A Fiye-Legged Frog,

A fve-legged frog has come all the
way from Connecticut and taken up his
abode in the New York aquarium. He
did not hop here-even frog with five
legs could not do that-but Travelled in
a box with some wet moss to keep him
cool. When he was transferred to a
tank he uttered a graceful chirrup and
bllnked his golden-rimmed eyes. AT
first glance this newcomer seems to
carry his extra leg so gracefully that
the beholder is tempted to think that
all frogs ought to have three front legs.
Closer examination, however, shows
that the middle leg is really an excres-
cence from one of the others, and is
not of much service to its proprietor.
He does not use IL in swimming OF
hopping, but it imparts a certain dig
nifty to his aspect.-New York World.

The Supreme Court of Indiana held
in the case of the City of Valparaiso
VS.. Hagen ct al. that a municipal cor
poration, so long as it acts in con-
formity with the statutes and proceed !.
skillfully and without negligence OF
malice, and pursues the only natural
and reasonably possible line of drain
age, has a right to discharge its sew
age into a natural water course and
cannot be enjoined from doing so at
the suit of lower riparian proprietors
who suffer injury by reason of the
pollution of the stream; that
one who is injured by the
acts of another done on his
own land, which the latter has a
clear legal right to do, is without any
remedy either at law or in equity; that
the rights of a riparian proprietor in
a stream are subject to the privilege of
other proprietors higher up the stream
to exercise their legal rights with re-
gard to IT, and that the doing of an
act which the law expressly sanctions
and authorizes cannot be a nuisance
except it become so by reason of the
negligent or improper manner in which
it is done.

Citizen Sunday" has become a fixed
institution in London, and this year on
that date the clergymen in more than
500 churches of that city preached upon
the duties of the citizen to the state.
That IS an institution which might
we'll be adopted in this country. A man
may be a good citizen without being
religious; but at any rate every man
who is truly religious should be a good
citizen, and all the better citizen be-
cause he is religious.

A British school at Rome.


A movement, supported by strong
general committee, for the establish
ment at Rome of a British school sim
liar to that which has existed for thir-
teen years at Athens, Germany France,
Austria, and the United States already
possess institutions of the kind in
Rome, but Great Britain, almost alone
among European nations, is unrepre-
scented. The need is recognized in that
city of a British center of study and
research, offering to British students
the advantages enjoyed by members of
other nationalities. The formation OF
such a center would be welcomed by
the committee of the Athens school, as
a means of enabling students to COM
plete in Rome the training they have
received in Athens, though the work
done in both cities would be of a sim
liar character. The school in Rome,
like that in Athens, would be a train
ing ground for students fresh from the
universities or other institutions, as
well as a place where more mature
students could gather, to the stimula-
ton of intercourse and sympathy and
the achievement of more concerted and
continuous work.-London Echo.

PENALTY FOR BEING POLITE.
They Put You or the Car In Hamburg
for Giving Your Seat to Lady.


for Giving Your Seat to Lady.
1t is more difficult to be polite in
the city of Hamburg than in any other
place in Europe. There the most chiv-
alrous man has to think twice before
giving up his. seat in a car to a lady,
as he may be turned off the car for
politeness. 1t seems that the Ham
burg trolley cars will seat, according
to size, 20 or 2S persons, 10 to IA on
each side. In addition four persons
are allowed on the front, and five per-
sons on the back platform. When the
car is full the conductor hangs out a
sign, "Besetzt," which means "occu-
pied" and is absolutely forbidden to
take on another passenger until some
one gets off the car. Sometimes, while
the conductor is in front collecting
fares, a lady will step on the car,
which is already occupied" AS there
is no conductor on hand to prevent
her, the lady steps inside, and the gen.
tleman who may offer her seat comes
out and takes his stand on the plat
form. When the conductor, after go
ing his rounds, returns to his post,
he promptly requests the gentleman to
step off the car, as he has forfeited his
seat and the car is fully occupied. "
Should he refuse to leave the car he
is put off. The policemen on the
streets are instructed to watch the
cars sharply, and If they find a car
carries even one more passenger than
its proper complement, the conductor
is fined 70 cents, which is paid to a
charity fund of the street railway
company.-Philadelp Press.
