"a man soon gets cured Of many long
cherished traditions respecting the
cost Of things in Europe by a little bit
OF personal contact with old world in
stitutions," said Col. W. G. Chapman,
OF San Francisco. II had an Idea un-
til I soiourned abroad this summer
that the cost of living was much cheap

American city. To my sorrow, | found

ZIG WARS CAUSED BY TR.FLES

A Shaven Chin Cost France 3,OOO,.
600 Lives and 800 Years of Strife.
Many times it has happened that {
great and costly war has been brought
about by an incident trivial and even
ridiculous, says Answers. Thus the
war Of the Spanish succession Is said
to have been caused through a glass
Of water. A lady, Mrs. Masham, was
carrying glass Of water, when she was
obstructed by the Marquis de Torey. a
slight scuf1e ensued and the water was
spilled. The marquis thereat took Of.
fense, and bad feeling ensued between
the English and French courts, with the
ultimate result that war was declared
The campaign cost France many severe
battles, viz, Blenheim, 1104; Families:
l7O7; Oudenarde, 1708, and MalplaQuet
.709.
Quite as absurd in its origin was the
war that took place during the common
wealth Of Modeaa. A soldier stole q
bucket from a public we'll belonging to
the State Of Bologna. Although the
value OF the article did NO. exceed a
1uarter, its annexation was the signal
Tor fierce and prolonged war. Henry,
the King Of Sardinia, assisted the Mo-
aenese to retain the bucket and in one
If the subsequent battles he was made
4 prisoner. The bucket is still exhibit
I'd in the tower Of the Cathedral Of Mo-
lena.
A third instance Of q war resulting
rom trihing cause was that between
Louis VII. Of France and Henry II. OF
England The Archbishop Of Rouen
iecreed that no one should wear long
aair upon their heads or chins. Louis

SIX WEEKS IN THE WATER.
4 Hospital Patients Prolonged Bath
and tn q Success Which Attended It.

| 4 Hospital Patients Prolonged Bath
and the Success Which Attended 1t.
George Hennessy, who had been i'm.
| nersed In water for six weeks, was ta-
! zen out Tuesday evening, says the st
louis Republic. he declared that he
'elt like fish that had just been land
ID and said he was much more comfort
,ble under water than he was out Of It,
He Is patient at the city hospital and
vas suffering from particularly Ylru'
ent abscess which had formed on his
oGck. When he was taken to the hos
,ital it became necessary to wash the
| lbscess so often that DIR. Marks de-
.ided that the best way to treat him
vas to put him in bathtub and have
stream Of water flow over the sore
Ill the time. At first Hennessy wanted
% get out Of the tub, but In few days
le became as comforta bic as could be
expected and did not object. A large
portion of his body was Under water
learly all the time, and the afflicted
,art has been constantly under water
or six weeks. The temperature OF the
water was regulated so that II was the
,ame heat as that of his blood, and II
ast Hennessy actually enjoyed his ex'
3erience. Last night he said that he
.ould not 20 to sleep without hearing
he ripping Of water as usual DR..
Heine Marks says the experiment has
been an eminently successful one, ror
he man has almost recovered and Is
able to walk about. When he was taken
% the hospital he could hardly stand.
DR.. Marks at that time asked him II he
was accustomed to bathing regularly,
and Hennessy truthfully replied that he
vas not.
81 think I'll give you BATH" said DE-
Marks. and he gave him one Which
asted six weeks.
The object in keeping Hennessy Il
the water all the time was to nave the
sore kept clean all Of the time and 10
keep down the fever, which destroyed
the tissues. The case is novel one
and will doubtless inaugurate neW
method Of treating abcesses, although
he French surgeons atthe Bicetre have
,dopted a cure somewhat similar to
his one.

BEGUN SEVEN CENTURIES Aoa
The Feudal Service Performed Year1
by the Corporation Of London.

The Ecuoal service Ser1Ormeo 1 1e9xl!
by the Corporation Of London.
A curious and ancient ceremonial, o.
quit rent service, annually performed
by the City Of London corporation, as
tenants Of certain crown lands situated
near Bridgeport, In Shropshire, took
place at the royal court Of justice In
the office Of the Queens Remem-
brancer, q. F. Pollock, says the Illus
trated London News. It was formerly
done in open court, before the cursitor
baron Of the exchequer, whose Office
became extinct in 1855. The land In
question, still officially described as "a
piece Of waste ground called The
Moors,'" Is now small farm at Eard-
ington, about two miles from Bridge
worth. The feudal service by which
It has been held during seven centuries
ut least is the act Of cutting asunder
two fagots of wood, one with hatchet,
the other with billhook. 1t has been
conjectured that, upon some occasion,
when one Of the old kings, Norman or
Flantagenet, was hunting In the neigh
borhood he was saved from imminent
danger, occasioned by the fierce on
slaught Of an infuriated bear, by the
timely arrival and assistance Of 6
sturdy yeoman who was cutting fag-
OTIS. The king may have rewarded the
rlan with a perpetual grant Of the
Mora" the moor or waste Of land,
upon condition Of his coming yearly
to the royal court and presenting cou-
pie Of fagots cut open In the presence
Of the kings official representative.
The earliest recorded notices Of this
tenure occurs in roll Of Ser5eanties
Of Ii John, 1211. The property after
ward passed to the city corporation OF
London. The ceremony on Oct. 22
Of last year was performed by the city
solicitor, who was accompanied by
the secondary Of the City Of London
and several other officers Of the cor
poration. Proclamation was first made,
calling upon the tenants and occupiers
Of tho land to come forth and do serv-
Ice. Another act Of similar character
was Immediately afterward performed
by the city solicitor, for a plot OF
ground in the parish Of St. Clements

soil will commence during the day. The
dogs, over 100 in number, and some of
them the most celebrated dogs in Amer
ica, are now here. There are plenty of
jack rabbits and the sport will be inn
mense. A trial was made Sunday Of
dogs that had never before seen
festive Dakota jack rabbit, and the
untamed deniZens of the plains gave
the dogs the go by in double quick time.
A California sportsman who witnessed
the run and who has four of the best

marked that if that was the style of the
Dakota jack rabbit he might as well
take his dogs home There are over 100
dogs here, not including Aberdeen dogs.

Three Stables and Twenty-one Horses
Destroyed at Mankato.
MANKATo, Mimi, Oct. Three
barns were set on fire during the night,
in which 81 horses were burned. The
Washington House barn was first set.
A few blocks west a barn belonging to
the r. F. Jones estate, and further west
the Minneopa House barn, in which
were IL horses, was fired. The Wash
ington House barn burned nearly to the
ground, with three horses, two of which
were PAGERS belonging to J. J. Gould.
One thousand dollars insurance was on
this. The Minneopa House barn be-
longed 10 Dr. Warner and was recently
bought by him. Eighteen horses were
here burned, belonging mostly to farm
ers 1t is thought the barns were all
fired by the same person.
The fourth alarm was turned in about
midnight. The department responded
Immediately to find a small blaze in a
pile of straw in the barn belonging to
Mrs. Addie Rice at 9O9 South Front
street. 1t was quickly put out by the
department. The people are very much
excited and will make it warm for the
firebug, if he can be discovered.

ST. PAUL, Oct. 1.-Sheriff Briggs of
Barnes county, N. D., was in town a
few hours and spent most of the time
with Chief Clark. The sheriff told
some tall stories about the crop of hobos
in the Northwest this year. There are
thousands of them, and they came out
to prey upon the honest harvest hand
and the farmer The Mecca toward
which their faces are now turned, it is
said, is St. Paul and Minneapolis.
The advance guard of this great army
Of disreputables has already reached
the city. Their reception at the hands
Of the police has been warm, and the re-
ception that the rest will get will be
still warmer. If fact, as Chief Clark
puts it, "things will be so hot that they
will move on without being told to-"
Those who do not will stay at the work
house, if they stay at all. A number of
special officers have been detailed to
watch all newcomers. If they do not
heed the injunction to move on they
may invoke the mercy of the municipal
court judges.
