Bishop Bloomfield was one of the
many witty Englishmen whose good
things have found their way into Il
volume of "reminiscences, LEAVES
From the Notebooks of Lady Dorothy
Nevill."
Bishop Bloomfield was led into con
troversy one time with a learned man
as to the mental superiority of the
east over the west, and his opponent
as parting shot said:
"Well, at any rate, you can't dispute
that the wise~men came from the
east"
"Surely that was the wisest thing

No medical man needs to be told that
even disease has its freaks and that re-
covery has occasionally been brought
about by means inexplcably trivial.
One of the most remarkable of these
unaccountable eccentricities of disease
took place at Halver. in Westphalia.
The case was that of a boy who. as the
result of very heavy fall backward
on his head while skating. had for Il
year and half been deaf and dumb.
One morning his brother went to
awake him and, finding him sleeping
heavily, tapped him lightly on the fore
head. To his amazement the deaf and
dumb boy awoke with n loud cry.
Both speech and hearing had been re-
stored.-Kansas City Journal.

SHE WAS CARELESS.
And So Careful Husband Decided
to :. .ach His Wife a Lesson.

to ZACH His Wife a Lesson.
'My wife has dlsagreeable habit of
leaving her pocketbook In exposed
Places said the man who was telling
the story, II had cautioned her more
than once that she would lose it if she
wasn't more careful.
Il came downtown with her the other
morning, and the first thing she did
after boarding the car was to deposit
her purse upon the car seat, while she
relieved herself of the terrible sus-
picion that her hat wasn't on straight.
A movement of her arms knocked the
purse on the floor where 1t remained
until picked it,up.
Il rescued that purse no less than
Il dozen times before we reached the
bargain counter that was the goal of
my wife's ambition.
Events around bargain counter
occur with Kaleidoscope swiftness, and
! soon found myself the sole guardian
of my wife's purse, which lay before
me on the counter where 1t had been
deserted by her in mad rush for the
other end of the counter.
''To teach her lesson / emptled the
contents of the purse in my pocket and
retreated to the edge of the crowd to
await developments.
ut wasn't long before my wife
crowded her way out, triumphantly
holding aloft twenty-five cent cream
jug that she had succeeded in buying
for 40 cents.
az didn't know that they charged
things here,' l began feebly.
"They don't she answered. Il have
money left for three Ice cream sodas
and strip of car tickets And she
exhibited the contents of her purse to
prove her assertion
81 nearly tainted when 1t dawned
upon me that | had taken the contents
from a purse belonging to some other
woman.

and If the woman who lost 70 cents,
postage stamp, three halrpins and a
recipe for making angel food will call
at my office she may have her prop
erty."-Detroit Free Press.

Mems Dress.

Men are dressed as they are chiefly
because fewer of them look ridiculous
so clothed than they would in any 9TH
er costume Modern dress Is merciful
to men. 1t gives no undue advantage
to the well built and handsome. In
deed, it detracts from their appearance
and modifies the figures of those not
blessed with a fine physique.-Court
