 Apoplexy is not always fatal; indeed complete recovery without any paralN 3s sometimes occurs.

A Americanizing the Navy

The report of Rear Admiral R z Nieh- olson. chief of the bureau of navigatinh, shows that SQ.10 per cent of the men in | the service. exclusive of officers. are l American born. More than 9G per aeat | are American citizens
 This Is a great change from few Yeafs ago. In time there will he no aliens in tbe naval service. as the department is now enlsting only American citizens Re-e9- listment k not refused to those aliens now in the navy, however; so that 1t VII be some time before they arc all elIm- mated by death or retirement.
 The transformation of the hattles1ins from vessels requiring crews of old time sailor men to floating machine shops has made possible the enlistment of young Americans from the farms or inland cities.
 More than 4lo0O Of the l1G12 men in the navy service are classified as whites. There are more than a thousand each Of Fiipinos and negroes. The remainder Are Chinese. Japanese Porto Rcans. Sa- moans, flewaiians and North and South American Indians

 ..Whv do all you JohnnIes always break vour necks to get 10 a fire?'' said man who was something of Ire fiend him self
 The vagrant pointed to woman who was emerging from a nearby apartment house carrying pail or sieaming coffee.
 .There's the answer he said. At every winter fire that gives the hremen hard tussle the women Of the neighbour hood bring out coffee and sandwiches to brace them them up. Sometimes the fire men don't have time to snatch bite, sometimes they do Anyhow. there is sure 10 be something left over, and the ,,.a,,.,ueu it's s hard hearted woina II that won't give poor devil cup Of coffee a night like this

DOG FIGHT STOPS
 SACRED SERVICES
Animals Got Together in a Missouri Church and
 Caused Trouble
m the Paw Paw ,Moo Bszoo.

From the Paw Paw tMoD Bszoo.
 Church is generally a place of prayer and soul saving except a few back pew young idotlc couplesj, but Sunday il is too bad that 1t became the scene of car mage and disruption in the Methodist ed- flee on account of two dogs At Il 20 o'clock, just after Elder Beggs had iiE- ished long prayer, terrible outburst of excitement occurred over near the wa ter bucket caused by Bill IIazet and Mike Skinner's old dogs taking offense st each other and mixing ir up. No one said ..slc them" They are srouchy dogs, sny- ways. and rumor has it have always had il in for each other, which is more reason why they should not be allowed in a sa- cred church together to do like they did
 From the point of view of A sportsman fof which this town has LOO manyl il was q good fight but sportsmen should not be implicated in church. The trouble starl 70 ed from the cowardice Of old Pete. Bill'a dog Ma lor was biting hard at a flea which Of course kept his attention clge where, and old Pete took advantage of him being off guard to light in Just as Elder Beggs said 'Ameni8 the dogs start ea much to his discomfort, and knocked  Eliza Chase to the bone, who added 10 the ndiscrminate mix up by yelling as the cold water touched her skin, We suppose. The dogs stood right straight ID, as onr reporter was there and saw them, rut Elder Beggs did not lose his head In the confusion Pointing his indexture fnser toward the scene he yelled firmly. Stop them dogs.
 The owners of the dogs. strange to say, did little to uuell the nuisance. but our re- lia ble town officer Constable Hrown, was on hand and soon mixed if with the othe~ dogs Constable Brown rushed up and managed 10 get his left arm in old Pete E mouth which. though painful. made the dog sec that he was not biting on canlnt meat and he quit. Out of place as it niay seem the owners of the dogs went out side and discoursed about which animal won until their swearing could be heard up to the preacher's pulpit.
 One deplorable thing about the trou5'e was it caused numerous of the coneresa- ion to quit the church on the run b%- fore the contribution box had been passed That isn't what the Paw Paw Methods ,s want by a long shot. Keep those cranky dogs at home hereafter. Bill and Mik- Your preacher has enough trouble 1ith the heathen and money matters not 10 have to work against dog fights

SOME CUR|OS|T|ES OF A WEDDING RING How You Can Make It Do
 Stunts VERY EASY TO TRY
And Then See if You Can Account For Its Strange Actions at the End of
 String
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune
 This is the mystery of the wedding
 ring Can you solve it? Nobody, as yer.
 has been able to account for its strange convolutions, but maybe you will be
 more clever.
 What makes the wedding ring swing. Why does 1t swing one way for man
 and quite another way for woman? Is it the difference in what wise men
 call ''aura?' And a well known London doctor has recently demonstrated that the l ly. Wedding rings often make the people
 who wear them and even other persons, behave in the most unaccountable man ner. but few of us have ever seen a
 wedding ring itself indulge ir mysterious performances.
 And this is not a trick Remember that.
 It is a scientific experiment. illustrati ting
 laws of physics, physiology or psychol- ogy.
 | This is the way to go about it. Take a silver fork and place it before | you on polished wooden tao!e The folk should be at right angles from your body, with the handle nearest you. Seat yourself at the table Tie a piece | of light string. about Is inches in length | to plain gold wedding ring After the wedding ring has been tied to the ex- treme end of the string, wrap the other
 end of the string three times around the | first join of the first finger on the right | hand | Hold the string In place around the rst | finger with the ball Of the thumb of the same hand. Place your right elbow. on | the table beside the fork. with the fore | arm in & vertical position, and permit your hand to drop a a right angle from
 the wrist. This allows the string with | the wedding ring attached to hang direct | ly over the fork. | The ring must he suspended about one quarter of an inch above the fork, and as nearly as possible at its center. Place your left hand. flat and palm | downward, upon the table beside the 1 fork. Do your best to keep your hand
 steady, and thus prevent the string, with it's attached wedding ring, from swing ing. In spite of your efforts you will find that the wedding ring moves. If man is holding the string the we'd ding ring will commence slowly to sway
 back and forth along the fork. 1T wom- an holds the string the ring swaYs across the fork. With some people the move
 ment is slight, while with others it is
 marked. but at all times it is unmistak- able
 Now heres the most curious part I a woman is holding the string when the
 movement across the fork has once been firmly established. let a man place his right hand firmly upon her Jeff hand ! which, rests upon the table. The ring wil
 he. seen. slowlysto. stop tits cross move | rnenI and after few moments the mo. l ton viii be reversed. Tie ring vii | swing the length Of the fork. A similar change Of movement will oc- 1 eur in the event Of man holding the | string while a woman places her right hand over his left hand.
 Can you account for this mysterious be-
 havior of the wedding ring?

The Old Confidence Trick

Paris. March is-tSpecial)-A New Zealand farmer named Grey has fallen a victim to the ever green confidence trick
 and has lost s5O0o in bank notes. On ms way from Milan Mr. Grey made the ac- quaintsnce Of a well dressed stranger named Wellington, who stated that he lived in London On arriving in Paris the stranger warned the New Zealandcr of the danger Of carrying about with him large sums Of money and suggested that as he was familiar with the arti- fees of continental piclspockets it would be safer for Grey to trust him with his pocketbook. Wellington. as mark of confidence in the New Zealanders proo- ity, asked him to take charge of his pocketbook The exchange was duly made The stranger disappeared short ly afterwards and when Mir. Grey eN- amined the pocketbook that had been on- trusted 10 him he found it was empty.

 That ''the foundation Of dynasty" by Prince Victor would sooner or later lead to A revival of Napoleonic propaganda in France was certain Accordingly Bona- partlst candidates to parliament have 1p- peared lately in increasing numbers, with out the slightest hope of being returned but for the purpose of populsrizing Prince and Princess Victor Napoleon by post"f, picture post card and drawing room prop agands. But lynx eyed ssviors of the republic may rest ia peace. If I were French napartist am afraid I would not see much stock by Prince Victor 2 compaigning.

 East summer the first voice museum of the world was created by the University of Paris at the Sorbonne Ii is being srauually developed and phonosra pliic records of language spoken and sung are being collected.
