A Scholarly Child.

Boston has for long enjoyed the reputation of having exceedingly learned children who are able, so it is said, to dispute on subjects far above the heads of their elders of other re gions. But Boston is not unique. In . book entitled ''The Scot of the Eight eenth Century" Ian Maclaren describes a similar characteristic of the Gale donian-
 It Is the inevitable tendency of the Scots mind to follow out every line to its terminus. even if it be over a preci- pice, and to divide every hair till in dnity is touched.
 It is not only in church courts, but .n market places and in railway sta dons in humble cottages as well as in university societies, that the Scot is disputing, in every spare moment of his time, from morning till night.
 The story goes that minister over heard a mother questioning her child as it supped its porridge, after the days wozk was done.
 What" said this austere mother, 'tis the true relation between kirk and state. according to the principles of the Free church?"
 And the favored child promptly re- piled, Coordinate jurisdiction with mutual subordination." Com pauion.

FIST FIGHT IN

Byrd of Mississippi Resents Remark by
 fOrdney of Michigan.
Pushes for His Opponent but is Restrain.
 ed by Members of the HOuse-Exci..
 ing Incident During the Tariff Debate
Special from United PressA

Special from United Press)
 Washington, March 26.-A rough and
 tumble fight was narrowly averted on
 the floor of the House this afternoon.
 Representative Fordney, Republican
 Mfch.), who was speaking on the tariff,
 for more than half an hour, had been
 assailed from all sides with questions
 about the lumber trust. He announced
 that there wasn't any trust and final
 ly becoming irritated and impatient he
 declared he would answer no quest ons along that line. He did yield however, to Representative Byrd, Democrat,
 MississippiO Bryd is an Indian, tall and swarthy. He began ask ng Ford hey questions as to lumber combina- ton or understanding in Mississippi
 and intimated that a mill owned by F'erdney was part of it. Fordney's S face flushed with anger and he spout ed: That's all buncomb. You don't
 know a damned thing about it.'' Byrd'S eye Shone with anger and he started on run toward Fordney. He
 dashed down the atSleS and when he reached the open space in front of the Speakers stand he began pulling off his coat. He was then within a few feet of Fordney who was standing n the main aisle. Byrd's pause to get into fighting trim. however, gave half i a dozen members time to surround him and persuade him to compose himself. When his way toward Fordney was blocked, Byrd walked back and forth
 in the open space with clenched fists and shaking his head. determined to have it out with the Michigan member.
 In a few minutes Byrd became more
 composed and returned to his seat. Then there followed a period of ex- plantations.
 Fordney said that if he had been dis l courteous he wished to withdraw his | remarks. He said that he had been
 under great provocation and that no member should have said he (Fordney) was connected with the lumber trust. Byrd denied that he said that Ford ney'S company was member Of combina ton. He asserted. however, | that there was a lumber comb nation on the Mississippi as had been discov- cred by legislative investigation and he had simply asked if Fordney's com 1 pany was in it. Fordney said he knew nothing Of the investigation and knew very well that his company was not a party to any combination or any un- derstanding. If he had offended the member and had transgressed the rules of debate he would apoloeize. A frien T. l ly understanding was thus restored and Fordney then proceeded with his
 speech.

MOrriil Divorce w
 lyUl nE AunulIeu

Judge Edwin B. Gager. in the Civil Superior Court this afternoon oyer ruled the petition in the suit of An toinette c. Morrill, against Walter c. Morrill,.
 The Morrills it will be remembered were divorced some time ago, Mrs. Nor Till obtaining the custody of their two minor children, but the husband as given the privilege of seeing his chil- dren two months out of each year.
 Mrs. Morrill, subsequently, married the Baron Won Romberg of Germany and removed with him and her two children to Berlin. MT. Merrill has brought suit to have the divorce pro- ceedings annulled, claiming that the mother is not a suitable woman at present to bring up the children, as they will undoubtedly be educated as German subjects though they are the offspring of Americans.
 The father also claims that the mother acted in contempt of court when he is not given the care of the children at least for two months. The preliminary actions were gone through to-day with the result that the motion to expunge or strike out was over ruled

Frightened the Bride to Death.
 In the Church of Chrastian at Pisek. in Bohemia, a marriage was about to be solemnized between Anna Roslin. aged nineteen. and a youth of her choice. Bride and bridegroom stood all ready before the altar, where were lighted tapers. Before the priest could unite the bridal pair one of the tapers became suddenly extinguished., A loud shriek came from the bride. and she gasped, "Meine kerze ist erloschenr' c'My taper is extinguishedr) and sank unconscious into the arms of the bride groom. Immediately all attention was turned to the condition of the bride Several attempts were made to revive the poor girl. but in vain. The bride. in her chaplet and veil. died at the all tar rails. The superstition of the will lages of the plain is that if a lighted taper becomes extinguished on either side of the altar the person standing on that side of the altar where the light went out will suffer a dire calamity London News.

SOUR STOMACH Is An Almost Certain Sign of Acute Indigestion

If you occasionally have a taste of sour food in your mouth, it surely shows that the food you are eating is not being digested, but instead, is fermenting and giving out poisonous gases.
 Belching of gas is a common symp- tom at such times, and also that lump of lead feeling, as if your stomach was carrying a much greater load than it could stand.
 If you want prompt relief and per manent cure, go to all leading drug gfsts and get a large tin box of Mi-o- ma tablets for 50 cents.
 All leading druggists know that Mi o-na is a highly recommended scien- tific remedy, and that is why they are to cure acid stomach, belching of gas, dizziness, biliousness. sick headache, foul breath, and all stomach troubles.

Teaching Cubs to Kill.

Have you ever seen cat catch 8 mouse and hand it over to her kittens to teach them how to kill? Well, . tiger is merely a big cat, and she teaches her cubs almost in the same way, only not with mice. An East h. dian officer witnessed a scene of this kind An old bull bison had been the victim, and the tigress had disabled him by breaking one of his forelegs just below the knee. She never touched the throat, the usual place of seizing, but allowed the cubs to worry the disabled animal. The eyewitness relates that the cubs acted exactly like kittens advanced and retreated and worried the victim, all the time new ing and enarling, while the tigress sat near by, watching their antics and oc- casionally giving the bison q blow with her paw when he showed undue ac- tivity.

CaIIinx People to Church.

When I was examining the church bells of the East Riding of Yorkshire some years ago I came to a little placs called Fordon, on the wolds between Nation and Bridlington. It was a very primitive place. quite cut off from the world. the few inhabitants hardly knowing the road over the hilltop to the next place northward. The di- minutive building which serves as a church is built near the brow of the hill. It has no tower, bell turret or bell cot On inquiry I found that it had no bell. The parson came over on horseback now and then from a neighboring parish, tied up his horse outside the church. opened the door, put on his surplice and then walked to the top of the hill and cracked his whip several times. "and then we knaws as it's time ii gang ti chotch," said my informant on the spot-London Notes and Queries.

 winsted March 26.-The streams in this section are gradually receding to- day but it was feared last night that they would break their bounds and do considerable damage. Mad river reached a. freshet height and the dam of the New England Tin Company gave way but fortunately very little damage resulted. Highland Lake swollen by the heavy downpour was within inches of running over.
 Reports from the outlying sections are of a similar nature. In Norfolk, Conn.,, four inches of snow fell and at Copake, N. Y., just across the state line on the New England Railway. eight inches of snow is said to have fallen.
 New Haven, March 26.-The shore is strewn with wreckage to-day as a re- suit of the high tide last night which did considerable damage along the wa ter front The dock and bath houses in front of the Montowese House at Rranford were completely wrecked and the bank was cut out in many places almost to the sidewalk.

Venezuela received it's musical name from the early Spanish residents, who saw a resemblance to Venice in the sites of the inland cities. The nanos, or bleak plains. on which the Aaneros live a precarious life, have largely changed their character since Hum bo1dt saw them. Then these great plains of grass supported innumerable herds of cattle, but civil war led to the destruction of the beasts to feed the insurgents.
