Why q Swelling Fellows a Blow.

The swelling which follows from a
blow is natures effo:t to protect the
part from further injury and to keep 1t
at rest while repair is going on. What
actually takes place Mt the seat of in
jury is not eve nov quite understood.
The injury to the smaller blood vessels
interferes with the flow Of blood
through them. and the white corpus
cles. with part Of the serum, the wa
tering part of the blood, escape into
the surrounding tissues. At the same
time the blood vessels in the neighbor-
hood dilate. and the increased flow of
blood with the thoroughfare INSTRUCTED
increases the swelling. 1t is probable
that the white corpuscles Of the blood
pass into the tissues to assist In the re-
pair. as bees Or ants assemble at an in
jury to their storehouse, but with this
difference-that the substance Of the
corpusr,es is probably converted into
the tissue of repair. From one point of
view the human body is only one gi-
gantic colony Of individuals and the
swelling that follows injury but the
rush OF these to repair the breach.

A Literary Curiosity.

Some. years ago Il Paris newspaper
ordered a story OF adventure from a
we'll known novelist. The price agreed
upon was ! franc Il line. The novelist
straightway hunted up an old man Of
letterS-the unknown collaboration Of
many more famous authors = who
agreed to write the story for % CEN
times Il line. When the work had
reached its second part in the course
of publication the novelist learned that
his old client was seriously i'll. Hasten
ing to his bedside, he found him dying.
In agony for the fate of his story, the
novelist rushed to the office of the
newspaper. got hold of some back
numbers in order to pick up the
threads of the romance and brought
it to Il speedy end in a few brief
chapters. Then he went to the Office
with the manuscript.
whats that:' asked the editor.
"Why. the continuation and end Of
my story"
"Oh, then. you want to change it, I
suppose, because, YOU know. you sent
in the last chapters three days ago"
Admirable self possession on the
part of the novelist prevented disaster,
and he finally found this explanation:
The old man, whose price was % cen
times a line. had himself sublet his
task to a third writer at 10 centimes,
and thus the work had been finished
in safety.

A Quaint Scotch Wedding Custom,

A quaint wedding custom still pre-
walls in many of the little country
towns and mining villages in Scotland.
When a wedding is held the contract
ing parties make their guests pay in
full for the eating. drinking and dane
ing facilities which are usually pro-
vlded on such occasions. The practice
still seems to survive even in Glasgow.
\ correspondent observed a notice
posted up in the Cowcaddens, n low
class Glasgow thoroughfare, informing
tlr public that a soldier would shortly
enter into the bonds OF wedlock and
that twopence would he charged for
admission to the ceremony and an adj
ditional sixpence imposed for attend
ance at the wedding feast. The prac-
tice seems to he peculiarly Scotch. but
sixlence certainly seems moderate
enough for Il marriage supper.-WeSt-

Judge Beatty merely intended TO de-

District Attorney Rasch argued that
the fine was a criminal punishment,

GRANGE FOR GOOD ROADS.
A Purely Grange Road Bill Now Before
the New York State Legislature.

the New YORK state Legislature
The New York state grange legisla-
tive committee has had new bill pre-
pared amending the FullerPlank law,
so that poorer towns viii receive lar
ger share of state aid and grading the
towns according to the average as
seSSed valuation per mile of road ratll-
er than the valuation per town. In It's
grading of towns for state aid under
the money system the grange bill uses
the assessed valuation as equalized by
both the board of supervisors and the
board Of equalization.
There We're numerous good road
bills before the Legislature, but none
of them took account of the inequali-
ties that appeared in the working of
the old law. The grange bill proposes
TO give towns with valuation of less
than 5000 per mile q 100 per cent adj
dltion 10 that which they raise them
selves; those between $1,000 and $1,000
valuation, 80 per cent; between $1,000
and $4,000, so per cent; between $4,000
and $1,000, 20 per cent and between
$1,000 and $4,000, 80 per cent. A
limitation is fixed for towns with
$4,000 per mile valuation not to ex-
ceed $50 per mile annually. and towns
with mileage valuation exceeding
$25,0 600 Will not be permitted TO draw
more than one-tenth of / per cent of
their total valuation. This is purely
a grange good roads bill.
