"A Judicial Favor,

A verdS@t local reporter whose pro pensities incline to daring rather than to judgmeLt and whose ardency in the quest of news is one of his marked characteristics approached a judge of the United States district court and so- l1cited a little advance information on a case in progress in the judges court.
 You see, judge" said the youpgster to the astonished jurist, i've so to press in a few moments, and we all know your inclination to do a news paper man a favor"
 The venerable man eyed the youth sternly and said slowly and emphat- ically:
 ''Yes, young man, I'll do you a fla vor this time, and you will see that you don't ask me again." .t-
 That's fine, your honor. Thanks, very much. Just few lines will do."

Hair Monstrositiea.

French theater managers in the eighteenth century had worse evils than picture hats to contend against. Marie Antoinette. who was short even according to French standards, set the fashion of high cultures. and ultra. fashionable women prided themselves on measuring four feet from their chins to the tops of their heads. These structures took about six hours to erect, the hairdresser mounting a ladder in the process. Some cultures were almost as broad as they were long, with wings sticking out about eight inches on each side of the head. For the "frigate" coiffure the hair was rippled in a huge pile to represent the waves of an angry sea and surmount- ed by a fully rigged ship. AS con- sequence of these monstrosities dis turbances in theaters occurred almost daily until an ordinance was issued against the admission of women with high cultures to the floor of the house.

Would Kill Infant Imbe ciIes

The custom of savages who destroyed infant born hopeless imbeciles was ap- plauded, last week, at clinic of the Detroit College of Medicine alumni at St. Mary's hospital. Among the child ren submitted for examination was a baby girl bearing all the stigmata of de- generation. Dr. O. R. Pisek, of New York, who was conducting the clinic, excused the child's mother from the room and then, turning to the assembled physicians, said:
 "Some surgeons operate Tn a case like this, trephining from the front to the back of the skull to give the brain room.

Let a Stranger Work the Old Substitu-
 tion Game on Him.
 Slcato Sebastin ,, who lives ill the rear of No. 175 State street, Hartford, paid $99 Thursday afternoon for a plug of chewing tobacco, then he made a com plaint to the police.
 Sebastino met an Italian near his home. The stranger offered him work, and Sebastino accepted. While they were going to meet his prospective em- ployer, the stranger asked him what bank he kept his money in, and Sebas- tino said he had $100 in Leroy's bank on Front street. The stranger gave him a handkerchief, and told him to go and get it out, for the bank was going to be closed. He drew $99 of the $100, wrapped it in the handkerchief, and let the stranger have It. Presently it was re- turned to him, and he was told to go and put his money in another bank, and to meet his prospective employer half an hour later at Front and Morgan streets. He hastened to another bank, and when he united the handkerchief it contained only a piece of chewing tobacco.

The Persistency of Colds.

Why is it that we are so heavily subject to colds? Other epidemic dis eases-measles, typhoid, scarlet fever, diphtheria-may get hold on us once and there is an end; 1t is not usual to have any of them twice. We brew in our blood immunity. The poison of the disease evokes in us its proper anti dote. Our blood cells make a sort of natural antitoxin and keep it in stock, so that we are henceforth protected against the disease. A we'll vaccinated nurse, for example, works with safety in a smallpox hospitalA where the very air is infective, but her blood is so changed by vaccination that the small pox cannot affect her. By scarlet fe- yer, again, we are, as it were, vacci- mated against scarlet fever. The reac- tion of our blood against the disease immunizes us. No such result follows influenza or a common cold. We brew nothing that is permanent. We are just as susceptible to a later invasion as we were'to the invasion that is just over.-London Spectator.

His Athletic Neiohbor.

A young man inmate of a boarding house had been disturbed night after night by the boarder in the next room doing things with punching bag he'd rigged up in the room some way. At breakfast each morning the young man would look over the crowd and won der who the bag puncher might be, but there was no one in sight but a bunch of women and eight or ten men with narrow chests and retreating ehins. One night he made up his mind to knock on the bag punching room CTS door and ask him to put over his exercise until daylight when all the worlds awake. The man might be small enough to bulldoze even with all his athletics. The door opened and there, clad in a tight fitting red jersey, was a robust, buxom woman of per haps thirty summers.

 ''I was so startled" replied he, that asked what afterward seemed to me the most natural request I could have made. 1 asked her if she'd lend me a couple of matches. s."-Cleveland Plain Dealer

A Warning to Dreamers.

It was sweet dream but sad awake ming for Frank Futon, an editor of Boston. living at 161 Fremont street one night last week. Dreaming, he wandered among the stars, drank from the big dipper and flirted with Venus. He was having the time of his life when Halley's comet came dashipg toward him at the speed of a soubrette in a lobster hall. He must push it aside. He thrust his arm forth. Then he woke up. ...
 He had pushed his hand through the window of sleeper and had 1t almost removed by signal post past which the train was flashing. When the train reached New York Futon was taken to the Lincoln hospital and his injuries dressed. Then he resumed his journey to Washington.

answer is as follows;

terms"
The Aero club, it is declared, is pre-
pared to back Moisant to the extent OF
100000 if Grahame-W White will race him
on equal terms.
The response of the American air racer
puts the matter squarely up to the Eng,
lishman And, now that the interna-

Americans have carried off the chief
laurels, aeroplane enthusiasts are openly
expressing the hope that Grahame- White
will meet Moisant's conditions.

COAL NOW LEADS

wood was used for fuel annually, The
estimated value of this wood was APP
proximately 1922 100000. The popula
tion OF the United States was at that
time but 80 million Since then, how
ever, the population Of the United
States has reached about 80 millions,
but the use Of wood as fuel has de-
creased in total quantity Coal how

The geological survey announced that
in 1880 the total production Of coal
was 1881 $40 short tons, while in 1908
1t amounted to 4l5.s42 short tons, or
nearly six times the amount Of 1880,
The quantity Of frewood used on
farms varies greatly between different
parts Of the country on account of a
number of influences, such as climate,
the distance from coal fields, the de-
velopment of transportation facilities
and the progressiveness of the consum-
ers
Except III the Pacific coast states, and
in Arkansas, Louisiana and Missouri,
the consumption of wood on the farms
west OF the Mississippi river il com
paratively small. The states north Of
the Ohio river use less frewood per
farm than those south Of it. Though
this may seem strange because the CHM

explained largely by the fact that in

Only is relatively little coal used in the
South, but fireplaeos require large guam
titles of wood for the amount of heat

In the New England states and in
the South Atlantic states rather more
wood is used than in the middle At
lantic states, which are within a short
distance Of coal fields and which have
good transportation facilities.
