A Puzzled Author.
THE TOURIST.

The San Francisco Argonaut tells an
amusing story about Alphonse Daudet
When he brought ont "Sappho, an Amer
lean publishing house that issues religious
books, not knowing it's character, offered
M. Daudet large sum for advance sheets
of the work. He accepted the offer, and
the advance sheets were sent. When the
publishers received them, they decided that
they could not issue the book, and they
cabled to the author, 'Sappho' will not
do This dispatch puzzled Daudet. He
consulted with numbers of friends, and
this was the conclusion at which they
eventually arrived: "Sappho" In French
is spelled with one "p"-" Sapho, after
the Greek fashion. In English it is spelled
with two. An unusually acute friend
pointed this out to Daudet, which much
relieved the novelist, and he oabled back
to the publishers, "Spell it with two p's."
1t is needless to state that the publishers
were more astonished at Daudet's reply
than he had been at their cable dispatch.

A MUNICIPAL WRANOLE.

Attempts to make an agreeable mixture
of oil and water are not considered profit
able, and are now rarely INDUCED in ex-
cept by politicians. Experience counts
for little when expedients are sought for.
The city government of Central Falls is
suffering from political situation-it will
not mix. The oil, it is claimed by many
citizens respected in that city, is repre-
sented by the mayor, who is an excellent
article; the water is alleged by the same
authority to be Extensively stagnant, and
consists of the Board of Aldermen and a
few pools which run into that body. The
result is such a picnic as monkeys and
parrots are supposed to indulge in, the
combatants boing encouraged by few
political ostriches that traditionally be-
lieve their bodies to be hidden because
their heads are in the mire.

We know we'll enough that ants are

last discovery about them is perhaps

Richard Wilson of Elizabothport, N.

evening with q monster swordfish that
attacked him while he was swimming
in the Raritan river.
Wilson had been for some minutes in
the water and was crossing the stream
leisurely when something shot past his
body, and the next instant the blade of
a swordfsh pierced his right ankle
The weapon of the angcred fish passed
through the flesh and protruded from
the other side. With cry of agony the
young man clutched at the writhing
creature, but every movement added to
the terrible pain and increased the flow
Of blood, which rapidly discolored the
water. Several times Wilson was drawn
under water, bat each time returned,
fighting bravely to dislodge his assail-
ant.
Wilson'S cries and struggles attracted
some men who were Oh the shore. They
went to his assistance and with oars
and boat hooks managed to drive the
fish off. but net before it had. inflicted
several other wounds Oh Wilson's leg as

no such thing as freedom of the press in
Japan. Whenever newspaper publishes
something unfriendly to the government

the Japanese call dummy editor. and it
Is his sole duty to go to jail every time the

it. Dummy editors spend most of their
