Keep up hope. There are thousands of cases where re- covery from Consumption has been complete. Plenty of fresh air and a well-nour- ished body will check the progress of the disease. Nu- tritious foods are well in their way, but the best food of all is Cod-liver Oil. When partly digested, as in Scott’s Emulsion, it does not dis- turb the stomach and the body secures the whole bene- fit of the amount taken. If you want to read more about it let us send you a book.

Curious Questions Raised In Courts.of Law. All Countries Contribute a Share of What Would Make an Interesting Vol- ume-—-Several Examples,

An interesting volume might be writ-

, ten on the curious points of law that

are constantly arising in the courts.

| The most expert lawyers and judges ure | frequently puzzled by the novel situa-

tions in which they are placed.

One of the most curious points of Jaw su record arose recently in a court at Jersey, in America. The question was whether eggs, after reaching a certain stage of incubation, were to be regarded as eggs or chickens. After quarreling about the matter for some time, counsel offered to break one of the eggs to sat- isfy the law that it contained a chicken, in which case, of course, the eggs would bave been considerably enhanced in value, but there was a general demur to this suggestion, and the justice re- served his decision till he had consulted his colleagues. The result had not come to hand at the time of writing.

A remarkable case in France excited & great deal of attention some time ago. A gentlemar dining on the terrace of a Narbonne restaurant let a bank note fall into his soup. He laid it down on the table to dry and a gust of wind blew it away. A passing dog swallowed the note, and the gentleman detained the animal, whose collar happened to bear its master’s name. Indignant at his loss, the owner of the note sued the dog’s master for 100 francs, the value of the note. There was much legal hair splitting, but at length the court ordered the owner of the dog to pay the money.

Another French case was that against a Paris hairdresser, who was sued by a lady for £60, being the price of her damaged locks. The fair claimant had used the bairdresser’s wash, which was said to restore fallem locks, but the result in this case was to burn the hair off com- pletely. The point was the liability of the hairdresser, and the court awarded the lady £8.

Applications for injanctions often raise curious points. Not long ago an injunction was granted to restrain an officer in the life guards from keeping horses in a London drawing room, the ground of objection being the noise which the animals made, which annoyed the neighbors. The offending officer is now in a lunatic asylum.

There was a fight not long ago in one of the London courts between a barrel orgsn and a piano, an injunction being claimed to restrain a gentleman from keeping an organ. It seemed that the offender was annoyed by his next door neighbor's piano, and to avenge himseif he obtained a barrel organ, which he played at all times of the day. The question of the “liberty of the subject,” of course, came up, but the court de- cided that, if an Englishman’s house is his castle, it is not a fit place for a bar- re! organ that never stops, and the organ received strict instructions to remain silent, on the ground that the owner evi- dently intended to create a nuisance.

‘The market value of a cough was the question submitted to the Birmingham county court. A barrister sned a rail- way company for £50 for discomfort suffered by araoking being allowed in a waiting room ata station and in non- smoking carriages. The smoking aggra- vated the barvister’s cough, and he was awarded £10.

A queer point arose in the revision court at Nottingham. While the court was sitting a young collier named A)l- cock killed his wife in the most delib- erate manner and afterward confessed his crime. An application was made that Allcock’s name should be struck off the register. ‘‘Why?’’ queried the barrister, receiving the answer, ‘‘Be- cause he is a murderer.’’ ‘‘That re- ni.ins to be proved,’’ said the barrister, and the name remained on the roll.

The finding of lost property has often given rise to curious points of law. A workman who found a valuable ring in a London theater claimed the return of the ring from the proprietors, who had tuken possession of it. The court, how- ever, rejected his claim, as the ring had been picked up while the man was fal- filling his duties as aservant. At first eight this decision appears to be incon- sistent with that arrived at some years ago in a case in which a chimney swoep sucd a jeweler for a precious stone. The ewerp bad found a brooch on his rounds, which he took to the jeweler, who ex- tracted # precious stone and substituted a worthless imitation. On this being discovered, the jeweler replied to the sweep'’s demand for the return of his stone that the stone did not belong to the sweep, as he had found it, the infer- ence being that he could, therefore, steal it with impunity. The court, how- ever, held otherwise, and the sweep re- covered his jewel.

Eastern superstitition gave rise toa singular argument in a Chinese court not long ago. A Chinaman had been sent to prison, and, according to cus- tom, the authorities proceeded tocut off Lis pigtail, whereupon the prisoner ap- plied for an injunction on the ground that without bis pigtail he could not en- ter the kingdom of heaven. After mach legal quarreling the court decided that there is no religion in prison, and that the prisoner must share the fate of bis comrades, whatever the result in the world to come.—London Tit-Bits,

The Episode Closed.

He is a young lawyer, and she lived in the west end. They were to have been married in a month. The other day they fell to quarreling over the telephone. She was petulant. He wasangry. Final- ly she called him a b-b-brute and said that he could consider the engagement off.

“All right,’’ said he, and then he “rang off,’’ as they say in telephone parlance.

And she—well, she returned the ring. —Albany Journai.

Miss Phebe Hood is an Indian maiden, the daughter of a Pawnee chief, and has become a trained nurse. Sc has Miss Lily Wind of Canada, whe is of the Ottawa tribe, and Miss Kate Greenod of the Wyandottes. These young Indian girls took the course in Philadelphia aud are considered good nurses.

Captain C. C. Blood of Tennessee, who acted for a year as drillmaster for the raw insurgent troops under Gomez, bas returned home.

De Foe is said to have written ‘‘Rob- inson Crusoe’’ in six months. He wrote rapidly, as may be judged from the im- mense quantity of his political writings.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

Tue Tra or DEATH

* It begins at the Throat and ends at the Grave * How many a human life is unneces- sarily sacrificed: w %

There are many remedies on the market for the care of consumption, but consumption, once it reaches a certain stage, cannot be cured, In professing, therefore, to do what is impossible, these remedies prove themselves to be simply hum dugs.

Consumption is a disease which destroys the tissue of the lungs. Once gone, no medicine can replace that tissue. Good medicine may arrest the clisease even after one lung is wholly gone, as long as the other remains sound. Once both are attacked, however, the victim is doomed,

Just why people should risk their lives to this dread disease and go to great expense afterwards to check it, itis hard to conceive. It is much easier prevented than cured, ‘Throat troubles and severe colds are its usual forerunners, A 25-cent bottle of Dr. Chase’s Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine will drive these away, It is, without doubt, the best medicine for the purpose to be had anywhere.
