Why Tailor. Sit cro..I.oosd.

A tailor making dress coat sat
crosslegged on table, like Turk.
why do tailors always work in that
uncomfortable position?" asked a Wis
ltor.
"Women's tailors don't. Only mems
do" was the reply. "And for mems
tailors 1t Is the most comfortable and
the most convenient position possible.
You see. the sewing on mems clothes
Is very fine. The work must be held
up close to the eyes. Well, in this
position lean the work on my elevat-
% knees. and thus it is nearer my
eyes. while at the same time my back
Bmains straight. Analysed. the posi-
t}Qn Is q fine one. 1t keeps the back
Straight and the chest out, the knees
make table close up to the face, and
eye strain 10 avoided.
Tailors for women sit on chairs.
XpY one thing, the sewing on women's
clothes Is less fine than on mems. For
another. the woman's tailor has to get
up every few minutes to go to the
manikin, and all that rising, If he sat
crosslegged on the floor, would tire
him too much in the days run."-New

Vivisecting Thieves.

Breaking into houses where funerals
have just taken place and plundering
them is spoken Of by the Berliner
Tageblatt as trick Of the thieves of
that city. While this may be a new
form Of criminality in Berlin, says the
writer, it is really only an imitation Of
an incident described by Dion Cassius
as having taken place $500 years be-
fore Christ The historian says that
when the consort of the emperor was
laid away in the mausoleum at
Memphis a band of Greek marauders
entered the deserted palace of the
pharaoh and took all the precious
stones and metals and the women
slaves and reached the banks Of the
Red sea with their plumber. Only two
Of the band were captured. and they
were turned over by the ruler to the
wise men, by whom they were vivi-
sected in the interest of science. No
matter how much the robbers Of the
modern houses of mourning may be
despised, they need not fear that form
Of punishment.

No Suffering Too Great.

to the attendant physician, "but do
something to keep me alive for little
while for my babies sake. In few
years they will not need me so much"
Her one chance lay in very pain
full operation, but her heart was so
weak that the surgeon dared not adj
minister an anaesthetic. Very gently
he explained the situation-the opera
ton would make but years differ
ence at most; it seemed hardly worth
while to suffer so much for so brief a
respite; she would best go home and
wait. But the little woman shook her
head.
With mother love shining in her
eyes, she allowed herself to be strapped
upon the operating table and there
willingly underwent the torture Of the
knife that gave her a few months to
devote to her precious babies.-Deline-

The Savage Pike.

There are several instances on rec
ord of bathers being attacked by pike,
and an old writer, Crull, tells Of a
giant pike inside which was found the
body of an infant. Not long ago a
good sized retriever which was swim
ming in the Thames just above Chitty's
boathouse at Richmond was tackled
by q pike, which bit one of its hind
legs so badly as to sever an artery.
1t was another Thames pike which at

forced to admit, but its rapid growth
within the recent past gives one inspi-

be far more fruitful. However, no
less than four new buildings, namely,
in Lansing, Cadillac, Ishpeming and

Detroit, in the possession of her
magnificent new Young Mems Chris

The first great "side issue" of which
the Young Mems Christian associa-

physical development, or rather the

lines with tremendous strides.

lived till her death in 1744, waging an

thorized the organization of a state
university. But the school was not
opened to students for thirteen years
During the first twenty years of the
existence of the medical department
the student was required only to at
tend two courses of lectures, which
began in October and lasted through
April, and spend one year with a prac-

zen months in the class room.
In 1877 the advance of science had
made it possible to turn out physi-

of study was extended TO two years

procedure endured but three years. In

Engineer Raleigh says the 23rd
street bridge is not needed, and
that 1t cannot be built on the old
plans anyway as the foundation is
not good enough for concrete
bridge. When Lynn heard Raleigh
was talking against the 23rd
street bridge he hustled to the city
hall and protested to Commission

knocking this pet bridge Of his.
The commissioner wanted Raj
