Pain Amuses Him.
rom the Denver Times,

From the Denver Times.
 Perhaps the only person in the country who laughs when he is in great pain is George Cook. a cook employed at the Saratoga restaurant on lower Seventeenth street, and who was brought to the police station this morning suffering from a broken arm He says that when the pain grows so intense as to make the average man cry out he laughs. not because he thinks 1t is funny, but because, by some reculiar freak of nature he is compelled to smile when in sorrow or pain, and he cannot restrain the tears whenever he is amused Police Surgeon Davis, who treated him for the broken arm, regards the case as one of the most remarkable that ever came under his observation.
 Cook fell down a flight of stairs this morning and broke both bones of the left arms just below the elbow. He was taken to the police surgeons quarters and when the surgeons work began every one pres ent was surprised to hear Cook laugh outright. Thinking the arm was not broken and that Cook was merely pre- tending a joke. Dr. Davis squeezed the arm slightly The patient writhed. but 10 look at his face and hear his loud guffaw ons would have imagined him to be very much amused. When the broken bones had been set and the pain had left he explained to the surgeons that he had laughed because he was suffering. So far as known this is the first case of its kind on record.

Eddington, Me. Cor. Brooklyn Times.
 For more than two weeks a carnival of crime has prevailed among the wild things which come about the farm houses in Paduck. a small collection of houses on the banks of the river four miles north of Bangor. It broke out among the red squirrels. which were busy carrying corn from the granaries to the woods. Every time a squirrel emerged from a corn house with its mouth full of grain, it would stagger jigs as if 1t were afflicted with some strange disease which affected it's muscles in such manner that 1t could travel in any way except the one it wished to go. The cats soon found out the helpless condition of the squirrels, and for week the death rate among the frisky rodents was fearful Then the cats were taken i'll from eating the squirrels until they ceased to squall nights and were contented to lie by the fire and be fed on catnip and other arti- cles such as are used for solacing infirm cats. After this the blue jays, which came to eat the grain which the squirrels were carrying away, and which the cats

GREAT JAG IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM

this time nearly al the squirrels In that end of the town were passing from spasm to spasm of delirium tremens. There were rats and mice roaming through the homes by daylight and no cat had en- ergy enough to get up and slay them. The residents were beginning to enter tain suspicious that they were all doomed to an early death from poison distributed by an unknown field when the river froze over hard enough to permit men to cross the Ice. and then the twelve days mystery was solved.
 In a hollow back of the highway be- tween Bangor and Old Town, was dis colored spot where the sheriffs had emptied the beer and ale they had seized from Bangor saloons, the Maine law com polling the officers to spill all malt liquors captured during their raids, and to do 1t in -the-way places where no habitual drunkards would be likely to go. The squirrels, being very light had crossed on the thin Ice and Tapped up the frozen beer. and returning home half intoxicated had stopped at the corn houses and failed to get any further. It iS probable that the jays were made drunk from the same cause. As for the cats, their intoxicated condition was de- rived from eating the flesh of the drunk en jays and squirrels.

MIkado's Living Expenses.
Hosmer Whitfield in the January Sue cess Magazine"

Hosmer Whitfield in the January "Suc-
 cess Magazine
 The Emperor's yearly expense of living is limited. For this purpose he draws $3,0O0000 from the national treasury. His personal wealth is not to be spent on his own living, so that $3,0O0000 is really his yearly salary as manager of the country. He has got to pay out of 1t some one thousand employees. The lady waiting is said to be paid $15O month ly. I have no doubt that even a washing girl Is paid about s70. Japan is a country where a laboring mans wages are not more than 50 cents daily. The chief cook of the imperial palice is paid $200 a month.
 The Emperor's daily fare is Japanese. He Is perfectly satisfied, for breakfast, as a common Japanese Is, with bowl of bean soup and few. similar dishes. But his dinner usually appears in splen- did style, in some twenty courses, all though he always denounces it as a use- less extravaganza. When any official feast is held-the cherry blossom viewing party at the Kioshikawa botanical gar den, or the chrysanthemum party at the Akasaka palace for instance-he will not spare any expense in preparing an elegant European banquet. The Empress is the manager on such an occasion. She Is A noted economist She always gives a hint to her court ladies and the wives of the ministers how to arrange their dresses and how to save expense. She Is regarded as an exemplar of loveliness and womanly sweetness. There never was a woman truer to the old teachings in respect to womanly disposition and de- meanor.

KING A SPORTSMAN.
Edward VII Has Shot Nearly Every
 Variety of Game.

From the New York Herald.
 The King of England has always been a devotee of shooting. and great care is pheasant shooting shall be satisfactory. Under the care of the head keeper on this estate 10000 pheasants are bred ev- cry year. The eggs are kept in incubators till nearly matched, when the process is finished by the barndoor fowls. These chicks are carried to the various farms on the estate, each farm being required to keep, rear and feed Q certain number of these birds each year. As result. when the shooting season begins there are no finer pheasants to be found in the kingdom than those which are to be found on the Kings preserves.
 On the occasion of a really big shoot at Sandringham 1t often happens that no less than 2000 to 5000 head of game have been brought down. These are spread out on the lawn for his majesty's inspection and are then sent to various charitable in- stitutions, hospitals and the tenantry, be- sides his majesty's friends.
 There Is scarcely any form of game big or little, which the king has not shot. lie shot elephants when he was in Ceylon and as is the custom, cut off the tail of the first one he shot. When he was in India he hunted leopards, cheetahs and tigers, and showed great spirit and daring In the sport. On one occasion he killed six tigers in a morning, two of them being killed outright with a single shot from his gun. When he was in Egypt he had a great desire to shoot a crocodile and frequently left his bed at four in the morning and lay In sand holes by the hour to accomplish his purpose. At last he shot beauty and was rewarded for the time spent in watching by the Nile.
 of the finest in the country. It is lined with glass cases and contains a variety of fine weapons for every conceivable pur- pose. Yet there Is hardly a year which passes that the king does not add a new gun the special points of which have caught his fancy

IMPORTANT PART
Played By Dog In Scientific Literature
 of Day.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
 ''The dog is playing an important part fin the scientific literature of the day and not even Hans the remarkable Flu ropean horse, who is said to be able to do marvellous mathematical stunts, has proved of more interets to speculative psychologists" said a man who takes an interest in tse lower orders of life. But some racner astounding things have been said about the workings of the dog 8 mental mechanism. For instance John Burroughs Is credited with making this statement In a recent interview: Now, as to dogs. dog has no psychic life. He has no intellect. He has only what the psychologists term sense-memory- that Is, memory by association. The dog has become half human from ages of as- sociation with man, so you can affirm al- most anything of him, except the faculty ot thought and of abstract memory. My neighbor up in the country had a dog that was always "scrapping' with my dog. One day my dog died. After that. whenever I walked abroad and met my neighbours dog he never failed to look al, around me for his late enemy, as much as to say: T don't see your dog ? Where Is your dog? What has become of your dog?" That was memory by asso- ciation.'
 This estimate of the dogs mentality is not quite just to our humble friend. How shall we explain the dogs dream Dogs dream just as human beings dream. Association of idea unquestionably &C., counts for the fact that a dog will miss another dog he fs in the habit of seeing with some particular person. But the dream is n trif1e more complex. It is es- sentially of the brain because the eyes are closed to all external existence. The dog sees nothing, visualizes nothing The picture of things are nevertheless defn- ite enough In the dogs mind. or brain, If you please. for often he will bark In a suppressed kind of way. and his feet and limbs will jerk, and in fact he will show all the evidences of thinking he Is i1 pursuit of something, probably hot in the chase. Is this not an evidence of memory-not mere sense-memory, but memory. as we know 1t. of the intellect think so, though I am not reasoning. mind you, that dogs have intellect in the sense that human beings have it."

Bedmaklng As an Occupation.

From the New York Sun.
 The women who take care of the police
 mems beds in every police station are
 called bedwomen. Most of them make a
 very good living. They only make the
 beds. It is obligatory on the policemen
 to supply clean bed linen once week.
 If a policeman does not keep his bed
 linen clean he Is liable to a complaint,
 and this offense calls forth a heavy fine. In a large precinct like the Tenderoin
 there are two bedwomen. Each police
 man pays 75 cents a month bed money The money is not deducted from his pay
 but the clerical man of the police sta-
 ton always makes sure that he pays 1t. When the money is all collected 1t is
 turned over to the bedwomen. In the Tenderloin station 1t amounts to si10 a month. The force of men there is larger than in any other police station. and consequently the bed fund amounts to more. Mrs. Enright. the widow of a policeman who was killed some months
 ago by burglar is one of the bedwomen she gets about $40 a month. The other 1:
 also the widow of policeman. She make; S7O a month The last woman had the jot first and needs 1t more than Mrs. En- right.
 Soon after Policeman Enright was kill ed several benefits for his widow were given in city theatres. Nearly s1s.0O0 was
 realized for her. The policeman's widow with whom she shares the Tenderloir
 station pay has five children ard no oth- CT means of support except from thi' source.
 l Tn all stations the bedwomen are either l the widows of policemen or the mothers 1 of men who died while on the force Tn | every police station but the Tenderloir one woman does the work. It only takel ] a couple of hours each morning.

The Tramp in Germany.

From the European Letter in Country
 Gentleman.
 Germany shows us a good example in its treatment of the unemployed, whether they are honest workers temporarily in misfortune, or belong to the class of ''tramps" properly so-called. All we of fer is the cold hospitality of the casual ward, with the meagerest of food, and the maximum of stone breaking allow ance, before they get out in the morning. Could anything be more dispriting to an average workman? Now there is in Ger many a lodging house association, hay ing ramifcations throughout the empire. The working is as follows: It is princi- pie of the association to regard as with out means and therefore proper subjects for help, any workman who has no more than 75 cents in his pocket, and Is unable to find employment in the place where he happens to to be located. Such a man is received to the full benefits of the asso- citation without formality or fee, though if by reason of age, sickness or physical infirmity of any kind he should be unfit for the road, or for work, the services of the poor law authorities are enlisted in his behalf. A workless artisan or lab
  ploynent, can at once obtain a passport on proof given of his bona -fides and, so equipped he is able to walk any neces- sary distance without cost to himself. An official of the local Herberge-and every town of importance possesses one at least helps him to draw up his plan of route, which is so arranged that after five or six hours of moderate walking each day. he may land at the door of a hcspitable shelter, where food, lodging and due care for his spiritual welfare await him. The rule followed is: Work in the fore noon, walk in the afternoons" for though the entertainment offered Is with ont money. it is not without price. the price being several hours of light em- ployment suited to the mans character and capacity, before the days march be- gins; nevertheless the task is omitted where circumstances justify 1t. The wanderer may present him el. at the shelter as soon in the afternoon as he likes. but he must not turn up later than ' o'clock. On Sunday no work is required but a religious service takes it's place, though in the afternoon the men are sent on their way as on any other day.

DOOM OF BULL FIGHTS.
Forbidden on Sunday, Their One Big
 Day.

From the London Mail.
 The burning question of the day in Srain is the threatened extinction of bull fighting, the famous sport which the Srsniards call their national pastime.
 It is true that the prohibition of the cruel game by the Maura government only applies to Sundays the object be- ing to enforce the recently passed Sab bath rest law but, as the enormous ex- penses entailed by these spectacles can only be met by a large concourse of spec tetors, who cannot witness bull fights or working days. the measure decided by the government and vigorously en- forced by the principal authorities Is equivalent to the total suppression or the favorite popular amusement.
 Senor Mauras bold decision has caused more excitement and discontent than any other of the pressing questions before the country.
 Not long ago the illustrious Spaniard' Jovelanos, said with a touch of irony, 'To govern Spain one only needs two thir gs-bread and bulls. " (''pan toros ) But under the new dispensation there will be neither bread nor bulls on Sum day, for neither the ''toreros' nor the journeymen bakers must work on that day.
 Madrid, Valencia and quite dozen other cities where the rights of the arenas are farmed out to spectators, will lose large sums by the new law. In the capi- tol a revenue of $50,000 year was re ceived from this source. which went to support a hospital and other works of mercy In several towns the hospitals, asylums and refugees were maintained CT tircly by these payments.
 fpa t1lra Is the throwing out of work of at least 100000 people ir Spain. who 1epend' on bull fighting for their livelihood. The new law also means ruin to the farms where fighting bulls are trained. such as the famous es- tablishment of the Duke of Veragua.
 The only hope is that the premium will yield to the numerous and Influential appeals for the revocation of the law which are pouring in upon him from all parts of the country.
 It is chiefly the fau | of the 'primeros espadas," or leading bull fighters, that the national sport on.y pays when Sun oay exhibitions are given. The times are lont past when the best swordsmen re- ceive 95 per performance. The price has steadily risen and is now fairly firm at G4e0. It was only natural that after a few years the famous "terero" Guerita was able to anfass an ample fortune, which he Is now peaceably enjoying
 The noted swordsmen of the day. like Fuentes and Bombita-Chico, earn the sal aries of first-rank tenors.
 Under the editorship of Ex-Minister Canalejas. the Heraldo of Madrid, leads the campaign for the repeal of the Sun day rest law and there is little doubt that if a general election were to take place now the pro-bull party would sweep the country.

How Markham Suppressed Book.

rroIH DuCceSs MdBd1iIio.
 Recently a man called at the StateI. Island home of Edwin Markham, author of "The Man with the Hoe," and intro duced himself as the writer of book on which, he said, he had spent twenty-five years of study and research. MT. Mark ham, who Is unusually kind in listening to and counseling amateur authors, i'm mediately felt that one who has spent a quarter of a century on his product is rare, and he invited him to his study without delay
 What is the nature of your work?'' asked MT Markham.
 "I have written the greatest book of the ages" began the new author: "I have solved the mystery of the world. I know all about 1t. I am prepared to prove my statements. I know just why the world was made, who really made it, and I have laid bare the mysteries of creation. I-"
 My good man." said MT Markham, interruptng him, If you have come to me for advice. let me tell you to take your manuscript at once and burn 1t. If you have solved the mystery of this world you are its greatest enemy. Why" continued the poet, If you have solved the mystery of the world you have robbed men of their greatest joy. You have left us nothing to work for, you have destroyed our ambition, you have reduced us to mere animals. It Is the mysteries of the world that have made 1t great, and I. for one, don't want to have them solved"
 MT. Markham's visitor sat dumbfound- ed for a moment. The vision of his twenty-five years of labor fitted before him as he said

The Girl That Laughs.
the Kansas City World.

From the Kansas City World.
 Girls spend considerable time trying to find out how to be popular. It is nat ural that girl should seek approval and admiration. Her popularity means a good time, boxes of candy, theaters dances, fowers-everything that the hearts of the young delight in.
 The girl that is popular is the girl who laughs Not the girl that shippers and puckers or giggles, but the girl that laughs and means it. The girl that laughs can have candy and flowers and theaters every day in the week.
 Men flock about her. They adore her. She laughs herself straight into the hearts of beaux and admirers and straight into all the good times that girl can dream of.
 She laughs, but she is careful when she laughs. She laughs with her beaux, but never at them. She laughs at what they say when they say it, but never after- ward. She laughs at their jokes, but never about them. She never laughs at any ones blunders or misfortunes.
 Women forget to worry when they near the cheerful girls laugh. Old men are warmed at the sound of 1t. Young men listen and follow it. pay court to 1t, mar " it. For 1t is the laugh that keeps tne heart young, the laugh that Keeps the face bright.
