Along the farther side of the harbor of San Vicente, the principal town, rises . bold ridge Of dark gray volcanic rocks, the crest or which forms an exact likeness ef our immortal George, seemingly lying face upward, as if in a peaceful sleep. Ths hero's large, bold features, the back ward wave of the hair, hiS massive shoulders and even tho frIl of the shirt front are all reproduced on Q gigantic scale with wonderful exactness.

The Theological Student Cos He hes
 vsnae in a Few Verde.
 Thirty years ago Alexander Schmidt was dean of the university at Dorpat, in tho Russian province of EVonia. 'The Blacksmith" as the students called him because of his researches concerning the circulation Of the blood, was noted for the severity of hts dis ciplina. An amusing incident is told of him by an army chaplain in the Zeitung der 10. Armee: .-,
 4 certain theological student once wanted to get leave from the universi- ty to attend his sisters wedding. The dean refused the necessary permission on the ground that the reason was too trivial. The student was greatly of- tended both because be wanted to so to the wedding and because he sus- pected that Dr. Schmidt had not be- neved that his excuse was e true one. Accordingly he was determined to get some kind of revenge.
 It chanced that on the day after the affair he was reading St PauTs second letter to Timothy when hS suddenly saw a very clever way to get satisfac' ton. Laying down the Bible, he wrote to the Dorpat newspaper and ordered an advertisement inserted fin large type that said simply, "II Tim. iV' 14-16a."
 Every reader of the paper, surprised by that line, reached for his Bible and looked up the verses. Imagine the amusement of the university students when they found that the passage was' Alexander, the coppersmith, did mo much evil; the Lord reward him ac- cording to his works; of whom Be thou ware also"

BURNING THE LEAVES,
A FooIIsh Wasts of What Might HS e
 Valuable Fertilizer

Valuable f0rtlliSors
 Many tons of valuable fertilizer are wasted every year through our practice of raking the fallen leaves from lawns and parks into the street and burning them. We destroy one of the best of natures fertilizers, that on which she relies for the renewal of the vegetable humus in the soil
 All natures protection is removed In the interest of tidiness, Then we won der why lawns must Do So frequently resodded and why grass seed wont catch.n The fallen leaves protect tho roots of grass and shrubs from the freezing and thawing of winter and, deposited in 6 corner of the back yard with little earth thrown over them to prevent their blowing away, tn year or two are converted into what the forester calls "duH," an organic ma terisl which makes tho loam that grows the farmers best crops
 It is an excellent top dressing for the lawn and enrichment for flowers and shrubs and, mixed with little ordinary earth, 6 most desirable soil for filling the window boxes and rspotting plants, something hard to get fin town. It is invaluable to the amateur gardener who utilizes his back yard, and yet it is almost invariably wasted. We pay thousands of dollars every year for phosphates and nitrateS and overlook this valuable product of naturss labor atory.-Detroit Free PresS

WILD ANIMAL SHIPMENTS

Yellowstone National Park is growing in importance as a ,propa- gating and distributing center for certain kinds of wild animals. Dur ing February last 55 elk, 13 of which were bulls, were shipped to points in four states-Idaho, 1lli- nois, Texas, and Minnesota. The Yellowstone contains more wild ami mals in a state of nature than any other preserve in the world. It is the policy of the Department of the Interior to part with super nous elk, male buffalo, beaver and bear to Federal, State, county and municipal authorities, for ex- hibition and propagation, where laws exist which will properly pro tect them.

business thoroughfare and running
back $50 feet to the alley In the rear.

pany larger and more conspicuous
quarters, but will make II easily nc

allow the patrons of both houses to
transact their business with the great
est convenience.
