He Studied the Case In AU IU Bearing Before Giving a Decision. A conscientious judge adorned the Nevada bench. In bis court a suit involving the title to some minins ground was pending between two companies. In another part of the district the judge had some claims which were looked upon as mere "wildcat" He had for a year been trying vainly to raise money to open his claims. He had incorporated with 40,000 shares, and held them at one dollar each, with the under standing that 20 per cent. of. the money received for stock should be sot aside as a working capital. But nobody would buy. One night quite late cue judge heard a soft knock on his chamber door. It was the presi dent of the company that was plain tiff in the mining suit. "I was looking at your claims over on the east side, judge," he said,' "and I believe they are good. I would like some of the stock." - Tho judge cheerfully sold him $10, 000 worth. "I suppose," suggested his honor, "that this transaction had better be kept secret for the present." "Of ccurso," agreed the litigant. A few days later the jurist raotthe superintendent of the defendant com pany and talked, stock to him, giving the opinion that if he bought about 510,000 wurtli he would do well. The superintendent saw the point and in vested. The judge deposited in bank 116,000 of tho $20,000 to his own ac count and ?4,000 to the credit of his sompany. Judgment was given to the plain tiff, and tho superintendent of the losing company went wild and de clared everywhere that the judge was a bribe taking thief. TTia honor presently sent for both men and Informed them that a big deposit of ore had been struck in his mine. He was therefore able to pay a dividend of a dollar a share, and handed each of the astonished investors a check for $10,000. lira few days the mine was sold for $2(0,000, and the judge honorably gave each of his two stock holders $50,000. "Why did you get me to buy stock, judge," inquired the enriched and mollified superintendent, "when you meant to decide against my com pany!" "To tell the truth," answered his honor, "I had received $10,000 from the president here, and I was afraid if the matter went that way into the court I might be prejudiced, so I Bold you a like amount that I might go upon the bench entirely unbiased. " Judge Goodwin in Comstock Club. The Best Medicine. When people become peevish, nervous and restless from overwork, the class of medicine they generally seek relief from consists of such drugs as quinine, phosphorus, iron and the vegetable bitter tonics. These they expect to pull them to gether, and there is no doubt they are valuable medicines, but the error made by the sufferer is this they do not first remove the cause. "Oh, I can't stop working to rest" a man said tome once. "lean go on as I am; I can suffer." This might be all very well if he could go on as ho was, that is, get no worse. One might suffer even the inconvenience of ill health in order to support one's family, but the thin end of the wedge of indisposition ha vie g once effected an entrance, there is no staying its advance ex cept by using radical means.

An emerald ; of inestimable value ornamented the ; bezel of the ring of Polycrates, king of Sam os. That monarch, having been all his life favored by fortune, : determined to put his luck to a se vere test. He threw the ring into the sea. The next day he went fishing. The record of that day's sport still - remains unbroken. His majesty caught a fine fish and in the inside of I the fish he found his ring.

Whatever could be learned he learned. But he had no sense of humor. He thought that men's eyes suffered through not wearing hatf with brims of sufficient breadth, so ' ho wore a hat with an immense brim. One day after visit ing a great city he said to a friend: "I have had convincing proof of the English people's readiness to ac cept improvement when placed in their view. I had not been out of the railway station five minutes when I was surrounded by a crowd of people all exclaiming, 'Who's your hatter?' You see they discerned, the advantage of this valuable hat, and wanted to know where they could get hats like it. But most unfortu nately I had forgotten, and had to tell them I could not remember who my hatter was. They gave me three cheers and went away." "Twenty five Years of St Andrews. " Quill Pens in England. Although the English steel pens are as good as any in the world, the use of the quill pen is still extensive throughout tho British islands. Ev erywhere in the hotels you will see quill pens lying on the tables in the public rooms, and a plentiful supply of quills from which others may be be made whenever there is a demand for them. A quill pen is so trouble some to make, and generally so un satisfactory when it is made, that it is impossible to understand why the English should prefer them to the admirable steel pens which are sent from Great Britain all over the world. But the devotion to the quill pen is so general that there is a tra dition in the law courts that no docu ment would be legal if written with anything but a quill. St Louis Globe-Democrat ' Homing Pigeons Tor Warships. The practicability of the homing pigeon service has been satisfactorily tested by communication with the ships of war anchored off Annapolis and from vessels plying between Baltimore, Annapolis and other points. If these experiments should be successful they will demonstrate the possibility of a vessel cruising along the coast at a distance of over 100 miles, where no other means of communication would be possible, to be kept in constant intercourse with the shore. This prompt service, it is claimed, would be a great advan tage to the government Cor. Balti more Bun. Baseball Items-Ancient Player.

HOME FIRST: Highest of all in Leavening Power. .Latest U. S. Gov't Report ABSQUfZEEi FUSE Pretty Story. It was Archie Cole's wedding day. From boyhood he had been late at school, late at church, late at meals, late everywhere. "I'll wager," said his brother John, laughing, "that you can't be first even to kiss your bride at the wedding 1" 'Oh, TU not be late then," said Archie. " '.. Two hours later Archie stood with the pretty maiden byfche flowers in the parlor of her home. The guests were seated. I The minister rose. Archie's failing and John's predic tion were known to them alL Never theless Archie knew he should not be late now, . for his dear old mother had made all the guests promise not. to precede him in kissing the bride. The solemn vows were said softly, and the fervent prayer was spoken slowly, while a robin could be heard singing on the lawn. "Amen," said the minister. Archie bowed to kiss his bride ; but he paused for an instant be smiled, he blushed. A sunbeam stealing through a rift in the heavy curtains was trembling gently on the bride's lips. "I've won the bet!" cried John. The guests laughed, and ' the preacher, too, while the victorious sunbeam danced on the hyacinths and lilies. Youth's Companion. Tbe "Treasure" Btate. Montana is the largest of the newly admitted states ; in fact it is as large as Washington and North Dakota combined. It is one-sixth larger thar the United Kingdom of Great Britaix and Ireland. It is the third state if the sisterhood, ranking next aftei Texas and California. It contains 1-13,776 square miles, and is therefore the sizo of the states of New York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mary land, Virginia and West Virginia aL rolled together. It is about 640 milee in length and half as wide. As it i approached from the east it seems to be a continuation of the bunch grass olainsland which makes up all of North Dakota. But almost all at once upon enter ing Montana the monotony of the great plateau is relieved by its dis turbance into hills, which grow more and more numerous, and take on greater and greater bulk and height until when one-third of the state has been passed the earth is all distorted with mountains and mountain spurs. These are the forerunners of the Rockies, which, speaking roughly, make up the final or western third of this grand and imperial new state. Julian Ralph in Harper's. Chameleons When Angry Become Dark. The instinctive habits of the cha meleon were displayed even m a tiny creature : which I picked off a pomegranate! tree. It opened its mouth and hissed to the extent of its capacity, and when I inserted my finger in its wee but wide open mouth it bit with a force astonishing in such a mite, and it was able to pro duce some slight indentation with its minute teeth and feeble jaws. It also became immediately darker, but not black like the grown up speci mens. Otherwise it only emits the hissing sound, which, however, is not a true hiss, but more like the sound pro duced by the expulsion of our breath . with the tongue against the teeth. At night it changed its color, growing gradually paler as the day closed, and becoming almost white as the darkness set in. If disturbed or touched it immediately became dark, and thus remained until its an- srer subsided. Cor. Forest and Stream. Where the Pot of Gold Was. At a "rainbow tea," given to re plenish a Sunday school treasury, a beautiful rainbow spanned the room diagonally from corner to corner. It was elaborately constructed on a frame which had to be put up in eeven sections, so large was the span desired. Delicate hued .cheesecloth was drawn on in folds which indis- tinguishably blended into each other in faithful reproduction of the pris matic colors, giving a remarkable ef fect of the actual bow of promise. In the hall beneath this unique or nament seven tables were grouped in a wide circle around a floral tem ple of green, each table set out in its suitable colors, At one end of the bow was not a pot of gold, but large gilded pots from which lemonade was ladled. The real pot of gold was in the treasurer's box when the even ing was over. Her Point of View hi New York Tunes. Weeping Trees. Travelers in Washington and Brit ish Columbia frequently tell of seeing trees dripping with moisture when neither rain nor dew were present The strange sight is said to be due to the remarkable, condensing power or the leaves of some of the fir trees, which, when the humidity of the at mosphere closely approaches the dew point, collect the moisture from the air until the drops fall to the ground, giving the tree- the appearance of weeping. The same phenomenon is said to be met with in different species nt trees in Guinea and the Ferra is lands. Philadelphia Ledger. - : . "With Thanks."

In New York city, where the stand ard of salaries is as high perhaps as many American city, it was recently shown that of tho young men in good commercial positions 70 per cent earned $2,000 per year and only' 8 per cent exceeded $3,500 per year. Upon these incomes all the -home comforts of married life are possible, but " only by good? management Girls with frivolous ideas Of life" make failures of such homes, but the earnest girl can make happy herself. her husband and her children. Into these homes our girls are daily going as wives, and it is apparent that young men must be careful in their choice. The young men whom' our young women meet m the mcest homes of our largest cities are those who are earning the incomes referred to above. Large revenues are few, and if by a "desirable" marriage is only meant the alliance to young men of dazzling salaries, just about one girl in every thousand will make a "de sirable" match. Facts such as these must be taken into consideration by the girl of today, and when they are, it will be more clearly understood why young men are apt to be fright ened from rather than attracted to the girl whose chief idea of popular ity is to be "smart" in her chat and careless m her manner. Edward W. Bok in Ladies' Home Journal The Farmer and the Lawyer. This story is told of Charles Dick ens ana Mr. Frederick Ouvry, the well known solicitor. On one occa sion, Dickens was in treaty for a piece of land at the back of Gad's Hill, the proposed vendor being an old farmer, a keen old man of busi ness and a hard nut to crack. An interview was arranged with him at Gad s Hill for a certain evening, and Mr. Ouvry came down for the pur pose of being present when the bar gain was struck. Dickens and Ouvry were sitting over their wine when the old man was announced. "We had better pro in" said Dickens. "No, no," said the astute lawyer1 "John" (to the butler), "show him into the study and take him a bottle of old port wine." " Then, turning to Dickens, "Agilass- of port will do him no harm; it will soften him." After waiting about twenty minutes they went into the study. The farmer was sitting bolt upright m an armchair, stern and uncompromising: the bottle of port had not been touched. The nego tiations then proceeded very much in favor of the farmer and the bar gain was struck. With a chuckle tbe old man then turned his attention to the port and finished the bottle. San Francisco Argonaut Notoriety and Literature. Notoriety is iu England so much considered a pass to commercial suc cess in authorship that if a man (who might never have tried his hand at literature before) could manage to stand on his head on the point of Cleopatra's needle for say twenty four consecutive hours, he would very probably be asked to writo for some of the most important maga zines, and as probably would receive offers from entcrpi-ising publishers of books. In America he would be asked to undertake a series of lectures. In France, however, the best he could hope for would be an engagement either as waiter iu some brasserie or cafe, or as a "number" in the pro gramme of the Folies-Bergeres. Lit erature in France is considered as much a metier, requiring training and apprenticeship, as the craft of the locksmith or, the jeweler. Author. A Wonderful Hebrew Diamond.

"That will do," said a young fel low of medium height, the type of a modern, dude, as he threw open a cape coat, which disdosed ievening clothes.. . -..- . - , v-' . He said it with a very bored air. Life didn't seem to be worth living to him. The youths looked nrst at his silk hat and then down at his patent leather shoes. "Guess we can do him," said they. "Hold my coat, will you?" said he of the evening dress to the pretty girl, and she helped him take it off. Then he started to turn up his trou sers and the - biggest youth hit him on the head. He finished turning up his trousers, then turned on the big youth. "Do so hate a scene," said he, as he gave the big youth a blow right between the eyes that knocked him sprawling into the gutter. The other youth ran. Of course a crowd gathered and wondered at the pretty girl holding. thotopcoat and the fellow in evening dress. Then the pretty girl's champion put on his coat and brusned some mud from his trousers. He, was troubled to think his shirt bosom was wrinkled. "Who's the fellow P asked an elder ly gentleman of a young Harvard man who sauntered by. "Used to be the boss sparrer when he was in college; guess somebody insulted his sister." "Jove! how annoying these crowds are, Marie 1" said the young man in evening dress, as he called a cab and the two drove away up Beacon Hill. Boston Herald. American Silk Weaving and Printing.

"Mill tonnerres !" the victim ejac ulated; "what did you strike me for?"

There is a very general impression in tne minds or smoKers tnat ine meerschaum part of the pipe, which thy treasure so carefully and take so much pride-, and satisfaction m coloring," is compressed sea foam. Such, however, is not tho case. The German word meerschaum means in English foam of the sea, but its for mation has nothing to do with the sea. It is a kind of clay, comes out of mines like coal and is found only in Turkey. New York Times. Two Classes of Parents. Parents may be roughly divided into two classes those, to use a pro verbial expression, to whom all their own geese are swans ; and those who are persuaded that their swans are geese. There is a middle class, but it is so very small that it may al most be disregarded hi a description. Stranere to say. the second class is quite as large as the first Anna G Brackett in Harper's.
