UNKNOWN LAW
The subject had turned to occultism, when the student who had been listening attentively said: "I was skeptical for a number of years in regard to the stories I heard of occult manifestations until I came face to face with a practical demonstration right here in New Orleans which convinced me that there are many strange laws of nature of which we are entirely ignorant. One day I met a stranger on St. Charles street who spoke to me as familiarly as if he had known me for years.
"I arrived in New Orleans yesterday from Europe," he said, "and I had a strange premonition that I would meet a man of your description and that he would aid me."
"I laughed, and replied that I would be glad to do anything in my power. To make a long story short, we became good friends, and were in the habit of seeing each other quite frequently. He was greatly interested in occultism, but I only laughed at his many stories and told him I was a good friend. He was also a teacher, finally one day he induced me to place myself under his 'influence' and become 'perfectly receptive.' To humor him I did what he suggest.
Quite recently a famous novelist called in a great doctor and asked him what was the matter with him. All the various symptoms were thoroughly gone into, and an exhaustive verbal examination was made, and the medical man then spoke as follows:
"You are selling your nerves; you cannot sell them and keep them, too! You must either work with less intensity or you must change your occupation. So long as you continue to work your imagination and your nervous system as you have been doing, long will you be subject to breakdown such as the present one."
First of all, there is the writer of romance, who puts on paper events and conversations and scenery such as has never had any foundation in fact.
Where does he get his material from? It comes, so it is popularly said, from his "inner consciousness."
"There is no Italian town more picturesque than this Sicilian capital, Palermo," writes a traveler. "In its port lie crowded the queerest coasting craft I have ever set eyes on. Sailing ships of all rigs, their hulls painted all the colors of the rainbow, nose up against the quay, where mule carts, whose drivers are shouting at the top of their voices, wait to take away the merchandise. The narrow street where the custom-house officers examine the goods brought ashore is a place of terrific noise. When a driver, two clerks and two custom-house officers are disheveled, a snake snakes, a cask, it seems as though murder must be committed within the next few seconds. But somebody signs something, the cart moves on and everybody laughs. "Marienne剧院 have an attraction for me and I hang about the doors like a small boy. The doorways are not inviting, generally lead-
Mr. Brown had a very intelligent dog, of whom he was proud and to whom he was greatly attached. One day his son, a rather wild young man, came to him and told him that there was a man in Boston who could teach dogs to talk.
The old man, easily deceived where his son concerned, told the boy to take him up and let the professor look at him, and, if he thought it worth while, to teach him, if it wouldn't cost more than $200.
The son was in need of money about this time, so he told the old man that the first payment would be $100. His father handed it over, and Charles took the dog off and killed him. After spending the day Brown that went home and told him that the professor told him it would take the teacher to teach the dog, and to come up in two weeks with $50 and see how he was getting along.
Sir Harry Johnston, who recently returned to England from a visit to Liberia, during which he traversed the whole of the coast line and made several expeditions into the interior, is very hopeful of the future of that country, which, he says, has made great progress since he last saw it twenty years ago. United States Consul General Evans at London, who has reported the matter to the state department, summarizes Sir Harry Johnston's observations in regard to Liberia as follows: The Liberian government has so encouraged the use of English among the natives that there is scarcely any important tribe or chief that has not several individuals to speak intelligible English there; the natives are well disposed toward the white man, and consequently travelers have no difficulty in dealing with

ed. He placed a pencil in my hand and quite unconsciously I began to write rapidly in a strange hand. After completing nine pages I signed the last page with a name I had never heard before. What strange force compelled me I know not. It just seemed that I must write. All this time my friend was scanning the pages eagerly. When he saw the name at the end he uttered an exclamation of surprise. "Did you ever know that man?" he asked eagerly.
"I told him I did not.
"Well, that man was my dearest friend. He was drowned 10 years ago in the China Sea!"
"You can imagine my surprise. The letter I had written was an eerie affair, describing life in the sunny country with which I read it. I took me several days to recover from the strange shock of it all, and since that day I have never tried another experiment or attempted to delve into the mysteries of occultism. However, I'm a firm believer in the existence of naked animals, which we know absolutely nothing."—New Orleans Times.Democrat.
That is a good answer for the ordinary person, because it is easy. But what is this mysterious "inner consciousness"? It is, roughly, a picture or an impression manufactured by the brain, which is created by a writer, who draws, and his artistic sense dictates, lappings and talks and views which he creates by means of brain and nerve cells which have never yet been fully and satisfactorily described to the unscientific mind. A novelist, or a poet, or a painter, or a great musician, or in short, anybody who acts upon inspiration, and nerves when he practices his art. Were he not to go through the effort, or task, of giving out his very life-blood in this manner, he would have much more physical, vitality for ordinary purposes, such as the withstanding of chills and shocks and attacks of the sort and another to the sort and all of us liable.-Chicago American.
So in a fortnight the old man gave him the $50 and he went off. When he came home he told how the dog said "Hello," and asked after the folks, and the old man was so pleased that in another two weeks he gave the son another $50 and told him to go after the dog.
Of course, he came home without him, and Mr. Brown wanted to know where the dog was.
"Well, I'll tell you how it was, father," the boy replied. "I got him all right, and we started home on 'the train. He sat up on the seat with me, and we were talking. He asked after you and mother, and by and by he says: 'Does the old man make love to the servants, the same as he used to do with the dog, and threw him out of the window.'"
"Gosh!" the man exclaimed, "I hope you killed him."—Boston Herald.
them. The country is one great rubber-producing forest. Coffee grows there wild, and it is also being extensively cultivated by the Americo-Liberians. The forests also contain many valuable timbales, dyewoods and drugs, while the oil palm is exceedingly abundant. In the interior of the country ivory cays still form, but are many philippines, which are easily planted, and like cotton thrives remarkably well. There are indications of the presence of gold in the country, and a 10-carat diamond is alleged to have been discovered there. The existence of hematite iron ore in much of the country along the seaboard is undoubted, and the natives work it to a considerable extent. The climate of Liberia is much pleasanter than that of the regions north and south of it. It is much healthier, and there is a remarkable

Ring Shiner.
Professional gambling from a business standpoint is, considering the outlay, perhaps the most profitable occupation in the world. The initial ex-pense, however, is great. The equipment of a first class house with fine paraphernalia means an expenditure of thousands of dollars and a continual expense amounting to several hundred dollars daily. The various items to be considered are the expenses of rent, wages, light and supplies, besides the well stocked buffet and the fine lunches served free to their natrons by the best houses.
An intelligent business man who stops to consider the problem for a moment must realize that this outlay could not possibly be met with the percentage of play on an equal basis and that the only possible solution of the problem must be that the banker or operator must be complied with at all times, thereby insuring protection and profit to the house. To accomplish this, expert mechanics and electricians are employed to perfect and manufacture skillful devices that are noiseless and invisible in their operation and so constructed that they are impossible of detection. From years of careful study at home and abroad it has been proven conclusively that no game of chance exists that cannot by electrical or mechanical power be to answer the control of the operator at will. Roulette, supposed to be a machine impossible to control—in connection with which, in fact, control is supposed to be unnecessary, as the percentage is largely in favor of the house—is played heavily and in preference to any other on account of this supposition. But such a system of game wheels are equipped with electrical and mechanical devices controlling the ball at any particular point.
In games of chance using dice particular attention is given to details, as these game are known to the average player to sometimes be fixed, and he has the privilege of inspection at any time or to call for new dice. Loaded dice are manufactured to any desired combination, and by boring, weighing and by filling in with heated composition appear natural in weight, roll and appearance, and even celluloid dice, which are transparent, bear close scrutiny to ensure that they are of an experienced player to be manipulated for desired number, and the chances of an interperceived player winning are very slight. In large dice games electric power is used; this is created by batteries feeding magnets so powerful that they act through any thickness of cloth, paper or wood. The current is controlled by the operator by the use of a rubber bulb or push button placed under foot, and by throwing these metal loaded dice over the magnetized surface he can beat any throw his opponent might make. The batteries used are generally secreted under the table and weigh sometimes forty or fifty pounds. Poker is a game that offers unlimited opportunity for the use of various devices and methods of manipulation; in fact, they are too numerous to mention. By the following means the gambler affair controls the cards and the chance to invariably win from his opponents. The sleeve holdout is made of a

haircloth slideway about the same size as a deck of cards, with its narrow sides laid in fine pleated folds, so that it will lie flat or expand. This is sewed in the sleeve of the coat or shirt and reaches from the cuff to the elbow joint. One of the wide sides is sewn to the near end of the sleeve, the opposite wide side is sewn or pasted to the cuff, both ends being open. At the elbow a strap fits around the arm, to which is attached a metal tube that reaches down to the near end of the sleeve. The opposite wide side is also fastened to the strap and to the elastic is fastened a metal clamp that holds the cards.
A cord is attached to this clamp, which runs down and over the pulley, then back to the elbow through the metal tube, thence to the shoulder, through the clothing to the body and thence down the loop at the heel with a hook attached to the end. The cord passes through a flexible tube from the elbow to the ankle. This tube will bend easily, but it cannot be attached with string ties to keep it in line with the body. Its use is to prevent the cord from binding or sticking.
To work this holdout the hook at the end of the cord is fastened to the loop of the shoe on the opposite foot; when the feet are spread apart this causes the cord to draw the clamp referred to down through the slidway and to near the end of the sleeve. Any cards that are in it will reach into the palm of the hand, where they can be taken out or placed back into the clamp. By drawing the feet close together again it causes the cord to relax, and the elastic referred to will draw the clamp and any cards it contains back up the slidway to its place near the elbow.
Shiners are various forms of reflectors and are used to see the cards as they are dealt out by the dealer. They are made in many ways, the wet shiner being the simplest, the gambler spilling a little wipe from his glass upon the surface of the opened table.

The poker chip shiner is a convex reflexor set in a poker chip, chip over-which he passes the cards in dealing, and when not in use or when in danger of exposure he will stack other chips on top of it.
The finger ring shiner is composed of a half inch or smaller convex reflexor setting of a ring; this is worn on the little finger of the left hand, and by turning the setting to the inside of the palm shiner, and then the dex of the cards as they are dealt. The palm shiner is a small device with a reflector fitting on the ball of the little finger of the left hand, and is used in the same way as the ring shiner. Mica is sometimes used as a reflector, and being thin can be bent or curled easily without breaking. It is also preferred, as it makes no noise, as glass would if struck, by accident. It is used in many ways, by passing to the hand, table or clothing.
The table shiner is made by covering the top of a table with various chemicals such as are used in the manufacture of mirrors. By the use of shellac, alcohol, silver solution and silicate of soda (liquid glass) it takes on a brilliant polish, but is invisible, and focused to distance of one to three feet and of a lighter or clearer color than the atmosphere through which the person is looking. A gambler will fix the entire top of a table with this solution and readily and easily tell every card as it is dealt.
Marked cards are made in various ways and are nearly always used by the professional gambler. Magnifying spectacles are sometimes used where the markings are so fine that they are invisible to the naked eye at a distance, and in some the lenses are so large that they are not seen from a feet away close up to the vision of the eye. Cards are also sometimes marked in various ways on the edges by inks, and often by shaving or cutting down to a fraction that is barely perceptible, this method especially for the higher cards, as the four aces, kings and queens.
The advantages of playing with marked cards are numerous, and a skillful player, can tell immediately the cards his opponents draw, draw and finally hold, and at a favorable opportunity fill his own hand with cards suitable to outplay any other against him. Ringing in or switching a marked or cold deck is easily accomplished. An accomplice secures a deck identical to that in use, stacks or sorts it for a winning hand, and then secretes it into the hand of the portmanteau who secretes it in his lap, under the table or in a holdout. At his deal he will drop a card to the floor, reach for a spittoon or something on the floor, and while doing so will switch the decks. He will then false shuffle the fake deck, throw, jog, crim or brief mark by bending, etc., into them for a confederate to cut to, or do likewise to an innocent player, and then make it impossible for him to lose—New York Herald.

For some time prior to 1800 travel across Pennsylvania had been in canoes and in river barges propelled by poles or along the shores "of rivers by horse and foot and by intermingling portages on Indian trails, connecting points on the different rivers. The Philadelphia-Pittsburgh national lake was built upon such a substantial oasis that wherever undisturbed one still finds the perfectly modeled mounds of solid masonry almost intact, after more than a century has passed. The completion of the Old Portage railroad by the state of Pennsylvania in 1834 put an end to the time-honored "coach and six," with the many picturesque and commodious inns and taverns along the line of this broad macadamized toll road, which with its substantial construction was, in point of endurance, second only to the Roman military roads of Great Britain. This Old Portage road was constructed from material brought from England. The British government has instructed the Americans in the running of the stationary steam engines used upon the inclined planes of the road in the Allegheny mountains. The railroad's highest point was about 2,700
Rudyard Kipling has seen his second sea serpent, according to a story which comes with some seriousness from Cape Town. People who read Kipling's first sea-serpent story thought it was merely a brilliant piece of fiction. This second sea serpent story is not told by Kipling, but by the skipper of the steamship Armadale Castle. The sea serpent was seen—in fact, it was struck by the ship and probably killed—while the Armadale Castle was on her last voyage to Cape Town, in latitude 3 degrees south. Mr. Kipling was aboard the ship.
Commander Robinson is not sure whether the creature struck was a real sea serpent, a queer whale or a greatly overgrown shark. Whatever it was, the thing was hit by the bow of the ship where, in all properly regulated fishes, the pectoral fin exists. The head was doubled across the port bow and the tail was trawled away from the ship. The long struggles of the creature to free itself from its painful and embarrassing position led to its striking the soft brown paint of the "boot-topping" on

The tipping evil has been abolished in the United States senate, says the Brooklyn Eagle. An edict has gone forth that none of the little pages who run about ministering to the wants of the members of this body shall accept gratuities of any kind from the hands of senators. But a big crimp in the pocket money of the youngsters. The side earnings of the pages have averaged $10 or $15 a month, and occasionally they would run up to twice those agues.

feet above sea level; being only 200 feet lower than the neighboring hill, which is the highest point of the Allegheny mountains in Pennsylvania. The road consisted of ten planes, five of which were on either side of the mountain, and intervening levels. In 1858 the canalboats were so constructed that they could be taken in sections and hauled over the mountain on flat cars, without disturbing their cargoes. The rails were secured to stone sleepers twenty inches square, which were sunk in the ground.
On the Old Portage road the best time for the forty miles between Holidayburg and Johnstown was twelve hours. Express trains on the Pennsylvania railroad now run a closely parallel distance over the Allegheny mountains in a traffic on a road in those days was usually limited to one car each way a day, with a capacity of thirty passengers. In 1854 the Pennsylvania Railroad company bought the Portage road from the state of Pennsylvania. Common rumor says that at this time the state legislature was "granted" the $47,000,000 which was to have been paid for the road was ever received into the treasury of Pennsylvania.
the ship's side with the powerful fluko of its tail.
This was observed by the boatswain and some of the men who were watching the afair through the side ports immediately over the tail of the fish.
The marks enabled the commander afterward to make fairly accurate measurements. From mark to stem it was apparent that the ship was easily about the volume of one of the ship's lifeboats at the broadest part, say eight feet in diameter, very gracefully tering away toward the tail.
The body appeared to be of a greenish-brown color with large dark spots all over the back and sides, the lower parts being of a dull white.
It was first observed by one of the scamen, who heard a knocking against the ship's side. When the news was passed along the decks all the passengers, young and old, performed a stade stamped into the forearm of the engines were stopped as soon as possible and reversed, but fully a quarter of an hour elapsed between the first discovery and the final clearance, by which time the creature was either dead or completely exhausted, for it sank slowly, tail first.

Hereafter there will be no more collection of speeches, to be sold to senators at fancy prices.

In all there are eleven different bodies of Presbyterian working in India, and they have 32 presbyteries, with 323 churches and nearly 25,000 communicants. There has for some time been a Presbyterian Alliance of India, and at the meeting recently held in Allahab there was formed a provisional general assembly. A confession of faith, constitution and canons were adopted, and the new church definitely launched. Missionaries of the various countries have found great advantages from their association with each other in the alliance, and they confidently look for even larger benefaction from the fuller union now accomplished.

SATURADY, MARCH 18, 1905.
In a vote of 61 to 44 the Presbytery of New York on Monday rejected the Gunther and Union overture. The vote was announced after an excited meeting of the Presbytery lasting for more than three hours, and during which nearly one of the 150 members present spoke. The plan of union rejected by the New York Presbytery, the largest in the country, favored separate Presbyteries for whites and Afro-Americans.

There seems to be a sort of religious tidal wave sweeping over the country; thousands are claiming to have been converted and the good people of several wicked cities are awaking to a sense of their duty to suppress municipal wickedness, vice and immorality.
Simple Test With Litmus Paper
Showed Acid.
The state experiment stations are
doing a great work for the farmers.
The following incident shows what
are "when you know, how," says a writer in
Country Life in America. A station official was going over a farm with the owner when they came to a crawfish piece of land just back of the barn, the very weeds looked yellow and unhealthful.
"I am inclined to think," remarked the agriculturist, "that this land is too acid for productivity. We can determine this in a moment."
Taking a blue piece of paper from his pocket he stooped and dipped the paper in some of the soil water that was standing in a cow track. To the owner's astonishment the blue paper changed to a red color as soon as it was immersed. He told the agriculturist, "we have our proof. This is just a piece of litmus paper. For 5 cents you can buy a similar piece at any drug store. Its change of color shows that the land is sour. Crops cannot thrive on sour land more than children can thrive on sour milk."
STAMPS PUT TO NOVEL USE.
Brilliant Wall Decoration Evolved by Patient Monks.
The monks at the Hospital of St. Jean de Dieu, at Ghent, have in their leisure moments decorated the walls with gorgeous landscapes, glowing with color and full of life, formed entirely by means of the postage stamps of all the nations of the world. Palaces, forests, streams and mountains are represented, butterflies flit about in the air, birds of beautiful plumage on branches, snakes and lizards glide above, and animals find places here and there. The pictures are most artistic, in the style of Chinese landscape gardening, and already between nine and ten millions of stamps have been used.
Once a painter wore a wob.
In and out of the colors flashed;
Flamed and flicker'd; rose and fell,
Like in an Eastern fairy story.
And the public looked and spoke.
He must be a joke.
"He must mean it for a joke,
For it can not be a picture."
Once a poet fung a glow.
From his pen upon his paper.
Sweets were high, then dropped and died.
Sounds rose high, then dropped and died.
Flames writhed red, like shreds of light.
And the people saw, and said,
Ere they'd half perused the proem,
Must have been off his ears.
Were they a poem."
The Choice of a Wife.
A German professor selects a woman who can merely stew prunes—not because stewing prunes and reading Proclus make a delightful harmony, but because he wants his prunes stewed for him and chooses to read Proclus by himself. A fulness of prunes is a gift, and another, is scarcely ever looked for except in a narrow, conventional sense. Men like to come home and find a blazing fire and a smiling face and an hour of relaxation. Their serious thoughts and earnest aims in life they keep on one side. And this is the carrying out of love and marriage almost everywhere in the world by the grading of women by both—From One of Mrs. Browning's Letters, 1846.
Wealth and Longevity
The late Prof. Owen thrashed out the question of wealth and longevity thoroughly. It was his conclusion that if it be true that the dietary of the rich is opposed to health, the absence of worry, of anxiety over the living of themselves and their families, the absence of severe toil, and the like, more than compensate for any digestive troubles they may incur. Probably most rich people cat too much and their dietary is too stimulating. The result is frequent hunger with overwork, anxiety and exposure. A happy medium, of course, is the suggestion of common sense and experience.
Physicians Couldn't Wed:
There once was a time when doctors were doomed to celibacy. It was at the conclusion of the medieval period when medicine was in the hands of the monks. In France, the British Medical Journal recalls, the habit of cellibacy persisted long after the practice of medicine had passed into lay hands. For two centuries, the doctor was prosecuted, but in vain. The doctor was finally laid before the pope, and towards the end of the fifteenth century the vow was abolished.
Helman Hunt's First Portrait
One day when Holman Hunt, in his office boy days, was alone in the office, a gentleman called and asked for the principal on business. On the principal's return poor Hunt could not remember the caller's name, but he said: "I can't remember the gentleman's name; our business is what he was." And he promptly drew a picture of the visitor which was so striking a likeness that the principal forgot his annoyance in his astonishment.
A Sickly Joke.
Hereafter the preachers of Atchison will be required to diagram their jokes and give plans and specifications for their long range figures of speech, says the Kansas City Journal. One of them said of a woman recently that "she ought to go to hell." It raised a terrible commotion in the church. Then the preacher explained. He said his idea was that if such a good woman went to hell there would be no hell.
The Ideal Holiday.
To be allowed to live on the simplest fare and read all day would be a real holiday to many 'of us; to receive no letters, read no papers, enter on no discussions, have no plans to make, no times to keep, no trains to catch, to get up, go to bed, talk, or keep silence just as and when we choose, would be to others of ours we are but have such a holiday of ours.

A POLITICAL HISTORY OF SLAVERY. A Political History of Slavery. By William Henry Smith. With an introduction by Robert A. Mackenzie. Net. $4.50. By mail, $5.00. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons.
A Political History of Slavery," by Wm. Henry Smith, is an elaborated story of the controversy over the slavery question to the close of the Reconstruction period in the United States.
This book is written by Whitewalt Reid, which tells of Mr. Smith's career and which gives quite an extended criticism of these two very instructive vol-
strategists Von Moltke.
In reading certain chapters of this book one might easily imagine that the revolt himself of the Revolution were again being enacted in Paris and elsewhere throughout the country.
The events which led up to the war with Germany are thus described by the author.
Whitewalt prepared the war. Napoleon III wanted it, the great bourgeois booked on. They might have stopped it by an earnest gesture. M. Thiers contented himself with a grenade. He knew in this war our certain ruin; he knew our terrible inferiority in everything; he could have
"Opposition to the institution of slavery arose from religious convictions as to its moral policies. The resistance of those who with Mr. Jefferson condemned it because of its religious content, the impotent as his, or succumbed to the violence of political forces; while that having in source in religious games played by the Society of Friends the third party.

The pages must have been written many months before those outbreaks gave a chance to be published. The author is himself a Hebrew, and the book is written in the title to his book, but this circumstance does not seem to have biased opinions. The case is certainly stated with fairness.

‘This community was shocked last
‘Tuesday: to learn that Henry Roverts,
‘one: of our. best citizens, had-been ar-
rested in connection with the T. M.
Roberts’ Supply House: robbery. No
‘one had ever had cause to question
Mr. Roberts’ honesty. He had full
charge of the drug department of the
supply house. He has always stood
high in this community, being a
prominent “K. P. and well connected
with St. Peter's church; owns a good
home and has a nice family. Roberts
fg accused of being implicated in the:
loss of a $50 buggy. He and Sam
Brown, who Was arrested at the same
time have retained Mr. Wm. R. Morris,
as thelr attorney and will doubtless
prave their innocence. Bail was fixed
‘ag one hundred dollars which Roberts
‘easily furnished; Brown could not se-
‘cure the ball.
Mr, Nelson Wins.
‘The many friends of Mr. George W.
Nelson, druggist of this city, will re-
joice to know that he has won out in
the Supreme Court in the litigation
respecting the building of his hand-
some residence on Chicago avenue.
‘After starting in the drug business
and ‘accumulating sufficient money,
Mr. Nelson purchased a lot in the
aristocratle section of our city and en-
gaged a contractor to begin the erec-
tion of his residence thereon. Through,
inadvertence and mistake he required
no bond from the contractor. After
the completion of the building. Mr.
Nelson paid his contractor the amount
agreed under the contract for which
amount the contractor had undertaken
to pay all bills for material and labor.
‘After receiving the amount contracted
for, the, contractor, Mr. J. J. Dissette,
left the city without paying the ma-
terial men and labor. Liens were im-
mediately fled upon Mr. Nelson's
house aggregating near unto two thou-
sand dollars, and he was threatened
with the loss of his house or. the pay-
ment of this amount a second time.
Later on action was brought to fore:
close theseliens;thefirst trialoccurring
in May, 1903., Attorney: Frederick: 1.
‘McGhee appeared for Mr. Nelson and
the Men Holders were represented by
the following well known and able
hiawyera: “9. F: Gelst, Messrs, Cohen,
Atwater & Shaw, Lane & Nantz, L. E.
Stettler and J. 7. Getty. On the trial
of the case“which lasted for three
Gays, lien claimants aggregating, near-
ly one thousand dollars were defeated
and. the others » were successful
Counsellor McGhee “immediately ad
vised Mr. Kelson to appeal the case
to the Supreme.Court, if need be, and
after a motion for a new trial was de-
nied, the appeal was taken to the Su:
preme Court.
‘Special mention should be made of
pe fact that Mr, Nelson felt perfect
ly" satisfied to leave the matter—
‘though. it involved the probable loss
of his home—in the hands of an attor-
ney of this own race. In making. the
Selection of Mr. MeGheo he was prob-
ably to some extent influenced by the
fact that he and Mr. McGhee were
members of a social club—The T. 5.
T. C—and desired to show his friend-
ship and attachment. to. a brother
member as well, as his faith in. the
ability. o¢ his counsellor. ‘Throughout
the trial of the case the lawyers rep-
resenting the lenholders combined
their talent ant) ability to assist each
other in the appeal of the case.
"The case was tried Vefore the Hon.
Marshall A. Spooner of the fifteenth
judicial district, who was sitting by
appointment as’ one of the judges of
Hennepin County. On last Friday the
Supreme Court handed down an opin-
fon sustaining each contention made
vy Counsellor MeGhee on the principal
points involved in the case, not only
Teversing the decision of the lower
court but ordered judgment entered
in the Supreme Court in accordance
with the contention of Mr. Nelson's
counsel on the trial. Such an order
by the Supreme Court Is rarely made
and is’ never made except. in. cases
Where it is clearly apparent that no
other result can be had upon a second
trial of the case. In other words that
the prevailing party is clearly shown
to be entitled toa judgment. On the
sucessful’ outcome: of. the case’ both

‘YHE MOOR AS A SERVANT.
‘Mighty Picturesque, but With Hospit-
‘able Notions of His Own.
An artist in New York has a Moor
for a servant. The artist found him
@ancing in a side show at the fair, and
they had a little chat between dances.
It was a one-sided chat for the Moor
knows little English, though he knew
enough English or human nature to
say that he had been a servant of the
Sultans. Before the Moor danced
again the artist had asked him to be
his servant.
‘The Moor could not say, modestly,
“What, in this attire?” for his scarlet
robes and tutban were gorgeous; but
he did murmur something about being
dressed differently from American
servants. The artist wanted him as he
‘was, and said so.
‘So as he Is, in scarlet grandeur, he
waits on the artist's stndio -apart-
ments. The guests told their breath
‘a little when the enormous man in
red enters the room to do the tea
chores. ‘The artist, however, breathes
evenly.
‘The Moor has a trick of hospitality
toward his employer's guests of which,
perhaps, it would be well for the
artist to break him, as it proves nerve
shattering‘o the unitiated. He solemn-
ly takes it upon himself to greet each
guest, as he or she arrives, with prot
fered hand and the plaintive murmur,
“My friend.” ‘
Perhaps the artist thinks it is better
not to correct the Moor. He is a very
big man, and the artist treats him po-
litely.
LITTLE TROUBLE TO LEARN.
Sandy's First Attempt at Feat an Un
qualified Success.
A Scoitish gillie was invited by the
laird to take @ pull at his flask after
gaffing the first fish of the day.
“I canna trink oot of a bottle,” pro:
tested the sillie, with a frown of dis-
approval.
“Aweel, try, Sandy,” said the laird
encouragingly., And Sandy tried—tried
so thoroughly that the faird gazed i.
mingled awe and admiration as the
whisky gurgled and gurgled out of the
flask down the swarthy throqt, until,
‘with scarce a heel tap left’ in it, the
“pocket pistol” was handéd back to
the owner.
“Hoot, Sandy, maybe ye were richt
—maybe ye canna trink oot of a bot-
tle” gasped the laird, with a mighty
sigh, “but, eh, mon, ye'd soon learn!”
Bailey's Magazine!
‘Ciiem Rinne Ware Mee:
There is an amusing description by
Munro, an old Scottish, soldier, of the
effect of cannon, when they were new
weapons of warfare. “For a long
time,” he says, “used for the batter
ing down of walls and cities, they
were at last used in the field to break
equadrons and batailes of horse and
foot. And how soone the trumphet
did sound the enemy was thundered
on so that they were cruelly affright-
ed, men of valor being suddenly tak.
en away, who before were wont to
Aght valiantly und long with sword
and Jaunce. But now men are mar-
tyrised and cut down at more than
halt a mile of distance by those
furious and thundering engines of
great cannon.”

{are we about to witness a slump in
“strads” and other old violins? A let.
ter received in Rome, from Bucharest,
states that an Italian artist named
‘Antonio Bonardi, long resident there,
has found a method of greatly improv-
ing the quality of tone in violins. This
Tesult 1s secured by a certain modif-
tation of the shape. especially at the
narrower part, rendering the instru-

A growing plant should be kept in

the piano will. The reason that a pi-

room is that all the moisture is tak-
en out of the sounding board. The
‘Doard is forced into the case so tight-
Jy that it bulges up in the center and
though the wood is supposed to be as

Position in Sleep.
According to Dr. Fischer of Beriin,
the most effective position of sleep for
obtaining intellectual rest is to keep
the head low and the feet slightly ele
wated. Failing this, the body should,
at any rate, be horizontal, so as to irrk
gate the brain well. The habit of sleep-
ing with: head low and feet high is,
according to the doctor, a remedy. for
brain troubles and some interna} mal-
dies. It can be adopted gradually.

‘One of the best golfers that ever laid
out a coutse or drove a ball was ‘old
‘Tom. Morris. ‘They called him “old”
to distinguish him from his son, who
was the most brilliant player of his
time, and to whose memory a fine
monument was erected over his grave
in St. Andrews. Once, when old Tom
was greenkeeper at Prestwick, in Ayr-
shire, he took part in a foursome, his
partner being Capt. Wolfe Murray.
Next day thé postman handed Tom a
letter simply addressed to “The Mis-
ser of Short Putts, Prestwick.” This
shows how well kngwn Tom was, and
also what had been wrong ‘with
his “play in the match. When
the question of Sunday play was
being discussed, Tom | was | asked
for his opinion. “Well,” he
said, “ff man doesna need a rest, I
ken the green does.” He retired from
the post of greenkeeper “to the Royal
and Ancient Club of St. Andrews at
the age of 82 years, but in spite of his
great age, played a fine game to the
very leat. *

“Ive found a new use for my post
‘age stamps,” said a pater-familias the
other day,’ “I was left at home to
take care of our ten-monthsold boy
while my wife vas out bargain hunt
ing. It was my plan to put the little
fellow to sleep, then get at the pile of
unanswered letters on my desk. My
plans miscarried—for awhile. The lit
tle chap persisted in staying awake
and clamoring for my attention. I de-
vised many forms of amusement for
him, but none tasted long enough for
me to get really to work.
“In looking about for something
which should insure me more than a
breathing spell 1 caught sight of a
bright, new two-cent postage stamp.
I thought of the little fellow’s love for
color—took the stamp and pasted it
securely on the palm of his hand. It
was a grand success. He played, with
that newly decorated hand for an hour
—then relief came in the return of his
mother."

a long stick for a whip jabbing first
one and then the other, he was heard
to say: “Git up, here, git up, ye
