D., being duly sworn ujMinoath, each for himself, deposes and says as follows: We were called upon to make an examination of one Bert Johnson, and on the 25th day of February, IS'.hi. went to the residence of his father where he now is, and we made a careful examination of his condition, and we find that whatever trouble he may have at this time is not the result of any injury he re Iceived wh’le he was an inmate of the County Jail, and there is no foundation whatever for the state merit made by the said Bert Johnson, as to his injuries received by a kick from Peter Ashbaucher, as set out in the affidavit made by him on the 27th day of January, 1896, and such injuries do not exist.

Inatanm Which Seem to Sa-t*ln the Contention of Certuln Knvnnte. Those who contend we could get on without 1 language may add another story to prove their point, nays the Leeds Mercury. Everybody knows that In ninny cases It is not the words used but the manner of '-peaking whieli makes the impression. Thus it was that Daniel O’Connell was able to make a market dnine rare and storm by calling her a hypothenuse triangle. Some Swedish ambassadors having to present an address to Louis XVL, which they hud forgotten, recited the whole ol their catechism, and that did just as well. Prof. Drummond tells us in his “Tropical Africa" he was in a similar fix, and got out of it in a similar way. On one occasion four of his carriers ran away. There were three others of the same tribe in the company, and. though the professor knew nothing of their dialect, he determined to tench hem a lesson. Beginning with a few general remarks on the heathen, he briefly sketched the geology of Africa and then broke into an impassioned defense of the British constitution. The I three tribesmen trembled like aspens, lie concluded his reprimand by solemn-. ly enunciating the 47th proposition of j Euclid, and the result of the awful ad- j iponition wns that the men became the most faithful he had. tTue for Horn* C’hostnutn. It is popularly supposed that horse chestnuts are very unwholesome. Nevertheless in Turkey they are roasted for coffee, fermented for liquor and utilized for horse medicine.

STRANGE COINCIDENCES. •uaus InetanvsMi of th«* MkNH? of Obeying Qttrrr (Inlsrs. The London Spectator lately had a clever article entitled "The Tyranny of Coincidence," The example shown is of it Indy who wn* driving outside of Athena. When the honu-s were halted one of the team refused hl* oat*. The Greek coachman inaiated that the horse was under a *|s-11. The young Eugllsli lady hud an “evil eye." The man told Mis* Nymond* to spit—that was the only cure. The young woman wus forced to go through the unladylike performance, and at once the horse took to hl* feed. "The coincidence rlvited the chain* of superstition upon the driver tighter than ever." Many coincidences of a similar character must occur to the rentier. Here I* a case: A child was told to put a fourleaf clover in hl* left shoe, and wna assured “that he would l»e sure to find something." The little l»oy did *O, and had hardly moved out of hl* track* In a large grsss-grown pasture before hr found au old half-tlollar-of an ancient date, evidently lost years before. The child wo* not superstitious, and fortunately the parent* were not. The mutter of coincidence wns explained to him. 1 and among other things he wns plentifully supplied with four-leaf clover*. i but he never found anything. The origin of superstition associated with amulet* or any material object* must ! owe it* tiring to just such coincidences. 1 Among those who arc nut educated it | may be that the tyranny of coincidence ; doe* exist, but it should not hold with those having sound minds. We all have, however, a dark chamber in our ' brains, and it is there that the owls ! and hata of superstition flap their wrings. RUN GREAT RISKS. Ineuranur Companies Are Chary Atx»ut Krliieurinx Delayed Hhlpa. Reinsuring risks on vessels long overs due and supposed to be lost is a game of chance in which speculative marine underwriters have been Indulging. One of the vessels on which such big odd* have been taken, says the Philadelphia ' Record, was the British bark Commander, which sailed on April 11 from ChitI tugong, India, for the West Indies and , the Delaware breakwater, and has been I given up as lost. Both vessel and cargo I were insured as ordinary risk at the rates then current for vessels trading !on long voyages. After three months had elapsed without the arrival of the vessel the original insurers placed their risks with other companies, piying twenty- guineas premium and escaping the payment of a total loss. Those who took the new risk became alarmed at the continued absence of the vessel, and to protect themselves they reinsured the vessel and cargo at forty guineas ; premium. As the loss of the vessel now appears to lie l>eyond doubt those who I Inst took the risk will Im- called upon to , pay a total loss. The British ship Munster sailed in i ballast from Rio Janeiro on May 10 for Newcastle, N. S. W., and is believed to I have been lost off Cape Horn. She is now being reinsured at eighty - guineas premium. The ships Ix>rd : Spencer, which sailed from San Fran- ; cisco for Queenstown on April 9. and the Star of Austria, which sailed from Santa Rosalia on March 25 for Falmouth. are believed to have been lost, and the vessels nnd cargoes are beintf reinsured at seventy guineas premium. AN ENERGETIC NEW WOMAN. v ■ She Can Make Her Way in the World and tank Out for Herself. "I don’t take much stock in these new woman ideas,” remarked a man from south Georgia the other day, according to the Atlanta Constitution, “but 1 saw one to-day I would like to have in my corn field in fodder season to pull fodder. Say, that woman was a James D. She saw a streeFl-ur about a block and a half away and made up her mind to catch it; and she did begosh. She made a plunge for it nnd w histled for the conductor to stop the concern. The conductor didn't think she would ever reach the car and consequently did not stop. But that woman wns one of the un-to-dnters, and she hnd different notions from those of the conductor. She ran like a rabbit, and it wasn’t long before she had planted her tiny foot upon the step of the retreating car. “I felt disponed to applaud her for this feat, but about that, time she reached up and pulled the bell cord and stopped the car herself. “The conductor nnd motorman looked up in astonishment. ‘1 simply want to wait for my dog to catch up.’ she replied. to their inquisitive glances. "Now, all I have to say is this—that if that woman is a new woman, we need more of them to run this country. V\e need them particularly in th-- corn fields.” WASHINGTON’S JACKASS. It Won the First Prise at the South Carolina Fair In 1790. The collection of colonial relics for the ladies' exhibit at the Atlanta exposition has a curiosity which seems to be proof positive that Gen. George Washington was somewhat of a stock grower, and took a linnd in making exhibits at fairs himself. This relic is a large solid silver cup with the date 1790 upon it, and by Its appearance is was w ithout doubt made about that time. It bears the following inscription in fine lettering just under the rlm: “A premium from the Agricultural Society of South Carolina to Gen. Washington for raising the largest jackass.” Just under the word jackass is a picture of the animal himself engraved on the silver. Capt. Purse is now in temporary possession of this relic and proposes to secure it for the collection of colonial relics to be exhibited by the colonial dames of America. Another interesting relic, which will go in the exhibit and which Capt. Purse now has in charge, Is the saddle used by Gen. Scott w ben he rode triumphant into the City of Mexico.
