Why Lost People Walk in Circles.
From the Toronto Truth. I


The fact that people lost on desert
or in forest invariably walk in a cir
Gle is due to slight inequality in the
length of the legs. Careful measure
ments of a series of skeletons have
shown that only ten per cent. had the
lower limbs equal in length, thirty-five
per cent. had the right limb longer than
the left, while in fifty-five per cent. the
left leg was the longer. The result OF
one limb being longer than the other
will naturally be that person will un-
consciously take longer step with the
longer limb, and consequently will
trend to to the right or to the left, ac-
cording as the left or right is the longer,
unless the tendency to deviation is cor
rected by the eye.
The left leg being more frequently
the longer, as evidenced by measure
ment of the skeleton, the inclination
should take more frequently to the
right than TO the left, and this conclu-
sion is quite borne out by observations
made on a number of persons when
walking blindfolded. Further, on
measurement of the arms, it is found
that in seventy-two per cent. the right
arm is longer than the left, while in
twenty-four per cent. the left arm is
the longer, showing that considera-
Bile majority of persons are right handed
and left legged. The inequality in the
length of the limb is not confined to
any particular sex or race, but seems to
be universal in all respects.

A Boys Essay on Dogs and Cats,

I'd rather have dog than cat any
day. Dogs can race cats, they can race
other dogs, they can race boys or any
thing. Nobody amt scared of cat.
A mouse is; but not if it amt some
where's that it can't get out of, or a rat
either. A dog can make cat dead if
be bites her enough. When he comes
in the yard he can make her tail look
like Chrlstmas-tree. He can make
her fix her back up like camel. /
amt afraid of thieves; but thieves are
afraid Of dogs. If a thief comes where
a dog can get at him he'll run like fun;
but the dog won't run. A dog can
watch house better than policeman.
He won't let the man that owns it
come in the back yard in the middle
of the night, but cat would. If a
man or any other thief was to sneak
in, would cat care? She'd go over
the fence quick. That's what. A dog
knows when you're home from school.
He amt sleepy then. He has fun
with old hats, if you give him one,
You've got to pay for keeping him,
but you don't a cat, because dogs
some good and cat amt. I'd rather
have dog.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-To-night
Governor Tillman and State Treasurer
Bates returned from Baltimore. They
have placed the entire issue of the
State refundment bonds, amounting
to about s., 100000. They had con-

bonds, extending till April 1st, after a
brief conference decided to exercise the
option at once. The papers were all
arranged to-day, and they have few
days in which to put up the necessary
guarantee fund"
Treasurer Bates is much pleased
with the result Of his negotiations.

MARRIED THE OTHER MAN.
What Fellow Lost by Getting Too Much
Rye on Board.
1St. Louis Globe Democrat.

LOUIS
Thrilling romances in which the
bride waits long and anxiously for the
groom are very common, but I was a
witness in one instance that had a
queer ending" said Mrs. Beatrice Mar
shall to friend in the ladies' parlor at
the Lindell hotel. II was visiting
friends in a little town in Northern
Missouri, and accepted their invitation
to accompany them to a quiet little
wedding at neighbor's house, where
we found a crowd admiring the bride,
who was arrayed in all her glory, and
appeared as if she had been SO arrayed
for hours.
"The wedding was to take place at S
o'clock, and being close neighbcrs, my
friends felt at liberty to go about ten
dering their assistance, which was glad
ly accepted. Yet, in spite of the early
hour, the house was already crowded.
The groom was not on hand, which, it
seemed to me, should not have been
matter of surprise, but which to many
of them evidently was, as / could hear
no end of comments on the subject.
When s o'clock came and passed the
surprise became outspoken, and several
oficious friends even went to the bride
and offered many expressions of condo
lence.
"The place was little country viii
lage of only couple of hundred inhab-
itants, where every one knows every
thing even remotely connec'e ed with
every one else, and I overheard several
discussions as to the young lady's good
judgment in accepting a young drug
gist (the expected groon) rather than
a young lawyer, who was present in
sombre garments and looks.
II felt SO sorry for the expectant
bride, who, with fi"shed face and toss
ing curls, tried to appear unconcerned,
that I thought I would find her and
engage her in conversation. I found
her il the hall, but she was talking so
earnestly with the young lawyer that I
did not intrude. I could not help hear
ing him plead his case, and if his future
pleas in court were as earnest there can
be DO doubt as to his subsequent pros
perity.
1.-The old clock struck 8, and, an
nouncing that everything was ready.
the minister, with due solemnity,
united in wedlock the gayly-attired
bride and the plainly dressed but young
lawyer.
"The druggist never gave any ex-
planation Of his failure to appear. 1t
was learred that be was too intoxi-
Gated to attend, and it was said that
the young lawyers friends were re-
sponsible for it, but no one ever knew.'

HABEAS CORPUS GRANTED.
The Administration Wins the Preliminary
Skir,nish in the Railroad War Before
the United States Supreme Court.
Especial to the State.

WASHINGTON, March THE State
has won first blood in the great railroad
war before the United States Supreme
Court. There was great surprise for
every one this morning when the court
announced its decision, and none were
more surprised than the attorneys for
the State. The court has granted what
was asked, and more too; the merits
will be considered.
When the court met, with Justice
Field presiding, Associate Justice Gray
announced the decision of the court on
the application for q writ of habeas cor
pus. It was verbal, and was to the ef-
feet that rule would be issued forth
with, requiring the United States mar
shall to show cause why the sheriffs
should not be released, etc. The rule is
made returnable on March p.
A United States attorney tells me the
court wishes to take up the merits of
Tue WuOlS case.
Attorney General Townsend says it
is a great deal more than they asked
for, and is far better than the writ, for
it provides for a full hearing on the
merits of the whole case. He regards
the action of the court in putting the
matter in this form as very favorable
Indication. The Attorney General says
that every detail will be heard, and, in
his opinion, the question as to the le-
gality Of the tax will be considered in
detail and decided upon, thus putting
an end to all the old Gases, too. He says
he will notify the roads Of the hearing,
and is willing to postpone the time Sc
lected, if they wish it.
1t has been impossible to secure a
copy Of the rule, as the court dots not
make such things public till they are in
printed form. 1t will be mailed to the
Attorney General as soon as possible.
He left for Columbia tonight, accom-
panied by Mr.. Jones. Mr.. Tucker also
returned home tonight.
The Tiilman men here are oveljoyed
at the result of their first effort in the
United States Supreme Court.
