The oddest damage suit on record was
brought up at Chicago an Wednesday of
last week by Joseph Wood. On the night
of Cot. 20th last ho was struck and bad-
ly injured by a human head severed from
a woman's body by a railroad brain at
Hollnesburg Junction. Wood was stand-
ing on the station platform when the

the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for
damages, holding that it was negligent
in haying no safety gates at the crossing.
While two wedding processions were
fighting for the road at one of the gates
of Hankow the chairs holding the brides
got mixed, and each lady was taken to
the wroug bridegroom. The gentlemen,
never having seen their wives before, Re-
cording to the Chinese custom, knew no
mistake. When, the next morning, the
mothers of the two brides went to present
the usual hair oil to their daughters, each
found a stranger installed in her plane.
Neither mother, moreover, had any means
of finding out where her daughter had
gone. After a very difficult search of
the city the brides were both found, and
then the idea of making the best of
things was bloated by the fast that sue
of the brides who was riob, and intended
for a rioh husband, bad fallen into the
hands of a very poor man. The problem
remains unsolved.
It has been computed that about 36,-
000,008 babies are born into the world
each year. The rate of production is,
therefore, about seventy per minute or
more than one for every beat of the
olook. With the one a -second aalaula-
tion every reader is familiar, but it is
not everyone who stops to calculate what
this means when it comes to a year's
supply. It will therefore probably
startle s good many persons to find on
the authority of a well known statistician
that oonld the infants of a year be ranged
in a line in cradles, the cradles would
extend around the globe. The same
writer Tooke at it in a more picturesque
light. He imagines the babies being
carried past a given point in their
mother's arms, one by one,.aod the pro-
cession being kept up night and day an.
til the last hour in the twelfth month
had passed by. A enfiioiently liberal rate
is allowed, but even at going past at
twenty a minute, 1,200 an hour, during
the entire year, the reviewer at his post
would only have "seen the sixth part of
the infantile host. In other words the
babe that had to be carried when the
tramp began would be able to walk when
a mere fraction of bis comrades had
reached the reviewer's poet, and when
the year's supply of babes was drawing
to a close there would be a rear guard,
not of infants, but of romping boys and
girls.

Wall Paper

Not simply hide bare walls. As discordant strains of music are to
the ear, so is the eye tortured byout-of-harmony paper on the walls.

beauty you should consider many things in purchasing papers -the
location, light and woodwork of the room, etc.
Our stook includes something especially adapted to every room
--more colors and patterns than any other wall paper store in
the town. Our Good Papers cost you no more than the poor ones
others sell.
Call and see our thousand -and -one styles. Persons thoroughly
versed in Wall Paper will wait upon you andd aid you in making
selections.
We hang paper in a first-class manner and are prepared to ex-
ecute the best kind of decorations.
