THE ART oF MoRWAY.

lt Reflects the Early Peasant and the
 National Character.
 Long before the art of painting was practiced in Norway the Norwegian peasant, like his Magyar contempo- rary, had developed an art that was and still remaifls thoroughly national. The Norwegian peasant art, like 8hat of other countries, is characterized by primitive purity of color that antiei- pates the art of today and forms, so to present to the past. If we remember early peasant art we shall perhaps bet ter understand contemporarg sNorwe- gian art hs1AaiNfR
 TemperamentaHy they are the same We find in both Ehe same charaeterls- tic forthrightness of expression, the same bold, uncompromtsihg design and color Moreover. both are alike in that the aim. of each is to fll given space with a design that will form 2 decora- ton. Much of modern art is in this direction, and contemporary Norwe- gian art is no exception to this.
 If this art appears somewhat rough and crude, more forcefu1 and original than polished and tngratiating, it is the fauh. of the national character rather than of the art itself We are not a suaye people; we are somewhat blunt and direct, and these racial qualities are expressing themselves more and more in our art as it gradually enamel pates itself from foreign influences and returns to it's basic. character.-I, NIL sen Laurvik in Century.

 He was a fine sight, as he was re- vealed by the fashes-the upright pose, the rain streaming from his glistening body, the flicker of his metal orna7 ments.

DEATHWATCH BEETLES.
Their uneanny Ticking and Their Trick
 of Playing Dead.

 of Playing Dead.
 You've probably heard the death watch beetle oftener than you've seen him. He hides away in. furniture or interior woodwork and keeps up a continual s'ticlz-tick-ti -tick' like a watch. Day or night you'll hear him pounding away. He's eternally persistent about it and ghostlike and uncanny, hence his name
 He makes the little ticking noise with his head, pounding it on the wood. It's the way he has of calling his mate. and his mate answers him in turn. If you pound on the wood where he is hiding he'll answer you just like he does his mate.
 You may wonder how he finds his way inside a piece of furniture. He gets there when he's in the grub or laEva state, boring his way through wood, paper or anything the grub can eat. The larva which eats it's way through the leaves of a book is a cousin.
 The deathwatch beetle has another trick besides that one of calling his mate by pounding his head on wood When you touch one of the little crea- lures he folds his legs up beneath bis body and makes believe he's dead He will keep on playing possum even if you put him close enough to fire to roast thim.-PhiIadelphi North Amer ioan

The Word Calico.

The word ''calfco'' has a queer ori- gin. Many centuries ago the first mon arch of. the province of Malabar, in Hindustan. gave to one of his chiefs as a reward for distinguished services his sword and all the land within the limit of which cock growing at a cer- tain temple could be heard. From this circumstance the little town which grew up in the center of this territory was called Calicoda, or s+the cock crow ing.'' Afterward it was called Calicut, and from this place the first cotton goods were imported into England bearing the word calico.

DIVISION OF NUMBERS.

Rules That Will Simplify Some Exam
 pIes In Arithmetic.
 It is often convenient to know wheth CT a given number is divisible by an other without going through the usual process of division. Almost every one knows that however large a number may be, it is divisible by if the last ligit is or o. The following gives the ..ule for some other numbers:
 A number is dtvistble by 2 when the lst digit is divisib1e by 2; by 8 when 1e sum of the dfgits is divisible by g.; y 4 when the number represented by he last two digits is dtviSible by 4; by when the number ends in 5 or o; by when it is dixisible by 2 and also by
 by 8 when the number represented
 the last three digits is dtvisibIe by
 by when the sum of the digits is visible by 9.
 For example, the number -1728 is di- .1sible by ?, because its last digit. 8, is divisible by ?; by 4, because 2S is divis- fble by 4, and by S. because FPS is divis- ible by S. It is also divisible by and by 9, for the sum of it's digits total IS, a number divisible by 3 and by 9. Since it is divisible by and by 8, it is also divisible by 6.
 To find whether number is divisible by you must go through the usual process of division.-Youth's Compan- ion

Some of its commonest symptoms

A HOMEMADE PAPER.
THURSDAY, MAR. o. 1916

Our Republican friends took
great pleasure last year in calling
attention to the Democrtic con.
yentiOn at Louisville when Sena.
Tor Beckham upset the spirit of
harmony by his remarks, but we
notice that they are keeping
pretty quiet about the ''ructions"
that occurred at their own con-
ventions lately. The negro vote
was the cause of the trouble there
as the So 600 negro voters of the
State were OILY allowed one rep
resentative with half q vote, for
the National Convention at Chi
Cage next June. The negroes
clammored for a full vote, and
when il was refused, threatened
repiisals at the election. Edwin
p. Morrow, he whom the negroes
81 nearly elected last fall, got
very dramatic during the course
Of the convention, and offered TO
stay at hume aud allow a negro
to 20 in his place to the cOnven.
ton. His sacrifice was not al.
lowed, however, by other mem.
bers of the party. The question
is. what will the negroes do? The
Democrats have no claim on
them. and If they refuse to vote
the Republican ticket they will
be like Teddy, without II party,
and may have to start one of
THAR own.

A. c. FRESHIES and
SOPHS PLAY NOV. 6
Annual Event That Overshadows
Everything Else With Underclass
Men, is Dated.

One of the most interesting foot
ball games Of the season will be
played on Dacotah field, November 6,
when the annual A. c. freshman
Sophomore game will be staged. This
is a more desirable way of showing
the superiority of one class over the
other in that there are not the great
odds which characterized some of the
contests between these rivals.
A ruling has been made to the eff
feet that ANY person engaging in
this contest shall have been in train
ing for three weeks before the game.
This rule has been made in order
that the members of the opposing
teams shall have an opportunity to
derive more benefit from the game.
Training means getting to bed some
time before morning, striking off cake
and pie from the menu, abstinence
from the use of tobacco in all it's
forms, and above all the getting out
of the field every night in order to
become hardened to the strenuous
work which meets the football player.

Big CHANGES
IN LINEUP OF
THE VARSITY
Radical Shifts Contemplated
in Game With the Min
nesota Team

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 12.-As a
result Of the showing made against
st. Thomas last week, the probabili-
ties are that the North Dakota foot
ball team will sart against Minnesota
with a much changed lineup next Sat
urday.
Hanson, the former Shattuck line
man who worked we'll against ST
Thomas, has been placed at center
and Mann has been switched over to
left tackle. BoyCe, who has been play
ing that tackle. has been showed into
the guard on that side and on the
other Gill has put Campbell. Berlin,
who has heretofore been playing in
the back field, has been put on end.
That is the place he played on the
Minnesota freshman team and he
ought to make good there. He is not
needed particularly in the back field
those positions now that Murray Is in
school.
Wants Murray as Back.
The coach believes that he could
put Murray out at end and he would
solve the problem, but he wants the
smashing back behind the line when
few feet are needed.
Gill has uncovered a new punter in
the person of Sterner. The former
st. Thomas back boots them far and
high and although he is being used
with the second team, the coach had
him following the varsity later in the
afternoon learning the signals.
Whitson Reports.
Whitson reported yesterday. He
looks mighty good and if he can get
an incomplete off his scholastic rec
ords, will undoubtedly be taken along
on the Minnesota trip.
