Men wonder at "what they do not
understand, but a seeming marvel
often becomes absurdly simple when
It. .-is explained. Many years ago s
schoolmaster, In the course of Ills
travels, had occasion to stay for a day
or two at a country travern. As he
sat in the public room with a dozen
other persons, evidently natives of the
place, there came along a man with a
fat hog that he was driving to market.
Leaving the animal outside, he en-
tered the Inn and Joined the little
company. Several of the latter went
to the window to look- at the hog.
“That’s a fine pig you've got there,
neighbor," remarked one. “Do you
know what he’ll weigh?" •
“Yes, sir,” returned the pig’s owner.
“I had him on the scales just before
I started out. What do you guess he’ll
weigh?”
The questioner, thus questioned In
The outposts brought In as prisoner
to the camp a Turkish girl who want-
ed to see a Bulgarian general. The
conversation which followed between
the general and the girl, who could
not have been more than sixteen
years old, afforded a pretty proot, of
her mother wit and courage. After
looking at the pretty girl with a smile
of pleasure, the general said:
“What are the Turks doing now In
their position?”
"Impatiently expecting you,” was
the reply.
“Well, bjit what do you want to do
here?"
“I don’t want to do anything here;
I want to do everything for the
Turks.”
"Do you know how many Turks
there are In the neighborhood?"

Lister'Methods.
A Recent number of the London Lam
oet gives an Interesting account of the
life of Lister, the great surgeon, whe
discovered the aseptic precautions ta
be taken after surgical operations.
Lister, much like Harvey, who proved
the theory of the circulation of the
blood, was a careful and oonsctea>
tlous man who avoided print until he
had thoroughly proved the value of
his discovery. The great objection la
his mlnd was that he felt that jtntl
every surgeon was convinced Of'th»
necessity for asepsis and of the vain
of the methods he advocated and was
efficiently skilled In them, it would be
s serious matter to publish successful
results of operations which It- would
be practically criminal to perform un-
less complete asepsis was secured.
Lister was evidently that rare produet,
even rare In the medical profession, a
modest man. -----

made a guess. The owner turned to
the rest or the company, and said;
.‘‘Will not somebody else give a
guess? Just for the fun of It, let
everybody have a try."
The proposal met with favor. One
after another the men eyed the pig
critically, and. .after due considera-
tion, gave their estimates of his
weight. The schoolmaster, who
seemed deeply absorbed In his own
thoughts, alone took no part in the
contest. But he was not to be let
off. /f
“Say, friend,” the owner of the pig
urged, aren’t we going to hear from
you?" • ’
The pedagogue^., whp perhaps had
never in his life looked attentively at
a pig, rose, went to the window, and
gazed out at this one. He deliberated
for a moment, then, with modest res'
itation, named a certain number of
pounds.
At hearing It, the eyes and the
mouth of the pig's owner opened wide
in astonishment.
"Wal, I swan!” ,he exclaimed
"Have the Turks enough to eat?”
“lyhy, of course,” replied the merry
maiden with a-burst of laughter, "or
they would be dying of hunger."
Th§ general was at first Inclined to
be nettled at her answers, but very
soon they so tickled his sense of
humor that he took his small enemy
under his personal*—protection and
gave orders thaTthe brave partisan
of the Turks should be sent back un-
harmed to her village.—Correspond-
ence London Journal

In the midst of the success of the
Balkan arms against Turkey, the fact
must not bo lost sight of that the
brunt of the hardships will fall on the
women of the Balkans, for of all the
races In Europe, the lot of the women
of the Balkans Is probably the hardest.
As is the general rule throughout the
near east, the women Is the mainstay
of the family, usually the sole worker,
and Just now the wives and mothers of
the men of the Balkah states are pre-
paring to face a hard, cold winter.

Every one stared at the schoolmas-
ter admiringly, but no one was shrewd
enough to tell how he had been able
to make so good a guess. It had not
been a lucky hit, although he could
have done quite as well without see-
ing the pig. He knew nothing about
swine, but he knew a good deal about
figures. Having heard the guesses of
11 more or less expert Judges, he had
added together their guesses, divided
the sum by 11, and ’’guessed’’ the re-
sult.— Youth’s Companion.

A man who has nothing else to do,

task of gathering from, the comic'pa-

which appear to be the favorite
themes of humor in each country.
Here Is a brief summary of the re-
sult:
The Germans’ pet ticklers are: A
professor who forgets bJa umbrella;
a college student who drinks beer and
“touches” a friend for a loan; the
misses who worship army officers, a
husband without the front door key;
the cook's lover, usually a soldier, hid-
den in the kitchen; mother-in-law.

descriptions) * boys who are afraid of
getting nixed up with a miss and be
sued for breach of promise; an un-
lucky bettor; an unskilled golf player:

Haslng, which used to he rampant
at West Point and Annapqlls, has
been pretty well suppressed through
the energy with which It has been
combated by the federal authorities.
Under the Ufglngs of the Inquirer and
other newspapers, which detested and
denounced a brutal practice, congress
enacted legislation whose loyal and
energetlo enforcement has served to
stamp the evil out. An Instance of It
Is reported once in a while, but usual-
ly In a materially modified aqd com-
paratively unobjectionable form, and
the convicted offender is punished
wlfhout any demoralizing Indulgence.
This Is a gratifying reform for whose
consummation President Taft de-
serves a large measure of credit.
At other than the two colleges con-
ducted by the government hazing con-
tinues to a greater or less extent, and
with a varying measure of severity,
and within the past few days cases
have been reported In which one
young "man died from the effects of
his comrades’ Ill-treatment, while an-
other youth was so seriously Injured
that his life is endangered. This In-
dicates an unsatisfactory situation. Ik
shows tbtf continued existence of an
evil which needs to be eradicated and
demonstrates the necessity for some
remedial action sufficiently drastic
to be effectively restrictive and ad-
monitory. Would-be faazers must be
frightened into good behavior.—Phila-
delphia Inquirer.
