From Everywhere

The highest street in the world is
Main street, in Denver; the richest
is Fifth avenue, in New York city;
the widest is Market street, in Phila-
delphia; and the shortest is the Rue
Bile. In Paris. The dirtiest street is
that of Tchanksti, in Nankin the
cleanest is the Via Castle. in Seville,
Spain; the most saristocratic one Is
Grosvenor place, in London; the most
beautiful is the Avenue des Champs
Flysees, Paris. The narrowest street
is the Via SOL Havana, Cuba, which
has width of no more than forty
| two inches.
The German "goose-step" consists
in throwing out the legs witnoul
bending the knees. 1t is used OF
ceremonial occasions, in changina
guard, and when a detachment oil
men pass an officer of high rank.
The war is hitting non-combatants
very hard. It cost Switzerland s13,
600. 900 to mobolize, and to keep the
army on a war footing means an
other $500, 900 a month. And their
annual budget is barely 500, 900.
Russia ranks third among the FISH
and deep-sea food producing coun-
tries of the world. The total yield
of fish is well over $1,000 900 worth a
year, but even this great supply is
not equal to the needs of the popu-
lation.

A young German who wished to be
enlisted in the navy, but was unable
to speak English, was being coached
by an officer.

you how long you have been in the

"His next question will be, Are

The following week the inspector
came, and walking up to the German

Bright's disease, and much more
OFTEN constipation, have each their
responsibilities in starting hiccoughs
sometimes curious noises, discord-
ant and most melancholy, issue So
norously with the hiccough.
Laxatives, sneezing, pulling the
tongue sharply in and out, the in
halation of snuff, wet sheets wrapped
about the body, the administration of
sleeping potions, and even operations
may be necessary to stop hiccoughs
DR.. Parker cured four victims of
these diaphragmatic spasms by the
application of empty teacups and
suction cups to the stomach region.
In each instance it was necessary 10
keep up the treatment for two hours,
but the quick recovery was more
than reward enough.
DR. Beilby described a celebrated
instance of singUltus in pretty girl
OF seventeen. The symptoms In her
were unusual. She emitted a ShriIi
sound, which almost resembled the
howl of wolf with each hiccough
This occurred every five seconds, and
became 50 uncanny to her supersti-
tious neighbors that she was in dam
ger of some injury when DIR. Beilby
happily cured her by putting her to
sleep and giving her several doses OF
a strong laxitiye.

The popular idea of battle line is
an array of men standing shoulder to
shoulder and many ranks deep. Such,
however, says Martin Marshall in
Leslie's, is not the reality. The line
consists of garrisons Of varying sizes
and separated by intervals Of few
hundred yards Under such condi-
tions as prevailed during the first
half of November these garrisons
dug themselves into the EARTH by
excavating trenches which they COW
cred with logs and earth to depth
of FIVE or six feet, thus securing
protection from shell and rifle fire.
These trenches. when covered, are
known as bomb proofs" and the
garrisons may range in size from one
or two companies to a regiment, or
even more in important positions.
Military experts estimate that the
men massed on the first and second
firing lines average about two to the

outposts are so arranged that one
supports another and the open spaces
between are covered by rifle fire.
Back of the first line, at varying
distances, is the second or supporting
line, which is also sheltered in
trenches and bombproofs. From this
line endorsements can be moved
rapidly to points where battle pres
sure is strongest. In the rear of the
second line, say a mile or less, field
artillery is placed to hurl shells and
shrapnel over the heads of the in

The Rabbit Case.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.


We are glad that the travesty on
Justice involved I'm wrecking a young
mans life by three months sentence
of Imprisonment for killing a rabbit
out of season has been ended by the
common sense of Governor Fielder of
New Jersey, and that Philippson, the
North Plainfield fellow who was the
victim of that travesty, has been re-
leased on bail from the Somerville
Jail. Even game laws need not call
for nonsense in their enforcement.
This boy of eighteen, good boy,
and already a skilled mechanic, was
the sole support of a widowed
mother. The rabbit had ravaged the
PhiIippson vegetable garden. The
shooting was Illegal, but not consci-
Gus defiance of law. A magistrate of
poise, of humanity, of character,
would have regarded reprimand as
sufficient punishment. That an ele-
ment of spite entered into the ex-
aggerated penalty is commonly
limited, but not yet proven. If or
when it is proven, some further at
tention to the case of that magistrate,
who is still on the bench, will be
mandatory on the proper authorities.

Winter Tourist TRAFFIC.
From the Trenton Times.
American winter resorts are going
TO be largely patronized during the
next few months owing to the OBJ
jections to European travel created
by the war. Florida will probably be
oVerrun with northerners in quest of
warm climate and Southern Cali
fornia will also have many visitors.
Bermuda will gain additional pres
tige, and there will be many tourists
to Panama, Cuba and South Ameri-
can ports. Mexico, which otherwise
would have enjoyed the advantage
of heavy tourist traffic, will be avoid
ed because of the deplorable condi-
ton of its affairs. incidentally it may
be remarked that some few of US
are to remain at home and viii man
age to keep warm by lodging cur
creditors.
