AN EPIDEMIC OF LAUGHTER
Ihree Young People in Illinois Town
who Nearly Die from Irrepres-
sible Merriment

The young people of Wellington. in
Iroquois county. ILL.,, are suffering
from an epidemic of laughter, which
has baffled the doctors and has caused
much distress. The first victim of the
affection was Miss Etfie Hamilton. the
15-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
l.. Nj. Hamilton. She laughed unceas-
ingly for four days. until her father,
not knowing what else to do dashed a
glass of cold water in her face The
shock had the desired effect. but for a
long time the girl was exceedingly
weak from the strain of her four DAYS
of laughing
The second victim was Miss Rosa.
Butts. aged Is. Sac was taken much
the same way as Miss Hamilton. but
the cold water cure had only tempo
rary effect. The girl was finally
stopped. but not until her condition
had become alarming.
The third victim is Young man,
John Kimherlin. who laughed for al
most week. and then only let up ow-
ing to his excessive weakness. The
young people were all similarly af-
tiicted. and during their hysterical at
tacks were unable to eat or sleep. so
the deblitating effect Of their ailment
can easily be understood.
The utmost solemnity is the rule in
Wellington now, and anythings calcu-
lated to start even mild laugh is
promptly suppressed

THE WATER CURE"
Gen. Funston Describes a Method
of Torture in Philippines.
Had Never Seen 1t Applied to the Ma
ttves by American Soldiers, and
Did Not Believe 1t Was
Practiced to Any Extent.

Gen. Frederick Funston, in discuss
ing the water cure" form of tor
ture charged against the soldiers in
the Philippines, said that he had
never seen the water cure" applied,
but he had heard it described. The
victim is bound and canteen forced
INTO his mouth" said the general
His head is thrown upward and
back and his nose grasped by the
fingers of the torturer. Strangula-
ton follows as a matter of course.
When the victim is about suffocated
the application isa released and he is
given chance to talk on recovery or
take another dose of it. The opera
ton is brutal beyond doubt, but
hardly fatal.
THE charge which have just re-
futed at the request of the war de-
partment was most vague. 1t was
made by "A soldier and to the effect
that he had helped administer the
water cure to 100 natives That is
the kind OF rot soldier is apt to
write home when business is dull
and he has three or four beers I'M
der his jacket to help his imagina-
ton. Nothing of the kind ever oc-
Cured with the knowledge of the Of
ficers or ever occurred at all, for
that matter"

eral bridges were damaged With the exception of this and that of Panama in 1921 and Rivas in lS44, the worst that has happened at the isthmus upon either line was to throw down or crack a few walls; and even in these cases it is to be remembered that compara- lively few of the houses were substan- tially built.
 The commission thinks it possible ana even probable that the more accurate ly fitting portions of the canal, such as the lock gates, may at times be dis torted by earthquakes, and some incon- venience may result therefrom That contingency may be classed with the accidental collision of ships with the gates. and is to be provided for in the same way, by duplicate gates. It IS possible also that a Assure might open which would drain the canal, and It 1t remained open, might destroy it. But if we are going to be scared by earth quakes which may come there will be no canal. It wont be the fear of earth quakes that will prevent the canal from being dug.

Our neighbor Rhode Island is justly famous for it's turkeys, which do not grow fat in the way a writer said they did-by coming over into Connecticut and eating tobacco worms. It is also famous for it's easy divorces, and while the turkeys can't be bettered there is growing idea. in the State that the di- vorce situation can and must be. Two bills which have just been introduced into tha Rhode Island legislature are aimed at the divorce evil. One provides for an increase from one year to two wears in the time of residence within the State required before divorces can be granted, and largely eliminates non-support" as a reason for divorce. No separation shall be granted for neg lect to provide unless the husband shall have been convicted and sentenc- ed upon a criminal complaint in this State for such neglect to provide" The other bill provides that the testimony in divorce cases shall be given in open court, unless a physicians certificate is presented stating that the witness is unable to be present, or unless it ap- pears that the witness is out of the State.
 Many of the good people of Rhode Island have been much agitated by the way the divorce business has been done in their State, and these bills are one result of the agitation. If they become law they will doubtless improve mat ters

 The chief food of the beaver consists of the tender bark of young trees, par ticularly that of birches and willows, but he also eats aquatic roots ana bulbs and in captivity he has shown liking for many of the common garden vegetables.
 Yesterday I paid visit to the beav- CTS in the Geological garden at Bronx Park, New York, where most of the an inals are kept under conditions as closely resembling those of nature as absolute safety to visitors will permit. Here these interesting animals have cut down trees, damned the stream as- signed to them and built their lodges with as much confidence as though they had been free in the wilds Of Maine or Canada.

that it will no longer take mine tail- ors to make man.
 The fashionable tailors have been caught shy on journeymen of the first classes. There were plenty of men. women and children who could make garments of the "hand-me- down" quail ity, but when 1t came to one of those dreams in the way of dresscoats such as the members of the smart set are wont to wear to the evening funct ion, the theater party or the charity ball, they were not able to stay in the game. Nor were those all the difficulties that beset the thorny pathways of the mer- chant tailors. The haunting spectre of the back shop was the union. This or ganization of ''needle-jerkers'' would not allow the Introduction of appren- tices, and the stock of tailors has been fast running out. D. F. Sherman, the champion of the school for the educa- ton of the tailor which Is to be estab- lished in Milwaukee, declared last even- ing-and his declaration was echoed and re-echoed by the others who attended the meeting of merchant tailors in the Plankington clubrcom last evening" that the demanad for frst-class tailors wasa 50 per cent. in advance of the sup- | ply.
 | Then the boss tailors put their heads 1 together and formuated plan for the | tailors' school They are to hire a teacher, who will be paid 3 regular sal- ary, year in and year out. to cross pedal extremities upon bench in some hall to be rented and there teach boys how to make garments of the higher order.
