In a case involving the management uf an English insane asylum several former inmates were called as wit nesses, and tlie king's counsel who called them remarked that they were as sane ns any one in the court. The Judge on the bench showed no en thusiasm at the announcement. Sometimes buried landscapes exist in countries now densely Inhabited. Recent Investigation lias shown that one lies beneath the reg! in in England known as Charnwood forest. The rocky projections seen there are the peaks ami i aivies of a buried mountain chain belonging to the old red sand stone period.

A dog eleven years old, fat, intelll gent and affectionate, was seized for the first time with convulsions, with out loss of consciousness, when sharp ly ieprimanded by his muster.

The projected electric railway be tween Berlin and Hamburg would cost 70.000,000 marks single track, and 150,000,000 marks double track. Ths distance is to be covered in an hour and fifty five minutes. It is estimated that 650,000 passengers a year could be counted on, and a single track road would pay expenses If there were on ly 520.01M). For a double track 850,000 would be required.

Fields was making a collection of the writings of De Qulncey. The essays were widely scuttered in various periodicals and were often hard to Identify. Mr. Fields knew Rufus Choate as a devot ed student of De Qulncey and wrote him one dn>* asking his opinion as to a certain article. Was It by De Quin icy or not? Mr. Choate replied that it certainly was. There could be no mistaking the style of the piece. A few weeks later Mr. Choate received, through Mr. Fields, a letter from De Qulncey deny ing absolutely and somewhat Indig nnntly the authorship of the article. But Choate was not of the stuff to yield his opinion for a trifle like that He wrote to Mr. Fields: "I still believe that De Qulncey wrote the essay. De Qulncey to the contrary notwithstanding." Doubtless Mr. Fields read the note with n smiling comment, "That's Just like Choate's confidence iu Ills own GIBI.’S SUSVBNDBB COSTCMK. Judgment!" Months elapsed.

Brown the Color For Autumn* Brown will be the great autumn col or, and all sorts of freakish shades will be in vogue. Chocolate brown will be used for street wear, and the golden brown Is another favorite. Brown with a yellow cast Is a brand new shade. Many of the newest brown cos tumes demand boots and stockings to match and a hat of corresponding hue. The summer brown suits for men were popular. Brown Is not the best color to buy for one who has not many clothes. It Is a shade of which one tires quickly, and it suits the fewest women. For Foil Wear.
