Before the Judge could recover from his | amazement Mr. Brusie, in the name | of the United States District Attor- office and of the lawyers prac- ticing before the court, presented the upright Judge with a beautiful cut crystal water set with silver trim- mings.. Mr. Brusie made a flowery speech on behalf of the members of the Federal bar, conveying their sen- | timents of esteem and confidence. { Then D. D. Jones, better Known as “Deacon” Jones, came in for a glad surprise. Mr. Jones is a Welshman, but he speaks Chinese as well.

Yore, 710 First avenue, St. Joseph, Mich., is dead. That fact itself is not startling, but the manner of the kitten's death is so unusual that it has aroused h interest on the part of neighbors, sicians and veterinarians in this The kitten, in a moment of exces: e playfulness twelve days ago, swallowed a hatpin. The animal was only four months old, and of the usual size for such an ag The hatpin wz seven inches long, with a stone he: Mr. Yore néticed the kitten playifig with the ornament, which came from his daughter’s hat. on afterward the pin was missing. Search was futile; and the kitten, which continued to bé as sportive as ever, gave no symptoms of distress until a few days ago, when | | it became ill and subject to fits. This | started a controversy in the household. One side asserted that the kitten had | swallowed the hatpin. The other ridi- culed the idea as physically impossible. Neither wovld weaken, however, and finally Mr. Yore became convinced that the only means of solution of the mystery lay in a searching examina- tion of pussy’s anatomy. No X-ray being handy. chloroform and a Inife were used. The result was the recov- {ery of the hatpin at the cost of the | cat’s life. The pin had been swallowed, its white head going down first, the !m»ral body following until the point found a lodging place in the animal's throat. Before the _dis- isection took 1lace the case was placed before a physician and two | veterinarians. In their opinion they | declared that the kitten could not have swallowed a pin of such length. Later when the pin was produced and shown to them they expressed much aston- ishment.—Chicago Inter Ocean. e e French and Other Vitality. official statistics respecting the births, marriages and deaths registered in France during the vear 1902 have juse been published in Pari The excess of births over deaths is shown to have been 83,944, an increase of 11,546 when com- pared with the previous year. This in- | crease, however, is not due to an in- | crease in the number of births but to a the number of deaths, seeing that there were 11.806 births and 24, deaths less in 1902 than in 1901 e | figures, therefore, only apparently favorable. lation of France continues to be very slow indeed.

In the midst of the Christmas ev celebration a coal oil lamp was upse! | iby the drunken women and Mrs. Sneider’s clothing caught fire. The fire department was summoned by outsid |ers who saw the flames, and the blaze | was quickly extinguished. The unfor- | tunate woman was removed to the | Emergency Hospital, but died before the ambulance reached there. Her | | body was removed to the Morgue. She | | was about 45 vears of age. The Bress | | woman was taken to the hospital and | booked for alcoholism. i The little house in which the accident | | occurred is a squalid affair of the dirty | type that abounds in that portion of | the city. Mrs. Mary Brant, the land-| lady, denied that there had been any | | drinking in her house or that she or | Naughton had taken any part in the revelry. C ‘ The condition of the Bress or Naugh- {ton woman, however, was too signlfi- | cant and the disorganized state of the | house furnishings bore out the evidence | of a drunken “time.” The landlady at- | tributed the confused .appearance of | her dwelling to the fact that she was | preparing for a paper-hanger.

The berg was several miles from the Hannover, but the bears were plainly visible with the naked eye {to those ¢n the vessl, but through a | glass the huge animals could be seen | swinging their ponderous heads to and fro as thev walked aDout on their floating home. How- the bears got on the berg and their probable fate afford- ed food for much speculation among the passengers as they stood on the deck and watched the mountain of ice and its prisoners growing smaller in | | the distance as night came on. Spring | is the usual seagdn for icebergs. and | the presence of the piece of an Arctic | glacier on the Atlantic at this time of | the year is unusual. The bears were | evidently on the iceberg when it glided from the shore into the Atlantic Ocean. | It will drift south until melted to noth- | ing by the warm waters of the Gulf, | stream. The iceberg was sighted in lat- |itude 4454 north and longitude 48.29 west. i LTS R i Sunshine and Storm. | ! Who says the wellsprings of poesy | | cannot bubble up in the bosom of the aged? The Lawrence Gazette gives an account of the divorce suit brought by ‘nele” Patterson against his young | wife. Patterson took the stand in his | own behalf.

How long did you court your wife? he was asked. “How long did I cou’t huh, how long | did I cou’t huh?" replied the old man | | breaking into peals of laughter. “I| | atdn’t cou't huh, she done cou’t'd me!™| | And thén, says the Gazette, he went on as follows, while the court sat spell- bound: £ o0y “Jedge, th’' fust two years uv mar- ried life were like th’ sunshine on th’ meddow an’ th' co'nfield.

It | is the most beautiful city in the land.” “'Tain't,” responded the small girl with conviction. “It's a horrid place. Why, papa,” she continued, the light of triumphant argument in her eye, “there isn’t mud enough in all Washington to make a single pie.”—Washington Post. —_—————— Coldest and Hottest Places. The coldest place on earth inhabited by man is Verkhoyansk, above the arctic circle, im Northeastern Siberia. The thermometer there drops to 90 de- grees below zero in January, but some- times it rises to 86 degrees above zero in the shade in July, dropping, how- ever, to the freezing point on the warmest sammer nights. The hottest place in the world is the interior of the great Sahara desert, in Africa, where the thermometer rises to 122 de- grees.

RRESI A X N B . Wants to Buy Another Ear. A special to the New York Sun from Ironwood, Mich., says: The grafting of an ear to the head of a Western man in a Philadelphia hospital has a sequel. Though the man who sold his ear to a rich'man for $5000 made the sacrifice willingly, now thét the ear is gone he misses it, and is seeking for another ear to replace the one he sold. That is the story which has devel- oped from the visit to Dr. O. V.

The Hungarian's name is kept a secret by the physician, who says that the call made upon him was pro- fessional, the Hungarian wanting to know if the operation would be safe. The doctor thinks that the caller will undergo the operation, as he was advised that the process was not dan- gerous. The Hungarian was applied to, it is understood, because he was one of those who responded to the New York advertisement offering $5000 for an ear. ————— The Latest London Slang. “Rita,” the social chronicler of Lone cizes the language heard at restau- rants, in the stalls of the theaters, the grandstands of race courses and the Jo - bein, lot on E line of London street, 216 N of | fashionable women’s clubs.
