A WICKED PRACTICE.

OUTRAGEOUS, STORY OF A LIVE COBRA.

· DOG SAVES CHILD'S LIFE.

Imagining that the jar might contain something of value the fisherman, declined to open it in the presence of the small crowd which

had gathered, on the beach, but, instead, took it to his home.

Here the jar was opened with the fisherman's wife and child as interested spectators and out crept a large cobra, hissing viciously and extending its hood.

WOOING BY SHOOTING.

VICTIM'S PLEA FOR LOVER'S ACQUITTAL.

A "cave man's wooing" of the kind which has so often furnish- ed material for novelists and scenario writers was investigated by the "Paris Correctional Tri- bunal," when Charles Deville appeared to answer a charge of attempted murder.

Some time ago Deville, who had centred his affections on Mile. Kerschmeyer, but had met only with rebuffs, resolved to conquer her heart by such means as men used before they knew the meaning of romance. One night he burst open the door of her room and, covering her with A revolver, said "Unless you will marry me or live with me I am going to kill you." When she replied that he dared not, he fired a shot into the floor by way of warning. Instead of yielding to this threat, the woman simply scolded her too impetuous admir er, who then tired on her, inflict ing two serious wounds, which caused her to be detained in hospital for some months.

When Deville appeared before his judges Mile. Kerschmeyer was called as a witness against him, but she pleaded for his acquittal. "He is not a bad fellow," she said, "I am living with him now, and shall marry him very acon." Tho romance so curiously begun is not to be interrupted, for in sentené- ing Deville to four months' im- prisonment the Court gave him the benefit of the First Offenders' Act, which meant that he was Immediately released
