"L never take a dare,' ' he said, and touched the white pipe with his tongue. In a moment he was writhing, pain. His = companions laughed, thinking he was playing a joke. One of the engineers, hearing the cry, found the boy on his knees almost un- conscious. png Travis' tongue was terribly swollen and. frozen fast = to the pipe. All efforts to release him were futile and his father was sum- moned. Learning there was only one way to save his son, he spoke to the engi- neer, and turned away while the man opened a sharp blade of his pocket knife and cut off the lad's tongue. Refore Dr. * Charles B. Neal could ar- rive the boy had almost bled to death, It is now thought his dare will cost his life. WHERE LIFE IS LONG. Carolina Carries of the Pal Early. ! Success Magazine.

The quantity is varied according to the age of the calf and the severity of the trouble. Of course the quantity of milk is reduced by the amount of cof- fee added.

Curiosities of Court Etiquette at Various Courts. <A curious' curtailment of the royal prerogative is still in effect by an act of parliament Danced in the reign of avi hi He which deals with = Sab- bath break! ¢ monarch shall not have the po. to pardon any person convicted of a certain form of Sab- bath breaking. Yet his majesty can pardon ninety-nine out of every hund- red' prisoners in the land. A number of years ago it was per missible, and, in fact, a matter of strict, etiquette, for a visitor who should obtain an audience with the Sultan of Turkey to bow and kiss tKe hand of that Oriental poténtate. An- archists, however, took advantage of the privilege, and on one memorable occasion a treacherous emissary drove a dagger into the heart of his sover- eign, and from, that time forth the privilege has begn disallowed. 'hen the youthful king of Spain was twelve years of age, he one day had the misfortune to slip and fall down a flight of the palace steps. The fall would very probably have been attended with fatal results had it not been for a servant wif' extended a kindly hand and saved his young ma- jesty by breaking 'the fall. But, by a stringent rule of Spanish etiquette, no servant may dare touch the sacred per- son of the king, and for this very "grave" offence the servant was at once dismissed from his 'position. By @« remarkable law of royal eti- quette, which has existed for a num- ber. of years past at the court of Siam, 'no person is permitted to sleep in an aparyneny situated above that occupied by the king. A deliber- ate breach of this rule has on more than one occasion * been punished by death. Recently, when the king of | Siam paid a visit to Paris, a number of bedrooms, were reserved, directly above that in which the King was to have slept, for the dusky followers of the royal visitor. The blunder caused ! great consternation among the fear- ful courtiers, until the matter was ex- plained to the management and duly rectified. {| It is a traditionary etiquette custom in the Marlborough family for each duke to present ug Rlenheim spaniel to t the duchess when she first enters Blen- heim palace for the first time as. its mistress.

The Daily Mail, commenting upon an important ruling from the House of Lords yesterday, says: In the interesting case of Paquin v. Holden, the House of Lords dealt with a matter of the utmost importance to married women and tradesmen. Messrs. Paquin in the first instance sued Mrs. Holden for £245 for dresses which had been supplied to her. She pleaded that she was acting as the agent of her hus- band, and was therefore not lable; but, though, the jury difagreed, judgment was entered against her, The Appeal Court reversed this decision, and decid ed in her favor, and on a further 4p- peal to the House of Lords, the House was equally divided, with the result that the judgment: of the Appeal Court stands. This is the first timé that such a question has been carried to the House of Lords, and the consequences of this judgment are not wholly satis- factory from the business point of view, as the immunity which is conferred up- on the married woman places her in a very peculiar and privileged position. That the House of Lords felt some qualms as to its decision can be infer- red from the division of opinion of the eminent legal authorities who form the highest court in the land.. A married woman is apparently free to contract what debts she likes without disclosing the fact that she is an agent of her husband. When she is sued for pay- ment of those debts she can plead that she is an agent, and she escapes all lability. The burden of ascertaining the facts rests with the tradesman, and he is, in legal theory at all events, supposed to put to his customers of the fair sex, whose names show that they are mar- ried, a series of embarrassing questions. He must ask them whether they aré "principals™ or "agents," and if he does not take this 'precaution he supplies goods at his peril. © In these days of acute competition, such conduct on the part of the fashionable tradesman would, It is to be feared, issue in the loss of custom and result in his bank- ruptcy. As the same results follows if he supplied the goods and found him- self unable to obtain payment, he is impaled upon the horns of a dilemma. Nor must it be assumed for a mo- ment that it is all plain sailing for the shopkeeper, even if he makes the most careful inquiry and is definitely in- formed that the lady is acting as a principal. It is a matter of common knowledge that settlements are the us- ual rule in the upper stations of life, and a married woman whose property is settled is again practically immune, and cannot be reached by her creditors. Thus the tradesman is once more In difficulties, and it is not very clear how he is to succeed in business. Definite assurances that the husband has given authority to the wife to incur debts and that the wife is an aggnt are, as we have alresidy pointed out, not easy to obtain without giving' offence in some direction. The existing state of the law may be a good argupent for matri- mony, but it is certainly detrimental to business. The remedy for this state of affairs can only be attained by a change in the law. If the customer is acting as an agent and has no responsibility, it should be incumbent upon her to dis- clese that fact. If she neglects to make such a disclosure at the outset and al- | lows the tradesman to look to her fof | payment, she should be debarred from pleading at some future date that she has been only an agent, and that there- fore her estate is not liable. This was the view taken by Lord Robertson and Lord Atkinson, and, since it is not ac- tually the law at present, it should be made such by a short bill. It is contrary to public policy that any person should be permitted to enter into contracts her status.

The world is like a spin- ning top, they say, the upright centre upon which it spins being the axis. Now they belleve that the earth is running down, and is wobbling just like a top. Lest anyone should be alarmed for fear the spinning should sugdenly stop, we hasten to explain that it has § been running down for some millions | when an allusion was made to his son by Mr. Gladstone. It was dn the very height and agony of the fight over the | home rule bill. Young Mr. Chamberlain | had made a speech, and to that speech | Nobody knew what was coming when Mr. Gladstone mentioned the name; and have imagined that the allusion would not be complimentary. Anyhow, what happened was that Mr. Gladstone said that the speech was one which a fath- er might be proud to hear from the lips of his son. Mr. Chamberlain breke down promptly, visibly, without any power or effort at restraint. He drew his hand across his forehead and his eyes--evidently to hide unbidden tears. It was a curious instance of the man of iron revealing for a moment the softer side of his nature, Looked the Same te Him. A well-known author, who was re- cently exploring a remote part of the east end of London, found himself be- set by the pangs of hunger, Entering a small restaurant of somewhat doubtful aspect, he ordered a mutton chop. The walter after a long delay returned bear- ing a plate on which reposed a dab of mashed potatoes anda much overdone chop of microscopic proportions and with a remarkably long and slender rib 'attached. Clapping this down briskly before the famished author, the waiter started off to attend to another cus- tomer without further ceremony. "I say," shouted the author, "I order: ed a chop." "Yes, sir," it is" "Oh, beg pardon---that's true," return- ed the author, peering at it closely.

That many regions that are now hot were once cold, and many cold places once semi-tropical, seem to be proved by scientific discoveries, which need not be discussed here Another scientific theory is that the earth swings back and forth every few years, and that the cold winters for five or ten years are followed by mild winters for a like period of time. All we can say of this theory is that to strike a winter like this, after last winter, the earth would have had to back up so suddenly that everyone must have felt the jog. Passing over the sun-spot theory, which has many admirers, we come to the students of the Gulf Stream and its influence upon our climate. These ob- servers declare that the stream fs changing its course, and is now closer to the Atlantic Coast of Canada and th United States than It was some years ago. The fact that the climate of Maryland and New Jersey is growing warmer is offered as proof of this theory. The Japanese current, others say, is changing its course.
