Limitations Of Practice.

In an Iowa town an action for eject
ment was tried i''by the court without
a jury" the suit having been brought
by religious society to recover pos
session of cemetery. The defendant
a physician in active practice, had
bought the ground for the use of the
society, but when afterWard he sew
cred his connection with the organiza-
ton it was discovered that he had TAX
en- the title in his own name and evi-
IDENTIFY intended to hold on to it. After
duly weighing the evidence the court
ordered Judgment for the plaintiff,
stating briefly the reasons for the de-
cision, whereupon defendants. coun-
sci desired to be more fully enlight-
ened In the premises.
Certainly" said his honor. I'm adj
dition to what / have already said,
there are but two other reasons. One
is that the church seems to need a
cemetery, and the other is that the
doctor has failed to show that his prac-
tice is sufficiently large to necessitate
his maintaining his own burying

Bread That lntoxicates.

In far eastern Russia, in that region
which lies between the sea and the
river called Mssuri, the humidity of the
climate as well as of the soil is re-
markable. Vegetation is here distin-
guished for it's wondrous exuberance,
to such an extent that the soil never
dries up. The result is that the inhab-
itants in order to prevent putrefaction
of the roots SOW their corn upon a Sc
ries of layers of the SOIL Nevertheless
in certain districts the humidity is so
intenseSthat there grows upon the ears
Of corn a kind of fungous matter made
up Of micro fungi AS a result of this
sporadic eXcrescence the bread made
from the corn in question gives all the
results of an overdose of alcohol. In
very humid climates the phenomenon
is likewise known, though to nothing
like the extent of eastern Siberia,
where whole districts are affected by

the professor stopped him with a
peremptory command:

Then the student held up his left

Before the professor could speak
there came a perfect storm of Misses

the Kisses drowned what he said.

STARTLING CHARGES

In Divorce Case.


Kenosha, Wis.,, Dec. 7.--Claiming
that her husband twice conspired with
relatives to have her committed to
asylums for the insane in order that
he might free himself from her main
tenance, Mrs. Mamie Kisten has filed
suit for divorce against Charles Kis-

Kenosha Crib company and man

and her husband were married at
Marshfield in 1897.
Immediately after marriage, she al

cruelties, and when she threatened to
seek divorce in 1905, she asserts that
he conspircd with relatives and had
her committed to- an asylum. She
was released in short time and in
December, 1908, she was again COM

Ancient Chains.

Some authorities, says an English
writer, give the Britons credit for
originating the. cable chain because
julius Caesar is recorded as having
been unable to cut the cables of the
Gaul's vessels, as they were made OF
IRON. This may have been a chain in
the present acceptation of the term,
but it is doubtful, because the first pat
emit for chainmaking was obtained in
England in 1884 by a blacksmith
named Philip White. The patent was
for fourteen years, and in considera-
ton of it White had to pay f5 In law
full money yearly at the exchequer,
Westminster, att the Feast Of the
Blessed Virgin and Saint Michel the
Archangell by even and eual process.
His patent is described as follows:
"A way for the wearing of ships with
iron chaynes by finding out the true

Iyron b n that purpose and that he

The Best Way to Starve.

If one feels bound to undertake star
walton for a period, it is best, a trained
physician tells us, to make the process
not quite complete by eating little
at the usual intervals of fasting ahso-
lutely for a comparatively long time.
This makes freak treatment quite
harmless. Psychologists find that as
the body is starved fat and sugar dis
gans are drawn upon to support the
brain and heart, continuing until no
more material can be spared. Exhaus-
ton is then very near.

In spite of being far swifter than the
hound the gazelle falls a victim from

Shakespeare's Name.

1t has often been a puzzle to students
of Shakespeare why his name is spelled
in so many different ways. Shake
speare himself is said to have signed
his name on different occasions "Shak-
speare" and shakespeare and learned
disquisftions have been written to
prove which is the proper spelling.
None perhaps was more amusing than
the weather reason given in 1851 by
Albert Smith, who averred that he had
found it in the Harleian manuscript.
1t was as follows:
How dyd Shakespeare spell hys name?
Ye weatherre maybe We change, we save.
So write it as We please;

When wette he took hys Ees.

Father Officers sermon at Trinity Episcopal church last night was on Repentance, and in it he told his hearers of the great need for self-ex- animation and sorrow for sin. Con ventional religion Father Officer con demned as being one of the worst kind of religions that had to be dealt with. It was far more dangerous and more difficult to cope with than open sin, He thought there was too much conventional religion in New Haven and especially in Trinity church. They would come, he said, and fill the church to hear a special musical ser vice given py their fine choir. They came because 1t was conventional, and not because of their desire to worship the Lord
 He warned them against the great danger of such view of religion. II was a danger that had to be overcome and there was very great need of every man in the church realizing that 1t was his duty to face it and fight 1t with all the power within him.
