QUEER CAUSES OF sNEEzING
Hard . Explain Why Simple Things
Have 0ueh.a Peculiar Effect On
8orno Persons.

Some people sneeze for curious rea.
sons. There Is n clergyman who can
never cross the road on a very hot
day without carrying an umbrella. II
he does, he Is Immediately taken with
4 violent At Of sneezinG. Another
man is similarly affected by exposure
to bright gas-light.
Clergymen seem to be particularly
sensitive in this direction. Another
wearer Of the cloth used to sneeze
whenever he came near to a dead hare.
A similar Ease is that Of a young man
who could never go near a horse with
sneezing.
Peculiar odors have been known to
cause sneezing. A druggists wife al
ways sneezed when ipecacuanha was
being used in the shop, and another
PERSON always found sneezing neces-
sary whenever he entered a room where
there were violets. And there Is an &C.
count Of a well-known physician who
was fond Of chocolates, but could
never eat one without suffering spasms
of s~neezing.
Perhaps the most remarkable case
Is that Of a man who. whenever he
sees a picture Of a bayfield,, immediate
ly proceeds to sneeze his head nearly
off.-London Tit-Bits.

Queer Nest.

"Sunf1sh venture close to the shore
to lay their eggs and guard them" says
DR.. e. r. Bigelow in Boys Life. "This
is a strange fact. They begin in the
southern part of u country in April,
and may be found farther north in
the summer preparing a circular nest
In the sand by removing all the twigs,
plants and debris from a sunny spot
about as large as ones head. Then
by swaying her body the female re-
moves the sand and gravel to a depth
Of from three to four inches. Exactly
how Is this digging done? Is some of
the sand and gravel taken In the fish's
mouth? 1t is interesting to note what
coy places these nests occupy. Such
spots are sometimes like miniature
houses rs the aquatic plants are so
close together at the top that n may
well imagine them to form windows
for sun parlors. When the young are
Matched the sunfish, like the bullhead,
guards the nest against all intruders."

Signatures to Treaty.

Signatures on treaties have become
easy to arrange now that the system
OF alphabetical order Is followed, but
formerly the fight for precedence was
a cause Of ~grievous difficulty. The or
der In which names appeared on treat
les used to be determined by the stat
us of the realms concerned. But this
device involves such interminable dis
putes that other systems were suggest
ed, and as long ago as 171S, at the sig
