STORY OF A PHYSICIAN.
Love Of Her Abundant
Hair.

Physicians hear strange things A
physician said the other day:
Mrs. Smith is dead If she had con-
sented to have her hair cut off she would
still be alive. Her heavy hair killed her.
when l told her that she must lose
her hair, she said she would rather die.
But her husband didn't want her to die,
and he made up his mind to cut off her
hair while she slept. One night he car
ried to bed with him big pair Of shears
with some difficulty he hid the shears
under his pillow. Then, in the middle
Of the night, he took them out cautious
ly, and he advanced them toward his
wifes long, thick braid. She lay on her
side with her back to him, but just as
he was about to snip off the braid close
to her head, she sighed uneasily, and she
turned over on her back, with the braid
safe under her.
''Ee swore below his breath, and wait
ed, shears in hand, for an hour. But she
naver stirred.
For three nights Smith took the
shears to bed with him, and each time
that he would go for his sleeping wifes
hair with them, she would move out of
the way. The thing seemed almost su-
pernatural. The woman, asleep, pro-
tected her hair from the shears quite as
we'll as she could have protected it if she
had been awake.
THE morning after the third night
Smith forgot about the shears when he
got up. He left them under his pillow
and went off to work Naturally, Mrs.
Smith found them
You took those shears to bed with
you to cut off my hair with she said to
him on his return. If you had done It,
I'd never have spoken to you again
Smith gave up after that, and his
poor wife kept her hair, but not her life"

Found in a Fish.

A singular instance of tenacity in the
digestion of fish is reported from Shelf
field, England. The fish, a ling four feet
long, had what appeared to be an abb
normally hard liver. But the cutting
up process revealed something far
stranger. The supposed hard liver
turned out to be piece Of stout netting
over two yards long and II inches wide,
which had been pressed into the form of
football. How this mass came to be
swallowed is mystery. It was sug-
gested that the fish, caught in the tolls
of isherman's net, had tried to escape
by aeyouring his prison walls.

Alligator Farms.

Several French dealers have recently
visited America to purchase stock for
an alligator farm which they propose
starting in the south of France. ALI
gator skin has become so highly priced
throughout France that the animal deal
ers believe it will pay we'll to raise the
alligators on this, the first farm of its
kind in the world. Not long ago Pres
ident Loubet received present of a
hunting suit of alligator skin. This is
said to be growing scarcer each year,
and there is always a great demand for
it for boots, shoes, handbags, writing
pads, portfolios and toilet articles.

Retaliation at a Dance.

She was young. 1t was her first sea-
son, and it pleased her to snub her cub
cousin most numerically whenever he
asked her for a dance.
No" she protested, one evening, you
can't see my programme-it's all full. :"
But there'll be extras. Can't | have
an extra?"
"Ye-es,' returned the young wom-
an, grudgingly, relinquishing her card,
.but don't take the first one, it's prom
ised."
Later in the evening, when she looked
to see which dance her cousin had ap-
propriated she found that she had food
for reflection. The young man had put
his name down for the four hundred
ainety-ninth extra.-Sunday
