Would roach Youth to ThInk.

To teach people to think, DIR. G. A.
Mercler Of Dournemouth left 100000
to be used to found chair Of nation
al logic and scientific method at one Of
the universities. Among the condi-
lions imposed are clauses directing
that: Students are not to be taught
what Aristotle or anyone else thought
about reasoning, but to think and rea-
son clearly for themselves. The pro-
fessor is not to be chosen for his
knowledge Of the work or opinions Of
other logicians, but for his capacity
to think and to reason and to teach.
In selecting the professor preference
is to be given to the candidate who
does not know either Greek or Ger
man and, in any case, when appoint
ed, such professor is not to devote
more than one-twelfth Of his teaching
time In teaching the logic Of Aristotle
and the schools, nor more than one
twenty-fourth in teaching the logic Of
Hegel or other GermanS.-Montreal

Friends Tell Good Story on Lawyer
Who Has Risen to High
Position in State.

Col. W. III. Holmes, state superin-
tendent Of game for the department of
conservation, was admitted to the bar
on reaching his majority. His first
case was to prove that certain mule
belonged to certain negro. He won
the case.
Subsequently in another mule case
he proved the animal belonged to an
other negro. Then he was elected dis
trict attorney, and the first case he
had to prosecute was one concerning
a mule. The mule had been stolen and
was over the line in Mississippi. He
was going to abandon the case, when
one of his former clients approached
him and said.
"Cunnel, eff 1 was you all, I'd go
after dat mule. OATS de mule been
suppohtin' you evar since you was a

And in all three cases it was the
same mule.-New Orleans Times-Pica-

New Idea In JelIy-Makinu.

In the jelly-making process patented
by NJ. o. johnson, fruit juice is con-
centrated by freezing out portion
Of It's water, and is then heated to a
temperature high enough to coagulate
suspended matter, though not high
enough to impair the flavor. After sepa-
ration of coagulated matter, the juice
is sterilized by heating to tempera-
ture below that employed for coagula-
ton, then jellitied after sugar has been
added. Sugar added before coagula-
ton may give better Qualification.

Clever Trick.

Golden sausages we're used by relief
workers to carry money In parts OF
Asia Minor where bandits are at
work. One of the best methods adopted
was the taking Of money from Con-
stantinople to the interior OF Anatolia
by extracting meat from a string OF
sausage and substituting gold. This
ruse succeeded because the robbers
are mostly Turks and have the Mos
lem adherence of the pig and Its
products. The worker in charge OF
the golden sausages was held up sew
eral times, but the hidden gold was
never touched.

r twenty-one when he and his
mother came to Thrums. All
Thrums was out in its wyndes and
closes--a few of the weavers still in
knee breaches, to look at the new
Aud LIGHT minister. L was there, the
dominic of Glen Quharity, four miles
from Thrums, and heavy was my
heart as l stood afar off so that
Gavin's mother might not have the
pain of seeing me. / alone of the
crowd looked more at her than at her
son.
Eighteen years had passed since we
parted, and already her hair had lost
its brightness, and Margaret was an
old woman at forty-three, and l, who
had loved her since / was hobblede-
hoy and shall till I die, am the man
who made her old.
Many scenes in the little minister's
life come back to me. The first time
I ever thought Of writing his love story
an old mans gift to little maid since
grown tall, was one night in the old
schoolhouse, when my gate creaked
the first time ever saw Gavin and
the Egyptian together.
Gavin was brought up to be min
lister from his earliest days, and took
to the idea enthusiastically. It had
been the dream of the two of manse,
of which Margaret was mistress, and
Gavin the minister, and now it was
fulfilled.
Gavin at once became popular in
ThrumS, and though short Of stature
he cast great shadow. He convert
ed a drunkard. Rob Dow, who adored
him, and would do anything in the
world for him.
On the fateful evening Of October
II, Gavin was returning from Rob
Dow's and going home through Caddam
woods, when he heard singing.
The singer came dancing up Windy
ghoul. Only when she passed him did
Gavin see her as gypsy elf, bare feet
flashing beneath short green skirt,
twig of rowan berries In her black
hair. She was pale with an angel
loneliness. A diamond on her finger
shot thread Of fire over a pool as she
danced by.
Undoubtedly she was the devil.
Gavin leaped after her, but as she saw
him she beckoned mockingly, then
kissed her hand, and was gone.
A moment later came the sound of
a horn. The minister was on the
alert at once, and hurried to the
Square. That horn was signal that
soldiers were marching on the village
folk to arrest some malefactors
among the weavers, who would re-
sent it.
In the Square was an uproar. It
was the gypsy who had given the warn
ing. Gavin tried to persuade the peo-
pie to dispense to save bloodshed, but
the Egyptian cried:
do not heed this little mani Save
yourselves" and they obeyed her. The
soldiers came, but caught only a few,
the real culprits escaping. The Egyp-
tan was Ocaught, but escaped the
officers, first through clever ruse, and
again through impudently pretending
she was Gavin's wife
