was "only in fun" when she struggled.
We have been afraid for long time that
something Of this kind would happen. 1t
is direct warning to all young ladies to
keep their necks out oil arms way.
That was a very happy unconscious
pun which Prof. G. OF Rochester Uni.
versity perpetrated in his classroom the
other day. He had been dilating 10 some
extent on the character and career OF
Lylwarch Hen, the Norwegian poet, and
wishing to illustrate the authors style, he
remarked: ~ will read you one Of his
lays" A slight smile came over the
faces Of q few students OF this, which
gradually spread, until the whole class
was In o tumult OF laughter before the
professor saw hisjoke.
One of the "schOol.marms" who re.
Gently went TO Oregon TO engage in the
duties OF her vocation, thus writes TO her
friends at home: IA panther was killed
last week near my schOOl.room, measur'
ing seven feet from the tip Of the cars to
the extremity of the tail and seven back

"A ragged urchin OF seven years, at
Gloucester, England. q few days ago,
wanted TO ride on a locomotive. The en-
gineer had tic insolenCe and presumption
10 refuse this triilng request, but tho in
suited youth resolved that no wouldsnot
be treated with such contempt without
making his power felt in the community
of Gloucester. He according set switch
wrong on the line, and q train of thirty
cars ran off the track, 10 the great peril Of
the passengers. The law Of the realm
seems not to have been sufficient TO man
age this prccocious youth, for jury felt
Obliged to acquit him, and the Judge was
so puzzled by the case that he ordered ii
to be "put aside for short time"
1t is u well.known fact that wine i'm.
proves with age, and as a consequence, of
course, Il increases In value, but any Ons
who thinks 1t worth while to invest his
surplus funds In wine In order TO get rich
by the advance In It's value, may as well
cipher out his sum to the end before he
enters upon the speculation. There are
204 bottles OF wine In a cellar at Bremen
which were bought In 1924 for 500 rlX
dollars. Reckoning the actual expense Of
keeping and guarding the cellar, together
with compound interest on the original
price Of the wine, We find that each bottle

lion pounds sterling. 1t would be exceed
ingly difficult to sell this mellow beverage
now at a profit on the investment.
"A heather tribe has recently been dis.
covered, the females Of which actually
wear their hair in more painful and In
convenient way than Is done by our dear
ladies. The Pal Mall Gazette says: The
Kulmarks are ruled by an elderly woman.
A Tartar who had returned from Kuldla
related at Fort VernOe that he had seen
this Kulmar ruler proceeding 10 an inter-
view with the chief Of the Taranchis,
Her hair, he said, hung in long tresses
down her buck. They were so heavy

ments that they had to be supported by
two men as she walked. It might be pre-.
mature, as yet, to follow the example Of
this old lady Of Dzungaria Proper, but
there can be no doubt that bank notes
might be used as Cure.papers with the
most pleasing effect, and that any young
lady appearing with her head thus adorn-
cd would not suffer from any lack Of ad-
mirers.
in regard to the Identification OF sig
natures by experts, the New Orleans
Redyune says: We recall an incident
which happened in Camp street, as in.
deed it often happens in every bank. A
gentleman asked the paying teller for q
blank check, drew II on the spot to his
own order and presented it the teller
glanced at the lace Of the paper, turned 1t
over and handed 1t back, asking that it be
endorsed. This done and the check re-
turned, tho teller looked at the endorse
ment, then at the first signature, and
again at the endorsement, smiled distract
edly and said: "If l had not myself seen
you write those two signatures, l would
not pay this check, Tor they are not at all
similar"
The affections of the lower animals
are sometimes as Maynard and inexplica-
bio as those OF the men and women who
assume to be their betterS, The story is
told in Michigan paper OF q romantic
attachment which sprung up between q
goose and colt, q fitting type Of the roman
tic attachments which sometimes spring
up in q higher sphere Of life. Every
where that pony went that goose was
sure to 60, and when pony lay down the
goose Struggled close up to his side. The
two would fight for each other on the
slightest provocation, eat from the same
trough, and in every possible way express
their mutual devotion.
AN old negro made application at
one of the public buildings at Washington,
some time since, for something to eat, and
claimed that he had u right to come there
for victuals. The head Of the depart
ment was called in, who asked the darkey
upon what right he based his claims.
"Why," said the sable representative Of
