4 Judicial Rctert.

Sir William Meredith, chief justice Of
Ontario. Canada. was formerly very
prominent politician as we'll as a ia
nous lawyer. He was especially noted
for his success as prosecuting attor
ney. and few criminals escaped convic=
tion when he addressed the jury.
During one of his political campaigns
he was speaking at a meeting in the
city of London. his native town. The
audience was turbulent and he was
frequently interrupted. Finally voice
from the gallery cut into one of his
finer flights with a sarcastic "Oh, go
and get your hair cut.
Sir William. who wore his hair
somewhat longer than is usual, was
stopped by burst of laughter But
as soon as he was able to make him
self heard he turned the laugh and won
the audience by this reply: "My friend
if I'm not mistaken, I've had your
hair cut before this!"-New York Com
mercial Advertiser.

FaintinR.

The direct cause Of fainting is di.
minished circulation of blood through
the brain. To revive person who has
tainted it is necessary, therefore. to al
ter this condition as quickly as poss-
ble. In order to do this the individual
should be laid quite fiat, the head on Il
level with the body. SO that the feebly
acting heart will not have to propel the
blood upward. The neck and chest
should be exposed. fresh all: admitted
freely. water sprinklcd on the face and
stimulating vapors such as ammonia,
held at intervals to the nostrils. When
there is difficulty in restoring anma-
ton. friction over the region of the
heart With the hand or a rough cloth
should be applied vigorously.

HAIR OF THE SLOTH.
1t Is Green In Color and For "a Pc
euiiar Reason.


1t is very curious fact that certain
plants grow and thrive on the hair OF
SlOthS. Apart from its extremely coarse
and brittle nature, the most striking
popularity of the outer hair of the
SlOth is its more or less decidedly green
tinGe. Now. green is 4 very rare color
among mammals. and there ought,
therefore, to be some special reason for
its development in the sloth, and, as il
matter of fact, the means by which
this c0lOration is produced is one of
the most marvellous phenomena in the
whole animal kingdom. SO marvellous,
indeed, that it is at first almost impOs-
sible to believe that it is true.
The object of this peculiar type of
eOloration is, of course, to assimilate
the animal to its leafy surroundings
and thus to render it as inconspicuous
as possible. and when hanging in its
usual position from the underside of
a bough it's long. coarse and green
tinged hair is stated to render the sloth
almost indistinguisEab from the
lunches of gray green lichens among
which it dWclls. In the outer sheath
of the hairs of the al there are a num-
ber of transverse cracks, and in these
cracks grows a primitive type of plant
namely. Il one cplied alga.
And for the benefit of nonbotanical
readers il may he Well to mention here
that al.r. among which SeaWee0S are
included. form Il group of t1oWcrlcSS
plants related OH the one hand to the
fungi and on the other to the lichenS.
In the moist tropical forests forming
the home of the S!othS the algp in the
cracks of their hairs grow readily and
thus communicate to the entire coat
that general green tint which, as al
ready said. is reported to render them
almost indistinguishHble from the cius-
ters of lichen among which they hang
suspended TX knowledge.

DISAPPEARING WRITING.
The Way nig s;viutiIc Was Succcss-
fully Worked In Paris.

\ number OF parjSian tinaucCrS were
recently defrauded of a very consider
able sum of money hy a swindlcr who
relied for the success of his scheme Cn-
trcIy upon the peculiar properties Of
iodidc OF starch. Posing as Il man of
considerable wealth. whose money WAS
tied up in such Il manner that he could
not realize without heavy losses and
pretending. to have the option of some
valuable concessions in China. he OBJ
tanned various large amounts of money
in exchange for bills dated to stand
for three months.
No ono for a moment suspected that
there WIS anything in the least degree
shady about the man or his tranSac-
tions. and when he made it public that
he had been successful in selling his
creditors felt absolutely certain that
he would meet his bills.
TO their immense surprise, however,
when they came to look through their
papers to find the bills they only found
bills With blank spaces in the places
where tie swindler's s;ame should have
been and had actually been. They
clamorel round him for an explanation
OF the strange affair but he denied that
he had ever given any of them bills and
detied them to sue him for repayment
of the loans. and the fact that the bills
We're devoid of the sWindlcr's sigma
ture rendered them absolutely worth
less.
The matter was put into the hands of
| tie police. who We're able to discover
that in signing the hills the man had
used a solution of iOdide of starch,
| which, when first used for writing. :p-
| pears much the same as ordinary ink,
but completely disappears in the course
| of a few weeks. and although traces
| of the chemical may subsequently be
! discovered, nothing can make the writ
ing show up again. Finding that his
| victims had discovered his method, the
scbcmer decamped. despite the fact
| that the chances of the police obtain
| in. a conviction against him We're very
remote indeed.

Late yesterday afternoon the tenn

Things didn't run smoothly in the
Grimes household and the young
bride soon tired of married life and
returned TO her parents.
Some time since Grimes fled
