Yes, the first few days We spent
at the S. S. Lutheran Normal which
was held in the; Holland Hall OF the
Newberry college from the II to the

it was just pity for so many OF our

LEMON IMPORTANT FIRST AID
Are Declared to Be of Medicinal
and Hygienic Character.

If the testimony of the Sicilian
citrus chamber is given due consid-
Grafton in determining the status of
a lemon, it deserves an important
place in the list of first aids. Ac-
cording to the authority mentioned,
the lemon aids are chiefly medicinal
and hygienic. Its juice is of value
in treating diphtheria and govt. For
ordinary colds it is a great specific.
1t will cure slight wounds and chill
blains. The JUICE of several lemons
taken every day will prove an anti
dote for diabetes; small slices ap-
piled to corns will ease the pain.
: AS a cleansing agent and beauti-
fer, the reputation of the lemon
scars still higher. The juice whitens
the hands, improves the complexion,
helps, if anything can, to remove
freckles. In the culinary depart
ment it ranks with salt and sugar in
general usefulness, and as furni-
ture polish its oil is beyond reproach.

MESSAGES FROM THE SPIRITS
There Are Many Men Of international
Fame Who Believe Communication
With Dead Is Possible.

A writer in the New York Medi-
cal Record shows that whatever
might have been the views of scien-
lists preceding the nineteenth and
this part of the twentieth century
on the authenticity of surviving I'M
corporal consciousness after physi-
cal death and interment, and inter-
communication between the living
and the dead, there are many of in
ternational fame who believe in
these communications.
Among these he mentions Sir
Oliver Lodge, born in 1851, who in
recent years has expressed his con-
viction that communication with
!disembodied spirits is possible; Sir
William Crookes, the eminent
scientist, born in 1852, who has
found time to delve into the mys-
teries of spirit colloquy and has in
dicated his belief in the reality of
occult phenomena; Sir William
Fletcher Barrett, born in 1874, who
affirms his trust in the genuineness
of some spiritualistic demonstra-
tions; Camille Flammarion, the
French astronomer, born in 1912,
and Cesare Lombroso, the Italian
criminologist, who died eight years
ago at the age of seventy-three.
The late Alfred Russell Wallace,
joint discoverer with Darwin of the
Evolution of the Species" who died
four years ago at the age of ninety,
was an advocate of the belief that
messages may be reciprocally ex-
changed with spirits of the departed.

TOO MUCH BlRDOLoGY HERE
To Be Written Up as Bird Was Bad
Enough, But Mrs. Parrot Objected
to Final Insult.

Some years ago Carl Crow, author
of Japan and America" was cub
reporter on a Texas newspaper, one
of his duties being to cover the police
stations, says the Pittsburgh Chron-
icle-Telegraph. One day, just before
press time, he made his usual trip to
see the desk sergeant.
"Have'a great story for you," said
the sergeant. eve arrested parrot
out on Front street a while ago on a
charge of using abusive language.
The neighbors complained so much
We had to go out and lock the old
bird up"
After getting a few more details
Crow rushed back to the office and
wrote a funny story about the arrest
of the bird. He was congratulating
himself on landing story on the
first page, an hour or so after the
paper got on the streets, when the
telephone bell rang and he had to
listen to a torrent of abuse from an
irate lady at the other end of the
line. 1t developed that she was Mrs.
Parrot and she had been arrested for
using abusive language, but she Bit
terly resented being written up as a
bird. After she had exhausted her
vocabulary and was preparing for
new start, she asked:
"What is your name? ?"
"Crow," said the reporter.
"What did you say?"
81 said my name was Crow"
"You think you are blamed smart,
don't you?" said the freshly insulted
Mrs. Parrot as she hung up the re-
ceiver.

NEW MINERS LAMP.

The new form of miners lamp IA
vored by the United States bureau of
mines is a steel shell containing a re-
Hector and bulb of half a candle
power. This weighs only four ounces,
and is carried in the usual way on
the miners cap, a rubber-covered
copper cable connecting with the
pocket battery, A case of steel or
aluminium gives protection to the
dry cells, the total battery weight be-
ing somewhat over four pounds. The
apparatus is waterproof, and no gas
is generated by the battery to give
risk of ignition.

far above her humble family in the

She came to a dead standstiIl, her

There is no time to discuss this,

you of the truth of what say"

The man skunk away like a beaten
cur. Once again Evans saw Lilias
Deane. It was in the little park near
her home. They sat on bench en-
gagged in conversation for over an
hour. Evans disclosed all that he
had learned of Willard, and Lilias
was shocked, appalled,, and then the
tears of gratitude came into her eyes
as she realized what this disinterest-
ed friend had saved her from.
"Oh, never, never will forget your
kind care for me-" she sobbed.
Wherever you are l shall think of
you and pray that the greatest good

kissed his hand and watched him go
away, and took up the old home du-

counted how narrowly she had es-
capped the wiIes of the heartless ad-
venturer.

been sent to his former home. A

And never Lilias forget him! That
last interview with him had left with
her an impression of almost adOra-

personal suffering, had paused to do
her a vast service.
His memory became to her an
ideal. To her, though dead, he was
more than any other man living.
Every week she would visit the little

wreath of the choicest wild flowers
and place them upon the little
