AN ATTACK OF GRIP ALWAYS LEAVEKIDNEYS IN WEAKENED CONDITION Doctors in all parts of the country have been kept busy with the epi- demic of grip which has visited so many homes. The symptoms of grip this year are often very distressing and leave the system in a run down condition, particularly the kidneys, which seem to suffer most, as almost every victim complains of lame back REBUKED THE DEAN. The Theological Student Got His Re- venge In a Few Words. Thirty years ago Alexander Schmidt was dean of the university at Dorpat, in the Russian province of Livonia. “The Bloodsmith,” as the students called him because of his researches concerning the circulation of the blood, was noted for the severity of his dis- cipline. An amusing incident is told of him by an army chaplain in the Zeitung der 10. Armee: A certain theological student once wanted to get leave from the universl- ty to attend his sister’s wedding. The dean refused the necessary permission on the ground that the reason was {00 trivial: ‘The student was greatly of- fended both because he wanted to go to the wedding and because he sus- pected that Dr. Schmidt had not be- leved that his excuse was a true one. Accordingly he was determined to get some kind of revenge. ltcluncodmtonthnhylfiatho affair he was reading St. Paul's second Jetter to Timothy when he suddenly saw a very clever way to get satisfac- tion. Laying down the Bible, he wrote to the Dorpat newspaper and’ ordered an advertisement inserted in large type that said simply. “II Tim. iv, 14-162.” - 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 me much evil; the Lord reward him ac- cording to P.

It is an excellent top dressing for the lawn and enrichment for flowers and shrubs and, mixed with a little ordinary earth, a most desirable soil for filling the window boxes and repotting plants, something bard to get in town.

MI'M Be a Nature’s Monument to Washington. Among the many monuments to Washington is the one which every visitor to the Cape Verde islands will remember as onie of the most colossal and marvelous freaks of natural sculp- ture’ In existence. Along the farther side of the harbor of San Vicente, the principal town, rises a bold ridge of dark gray volcanic rocks, the crest of which forms an exact likeness of our immortal George, seemingly lying face upward, as if in a peaceful sleep. The hero’s large, bold features, the back- ward wave of the hair, his massive shoulders and even the frill of the shirt front are all reproduced on a gigantic scale with wonderful exactness. The strange monument, sharply outlined against the deep blue of the tropical sky, is one of the first objects that meet one’s eye in approaching the island. Venus and Jupiter.
