HARVARD'S ODD CLOTHES.

Students Give Cast Off Raiment to
Poor-?Where SImwk and Hats tk?.
Every spring there occurs at Harvard
College a curious convention of
the old clothes, as It might be called,
at which the cast off garments of
hundreds of college undergraduates
meet and mingle for tho last time
before starting out on an odd and
practical philanthropy.
The affair Is conducted by an
undergraduate organization known
as the Student Volunteer Association.
Everything In the way of clothing
la Included; underwear, suits,
even an occasional dress coat, stockings
with all the variegated splendor
that clings to uudergraduate ankles,
plain and fancy waistcoats and hats
literally too numerous to mention.
During the week of the collection,
mays Modern Women, the old Harvard
Yard Is full of moving bundles
all tending toward Phillips Brooks
House, where the various religious
societies of the college hnvo their
headquarters. Here the bundles are
opened, the various articles sorted,
arranged and finally distributed to
local and distant charitable centers
Boots and shoes, for example, are
what might bo called the Tuskegee
specialty at Harvard. Several boxes
of thorn go annually to Booker
Washington's Institute where tho
shoo shops are Immediately useful in
mending them up and starting them
on a new career of utility. Tho Salvation

married, was about to set
forth on a visit to the old country
' "I suppose you'll take your wife
along," suggested tho victim, helplessly.
"No, sir. I'm not going for pleasure
this tlmo. I want to see my
father before he dies."
"Isn't he woll?"

Much lias been said of the dirt of
the peasants of Brlttalny, and ths
well known "proverb "Ninety-nine
pigs and ono Breton make a hundred
Bretons," and tho still more scathing
saying, "Tho Bas-Bretons and
tho pigs sleep together?I should
not have thought tho pigs so filthy,"
will serve to keep up this reputation
though tho laud should he scoured
with soap. The Interiors of the
homes of the people are by no means
always dirty, and the brass ornaments
upon the cupboards, the pot#
and pans aro Invariably scrupulously
clean. The caps, too, of the women
are always snowy white upon Sundays
and week-days alike.
I A Fortified Monastery.
At Solovetsk, in Russia, Is a remarkable
fortified monastery. It Is
enclosed on every side by a wall of
granite Boulders nearly a mile in circumference.
The monastery Itself U
very Btrongly fortified, being supported
by round and square lowers
about thirty feet In height, with
walls twenty feet In thickness. The
monastery consists In reality of six
churches, which are completely filled
with statues of all kinds and precious
stones. Upon the walls and the
towers surrounding these churches
are mounted huge guns, which in the
time of the Crimean War were directed
against the British White
Squadron.

?
Wives By Purchase.
Wives are still obtained by purchase
in some parts of Russia. In
the district of Kamyshin, on the Volga,
for example, this Is practically
the only way In which marriages are
brought about. The price of i pretty
girl from a well-to-do family ranges
from twenty to forty pounds, and in
special casos a much higher sum is
obtained. In the villages the lowest
price is about five pounds. A
young farmer whose father cannot
afford to pay for a wlfo for him
need not think of getting married.

HOW THE SWISS MAKES AN Al&MY |
1W7,()00 Hold lore to a Population of
Only Three Million*.
According to the Arena the Sw1?
system of militia saves millions of
money to the taxpayers and gives
years of freedom from military service
to the soldiers.
Practically all Swtsa serve from
the age of 20 to 50 In the mllltla and
reserves. The raw recruits go Into
schools, the Infantry for forty-flve
days, the cavalry for eighty days.
After this the cavalry serves sixteen
days oach year and the Infantry
arid artillery fourteen days each
every other year. The reserves serve
only five or six days svery four
years. The officers, of course, are
carefully trained In good schools for
a period of years.
This short servloe would be Insufficient
were It not preceded and
supplemented by military training
for boys In school and rifle practice
every year by practically all Swiss
cltisens.
Target shooting ta the national
Sport, and In accordance with the
law a plaoe for target practice must
be supplied by every town in the
country. As an encouragemout prlr.es
of all sorts are offered by the national
government.
Thus little Switzerland, with a
population of leas than 3,000,000 of
people, has an army of 337,000 of
the most martial soldiers of Europo
? armed, equipped and ready to
take th* field at a moment's notice.
Rats and Silver.
Rats, like magpies and Jackdaws,
seem to have a partiality for silver.
A lady writing In Nature Notes,
says: My sister was staying In *
lonely house In the southwest of
Ireland. One evening the housemaid,
when laying the cloth for late
dinner, placed the butter-dish and
silver butter-knife on the sideboard
and left the room. Returning
a few minutes later she found the
butter-knife gone, and suspected the
rats, which had taken other articles
of silver. When search was made
the missing butter-knife waa found
behind the sideboard, and behind a
heavy piece of furniture anothor
butter-knife was found which had
boon lost for three months. Half-way
down a rat-holo In the pantry a silver
fork and an ordinary dlnnorknlfe
wore found. Silver teaspoons
had also been found under the drawing-room
floor.
American Mineral Water.
In 1860 about 47,000,000 gallons
of mineral waters from springs In
the United States were sold; In
1900, 60,000,000 gallons, and In
1906 about 76,000,000. The value
at the point of shipment now
reaches $12,000,000 a year, and taking
Into account the expense of
transit, bottling and the profits of
retalleas $20,000,000 must be expended
each year for American mineral
waters. The productiveness of

A Novel Dinner.
At a cookery exhibit lately held ia
Paris an lntereetlng feature waa the
reproduction of a dinner offered te
Napoleon I., exactly 100 years before
by Prince Talleyrand, his famous
Foreign Minister. It waa an elabor
at* repast for twenty-alx pereoua,
and the original menu of 180# prepared
by Talleyrand's famous oook.
Caromo, was faithfully followed.
I The pots and pans used, and the table
upon which the dishes were prepared,
were actually the same aa
used at Talleyrand's house a century
ago.
"Doping" on Board Ship.
In his charge to the Warren
county Grand Jury recently Judge
Rush drew attention to the alleged
"doping" with cocaine of roustabouts
by steamship mates. The
Judge stated that It had come to his
ears that mates carried a supply of
the deadly drug, which they gave to
the negroes In liberal doses. When
stimulated by the drug the rouater's
rapacity for work Is greatly increased,
but by the time the trip Is
