“Since we have been without

An ETcIucafibn From a NTcReTi
A young girl who lived In Mississip
pi asked her brother to give her the
money to go to college. He told her
he could no£ afford it and, tossing her
a nickel, added, "Unless you can go on
that."
The plucky girl took the five cent
piece and bought some calico, from
which she made a bonnet that she sold
for 25 cents. With this money she
bought more calico and made more
bonnets. After she had made several
dollars in tills way she determined to
raise potatoes. She did all the work
in tile field except the plowing. The
venture was a success, and she had
enough money to start at school. She
did not stop work, however, and It is
not surprising tlait a girl of so much
determination was able to borrow
enough money to supplement what she
made.
She was graduated with honor from
the State College For Women, attend
ed a medical school, still earning all
her expenses, got her degree and is
now a successful practicing physician
in a large town in the south, and it
all began with a nickel!—Youth’s Com
panion.
Curious Ways of the Papuans.
In the Girara country, I’apua. a dis
trict of New Guinea, where the coun
try is almost entirely submerged, the
natives are said to claim descent from
the dog. They possess five totems,
which are drawn on all their houses.
Their villages are erected on hillocks
so as to bo clear of the water, and the
people of each village inhabit one large
common house, sometimes as much as
four to five hundred feet long and six
ty to eighty feet in width. The center
of this huge building Is a kind of com
mon ball, which is used only by tile
men, while the walls of the structure
are divided into cubicles in three or
four floors, access to which is gained
by means of ladders. The women are
not allowed to enter the building by
the same door ns the men. A great
deni of sorcery prevails in the western
division. In the wilder parts of the
country the chief is himself a head
sorcerer. He claims to lie able to sep
arate liis spirit from his body and to
send it on various missions, including
that of killing people.—Argonaut.
The Savannah River.
No one will take seriously the sug
gestion of a correspondent of the At
lantn Constitution that there is a
"legend" to the effect that the Savan
nah river was so named because an
Indian chief asked somebody to “Save
Anna.” his daughter, who had fallen
from a boat Into the river. Hut the re
currence of the puerile Joke In the
form of the suggestion gives occasion
to say that the word "savannah" is a
very old one. and philologists tracing
it to ils origin go buck to ancient
Greek through old Spanish The Eng
lisli meaning of the word, spelled with
out the final "h,” Is a tract of level
land covered with vegetation, usually
grass or reeds, and void of trees or
with trees occurring only occasion
ally. From the savannas along Its
banks the river was named. In the
level, grassy savanna is observed some
resemblance to a “sheet,” which was
one meaning of the word In Greek
Also It meant a towel.—Savannah
News
Turkish Baths.
The proper way to take a Turkish
bath is to devote plenty of time to the
process. On entering stay in the first
room, the moderately hot one, until all
feeling of oppression has passed off
Then move on into the second, the hot
room, as it is called. The third one,
called tlie oven, should seldom be used,
as the heat is too intense to be safe. It
is host to lie content with a mild per
spiration at first and to stay in too
short a time rather than too long
People are apt to think that the more
they perspire the better they will be.
but that is not the case. and. what Is
more, there is an element of danger in
prolonging the process. Taken quiet
ly and with discrimination. Turkish
baths are one of the greatest boons to
suffering humanity.—New York Tele
gram.
Vicious.
Molly—So you are really engaged at
last? I'm awfully glad to bear It,

the hand of the sorriest instrument.—
