In breach of promise suit in Mon
tana, not long ago, the plaintiff said
that the defendant, having clearly I'M
derstood the date fixed for the wedding,
had failed to appear on that important
day. He afterwards had come to the
house, but she, being angry, had set
the dogs on him. The defendant ad.
mitted that day had been named for
the ceremony, and further said that
he had intended to be present as per
agreement. "Then," said the judge.
"why did you not appear" "Well,
Judge, the fact is | was freed by a
bear all day and night, and couldn't
possibly get away in time" The case
was dismissed a few moments later and
Miss Plaintiff became Mrs. Defendant.

EXPLODED Notions. One by one
our old and ill.founded notions are
controversial. DIR. Tanners expert
ence proved that man almost starv-
ed to death may eat ravenously with
safety; though the previous idea was
that he should only be permitted to
come to full diet slowly. 1t has
been thought that animals or person
when frozen, had better be warmed
gradually, but a series of very thor
ough experiments carried on in Europe
with dogs has shown that of twent y

elevated, fourteen died; of twenty ami

into warm apartment. eight died; of
twenty animals that were Immediately

Fasting IN ACUTE rheumatism.
DR.. Wood, professor Of chemistry
in the Medical Department of Bishops
College, Montreal, reports in the Can
ada Medical Record a number of cases
in which acute articular rheumatism
was cured by fasting, usually from
four to eight days. In no case was it
necessary to fast more than ten days.
Less positive results were obtained in
eases of chronic rheumatism. The pa
tients were allowed to drink freely of
cold water, or lemonade in moderate
quantities if they preferred. No med
icines were given. DIR. Wood says
that from the quick aud almost inva-
riably good results obtained by simple
abstinence from food in more than for.
ty casesiu his own practice he is in.
clined to believe that rheumatism is,
after all, only phase of indigestion,
to be cured by giving complete and
continued rest TO all the viscera.

Was a fabulous bird that was said to
live in Arabia, and of which Herodo1
tus gives the following account in that
part Of his work which treats on Egypt:
1.-The phenix is another sacred bird,
which | have never seen except in eff.
gy. He rarely appears IN Egypt;
once only in 500 years, Immediately
after the death of his father, as the
Heliopoltans affirm. 1t the painters
describe him truly, his feathers repre-
sent mixture of crimson and gold;
and he resembles the eagle in outline
aud size. They affirm that he con-
trives the following thing, which to
me is not credible. They say that he
comes from Arabia, and, bringing the
body of his father inclosed in myrrh,
buries him in the temple of the Sun;
and that he brings him in the follow.
ing manner: First he moulds as great
n quantity of myrrh into the shape
of an egg as he is well able to carry,
and, having tried the weight, he hol.
lows out the egg, and puts his parent
into it, and stops up with some more
myrrh the hole through which he had
introduced the body, so that the
weight is the same as before; he then
carries the whole mass TO the temple
of the Sun in Egypt. Such is the ac-
count they give Of the phoenix. The
popular version is that, on arriving at
the age of 800 years, the phoenix
built funeral pile of wood and arc.
matte gums, and, lighting it by the
tanning of its wings, was consumed to
ashes, out ofwhich arose new pho
nix.

SfcOnd-The contestee having failed to
make pTtnlG J0cie title to the seat, and
fe being the only person bearing the Ger.
tifcste of the only officer competent for
that purpose, it would seem to follow that
the only remaining question is which of
these two pertons having the quali6ca-
tioRs prescribed by the Constitution re-
ceived the greatest number of votes at the
election?
And here, at the threshold, it is OBJ
iected that the contestant has failed to
make any proof Of the allegation, in bic
notice of contest contained, that be re-
ceived the highest number Of votes at
such elect within the time prescribed
by law
To which it may be replird that the
notice of contest proceeded upon the as
sumption that the certificate of the Gov

But if AN right in my first conclusion
and the contestee has ny reason of his
certificate no valid title whatever, then
how csn the burden of proof in the first
instance be said to be upon the person
who has named himself as the contest
ant? Both being destitute of a pTinaG
fdcie title, how do the parties differ 30
far as determining which has the sffirms-
tive ia the contest?
But If the form the contest has taken is
to be deemed to determine that, then we
are brought to the question, ie the ad-
mission contained ON page 81 OF the re-
cord sufficient to put the cOntestee to
proof OF the affirmative allegations of bis
answer? At all events the contestee
seems to have SO regarded it, when, upon
notice to the contestant, he produced and
examined witnesses before the notary to
establish the Alienage and polygamy of
the contestant.
