QUEER CAUSES OF SNEEZING
Hard to Explain Why Simple Things
Have Such a Peculiar Effect on
Some Persons.

Some people snpeze For curious rea-
sons There is a clergyman who ran
ncver cross the road on very hot
day without carrying an umbrella. If
y" does he is Immediately taken with
n violent At of sneezing Another
nan is similarly affected by exposure
to bright gas-light
Clergymen seem to he particularly
sensitive In this direction. Another
hearer Of the cloth used to snee oe
whenever he came near to a dead hare.
A similar case is that of a Young man
who could never go near a horse with
or sneeZing.
Peculiar odors have been known to
cause sneezlng. 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 ac-
count of a well-known physician who
was fond Of chocolates, but could
never eat one without suffering spasms
of sneezing
Perhaps the most remarkable case
Is that Of man who, whenever he

Catfish Made to Chance Names.

Some catfish have been nosiny
around in the mud Of the rivers to the
north of Rio Janeiro for 81 wears
without knowing their right name
They supposed thn'r name was "Stein-
'lachneria." under which they had been
baptized by Carl Fl. Eigenmann and
Rosa Smith Eigenmann In 1888. But
G. Brown Goode has given this name
to some other fish belonging to the
aristocrntlc gadoid family of Macru-
rids. Confusion and correspondence
ensned until Prof David Starr Jordan
insisted that the catfish change their
names. Therefore their sponsors have

 Her desire. Octavia confided to the police, was merely to show her hus- band she wasn't afraid to shoot when he said she was, and for that reason she had taken two shots at him with revolver. But 1 didn't mean to hit him." she added. T just wanted to scare that man."
 Sam. the husband, didn't seem to take the same view of whether his spouse meant to hit him. and accord ing to officers, Octavia surely achieved her object if she wanted to give him fright. However. Sam obligingly raised the $50 bail necessary to get his wife home again, and the two will thresh the matter out before Judge Thomas in police court tomorrow afternoon
