The Doctors Disagreed.

Some Vienna savans were lately con-
fronted with language difficulty. Ac-
cording to the Independence Beige, a
young girl. unknown, was found un-
conscious in n street at Presburg and
was conveyed TO the hospital at Wen
ma, where she recovered consciousness
and began to speak in a language
which no one present could under
stand. The doctors came to the con-
clusion that the young woman was a
native of an eastern country.
Consequently some professors from
the oriental school were called in, and
they were all agreed that the girl did
not speak d correct language, but q
dialect The professor of Persian held
that she spoke a Persian dialect and
that he understood it. Another pro
fessor was of opinion that it was an
Abyssinian dialect. A third was con-
vinced that it was Turkish patois.
Since the savans were not agreed the
police deemed it necessary to make in
Quiries, with the result that the stran-
ger was proved to be Hungarian who
had escaped from a prison and who
did not understand a word of Persian,
Abyssinian or Turkish.-LOndon Globe

Warmth OF birds, blood.

The blood of birds offers some data

any other class of animals. The blood
corpuscles are shaped differently, be-

not the difference to which refer
Birds blood is several degrees warmer
than that Of other animals. To man
such a temperature of the blood as
birds possess would be a fever This
high temperature causes molecular
changes in the tissues and brain to take
place more rapidly. which would cause
the consumption of more food. and
brain activity would be more intense.

present without assistance. So we
ask all the sister lodges to donate to
our needs. Our Hall is about to be

HIS VISIT TO vEsuVus.
And what he Thought as He GAxed

An American who detests s1ghtsee-
ing upon principle loafed for six weeks
at Sorrento without stirring in the di-
rection of places most travellers would
have thought it criminal to omit. His
only dread was the cross questioning
of kind friends when he got home. To
confess that he had deliberately staid
away from all those celebrated spots
of interest would bring down no end Of
scorn and denunciation upon him. But
sufficient unto the day is the evil there
of. and the American resolved to trust
to inspiration to get him out of such
possible scrapes. The first person he
met after leaving Sorrento was an
American woman on the train. and the
first thing she wanted to know was if
he had climbed Vesuvius.

quiver,

woman. How interesting . must

searching question, but so well did he
know his lines that never once did she
catch him mapping. At last. after

the train he had plunged his way on

BAKE THEMSELVES ALIVE.
Russian Fanatics Thus Obtain Re-
lease From Trouble.

lease From Trouble.
Baking themselves in huge roaring
ovens is the climax of emotional en-
thuSiaSm and self sacrifice Of Il
strange sect of Russians. They are the
Begonny, and they live in the village
of TernowO. near Tiraspol.
The sect's origin was rather political
and economical than religious, their
agitations having always been direct
ed toward greater personal liberty and
political power for individual members
of society.
They demand the abolition Of docu-
ments for proving identity and also the
abolition of the necessity for the pass
port. They repudiate compulsory mil-
tary service, and if forced to bear arm )
they are liable to emotional enthusH-
asm. leading to self sacrifice. The
form of death which they adopt is usu'-
ally burial while alive, but occasional
ly it is self destruction by fire.
When the last great sacrifice Of the
sect was made, the people adopted the
voluntary cremation method as
means of getting an eternal release
from their troubles. On single day
four families went out from village
and did themselves to death. A huge
oven was built, and into it those who
voluntarily decided to die plunged
themselves.
The people who lacked the necessary
enthusiasm or strength Of mind or who
felt that they were not worthy of at
tempting the great achievement knelt
and prayed while they wept for their
relatives and friends, whose charred
bones they kissed in au ecstasy Of af-
fection and admiration.

not to be put down. and once more he

off, nowp
'The audience was greatly amused

had plenty of trouble on hand. Conse

and told him that he was certainly mis-
taken as to the identity of the freak.

fellow, and. what is more. you and
your whole shebang are frauds and

"JOHN P. ROBINSON, HE."
Something About n Character Whom
Lowell Satirized.

John P. Robinson, the subject of one
lows" satires, was a brilliant lawyer
of the town Of Lowell, a scholarly gen
tleman and a wit. 1t is said of him
that he had read Homers "Iliad" so
much that he could recite nearly the
whole of it from memory. Mr.. Robin
son was favorite stump speaker about
the period of 1910. He was a Whig
and had the ambition to represent his
district in congress.
In 1S42 he received the Whig nomi-
nation for this position. 1t was bad
year for Wing candidates, as the Lib
erty party had then begun to present
nominees against it. A majority was
at that time required to elect. and
there was no choice at the regular cleo
ton. The Whig party, always timid.
feared Mr.. Robinson could not be elect
ed on further trial and induced him to
withdraw from the contest that it
might present a candidate more ac-
ceptable to the antislavery men. This
was a severe disappointment to Mr..
Robinson. He became disgusted with
the Wings and bitter toward the anti
slavery advocates.
A few years later, after General Ca
leb Gushing had been in the Mexican
war. he was nominated by the Demo
Gratis as their candidate for governor
of Massachusetts. upon which Mr.. Rob
insOn wrote letter declaring he should
leave the Wing party and support Gen
eral Gushing This induced LowelPs
poem Governor Briggs was then the
Whig candidate for governor, and Low
ell had two rpfrans to his verses. The
first read:
So John p.
Robinson, he
Saws he shan't vote for Governor B.
And the second:
So John P.
Robinson, he
Says he shall vote for General @.
