L. Your Name Heref

A contributor has been amusing him
self by trying to answer the question OF
series of questions, What man in the
history of the world whose name began
with A-and after that every other let
ter of the alphabet in order-exerted the
greatest influence upon the thought and
conduct of mankind?
OF course there are some letters which
are not very prolific in the names of
great men, but we think most of our
readers will be surprised TO see how
many of the most illustrious names in
history are included and how few are
excluded
In some cases the compiler seems to
have selected names quito as much with
view to pretending in the list
men of many countries. as because the
name given was that of the greatest
man of his time The list follows:
Aristotle, Baco, Confucius, Darwin
Ezra, Franklin, Goethe. Homer, Isaiah,
Justinian, Kant, Luther. Mohammed.
Newton, Ossian, Plato, Quintillian,
Rousseau, Shakespeare, Tasso, INLAND,
Virgil, Washington, Xavier. Young,

The Leopard and tn. Pan.

One day worthy Kulu housewife
came ont from her cooking and, stand
ing on the ledge of rock at her door,
emptied pan of boiling water into the
rank herbage growing below 1t fell.
splash, ON the back OF a sleeping leo
pard, who jumped perpendioularly into
the air as high as the roof of the hut
What might have happened next? Who
can say? But the astonished woman
dropped the pan with a olang upon the
rock, and the leopard took one leap
down hill. The pan followed, and tho
leopard's downward leaps became lon
ger and swifter as the pan bounded aft
er it from rock TO rock.
When last seen the leopard had Just
achieved u leap of about $50 feet TO the
very bottom of the ravine, thousands of
feet below, and the pan had whirled
about 500 feet over it on to the opposite
side. The leopard would have eaten the
old woman with pleasure, but a pan
which first scalded half the hide off
him and then bounded changing in his
wake from the top of the Himalayas to
the plains below was something which
he could not face. Good Words

Dangers or Laughter.

1t is surprising to learn from the
highest medical authority in England
that laughter may be injurious.
Laughter in itself, says the British
Medical Journal, cannot very well kill,
but it may do harm. Hysterical girls
and boys with kindred nervous a flee.
tions are often given to immoderate
laughter. which tends to increase nerv
Gus exhaustion
DR.. Feilchenfeld relates an instruo-
tive case III which little girl suffered
from very definite cardiac symptoms
after immoderate laughter. The patient
was IL Yeas old and had previously
been free from any sign of heart dis
ease After laughing ON and off for
nearly an hour with some companions
she suddenly felt stabbing pains in the
chest and WAS seized with fits of cough
in followed by cardiac dyspnea very
well lnarked Feilobenfeld believes that
the cardiac disease directly resulted
from immoderate laughing.

A fatal accident happened on

ing about nine O'Clock at Cyanidel
Michael Flavin. brakeman. work
ing with the switch engine, had
just made the coupling between
the engine and car loaded with
ties, when it is supposed he leaned
over to couple on the air, and while
in that position the car started to
move toward the engine. The
slack was Just sufficient to catch
his head and crush it. No outcry
was made and the supposition is
that the unfortunate man was in
stantly killed.
Mr.. Flavin was about forty five
years of age, and married, leaving
a widow to mourn his sudden death.
He has been in the constant en-
ployment of the f. & C. c. railroad
since Decem ber, 1894, and ever
proved himself faithful and will

Now, said the attorney for the de-
fense, let us take mp the bill present
ed by the plaintiff in this case for al
legged services rendered to my client |
say alleged services, gentlemen of the
jury, because these figures show every
indication of having been doctored.
Would it not be better to say law
yered?' asked an indignant physician
who was serving as one of the Jurors. -
