Amusing and Characteristlc.

A friend who has just returned from
Paris tells me an amusing and charac-
teristic anecdote. During the recent ex-
position there was little railroad, five
miles in length, running around the
grounds. The tracks ran in and out
among the trees and buildings, and so
near them that passengers head or
arm thrust out Of the window was in
danger of being knocked of. To pre-
vent accidents, of this sort warnings
were printed on large posters and tackled
up at intervals Of few yards along the
entire track. They were printed in al
most every known language, including
Asie.ic and African tongues, shorthand
and Volapuk. Ny friend counted over
thirty languages and dialects. You
would have supposed that none was
omitted In such a list. But there was
one omission, and very important one.
Not single word of warning was print
ed In Germanl Some one said to the
manager of the road: "It looks to me as
though you didn't care whether the Ger
mans got their heads and arms knocked
off or not He smiled aquietsmile and
replied: 1T does look that way, sure
enough. Critic.

ORIENTAL JUSTICE.
How an Eastern Judge Decided q Com
plicated Case.

How an Eastern Judge Decided q Com
plicated Case.
DR.. Henry M. Scudder reports the de-
cision of a case Fl an Eastern court in
which the nice discrimination Of the
bench was conspicuous.
Four men, partners in business, bought
some cotton bales. That the rats might
not destroy the cotton they purchased
cat. They agreed that each of the four
should own particular leg of the cat,
and each adorned with beads and other
ornaments the leg thus apportioned to
him.
The cat by an accident injured one Of
Its legs. The owner of that member
wound about it a rag soaked in oil. The
cat going too near the fire set the rag on
fire, and being in great pain rushed in
among the cotton bales, where she was
accustomed to hunt rats. The cotton
thereby took fire and was burned up. 1t
was total loss.
The three other partners brought an
action to recover the value of the cotton
against the fourth partner, who owned
that particular leg of the cat. The Judge
examined the case and decided thus:
''The leg that had the oil rag on it
was hurt; the cat could not use that leg;
in fact, it held up that leg and ran with
the other three legs. The three unhurt
legs, therefore, carried the fire to the
cotton, and are alone culpable. The in
jured leg is not to be blamed. The three
partners who owned the three legs with
which the cat ran to the cotton will paw
the whole value of the bales to the part
ner who was the proprietor of the in
jured leg"

THE WoMEN'S HUNT.

Females Put On Mems Clothes In Order
to Drive Away Evil Spirits.
A very curious custom is that called
the women's lfunt, which prevails among
some of the aboriginal tribes of Chota
Nagpore, India, 1t is observed when
ever any calamity falls upon the COM
munity-such as, perhaps, visitation
of cholera.
The women put on mems clothes, take
up arms and go a-hunting- in the
jungles, but in the nearest village east
of them. They chase pigs and fowls,
take as their own every thing they kill
and levy blackmail from the heads of
the villages for the purchase Of liquor,
or else they allow themselves to be
bought off for small sum of money and
a pig. Toward evening the hunting
party retire to stream, cook and eat
:. their meal, drink their liquor and then
return home, having acquitted them
selves during the day in thoroughly
masculine and boisterous manner.
Then the village that has been visited
goes on similar excursion to the vii
lage east of it, and SO on to the eastern
border of the district. By this series of
excursions it is supposed that the evil
spirit is safely conducted out of the dis
trict without offending its dignity
