into a fulness of experience and OBJ

A prime secret of happiness is to

One who resolves to life life a

LOSES THIRST; SUES
SISTER FOR DAMAGES
From London Answers.

The recent claim for damages brought
against a great London shop by a con-
sumptive clerk. on the ground that the
unsanitary state of the office had
brought on his disease, drew from the
Judge the remark that this was the
first cas- OF the sort that had ever
come before the courts.
Cases even more remarkable keep
cropping up at intervals. though. for
tunately, they are seldom of so grave
q nature.
Some 10 years ago. for instance. q
Birmingham commercial raveler sued
a chemist for compensation for the
damages done by a special hair dye
which the chemist. its inventor. had
guaranteed would turn his customers
hair an eduring brown.
What 1t really did was to turn his
hair a curious blush tinge. with
patches Of gray. The chemist had Of
fered to compromise by supplying his
indignant customer with any recog-
nized make Of dye he wished for the
rest Of his life. But an action. followed,
and the piebald traveller secured dam
ages.
One Of the funniest cases ever
brought into a court of law vas sure
ly that which tickled all Australia to-
wards the end OF the last century. A
young Sydney business woman had
mixed a secret drink cure with her
brothers breakfast coffee.
Th brother found the effect ex-
tremely unwelcome. n when he
realized who was responsible for his
fading interest In strong drink. he
was ~ungrateful enough to sue his sis
] ter for $4,000 damages for 'conse-
| quent loss Of thirst" But an unsym-
pathetic Jury took the sisters side.
A case that reused great interest
In medical circles. as we'll as q good

brought q good many years ago by q
surgeon at q London hospital. against
q colleague for the loss of an ear.
A diseased ear was to be amputated.
The patient. struggling under chloro-
form, was being held down. Just
then the lights went out. The patient
fell on this edge OF tho table In his
struggles. and the Junior surgeon
