YOUNG HEROES Ar OXFORD
Many Customs and Traditions Of the
University Are Likely to Seem
Tame to Them.

The returning hero, fresh from battle
fields. will no longer rush to the
cricket fields and the river at Oxford
with the zest of young barbarians at
their play. observes a writer In he
Nation Uondon). To one who may
wear the ribbon OF the Military Gross
or the d. S. o., the position of his col
lege boat In the eIghts can no longer
seem the one matter Of life and death,
and even the halo OF goal Shines
with diminished glory.

shall he dwell upon the squabbles OF

he himself has mOtOred from Salonlki

when questioned on his fading mem
orles of the irregular verbs? Probably
most public school boys are haunted
to old age by drenm-a terrible
nlghtmare--of being put on" by the
old headmaster when they have not
taken the trouble to prepare line OF

that they are more than so and the
headmaster has long been dead. The
horror of the situation remains ap-
palllng, and the dream is far more
frequent than any of Freuds imag'

Claims PHILADELPHIA Land.

The city of Philadelphia has been
reminded, in an unexpected fashion, of
its association with William Penn. He
reserved for the Indians two small
pieces of land where they might come
in peace and build their council fires'
One of them, a patch of S5 feet by 100,
under the shadow Of the towering Ritz
Carlton hotel, is now covered with
asphalt. The other is used as stor-
age and dumping ground for odds and
ends. There has appeared an Indian
princess named No-toh-tha = which
means, in the Seneca language, Never
contented"-claimlng these reserva-
tions for the use Of her people. she
has filed her application with the In
dian Rights association, and intends, II
necessary, to invoke the aid Of the Six
Nations of New York.

Average lnteIlIqence.

There have been a number OF re-
ports about the results Of the psy-
chologlc tests in the army which are
not particularly encouraging. or
course 1t is all very well to find that
more than half of those taken in the
draft were of an average or of a
higher intelligence and that four out
of every 100 were Of a 'very superior"
Intelligence and eight to ten out of
every 100 Of superior intelligence.
This will probably average up higher
than what would be secured In any
European country, but the fly In the
ointment is the high relative percent
age of those who are "below average"
Intelligence, or of an "inferior' intelli-
cence or are "very Inferior with
several grades and degrees even below
the "very Inferior"

N.lson,s Victory Cups.

Recognition of the English silent
navy" which did so much to win the
war has come in the presentation OF
two communion cups to the Royal Ma
val Barracks church of Portsmouth,
England. These cups were used on
Nelson's flagship Victory in the battle
of Trafalgar. Thus the glory that was
England's in the earlier days joins
hands with the glory Of the present,
and the spirit Of Nelson Is linked win
the spirits of the brave men who stood
by In all the long months of the North
sea vigil. Nine years ago these cups
were given to a church In Glasgow.
The widow of the rector Of this par
ish now gives them to the navy as the
most fitting holder of the goblets'
which were made about 1900.

FAMED NEW ENGLAND FAMILY
Many Distinguished Citizens Among
the Hanks Of the Town OF
Mansfield, Conn.

At the recent celebration at Mans.
field, Conn. of the golden wedding Of
Mr. and Mrs. Henry w. Hanks. the
fact was brought out that the Hanks
family has long been known for Its
ingenuity. The first town clock known
In this country was made on Hanks
hill by Benjamin Hanks and was
placed In the Old Dutch church in
New York city In 1850. The first
brass cannon and arst bell In America
were also cast on Hanks hill.
Not only this, but the first silk mill
erected in the United States, in 1910,
still remains on the old hill. The
grandfather of Henry w. Hanks. who
was Rodney Hanks, was the first silk
manufacturer In America. The Int
ter's son, George r., father of Henry,
continued in the business. All about
the old town are evidences of famous
experiment In raising cocOons for the
industry, In the shape Of stray null
berry trees which have survived the
severe New England winters
Another interesting fact brought out
at the celebration was that although
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Hanks have five
children and four grandchildren, dur
Ing the fifty years Of their married
life there has never been n death IN
the family. When a boy, Henry Hanks
went with his parents to Illinois,
where they ran a ranch and conducted
grocery store in the years between
1858 and 1867, moving back to the an
cestral acres during the latter year.

chicaoo's Oldest Saloon.

When the dry law went into effect
and Chicago's 5000 saloons went out
of business, 1t ended the career Of
Chicago's oldest saloon which was es-
tabllshed in 1887, the same year Chi
cago was incorporated as q city. Since
that time the business has passed
through the hands of family of four
generations. Indian camps were a
common sight in Chicago in those
days. The city had about 5000 inhab-
itants; to-day there are nearly 3,OOC,-
600 persons.

MOST FRAGRANT OF FLOWERS
Baltimore Admirer Declares the Breath
Of the Lilac Stands Unmatched
for Sweetness.

When the lllacs breathe, odors Of
Araby become fetld and astrlngent In
comparison. When the lllacs breathe,
their odorous breath carries the fra
GRANGE OF the distllatIon OF a genera
tion OF life and love that they have
gathered TO themselves, where they
have bloomed by the garden wall or
against the porch pillar. The old
bome-wonderful In the ylyldness Of
it, memories and assoclatlons-ls Gre
ated by the plcturlng of beauty and
tenderness that the fragrance OF the
blossomlng lllacs brings to the mind.
One sees the path through the garden
winding down to the clump OF lilacs.
The faces Of other days are framed
in the pictures that fancy creates
through the magic Of the lilacs.
The panlcles Of bloom are In full
flower and the blooms will be hailed
with JOY by the multltudes who have
in their feelings the sentiments TO
which lllacs appeal. They are a medl'
tatlye and reflective kind Of flower.
They come so quietly in the spring.
They bloom forth so abundantly and
magnifcently. They sing their con-
cert to the airs Of April and cause the
four winds Of the heavens to become
their survivors to the Joy OF man
kind.
The lllacs are the softest and most
persuasive OF all tlnts, those Of layen-
der and purple, with some Of driven
whlteness. How wonderful their
beauty, the assembling Of the blossoms
and their disposition upon the branch !!
How full OF art How exqulsitely
Dresden is the lilac as II swings In
the breeze And every lilac bush Is
product Of years Of growth, and that
growth goes on perennlally until one

Of youth and maturity and age-passed
out Of life.-Baltlmo American.

INTRODUCES DRUG IN LUNGS
French Physicians Method Of Admin
: lstering chIoroform Said to Be
= Pronounced Success.

! A new method Of administering
chloroform. brought out In France by
DIR. Guisez, Is described In the Sclen-
tific American. The doctor no longer
applies the drug by the usual COM
press or mask placed over the mouth,
but introduces the chloroform vapor
directly into the lungs through a tube
running into the windpipe. The tube
method has already been employed
in several hundred cases, and with
great success. Besides being very
useful for operations TO be performed
on the head and neck. 1t is of great
interest because 1t never produces
nausea.
The effects of the new method VIII
serve to explain the reasons why chic
reform operations always produced
nausea when. operating by the former
method, for II appears evident that
the nausea was caused by part of
the chloroform vapors being absorbed
by the oesophagus and the stomach.

Millionaires and NickeIs.

Mr.. Tompkins meant well, but he
was not as happy as usual, when he
lauded the returned soldiers by say
ing they cared no more for their lives
when they went into battle than mil
lionaire cares for nickel. This meta
phor does not measure the heroism of
our men. Once we knew a millionaire
whose favorite expression was: "Five
cents is the interest on a dollar for a
whole year" We know others who feel
the same way.--Baltlmor SUM-
