STAYS IN BED FORTY YEARS.

Because he was prevented by his
father from marrying the girl of his
choice, Joseph Plummer of Milton, N.
H., has remained in bed 40 years.
The woman he loved is dead, but the
old man has not been told; in fact he
refused to speak to her from the day
when he said to his father Since
you will not let me have her, have
no other ambition and may as well
spend the rest of my life in bed" Jo-
seph went to bed He continued in
bed day after day, week after week,
year after year, until the sensation of
his conduct waned and he became
more or less of an institution in Mil
ton. His mother and father have
both died. Now his two brothers,
both we'll along in years, and both
bachelors, keep the Plummer house
hold, which is prosperous one, and

in search of a watch and ring which
she claimed belong to her But Mr..
England woke up and gave her a slap
in the face.
She tried to go through his pockets
again and testified that he gave her
a kick in the back. Under cross-ex-
animation Mrs. England told that she
had struck her husband with a shoe
After listening to considerable of
this testimony, Judge Lee stated in
his opinion this couple ought to be
brought together and become recon
ciled He brought out the fact that
the woman only wanted separate sup
port and probably would become
reconciled to her husband some time
and thought the present a good time
Judge Lee conferred with Lawyer
Thomas F. Cooney, who represented
Mrs. England, and Lawyer Arthur
Cushing, representing Mr. England,
and they agreed to do what they could
to effect a reconciliation.
But you must tell your client" ad-
monished Judge Lee, with a smile, in
addressing Lawyer Cooney, that she
must not go through her husbands
pockets again. A man is justified in
slapping his wife if she goes through
his pockets"

CONCERNING MEERSCHAUM

The valuable material from which
meerschaum pipes are made is con-
tinually getting scarcer and the large
industry which has fiourished in vi.
emma, Budapest, Nuremberg, Paris and
in the Thuringian town of Ruhla
seems endangered. The manufacture
Of meerschaum pipes is much more
important than is generally supposed,
The town of Ruhla alone has been
exporting in round figures pipes to the
value Of about $1,5OO,0OO annually.
The finest grade of meerschaum is
found near Eski-Schelir, in Anatolia
Asia Minor, in hollow which in early
days was a lake in which the meer
schaum was precipitated. Meerschaum
is also found in other places, includ'
ing Thebes, Egypt, the Bosnian
mountains, in the neighborhood Of
Grubschitz, and Nuendorff in Moravia,
and in some sections Of Spain and
Portugal.

There will be a center court or log

the building; grand stairway, and
balconies on the various floors.
The walls Of the floors looking on
the court will be entirely of glass.
The main floor will contain stores, and
seven floors above will be rented for
show rooms
The three upper floors will be used
for exhibition purposes. AS the area
Of each floor is greater than the
arena area of Madison Square Gar
den, the building will be able to house
any Of the large business shows now
held in the garden.
One of the structural novelties Will
be a movable floor, the same size as
the center court of the building, which
may be raised or lowered, permitting
any large exhibition to have a main
floor on the ninth story, with the
tenth and eleventh floors serving the
purpose of balconies.

Chinese 10 London where large Eng
lish hair dealers viii convert it into
coifures of the latest fashions and
OF various shades, and then ship real
imported" puffs back to American soil
The money which the Chinese in
this country will receive for the hair
is to be sent back to China.
Some time ago an edlct was passed
to the effect that all citizens or for
mer citizens of China might cut of
their queues or retain them as they
saw fit. 1t was formerly one of the
strictest laws of the country that
every citizen must wear a queue, and
those without them were MT allowed
to return to the empire on pain of
severe punishment.
Most of the Chinese in Chicago
have taken advantage of the new
edict," said Ling. They find the
queues Of no service and they are
great bother. Besides they want to
look like the other people of the coun-
try, and then, too" he added with a
knowing wink, they like the money
better than the queue"

It may seem strange that the most
fashionable of Chicagos smart set
will be able to purchase real import

rats which were once the queues of
Chicago chop suey walters and Chin

indisputable, for according to the edict
recently passed in China 80 per cent.
of all the Celestials in the United
States have divorced themselves from
one of the most typically distinguish
ing features Of the race-the queue.
Following a similar move in the
Chinatown of New York, San Francis

Chicago the other day kept the BARRIERS
busy with the shears and by night
there were few left along South Clark
street who could boast of the pig

Crow Heads Puzzle the Officials

"off rainy days" hunting crows. They
are bringing them 10 the county seats
by hundreds, The heads are strung
like so many beads or pearls, and oft
en- the strings measure four or five
feet IN length, In communities where
the crows are plenuful-and that
seems to be all over Indiana-the gun
ners can bag enough crows in a day
TO realize q good compensation for
their work.
Here Is where the rub comes in.
The county clerk who receives and
pays for the crow heads must keep
them until his books, stock and office
materials are audited by the county
commissioners, which is once a year
Now what is the county clerk going
to do with the hundreds and hundreds
of crow heads brought to his office?
Surely he cannot put them away in
the safe with other valuables, Neither
can he throw them away for in that
event he would have TO stand the
bounty money from his own pocket,
The result is that his office smells to
high heaven, and even the sale of
marriage licenses has suffered
slump.
And that is the reason the county
clerks Of Indiana have signed a round
robin and forwarded It TO Governor
Marshall, praying him to offer a solu-
tion, or at least appoint a commission
for that end.

course Of a separation suit brought
by Elizabeth T. England against her

a man is justified in chastising his
spouse if she rifles his pockets.
The Englands have been married
about five years, and recently there

Mrs. England wanted separate sup
port from her husband when she came
into court. She told on the witness
stand that they had three children
and had been living happily enough
until a short time ago
One night, she related, Mr. England

Of the county clerks in Indiana are
being filed to overlooking with the
heads of dead crows, and the result is
not pleasing to the sense of smell, TO
say the least. Came about this way:
At the last session Of the legislature
the farmers of the state succeeded in
having a law enacted which placed a
bounty Of ten cents upon the head OF
every crow. The farmers argued that
tho crows destroyed much of their
crops by eating the seeds after they
were scattered on the ground and

body thought It would be a good
scheme to abolish the pest by killing
off a large number of the prolific
crows. And so it came to pass that

at once and for all time.
But 1t wasn't. The county clerks

Aero Landing and Lake on Roof

Anew YORK.-New York within a
~ year is to have one of the most re-
markable buildings on earth. 1t is
designed to replace Madison Square
Garden, and not the least of its fea-
lures will be a landing stage for fly
ing machines. A S2,000,000 structure
Is to be reared on the site of the old
Brewster carriage factory on the west
side of Broadway between Forty-sev-
enth and Forty Eighth streets 1t will
be used mainly for exhibition pur-
poses and various trades in the sport
ing line.
The Broadway project is backed by
Brewing company of Milwaukee, rep
resented in New York by John OH
meis, restauranteur, and Oscar
Schmidt The building will be erected
by the Atlas Development company,
which in January of last year took a
long lease on the Brewster site from
the Sutphin estate.
The new building is to be adapted
particularly to the needs of the au-
tomobile, motor boat and aviation in
dustries and their allied trades, With
this end in view, certain unusual
structural features have been planned,
such az a starting and landing track
on the roof for flying machines,
lake 60 by 1876 feet, also on the roof,
for the display Of motor boats, and an
enormous freight and passenger ele-
vator, 25 by 81, capable Of carrying an
aeroplane, a 5O-foot motor boat or
about 400 persons at one trip.

very high ceiling, viii contain res
