WOMEN DENTISTS POPULAR. They Prosper in Germany, University Report Shows. University of Berlin authorities recently instituted an inquiry as tc the progress and prospects of women in the profession, as illustrated by ' German university diplomas, says a Viorl in ermr>iQ1 i/^1 nil The most prosperous professions, judging from the replies, are apparently the medical and dental. In January, 1912, there were in Germany 172 certified women doctors. From 1869 to 1909 45 German women had taken American dental course, but in the decade ending in 1912 60 took German courses and obtained the official German license. All replies showed that professional prospects were very satisfactory, and apparently there is an opening for more. On the contrary, there are fewer opening and unsatisfactory \ prospects for women taking jurist or national economic courses. Only 23 appear to be in positions where they are definitely utilizing their diplomas. CALVES OUTGREW THE BARN. Structure Will Have to be Torn Apart to Let Them Out. A year ago a prize Jersey cow belonging to Gustave Horne gave birth to a pair of twins, says a Livingston, N. J., dispatch. The farmer had planned to sell them, but Gustave, Jr.. became so infatuated with the double addition to the herd that he prevailed upon his father to keep them. A small concrete barn was constructed apart from the other barns, as the lad wanted to have his own small herd in separate barns where he could take entire charge of them without interference. Everything went along splendidly. The cows, which were stalled and never let out to graze, waxed fat under the generous care of the juvenile farmer. The Homes sold their farm and all their stock last week with the exception of the two yearlings. The family is planning to move to New York State and young Gustave wanted to take the cows with him. But the cows have grown so fat that when an effort was made to take them out of the barn it was found that the door ^ f VIA AAT\ was LOO small, A MUC UI t.uc wu crete barn will have to be removed in order to get them out, which will destroy the neat little structure, or the cows will have to remain there until they get thinner. Young Home says he will tear the barn down if he has to in order to take his twin cows with him. J. B. JETER IN TROBULE AGAIN. First Man Pardoned by Blease Back in Clutches of Law. Lexington, June 23.?It seems that Jacob B. Jeter, the white man charged with assault and battery with intent to kill, and whose trial was continued at the last term of court upon motion of the defense, and bail granted by Judge DeVore in the sum of $500, is destined to remain in jail until the September term of ' court. Several days ago D. B. Busby, of Monetta, an uncle by marriage 01 Jeter, and Mrs. Shealy, a sister of the accused, came to Lexington for the purpose of arranging bail, but when they learned that Solicitor George Bell Timmerman, in accordance with the presentment of the grand jury, had issued another warrant for Jeter, charging him with selling liquor, they would -not agree to go on the bond in either case. Jeter has had an interesting career. Several years ago he killed a man on the streets of Union, was tried and convicted, and was sentenced to a life term in the penitentiary. When Cole L. Blease became governor Jeter was the first man to receive a full pardon, He came back to this county, where his mother and sister reside, at Swansea. He is said to have taken a number of valuables belonging to his rela tives, and they issued a warrant foi his arrest. The alleged stolen articles were recovered by the sheriff from several places in Columbia, and Jeter, agreeing never to go back tc his mother's home again, the charges were withdrawn. A few7 months- ago, while in a drunken rage, Jeter attempted to shoot the chief of police of Swransea and two other men whc went to the chief's assistance. Id the meantime Jeter was shot in the legs, and he was carried to a hospital in Columbia for treatment. After he had been there for several weeks Jeter asked permission to take a little walk on the street. Upon being refused, it is said that Jeter slipped away and went to the depot, where he boarded a train for Sally. At Sally he hired a horse and buggy and drove to the home of his brother-inlaw, several miles distant, and was arranging to go to Savannah, it is claimed, when Sheriff Miller effected his arrest.

' Some of Them Fly Faster Than an Express Train. i The problem of hew small birds ) were able to manage long flights from i other countries exercised the minds - of the naturalists for centuries. The t first man to collect accurate information on the subject was the late Herr , Gatke. Living on the little island of Heligoland, in the direct route of migration, and entirely devoted to his i subject, says a writer in the Strand, he was able to verify for himself l many facts which had until then es1 caped notice. t For instance he pointed out that birds on migration often flew very high?probably as much as 12,000 - feet (over two miles) above the , ground. That they do fly at a great ; height has been corroborated by ass tronomers, who have seen birds flyr ing across the face of the moon at a height not less than one mile. : Gatke's ideas on speed were prob ably exaggerated, but only by a the orv of a tremendously swift flight at a high altitude could he account for the fact that certain birds were never, or rarely, seen in the coun tries between their winter and sum' mer quarters. For instance, he pointed out that the blue throat, which winters in Africa and breeds in Scandinavia, is but rarely met with in any of the countries on the line of ' route?Italy, Greece, Southern Germany. When they arrived in Heligoland, 1 they came in large flocks and were 1 tired and exhausted; also they always arrived at the same hour?somewhat late in the morning. He thought it probable that they left Africa at dusk the previous evening, and flying at the rate of 180 miles an hour would be able to reach Heligoland in the one flight. Between 1880 and 1887 the British association granted some money ' to a special committee for the study of migration, and by means of schedules much information was collected about the birds that are killed annually at coast lights. Although many facts were thus obtained, the observations in this respect are almost entirely dependent on weather condi! tions. In fact, it may be said, that the only migration that can be actually seen is that which has partially failed, for it is only when delayed or held back by storms or fog that birds 1 obviously on passage are encountered along the coast or in other places where they are not usually found. ! In Denmark and Germany, orni' thologists have been experimenting by ringing birds and having those 1 that are caught returned to the address given on the aluminum band placed on the bird's leg. In this way the habits of migration, speed and direction of flight and other facts are discovered. Storks have given the most striking results from ringing. Without exception, all storks that have been recovered in the first au tumn after ringing had traveled in a due southeasterly direction. From Hungary to Palestine no ringing birds have been procured, but from Palestine four have returned, from Alexandria one, Blue Nile one, Victoria Nyanza one, and no fewer than seven from the Transvai al, Natal, Basutoland, etc., while of the Hungarian office no fewer than 17 birds have been reported from various lacalities in South Africa. It , is therefore practically certain that north German and Hungarian storks travel southeast to Palestine and thence due south to South Africa. It has further been proved that the majority of those obtained in spring on the return journey returned to within a few miles of their home. As regards the actual disI tance and age of some of these ring( ed birds, two of them when nine , months old were shot at about 6,000 j miles from the;r birthplace, and one young one in autumn traveled over i 200 miles in two days. There is still one point left to be . further investigated. How do birds . find their way So far as we are . aware, only one experiment has been . made on these lines. This was carI ried out by Dr. Watson, an Ameri[ can, who took some terns from their , nests on a rocky islet near the coast 5 of Florida. Having marked them, he released them at sea about 800 miles . to the north of their borne and sev? eral hundred miles north of their , normal range. These birds, theret fore, being liberated at sea, where , neither they nor their ancestors had i ever been before, it would seem that , they could not find their way back. . Yet in the course of a few days a fair ; proportion had returned to their is. land home. This experience is cer[ tainly conclusive as showing that t some birds have the power of rein. tation and of finding their way with[ out the aid of any landmarks or in. herited knowledge.

DELK, Bamberg, S. C. ROPE HORSESHOES. Asphalt and Wood Pavements Xec< sitate Safety Shoos for Horses. Owing to the rapid increase in t mileage of streets paved with asphi and wood blocks and to the cong< tion of traffic in the large citieswas found necessary to afford grej er safety for horses, to prevent th< slipping and to enable them to coi to a quick stop. This has been 2 tained by fitting them with "rop horseshoes. These shoes were fii manufactured some twenty-five yea ago, but it is only during the last c cade that the industry has grown large proportions. Various forms a: shapes of shoes are used. Some a open at the back, like an ordina horseshoe. Others are closed; a: very often, besides being close there is a bridge or crosspiece joi ing the two sides. When this is t case the bridge is constructed li the rest of the shoe, inclosing tarred rope. There are usuany eig nail holes in each shoe, and in ord to strengthen the bottom, and espe ally to make the nail holes more i cure, the walls of the grooves a sometimes re-enforced by braces. T space in the center of the shoe is < ten covered over with various kin of inserts to protect the frog from i jury. The latest novelty, which h been adopted by the royal stables, the insertion at the back of the sh of a block of wood into which st bristles have been driven. This an additional preventive against sli ping. When the ground is cover with snow, a special ice plate is i serted in its stead. It is customary to use special na with long heads in attaching t shoes to the hoof. When;the lor headed nails are used, it is possit to drive them in and to extract the without taking out the rope.' The nails, which are driven between t outer side of the groove and t tarred rope, also help to hold in t 4>n v?<v>ns4* rnriQ nriiQTO ruptj.

OLDER BRIDES NOW RULE. Aged Spinsters and Widows Ha Matrimonial Chance. Lililan Russell's fourth matrimo al venture has led a newspaper make inquiries at London church to discover if a woman of 50 has better chance of marrying than f< ' '* 11? ? "tVi.'nVi nrrtmon a meriy, 11 tne age ai wuau nuiuvu ~ now marrying is advancing, and ii woman nearing the middle age h more attractions now than she us to have for a marrying man, says London special. It would seem that these questic can be answered in the affirmati1 The marriage registers of the prese day provide emphatic proof of t changes taking place. . The marriage register at ! Marylebone church, which is a r< resentative one for marriages of classes, shows that since the beg: ning of the year 22 women aged and over were married; one 43, o 46, two 48, one 50, one 51, and o 53. Some of them were widows, t the majority were spinsters. One the officials of the church said: "I have not the slightest dou that brides are much older now1 wh they marry.
