SIGNIFICANT EMPHASIS.

the doctors had told you II was poison,
and you had seen one person fall down
and die and another claim land Mr.. Os-
borne put a strong emphasis on the word)

Hovey replied! 1--WE all supposed it was
an accident.
you said yesterday you examined with
the greatest possible care the package
that contained the poison bottle, the
wrapper, seal, and wax, and expressed an
opinion that it was done so well that it
would take an expert to discover that it
was not the original package. Then you

This concluded the examination of Mr..
Hovey, and Mr.. Osborne called DR.. Estill
Potter, who was called by Cornish 10 as
sist DIR. Hitchcock at what proved to be
Mrs. Adamss death-bed.
DIR. Potter said that when he arrived

There were present DIR. Hitchcock, Mr.
Cornish, Mr. Hovey, and Mrs. Rogers
The last-named told him that upon her
advice Mr. Cornish had given her mother
a dose Of bromo-seltzer. Mrs. Rogers
was crying and hystercal.
Cornish told witness how Mrs Adams
had taken the omo-seltZer, and how she
had been taken sick couple of minutes
later.
Cornish further stated that after Mrs.
Adams had taken her dose he mixed
small dose for himself, to see If it really
tasted bitter. as Mrs. Adams had said 1t
did The dose. Cornish said, made him
very sick. Witness said there were two
glasses standing on the table.

In a kissing contest for S25 a side,
which has just been declared off in a
small town in Lancashire, England,
the challenger sank exhausted at the
seven hundredth smack, his opponent
having scored eighteen hundred in the
hour.
Over in Germany at about the same
time a young lover wrote to his sweet
heart that he sent her ten thousand
kisses. She sent back word that that
was all well enough on paper, but
that he had not the nerve to perform
the feat in a truly manly way. This
challenge was likewise accepted, and
ten hours time was allowed, with
brief intervals for malt refreshments.
At the end of the first hour the
score was two thousand and the con
dition of both active and passive
participant good. One thousand more
were added in the second hour, but at
the seven hundred and fftieth kiss on
the third round the young mans lips
became paralyzed and he lost CON
seriousness. This fate, which some
might consider merited, should prove
a warning to promiscuous kissers as
well as to those who concentrate with
persistence. 1t is not paralysis alone,
but insanity, which may follow such
efforts. Medical Record.

Hoods Pills cure Sick Headache. =


Dogs are often said to be almost
human and to understand every word
said to them, though as a matter of
fact they only pretend to do so, but
birds are not usually supposed to be
endowed with a like intelligence and
to share the evil passions which beset
mankind. An action in the South
wark County Court, however, has
established that II singing canary can
emulate human artists in the posses.
sion of hessdemon jealousy. To such
an extent was it attacked by artistic
pique that it died, not being able to
survive being outsung by a neighbor-
ing bird. Such a sad fate was deeply
lamented by the defendant in the
action, a news vendor whose bird it
was, but who had tried to sell. it to
the plaintiff. The general opinion of
his friends was that the bird had died
of a broken heart. Tie plaintiff had
returned it because,it was not worth
anything, but the tender hearted news
vendor said that it sang simply
lovely" and that to hear it warbling
against the canary next door was
quite a picture" Altogether the evil
dence and the SMILES got rather mixed,
as it turned ont that the canary was
not a canary, but a linnet .-Londop

At a recent meeting of the Academic
des Sciences, Paris, M. Mascart, the
we'll known French electrician, brought
forward a method of enabling a ship
to tell its position off a coast in thick
weather or darkness. The plan was
invented by a French electrician in
Turkish employment. 1t consists OF
connecting two shore stations at some
distance apart by a telegraph wire or
cable, permitting an electric current
to control the acoustic fog or night
signals of the stations, and make them
simultaneous. Suppose one station
emits the note "Do' and the other
"Me;" a person on board the ship
will readily distinguish them, and
whether they are heard by him stimuli
~taneously or one after the other will
depend on the position of the ship
with respect to the stations. The
interval of time between the sounds
multiplied by the known velocity OF
sound in air will give him the differ
ence in his distances from the two
stations.-Public Opinion.
