An exchange says that smooth pat.
ent right swindling scheme is being
worked in some of the states. A man
comes to farmer with patent wagon
tongue for which great claims are
made. He has only that one county
left and will sell the right for two
hundred and fifty dollars. A few days
later, while the farmer is thinking
over the matter, another man comes
along, who has learned that the farmer
has the right to the valuable invention,
and offers him four hundred dollars for
it. paying him ten dollars down. The
farmer at once goes and closes the deal
with the first party, giving his note or
cash for the two hundred and fifty dol
lars. In the meantime the second man
disappears and the two schemers meet
and "divy." If note. it is discounted

The hunters, numbering about thirty,

A FRENCH BABY,

Legal ,Formalities on the Birth Of .
Possible Soldier.
The birth of a new citizen in France
at once gives rise to countless formali-
ties and an avalanche of legal scrib-
blings, which would teach him. could
he but understand, that his country Is
par excellence the home of legal cere-
Century. Within the first twenty-four
hours notice of the birth must be sent
to the mayors Office there is such an
Office in every village in Franco. SO
that the official physician may call and
make the necessary legal statement.
| suppose he wants to convince himself
that the declaration already made Is
correct, and that the family, when it
announced the birth of girl, was not
trying to screen future soldier from
his compulsory service. Then the
father. accompanied by two witnesses,
goes to fill out the birth certificate and
gives his child its legitimate, docu-
mented position, to which he or she
will be obliged to have recourse in all
the great. and frequently in the minor,
circumstances Of life, from one end of
it to the other. Without it the child
could not enter school, nor draw lots
on entering the army, nor get married,
nor be buried. The least mistake of
form would have most serious conse-
quences; the baptismal names declared
must always be placed in the same
order on all future deeds. These are
usually saints names. I recall the
amusing anger Of young American
father Of my acquaintance who wished
to give his son born in Paris the name
of the great sailor Duquesne, in re-
membrance Of the avenue where the
baby had seen the light of day, and.
in addition, the family name of one Of
his friends, which no Frenehman
could pronounce. All this seemed SO
shocking and incongruous to the regis
trar that the certificate was made out
only after interminable discussion.

entity it crept out of sight, and there

of desperate conflict.
"The puma and the jaguar are sworn
enemies, and the two great beasts were
having a battle to the finish. The bat
tie lasted for some time. but near
morning the puma, sorely wounded,
crept through the grass and croucheo
down beside my daughter, purring ike
a cat. The creature seemed so friend
ly that Ethel ventured to stroke his fur
with her hand, whereupon the puma
began to play and roll about like a kit
ten. When we rode up the puma
crouched over her body and began to
growl. Several rifles were leveled at
the head Of the brute, but Ethel begged
us not to shoot, and from that day to
this the two have been inseparable.

HlNpOo DOCTORS.

And Their Peculiar Method Of Treating
the Sick.
The doctor in India, or the bald"
as he is called, is not like the physician
of any other country, says an exchange.
He is a peculiar genius who acts in a
peculiar way. If well-to-do Hindoo
merchant becomes ill with fever he
usually fasts three or four days, scarce
ly even touching water standing by his
bed. His relatives become alarmed.
but the merchant refuses to have the
bald called, in the hope that two or
three more days Of fasting will cure
him. A gray-haired neighbor counsels
the sick man not to take any drugs at
this stage. Let the fever run as high
as it can is the advice given, and fur
Their fasting should be INDUCED in. The
fasting does not seem to do the pa
tient any good, so the doctor is finally
called. The bald has reputation as a
f'rst-class physician. The family be-
lieves that II any man can snatch
sick man from the grasp Of death it is
the bald. This man Of medicine is con-
WINGED that all European doctors are
but a farce. He will admit their su-
periority in surgery: but then, in his
belief. surgery is not the function Of
a learned doctor. The brothers of a
sick man, after great deal of entreaty,
manage tc get the bald to accompany
them. Arriving at the patients house
he enters the sick mans room and
sits beside him with a great deal of
dignity and composure. The servant
offers him the "hookah" "a smoking
apparatus similar to that used by the
Turks) About ten minutes spent in
smoking, he feels the patients pulse
and finds he has a very high fever. The
bald then takes piece Of paper, writes
on it few mysterious words, orders a
simple diet of lentl soup, gives the
sick man two small black pills to
swallow, takes another pull of about
five minutes at the hookah, leaves the
mysterious prescription behind him
and departs without giving any further
instruction. The patient may get bet
ter or possibly he may die. most likely
the latter. The Indian doctor finds his
profession a sorry one. The highest
fee for the complete cure Of rich man
is about SO. Some Of the balds, how
ever, have been known to effect won
derful cures, where the best European
doctors have completely failed. A case
Is recorded Of European afflicted with
asthma, who derived but little benefit
from the treatment Of his own coun-
trymen. When his case had been pro-
nounced hopeless by the best English
physicians Hindoo doctor gave him
a few black pills, which brought about
a complete cure in very short time.
The European offered a fabulous price
for the secret remedy, but the old bald
refused all offers. The bald will never
reveal the secret Of his remedies, for it
would cost him his caste, and caste
In India is all in all.

GATEWAYS FOR STREETS.
Noble and Stately Structures That Add t
the Beauty of st. Louis.

Noble and Stately Structures That Add to
the Beauty Of st. Louis.
A new idea is being exploited in St.
Louis. 1t is nothing less than the
marking of street at one or both of
its extremities by formal gateway of
stone or brick, suggesting to some ex-
tent the gate lodge of a great estate.
1t Is known in Paris, where the stately
Rue Monceau is entered through an
iron gateway Of some pretensions to
monumental character. London can
claim to have used the motive also in
Kensington Palace Gardens, and any
traveller who has driven through these
French or English portals will recall
the sense of dignity and privacy which
they conveyed, the distinction which
they impaired to the entire neighbor-
hood. Here in America, says the New
York Tribune. that distinction has
seemed beyond US, chiefly because of
lack OF space. 1t requires wide thor
oughfare to begin with. To shut up
the ends of narrow street would be
absurd, spelling the horizon and Great
80 SA~@APSN AOOh, WuClV Vu0 VI
breadth is to be desired.
For, given a wide street, nothing
more monumental than a big gateway
at the end can be imagined. 1t joins
the two sides; 1t gives them unity; it
makes a whole that has an architecture
al importance and even grandeur which
nothing else will secure.
What is especially interesting in the
st. Louis experiment is that It creates
at points where ordinarily we would
look for no art whatever little centers
OF artistic attractiveness. That is a
most refined and stately screen Of base.
