versity Of Nebraska.
DR.. WINSHIP IS ORATOR

tFrom STAFF Correspondent.)
Lincoln, July 29.-(Special. 1.-THE
largest summer class in the history
of the University of Nebraska was
given degrees here last night at the
commencement exercises.
One hundred and twenty-six de-
grees were granted, including forty
four bachelors of arts, eight bachelors
of science, twenty-nine master of arts
and one bachelor OF fine arts.
Dr.. Albert Winship of Boston was
the commencement orator with "Edu-
cation Must Educate" for his topic.
The board of regents held a short
session after granting the degrees,
but found it could not award the con-
tract for the new agricultural engi-
neering building at the state farm
because of the price of material. War
prices have practically put a stop to
building activities under the extension
fund, the cost of structural steel be-
ing nearly prohibitive. A few
changes were made in the faculty.
Following is the list Of graduates:

Saving the Suffx.

Rex Beach tells how in the early
days of the gold excitement in Alaska
there came a young German from Illi-
nois who, after prospecting for awhile.
settled in Sitka.
His name was Henry F. Almondin-
ger, and, wishing to Americanize him.
self as much as possible, he applied to
the proper authority for permission to
change his name to Henry E. Almond.
A few days later man named John
Smith applied to the same authority,
and, after reciting a long catalogue OF
the ills to which he was subject owing
to his unfortunately common name, he
said in conclusion:
"And whereas l have noticed that
you have curtailed the name Of Henry
E. Almondinger to II. f. Almond and.
have not disposed Of the niger which
seems to be, lying around loose, re-
spectfully request that the same may
be added to my name."-Chicago Trib-

P5sthumous Influence.

The relations between man and man
cease not with life. The dead leave
behind them their memory, their exam
pie and the effects of their actions.
Their influence still abides with US;
their names and character dwell in our
thoughts and hearts; we live and COM
mune with them in their writings; we
enjoy the benefits of their labors; our
institutions have been founded by
them; we are surrounded by the works
of the dead; our knowledge and our
arts are the fruits of their toll; our
minds have been formed by their in
structions; we are most intimately con-
nected with them by a thousand de-
Tendencies. Those whom we have low
ed in life are still objects Of our deep
est and hottest affections. Their pow
er over us remains.-Andrews Norton.

sNAILs AS FOOD.

They Are as Nourishing as Calls Foot
Jelly and Easy to Raise.
~All snails are edible and nutritious"
saws Canon Horsley in book on Brit
ish land and fresh water mollusks.
He goes on to say that even the COM
mon or garden snail, though insipid, is
as nourishing as calf's foot jelly.
There is a large white shelled snail
called Helix pomatia that is common
ly eaten by connoisseurs in the south
of England, while all over France, It
aly and Spain several species are used
as food. In France there are many
snail farms which yield a good profit
to their owners. In the French ana
italian quarters of New York snails
may be brought either alive or cooked,
and at most Of the French restaurants
they are served, "escargOts farcis' be-
inc the most usual form of the dish.
Snails are easy to raise in large guam
titles. They need lime for making
their shells, but they do not have to
be fed, as they can find their own food,
which is exclusively the leaves OF
many plants. They are most delicious
when properly prepared and cooked
and, as Canon Horsley says, as nour-
ishing as calf's foot jelly.

FUN AND THE DRAMA.
Has the Public Turned Away From the
Classics of the Theater?

Wherever they come into competi-
ton in the American theater today
tragedy yields to comedy and melodra-
ma to farce. Even in the movies fun
must have sway or the public COM
plains.
That once great public of theater 60
ers who sat through and applauded the
woes and emotions, the loves and sor-
rows and desperate adventures of the
heroes and heroines of the legitimate
drama. who loved acting for its own
sake and gloried in the sonorous ca
dences Of the great folk Of the stage,
seem now agreed that no theatrical at
traction is a good show unless it hands
them a laugh"
Real plays nowadays are launche' in
small theaters. Here foregather a few
Of the old guard, devotees of the an
cient and honorable art of acting, few
students of dramatic literature, hun
dred Of the elect drawn from the mil
lions of the largest cities-like an old
family Of aristocrats who have seen
better days. But the masses do not
want the literature, the art, the class
les of the theater.
To stir the imagination, to touch the
heart, to stimulate thought, to put wis
dom and heroism into contact with
r1ankind-all of these old and earnest
motives of the theater have passed or
are passing into the dim and dusty
property ROOM"
To be amused, to be jolted out Of all
serious thought, to be distracted from
every hard facet Of life-that is what
the show going public Of America
wants now. That is what the stage is
now for. It is to laugh.-Minneapolis

AK Head Money.

In olden times money was sometimes
made in the shape of ak heads. So
that if a man wished to buy house
he would offer for it so many gold
axes, SO many silver axes and SO many
bronze axes. just as we today dead
with gold, silver and copper money.
DR.. Schliemann found many Of these
silver axes in the ruins of Troy, and
bronze ak heads have been found in
many old ruins. After the ak head
had disappeared as actual money the
memory Of it was preserved in the
coins of Tenedos, which bore the figure
of an ak head. DR.. Cote also suggest

Achan stole from the spoils of Jericho

had him stoned to death was a speci-

anand of hapsbura Castle.

According to legend, the ancient cas-
tie of Hapsburg, overlooking the Rhine,
was founded in 1920 and was without
surrounding walls for defensive pur-
poses. a strange omission in those war
like days. A friend coming to stay at
the castle SO greatly deplored the alb
sence of the usual defenses that its
lord declared that before sunrise on
the following morning his stronghold
would be surrounded by impregnable
walls. Naturally the visitor smiled
and did not believe that this thing
could come to pass, but in the early
morning he was awakened by the lord
of the castle, who babe him look out
upon the walls. He had kept his prom
Use, but in an unexpected way. In
stead of seeing a surrounding wall
made of stone, the visitor saw an I'M
broken circle of the lords followers,
all in their armor and bearing weap-
ons. And it has since been the boast
Of the Hapsburgs that the family's de-
voted subjects were sufficient defense
in no matter what emergency.

Effect Of Cold on the Senses.

An explorer who took part in an ant
arctic expedition states that the most
remarkable effect of the cold which he
noticed was the loss Of sense and touch
in the fingers. It was almost complete
Suppose you wanted to look for a
knife in your kit bag You would put
your hand in and feel round for it, and
you would actually have it in your
hand and not know. 1t was the same
with everything we handled. We saw
that we picked it up and saw that we
held the article; we could not feel that
we had it."
He added that it was not possible to
shave, because the skin became irri-
tated and sore, while if the beard be-
came too long it became moist and
then froze into block. The only thing
to do was to keep the beard and mus
tache clipped close.

A CURIOUS ANIMAL.
The Sea Cow Gave Rise to the Legend
of the Sirens.

The Sea Cow Gave Rise to the Legend
of the Sirens.
The dugong, or sea cow, is "a Pc
culiar animal. 1t resembles the IA
miliar seal, but it has no hair on the
body and is more nearly related to the
porpOiSes and whales.
This animal is found on the shores
Of the Indian ocean, about fifteen de-
grees on each side of the equator from
East Africa to Australia, and also in
the Red sea. 1t is a marine animal
which never ascends the rivers, it's
food consisting chiefly Of seaweed and
the algae found in the water. Years
ago it was reported to have been found
in large herds of several hundred in
dividuals and to have been so fearless
rs to allow itself to be touched with
the hand of man. In recent years,
however, it is met with only in twos
and threes and has become very shy
and wary. Its flesh has been regard
ed as delicacy, and it is stated that
the Malay kings claim as royal proper
ty all those taken within their domain
Its habit Of raising its round head
out of the water and it's great affec-
ton for it's young, which it carries un-
der the fore fin, are thought to have
given rise to the legend of the mer-
maid, in allusion to which the name
sirenia was given to this order of
mammals. 1t is recorded that it was
with the skin of the dugong. or sea
cow, that the Jews were directed to
veil the tabernacle and not with bad
ger'' skins, as translated in the au-
thorized version of the Bible.-New

Pneumatic scenery and stage settings

them more realistic and at the same
time conserve the possibleness and

This is made Of a rubberized fabric

the result that they appear very real

THE IRON MAIDEN.
Her Dread Embrace Meant Cruel and
Certain Death.


Certain Death.
In an ancient tower at Nuremberg a
strange figure is shown to visitors. 1t
is called the Eiserne Jungfrau Qron
Maiden) because it looks like a woman
dressed in rusty iron. At about the
waist are two handles by means of
which the front of the figure is opened
on hinges, like two doors, from the
chin down, leaving the face unsep-
arated.
The heavy and massive doors bristIe
inside with spikes as sharp as dag
gers. about twenty Of which point in
ward toward the chest and two of
which, longer than the others, are fixed
inside the face behind the eyes.
The Eiserne Jungfrau was an instru-
ment of execution reserved for shame
less women. When one of these was
condemned to death she was placed in
side the figure, and the doors were
closed. This forced the spikes into her
vital organs and through her eyes into
her brain. Death was quick or slow,
according to the speed with which the
doors were closed
The base of the figure is a trapdoor.
When the doors were opened and the
victim freed from the spikes the trap
door was sprung and her body dropped
through deep hole into torrent that
still flows under the castle. A tip Of
few pfennigs viii have the hole lighted
with electric lamps, and the visitor can
look down and see the dark water,
thus completing the tragedy in his inn
