A Poser for the LAWYERS.

John Doe owns a farm on the bank of
the Niagara river. He has a fine pasture
along the river, and he makes an honest
penny now and then pasturing COWS for
his neighbors. Richard Roe has also a
license from him to hitch his rowboat
on the bank, with incidental right of in
gress and egress through the pasture.
About a week ago Richard lost his chain
and ~improvised a rope of hay with which
to moor his boat.
Now Ebenezer Dicks cow, pastured in
the lot aforesaid, is fond of hay, and
smelling the fragrance of the extempore
rope she waded into the river, climbed
into the boat, chewed up the rope, and
1oated down the stream over the falls,
where she met an untimely death. The
boat was also pulverized en- route to
Queenstown.
Has Ebenezer Dick any right of action
for the loss of his COW? II he has, of
whom can he recover? Has Richard Roe
any remegy for the loss of his boat, and
if so against whom?-Buffalo Courier.

The Queer End of O Snake Fight.

One Of the most exciting contests ever
witnessed occurred at the depot Of the
Georgia Midland railroad.
The contest was between Ernest Low
er's pet king snake and a little green
snake known as a "garter." The snakes
were about of equal size and length, and
it was hard to tell for half IN hour who
would prove the victor in the contest.
After racing around the cage for some
time the king snake caught the green
one about six inches from the head, slip
ping himself around his adversary and
getting his mouth closer and closer to
its head. The green snake the while
kept its mouth wide open as if in an eff
fort to get it's head too large to go into
the king snakes mouth and thereby
thwart it's effort to swallow him. This
effort proved futile, for soon the head
and about six inches Of the green snake
were in the stomach of the king. At
this point of the game another and more
stubborn contest took place.
In the cage are two Wi-es-one run
ming perpendicular and the other hori-
zontal. Twisting itself around the per-
~pendicular wire, the green snake tied
itself into various hard knots. Mounting
the horizontal bar, or wire, the king be-
gan the work of christening the coils of
the other by continued pulling and swal-
lowing.
When the feat was accomplished, with
the exception of about a half foot Of the
tail, it looked like the king snake would
be defeated, but with some maneuvering
the tail was united, and the job of swal-
lowing was completed.
After finishing the task the king snake
looked wonderfully pleased, and raced
around eying the spectators for some
minutes.-Cor. Atlanta Constitution.

A Queer Hallucination.

There is a very good story, which has
the somewhat unusual merit of truth,
which has been told again and again in
the dispensary, as illustrating the power
of imagination. A lady, who was other
wise quite rational, was troubled with a
horrible feeling that a snake was gnaw-
ing away her vitals, as she explained it.
Efforts were made to convince her of her
error, but without avail, and it was
finally decided to humor her out of her
trouble. A small snake was secured, and
one day she was told the necessary oper-
alton would be gone through to relieve
her of her trouble. Chloroform was ad-
ministered and when she revived a
scratch made while she was asleep was
carefully bandaged up, and the snake
was exhibited as evidence of the superb
ority of her diagnosis over that Of the
physicians. Her JOY was painful to wit
ness, and she went away thoroughly
cured.-Interview in st. Louis Globe

A correspondent Of a leading scientific
journal says that a bust OF statue can be
most thoroughly cleaned, provided it has
not been painted, oiled or waxed, by in
verting it and filing it with water free
from iron. The water is then allowed
10 filter through the plaster. After the
fltering has been kept up for a sufficient
time and the outside surface occasion
ally washed with water and a soft brush,
the plaster is allowed to dry. 1t is then
found that all the dust has been wiped
out of the pores OF the. cast, which il
thus restored to IFS original wbiteness.

New Rules of PoIiteness.

In certain private schools of Brooklyn
new rules of politeness are enforced. It
is no longer proper for the little pupils
to say: "Yes, SIR" No, sir" Eyes.
ma'am." and mo, ma'am," to their
elders. Now the correct thing is: "Yes,
Mr.. Brown" mo, Miss Smith" and
SO on.
If the child happens to be addressed
by a strange lady or gentleman the child
is instructed to reply. Yes, mister" or
Eyes, lady"
AT first this strikes the uninitiated as
an unpleasant innovation, but it has OBJ
tanned a strong hold on the children
and they are rapidly making their pa
rents converts to the new system.-New

DREiG'M Cost.

David Robertson. the Scotch natural
ist, had, when a boy, rathee an unusual
experience in clothing himself, and the
method he adopted seems amusingly
different fro1a that Of boys in our Own
day, who when they want a new jacket,
ask for it OF go without
David was early a%pprenticed to a farm
er to herd the cattle, and one day he
went to a fair with bis master and there
gained a prize Of twenty shillings by
running a race. When he reached home
his mistress offered him for the pound
enough of homemade wooden cloth for a
coat, but though David joyfully &C
cepted it, he wa disappointed at finding
that the tailor would not make his year
ly visit to the house for some time.
With the Impotence of youth he
begged his mistress to let him make the
coat himself. At first she refused, but
when David persisted, she agreed to the
wild project, stipulating, however, that
he should take all the responsibility and
ask help of no one.
The boy began by carefully ripping
his old coat in pieces for a pattern, and
by this he cut the new one, first num-
bering the pieces in chalk that he might
know how to put them together. AS all
his time belonged to his master he was
obliged TO take his sewing out into the
pasture, and there after a month Of
laborious work the new coat was COM
pleted. Its buttons came from an old
coat which had been discarded by his
master, and the thread with which it
was put together had been spun and
dyed at the house.
When David showed his mistress the
new coat she was loud in praise of it,
and declared that not even the tailor
could have done it better. One thing,
however, it needed. and that was a care
full pressing, which he was allowed to
give it at the house.
The hardest task Of all remained, for
he was obliged to remake his old coat,
and as the seams were frayed and deli
cate he had to exercise great care in join
ing them again. Another month and
this task also was done. Then was
David the proud possessor of two coats.

Philarete Chasles relates in his me.
moirs how one afternoon, as he was at
work in his newspaper office, a young
man with military air, looking as bold
as if he were going to the wars, knocked
imperiously at the door, walked in, sat
down and said, without further pre-
amble:
Monsieur, | am Hugo"
Then, after handing to Chasles the
famous yellow covered book with the
password "Hierro" on the title page, he
asked him if he was on his side or not,
and continued:
Monsieur, not only are we going TO
change poetry, which needs funda-
mental revolution, but grammar also.
What do you think about our prosodyf
French prosody must be completely over
hauled"
Soft is in France, where neither centu-
ries nor years count, but only minutes
and seconds, the shock of contraries and
the violence of reaction. The French
must always be fighting about some
thing-even for Boileau against Ron
sard, and for Nonotte against Voltaire.
Printers ink must smell of powder,
otherwise life seems insipid and thought
without any SAVIOR. Victor Hugo's visit
to Chasles is typical. Theodore Child

White Paper Not Wasted.

"There is no such thing as waste
paper" said the junk dealer to a re-
porter. Hardly a scrap of white paper
is wasted. Every bit of it that is thrown
away is carefully gathered up and finds
its way eventually TO the mill again to
be made over. The notebook in your
hand may furnish material for the pages
on which you will write letter six
months hence, and perhaps year later
you will unknowingly find it incorpo-
rated in summer novel with yellow
covers. Thus the stock of paper that
supplies the world is used over and over
again indefinitely through the medium
of the scavengers, the dealers in Junk
and the factories, which are continually
engaged in Transforming the discarded
material into fresh and clean sheets.
Brown paper, however, is different.
Because it is composed of nothing more
valuable than straw it is mostly thrown
away and never used again. | would
not pay you twenty-five cents for ton
of it. A few years ago old newspapers
were worth four cents pound, being
made of rags. Now they are manu-
featured ont of wood pulp and straw,
and their market value is only quarter
of a cent a pound. Office paper, such
as old bills and such scraps, are worth
the same price as newspapers, while
what we call ''office sweepings." COM
posed largely of envelopes, are quoted
at fifteen cents a haidredweight." -

Eccentric Wills,

Eccentricity, and nothing else, distin-
guishes the will proved in 1924 Of Henry
Trigg, of Storage, Of the county of
Hartford, grocer, who directed that his
body should be committed to the west
end of his howell, to be decently laid
there upon a floor erected by his execu-
tors; and only sixty years ago, it is said,
the bones of Mr.. Trigg still remained
unburied in the rafters at the west end
Of his howell aforesaid. A provision,
quite as bizarre, was made in the will of
the philosophic Jeremy Bentham, who
enjoined his executors to embalm his
corpse and dress it in the clothes which
he was accustomed to wear in his life
time, in order that he might form the
text of lecture to be delivered annu-
ally az literary institute held at a
school of anatomy in Windmill street,
Haymarket.
On the occasion of one of the lectures
on Jeremy Bentham's mummy the ven
cradle philosophers head fell off and
came TO irremediable grief, whereupon
an artificial head was modelled in wax
by Miss Margaret Gillies, the distin-
guished miniature painter, but the
mummy with the waxen head has long
since faded out Of the public ken.-Lon-
don Telegraph.

How far back do the pedigrees run
and what is the origin of the Arabian
horse? These questions it is impossible
to answer definitely. The Bedouins
themselves believe that Allah created
the equine genus on their soil. THE
root or spring of tAe horse is" they say,
''in the land of Arab" This pious
belief is shared h.. few generous souls
in England and America, small but
devoted band, who CALAMITY defend the
cause of the Arabian horse against his
only rival, the modern English thorough
bred. Chief among these faithful was
the late Major r. d. Upton, who visited
the desert himself and who has recorded
his experience and his views.
Major Upton concluded that the horse
was found in Arabia mot later than
about 100 years after the deluge, if in
deed he did not find his way there i'm
mediately after the exodus from the ark,
which is by no means improbable" and
this probability the author then proceeds
seriously to consider, According to Ma
jor Upton and a few kindred spirits all
other breeds are mongrels, and the only
way TO procure horsehesh in its best and
purest form is to go back to the fountain
head-to the horse of the desert. -Atlan-
tic Monthly.

A young dentist who opened an Office

There was profitable hour or two in
the chair, during which the young den

and chiseled and buzzed. At length, in
stead of filling up the biggest cavities

cupant of the chair briefly.

An Electrical Detective.

A clever piece of detective work,
which must appeal with sad and crush
ing suggestiveness to the crook frater-
nifty, has been done in Toledo. A barber
for some time missed cigars from the
case in his shop. At first only few
cigars were taken, but presently the
thieves became holder and took whole
boxes. A watch was set and detectives
were employed, but all in vain. AT last
the barber struck ON the idea Of having
an automatic detecter fixed in the shop,
and he called in an electrician. A cam
era was arranged so as to cover the cigar
case, and a flashlight apparatus and the
camera were connected by wires with
the sliding door of the cigar case, so
that when the door was opened the wires
would be brought together The circuit
thus formed would produce a flash and
secure instantaneously a picture of the
thieves. For twelve days the cigars
were unmolested, but on the morning Of
the unlucky thirteenth the thieves were
prompted to try their hand again.
The plate was taken from the camera
and developed, and ON it was seen a
unique and interesting picture, contain
ing the hkenesses of two juveniles who
were in the act of stealing the cigars.
Every detail in the shop was distinctly
seen, the clock showing the time at
which the youngsters little operations
were interfered with, and the mixture
of cunning and caution on the face of
the boy who was evidently taking the
active part in securing the booty was
intensely amusing. The boys were at
once recognized, were arrested, tried
and sent to a reformatory, and the judge
commended from the bench the ingenu-
ity of the means of detection employed.
