There's been lot Of talk about
The women latest fad,
The style Of wearing socks so short
They'd barely suit a lad
Some mon are saying it's a shame
That women thus conspire
And to their use appropriate
Things meant for male attire.
But when one thinks Of other things
That women took for dress
TITS plainly seen that this new fad
Need cause no man distress,
For long ago the women donned
Hats made like those for men,
And when they wearied Of that fad
They started IN again.
They took to shirts Of mannish style,
and. though that caused surprise
They promptly added mannish cuffs
Man collars and mans ties.
And when cold weather came along
Some thought they were not dressed
Unless they wore q mannish coat
AS well as mannish vest
They ve broken into many sports
Man thought were all his own,
And on the field athletic girls
Their prowess oft have shown.
We've heard them at the baseball games
Join in the fans refrains,
And we have seen them promenade
While pertly swinging canes
So when we think OF all these things
There's no excuse for shocks
Because the women have fad
OF wearing half length socks
Don't make q fuss about the STYLE
Don't say that It's a shame.
For no odds what the fair ones wasy
They're charming just the same.

Ifanyone rises to remark that hedg-
hog bounty is not a success, just point out
to him that since New Hampshre's law
went into effect four months ago bounties
have been paid on 1900 Of the animals at
a cost Of 81 ,970.50. Nor is that all the
tale as the figures above given are for 26
towns, or one-tenth Of the states total
number, and ais the Concord Monitor re-
marks If the rest Of the state approaches
the record of this section and the siaugh-
ter continues, a record win be made al
most equal to the famous woodchuek
days. And we venture the opinion that
the 'wondehuck days must necessarily
have been pretty famous in order to equal
this years hedgehog record. In two small
towns alone over 1000 of the animals
have been killed, and there are eight
months left to complete the record. New
Hampshire's bounty is twenty-five cents a
head, and to prevent Interstate commerce
in the lucrative business a ine Of not less
than $40 or thirty days imprisonment or
both, IS fixed for the person who presents
the head Of hedgehog killed in another
state and presented to the seleetmen Of
any New Hampshire town for bounty. So
far as Vermont is concerned this prohibi-
tion is unnecessary as this state Is as gem
erous.

He SOLD HIS HEAD.
Peculiar Condition in Which Wealthy
Russian Finds Himself,

A curious story comes from Russia
about man who sold his lead. About
the year 1866 there lived man at
Keff with an enormous head. A Rus
sian scientist, Prof. Walker, in order
to secure the head for scientific pur-
poses, bought 1t from its possessor for
500 roubles. The condition Of sale
was that it should only be delivered
after the mans decease; but when
the transaction got abroad great
scandal was created. The professor,
however, stuck to his bargain, and the
big head applied itself to business.
Fortune smiled on the latter; he fell
heir to a big fortune, and then he
began to feel uncomfortable at the
thought that the head belonged to an
other. He went to the professor, offer
ed him 1000. 1900, even 1000 roubles
II only he would give him back the
absolute ownership Of his headpiece.
But the professor held out, and for
aught that issknown to the contrary he
is still holding out.-Pearson's Week

FgLARIA is a NEW DlsEAsE.
Responsible for the Death Of Many
American Soldiers.

Capt. Charles Kieener. United
States army surgeon, says the Phil
ippines are infested with mosquitoes
more troublesome and dangerous from
a medical point of view than those
that swarm in the Jersey swamps. A
strange ma,ady known as filaria is
traced directly to them, and is COM
mon among the American soldiers
Quartered on the islands. Soldiers
contract the disease by drinking
water from stagnant pools in which
the mosquitoes have laid their eggs.
The first Indication Of filaria ap-
pears in the form Of worm in the
victims thorax. This develops into
elephantiasis, which causes the pa.
tient terrible pains, accompanied by
constant cough. The sufferer ts
worst at night, and the patient be-
comes q prey to insomnia.
The only remedy lies In an opera
ton, which tn itself is dangerous and

Few people know that man, bulk

it appears that such is the case. The
matter was tested not long since at q
fair In America, one Of the attractions
Of which was contest Of yoke Of
oxen against an equal weight Of men.
A drag was loaded with granite blocks,
weighing in the aggregate 1859
pounds. The yoke of oxen that made
the trial weighed 1920 pounds, and
twenty men, allowing 100 pounds to
the man, were set against them. The
men took hold of the drag first, and
easily walked off with it, covering 9
distance of IS feet in the space Of two
minutes. The oxen at their trial moved
only eighty-fve feet in the same length
of time, and the men were accordingly
declared winners.-Pearsons Weekly.
