An old paper says "It always has
puzzled us very much to tell why the
letter G in certain words should have
the sound of or, rather, why the
words in question were not spelt with
the last of these letters instead of the
first. One of the words to which we
refer is Seq. Etymology supports us
in our question, that his word should
properly be spelled with with an o, for
it is actually derived from the word
500, a swine, pig, a grunter. The
thing came about in this way-Sus
Gin the second case suis,) is the Latin
for a 500, and the bristles of this ami.
NAL being formerly used for sewing
instead of needles, as the are by shoe
makers inS our day, the word SEQ, to
sew was founded upon sus. OF course
our English SEQ, came from the Roman
500, with which it is identical in mean

Is it not odd to think the term disig.

useful than elegant, employment OF

the name, or rather the bristles of q

Divorce In San Francisco.

Hayward filed bill Ct complaint in the
fourth district court against her hus-
band, Alvinza Hayward, the great capt.
tslist, praying for divorce on grounds
of desertion and for a division of the
common property. The complaint al
leges that they were married in Milford,
Jefferson county, Wis, in 1916, and
lived together as man and wife until the
TIN of November, 1874. Mrs. Hayward
further alleges that since their marriage
Mr.. Hayward has acquired real and
personal property to the value of $1O,-
600, 900. The answer to the complaint
was fled on the same day, and acknowl-
edged before the same notary. No de
nisls are made, and the document con
tains tho simple admission that he is
possessed of considerable property, all
of which belongs to the community ex-
listing between himself and wife, the

he is unable to state. He joins with the

A Man with a Silver Head.

Count Paul de Gabriac publishes, in
his travels, the following reminiscence
of Lima: Gone day, when dining with
the French Consul, the Man with the
Silver Head was announced. He was q
Freedman, owning q small property
near the city. While taking q walk
some months ago he heard cries of
agony, and, Fastening in the, direction
from which they came, surprised three
brigands, one 81 whom held travellers
head between his knees, while another
cut 8. his ears of, and ia third
stabbed rim. The undaunted French
man killed one Of the villains,
whereupon the two others fed At this
moment, and while attending to the dy-
ing traveller, Peruvian gensdarmes APP
peared upon the scene, one of whom,
thinking the Frenchman g murderer,
with q powerful horizontal blow Of his
sword cut the top part of his head clean
of, laying the brain bare. The French
man, after lying an hour unconscious,
revived, picked up the, upper part OF
his head, walked home in the broiling
sun, and mad silver plate made in lieu
of the original scalp, which had shrank
too much. 81 a9a94

Nearly opposite Brockway's is Por-
ter's Island, lake Superior, says Swine
ford in his history Of The iron mines,a bit
of rock, upon which was built the 'sgov-
ernment house, the residence of that
high and potent individual, the United
States agent, who reigned over the cop
per land, countersigning permits and
dispensing favors of consular nature
to visitors of Copper Harbor. bsa
In the summer of 1846 we saw half
breed woman who had been Orusoeing
on the island; she and her husband had
been placed on the island in charge OF
property. Owing to the wreck Of the
big Aston, in the fall of 1916, supplies
failed to reach them. Long they wait
ed tor succor, but in vain. Winter
came on, snow covered the ground, and
ice gathered on the water; then this
lone pair were left to their fate on this
savage, desolate island tout of human
ity's reach" The shrieking winds
as they swept through the fir
trees, end the black pillows
of the stormy lake spending
their sullen fury UPON the rocky coasts,
we're the only sounds that could greet
the ear during the long, long dark win.
ter of that high northern latitude. For
companionship they must depend upon
each other. But, before the winter was
half spent, the husband sickened and
died, and the poor woman was absolute
~ alone. Wrapping the remains of her
dead husband in q blanket she removed
them from the hut and deposited them
in the snow, where, frozen solid like a
pillar of ice, they were preserved until
the return of spring permitted of their
burial. The widow passed the long
winter as best she could, subsisting on
the flesh of rabbits which she managed
to snare; her bereavement, hardships
and the terrors of isolation, wonderful
as it May seem did not affect her health
or mind. She was taken off from the
Island in the spring, and was happy
enough when she reached the main
land.

A young lawyer of this county made

charged with hog stealing. A gentle.
man who was present gives this as q
literal report of the speech: Gentle
men of the jury: Ny client is no more
guilty of stealing that hog than a frog

attention" OF course the man was
acquitted. "A gentleman of this county
who was elected magistrate last May,
and who was not altogether familiar
with legal terms, had the following pro-
ceedings in his court: Two attorneys,
representing opposite parties, had
agreed to have the case dismissed so
that it might be brought up again, If
found necessary. In accordance with
this agreement one of the attorneys adj
dressed the Court, asking that the case
be s'dismissed without prejudice" The
Court replied, g Certainly, sir, GER
