4 COINCIDENCE IN CIPHERS.

tr ON the Chicago Tribune.
A clever young writer was in the
habit of composing riddles and
puzzle rhymes for the benefit of two
of his girl friends. Becoming ex-
pert in guessing them, they asked
for something harder, when he sent
them the following:
When you ask a harder question:,
To unriddle your suggestions;
| am sure, itself suggests its answer plain.
1t has puzzled many sages
or many lands and ages,
But no doubt you will not tackle it in vain.
1t will be een that, by taking the
first letter Of the first line, the
second of the next, and so on for
FIVE, the word "woman" is made.
They deciphered this, and to the
puzzle makers unbounded astonish-
ment, pointed out to him the further
fact, which they had discovered,
that the letters Immediately follow
ing formed the word "hussy.n In
writing it he intended it only to
contain ''woman," and had nc idea
that he was hiding the other word
in a similar manner. When we
consider the chances against any
word being accidentally formed in
such a way, and the infinitely greater
chances against such a word being
an opprobrious synonyme for the
word Intentionally concealed, the
fortutitous combination Of the letters
forming the second word must be
regarded as a very extraordinary
coincidence and one worthy of note
in these days of arguments deduced
from ''literary ciphers."

4 SHORT TALK ON ADVERTISING

most all l-en are truthful.

lying advertisements. They NAV

,e, they can't all be right, but
that is merely a form of words.
Really it doesn't mean much of
anything, either to the writer or the
reader, and SO does no harm, except
that it wastes valued space in the
paper.
The advertisement that pays best
is the plain, honest, forceful talk,
written just as if the writer was
talking to the reader face to face, a
statement of facts. There is nothing
in the world SO interesting as facts
especially the facts of business.
They should be written about
entertainingly. People like to know
how and when things are made

RETROGRESSION

From the Detroit Tribune.
A large company was gathered
at the table d'hote, as is usual in
the modern romance.
The large lady had just troubled
the beld gentleman for the vine
gar.
"No," she was saying, "woman
will not go backward"
Except when she gets off q

who had been hitherto silent.

AN ANIMAL YOU CANNOT KILL

From the Globe Democrat.
The most remarkable creature in
the world is the hydra. 1t does not
amount to much physically, for it is
nothing but a sack, open at one end
and fastened by the other to a stone,
but it is almost impossible to kill it.
Turn a hydra inside out and it will
get along just as well as before.
Trembley, the French naturalist, cut
hydras In slices, and each, in a few
days, became q full-grown animal.
He grated them, and produced mon
sters with six mouths and only one
body. He divided them longitudin-
ally, and produced a cluster of hy-
dras. He found this creature is
superior even to decomposition, for
when q part of a hydra's body de-

THE DINNER WAS A SUCCESS.

Octave Thanet.
A western woman was once trans
planted by her husbands success
from a small town on the prairies to
the most exclusive society of a great
city on the seaboard. She was a
handsome creature, with a warm
heart, a quick wit and courage
quicker than her wits. She studied
the manners and speech about her.
"And when I didn't know the right
thing to say, l kept STILL" said she.
Finally, the time came for her first
dinner party. She had looked for

For a second she stood silent,
seeing her guests faces surrounding
the startled and mortified features
of her husband, like a crowd OF

ditions an IA Missouri Girl.
A strange case that is attracting the
attention of and puzzling the local doc
tors of Kansas City is that of Lillian
Miller, a girl of IL years, who has IN
dergone a most remarkable change with
in the past year. About q a ago Lii.
liam was n slight girl, of extreme nerv.
Gus disposition. She had "a fainting Git
at that time which the attending ply.
stefan attributed to nervousness. From
that time on the fainting spells grew
frequent until finally they took the
form of commissions. and with tl.is
change came one that was wonderful to
n degree.
The child, when out Of the convul-
sions, complained OF much pain and
acted as a child of her age would natural
". During the commissions and immc-
diately after she appeared to become an
other person. She took OH the appear.
ance of a very old woman in speech and
manner. She would converse rs an old
woman and give advice to those around
her. She claimed to be 80 years old aud
did not know those of the family who
were with her. This peculiar condition
lasts for an hour or SO, and then sho re-
turns to her normal condition. These
changes have become frequent until
now she about equally divides her time
between the two conditions.
Another strange feature Of the case
is the fact that while she is in her nor
NAL condition she eats very little and
apparently has no appetite. When she
takes on the secondary condition, she
eats heartily, and during the last three
months has grown to the stature and
development of a woman While she is
in the condition of an old woman she
says she is without pain and is perfectly
we'll. She. says she knows of no one
who is named Lillian Miller, but insists
that she is very old. She uses language
and recitos poetry far beyond the abili-
ty of a little girl.
Drs. G. D. and Park Mcdonald, her
attending physicians, are well known.
and they have had in consultation with
them DIR. J. Brnmmel Jones, who makes
a study of ervou and mental diseases.
The parents are anxious that the scien-
tiflc world may investigate the case.-

THE MOUNTAIN LkeoRED.
And 1t Brought Forth CCath and Desola-

And 1t Brought Forth CCath and Desola-
ton To u State of Columbia
About IL miles from the town of
Rio Blanco, state of Cauca, Colombia, a,
remarkable geological phenomenon has
recently created great excitement. A
mountain ridge, called Cerror dc Cruz
Iona, suddenly cast u large part of its
upper levels into ~neighboring rivers,
carrying death and destruction in its
wake.
For some days before prolonged sub
terranean soulids-a sort of hoarse rum
bling and roaring-were heard, indicat-
ing that something serious was about to
occur. and on the date mentioned the
upper part of the hill suddenly caved
in, the enormous quantity of earth de-
scending to and o~bstructing the course
of the rivers Guachicono, Moline and
others. 1t is feared that the overflow of
the rivers will occasion an extensive in
undation, or that, breaking away the
earth dam, whole villages and valuable
properties will be destroyed. As an i'm
mediate result of this occurrence 12 per-
O II were killed, besides q large num-
Der of horses and cattle.
1t seems only natural to attribute this
phenomenon to the eruption of the So
tara volcano, which for some time has
been observed to be covered with snow
like vapor and clouds. The department
tai government, justly alarmed by this
occurrence, has appointed a commission
of engineers to investigate the matter.
