BOY WINS NOVEL sUIT.
Members Of Court Maybe Harkeu Back

According to a recent deeisrn In
the Mississippi courts, electric light
companies must insulate trees as we'll
as poles, particularly those trees
which invite the small boy climber.
In Mississippi town recently small
boy climbed tree and coming in con-
tact with the uninsulated wires of q
lighting company, which passed
through the branches, received a
shock which caused him to fall. AS
a result the young climber was badly
injured and his father brought suit
against the lighting company The
tree in question was a small oak, hav-
ing numerous branches which came
close to the ground. The court hand
ed down the novel decision that as the
lighting company had knowledge OF
the tree and what kind of tree 1t was,
1t also ought to have seen that it was
Just the kind of tree into which chill
dren were likely to climb. Therefore,
said the court, the immemorial habit
of small boys to climb trees filled
with abundant branches is one of
which corporations stretching wires
through such trees must take notice.
1t was held that small boys had right
to climb such trees and verdict was
given in favor of the father

THE LENGTH OF ETERNITY.
This Man Had His Own and Peculiar
Ideas on the Subject.

Mrs C. W. McCulloch. Of Chicago.
on taking up her new Office Of justice
OF the peace, told Chicago reporter
that in the performance of marriage
ceremonies she proposed to omit the
word obey" I'm these enlightened
days" said Mrs. McCulloch, "the word
obey has lost it's meaning in the mar
riage contract. The best wife does
not propose to obey her husband,
any more than the best husband pro-
poses to obey his wife. Obedience is
for dogs, horses-creatures without
reason. So l think that we should
drop this meaningless word. For 1t Is
meaningless. AS meaningless as a
certain other word was to a certain
boorish husband. The husband had
been particularly nasty one rainy Sun
day at home, and his wife finally be-
gan to cry. Eight years ago. she
sobbed, you swore eternal love, and
now Oh growled the man, how
long do you expect eternal love to last,
any way?"

WHEN TO WIND A WATCH.
The Morning, Not the Evening, the
Best Time, the Matchmaker Says.

Most people," said the watchmak-
er, wind their watches at night; but
1t would be better to wind them in the
morning. You see, we are liable to
go to bed at different hours, and so
wind our watch at irregular inter-
walls; and it is better to wind it regu-
larly. Then we are more liable to
forget to wind our watch at night
than in the morning and so may let it
run down. But we are pretty sure to
get up in the morning at our regular
hour, whatever the hour at which we
went to bed, and so by winding it then
we may insure regularity of wind
Ing; and the watch is brought to mind
then, when we put it on for use, and
we are less likely to forget to wind it.
So morning is the best time to wind
a watch. If you can get yourself into
the habit of winding it then"

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Half teaspoonful Of table salt dis.
solved in a half glassful of cold wa
ter will give instant relief In case
of heartburn.
People with poor digestion should
drink no water with meals. but take
glassful half an hour before and
drink plentifully an hour or SO after
each meal.
To inhale steam from q bowl of
boiling water is very good for a sore
throat. The sufferer should lean over
the steam, drawing 1t in both throat
and nostrils.
Many cases of indigestion, head
ache, neuralgia, cold hands and feet
can be quickly cured by drinking
slowly one or two pints of water SO
hot that 1t almost burns the throat.
Warts may be entirely removed by
washing the hands two or three times
day with the water in which pota-
toes have been boiled or by bathing
the wart several times with potato
water.
II you are in need OF 1t, try fresh
cucumber as a complexion bleach.
Get little fruit press. the ordinary

the slices. Don't pare the cucumber
before slicing 1t, but wash 1t thor
pughly. No other preparation is neces-
sary before slicing it.
