THE JUDGE'S TEOTIT.
Why He Fod It to the Charcoal
Burner's Dausrhtesv' v
"Scholaatiqnol" :
"M. SourdaU". I " ' ? -
"Take the utmost pnlna ln eookiaa
the trout bIi or t boil, white wine,
parsley, thyme, laurel, oil and onions
In full streuffth." , v :
After having uttered these last In
junctton ( hts coot, Judge Soordat
crossed the chief street of Maryville
. with alert steps and gained the palais -de
justice, Which was situated back -of
the Sous prefecture. Judge Sourdat "
was about firty-flvo years of age;
-very active, notwithstanding a ten
dency to - stoutness; square of
shoulders, short in stature, with a
squeaking- voioe and a round, close
shaven head; eye gray, clear and
hard under bushy eyebrows; a mouth
closely shut, with thin' and irritable
lips; browned - cheeks, surrounded
with whiskers badly trimmed; in fact,
one of those mastiff faces, of which
one says: "lie can't be good every
day.' And surely tyi was not very
kind, and he boasted of it. A despot,
he used all of his little realm in the
palais. Hard as stone toward the
guilty, rough with the witnesses, Ag
gressive wih the advocates, he was a
veritable furnace who fanned himself
constantly into a glow. lie was feared
like the fire, and he was loved very .
little. 1
However, this man of iron had two :
vulnerable sides. Firstly, he responded t
to the pastoral name of Hemorin,
which exposed him to ridicule, and
secondly, he W3S a gourmand, and
gave points to lirillajb Savarln. His
gastronomy, which was profoundhad
become a mania.
It was he who imagined that to
plunge shellfish into boiling water be
fore cooking them in their ordinary j
dressing gave them a richness and vel- '
vety savor particularly exquisite. On '
the day when he taught that latest re- ,
fiuement to the priest of St. Victor the 1
latter could not help blushing, and ;
raising his puffy hands to heaven he
cried: "Too much! This is too much.
Judge-SourHat! Assuredly it is per
mitted to taste with discretion the
good things which divine wisdom lias
1 provided, but such sensuality as this
borders upon mortal sin, and you will
have to render account for it to the
good God.
To the Bcruples of the excellent
priest the judge responded with a mis
anthropic laugh. It was one of his
malign joys to expose his neighbors to
temptation, and this very morning the
priest was to breakfast with him, the
recorder being the only other guest.
.Ju'lge Sourdat had received the even
ing before a two-pound f-almon trout
- taken from the beautiful clear water
of the rocky Seinoia. It was his fa
vorite fish, and had fully occupied the
first hours of his morning. He had
demonstrated to the coolc the superior
ity of a quick' boil to the slow cook
ing in Geneva or Holland sauciof the
books. The trout must be served cold
and in the seasoning in which it was
cooked. , '
- This 'was with him a principle as
well as a dogma, as indispensable as
an article oi the penal code. He Con
tinued to repeat it to himself after
having clothed himself in his robe and
taken his seat, though he was turning
over the leaves of a document bearing
upon an important case now pending.
This was a criminal affair, the dra
matic details of which contrasted
singularly wilh,the epicurian specula
tions whicla persisted in haunting the
cranium of Judge Souruat .
: The case was thus: During the pre
vious weet at sunrise there had been
found, in the thicket of a forest the
body of a gamekeeper, who had evi
dently been assassinated and then con'
eealed among the brambles of a ditch.
It was supposed that the crime, had
been committed by some strolling
poacher, but up to the present time
there had been elicited no precise evi
dence and the witnesses examined had
only made the'mystery deeper.
The murder had taken place near the
frontier, where charcoal burners were
at work. The suspicions of the Judge
had,, therefore, been directed toward
them. The depositions thus far had
revealed that on the night of( the mur
der these people had been absent from
their shanty and the furnaces Tiad re
mained in the care of ft young daugh
ter of the charcoal burner.
Toward ten o'clock the door of his
cabinet opened, framing th cocked
hat and yellow shoulder belt of the
constable.
"Eh! well?" grunted the Judge.
"Eh! well. Judge, I cannot find the
girl, bhe has disappeared. The char
coal burners pretend utter ignorance."
The Judge consulted hia watch. The
business was at a standatill; the ease
eoulJ not be called, and he wished to
give a glance of oversight to the mat
ters of the dining-room before the ar
rival of hia gueaU. lie disrobed him
self and hurried home. , -
The pleaeant dining-room, bright
ened by the Jane sunshine, presented
s moat attractive aspect, with ita
white woodwork, ita gray curtains, ita
high store of blue faience with its
marble top, and ita round table cov
ered with a dazzling white linen cloth,
upon which were placed three covers
artistically trimmed.
' This spectacle aoftened the ill-humor
of the Judge, and. he wait calming lit
tle by little, while laying upon the sil
ver salver a dusty bottle of old croton,
when the hall door opened violently,
and ha beard in Ibe veatibnle a girl's
voice, which eriedi "I tell you I w lab to
apeak to the judge. lis expects roe."
"What doea this racket meant"
growled the Judge, scowling. "
-It la that little charcoal burner."
responded the recorder, Toochboent
"She arrived at the palaia Just after
you left, and she baa followed ma as
far as here. In a state of wild excitc
meatrla order that yea may take her
deposition."
"Eh!" groaned the Judge. 'Ton are
In a great harry, my girl, after kees
tnjr waiting three daya. Why did
fom sot come sooner?" -
"I had my reasons," she said, casting
hungry eyes upon the table.
"We can better appreciate yonr rea
sons later," replied the judge, iurious
at the interruption. "Meauwhilerwe
can listen ;to yout-report"
lie drew out his watch. It was 10:45.
"Yes, we have time, Touchbocuf. You
will find at your side all that is neces
sary for writing. Ye will . question
her." ; " ' v" . ,
The notary seated himself at the
writing table with his paper and ink
stand and the pen behind his ear,
. waiting. The Judge, sitting squarely
. in a cane-seated armchair, fixed his
clear, hard eyea upon the girl, who
remained standing near the stove.
- "Your namo?" he demanded.
"Meline KacaeL"
Your age and your residence?" ...
"Sixteen years. I live with my fa
ther, who burns charcoal at the clear
ing of Onze-Fontaine."
"You swear to tell all the truth?"
"I came only for that."
"Eaise your right hand.' You were
near yonr home on the night when the
guard Sourrot was murdered. Relate
all that you know."
"That is what I know: Our folks
had act out to go with the charcoal to
Ktenay. J watched near the furnaco.,
Toward two o'clock, at a moment
when the moon was hidden, Manchin,
who is a woodcutter of Ire, passed be
fore our lodge. 'See me! Am I not
watehing at an early hour?" I cried.
'How goes all at your hOine? All
well?"
"'No,' he answered. 'The mother
- has a fever and the children tare al
most dying with hunger. There is
not a mouthful of bread in the house,
and I am trying to kill a rabbit to sell
in Maryville.' That is on the other
side of Onze-Fontaine. I lost sight
of him then, but at daybreak I heard
the report of a gun, and 1 was just
clearing the ashes to shield the char
coal. Then, .immediately after, two
men came running toward our lodge.
They were disputing. 'Scoundrel!'
cried the guard. 'I arrest you.'
l 'Sourrot!' cried the other, 'I pray
you let me have the rabbit, for they
are dying of hunger at my home.'
" 'Go to the devil!' said the guard.
Then they fell upon each other. I
could hoar their hard blows plainly.
Suddenly the guard cried: 'OhI' and
then he fell heavily.
"I had hidden behind our lodge, ter
ribly frightened, and Manchin ran
away into the great forost, and from
that time to this ho has not been seen,
lie is in Belgium, for sure. That is
all."
"Hum!" growled the judge. "Why
did you hot come to tall this aa soon as
you received the suinmonK?", ; '
"It was none of tny business and I
did not wish to speuk against Mau
dlin." "I see; bat you seem to have changod
your mind this morning. How is
that?"
"it is because I have heard that they
accused Gucstin."
"And who is this Guestin?"
The girl reddened and ' answered:
"He is our neighbor charcoal burner,
aud he would not harm a fly. Do you
not .see," bIio continued, "that the.
thought of fastening on him the guilt
of another aroused me? I put these
great boots uu, and I have run all the
way through the woods to tell you
this. Oh, how I have run! I did not
feel tired. I would have run till to
morrow, if it had been necessary, be
cause it is as true as the blue Heavens
that our Guestin is entirely innocent,
gentlemen."
"Iiallol" cried he, seeing her sudden
ly grow pale and stagger. "What's
the matter?"
"My head swims, I cannot see."
' She changed color, and her temples
grew moist.
The judge, alarmed, poured out a
glass of wine and said: "Drink this
quickly!" He was wholly absorbed aud
very much moved before this girl who
was threatened with illness. He dared
not call Scholastique, for fear of dis
turbing his cooking. He looked help
lessly toward the clerk, who was gnaw
ing his penholder.
"It ia, a swoon," observed the lat
ter, "Perhaps she needs something
to eat" '
"Are yon hungry?"' demanded the
judge. ' - r ' . ..
bhe made a sign of assent.
"Excuse me," she said . In a feeble
voice, "but I have had nothing to eat
since yesterday. It Is that which
makes me dizzy." - v
"The deuce!" be cried at last hero
ically. 1 Violently he drew toward him
the platter 00 which lay the trout.
After separating a large piece, which
he put on the table before her, he made
the charcoal burner ait down.
- "Eat!" said he, imperiously.
He had no need to repeat hia com
mand. She ate rapidly," voraciously.
In another minute the plate was empty,
and Judge Sourdat heroically filled it
anew. . - :

When a storm came up on an afterT
noon receutly the pilot boat Flor
ence was moored a quarter of a mile
from lioston light. The keepers of
the boat put on their oil clothing,
sou westers and rubber boots and
Mr. Folder, who is about twenty-flve
years old, stood on deck observing
the storm, his loft hand clasping the
back braoc, a wire cord half an inch
ia diameter. There had been only
two flashes and ' no one aboard

Then carne a third, and Mr. Fol

Thecurreat evidently selected the

above tho main topmast, and tore it
into small pieces after it had ripped
the fjag off. Then the electricity
came down the backstay into Foi

offered resistence, and so part of the
energy branched off in another di
rection. As it was, his left side
caught the force of the charge.
Luckily three women wore aboard,
comprising a summer pleasure party,
and one of .them proved an expect in
this emergency case.
After an hour of rubbing and

It was not until the uext night that

NORTHMEN AND VINELAND.
Proofs of an An-icnt Norse Colony
Near Coston.
The late Frof. Ilorsford published
several books in which he under
took to Ox the spot on which the
Northmen landed, says the Phila
dolphia Ledger, and identified their
Vincland with a locality on the
Charles river, near Boston. His
daughter, Miss Cornelia Horsford,
has followed in her father's foot
steps, and has recently published,
through Damrell & Upliam Boston,
her proofs of the site of Lelp's house
in Vineland, and her results of the
opening of the graves of the North
men on the banks of the Charles
river, near the city of Norumbcga,
where her father proved to his owo
satif action and to hers that North
men founded a colony. " Miss Hors
ford gives tho steps of the; process
of reasoning by which she reaches

It is an example of filial piety that

ELECTRICITY IN MEDICINE, i
aaaBBBBiBBiaBi 1
The Us and Abuse of the Mys
N terious Fluid.
The fact that a society of physi
cians has just met ia New York to
peutics is a little straw which shows.
says the Boston Advertiser, which
way the wind Is blowing among
some practitioners. There Is no
doubt that the discovery of elec
tricity increased the number of
forces that may be used id the art
Of healing; and although electricity
as a medicine may be abused as well
as used, it is an unquestionable fact
that the electric fluid acts beneficial
ly ia a number of diseases. It can
hardly be said to be a specific for
any disease, as its action is physical
rather than chemical; but its use is
now sanctioned by all the regular
medical associations and there are
few Boston hospitals in which the
battery is not used, under the direc
tion of a competent physician.
, As electricity itself is even yet a
mystery to science, so far as its real
character is concerned, it is perhaps
fitting that the use of electricity in
nervous affections, the most mys
terious of modern diseases, should
have increased so notably in recent
years. An indiscriminate use of the
electric fluid is, of course, worse
than no recourse whatever to such a
source; but a proper application of
the current acts as a decided stimu
ulant to weak nerves and the
effect of such a treatment, continued
over any satisfactory length of time,
is usually beneficial.
The use of electricity also is not
confined to curative work, but Is
seen in pathology also. The electric
current catches the sound of respi
ration and reproduces it by means
of a telephone or phonograph. A
small electric light is now employed
in determining physical conditions
which cannot be discerned by the
unaided eye or even by other meth
ods of exploration. As time goes
on, it is probable that electrical
science will make further and per
haps more notable achievements in
the interest of medical and surgical
advancement.
Tho Newspaper Necessary.
The libraries are permanent store
houses of knowledge in all its
branches of literary wealth in all
its forms. Yet to the library there
is a certain chronological limita'tion,
comparatively remote or compara
tively recent, as the case may be,
and the student of tho times will not
infrequently find himself at a loss
for information relative to the
world of progress which has not yet
been entered upofr the librarian's
catalogue. Only the well conducted
newspaper, with its epitome of
events and opinions and all that is
latest and" best inhuman endeavor,
in scientific discovery, in artistic and
musical composition, in every de
partment of intellectual activity, In
the affairs of nations, In philosophy
and reform, will supply the want and
enable him to keep full pace with
what is going on in the world about
him. It bridges the distance between
the past and the present, the lapse
that otherwise exists between what
has happened or has been written
and what is now happening or being
written, between yesterday ond to
day, as it were, so there is no break
in the continuity of the student's
inquiry. Washington Post.

" Lincoln's View of the Moon.
From 18C2 to 1866 Hail worked on
the nine-and-a-half-lnch equatorial
at the Naval observatory under Mr.
James Ferguson, making observa
tions and reducing his work. One
night while he was working alone In
the dome, the trap-door by which It
was entered from below opened and
a tan, thin ngurc, crowned by a
stove-pipe hat, arose in the dark
ness. It turned out to be President
Lincoln. He had come up from the
white bouse with Secretary Stanton.
He wanted to take a look at the
heavens through the telescope.
Prof, nail showed htm the various
objects of interest, ' and finally
turned the telescope on the half-full
moon. The president looked at it a
little while and went away. A few
nights later the trap-door opened
again, and the same figure appeared.
He told Prof. Hall that after leaving
the observatory be had looked at the
moon, and it .as wrong side up as
he had seen it through the telescope.
He was puzzled and wanted to know
the cause, so ho bad walked up from
the white house alone. Prof. Hall
explained to him how the lens of a
telescope gives an inverted image,
and President Lincoln went away
satisfied. Popular Science Monthly.
To Identify the Tramp-.
A plan for distinguishing between
genuine seeker for work who go on
the road through necessity, and the
tramp by trade, has been devised in
England. I ts object is to eoable po
lice officers and poor law-administrators
to identify each class, that
the unfortunate workman may be
aided io bis search for work, and the
tramp be compelled to find it -for a
time whether be will or no. It ia
proposed to give workingmen card
upon which tbeir last employer shall
indorse a certificate of character,
and on which shall be printed in
structions where to go in every
town and city in the United King
dom for shelter and food. The po
session of such a card is to give the
tramping workman a right to this
aid, while the tramp who doe not
hav it is to be set at work hi the
workhouse or for public benefit some
where. Last But Net Least.
Chrysao tbemums, it la said, live
longer than any other flower after
being eat. Yes, sod another of
tbeir titles to consideration ia that
they bloom out of door later in the
season than any other flower. They
require louche of frost, if sot an
actual powdering of snow to deepen
the vivMnes of their varied color,
