expense, have the brand cut out and
new skin grated in it's place. And thus

HE HAD TOO MUCH CHEEK.
And a voracious Young Woman R~
lieved Him Of a Por ion.

John Savoy, Of Red Oak, Ia, has
forever eschewed womanlind, mainly
because a cannibahstc specimen of
womankind recently chewed Savoy.
1t seems that the festive John was
on his way to pastures new in Okla
homa. Shortly after his arrival he
encountered an apparently friendly
female, and together they wendell
their way to a wine room. After in
dulging somewhat in the flowing
bowl, the '1ady" demanded some
coin. This John was not willing to
give. ooh, you dear, you darling,
you duck; now ] just know you are
going to ante up, aren't you~ queried
the new-found friend, to which John
replied, in Iowa parlance, Nit"
Thereupon the maiden quietly and
without any fuss bit a good-sized
chunk out Of Johns cheek, and spat
it on the floor, after which she i'm
mediately took her departure to parts
unknown. John was inconsiderate
enough to yell when he felt those
pearly teeth going through his buc-
cinator muscle, with the result that
he was promptly elected by the bar
tender. John retreated, but pres
emily reappeared with reinforce
ments in the person of policeman,
A brave charge was made on the OBJ
streperous bartender, and the lost
piece of anatomy was finally recov-
cred.
Carrying the gripsack in one hand,
and the detached piece of his iowl in
the other, he sought the city dis
pensary. To Dn Newcomb he prof
fered the simple request that he
should reunite the two parts of his
cheek, for he declared that they had
a mutual attachment for each other,
and disliked to be separated. Much
as DR.. Newcomb would have liked
to grant this favor, he was unable to
do so, owing to the length of time
that had elapsed since the playful
caress of the departed maiden before
the man reached the dispensary. In
asmuch as this time was mostly con-
sumed in an effort on Johns part to
convince the bartender of his right
and title to the detached portion of
his anatomy, John naturally feels ag-
grieved and departed for the Union
station, declaring his everlasting
hatred of women in general and ST.
Louis in particular All DR.. New
comb could do was to sew up the hole
in the mans cheek, and thus enable
him to express his feelings with prop
er emphasis. He will be disfgured

SCIENCE OF THE MOSQUITO
That Much Maligned Creature the
Friend of Humanity.

Friend of Humanity.
There are four truths respecting
the mosquito which modern science
has established:
First-A mosquito cannot live in
air free from malarial poison. I'm
tainted air has the same effect on him
as healthy community on doctor.
1t deprives him of patients, and he
must 90 to less favored localities to
practice his profession.
Second-The lymph, which flows
through an automatic valve when it
inserts its proboscis, contains a mod
flied germ of the malarial fever, and,
according to the well-settled law of
incubation, the introduction of the
weak germ renders harmless a sub
sequent attack by the strong germ.
Third-The mosquito never swal-
lows human blood. 1t cannot. The
fact that its body becomes discolored
and swells, while probing, is caused
by the discoloration of the lymph in
contact with the blood and the mus
cular effort of inserting the probe.
Fourth-A mosquito will never in
sert its lancet in a person not sus-
ceptible to an attack Of malaria. In
this respect its sense is more accurate
than the most skilled and experienced
pathologist This also proves, not
only its unerring instinct, but that it
never wounds unnecessarily. It's
thrusts are those of a skilled and hu-
name surgeon, and even more un-
selfish, for hope of fee never quick,
ems him, nor does the maledictior
of his patient deter him in the full,
fllment of his duty.
Remember, then, that the presence
of mosquito is an infallible sign thai
malaria is in the air, and that you
are exposed to it, and when you heal

Tailless Rabbits.

In a part of the proceedings of the
Biological society Of Washington,
Just issued, Dr. G. II. Merriam de-
scribes a very remarkable small,
short-eared, tailless rabbit. which has
recently been discovered on Mount
Popocatepetl, in Mexico, at the height
of about 10000 feet This singular
animal, which, instead of moving by
leaps, like an ordinary rabbit, runs
about on all-fours in the grass of the
mountain, has been named by DIR.

The Task Undertaken by Greece's
New Premier Is Serious.

Demetrius Ralli. the Grecian hero of
the hour, is by far the greatest man in
Athens to-day. He has supplanted NJ.
Delyannis as premier, and his counsels
are more respected among the populace
than those of the king himself. The
truth IS that Ralli, suddenly arisen to
power in the feverish feeling that now
prevails in Greece. stands first and
foremost with the people, and it is said
that his commands are respected even
at the palace itself. Ralli is the man to
whom all Greece is looking at the pres

A CURIOUS WILL CASE.
Testator Was Insane and His Friends
Did Not Know II.

The probate court has had before
5t one Of those cases, plain to lawyers,
but puzzling to psychologists, which
has never ceased to recur since wills
existed and mental capacity has been
CLOSELY studied. A shrewd man of
business, who has accumulated a
small fortune and is perfectly able to
take care Of it, makes a will which on
the face of it shows no trace OF IN
trinity in the testator. His solicitor
sees him in the course of preparing
the will, and thinks his client entirely
sane. He often meets his client aft
,er the will is executed, and he sees
no reason to consider anything seri-
4ously amiss with his mental condi-
ton. Of one delusion--the notion
harbored by his client, Mr.. Hounsell,
that he was the son of the late Lord
aOnslow-the solicitor became aware.
But, later, Mr.. Hounsell said that he
had forgotten about it; and he left
ON his solicitor the impression that
he was sensible, shrewd, and level
headed.
When, however, his papers we're ex-
amined at his death, it was found that
his mind had long been honeycombed
with gross and wild delusions. He
believed that he was related to the
date Lord Onslow, and he had been
engaged in voluminous correspond
eence on this subject with members
aof the royal family, prime ministers,
and public men of all sorts. lie was
aInder the impression that he had had
"A quarrel with Prince Christian, and
that many members Of the aristocracy
mad set their minds upon his not OBJ
tanning the Onslow estates until he
aapologized. His life had been saved,
ne believed, by a favorite horse, which
never failed to lash out at those who
would have murdered him. His de-
1usions seemed to have increased and
multiplied. OF Lord Salisbury, he
wrote: 81 am told he is my cousin"
In another letter he remarked: 81
have been informed that am related
ITO members of the royal family" He
penned letters to the queen and the
prince Of Wales, asking pardon for
supposed offenses; and he believed
that attempts were being made to
bring about a marriage between him
self and Miss Mary Anderson.
For years, it was clear, he had har-
bored the rankest and grossest de-
Husions, but he had kept them locked
mp in his breast. Rarely were those
about him permitted to detect what
were, it is now revealed, his abiding
fantasies. We do not wonder that
Sir Francis Jeune refused to recog-
nize the will Of Mr.. Hounsell-from
,one point of view q sensible man Of
business, from another hopeless lu-
matte. Nor is it to be doubted that
she president did wisely in refusing
TO order payment out Of the estate
of the cost of executors who had De-
fore them a mass of correspondence
HILL of unequivocal marks Of insanity.
The interest in the case is that in
many respects the testator was per
fectly sane, and that the scope Of the
will was unobiectidnable, except so
far as it passed over relatiyes.-Lon-
don Times.

class, but who gave no outward ap-

no azure blue halo visible, nor was she

her pardon. With slight inclination
of the head, she replied:

L have no doubt my face looked
little blank with astonishment, but
the expression on that young mans

Peculiar Bill Now Pending IN the
Kentucky Legislature.
There was recently introduced In
the kentucky Legislature bill provid-
ing for the branding of all burglars
who we're committed to the penal insti-
tuti0as Of the state. The measure di-
reefs that all such convicts shall have
the latter "i]" branded on both checks
during their Incarceration. The pur-
pose of the father Of the bill is to sepa-
rate criminals from honest men.
Its probable fate is a problem. It
has many supporters and many
enemies. Chief among the latter are
the oprimists who believe that GRIMM
as can and will reform under properin-
fluences and circumstances In such
instances, they claim, the branding

American Dressmakfne.

Felix says American dressmakers
make better dresses than the French
dressmakers, put better materials into
them, fit them just as well, sew them
better, and then. he says, spoil them
by too much SeWing-tOo much Of what
I can't translate better than calling it
Observation-Disclosures" The French study
effects, and let the details take care of
themselves. But they pay great deal
of attention to details of one sort, If not
those of another. The Frenchwoman
doesn't care whether the stuff is cheese
cloth or satin, side-plaited or gathered,
so long as it makes her look we'll, but
she dotes on having her lingerie, her
gloves, her shoes, her wells, her entire
outfit, perfectly au fat.
The French mind adores elegancies.
It goes into raptures over its own de-
vices In garnitures. French WOrkWomen
like to do decorative work in dressmak-
ing, but they hate to finish the inside OF
bodice as our American drcssmakers
feel that they must finish their work.
Anybody who has ever tried to make a
hat or bonnet knows that she not infre-
quently secures a good effect in the trial
arrangement, and spoils it all when the
sewing is done by making it look stiff
and ugly. The French do not believe
in much sewing, and by eschewing as
much of it as they can they do get
graceful, airy effects that are quite
their own.
