JAMES J. CoRBETT.

Waterbury is giving the famous James J. Corbett an enthusiastic well come at the Jacques this afternoon, and he will undoubtedly be the great lion of the city all the week. There is more than the usual interest in Cor bett just now because of the fact that he is matched to fight Jeffries in San Francisco next August and the well de fined belief in the best informed sport ing circles that he will win back the worlds championship which he lost by a iuke to Bob Fitzsimmons at Carson City six years ago. Corbett, however, doesn't appear at the Jacques in his
 capacity as a boxer. but in the mono logue that has won him fame as the
 best story teller on the stage at the present day. There is nothing about his carriage on the stage that in any way suggests the pugiIist unless, per
 haps, it be that most of his stories con- cern personal experiences in connection with his boxing matches. and it seems
 far-f fetched almost to realize that this handsome man and witty story teller is beyond all question the most scien- tific boxer that the world has ever pro- duced. Probably because of this fact and the additional one that the ladies
 love a manly man, he attracts the la- dies quite as much as he does the men to every show where he Is the central figure. In New Haven and Bridgeport. where he has been appearing in MT PoE's theaters, the ladies were among his most numerous and most enthusi- astic auditors, and the same experience Is looked for here. The bill in addition to him will be good one, being pro vided by the Adonis Trio. Leroy and Woodford. Frank Cotton and his edu- cated donkeys. the Deagons. Russell and Locke. Fields and Wha1len and the vitagraph. Prices are 1O 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20. ladies 10 cents.

ODD CALL FOR DOCTOR. Rich Phf1adelphian summarily sum- moned Medical Man to Join
 Him in . Morning Lunch.

.'Yes, we doctors have all sorts of queer calls 7 said South Twelfth street physician to Philadelphia Record reporter, "and we get sort of schooled to take everything as a matter of course. Sometimes, though, it's hard. For instance, one night last week, after I had been in bed and asleep for about three hours, my night bell rang, and there was a message from rich patient of mine who wanted to see me at once. It was then 9 o'clock in the morning. When reached his apartments in the fashionable hotel where he lives, I found his sitting in his dressing gown, smoking a cigar. Whats the matter?' I asked. Are you sick P No, I'm all right he said. I'm just lonely; that's all We'll, that made me mad. What the deuce do you mean by getting me out of bed at

Terrible Parasites of Egypt.

Two parasitic worms, bilharzia and ankylostomum, work terrible havoc among natives of Egypt, How these parasites reach the intestines has been matter of much speculation, but Prof. Looss, accidentally injecting him. self with anky1ostomiasis by allowing a drop of water to rest on his hand, has been able to prove that the larvae of one species at least enters the body through the skin. As the same is doubtless true of bilharzia, simple wading in the infected Nile explains the prevalence of two. dread diseases. Medical Journal.

GlarinE EfTrontery.

Uncle Absalom Ashby was much given to retailing old and hackneyed jokes. An acquaintance of his, think ing to cure him of the practice, one day gave him 8 copy of Joe Miller's Jest Book, l" with the remark that he might find something new in It."
 The next time he met the old gentle man he asked him: Well, uncle, what do you think of that book gave you the other day2'
 q don't know who that sere Joe Mfl- Ter is," indignantly responded Uncle Absalom, "but I do know he's thief. He's got hold of lot of my best stories and printed 'em, consarn Mml''-- Youths Companion.

 No, it is my dog" said the woman. I'll prove thatit is mine, replied lit tie Miss Kohlsaat, with the blood of born determination and justice.
 By this time quite crowd of chill dren and passers-by had collected, and the girl, with the dog in her arms, faced her antagonist as lawyer faces jury. Can your dog stand up and beg?" said she.

HER OWN SOLOMON.
How a Bright Little Chicago 0sxa Re- gained Possession of a Long
 Lost Canine Pet.

The Chicago papers tell this story of little Miss Kohlsaat, who argued and won case of her own. The little girl lost much-loyed pet dog some time back, and recently saw it riding in a carriage with handsomely gowned lady. The carriage was going very slowly and near the pavement, and the little girl delightedly called her pet dog by name. With whine of joy the animal sprang from the vehicle and, running to little Miss Kohlsaat, began jumping about her and licking her hands for sheer joy.

Why There Are whlte FsasAsrs.

No white pigments have been found in feathers, and the whiteness of white feathers Is ascribed to total reflection of light from their exposed surfaces. Some have supposed the reelection to be from air spaces, or bubbles, in the feather structure, but R. Nj. Strong, of Haverford college, says that the white effect is mainly dependent, as in the case of snow or powdered glass. upon the small size of the structural ele- ments. These have a large number of surfaces so placed for any position of the eye that there is maximum re- hection to the eye, and almost no ab- sorption by the unpigmented feather substance.-Youth's Companion.

A Russian savant lays claim to a dis covery for detecting criminals. Ac- cording to M. Karloff, you can tell a criminal by the coior of his eyes.

Between Rich ana Poor.

In English law courts too much dis tinction is made between poor and wealthy parties. This state of affairs is partly attributable to the want of a code of criminal law and procedure.
