upon the second matron stated that what she had to complain of was her neighbor's dog. It had been taught to bark at her whenever she went out. and so maliciously clever was the ami mal that at the instigation of it's mis- tress it actually threw stones at her window panes by tossing them up with its paws.
 By this time the people in court were convulsed with laughter, but the judge remained serious. In comment ing upon the two cases,h he pointed out that neither action had been correctly described as suit for libel. Then he rendered his decision, which was worthy of a Solomon. One of the plaintiffs, he said, should have prose .uted the dog, the other should have cited the parrot. Both actions having been wrongly instituted, he should therefore, dismiss them both;

WASN'T THE REAL THING.
So the Telephone Girl Did Not Return Her Admirer's Kiss OveR
 the Wire.

With blush the young girl at the telephone branch took the round black clasps of rubber from her ears, says the Chicago Daily News, and, turning on the girl beside her amused, shocked eyes, she said;
 Maggie, he did it again.'
 .'rhc rascal!' said Maggie.
 And, Maggie, do you know what He's told some of his friends about it, and now. in calling him up, they do it, too, if I happen to make the connection"
 "Gee!" said Maggie.
 "Now, Maggie, 1 won't stand for it much longer. I'll give him call. It's so silly-I don't see what fun lie gets out of it. lie does it every morning. Good morning, Miss Rlanche,' he says, laughing little, as soon as I answer his ring, and then he makes that sound like kiss, and laughs and waits. It's a kiss; it's kiss all right; kiss sounds veyy plain and real over the wire, and suppose he expects me to kiss him back. I don't though. I'm not so foolish. If it was the real thing, now, why, then"
 .'That's what" said Maggie.

There were two cases in the correc- tional chamber at Paris of decidedly opera bouffe character. The plaintiffs in each case were women. Plaintiff No. l, being asked to state her case, said 1t all came about owing to par rot. The bird had vicious disposition and its mistress (the defendant) egged 1t on to be even worse than it was by nature. The plaintiff could not put her head out of the wind ow without the bird shouting opprobrious epi- rhets 1t her and generally libeling her character.
 Before deciding this ease the judge said he would hear the other, where

PARTICIPATING EGGS.
one of the oldest of Recent Inven- tions for Cooling Various
 Beverages.

One of the oldest of recent in- yentions is refrigerating egg, as it might be called. It is an ovoid cak. sule of nickel-plated copper, about the size and shape of 8 hens egg, hollow and nearly filled with water. For use, it is frozen, so that it's con- tents become ice.
 If you have a glass of milk that is not cold enough. you do not like to
 put ice into it, because dilution with water spells the beverage. But, if you have one of these eggs handy, you may drop it into the glass, and in few moments the liquid is re- dueed to the desired temperature. In the same way you may cool your cup of coffee, if it is too hot, and the idea is equally applicable to any other drink.
 Many people nowadays are disin- clined to use ice in their drinking water, because it may contain germs. All danger is avoided by dropping one of these metal eggs into ones turlbler.
 Tke refrigerating egg, according to the Saturday Evening Post, is J little less than full of water, so as to allow for the slight expansion of the liquid in freezing; otherwise, of 1 course, the capsule would burst After being filled, the capsule is
 sealed so perfectly that no one can
 seil where the opening was, and thus it is absolutely water tight. Such an egg. of metal, it is said
 can hardly be broken, and ough5 to last forever.
