DOLPHIN KILLS SHARK.

Galveston, Texas, July 16.-How a bottle-nosed dolphin, porpoise com monly called the sea-hog, slew a six foot shark is described by fishermen who say they witnessed the killing from the causeway which connects Galveston island with the main land. The sea-hog according to the books is "most socable and gregarious fish" but these fishermen declared there was nothing sociable about this dolphin. When the shark was with in few feet of the porpoise the fish erman saw the sea-hog charge, gray streak in the water. Itssstruck the shark squarely amidships they de- clare, ripped it open and then tore the body into pieces.

COLLEGE GIRLS
 CAREFULLY SELECTED

CRESCENT COLLEGE for girls, at Eureka Springs, Arkansas, has acquired a reputation for having an unusual student body that attracts fa- vorable attention everywhere by req son of the method employed in mak- ing up their enrolment Few girls schools have resisted the temptation to enlarge their numbers when the opportunity came to accept more. CRESCENT COLLEGE announced it's limit as 80 several years ago, and though they must decline many applications each year, they adhere to the original limit. However the CRESCENT student body has grown steadily in quality and since each year the college is more discriminating in accepting applications. Chief depen- dence is placed on the recommenda- ,tion of former students who are now living in at least. 35gdifferent. states and when any doubt exists about the desirability of new students the col lege asks it's alumnae to make inves- tigations. The large school or col lege cannot do this and it cannot give the individual counsel and instruction girls of this age should have. a
 The enrolment for session, begin ming September 19, is now being being made up. Write for catalog, View Book and further particulars.
