from Common Habit.


A medical authority has recently ut.
tered a warning against the habit OF
sitting with one knee crossed over the
other--a pose which Is nowadays al.
most as common among women as
among men. This apparently harm.
less habit, II seems, is likely to cause
sclatica lameness. chronic numbnes5.
ascending paralysis. cramps yaricose
veins, and other evils. The reason is
simple. The back of the knee. il is
explained, as well as the front OF the
elbow and wrist. the groin and the
armpt, contains nerves and blood.
vessels which are less adequately pro.
tected than in other parts of the body.
The space behind the knee contains
two large nerves, large artery, and
numerous veins and lymphatic glands.
II Is the pressure on these nerves and
vessels which is APT 10 give rise to

WIVES MUST BE BOUGHT.
Better Halves Only Secured by Pur.
chase In Parts Of Russia.

Wives are still obtained by pur-
chase In some parts of Russia. In tne
district of Kamyshin, on the yolga,
for example, this is practically the
only way in which marriages are
brought about. The price of a pretty
girl from a well-to-do family ranges
from ego to G4O, and in special cases
a much higher sum is obtained In
the villages the lowest price is about

TOOK THE JUDGE SERIOUSLY.
Incident Probably Cured Jurist Of the
Use Of Sarcasm

Lord Bowen, an English judge of
renown, was trying case of burglary
with Welsh jury. and It was argued
for the defense that the prisoner was
In the habit of walking on the house
tops at midnight and had merely
taken off his boots and dropped into
the house out of curiosity. In sum
ming up Bowen said to the Jury: IF
you believe that the prisoner consid-
ers the h 1usetops the proper place for
an evening STROLL. that the desire to
inspect the inside of the houses was
but natural and eXcusable curiosity,
YOU will acquit him and will approve
his conduct in showing so much con-
slderarion as to take of his boots for
fear Of disturbing the slHepers." The
irony was lost on the jury; they took
him seriously and acquitted the pris-
oner.

HOW ANTHRACITE WAS MADE.

The PocahontaS vein is thought to
correspond to the anthracite vein of

explanation of the difference Is that
the anthracite bed was subjected to
a more thorough cooking process under
pressure than the POcahoDtas portion
