In the Wrong Place.

Joseph Meyer, a Milwaukee harness
maker, who attracted q great deal of
attention from physicians some years
ago because of the unusual location of
his heart, is dead. The heart failed to
do its work at last, although until
few hours before his death he appeared
to be as we'll as ever Not only was
his heart on his right side in the ex-
act location it should have been on his
left, but the positions of all his utter
nal organs were in just the opposite
positions to which they are found in
the average man.

THINGS YOU NEVER HEAR.

When young, a top you oft saw spun,
but did you see grin e'er grun, or a
potato neatly skun?
If we forget, then we've forgotten; but
things we wet are never wotren, and
houses let cannot be lotten.
The goods one sells are always sold;
but fears dispelled are not dispold, nor
what you smell is never snoled.
When words you speak, those words
are spoken; but nose is tweaked, and
can't be twoken, and what you seek II
never soken.

The announcement that Great
Britain has lifted its embargo on
American cattle is of interest even to
people who only know such portions
of American cattle as are delivered to
them off the broiler or out of the oven,
because it has followed the thorough
stamping out of the foot and mouth
disease in this country; and the thor
ough stamping out of the foot and
mouth disease previous to the meet
ing of congress is an achievement for
which the agricultural department can
not receive too much credit. Uncle Sam
can stamp out almost anything.

Commander Peary, of the United
States navy, who has leave of absence
to try for the north pole again, is
quoted as saying that sit cost 5000, 1000
to defend the cup in the recent yacht
races and that quarter of that sum
would be sufficient for us to reach the
pole" Arctic exploration or north pole
hunting excites only languid interest,
but this way of putting it might
awaken attention. Commander Peary
has devoted the best years of his life
to this quest, and, undeterred by diff
culties, not the least of which have
been financial, will try again.

Preparing for HostiIities.

New York, Oct. 12.-Information
from two sources, says a Times dis
patch from Vienna, is to the effect that
Russia is making extraordinary prep
arations for the contingency of war
with Japan.
A well-informed parsonage who was
lately at st. Petersburg says the Rus
sian military authorities expect the
outbreak of hostilities within the next
few weeks. The whole trans-Caspian
territory as far as Samarkand is seri-
ously crippled as regards railway traf-
fic by the large drafts of men and
material for the far east. The Russian
troops in Trans-Caspia are alleged to
be embittered in consequence of the
manner in which their province is neg
lected in favor of Manchuria and the
Pacific coast.

HostiIe Attitude Mutual.

Berlin, Oct 12.-Russia and Japan act
as though either would fight if the other
should hold immovably to the position
taken up in the last exchange of COM
munications,-th is the actual situa-
ton as understood officially from re-
ports received from the German en-
bassy in st. Petersburg and the German
legation at Toxic. Yet, this mutual at
titude with hostile preparations by both
countries is still regarded here as not
excluding an honorable arrangement.
Neither government has gone so far that
1t must fight or be Inundated, but Ell
Their cabinet by single step can put the
other in that position. This delicate bal
ance has been thrown on either scale.
1t is believed here officially that war,
should it occur, would be between Rus
STA and Japan alone, and that neither
England nor France would be involved.
