at the hotel where L was stopping, my
home being in another town, but my
practice extending to the county seat |

been charged by girl, TO whom he had
been paying attention, with giving her
measles, she claiming that the disease,
which had been epidemic in the neigh
borhood, had been communicated to her
by kissing her repeatedly while the de-
PENDANT was recovering from measles.

My client pleaded guilty to kissing the
plaintiff, but said he couldn't "a helped

the case before a kind hearted old

Frogs Sing Love Songs.

One of the most extraordinary things
about frog music is the fact that the
frog keeps his mouth closed when he is
singing.
He can sing through his skin. Ho is
provided with pair Of resonant cham
bers like drums, and he makes his music
by swapping his muscles against the dis
tended membranes. Then he can breathe
through his skin and supply all the
wind that is necessary without opening
his mouth.
A French scientist, after long listen
ing in the woods, has made out and re-
duced to writing the song of the frog,
or swamp music, as he calls it, and
has discovered that the frog repertory
is varied and extensive. Frogs can carry
ON conversations at long distances and
can communicate to each other emotions
Of fear or anger.
Their songs, however, are all love
songs and are only INDUCED in when
there are female frogs about. 1t is then
that the frog distends his drums to their
utmost, throwing his head we'll back
and his legs far apart and raising his
voice, as it is called, to the very highest
pitch Of the musical scale. Pearson &
Weekly.

The Woman In White.

Here is one of Nugent Robinson 8
"reminiscences Of Wilkie Collins: IL
was walking one day toward Hampstead
heath with Wilkie Collins. 1t was rain
ing. Wilkie carried his white umbrella.
Presently we sighted near hedge a
very pretty woman dressed in white and
accompanied by a child. Wilkie stepped
up to her and proffered his umbrella.
She promptly accepted it, and said to
him as she disappeared, That's the last
you IL see Of it. He laughed and insist
ed that it would be all right. He lived
in Wampole street and had given the
young woman his address. Well, time
went by until one day we two were
again strolling, this time in Piccadilly.
Suddenly hanson was halted along
side of us so quickly that the horse was
drawn back on his launches and that
same woman leaned out and handed
Wilkie his umbrella. Idiscreetly walked
ON. That was the original of The Wo-
man In White, and she became Viii.
kie's housekeeper. !"

WHY COPS ARE CORPUlENT.
An Old Member of the Force Explains
the Inevitable Paunch.

the Inevitable Paunch.
Its standing joke with lots of
folks, said a retired policeman the
other day, that almost as soon as a
new man is put on the force and goes
out on patrol duty he gets fat. You
never yet saw a picture of policeman
but that he had paunch on him wor-
thy of an old country German.
but it isn't corpulence that forces
policemen to buy bigger wasted trousers
and coats as they grow older It's de-
formity; that's right - deformity.
When a man is on his feet anywhere
from ~ to 20 hours out of the "a, he
just settles down on himself. He puts
all his weight on his hips.
This throws out his abdomen and
draws his shoulders back, making him
look hollow backed. 1t seems to rest
him. His feet and ankles, which get
sore rheumatic and all out of shape on
account of his constant walking, are re-
lieved when he rests his hips. Just try
it and see how easy and restful the
habit is. But you'll get an amazing
front in short time.

went on the force 30 years ago. Now
l have to wear No. TO- and the width

trst a woman's story.
Not strange because II happens every day,
not romantic or thrilling, but just story of
misery and suffering such as only women
know.
For eighteen years, Sara E. Bowen, of
Peru, Indiana, carried burden of pain.
Night and day, without respite, she suf-
fered the most dreadful experience that ever
fell to the lot of woman.
That she did not die is almost beyond
belief.
That she is well to-day is a miracle.
Mrs. Bowen's trouble requires no descrip-
ton beyond the symptom, which every
woman will instantly recognize.
In describing them Mrs. Bowen says:
"For eighteen years | suffered with
weakness peculiar to my sex.
IL was broken down piece of human
ity; shadow of woman.
"My brain was tortured until could re-
member but little. could not sleep or eat
and was reduced in weight to mere skele-
ton. What little did eat could not be d.
gested in my weakened state, and caused
me untold misery.
MY skin was muddy, my eyes were
heavy. Twas dizzy ali the time and to-
tally unfit for even ordinary housework.

the United States with Europe via Klon-
dixie and Boring sea. Most electricians
and telegraphic experts had made up
their minds that 40 miles-which was
the distance across the strait-represent
ed the longest submarine cable could
be successfully worked.
A company was formed, and what
was known in those days as Russian
Extension stock went off at premium
of 80 per cent. In 1865 the line between
New Westminster and the Yukon river
was surveyed, found To be practicable
and traversed completely the present
Klondike region.
The line was expected 10 be finished
in 1867. Even the tariff for messages
was fixed at e5 ($25) per message. The
receipts were estimated TO yield about
80, 900, 900 per annum. The line was
actually constructed from New West
minister along the present route of the
Canadian Pacific railway to Ashcroft,
where it was continued north toward
Boring sea TO Fort Stager, 800 or 400
miles beyond Quesnelle. This line is at
the present moment in operation in a
portion of the Caribou country.
Then, in the midst of the whole bust

the Atlantic cable was a success. Thre g
