In France, - In some other coup-

but would rather IL should Be- done

Baron Haussmann, having been made

hedge.
But the hedge was dear to It's owner,
and he Game In passion to the sub.
project, declaring that he would sta
tion himself with q gun behind 1t, and
the first man who touched it would be
sorry.
T1e Official answered him in the
mildest manner.
Nobody will put scythe to the
hedge without your consent" said he.
The householder thought he had
won q great victory, but the next day
he saw q surveyor setting line OF
stakes straight through the finest part
Of his vineyard. He ran to Baron
Haussmaun.
well, SIR" said the sub-prefect,
since you will not let me touch your
hedge, have no choice but to take
possession of your estate, and instead
Of reducing the curve. ] shall make
the road straight, which in one way, OF
course, will be much better. But am
sorry for you. and should think you
would rather let me do as first in

The householder thought so, too. At
Baron Haussmanns suggestion he
went away for fortnight, and when
he came home and found the road
Strengthened and the damages all re-
paired, he became one of the new OH

The Parrots Memory,

Parrots not only remember, but rec

there is missing link in a train of as
ISOLATION, and purposely endeavor to
pick it up. Thus, for instance, the
late lady Napier tells of an interest
ing series Of observations on this point
which she made upon an intelligent
parrot of her own. Taking such a
phrase as "Old Dan Tucker" the bird
would remember the beginning and
the end, and try to iecollect the mid

was not right it would try again as be-
fore: "Old-old = old-old Bessy Tuck
er." substituting one word after an.
other in the place of the sought-for
word Dan" And that the process was
one of truly seeking for the desired
word was proved by the fact that If,
while the bird was saying "old-old-
old-old," any one threw in the word
Dan" he Immediately supplied the

1t invol es points whicE, II tho prose-

I'll Is are going To make great fight,
AMI op osed 10 the n ard equally de-
terminod 0 the doctors. Back Of it
all Is the death by consumption OF q
yo ing woman named Sadie bell, OF
Riverton.
Sadie began to cough about ten
moths ago. A PHI sieian was con-
suit an declared the girl to he in
the ea'ly stages OF consumption. He
thought 1t possible for her to be cured
provided the closest attention was
ri on to her medically. { ne of Sadie's
ricnds, hcaring of her illness. sent
Mrs. Bessie 4. Glenn. q Christian
scienti-t, 10 her, and after one sitting
with tho girl the latter was 80 i'm
pres ed with q belief in the woman's
power that she tod her parents they
had better toll the physician not to
call again. This they did and Sadie
I und herself solel, in the hands of
the woman.
Saaie's cough grew worse. But still
she hal ia tn III Mrs Glenn and that
woman intimatcl tn she should have

declared that she never took money.
In AL So was given her, sadie all the

and when tho local physician was APP
lealed To he refused, as ii was not his
case and 10 Sadie's death had to be
repoi ted to the coroner. In New Jer-
sey there is a law which provides that
q person who practices faith cure or
under the guise OF Christian science
attempts to make cures by religious
means, commits q crime and must be
punished by not less than thirty days
hail nor-lsss than 500 fine. SO when
the facts of the case came to
the knowledge OF the jurymen, they
were but short time coming to the
conclusion that Sadie Fell would have
lived longer had re Iular physician
been employed and having proof that
Mrs. Glenn was u practic,ny Christian
Scientist she was held in bail to await
the action Of the grand jury.
When her case comes up in court
