new and more artistic pattern than the
present issues. Al>out r l) per cent, of

Force of the Growing Vine.
A London paper tells of a paving
stone in that city which weighed 500
pounds and which, while wedged in on
sill sides by other stones, was lifted up
by a mushroom. The United States
department of agriculture has, by ex-
periments, found that the force of a
growing pumpkin was sufficient to lift
tons, provided the weight is so
placed as not to interfere with the
yrowth or natural development of thu
vegetable.

The latest bulletin of the treasury

tunic nearly twice as much coffee as

consumes on the average -0 pounds of

The latest reports as to the condition
of the school penny savings banks in
Chicago show that considerable money
was drawn out from them during and
just preceding the last summer vaca-
tion, but the total left is more than
double the amount in hand a year ago.
Much of the money was spent to buy
graduation suits. Many of the chii-
dred paid the whole cost of new clothes
for the closing exercises out of the
inonev tliev hud laid by a penny at <i
lime. More still went for vacations.

The 426 colleges and universities that
have reopened their doors to the 175,-
000 American college students repre-
sent an invested capital of 8250,000,000
and give employment to 25,000 persons
as teachers and otlicers. If all the pro-
fessors, students and buildings of all
the American colleges were brought to-
gether in one locality they would form
a city of the first magnitude, anil it is
estimated that the total sum paid out
fur college education in this country
annually cannot fall short of S100.0U0.-

thus make MacAi thur's advance easier
and insure the use of the railroad for
transportation of troops and supplies
to an advanced point in the enemy's
