A deadly plague was raging in the
city of Marseilles The doctors could
do nothing, for very little was known
Of the disease, owing to the danger sur
rounding any inquiry into It. In a
council among themselves they came to
the conclusion that the corpse Of vic
tim must be dissected, but 1t would be
death to the operator Upon this being
decided celebrated physician, one of
their number, arose and declared that
for the safety Of his country he would
give himself up to the task. He then
Immediately left the room, made his
will and arranged his affairs. At day
break on the following morning he en-
tered the house where man had just
died Of the plague. Here he made a
complete examination of the body, per-
formed the necessary operations and
wrote down all he observed. When
this was completed he left the house,
threw the notes he had made into vine
gar that they might not carry infection
and retired to lonely spot. There he
died within twelve hours

The young of the poisonous species
Of serpents, deserted from the very first
by the parent snakes, are as dangerous
as IL full grown from the moment they
enter the world. The proprietor of u
Philadelphia museum learned this to
his cost. In big glass case partitioned
through the middle by wire screen
there lived side by side an eleven foot
anaconda (of the constructor family
and colony of cotton mouth moe
casins. 1t was impossible for the moe
casins to glide through the narrow
meshes of the screen or even to ven
ture an occasional strike" at their
large and peaceful neighbor. But dur
ing the night brood Of young cotton
mouths Unexpectedly appeared-babies,
not five inches long. They squlrmed
through the meshes Of the partition
and before they had been two hours in
this world were gliding joyfully over
the lifeless body Of the huge constructor,
which lay poisoned by the youngsters

1t happened at the Mansion House
police court. A man who claimed to
be q sailor and who said that he had
been badly injured through an acci-
dent at sea was charged with begging
in the city. The chief magistrate
caught sight of a bluejacket in court
and addressing him, said, You might
please ask this man some questions to
find out If he is a sailor or whether he
is an impostor." The naval man stood
up, and, looking at the prisoner asked,
Can you tell me how many yards of
canvas there are on the mainsheet"
After some consideration the sham
nautical man replied, II think about
sixty yards" 1t only remained for the
real tar to explain TO the magistrate
that the mainsheet was rope and not
a sail for the beggar to be convicted

KipIiug Wanted sKis Breakfast.

Rudyard Kipling once visited Cecil
Rhodes at LekkerwiJn, one of his fruit
farms at Paarl, South Africa. one
morning Rhodes went round his farm
before breakfast, leaving his guest who
was not so energetic, behind. Time
went on, and Rhodes did not appear.
Hunger soon reused Kipling to action,
and in a short while lie was very busy
On his own account. AS Rhodes re-
turned he found his trees bearing
new kind of fruit in the shape of
placards inscribed in huge black let
ters with "Famine!' I'VE are starv-
lng!' Feed us"' etc. On reaching
the front door he was confronted with
the following, in still larger type: For
the human Breakfast tones the
mind. invigorates the body. 1t has sus-
tained thousands it will sustain you
See that you get It," Then in the
house. on every available wall he came
across other mysterious placards, In
more and more pathetic appeal, why
die when a little breakfast prolongs
life?" Larger and larger grew the
type, at is late; it Is still later" lead
ing at last into the little breakfast
room, where he found kipling reading
his paper In peaceful innocence, but
very hungry. 1t did not need much in
genuity to guess the author Of these

No man living perhaps can pronounce
the English language Alright at all
times and in all places, for correctness
depends largely on time and place, and
sometimes to be right you must be
wrong. AS soon as you step on ship
board and sail, the horizon, being clear
and definite, sheds the need for Il
long 81" and at sea it rhymes with
"orizon.' In the army route is al
ways called "rowte." Moreover, the
cavalry, by long standing tradition,
calls horse an 'orse," and the order
is 'stand to 'orses. London Globe.

Some curious anecdotes are related Of
Hermann Zumpe, the Wagnerian con-
ductor at Munich. He was we'll known
to be a spirituallst and believed that
the ghosts Of dead composers inspired
his conducting of their works. One day
Zumpe told another conductor of note
how Beethoven's spirit was present
during the performance Of one of the
symphonies, and SO pleased was the
ghost that after the end of the first
movement he exclaimed "At lastr'
"Ah, my dear fellow" exclaimed the
other conductor, ''surely Beethoven
made mistake. He thought 1t was the
end of the last movement"

Kept in a warm room or by the

nate and grow up into a beautiful
plant, extending its branches over the

Too Much For Him.

Voltaire could not speak much Eng
lish. The reason why he refused to
study the language is this: 1t was
drilled into him that plague" was
pronounced ''plaig" which he thought
very pretty and acceptable. But right
on top of it he was introduced to
"ague," which his teacher said must
be called "a-gue." Finding it impos-
sible to reconcile the difference, he
went off into a philosophical tantrum
and dropped the study.

The new digest of decisions of the
Minnesota supreme court, to be pre-
pared by Attorney Mark B. DunnelJ

ed by the court yesterday, will be pub
lished two years hence. f-3
= The last Legislature directed the SUI
preme court to arrange for the publ
cation of the new digest, and specified
that 500 copies of the work. when
completed, are to be purchased by
the state. This enactment answered
a widespread demand on the part OF
Minnesota lawyers. They are now re-
stricted to digest issued under pri-
vate auspices in three volumes and
covering some sixty-seven Of the
eighty-seven volumes of Minnesota
reports already published. A fourth
volume of the same digest would be
needed within two years, when TIN:
number of volumes Of reports would be
at least 100. The new digest will APP
pear as two volumes, royal octave, OF
1000 pages each.
Mr.. Dunnell, the editor chosen by
the court, is the author of several vol
umes upon Minnesota law that have
found favor with the bar. In the prep
aration Of his digest he has been di-
rected by the court to observe the
rules for digesting as adopted by the
American Bar association, with view
to securing uniform references and
induces for decisions by all American
courts.

VALUE OF EAST SIDE PROPERTY

APPRAISERS.

It will cost sos, O5O to secure the two
blocks designated for the East Side
park in connection with the Interna-
tional Auditorium grounds. This
amount has been fixed by the apprais-
ers. and while the awards are salts

tum of the appraisers.
The board has awarded total of

and $4,000 for the block between the
auditorium and Central avenue. OF

pany is awarded s20,55O, Mary Eliza

usual way, the East Siders will have
to pay $500 a year for ten years. If
the assessments should be extended
SO as to include 1000 lots, the average
would be IS, but property facing the
park would naturally be assessed at

Washington, Dec. 10.-Friends of
Mrs. J. J. Carlisle, or Debralls, whose
husband was arrested here Tuesday
night on request of the Minneapolis
police on charges of larceny, have in
duced her to leave Washington pend
ing the disposition of his case, and
where she will be cared for by friends
and will get the rest which she so
badly needs.
Meantime Carlisle is at the police
station here, waiting the arrival of
Minneapolis officers with a requisi-
ton for his extradition. A telegram
was received stating. that an officer
would reach Washington tomorrow
afternoon. Carlisle has not made up
his mind whether he will fight ex-
tradition, or waive examination and
return to Minneapolis for trial.
Carlisle displays a most intimate
knowledge of the business of De-
bralls academy Of hypnotism. To
the Journal correspondent to-day he
up $500 but $3.50. He asserts that
she bought a fourth interest in the
business, giving that sum for it, and
arranged to share in the profits. His
connection with the transaction was
to act as reference" Miss Heebner
would not put up her money until
Debralls had given her some refer
ence as to the stability Of the con-
Germ and the prospects of profit.
'I advised her that it was good
investment" said Carlisle. IT be-
lieved it was, and is yet for that mat
