Until the recent re-election of the veteran Senator John T. Morgan this law had been rigidly observed.

When the Alabama legislature learned of this it promptly and unanimously adopted a joint resolution suspending the odd old law to suit Mr. Morgan's convenience. This was done without a request being made by the senator.

Somebody wants to know whether there is any difference in the weight of water when it'is in liquid form and when that same quantity is turned to ice: Offhand we should say not, but t{iere’s a big difference in the price. A Chicago woman says that it is “inhuman cruelty" to tax bachelors, because bachelors cannot help being bachelors. She holds that many men try in vain to win a wife and give up in despair. This leads the Baltimore Sun to say the Chicago women have almost as peculiar views, it seems, as the Chicago men. One of Washington’s high school principals relates an incident in connection with last commencement day. A clever girl had taken one of the principal prizes. Her friends crowded about her to offer congratulations. “Weren’t you awfuly afraid you wouldn't get it, Hattie,” asked one, when they were so many contest-1 ants?" “Oh no!” cheerily exclaimed: Hattie. “Because I knew that when it I I came to English composition I had, 'em all skinned.” W. H. Parker, who resides in the west part of the city, reports the biggest rat killing that has come within our scope for some time. Yesterday while cleaning out an old corn crib, he killed a bushel basket full of large and small rats. To substantiate his case he brings in Daniel Kitson and Elmer Parker a witnesses, who were present at the time and assisted in the rat killing. This Is the best story submitted us so far and we are inclined to vote the rat killing belt to Mr. Parker. A Bangor man in his effort to de- j scribe the coldest place in the world , spoke of a shed that was “too cold to keep wood in,” and this was the limit j until this correspondence came in from Mount Desert concerning the weather down there last week: “A fisherman of Otter creek says a big codfish was so attracted by the warmth of a gasoline heater in his dory that it jumped into the boat and tried to wrap itself around the heater. It froze in a half circle. Jed Jerkins of Trenton, went to the barn to water his stock. He fell and upset the pail. Before he could [get out of the wa/cr his boots froze to the floor. He had to take his boots off to get away.” “I've got the best alarm clock in the business and Uncle Sam provides it for me,” said a Brooklyn business man of irregular hours. “Two or three days of each week I have to rise early. Our postman has a remarkably piercing whistle and also always rings the doorbell when he leaves any mail. But although he comes regularly as clockwork at seven a. m., he does no always leave mail for me aud consequently his whistlfe does not always blow and the doorbell ring. So I just buy a postcard the afternoon before and mail it myself. It ha 3 never failed to arrive by the early mail .accompanied by the whistle and bell.” A Georgian who has the reputation of being a wretched shot recently invited the attention of his sporting friends to a target painted on a baru door with a bullet hole exactly in the center of the bull’s-eye. As his friends were Incredulous he offered to bet a dinner on the proposition. Upon the acceptance by one of the friends of the wager the chap with the supposed bad shooting eye produced wlt-| nesses whose veracity could not be questioned and they testified that he had, Indeed, accomplished the feat. So the bet was paid. During the dinner the loeer of the wager Inquired how his friend had managed to fire such an excellent shot. “Oh” exlaimed the latter with a smile, ‘1 simply shot the bullet at the door at a distance of 800 yards. Then I painted a target around it”
