week's horoscopes are as follows:
X. Y. Z., Crete, Neb.
You are a mixture of the signs Aries,
which Mars rules, and Taurus, v Inch
Venus rules, and therefore Mars and
Venus are your ruling planets. You
are medium height or above; medium
to light complexion; the eyes have a
peculiar sparkle and sharp sight and
are of a medium to light color. You
are very active and energetic and quite
ambitious to push business; yet, if this
time is correct, you have no constitu-
tion that will allow you to carry out
your ambitions, and your worst ail-
ments will he in some way connected
with your head. You have a great love
for the beautiful in art and nature;
you are possessed with a great ability
to talk, write and work fine embroid-
ery and paint; you have natural abil-
ity in some of the fine arts. Ho.vever,
only those that know you well will
fully appreciate you, and the first half
of life will be uphill work, the last half
will be some better. Marriage is un-
fortunate for you.

Miss Marian Sara Parker, of Detroit,
is the first woman to graduate from tlio
department of engineering in the I ni-
versity of Miciiigan. Iler object in
taking thia course was to become a
practical architect. Her thesis for
graduating consisted of designing a
fireproof apartment building, having
to figure out the strength of every
piece ol iron in the construction.
In the Old World the college student!
Incite revolts. In the New World they
merely commit hazing outrages. But
everywhere they exemplify vhe truth
that a little learning can make its own-
er dangerous.
Five thousand students are in at-
tendence upon the agricultural colleges
of the country and nearly 11,000,000
acres of land have been granted to
these institutions by the general gov-
ernment.
Massage treatment in Japan is ad-
ministered almost entirely by blind
persons. The reason is because in the
blind the sense of touch is more deli-
cate than in persons blessed with sight.
The west coast of Prance is ocaasion-
ally visited by that rare methological
phenonmcnon known as the "perfumed
mist."
One of the things a man has to be
thankful for is the ISulure of some of
