HANDY JOBS FOR MANNED.
Th 10 e htful Corporation Mt EImira, N
Y, Provides for Injured
Employees.

"Up in my city," said ex-senator J.
Sloat Fassett, Of Elmira, to New
York Times writer, "we have a corpo-
ration more thoughtful of its employees
than are most corporations. Ere
quently one of them gets hand or an
arm taken off, but instead of casting
the men so manned adrift the corpora
ton provides places for them where
men with but one hand can work salts
factOrily. The one-armed men soon
learn to profit to certain extent by
their misfortune. The men with right
hands pair off with the men with left
hands and in that way one pair Of
gloves, mittens, cuffs and such things
does for both.
But more practicable even than
that is the sight of two such men at
the theater. A man with right hand
left sits next to man with left hand
also left and when anything pleases
them they turn instinctively toward
each other, clap their remaining hands
together and contribute more than
would seem possible to the applause"

DARE NOT HINT AT MURDER.
Turkish Newspapers Are Not Permit
ted to Refer to the Crime
Of Regicide.

The sultan of Turkey lives in con-
slant dread of death at the hands of
an assassin and the most extraordi-
nary means are taken to guard his per-
son from their approach. He has like
wise prohibited any mention of the
crime of regicide in the newspapers
published in his domain. He insists
that every ruler or person Of high po-
litical Importance should die a natural
death. The Stampa of Turin says that
other manners Of death are not Off
eially recognized by Nischan Effendi,
the censor. When King Humbert was
assassinated at Mona the Turkish
newspapers announced the sad event
in this way: king Humbert left the
hall amid the frantic cheers Of the peo-
pie. The king. much affected, bowed
several times and to all appearances
was Immediately dead" When the
shah Of Persia was assassinated the
Turkish papers said: an the after
noon the shah drove TO his summer
palace and there complained of illness
His corpse was sent TO Teheran." One
paper excelled all others by this absurd
piece Of euphemistic simplification:
"The shah left little Ill. but finally
his corpse returned to the palace"
This was too much even for the Turks,
who keep the phrase, as one Of their
s,raverhc

LAND WIRELESS NEWSPAPER.
First Publication of the Kind I'm In
History of journalism, on tho
Pacific Coast.

The only daily newspaper in the
world publishing "sure-enough" dis
patches transmitted by wireless telc-
graph had its birth on March 25 at
Avalon, Santa Catalina island. The
event is important in the history Of
journalism and marks the beginning
of an epoch in the dissemination Of
news in isolated places, says the Sci
cntifc American. The name of the
infant journal Is the Wireless, APP
propriatcly SO called on account Of
the method by which it receives the
news of the busy world. The unique
sheet begins its career in the shape
Of n thrcc-column folio, the exact
size Of the pages being II by 6
inches. In this convenient form Is
crowded, in addition TO the local
news Of Avalon, an cpitomc OF the
local and general news appearing
simultaneously in the Los Angeles
Times, thus giving the residents Of
the island and visitors TO its lovely
shores Il comprehensive synopsis OF
all the principal news OF the world

AND THE FROG CAME BACK.
Was Taken Far from His FavOrlte
Spring House, But They Couldn't
Lose Him.

Nearly every living thing has local
habitation and abiding place which it
regards as its home. Even frogs have
an attachment for particular places in
which to spend their leisure hours.
About three years ago Pennsylvania
farmer named Anderson found a large
frog in front of the spring house, and
when the milkmaid opened the door
to put her pail of milk in the spring
the frog hoped in behind her.
"Goodness!" said the maid, "but
you're big fellow"
1t was big fellow. From his nose
to the ends of his extended legs the
frog measured IS inches. 1t hoped
out of reach of the girls hand and par
TALLY buried itself in a bed of clay in
the darkest corner of the spring house.
There, in stupor, neither eating nor
drinking, it remained until the spring.
Then it departed.
Each autumn since then the frog
has appeared at the first sign of frost
and made his winter bed in the spring
house. This year he came as usual
But the farmer desired to make an ex-
pertinent on him. He was awakened,
lifted from his warm clay nest, placed
in a wagon and carried to a place q
mile down the road. There he was
left.
Before evening he was back again.
The milkmaid found him at sunset
seated before the spring house door,
waiting patiently to be let in
