It in the case of Hank of Ka- venewood, and others, against John--son, and other'. It was decided Febru ary 9th. 1S06. The rnurt thai heard It wu cmnpoBOii of judges rnunam, Purneli and Keller, and the derision was by Judge Purneli. After stating the facts, the opinion of the court Is as follows: We cannot ennciu In the decision of the District Court that a referee "acting In his character a referee or us special commission-! has the right to exclude evidence which he deems inadinissl Die." For this holdim; in It. R., is cited and trie BVBIUC tllf: Ilia,.. uui ,rt..., trary. Ken if the i-ontlli tiHK decisions , are considered th- general orders j assed by the Supreme Cmitt are on- i trolling, they hae (be force of the stat ute, are made pursuant to expiess authority in the statute. The same question was raised in ic Stgrgeon H Am. H. I!.. Cinult Court of Appeals, Second rircuit. In which the court says: "Per Curiam: Under tiencral Order No. 2- (IS Sii. Ct. VII). the duty of the referee Is to receive the , idence which Is offered, to note objection anil to recurd the' evidence, and. If either party persists In offering Incompetent (,r Irrelevant matter In the evidence, the other parly has a remedy because the- rule pro vides that the c.iuit sIihII have pnwer to deal with the costs of Incompetent, immaterial or irrelevant depositions, as parts of them, as may be just.' The equity practice Is t be followed by re feree. Th- order directs him to pro ceed as referee. The referee must lake all the evidence and note objections." Rl'l-i; IN THK 41 ATTKR. , And the laltcr rlaunc of general or-; der XII provides: i "The referee shall note- upon the de position of any question objected to,' with his decision thereon, and the: court shall have jxnver to deal with the cost of Incompetent, Immaterial or 1 Irrelavant deposit it ions, or parts oft them a may be Just." j No amount of arKtimeut c ould make i the matter plainer, any one who will can understand.

New Tork, March 't. Most wondei ful of all. the marketa in the world are those of the metropolis. People who vlfllt New York rarely go to see them. That 1 a great mistake. No where else I to be seen such a- bewil dering variety, auch a complete aaftort ment, not. only of native product, but also of dellcacien culled from the gar dens In the four corners of the world and fished out of the seven sews. Here are veritable ranges of moun tain of smoked and fresh killed meat, products of nearby pastures and the distant prairie, of the lowland of the Houth and of the game farm of France. Jlere are parsley from Ber munda. green pepper found fn Java, turtle from the tropical Isle of tut Caribbean, nut gathered In the orient salad greens raised in California, leeks garnered In the metropolitan annex known as Leong Island, lemons plucked In Sicilian groves, Florida pineapples, grapefruit just In from Jamaica, clus ters of prime grapes nourished In the hothouses of England and Belgium, lettuce and artichokes from the plan-i ta lions of Algerian Moor. Over there sea food 1 bought and I sold by the ton -whltefVah, bluefish, i moeiiillsh, red snapper, halibut, smelt, i haddock: In short, every edible Inhabl : tant of ocean and river, brook and lake. There arc; ivittllng heaps of live i crabs and lobsters, near tanks where; i imported c:le are swimming about; j while monster green turtles, weighing, from 100 to 400 pounds each, snort and groan ns If they knew that within the next twenty-four hours some of would be in the soup. This natural history exposition,' ns It i ti'tlght be railed-'-this most reniar.k- I able- of the world's markets is typical I ; of the changes that have come over j the metropolis In the last ten or fifteen ; yeara. In former days people were I content for the most part to take, linings as they came along, season by: : season: but nowadays there Is no wait ling for seasons. The big hotels and ilij fashionable; restaurants that ac commodate not only New Yorkers but 'the throngs of visitors always surging up and clown the city, have created a eeinstant demand for almost every known article of food: and hence this inurvelously complete and abundant supply. It Is no exaggeration to say that nearly every dish known to the civilized world Is served on New York table s. The result is that the markets of New York are a miniature represen tation of all the markets of the world. Hardly anything Is "out of season" In the metropolis. Milk-feed "spring" lambH are supplied to Ihe new Hotel Astor in mid-winter from hothouses In .New Jersey. In th- days when the apple crop f the Kawt was sufficient foe local needs the best apples weifl gt Vc own In orchards In western New rk, but to-day, as the result of an asmg demand, the apple supply Is transported from orchads scattered tip ami down Ihe whole leiutth of the continent, and of nil the apples thusj e ill' i te el tliotfi" from Oregon lire the bi-si It Is the sam - with cilery.

Irrigated lands ri-i l ilmed from the desert territory of Arizona. Popular demand, loo, has been responsible for ihe production of 1 1 t pineapples, gmwn In Florida, ami n.itlv - tlgsi, the product of rlc-li, i'eX.IM lleldH. The-ie Is an interesting little story In hind Ihe fad that gradually the American labli: Is being supplied by native idoelucis; that not only every i-ssliy but also every delicacy Is ki idually bee itinaug Judlgeuous; and ih it w lien as once when a thing whs mil of season It was out of the mai k I to-day. particularly In New York, wli.-ie last s are so cosmopolitan and puiws are ho fat, practically every thing Is In season all ihe year round. Uirgeiy responsible for this remarkable 1 1 a information or development are th great hotels that have sprung up In; the city within the last ten or fifteen ears. The same enterprise that ha inoduivd the pesif garden cafe, which ,, m..l, , t,.n v.i. ,,., ,., ... ,,., . lhA summer time, and that has prod need the i elehruted dining room like the In- ! dliin riMim anO the Orangerle in the ivew II etel Aslor. has also to a liugol extent been respunslhle for Iho almcist j tierpetucil presence In city nmrkms of ! ! the elelkiicles that In the old days! c hanged from s-nson to Measoti.

Thiit he buy in larg quanti ties Is shown hy the fact that be often spends $1,000 in a lngle trip. He la down town at four o'clock every morn ing, and befre he ha finished his daybreak task he. ha skimmed the market of thler choicest offerings. The hotel steward of the present time te a member of n skilled profession. He must b a man of wide experience and of Judgment that is both quick and sound; and his power of close calcula tion must be developed to the nth de gree, He must know when, what and bow much tt buy. Above a UY he must know his market won.- He mUt pos ses profound knowledge of what the change of aeasun brlugs yi the eWorld over, and, 'at the ame -time, he .must Keep m close touen wtin tne jacest taste of the epicureans to whom his hotel catsra. iH must never ' neglect obtaining things for which the guest at especially , likely to call," and, be must never either overstock his larder or allow It to, run short In the case ot tM Hotel Astor ha is one of the shrewdest, and . piost , experienced of marketers who knows the way of the TOarket specialists as well as he knows the tastes oi the hotel guest,, and who, though b may spend a small fortune in a few hours, wastes not even a nickel. He is paid a handsome sal ary for hia mastery of the art of mar keting, for his knowledge of the Ins and outs of the wonderful New York markets and for his ability to maintain the high reputation of his hotel among connoisseurs, . . In the course of a few hours this steward may choose and buy $250 worth of fruits and vegetables, barrel upon barrel and crate upon crate, all to af ford the guests of the hotel an abun dance and variety of desserts such as In the days of yore were not found even on royal tables. He spends about $500 a day at the fish markets order ing, say 20,000 oysters, 1,000 pounds of lobster, and crab by the hundred. Once. a month or two at these markets be buyr a load Of turtles an actual wagon-load, 1,200 or 1,500 pounds of them and nothing but the choicest. These are kept at the hotel until wanted. Then come a visit to Wash ington Market, the centn? of the world of ribs and loins, where, after select ing his supply of turkeys and pheas ant, pquabs and email, grouse and geese, the Astor expert takes his choice of such rarities as Rouen ducks and Hoerse chickens special offering from over the sea intended to satisfy the ap petites of those who, had they lived in the days of ancient Rome, would have looked In vain for these things except perhaps In the house of Lucul-I I us. There Is one thing In connection vtith . j themlthe markets'that the ordinary visitor, will be likely to miss, and that Is the. "Astor box," which Is in one of the ble. beef stores. In this box 2,500 pounds of beef ai kept all the time at a certain, j temperature. The meat Is stored Wihfn i freshly killed and th"re in the box it remains until it Is tenderness Itself. I , It Is removed BOO pounds at a time to j ! the hotel refrigerator, there cut up as; ! occasion demands to furnish savory i ! dishes that will be served In cafe, grill 1 room or dining room. Add to these items a hundred dollars I worth of hams end other smoked meat, the 300 dosen of eggs required every j ; day at the hotel, the S00 quarts of milk and 200 quarts of cr?am. the 6,(Xo pounds of coffee and 200 pounds of tea j bought once a month, not t mention j spices and condiments of all descrlp-1 Hon, and the ease with which the As- I tor steward spends a thousand dollars i In a morning Is apparent. I Whoever would ?e the markets of: New York at their best, when the stock Is full and f re sli, should accompany i some one like this well-known stew-; ard, who goes bis rounds before the big city has rubld the sleep out of Its eye s , and before the cream Is off the top.

The best way to get at the truth of most argument Is to spilt them In half. Chronic pessimists and blind opti mists should adjust their differences bv admitting that neither extreme is I sensible. It's astonishing how little learn ; lng and how much common sense It I requires for a person to get along In this world A broken down constitution, like a broken down piece of machinery.

Love Is like the toothache It la hard to get sympathy In either case.

If our modern" novelist gave their works less pretentious titles we would perhaps not be so badly disappointed when we attempted to read between the covers.
