The words were uttered in tone of
great excitement by stout woman of
about forty years Of age last evening in
Columbia Avenue car, and as she
tpoke slim youth who was seated be-
side her in corner of the car fell for
ward and dropped in heap npon the
straw.
A doctor was hurriedly summoned,
and after disappearance of about ten
minutes the young man and physician
came out OF tho room, which had been
kept closed, arm in arm. The young
mans face was still pale and he walked
with q perceptible tremor. The doctor
said: .sThat is the fourth case this
month / have seen Of the deadly effects
of wearing tight trousers, and had that
young man not been attended to prompt
ly he might have been in great danger .
Tight trousers, " querieda bystander
incredulously.
"Yes, sir; tight trouaersl Why, you
can not imagine how often we doctors

Wanted a Divorce.

A thinly, and yet, neatly clad little
girl, approached the bench during lull
in Denver court and told the Judge
she wanted to get a divorce for her
mother, because her father would not
work at oil, and took all the money her
mother made with her needle and
bought whisky with it. Then, because
her mother had no money to give him
the night before, and her brother who
sold papers was sick and couldn't work,
her father had beaten ali of them nearly
to death, she being the only one who
was able to get Gut of the house. Her
mother said if che was able to go to the
court house she would get a divorce and
never allow the drunken brute to come
about them, 30 she thought she would
slip out and get it. The Judge regretted
his inability to comply with her request,
but had the brute before him in less
than half an hour and made it pleasant
for him.

''What are you crying about, little
boy?" asked a kind-hearted old gentle
man OF little boy who was weeping bit.
terly in front of the Brunswick Hotel in
Austin. The trembling child explained
between his sobs that his father had
given him nickel with which to buy
some purchases at a corner grocery for
the brutal parent, and, having lost the
coin, the boy would be beaten and cruel
ly ill.treated ON his return without
either the tonic or the money. "Here,
my little boy, here you have another
nickel" and the stranger handed over
the coin, but the urchin still wept, re-
fusing to be comforted. ssWhy do Won
continue to shed tears?" asked the old
gentleman. Because if I hadn't lost
the other nickel l would have two now.

Austin that the first nickel the boy lost
was q myth.

mANlToBA,s TROUBLES.

a Canadian Newspapers View OF the Sit
uation. 5
ToRoNro, April 25.-The Globe edi-
torial on tho discomfort in the North
west says:
There is still danger Of serious trouble in
Manitoba and the Northwest. The oppression
Of tariff, the oppression of railroad monopoly,
the great injustice done by the disallowance
Of provincial railway charters and the injury
done to all interests by the misfranagement Of
lands, have produced feeling Of
irritation and determination to obtain
redress, OF which the resolution passed
by the Manitoba Legislature is the first serious
outcome. II the redress BIO refused at Otta-
wa, or if the terms offered be Unsatisfactory,
they are resolved to carry their complaints and
demands to the throne. The colonial office
will, no doubt. be unwilling to interfere ex-
cem as mediator, but the imperial govern.
ment will not like to learn that community
growing upon the United States frontier, and
SO far away from the Canadian center CT govern-
ment, has serious grievances and is unable to
obtain redress.

A novel use has been found for saw
dust. Some one has recently secured a
patent for substituting it for sand in
plastering orhouses. He claims forit that
it is cheaper, lighter, warmer, more por.
ous, and by it's non.conducting qualities
renders rooms capable Of retaining heat
much longer than ordinary plastering.
Il these claims, or majority of them,
can be substantiated, we should Judge
this to be no ordinary discovery. A
numbering town like Muskegon might
readily supply enough Of the material
now to plaster as many houses as there
are in Chicago. The extreme lightness
OF the material renders it possiblefor
shipment long distances at moderate ex-
pense, il properly boxed or compressed
in bales. sE{

for hours and hours; he had been walk
ing about with pressure of at least 275
pounds to the square inch on his olexii
viyisectori arteries, which are situated
in the calves Of the human leg. This
tremendous pressure forces the blood
into channels not able to carry it with
out straining, and although the victim
feels no pain he is liable at any moment
to topple over ina swoon, and unless re-
lief is promptly given along and serious
illness is likely to follow. II is similar
trouble to that experienced when it was
the fashion for ladies to wear very tight
sleeves, except that in the case Of tight,
trousers the material is heavier, the ar
tories larger and the result apt to be
more dangerous and difficult to relieve.

lFrom obambers, .1n,rnal,


Among the oral traditions OF the past
in Cambridge, there is handed down to
the modern undergraduate an account
ofa secret society which was established
in the university at q remote period Of
time, and which was called the Lie
Society. At the weekly meetings of.the
members an ingenious falsehood was
fabricated, which frequently referred to
some person locally known, and which
was probably not altogether free from
scandal. It was the duties of all the
members to propagate this invented
story as much az possible by relating it
to every one they met. Each member
had to make note OF the altered form
in which the lie thus circulated came
round to him individually, and these
were read out at the next meeting with
all the copious additions and changes
the story had received passing from one
to the other, often to such an extent as
to leave but little Of the original fabric
left. After time the society began to
languish, and soon after disappeared
altogether. 81 sfsF 81
