Six-year-old Paul Harper Ia the
youngest historian yet heard from on
the wal with Spain. He expresses him
self in the Evanston Index: This war

first the Spanish used bad words about
Mr.. Kinerly; and the next sirius thing
was the Main, and l wisht / Guild a seen

Mr.. d. L. Moody points out one
source of domestic infslicity and Of
divorces. The fact indicated by Mr..
Moody is by no means one Of recent
discovery; nevertheless, the warning
uttered by him needs to be given. He
says:
The most subtle and deceitful hope
which ever existed, and one which
wrecks the happiness of many a young
girls life, is the common delusion that
q woman can best reform a man by
marrying him. 1t is a mystery to me
how people can be so blinded to the
hundreds of cases in every community
where tottering homes have fallen and
innocent lives have been wrecked be-
cause some young girl has persisted
In marrying a s%coundrel in the hope
OF saving him. l have never known
such a union-and l have seen hun
dreds of them-result in anything but
sadness and disaster. Let no young
girl think that she may be able to ac-
complish what a loving mother or
sympathetic sisters have been unable
to do. Before there is any contract
OF marriage there should be convinc-
Ing proof that there has been real and
thorough regeneration"

A Laugh on the French Police.

Mile. Jeanne Granier, the we'll
known French actress, once met with
an amusing adventure. 1t happened at
Marseilles. In m of the little pieces
she plays by herself she has for Access
sorry the lay figure of a man, skilfully
articulated and dressed in a travelling
suit, with which she dances.
The figure during the voyage was
enveloped In a tight fitting covering.
On reaching Marseilles it was left in
the luggage room with other things.
The curiosity of two of the railway
employees being aroused at the sight Of
it, they took off the covering and re-
solved to play a joke on their com
rades. They placed the figure in an
arm chair at the desk of the cashier
and shut the door. When the en-
ployes on night service came they
opened the door and were surprised to
see a man sitting down before the cash
box. They Immediately closed and
locked the door and ran for assistance.
A policeman arrived, revolver in hand,
believing, like the employees, that he
had to deal with a dangerous thief.
He called on the figure to surrender
and follow him to the station. AS 1t
did not obey the summons, the police
man shut the door and went In search
of reinforcements to surround the
place, and thereby prevent the culprit
from escaping. The door was again
opened, the armed force entered, and
it was not till they had suddenly
bounced on the poor lay robber that
they discovered the joke.

BITES OF AMIN

Apart from all concomitant danger of
blood poisoning, the severity OF the
bites OF ~f1esh-eating animals Is out of
all proportion to the weapons by which
they are inflicted. The teeth, even of
the largest carnivora, are merely the
"~spearheads;" but the force which
works" these instruments is prodi-
gious. 1t seems as If for the moment
the animal threw all its bodily energy
into the combination of muscular ac-
ton, which we call a bite" In most
cases the mere shock of impact, as the
animal hurls itself on its enemy is en-
tirely demoralizing, or inficts physical
injury.
A muZzled mastiff will hurl a man
to the ground in the effort to fasten its
teeth in his throat or shoulder. Then,
the driving and crushing force Of the
jaw muscles is astonishing. The snap
ping power of an alligator's jaws is
more or less Ineligible. They are
long, and furnished with a row of
pointed teeth from end to end. But
the jaws of a lion, leopard, tiger, otter,
ferret, or baboon are short, and the
long and pointed teeth are few. Yet
each of their species has a biting power
which in proportion to it's size is al
most incredible.
Sir Samuel Baker, who had a long
and varied acquaintance with the bites
of the carnivora, noticed that the tiger
usually seized an Indian native by the
shoulder, and with one Jaw on n side
and the other on the other, bit clean
through chest and back. "The fatal
wound was the bite, which through
back and chest, penetrated to the
lungs"
Europeans are killed by the tigers
bite, as we'll as lacerated by the claws
In nearly all cases the bite penetrates
to the lungs. This kind of wound is
characteristic of the attacks of many
of the felidae. Scarcely any bird re-
covers from a cats bite for the same
instantly driven through the lung, un
der the wing. The cheetah, which hai
a very small mouth, always bites
through the black bucks throat. TIL,
leopard, when selling smaller animals
such as dogs, brushes the head; wher
attacking men it aims at biting
through the lungs.
