Although men, as they run, are per-
haps muscularly stronger than women,
their inability to Withstand the ele-
ments and their reliance upon clothes
place them considerably below the so
called weaker sex in the matter of IN
clothed toughness. Women wear clothes
for ornament. Men use them as pro-
tective covering. A group Of men ma
rooned clotheless on an island in the
temperate zone might be expected to
die off in month from drafts and
colds and rheumatism. The health of
women similarly placed would suffer
little from the enforced exposure. The
fact appears to be, therefore, that in
everything but: muscle-in vitality, rug
gedness, character, disposition, brain
power, etc.-woman is the tougher, not
the weaker, sex.-Kansas City Journal.

An Angry Elephant.

A sentinel In the menagerie at Paris
has had a curious experience with one
of the largest elephants. The sentinel
was very conscientious and always re-
quested the spectators not to give the
animals anything to eat, which seemed
to displease the elephant in question to
such on extent that he several times
sprinkled the sentry's head with. water
from his trunk. One day .bystander
offered this particular elephant large
cake. The sentinel interfered, as
usual and the elephant promptly dis
charged in his face a violent stream of
water. A general laugh ensued, but
the sentinel, having calmly wiped his
face, stood on one side and continued
as watchful as before. Soon after
ward he found it necessary to repeat
his admonition, but no sooner was this
uttered than the elephant laid bold Of
his musket, twirled it round his trunk,
trod it under his feet and did not re-
store it until he had twisted it into
nearly the form of corkscrew. Then
he gave a snort at the discounted
sentinel, as If to say, "Now hope
you'll mind your own businessp'

The Python.

Contrary to general belief, the py-
thon or boa constructor rarely attacks
people and is looked upon very differ
emily by the people from the hama
dryad and cobra. The python will
take up his abode in neighborhood
and will not disturb anything except
the henroosts.~ These he disturbs very
much, as he has a great fondness
for chickens; also for a stray dog or
small goat. I know of one case, how
ever, In floating house where py-
thon attacked woman and, contrary
to the preconceived idea, did not crush
her in his folds, but attempted to
swallow her, commencing with one of
her feet. When she was rescued her
foot and ankle were badly lacerated
by the snakes teeth. The Chinese kill
the python to make medicine from the
liver. which has high repute among
them. They, also use the dried skin
for medicine. Any Chinese drug shop
in Siam will have number of python
skins for sale.-Medical Journal g.,

A Neiahina Cock.

Camden says the Thames was once
called the Cockney,s and therefore a
cockney means simply one who lives
on the banks of the Thames Wedg-
wood says a cockney4 or cockerney, is
one pampered by city indulgence in
contradistinction to rustics hardened
by outdoor work. There Is. however, a
legend, almost too good to be true
namely, that Londoner who had
never before slept out of sound of
Bow Bells had occasion to go into the
country and was detained all night.
He was much disturbed by the lowing
of the cattle. the granting of the pigs
and other sounds of country life, which
he could not understand, and in par
ticular he was frightened by the crow
Ing Of the cock. In the morning, in
response to the farmers inquiries, he
said the sound of the wild beasts had
kept him awake. Just at that mo-
ment the cock crowed again, and the
Londoner said: THAT'S the one! He's
been neighing like that for hours!'
Since then Londoners have been called
cockneighs or cockneys. ~ - .

 The case of Reuben Parker vs. Lydia Parker was taken and then postponed.
 On ground of habitual intemper- ance divorce was granted in the case of Caroline T. Collington vs. James H. Collington. Custody of the chil- dren was given to the plaintiff.
 An order to strike the case off the calendar was made in the action of Anna Nichols vs. William R. Nichols.

Wheeler in superior court has order ed continued until Tuesday morning, To-day's hearing related chiefly to the layout and structure of the road at the point where Miss Tucker was backed down five foot bank by the horse she was driving. Witnesses were almost entirely men who had hauled so many cord of wood or ton of brick for so many years over the road in question and seemed not to be very nimble minded, also the point of view was frequently obscured by a too great use of negatives.
