Darts of the world. It is distinguished 1 ty an elongated, pointed mmzle, small ryes, plantigrade, six toed feet and glands that secrete a musky fluid. Altogether It doeely resembles a mouse, hut K Is really not related to the mouse family. When at borne it is either under a pile of rubbish or in a hole which M has burrowed In the earth. It Is nocturnal In Its habits, but perfectly harmlea. Tet at one time It was much disliked and persecuted because It was fhonght to be a dangerous, mischievous fcnlmal. Among the Italians the notion was prevalent that the bite of a shrew .was extremely poisonous. The French and the English believed that If a phrew ran over an animal's foot the animal felt great pain and eventually freeame p&ralyred; hence If a horse, a. cow or a goat became a little stiff In Its limb the foolish people at once declared It "shrew struck," and the pool rhrews had to suffer in consequence. Of course the "shrew struck" animal hid to have something to cure it, so an ash tree was selected and a deep hole was bored Into Its trunk. Then a threw was captured, put alive into the hole, the hole was securely plugged, and the Innocent little animal was left to die of starvation. The ignorant believed that aftei auch an act the ash tree had power to cure "shrew struck" animals, and whenever an animal became inactive or a little numb In its limbs its ownei hurried to the "shrew ash," cut a awltch from it and switched the 'shrew struck" beast. The smarting caused by the switching naturally made the helpless animal move about as much as It possibly could, and in a abort time It was pronounced "cured." Equal to the Occasion. Some time ago a friend of mine gol a curious present from a sea captain It was a fine specimen of the bird Which sailors call the "laughing jackass," and he was 'a little proud of it. At he was carrying it home he met a brawny Irish navvy, who stopped and asked him: "Phwat kind of a burrd is that. Borr?" "That's a laughing jackass," explain fed my friend genially. The Irishman, thinking he was being made fnn of, was equal to the occasion and responded, with a twinkle In the eye: "It'a not yersllf; lfa the burrd Oi tnane,. sorr." London Answers.

SAYS HIS AND WIFE'S SOUL SAME Husband of Woman Has Sued Owner of Part of the Soul For $50,000. SHE CONFIRMS LOVE New York, Dec. 2S. In the suit of Capt. Charles B. Stoddard, of the Ward steamship line, in the supremo court, Brooklyn, against George J. Herman for $50,000 for the alienation of the affections of his wife, a most amazing story of soul love is revealed. Alvah W.

Mrs. Stoddard confirms this in language of j mystic eloquence, and she points to letters which she says were written by Mr. theory.

A small but distinguished company of English lawyers sat talking over old times. Among them was Mr. S-, who told the following story: "'I was retained." he said, "by an exsoldier to sue for the recovery of 33 which he had lent to a friend. The late Mr. J. was counsel for tho defendant. J. cross examined the plaintiff in his usual forcible way. "'You lent him the money?' Mr. J. asked. " 'I did. srr.' "'It was your own money? " 'It was, sir.' " 'When did you lend him the money 7 '"In July.' "'Where did you get that money, fir?' " 'I earned it, sir.' "'You earned It, eh? When did yon earn it?' "'During the Boer war, sir,' he said In a very humble tone. " 'You earned it during the Boer war? Tray what was your occupation during the war? Mr. J. inquired. j " 'Fighting, eir,' the man replied mod- j estly. j "'Ob, fighting!' Mr. J. said, somewhat taken down. j "I smiled triumphantly. Mr. J. waa j very angry. Well, we went to the j jury, and I, of course, had the last to; say. I sailed away to glory. I spoke or tne war. or the lives which It cost us, of the awful battles which helped to build up the glory of our nation, of the self denial and bravery of our men, -who left home and wifo and children and father and mother aud ! everything that was dear to them and weni loixa u tne ngnt, i worked up i the jury and got a verdict for the full amount. As we were quittin tne courtroom Mr. J. said: J " your war speech gained you the verdict If you hadn't discovered through my cross examination that the i man had fought in the Boer war, you wonld have been beaten. "My friend. I replied. if you had only asked the man which side he fought on you might be going home with a verdict. My client 6erved under the Boer flag.'".

INDIANA-OHIO LEAGUE ACTIVE

Organization Is to Have Eiaht. w i Members and Prospects Are Bright. COMMITTEE WILL MEET. CLAIMS OF A NUMBER OF TOWNS WHO DESIRE ADMITTANCE TO THE LEAGUE WILL BE INVESTIGATED THOROUGHLY. Club owners of the I.-O. league have started to work in earnest to complete t'le circuit, and probably will have the clubs that are to belong to the league selected, by the end of January or the' middle of February. The circuit committee will meet here Monday to canvass the situation and go over the claims of a number of towns that want membership. The chances are hat the league, whicn had such a successlul season last year as a six-club organization, will have eight clubs this year, all of them in good baseball towns and all well financed. Several of the members of the league have a surplus from last year with which they can recruit their new team. Louis Hunt, who handled the Portland club with such signal success, has been signed by Van Wert, and already has begun the task of building up a club. Clarence Jessup has much of his material tor Richmond, while Uluffton is at work to fill up the holes. Anderson already is assured of a first-class team. DIRTY WATCHES. Th Reason Is Often to Be Found In the Watch Pocket. "Why do watches get dirty?" said the jeweler. "You'll find the answer fn jour watch pocket Turn it out." The patron turned out his watch pocket sheepishly bringing forth a pinch of mud colored dust, some lint and a small ball of black fluff. "There's the reason." said the jew eler. "Watches get dirty because the pockets they are carried in are never t clean. A watch pocket, my dear sir. should be cleaned out regularly once a week. Observe that rule and your watch's works will not get clogged up again. "Another and a seasonable rule is neTer to lay your watch down on stone or marble. The cold deranges the delicate works.

As one of Manila's leading young men was donning his evening suit preparatory to keeping a social engagement he ran bis band into his pocket ud was surprised to find an envelope there. On opening it he discovered 25 pesos in bills. "Now, where in thunder did I take on all this money?" he said. "It isn't mine, for I never carry my bills around in an envelope." Then he sat down to think where he had worn the suit and how he had come by the 25 pesos. "The last place I wore it," be mused finally, "was when I was best man at a wedding a month ago. But I gave Dr. Rosslter his money. I remember distinctly giving him something, and It must have been his fee. If I didn't give bim the money, what in the world did I give him?" He called up Dr. Rosslter by phone. "Do you mind telling me," he asked, "what I gave you for a fee at Blank's wedding?" The answer came back very distinctly and cuttingly: "Young man, jou gave me a box of vile smelling cigarettes." Philippine Gossip. Arbiter and Arbitrary. ! If an arbitrator is chosen to end a dispute, says the London Chronicle, there is no reason to dread that his de- , cision would be arbitrary, though the . two words are very near relatives. An ! arbiter, the Latin word which used 1 to be more common as English than it is now. meant by derivation simply , "one who went to" something to examine it. and so at first a spectator or j witness. Then in Roman law it assum- . ed the technical sense of an umpire, i But a "judicum." the legal decision in a case with regard Jo a definite sum ; of money, for instance, was distin- . gulshed from an arbitrlum, a legal decision as to an uncertain sum which j j had to be determined; hence arbitrary ; 1 acquired the sense of uncertain, ca- j pricious. ; 1 i , It Was Plain Enough. j A college professor who recently re- ! turned with his wife from their honeymoon greatly amused a company of people in his home town, according to j the Lew is ton Journal, by assuring them, on being questioned concerning thelr trip, that nobody where they spent their honeymoon suspected that ! they were bride and groom.

DEEP SEA FISHING.

Qtte as Much a Gam of Chance as Politics or Poktr. You let down a heavy lump of lead , and two bis hooks baited with clams ' into thirty, forty or sixty feet of wa- i tpr. Then you wait until something nudces the line or until you suspe t the hooks are bare ! 'inen yoc give lue ime a quick, jertv -m. , and pull in hand over hand, with more or less resistance, and see what you have drawn into the grab bavr. It may le a silly but nutritious col. gari:1? in surprise at this curious termination of his involuntary rise in the world, or a silvery h.idaock. storing at you with round, reproachful eyes, or a pe1In, t. handsome, but worthless, or a shiuy. writhing dogfish, whose villainy is writteu on every line of his degenerate, chinless faie. It may be that spiny gargoyle of the sea. a sculpin. or a soft and stupid hake from the mud flats. It may bo any one of the srotesque products of Nejn tune's vegetable garden, n sea cucumber, a sea carrot or a sea cabbage, or it may 1k? nothing at all. When you hare made your grab and deposited the result, if it be edible, in the barrel which stands in the middle of the boat, you try another grab, and that's the whole story. It is astonishing how much amusement apparently eane men set out of such a simple game as this. The interest lies, first, in the united effort to fill the barrel, and. second, in the rivalry among the fishermen as to which of theru shall take in the largest cod or the greatest number of haddock, these being regarded as prize packages. The sculpin and the sea vegetables may be compared to comic valentines, which expose the recipient to ridicule. The dogfish are like tax notices anil assessments the man who gets one of them gets less than nothing, for they count against the catcher. It is quite as much a game of chance as politics or poker. You do not know on which side of the boat the good fish are hidden. You cannot tell the difference between the nibble of a cod and the bite of. a dogfish. You have no idea of what Is coming to you until you have hauled in almost all of your line and caught sight of your allotment wriggling and whirling in the blue water. Sometimes you get twins.

Early Legislation to Restrict the Us of the Weed. One of the curiosities of early colonial legislation is the laws enacted against the planting and the use of tobacco. Evidently the magistrates and elders of those days regarded that "creature called tobacko" as one of the many emissaries of the devil, against whom it was their duty to wage constant warfare. The planting of it was forbidden except in small quantities to be uied "for meere uecesfitle, for phisick, for penservaceon of the health, and that the same may be tolron I tri r n ( ol F Kir n n rlon t rn o Tl ' 1 All keepers of hotels and other public places were ordered not to "suffer any tobacco to be taken Into their houses." If they disobeyed the order, they were required to pay a fine to the "victualler" and one also to "party that takes it." At little later the law was changed so that it was forbidden to "take tobacco in any wine or common victual house except iu a private room there, so as the master of said house nor any guest there shall take offense thereat, ..which, if they do, the said person shall forbear upou pain of 2 shillings sixpence for every such offense." No one was permitted to use tobacco "publicquely," not even in his own house, in the presence of strangers. It was against the law for two men to smoke together. In Windsor every user of tobacco was required to procure a physician's certificate before he was permitted to enjoy the obnoxious weed. All smoking was forbidden within two miles of a meeting house on the Sabbath day. Connecticut, as a great Indulgence to travelers, allowed a man to smoke once during a journey of ten miles made not by trains, but afoot or by horse locomotion. New York Press. Ware Your Friend's Plants. j "If you have a friend going away for the summer," said the woman of experience, "don't keep a plant for her. The thing will probably die away, and you would consider yourself responsible. I worried through six weeks one summer tending a plant for a friend and then was invited to the country for a week end. I stayed two days in addition. Of course the plant was dead when I came back, and my outing was half spoiled by worrying over it. I bought a duplicate of it the day before my friend returned, and it cost me $2. Even then she said she thought it looked somewhat peaked." ; Exchange. Cheap Cheer. A charitable man dropped a nickel In a blind beggar's hat and exclaimed In a benevolent voice, 'There, my poor fellow, is a quarter for you." j "Why on earth," said the man's com-; panion, "did you give him a nickel and say it was a quarter?" ) "Oh, was the reply, "I wanted to' cheer him up."

ARSENIC EATERS.

Effects of the Drug on tho Styriana, Who Make It. "Eating of arsenic is common la Styria." said Alois E. Stelnzierl oC Vienna, a manufacturer of chemicals and drug. '-The Styrians say that arsenic makes one plump aud comely and gives one strength for great exertions. uch as running or mountain ciimbing. Styria. w hich Is iu Austria, gives the world vast quantities of arscuic. The manufacture of this drug is Indeed the main Styrlan industry. They w ho make arsenic eat It. as a ru. for they say that ou'y the arsenic enter can withstand the arseuic fumes. Tbes makers and eaters of the drujf are comely. They have a clear color and look much younger than they ere. 'The foreman in a certain factory told me that in his boyhood, when ha first came to that plant, he was advised to begin to eat arsenic lest his health suffer from the fumes. lie did Itegin. and his first two or three small doses gave him a sharp pain, like a burn, iu the stomach, and this pata was followed by tremendous hunger and a violeut disagreeable evcitoment. Hut as bis doses increased in frequency and size their effect liauie pleasant. There was no longer pain or excitement. On the contrary, there were a ravenous appetite and a mood of Joyous activity wherein the youth coulfl do three men's work. "This chap by the time he got to be thirty was taking four grains of arsenic a day. He looked at thirty, with his clear pink and white color, no more than twenty-three. He was at robust as a blacksmith. But be said be would die at forty-five or so. that being the age at which all the Styrian arsenic eaters die." Washington Herald. GEESE IN BERLIN. Rigid Inspection of the Fowls I m ported Into the City. The traffic in geese at Berlin amounts to nearly $2,000,000 a year. As the domestic supply Is wholly inadequate, a special goose train of from fifteen to forty cars arrives dally from the Russian frontier. Each car is specially built and carries about 1.200 geese. There Is a rigid inspection by sanitary officials Immediately upon the arrival of the train. Should It be found that a single duritg this period of quarantine another goose should die. the quarantine is extended for eight days, at a cost of about $500 to the owners. The penalty attaching to the bringing in of diseased geese makes tb,e owners extremely careful to Import only sound and healthy fowls. The geese which are plump and ready for market are sold to dealers at the close of the Inspection. The rest, comprising the great majority, go to feeding farms In the suburbs of the city to be fattened for market. There is a special market near the i great market place at which bracken namely, geese Injured en route, but having no disease are sold at a reduced price. Twenty-one different varieties of the Russian goose are commercially recognized, and the wholesale price varies from 44 to 60 cents a bird. Chicago Record-Herald. Sympathy Leans to Legs. "There is one appeal to charity that Is pretty sure to be answered. said a philanthropist "That is a request for an artificial leg. Iegs. somehow, are warmly appreciated by the general public, and the fellow who has to scrape along without one Is the object of sincere commiseration. During my fifteen years' experience in philanthropic work I havo issued appeals to the people at large on behalf of persons who wanted various parts of their anatomy replaced. Some wanted teeth, some an eye. others a hook like Captain Cuttle's. Physical deficiencies of that kind aroused but little interest, but Jnst let a man advertise the fact that be was in need of a leg and enough money was quickly forthcoming to fit him out with three or four pairs of legs."
