One of the moat Interestins cases of compensation for the death of a relative Is recorded In Chinese law books. A certain Wu was set on by robbers, and his head nearly severed from his body. His friends, finding him almost dead, with bis head hang ing by a strip, put tho head carefully back in position and "applied band aees. The patient, being strong and I healthy, the wound healed, and the only s'.nn remaining nner a iew month was a seam around the throat. Some nine years later Wu was sitting among friends at a banquet. Somo one made a really good Joke; all laughed; as for Wu, he Hung back his head and simply roared. Horror! The Beam opened and Wu"s head fell to the floor. All ef forts to repeat tho operation of tho former occasion failed, and a percept ible gloom was cast over the re mainder of the feast. Wu's father, thus deprived of the future attentions of one of those whose duty It would have been to worship him after death, brought an action for heavy damages against the man who made the Joke that precipi tated disaster. Unfortunately, the case never went to a decision, as tt was pettled out of court on terms satisfactory to the plaintiff. French Are Fond of Bread. More bread la eaten in France per capita than In any other European country cxvept Belgium. Youthful Elopers. The you'hful elopeniont'ln Dickens'! pretty story was duplicated In real; lifo tlv other day. when Jesso Yeakey a';ed four years, and Annie Theresa Unterfashberger, aged three years left their respective homes In Port land, Ore., and wandered down town hand In hand, intent on getting mar riod. The course of true lovo never did run smooth, however, and the lit tie romance was spoiled by Patrol man Riley, who met tho tots In the heart of the business district. The boy was much abashed by the man tn unl form, but the girl lisped out 'their plan to get married and visit a mov ing-plcture show. When taken to the police station, where their frantic parents were waiting, there was o scene. "No," screamed tho little girl breaking Into tears a3 her mother started to take her away. "Annie wants to stay and marry Jesse." Usually. Teacher "What Is a Laplander?" Young Miss "An awkward man in a crowded itreit car." Giving Work to All. Mias Eastman, serretary of the New York branch of the American Assocla tion for labor legislation, says that somehow a plan must be devised that will give men the rlht to work. Sure ly. she says, It is an unintelligent so ciety which will let men who want tc work starve, beg or steal. Surely thlt country Is prosperous enough to afforc an elKht-hoiir day six days In the week for everybody. Vivisection. "In the agony of death a dog hns j at iho top of their lungs.." Nerve. He was only a tramp, but ho was there with the nerve. Entering tlu fashionable lunch parlor he pompous ly seated himself at a table, devoured a pickle and dropped seven lumps o! stuar and two biscuits into his coat pocket. Then he sampled the horse radish, drank a glas3 of water ana glanced at the menu. "Well?" snapped the tall waiter In the low-cut waistcoat. "Well, how'dy, pal!" called tho stranger affably, "What you got tc eat?" "Everything," responded tho waltn tn Icy tones. "On my word! Got any welsh rab bit ?" "Yes." "How do you servo It?" "Any way you want!" Tho tramp moved his chair out a few Inches. "Well, give me the left hind foot, old sport. I want It for luck." And helping himself to another bl3 cult the tramp dodged a saucer anc vanished Into tho night Didn't Venn Anything. "One can't help knowing," said a dandy, "when one is good looking Why, I got off at a small station the other day In the country, and I must confess that I attracted a great deai of attention." "It doesn't mean anything," said his friend. "Why, when I get out of the Grand Central station I meet a crowo of men who yell 'Hansom! Hansom!' been known to caress his master, anc every one has heard of the dog suf ferlnK under vivisection, who llcke.i tho hand of the operator; this man unless the operation was fully Ju-.tt fed by an increnso of our knowledge or unless he had a heart of stone must have felt remorse to the las. hour of his Ufo."
