Converted by Medicine.

A woman missionary, who was also
a doctor, had curious experience tn
Burmah, where, upon her arrival, she
found a village community dying of
like flies with cholera.
She made a house-to-house inspec-
ton, administered a specific, and, hay
ing broken the back Of the malady,
left behind her several bottles Of the
medicine to be used during her abb
sence. Upon her return the head man
cheered her heart by the greeting:
Teacher, we have come over to
your side; the medicine did us so much
good that we have accepted your God"
He led her to his house and into the
apartment sacred to his worship.
There, arrayed upon the shelf, were
the medicine bottles, and he, with all
his household, instantly bowed down
and prayed to them with thankful and
contrite hearts.

looked very philosophically at his
mother one day and remarked: isn't
1t wonderful how ones skin is put on?
Is 1t sewed together or pasted with

Realizing the folly of any physio-
logical explanations she replied: NO.

Still a quizzical expression Ger
spread his face. Peering at his moth
er's forehead, he raised his finger and
exclaimed: "Well, mother, really
think you have a seam across there"
After the humor Of the remark had
passed it awakened q note Of pathos,
for that mother, with the aid Of the
mirror, discovered that the hitherto
unobserved seam was there, her frst

pensation for the loss OF a prospective
husband, and unless the piainun mas

law courts, says TitBits.
In France breach OF promise cases

Now this 10 mot an easy thing TO 40
on the part OF the lady, especially In a
country where q girl without a dot

chance Of finding husband. Holland
and Austria have adopted the Frencn
system, and the result has been about
the same. Breach actions are rare
the Injured damsels or their rel1tives
usually taking the law into their own
hands.
Practical Germany, as might be ex-
pected. has perhaps the best method
for solving this problem. When a
young couple become engaged they
have to 20 through q public betrothal
ceremony that ought to knock all the
shyness out'of them. In the local town
hall the pair declare their affection
willingness to marry, etc., ending by
signing a collection OF documents that
apparently leave no loophole for es-
cape.
But II either party to the contract
wishes to withdraw another journey Is
undertaken to the town hall and an
other collection Of documents signed,
witnessed and sealed. Then the au-
thoI1ties determine the question OF
compensation-should 1t be claimed.
In this connection 1t may be said that
the man can, and often does, claim a
solatium for his wounded feelings. the
usual award 10 one-hfth OF the mar
riage dowry. It is easy to understand
when all this Is remembered, now
loath the young people Of Germany
are to break their betrothal oaths.
As the law Of Italy offers little or
no protection whatever to Tilted dam
sells and swains 1t 10 not surprising
that the Stiletto should be the favorite
