the EXPLANATIONS,
words and lines that he himself would
use under like circumstances.
Incidents and situations are flashed
on the screen, but the spectator tells
the unspoken story to himself, and
there is no possibility Of artificial
strained or incomprehensible dialogue
What the spectator imagines Is the
thing that Is natural to him. To one
who watches Hamlet with Yorick's
skull the words Of the play may come
"Imperious Caesar, dead and turned tt
clay, might stop a hole to keep the
wind away" To another's imagination
Hamlet says, ''Well. we all gotta come
to it."

more profoundly true? - Richmond

been unable to shave himself, fug he
Is said to have resorted to The un-

that Napoleon's was another case Of
the kind. Rogers asked Taneyrand
whether Napoleon shaved himself.
