Odd Things In Animals.

Unlike most animals, horses have
no eyebrows and hares are minus eye
lids. Consequently the eyes of the
latter can not be shut and thin
membraneous substance covers them
when asleep. The eye of the owl is
also peculiar, seeing that it is i'm
movably fixed in its socket and can
not stir in any direction. To compen-
safe for this seeming disadvantage
it can turn it's head almost completely
around without moving it's body.
If you were to keep a frogs mouth
open many minutes it would soon die,
as, owing to it's peculiar construction,
it can breathe only with the mouth
closed. On the other hand, fishes are
compelled to keep opening and closing
their mouths in order to give their
respiration organs full play.
A curious fact about the eel is that
it has less life in it's head than in it's
tail, consequently, when killing an eel
the fisherman smashes It's tail; it also
has two hearts. Snakes usually have
their teeth in the head, but one varie-
ty in Africa, whose principal food is
eggs, is provided with substitute
for them in it's stomach.

FoRAKER-TAYLoR BILL
II Is Thought That Bonaparte's In
dorsement Will Prevent Veto.

Washington.-RepresentatiVe Tay
lor, r. Columbus, o.. saw Attorney
Gene Bonaparte and talked over the
Foraker-Taylor bill providing for an
additional district judge in the South
ern district of Ohio.
Mr.. Taylor set forth the needs for
another judge so eloquently that the
attorney general agreed with him that
the bill ought to be passed.
Mr.. Bonaparte said that the meas
ure had the approval of his Office.
This is a big thing, as it probably
insures the bill against the presidents
veto.
Mr.. Roosevelt has vetoed a number
of judgeship bills, but the fact that
the Ohio one is approved by the at
torney general will, it is believed. pre-
vent him from doing so in this case.
Mr.. Taylor concluded his report on
his bin and turned it over to Repre-
sentative Alexander, of New York, who
will present it to the house, after Rep
Tesentative Bannon has secured the
formal approval of the judiciary COM
mittee for the bill.

At Compiegne, one afternoon, when
the flower of the court was idling
round his vingt-et-un table, Mile de

consulted him from time to time as to

lie refused to believe 1t. Miner was
not 80 and the widow of Yerkes was

Mrs. Yerkes were man and wife. Be-

was said, though not known to be

tragical unhappiness of the Thaws,
the Coreys, and the Hartjes, and cer-
tainly no other cases have caused
greater distress to Cupid, the deity
of all true lovers. 1t would seem that
the CLEAN of suddenly acquired mil
lions, as seen through the smoky at
mosphere of Pittsburg, is sufficient to
blind the eyes Of love.
William E. Corey was ruined by Mr..
Carnegie, so Mr. Coreys uncle is re-
ported to have said This was be-
cause Mr.. Carnegie put Mr.. Corey in
the way of becoming rich. The head
of the great steel trust, looking for
pleasure and thrills in the byways
of life, found only unhappiness. AS
the familiar saying goes, "he couldn't
stand prosperity" Ali the world is
familiar with the story of Mr.. Corey's
spectacular rise in the world of fl
nance and of the alleged escapades
which caused his wife to leave him.
She obtained divorce last summer
after living in the state of Nevada
long enough to acquire citizenship
under the liberal laws of that state.
In her bill she charged her husband
with desertion, but it generally was
understood that the family happiness
was wrecked by Mr.. Corey's public at
tentions to Mabelle Gilman, an act
ress.
The Hartje case of Pittsburg made
the whole country gasp. 1t involved
grave charges against Mrs. Hartje
and her coachman and counter
charges on the part of the wife that
she was the victim of conspiracy
in which her husband-the man she
had loved and with whom she had
lived-sought to blast her reputation
by hired and perjured testimony. This
was one of the most notorious domes-
tic tragedies ever aired in any court
of any land 1t was worse even than
the Tagagrt case. Alone it was enough
to make the year memorable in the
matter of divorce.
In contrast with this the trouble of
Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes and Wilson
Miner were almost farcical. Mr..
Yerkes, the traction magnate, died
in New York in December last under
circumstances that called the atten-
tion of the whole world to his widow.
Although they had not been living to-
gether harmoniously during the later
years of his life, Mrs. Yerkes declared
that her husband had never ceased
to love her, and that she was devoted
to his memory.

Chicago.-Surely New Years day
must have been the saddest that Gu
pid ever has spent. When the little
god balances his books for 1906 he
will be compelled to sit down and
weep, for the list Of the matrimonial
wrecks of the year shows an awful
number of disasters. There have
been enough domestic jars to shake
the continent worse than the earth
\ quake shook San Francisco, if they all
had occurred at one instant. The
tears that have been shed would make
salty sea if they could bS collected
in the desert basin of Sahara.
Indeed, it has been bad year for
Cupid. Divorces have been more
numerous than in any other twelve
months since marriage became an in
stitution. Princes, dukes, counts,
statesmen, magnates, and millionaires,
butchers, doctors, grocers, lawyers,
and laborers have come to grief IN
their love affairs.
In the good old days people married
and lived happily ever after" Now
the problem of the novel begins in
stead of ending at the altar. People
get married and then get divorced.
Chicago still leads the world in di-
vorce population, and perhaps in the
facility with which divorce is grant
ed, due cause being shown. The hear
ing of testimony and the granting of
a decree in default cases in this city
takes only a few minutes, and the
average length of time consumed is
estimated at ten minutes by people
who study divorce methods. That
is why the local courts are known as
divorce mills" They work with the
speed of a steam buzz saw as they go
through the knots of matrimony. Your
lawyer files the papers, your case
is called, and burr-r-r-you are, di-
vorced.
1t is the women who keep the buzz
saw working in the divorce mills in
Chicago. Four out of five suits are
brought by the wives. The men are
meaner than the women, perhaps;
or else the husbands are more willing
to tough it out without appeals to the
court.
