IT is reported that the cabs of Paris
are to be fitted with slot machines, en-
abling the passenger who drops in ten
centmes to obtain an insurance policy
available for the time during which the
the cab has been hired. If the passen-
ger is killed his heirs get 5000 francs;
should he be absolutely incapacitated
by accident. 1900 francs; Or if the in
jury is just sufficiently severe to keep
the rider from work for a month he re-
ceives 500 francs. There's millions in
it, for the genius who will SO modify
this scheme that it will insure i'm
munity from extortionate charges on
the part of the cab driver.

The telephone does not often develop
such an interesting romance as that
which occurred in Chicago recently. 1t
is owing to that instrument that Miss
Wheeler has discovered a brother whom
She had not seen for twenty-five years.
In telephone directory she CHANGED
upon the name of w. w. Wheeler. Those
were the initials of her long-lost
brother. With spring to the phone
she .'rang him up" and an hour later
brother and sister were clasped in each
others arms The telephone, as rule,
is a very matter-of-fact instrument,
but it must be admitted that it brought
about a decidedly romantic incident.

WHAT an unconscious contrast is pre-
sented in the news dispatches; in one
place chronicling the bountiful harvests
of western America, which are fairly
bursting granary doors, and in another
telling, for example, how in the Rus
sian province Of Volga women and
children wander exhausted about the
market places, crying for food. But
while with true Yankee susceptibility
to distress wherever encountered Amer
leans sympathize with stricken Euroce
they cannot forget their own good
fortune, which will enable them not
only to be prosperous beyond expecta-
ton, but also to be generous.

A strange story.

Early in January of the present year a
woodman engaged in chOppIng some of the
monster oaks i'm the northern part of the
great 'Black Forest" Germany, and who
had built "A fire against large dead log
preparatory TO partaking of his midday
meal was surprised to see serpent of gil
gantic proportions crawl from the log as
soon rs the rotton wood had got well
warmed through. The day was bitter cold
and the snake only made a few yards over
the frozen ground until his convolutions
became smaller and smaller, until he finally
ceased to wiggle and quietly coiled up
near a large pile of brush.
The sturdy German chopper, who had
been more surprised than scared, waited
until the creature had become thoroughly
benumbed with the cold and then APP
preached and dispatched him with his axe.
Measurements showed the Shiny creature
to be % feet inches in length and nearly
Is inches through the body IN the middle.
just back of the immense head, which
was IL inches in length and almost as
broad, little gold ring had been put
through the skin. 1t was in the form of
two rings rather than one, being shaped
not unlike figure s. One part of the ring
was through the skin. while the other was
through hole in a small copper coin bear
ing date Of 1712. One side of the coin was
perfectly smooth with the exception Of
these letters and figures, which had evil

Some of the older inhabitants of the
"Black Forest remember hearing their
pa.ents tell of "Krutzer, the serpent
clglrmer," and they all unite in declaring
that this gigantic serpent was formerly the
property of the old ''charmer," and that it
was at least lis years old when killed by
the woodchopper on that cold January day
