MIGHT BE KNOCK-kNEED
Ohio Girl Refused to Exhibit and Lost
Her Lawsuit.

Her Lawsuit.
Had Miss Marie Prevoncha, of San
dusky, O., been one of the ladies of the
ballet instead of professional nurse
she might now be $4,000 the richer,
says the Chicago Chronicle. While on
her way home one evening she stumbled
over piece of defective sidewalk, fell
and sustained severe injury to one of
her legs above and below the knee. Sub
sequently she brought suit against the
city, claiming $1,000 damages on ac-
count of her injuries. When Miss Pre-
yopcha was placed on the stand the
counsel for the city raised a point as to
the character Of the injury, and insisted
that in order that the jury could better
judge of the facts Miss Prevoncha
should exhibit her injured limb to the
jury.
"Never," she fairly Kissed, as she
pointed her finger at the cityprosecutor.
THE demand is mopstrous." The
prosecutor insisted and quoted authori-
ties, and there was long argument.
The judge finally decided that it would
be indelicate to enforce the demand and
the case went to the jury, which re-
turned verdict for the city. 1t is be,
lieved that had the fair plaintiff made
the exhibit suggested she would have
secured damages, AS she expressed
it, however: II am not ballet girl,
but professional nurse, and prefer to
lose the case rather than make such an
exposure"

He Loved Truth fulness,

A careless mason dropped a brick
from the second story of building on
which he was at work, says an ex-
change. Leaning over the wall and
glancing downward, he discovered a
respectable citizen with his silk hat
damned over his eyes and ears, rising
from "a recumbent posture. The mason.
in tones of apprehension, inquired:
Did that brick hit anyone down
there?" The citizen, with great diff
Guilty extricating himself from the eX-
tinguisher into which his hat had been
converted, replied, with considerable
wrath: Yes, sir, it did. 1t hit me-"
That's right" exclaimed the mason,
in tones of un6isguised admiration;
noble man, would rather have wasted
a thousand bricks than have you tell
me a lie bout it.

INSECT BORER.
Female Carries the Tools and Does
All the Work.

All the Work.
This insect is one of the most inter
esting and curious creatures found in
this region. 1t measures from ~ to
2la inches long; yellowish brown in
color; but the extraordinary feature is
the set of two long saws and an bride
positor it carries trailing behind. The
saws, says the New York World, are
about five inches long and resemble
black threads. But when the insect be-
gins boring on hardwood tree, such
as the hickory, for example, the casual
observer would be apt to remark that
the saws were all right. The female
as the only member of the family pro
vided with carpenters tools, which she
uses to great advantage by boring holes
In the tree trunk and depositing one
egg therein, which later on matches and
becomes a grub of wood-eating pro-
pensities.
After depositing the egg the orifice
OF the boring is closed up with pulp,
and the male ichneumon, generally two
or three in number, stay near and guard
the entrance of the hole from the at
tacks of grub-hunting ants and other
insects that have particular penchant
for this food.

COST OF SOLOMoN's TEMPLE
The Seven Years Work Figured Out
in Dollars and Cents.

The seven Years Work Figured Out
I'm Dollars and Cents.
A noted statistician and investigator
who has lots of time for such work
has been doing some figuring on the
cost of the Temple of Solomon, and
says few people even in these days of
palmy extravaganza and millionaire
display have an adequate impression
of the enormous cost of the great tenn
pie. According to Villalpandus, the
talents" of gold, silver and brass were
equal to the enormous sum of e6,s79.-
$4,000. The worth of the Jewels is
placed at a figure equally as high, says
the Philadelphia Record.
The vessels of gold, according to Io-
sephus, were valued at lac, 900 talents.
which. reduced to English money. was
equal to S575,296,2 03, The vessels of
silver, according to the same authority,
were still more valuable, being Sc,
down as worth E 646, $4,000. Priests
vestments and the robes of singers.
92,0l0,00O. and the trumpets, 100000.
To this add the expense of the build.
ing material, labor, ETC., and some won
derful figures result. Ten thousand
men hewing cedars, 10000 bearers of
burdens, $4,000 hewers of stone, over
seers, all of whom were employed for
seven years, and upon whom. beside
their wages, Solomon bestowed E6.733,-
970
If their daily food was worth so cents.
the sum total for all was f63.s77 ,OSS
during the time of building. The ma
terials in the rough are estimated as
having been worth 2,545 1877 900 This
gives total. just for this much of the
expense, which by no means expresses
the whole cost. of $40, 719, .261, or

The Fond do Lac Reporter has the

ship of this circuit:


TIE Fond do Lac Reporter has the
following with reference to the Judge
ship of this circuit:
The bar and the people generally in
at least three counties of the circuit
have petitioned Judge Kirwan to
stand for election. In Manitowoc
county the petition has mere than one
thousand signatures, while in the
counties of Fond dn Lac and Kewau
nee the signatures are the representa-
tive members of the bar and the vOt-
ers irrespective of politics and party
lines.
The sentiment in Sheboygan coun-
ty for another candidate is largely
local, emanating from spirit of pure
ly local pride and the impression pre-
walls that, of those supporting apotner
candidate, many would be entirely
satisfied with what seems now to be
practically the unanimous choice of
the other three counties.
judge Kirwin is a jurist of marked
ability. favorably known throughout
the state for his wide range of legal
learning, his popularity with the bar
and the people, and his eminent fit
ness to fill the vacancy on the bench
caused by the voluntary retirement OF
Judge ellison. III is to be hoped that
his candidacy for election by call will
not be interfered with by the Formally
of nominating convention and that
the circuit judgeship selection will not
be made on partisan lines.

GREAT QUANTITIES OF FOOD.
The Productive Power of the>lnited
States Is Now In Evidence,

The Productive Power of the>lnited
States Is Now In Evidence,
Michael G, Mulhall, +. S, S., in North
American Review, writes: 1t appears
that as regards quantity three Ameri-
cans now export as much as five did
90 years ago, which srffices 10 show how
groundless are the predictions of some
writer's who tell US that as population
increases so the surplus products for
expectation must diminish. In the
last 20 years population has risen from
100000 to 100000 souls. an increase
of So per cent, and at the same time
the weight of exports has risen 175
per cent; that is, three times as fast
as population:
The quantities of food yearly ex-
ported are sufficient to feed 30,C00,000
persons In Europe, from which II APP
pears that American farms raise food
for 1000O0.000 people yearly. The west
ern prairies are capable Ct carrying
double the present number of live stock,
and producing ten times as much grain
as they do, so that. for at least a century
to come, there is every probability that
the expectation of food will increase
with population. The same is true as
regards cotton, the crop having risen
125 per cent. in 90 years.
The world is only beginning to have
evidence of the enormous productive
power of the United States.

American Bishop Predicts EurOpe-
ans VIII War on African Soil.
1t has been predicted that Africa
would be the theater Of the great strug-
gle between, says the Lynchhurg Adj
vance, European powers in the next cen.
tury, as America was in the last two CEN
turtles. Bishop Hartell, of the Methodist
Episcopa. church, after close observa-
ton of the situation, indorses the opin-
ion. There are already signs of the COM
ing trouble. Germany is watching Brit
ish progress in Africa with jealous eye
and only wants a preteXt to in
terfere in order to stop that prog
ress. The French are continually
encroaching on the sphere of British in
fuences, and though the French govern
ment disowns the acts of overzealous
French officers, still the government
holds whatever they acquire. Africa is
a rich prize, and English, Germans and
French, to say nothing OF Italians, will
all seek to gain as large q slice of the
continent as possible. 1t requires no
prophetic powers to predict that Eng
land will outstr;p all her rivals in the
race. She has q firm foothold now both
in Egypt and south Africa, and every
year is acquiring additional territory.
England is the great colonizer of the
age, and her great naval power will
give her an immense advantage in the
coming struggle

sight of the Maine was horrifying

of the power of the explosion and the
carnage wrought. Buzzards hung
about the wreck, the Spanish officers
making no effort to drive them away,
though their presence was sickening

rowed about in boats did not conceal
their satisfaction at the warship's
fate and sometimes were seen shaking
their fists at the flag that hung at half
