Bow tho Student Escaned.

The late Professor Hyrtl, of Vionna,
was present one day during the exam
ination of an aspirant for the medical
degree, by Professor LANCER. Finally
the lattor handed the student q small
bone, saying:
"Mr. Candidate, here is a bone.
Don't look at it; but tell me from feel.
ing it what kind of bone it is; whether
it belonged to the left or right side Of
the body, and whether it was part of q
man or woman"
The poor student biushed from EN-.

and then sprang to his feet. "And
tell me, Mr.. Candidate" lie cried ont,
the spirit of anger lighting up his
large, blue eyes, latter answering tho
questions of my dear colleague, tho
name of the original possessor of this
bone, and where and in what street
he lived"
This unexpected outburst saved the
day for the poor candidate; bnt Pro-
fessor LANCER ever after declined to
conduct an examination when Hyrtl
was present.

A trim, dainty look is associated
with these latest accessories, which are

chosen, although stylish revers are
shown in polka dotted, plaid and farcy

used for handsome revers, insertion Or
edging, or both together, affording ef
fective garniture. The shawl and
notched revers are shaped with
short seam in centre back. The
"sailor" is cut without seam. The
revers are usually made double, the
edges being turned in and stitched to-
gether in tailor style. AS here illus

Keysburg to fill their appointment to
speak they found nobody atall to hear

and when they came to the river found
quite an assemblage on the opposite
bank. .Herrel mounted stump and
began to address them at long range,
but soon found that his voice would
not hold up at that distance, so he re
quested them to wade out into the
river and draw nearer. Instead Of
doing this, they sent skiff and fer.

patiently down and listened to the
speeches. When the speaking was

that they had been speaking il Ten

while carrying in an extra supply of
ice to her refrigerator, was surprised
to see large gray rodent squatting

Of the back gate the rat did not run

Cost of War News From Manila.

Few persons realize the cost of the
war news sent from Manila each day.
The regular rate of the Eastern Tele-
graph Company from Manila to New
York is s2.35 word, and dispatch
filing one column of the usual length
would cost about $4,000 simply for
cable tolls. When large number Of
newspapers use the same dispatch, as
in the case of matter distributed by
press associations, the cost of 1t to
each paper is, of course, much re-
duced, although the annual expense
of collecting news has been increased
for all American newspapers by the
country's oriental expansion. 1t is no
more than fair for the reader to credit
an expansion paper with unselfsh mo-
tives.

Resentment OF q Business Slight.

No better story of the way pair oi
determined editors "got even" with or

them m inexcusable affront, has ever
been put in type than is contained in
this racy narrative of some recent his
tory OF business affairs in the town Of
Warren, ILL.,, as recorded in the
columns of the Sterling Standard. II
will excite gratifed chuckle from the
interior of many reader who has had
similar experience and would enjoy
melting out similar retribution:
"There is lively scrap on at War

and the directors of the fair associa

directors, banker of that place, goi
it into his head that he could ignore
the home papers, SO when the time
came to get the fair printing done, he
sent the Job to another town. 1t is
said that both of the Warren papers
offered to do the work for fair price.
but that their offer was refused. The
result of this action on the part of tho
director was o red hot roast from both
the Warren Sentinel and the Warren
Leader, to which the director replied
that the papers of Warren didn't have
any influence anyway.
"There's where the director got

have been hustling around, and have
secured the organization of new

heartily supported by the best people
in the place. It's another case OF

of the bank director and head of the
board of directors of the fair. Fror'
all that can be heard, it is safe to soy
that he would gladly take back his
action on the printing business, and
retract all of the nasty things he has
said about the papers of Warren.
"The statement that the WGrrer
papers have no influence is one which

enough to see the untruth Of. There
is no such thing as paper without in

dreamed of. Although but short

Curious BalI-Bearins Shears.

A Connecticut man is the inventor
of q ball-bearing shears for use by
BARRIERS, tailors, ETC., which is at least
q curiosity. Two annular series Of
balls are disposed in the pivotal con:
nection of the shears, which pivotal
connection comprises an annular ball
seat, from the centre of which pro-
jects a short "boss" interiorly thread
ed to receive the pivot screw, the head
of which is formed to serve partial
ball channel. When the two shear
members are secured together there
is double series of balls involved,
which removes friction and increases
the cutting capacity of the ihstru.
ment. They can be readily adjusted
to any touch, and it is claimed for
them tina. they will not become
clogged or "wobbly." They are said
to have worked we'll in the expert
mental shears that have been made
and used to some extent in this Now

New Uso For Electricity.

faculty of Ann Arbor University, has
discovered new use for electricity.
1t is fattening pigs. There is no ioka
about the experiment. He has used
two cages of guines pigs for the ex-
pertinent. The pigs in each cage were
the same age. Around one cage he
hung electric wires, which were
charged daily. The pigs in this cage
gained ten per cent. more in weight
in a given time than the pigs in the
cage where there was no electricity.
