SHOCKED LADIES OF COURT.
DR.. Lorenz Once Barred His Feet in
Presence Of a QueAn.

with the gracious permission Of
the ladies and gentlemen here, l will
remove my shoes and stockings
The speaker, according to the New
York Tribune, was DR.. Lorenz. the
famous orthopedic specialist from Vi
emma, whose cure Of Lolita Armour
and the immense fee which he re-
ceiyeG for it have made his name
known over the whole world. Hewas
operating at Rochester at special
clinic given in the city hospital. His
first case was that of an eight-year-
old boy with bad example of club
foot The age Of the child made
the work difficult, and in spite of
his great strength the surgeon had
trouble in kneading and tearing the
muscles and ligaments. The floor
was oiled hardwood, and this added
to his difficulties, giving no brace for
his feet. DIR. j. I. w. Whitbeck, a
Rochester surgeon, said he would
hold him. and stretched out one foot
for DR.. Lorenz to use for a block.
The great surgeon gave one hercule-
an strain and DR.. Whitbeck was sent
flying back ten feet. 1t was then
that DR.. Lorenz made the obscrya-
ton quoted above.
When he had removed the shoes
and stockings he went on with the
operation, all the time talking 10 the
spectators, as is hi; custom. This
time he told a good story with much
hnmor.
"lt is frequently The case" he said,
"that the slipperincss Of the floor
makes it impossible for my feet to
hold sure. SO then do what / have
just done. and remove my shoes and
my stockings. Once | was called 10
Madrid to operate upon the daughter
Of close friend of Hhe queen dowa-
ger Of Spain. Maria Christina. 1t was
a Gilficult case land the queen desired
to be present. The floor was slippery,
and l was having a hard time with
my feet. The queen and some Of the
great court ladies stood beside me.
and my mind was in doubt. At-last I
said:
IF it please your majesty, will
ask permission to remove my shoes
and stockings
The court ladies looked at one
another in astonishment, but the
queen smiled.
you are the ruler here, doctor,
and l am your subject she said.
so ] took off my shoes and stock
ings before the queen Of Spain. and
the operation was successful. But |
always felt that the ladies in waiting
were rather shocked about it.

Smallest British Coin.

In the British crown colony of
Hong-Kong a coin is in circulation
known as the mil" This is tiny
copper coin with a hole in the cen
ter intended to take the place Of
the Chinese cash." which is one
ffty-third Of penny, and is in gen
eral use among the coolies in the
colony. The mil is one-tenth part
Of a cent, one thousandth part
of a dollar, and as the silver dollar in
use in Hong-Kong is worth about
Is. I'd. it follows that the mil is worth
about one-sixtieth part of a penny.
This, therefore, is the value Of the
smallest British coin.

BARS TO DIVORCES.
some Countries Make It Dihieult to
Sever the Marital Tie.

RSN1A NAC AAAAANoA AASs
Some curious and interesting facts
regarding the marriage and divorce
laws of foreign countries are con-
tanned in a British parliamentary
paper just issued, says the London
Express. Breaches Of promise are
ayerted in Hungary by an express
declaration of the civil marriage act
1895, that "the relations created by
betrothal do not give right TO de.
msnd the conclusion of marriage,
but if either party withdraws from
an engagement without just reason
be or she is bound to grant compen-
sation to the extent Of the outlay in
Cured"
Divorce in he English sense does
NOT exist. but the courts can decree
the personal separation of married
couple without dissolyng the bonds
of matrimony
A curious law prevailing in France
provides that, before being married,
children of family although over
age, shall seek in respectful and
formal terms" the advice of their
father and mother. 1t makes nodif-
ference, however, whether or not the
consent of parents is given, for the
couple can be married month
month afterward under any circum-
stances This is also the case in The
Netherlands.
The German courts ADOPT re-
markable procedure in divorce ac-
tions I'm the interest Of public NOR

must be made between the parties in
the presence of the judge. The at
torDey general is bound TO cooperate
an this and is empowered to bring
new evidence which may tend to pre-
went the dissolution Of the marriage.

proved, a divorce is granted and the

THE CAT As 4 JUMPER.
Prof Won Jogeleby's Observations on
an interesting Subject.

''Some little time ago" said Prof.
Won Joggleby. according to the New
York Sun, Gin communicating to you
something's concerning cats which
had come under my observation in
the range Of backwards that ! have in
view from my study window | spoke
of the marvellous jumping ability dis
PLAYED by these animals. which then
for the first time came to my knowl-
edge
"The yards comprised in this range
are divided by board fences six feet
or more in height, up whose sheer
face the cat jumps with perfect ease,
10 walk then with great contentment
along the narrow coping board with
which each fence is topped. | now
desire to say something concerning
the marvellous way in which the cats
jump down from these high fences to
the ground
'In jumping up the cat first
crouches on the ground at the foot of
the fence, strikingly like a tiger in
manner and appearance. And, hav-
ing gathered itself thus, the cat
springs upward, to hit the fence at a
point about two-thirds the way up
from the ground, climbing the rest of
the way with its claws.
''The jumping down is practically
a reversal of this method, the cat
showing in the down jump a remark
able instructive knowledge of how to
accomplish this jump without do
ing itself injury in the drop.
Il have never measured a cat, but
/ should think that, at liberal esti-
mate, an ordinary cat might measure
from tip to tip two feet; which would
make a jump for it from the top of a
six foot fence of three times its
own length. Imagine what would
happen to a six-foot man jumping
three times his own height, or Is
feet straight down. But if the man
could make his jump the way the cat
makes it, he would be in far less dan
ger Of doing himself injury.
Jumping down, the cat crouches
again. now on the top Of the fence,
very tiger-like in appearance as be-
fore, low, flat down on the fence top,
and gathers itself so for the spring,
with every muscle under control
And then it does not jump clear from
there to the ground, butitjust slides,
head first, plump down the face Of
the fence for about one-third of its
height, and then takes off from there
with an oblique downward jump,
landing with a shock reduced by one
third. at least, from the shock it
would have got if it had jumped clear
from the top.
Remarkable creature, when you
come to know il a little. the cat?"

Oriental Pearls,

To the trade the scarcity of the ORR.
entail pearl is becoming a matter of deen
concern. The supply, says a contempt.
rary, has fallen off within the past year
at least 10 per cent, and the price has
advanced from 30 to 50 per cent. Wheth.
er the known pearl fisheries Of the world
are giving out for good we cannot say.
but certain it is that many Of these fish.
cries have of late been worked out: and
as no new ones have been discovered.
the supply is correspondingly1 essened. If
what remains of the ocean pearl fisheries
continues to give out as rapidly in the
future as in the immediate past it will be-
come a case Of literal exhaustion. and
real Oriental pearls will command about
their own price. Pearls are always in
style. Many women attach q sentimental
ity to pear Is that they throw around No
other precious stone. It is the sparkle
that catches the eye Of the diamond, and
it is the luster Of the real pearl that has
the same fascination to women. Men do
not especially care for pearls, nor do they
appreciate them as gems. They are grad
ed by size, luster and color, black pearls
being costly. The most expensive and
rare pearl is a true pink. There are
pearls of a pinkish hue, but we have seen
but one or two true pink pearls in an ex-
perience Of thirty years. A true pink
pearl the size Of single carat diamond
is worth about any price-say, f5OOO-
and it might be impossible to match it

TRAILING WILD ANIMALS.
Fascination of Hunting Them by Their
F00fnrinta 49, 49,"

Trailing deer is one of the finest sports
of America, either UP in the SHOWS Of
Manitoba or down in the South and
West, where the black-tailed deer abound
i'll the hills. The deer is swift and cum
ming, and the hunter must needs be
strong in wind and limb to follow where
he leads, and very wise to unravel the
story Of his footprints.
The elegant hOof mark of the deer
could never be anything but a deer's inn
print to the old hunter-but men may
live for years in places where deer are
found, and yet, on coming across foot
print, be unable to determine whether it
was made by deer or by a sheep or q
pig: Indeed, the footprints of deer. sheep
and pig, seen singly, are remarkably
alike, and only an expert can tell the
one from the other.
To trail deer successfully needs the
cunning of the North American Indian.
who knows from the mere touch and
smell of the track not only how long ago
the track was made, but also the size and
condition Of the deer who made it. The
hunting Indian is as cunning as the hunt
ed deer himself; he seems himself to en-
ter into the very workings Of the brute
mind. %* IL -
The first mistake made by the young
deer hunter is to follow too closely on his
game. If the, hunter watches the trail
at his feet, instead Of looking ahead, he
may stumble on his deer unawares.-
