AN eastern physician was compelled
to pay patient 100000 for revealing a
professional secret. 1t was his wife, to
whom he told the secret, that COM
municated it to the outside world. A
wife, it seems, is sometimes very ex-
pensive luxury. But we could not get
along without the dear things, after all.

ENGLISH cycling papers are doing
their utmost to show that American
bicycles are not sold on English soil,
but the recent export of wheels and
sundries for one week from New York
alone and to Great Britain exclusively,
amounted to $4,000, which shows that
there is an evident demand i'm that
country for bicycles of American manu-
facture, and that American wheels are
not absolutely useless for English terri
tory, as some British papers claim.

Animals FeigninE Death.

from the CnlcagO News.
There are many of the lower animals
that feign death when 1t serves their pur-
pose to do So Creatures as low in the
scale as microscopic animalcules will. when
surprised by an enemy, pretend that they
are dead. There is a fresh-water worm
which, when approached by giant water
beetle, makes use of this stratagem: It will
be swimming along. when suddenly it will
hang limp and threadlike. the sport Of the
currents and waves. The reason for this
peculiar action Is the approach of one Of
the beetles. After the beetle disappears
the worm comes to life. Grubs and cater
pillars feign death. A naturalist watched q
caterpillar one day which accidentally fell
into little sandy pit. Every time 1t at
tempted to climb Up the side of the pit 1t
fell back, dragging with 1t quantity Of
sand. 1t tried all sides, and finally when
almost up dislodged a corn cob, which fell
into the pit. dragging the caterpillar. The

to life and successfully crawled away. The
black viper and tree moccasin snakes have
the habit of feigning death. A wonderful
piece of acting was witnessed by man
who was teasing a black viper. The snake
suddenly rose bent over, bit itself In the
back, shuddered and stretched out for dead.
The man sat down and watched it. In
about fifteen minutes it woke up and sour
ried away. This snake is called the suicide
snake by farmers, who insist that 1t poi
