sieur,'' or "He was riding on donkey,
my lord" This construction Of the
sentence is every rude" for it implies
an intimate relation between the calf's
head or the donkey and the parsonage
who is addressed. To avoid this one
should say, "I have been eating cheese,
monsieur, and calf's head" or MY

useful but ridiculous beast must be

Fish Life.

The limits of fish life are not known,
but it seems certain that, as the salm-
on shows astonishing variations and
possibilities Of growth, so other fish
may live to considerable ages, even IN
captivity. Cases Of carp which lived
to be a century old are repeatedly quot
ed, and he would be a bold person who
would deny to whale the possibility
Of living to be a couple Of centuries
old. Whales are sea mammals and not
fish, but their life is very much the
same in it's general conditions. It is
said, on the other hand, that fish which
have cold blood live with much small
er expenditure Of vital force than
whales and cetaceans, which have
warm blood.

wakwak Were Birds of Paradise.
Readers of 1.-The Thousand and One
Nights" will remember the islands Of
Wakwak and the marvellous adyen-
lures Of Hassan of Balsora and the
princess with the dress Of feathers.
DR.. Alfred Russell Wallace suggests
that the islands were real and that
they can be identified with the Aru is
lands, the home Of the great bird Of
paradise.
The name 'sWakwak," he thinks,
may be an imitation Of the call Of the
birds, and the story Of Hassan's visit
to the islands Of Wakwak may be
based on the actual adventures Of
some traveller who discovered the
haunts Of the birds Of paradise

A Lot of Trouble From Too Much
Starchy Food.
A little boy of eight years whose
parents did not feed him on the right
kind of food. was always and
suffered from a weak condition Of the
stomach and bowls. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and
after the operation the doctor, know.
ing that his intestinal digestion was
very weak, put him on Grape-Nuts
twice a day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter his father states,
Gle has grown to be strong, muscu.
lar, and sleeps %soundly, weighs 60
pounds, and his whole system is in a
fine condition of health" Name given
by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.
It is plain that if he had been put
on Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in
his life, and kept from the use of
foods that he could not digest, he nev.
er would have had appendicitis. That
disease is caused by undigested food
decaying in the sto lch and bowels.
causing irritation and making for the
growth of all kinds Of microbes, set
ting up a diseased condition which is
the active cause of appendicitis, and
this is more marked y tn people who
do not properly digest white bread.
Trape-Nuts is made Of the selected
parts of wheat and bcr.ey and by the
peculiar processes of the cooking at
the factory all Of the starch is turned
into sugar ready for immediate diges-
ton and the more perfect nourish-
ment of all parts of the body, particu.

A claim for damages OF an unusual
character has been filed with the coun-
ty commissioners Of Hamlin county
by Robert l.. Walls. who, in the event
that the claim is not allowed, init
mates that an appeal will be taken to

Walls was confined in the Hamlin

and he thinks that because of this the
county owes him the sum of 81 900.
He alleges that the Jail was. unsafe,
unsuitable, ~unwholesome, unventilated
and unhealthy"
AS a further ground for damages he
alleges that he was confined with in
sane and intoxicated persons, thereby
causing him great fear and mental an
guish. which resulted in permanent
and serious injury to his health
Walls was arrested in June of last
year on the charge Of larceny. AS he

HELPS POLICE; is HURT.
Volunteer Police Officer Threatens to
BRING Damage Suit.

The question of whether a town is
liable for injuries sustained by a citi-
zen while aiding a peace officer to
make an arrest, at the request of the
officer, will doubtless be determined
as the result of the filing of a bill
against the city of Woonsocket by An
drew Straegle, a resident Of that place.
He asserts hat during a shooting af-
fair in Woonsocket last year he was
called Upon by the city marshal to
aid the officer in arresting the person
responsible for the trouble. During
the ARRAY Streaele was seriously in
jured.
He claims damages in the sum Of
s. $500 for loss of time, doctors bills
and other expenses necessitated by
his injuries. If the city council re-
fuses to allow the bill he intimates
that he will institute an action against
the city in the courts.

HOLDUPS STILL BATTLE POLICE.
No Clue Found to the identity Of South
Dakota Bandits.


No clue has yet been found to the
identity of two strangers who held up
and robbed N. l.. Helm, agent OF the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail-
way company at Baltic, a little town
twelve miles north Of Sioux Falls.
The robbers secured about 5000 IN
cash which belonged to the railroad
company. The robbery was commit
ted on the depot platform soon after
the last freight for the night had pass
ed through Baltic. The agent was at
| the depot alone, and shortly after the
departure of the freight train he count
| ed his cash and found he had over
5000.
Placing the money in his pocket, he
| stepped out on the depot platform,
when two men suddenly appeared be-
fore him. One of them thrust a huge
! revolver into his face with the com
mand:
Throw up your hands and be quick
about it,"
The agent could not do otherwise
than promptly comply, and while the
man with the gun kept him covered the
| other man went through his pockets
and secured the money, in addition
| taking a valuable gold watch.
After satisfying themselves that he
had no other valuables on his person,
the two men disappeared in the dark
ness. The agent speedily gave the
alarm, and within half an hour a posse
| of citizens was securing the town and
the surrounding country, but not the
| slightest trace of the two men could
be found.
1t all happened so quickly that Agent
Helm is unable to give a good descrip-
ton Of the two. men, and this has han
| ~dicapped the authorities in apprehend-
ing them.
