Sir Morell Mackenzie in Berlin.

Sir Moren Mackenzie's death recalled
the placidity of that eminent surgeon
amid the series of extraord binary insults
and antagonistic demonstrations in Ber-
lin during the illness of the late Kaiser
Frederick. I have seen the people in
Berlin throw mud at the carriage of the
English doctor, who was popularity sup
posed to be numbering the German kaiser,
and be was subjected to insults without
number whenever he appeared in the
crowded streets of the German capital.
The bitterness of the emperor's physi-
clans was 30 keen that it transcribed all
bounds of medical etiquette, and Sir
Morell's life at Charlottenburg at one
time was only saved from continued and
undesirable insults by the protection of
tie kaiser's English wife.
The Empress Frederick was q firm be-
lever in her countryman's skill, and she
prevailed in the end. After the mist of
the medical battle had cleared away it
was found that the skill of Sir Morell
Mackenzie had been justified, and lau-
rels were piled high upon his brow. He
was a typical surgeon in manner, for
nothing ever had the slightest effect
upon his deep seated and natural tran
guilty of manner.-Blakely Hall in

Result of Deep Study.

A wealthy newspaper man who lives
In Brooklyn has six-year-old daughter
who. possesses an alert and inquiring
mind. Recently she has become close
student of the almanac. She keeps the
family posted on the weather and is well
informed regarding all of the church
days and the public holidays. One morn
ing she overheard her mother inquiring
whether the ashman was likely to make
his rounds that day. Before the servant
could reply the little girl piped up, "Oh,
no, mamma, the ashman won't be here
until the I'd of March,"
"Why, yes, my child" said the mother.
she certainly must come today or tomor-
TOW" 81 -. - w.
"But he can't, !" persisted the little one.
"'cause that is his day."
"What do you mean, dearr asked the
mother, somewhat puzzled.
"Here it is in the almanac" said the
child. "See, March 2 is Ash Wednes-
day."-New York Times.

Signs Of Spring in . City.

The present forward weather seems
to be a great season for the small boy.
He gets more solid enjoyment out Of the
warm days and the dry sidewalks than
the street cleaning department Of the
BOARD of public works. Every small boy
who is anybody down on the heights has
a pair of roller skates and good strong
pair of lungs. These boys play hockey
on the asphalt pavement OF that exclu-
siye quarter, catch rides on the backs Of
grocery wagons and keep up constant
and eternal yelling. Why they yell does
not appear. It is perhaps because a
small boy cannot do much of anything
without yelling. These boys go scurry-
ing around corners on their skates in i'm
minent danger of cracking their own
skulls and to the great terror of passers
by. They dodge under the heads of spir-
tied coach horses and altogether make q
fresh and healthy nuisance of them
selves. & s. -,
Those poorer boys who are not wealthy
enough to afford each a pair of roller
skates, split up pair between two and
go about pushing the wheeled foot in
front of them, evidently having as
much fun as the rest. The whipping
top is also now much in vogue, and the
tops and the rollers make life burden
to the nursemaids with their perambu-
lators and babies and the policeman on
the corner. Brooklyn Eagle. 8

One Trouble with the New Dimes,

The new coins out from the mint this
year have run against various objections
based on aesthetic grounds. 1t has re-
NAMED for Washington man about
town to discover that the dimes are a
failure from practical standpoint. He
has detected defect beside which the
bullheadedness of the goddess of liberty
and the eagles attenuated wings are
mere trifes.
This gentleman dropped into the thea
ter on recent evening, and being seized
with desire to ascertain whether the
diamonds worn by the star were genu-
inc, turned toward the opera glass case
attached to the back of the next chair.
He fshed a new dime from his pocket
and was about to drop the same into the
slot, according to established usage.
when he found that his dime would not
enter. Further investigation with other
dimes and slots in the vicinity showed
that the new coinage is a misfit for one
Of its most universal purposes.
q The grave question arises: What is to
be done with the machines when the old
dimes drop out Of circulation? The slot
machine men would do well to have an
understanding with the director of the
mint before any more coinages are pro-

An Ancient PhiIadeIphia Bird.

Poor old Crocky Baldwin, the anti
quated cockatoo at the Geological gar
dens, whose age is variously estimated,
but who is known to be well on to 100
years old, is pining away. Crocky's
days are numbered, and the mournful
old bird seems to realize it. Since his
precarious condition was published some
time ago letters have been received at
the Zoo from all parts of the country
expressing solicitude for the condition
of the aged bird. In many of these
epistles offers of various sums have been
made for Crocky's remains after death
has done its work. These offers range
from five dollars all the way up to fifty
dollars, the latter offer having been re-
ceived from a Boston taxidermist.-

Arrested for Christening.

A curious lawsuit has been instituted
in Shenandoah, Va. A few Sundays ago
the wife of David Jones brought their
infant child to the Episcopal church to
be baptized. Before the ceremony be-
gan Jones arose and exclaimed: "Hold
on! If you christen that child you do it
against the wish and religion of the
father. am an English Baptist" The
wife said it was her wish to have the child
christened and the minister proceeded
with the ceremony. The husband then
had the clergyman arrested under a law
which states that father has the spirit
Pal and educational control of his child
until it arrives at the age of maturity.
The case has been sent to court, where it
win be tested. Boston Journal.

An Electric Euuin0.

George Z. Benton, who resides on In.
diana avenue, has discovered an electric
horse. Benton stepped from a street
car at Wabash and Eighteenth street
while the horses were being trotted. He
placed his hand on the flank of one of
the animals, a bay mare, and received a
tremendous shock. The Car was at
tached to a cable train and sped onward.
After it had gone a block Benton re-
turned and experienced succession of
slight shocks, which gradually died
away as the mare became cooler from
standing. Benton then had the mare
trotted up and down the street for ten
minutes. She came back in foam and
was taken at once to the damp ground.
A dozen men then formed hands, first
wetting the soles of their shoes thor
oughly in the horse trough. AS Benton
put his hands on the mare every man
distinctly felt the shock. "Now one
man let go at time," shouted Benton,
and they did so, the shock intensifying
as each man fell out, so that at last, when
the number was reduced to three, the
next man cried out, "Some of you
fellers catch hold again; I can't stand
this"
Mr.. Benton sent the mare trotting
again, and meantime climbed a lamp
post. Another man climbed after him
and caught hold of his hand. He clasped
the post firmly with his legs and gave
his disengaged hand to third man, who
in turn placed his hand on the mares
flank. Benton turned on the gas Jet
and put his index finger on the nozzle of
the jet. Instantly series Of sparks
flashed through the living chain from
the excited horse and the gas blazed up.
Benton was so exhausted by this last ex-
pertinent that he had to be taken down
from the lamp post. The manager of a
dime museum has offered large sum
to the company for the privilege of ex-
hibiting the horse.-Chicago Cor. Kansas

A Brave Man.

Charles Mougenot, 9 young engineer
on board the ireuclad Admiral Baudin,
has just had his right hand amputated
at the Toulon Military hospital as the
result of injuries received in the follow
ing remarkable manner: He was start
ing the engines ON the vessel, in accord
ance with instructions, when his hand
caught in the machinery. To have
withdrawn it at that particular moment
might have caused a serious accident to
the big ironclad and thus have endan-
gered the lives of everybody on board,
With extraordinary courage and sang
froid the brave fellow, who is only TWEEN
ty-one years of age, did not move until
all danger was ayerted, by which time
his hand was literally torn to pieces. He
will be recommended for the military
medal-Galignani Messenger.

To Prevent calamities by Fire.

The first thing which civilized COM
1nunity should require in the erection of
houses which are intended to be used for
hotels and theaters and halls is that they
shall be practically fireproof. If people
are "willing to take the risk" the public
should refuse to permit them to take it.
If proper and reasonable precautions for
safety increase the expense of building
rents may be increased, and the price of
lodging. There need be no fear that
hotel which is known to be practically
freproof will not be amply supported
because its rates are higher that those of
a death trap. Calamities like the burn
ing of the Hotel Royal have become so
common that it is not without serious
apprehension that travellers now enter
their rooms in hotels. The coil of rope
which is supposed to be designed to help
them in direful emergency merely re-
minds them of their peril and of their
probable inability in sudden alarm to
cope with it.-Harper's Weekly.

Hanged and Shot and stiu Alive.

John Cook, a life man, has been re-
leased on q communication. Some nine
years ago Cook perpetrated cold blood
ed murder in Webster county. The
people were so worked up over the mag
nitude of his crime that mob was or
ganized and Cook was taken from the
Jail and hanged to tree. Three shots
were fired into his body, and he was left
swinging and supposedly dead. The
sheriff cut the body down and was sur
prised to see signs of returning life.
Cook recovered, and in view of the
violence he had suffered the judge gave
him life sentence. This was COM
muted some months later by Governor
Thayer to twelve years. He received
three years good time and was released.

Mrs. sraaaas' Peculiar Land Title.

Some moxfhs since the title to the
north side addition to the town of Ham
mond, in Lake county, Ind, one of Chi
cago's suburbs, came into question. The
matter was carried into the courts, and
there it was shown that the land in
which the piece the title to which was
in question, being the northwest quarter
of the southeast quarter Of section
twenty-five, township thirty range
ten, had in 1855 been by patent granted
to s. s. Grannis. There was record of
the sale of the lands in 1857 by one s. w.
Grannis, but no record of any sale by
s. 8. Grannis, or purchase by s. w.
Grannis. So the judge held the title to
the land to be still in S. s. Grannis. A
search to find s. S. Grannis was then in
stituted, and resulted in the location of
one bearing that name in Sidney s.
Grannis, a leading and respected citizen
of Red Wing, Mimi.
Now it happened that Mr.. Grannis
last summer had just completed q genoa
logical record of his family, tracing it
back to the time when the ancestors first
came to this country, and as another
curious coincidence the initials SIS. S."
occur in no other name in the whole list
than in that of his. rs. W." is there.
Mr.. Grannis says he feels certain that
the 8. s. Grannis referred to is himself,
and he accounts for the land being in
his name in this way: Early in the fifties
one Clark Tillinghast, for whom he had
been working in New York state, went
to Chicago, He was bankrupt, and
being unable to hold land in his name
Mr.. Grannis believes he acquired it in
his (GrannisO name, knowing that, in
case he should ever be in position to use
it, Mr.. Grannis would quitclaim it to
him.5Cor. Chicago Tribune.

One of the principal Arguments ad-
vanced in favor of deer forests is that
those who are able to indulge in that
luxury spend much money in the High
lands. But. how if sportsmen insist on
maintaining forest grounds and never
visit them? Mr.. Winans, whose sport
ing territory extends from the Beauty
Firth to the Atlantic-from sea to sea,
in fact-has not shot over the land once
during the past four years, and as the
deer have in consequence multiplied
enormously, the crofters of the district
have resolved to- ask the millionaire to
allow them days shooting.
The application is doubtless made
more with the view of bringing the
crofters' grievances before the public
than anything else, for it is sure to be
ignored. But the continued absence of
Mr.. Winans raises a wider and more
important question: Can the setting
aside of a great stretch of country as
deer forests which are never shot over
be justified on any ground whatever
