Some weeks ago an abbe left a French village to take up the Incum bency of another, and the mayor and his late flock lit a bonfire iri the road to speed their departing parson, mak ing merry at his expense and showing untnlstnkably the Joy they felt at see ing his back. "Naturally the abbe thought himself Insulted and brought an action for damages, but as he could not show any the cfise was dismissed. A very stout man recently bought a third-class ticket at a roadside station In England, and found that he could not get into a third-class compartment. So he went Into a first, the doors of which ore wider, refusing to pay the excess. He was sued for the balance and had to pay both that and the coats, the court holding that this could not bo his first offense, and, knowing that lie could not squeeze through the door of a third, he ought to have booked first without more ado. After telling a barber to trim his heard, a farmer fell asleep In the chair. He was awaTfcened by (the application of a wet towel to his face, and, looking In I he glass, was not sure whether the barber had awakened him or some oth or fellow.

He sued the barber for $1,000 and got $100. , A certain inhabitant of Switzerland had a most splendid thirst, which he plied dally with stimulants. His sister secretly put a drink cure Into his po tations, Which had the magical effect r>f curing him of his craving, and ren dering drink obnoxious. So angry was he when he learned the truth that he ?med his sister fo* $5,000 for the loss of his thirst ! Disappointed Horse. That a horse, in spite of his "horse sense." cnu bo pitifully deceived by appearances was demonstrated in a telling manner. A young woman was waiting patiently for a car going east, when a horse and wagon ownfcd by a huckster stopped almost before her. The horse, a friendly looking animal, gradually edged up to the curb near the young woman, who smiled gra ciously ami patted him on the nose. As the car approached- she walked slowly toward the track and was wait ing for the car door to open when the friendly animal slipped up behind her, and with a sudden plunge grasped the bunch of green leaves from her new hat. After a brief tussle with hat pins and yellow curls, the horse managed to wrest the hat from the young wom an and inarched off chewing what he evidently thought a meal of fine green. The horse chewed the milliner's paint ed leaves, and finding them not to his taste dropped the hat, which was re turned to its owner. ? Milwaukee Jour nal. Real Meaning of "Maru." The word "Maru," attached to the name of every Japanese merchant ship and commonly accepted as meaning "ship," has no especial meaning, ac cording to Captain Takeshima of the Japanese steamship Hudson Maru, re cently captured and released by a Ger man raider in the South Atlantic. Cap tain Takeshima said that the word is the survival of a Japanese ciiiftom cen turies old. He explained the origin as foilowH : "There are two opinions as to how the custom originated. One' of the stories, which I believe is the correct one, is that in ancient times the Japanese attached 'maru' to the name of anything precious or highly prized, as a sword or a baby. It was first applied to a ship's name about 2^ 000 years ago, when the Empress Jingo sent an expedition to Korea. She add ed the word to the name of the ship that transported the troops to Korea. Ever since then 'Maru' has been part of the name of every steamship or tail ing vessel. It Is never used with fhe name of a warship." Babies Healthier Nowadays. The death rate among babies in the larger American cities has been re duced 11 per cent since 1910, accord ing to the infunt mortality survey Just completed by the New York milk com mittee. This reduction has been made among cities of 100,000 population pnd over. The smaller cities have not done so well. The reduction in cities between 00,000 and 100,000 population is only ft per cent, while those under 50,000 show an increase of 5 per cent. ?he general redaction is 9 per cent. The aarvey covers 150 of the largest cities In tht United States since 1906. The narked decrease in Infant deaths did not begin until 1910, when organised infant welfare work became general.
