A SPOILED PUN.
Hon "a No,1h Carolina Judge Repeated a
Joke to His Wife.
[Raleigh On. ca Ohser


raleigh On. CO. Observer.
Some years ago case was called for trial
in Cumberland Superior Court. Among the
witnesses on behalf of the State was to have
been one Sara Mooney. She was not found
in the court room, and her name was called
in due form from the courthouse window
without effect. Whereupon the State
solicitor, the late Hon. Robert Strange. who
was fond of joke, even of pun. turned to
the court and said: '.May it please your
honor, the testimony of this witness is not
material at and we will go on with the case
without Sara mooney" OF course, the
lawyers laughed at the pun, but the Judge
didn't see it, and cracked never a smile.
few stage coaches, and judge and lawyers
travelled from one court to another in Nc
Kethan's buggies. On the road to the next
court, in the judges own county, there was
quite procession of lawyers in buggies fol-
lowing the judges lead. The judge called
halt in the middle of stream to water his
horse. and in the thoughtful mood incident
to that process, suddenly astonished his
brethren of the bar by busting into laughter
both loud and long. He explained that he
was laughing at Judge Strange's good joke.
Arrived at home, through with his toilet and
seated at supper, his wife, as wives WILL asked
of the incidents of his journey. There had
been none of interest, he said, except the
good joke gotten off by their mutual friend,
Judge Strange, at Cumberland court Sand
what was that, my dear?'' ..Well, there was
a case in which one of the witnesses was
named Mary Mooney. She could not be
found. and Judge Strange, amid shouts of
laughter, said: May it please your honor,
we will go on without Mary Mooney
The good lady pondered awhile, and said she
did not see anything very funny in that; and,
after little thinking, the Judge said that he
did not either. then, but that be had seen it
while watering his horse.

COMPULSORY LEGISLATION.


Whatever the advocates of the school text
book bill may claim for their measure, they
are unable to give any reasonable ground
for compelling people to use the books who
do not desire them. The theory of the law
was that it was enacted to benefit the people.
Petitions are rolling into the Legislature
from all parts Of the State, signed
by thousands, asking the repeal
of this law. Notwithstanding which the
advocates of the scheme say we must not
only keep the law but perfect it and force it
upon those who are protesting against its
retention. All this in the name of the suf-
fering public. Well may the people say,
s'save us from our friends
The question appears to be a very simple
one. If the measure has merits, if it car
ries with it the advantages which are claimed,
it will stand upon it's own merits. The de-
mand that it shall be compulsory is an abso-
Lutte admission that it is not wise, economi-
cal, just and satisfactory. If law is saving
man money, does he need another law
compelling him to accept the terms of the
first act? If they argue that it is done to
secure uniformity the answer is, that uni
formity is impossible in any event, as all of
the leading towns in the State are relieved
from the workings of the present onerous
law by being organized into independent
districts.
Look at it in any way you will, and there
is no valid reason why districts should be
compelled to accept this law, save that it is
for the interest of the contractor. On every
other account they should be left to accept OF
reject it in each district. If it is what its
friends claim, the acceptance of it will be uni
versal. So long as it is crammed down the
Threats of the people, whether they will OF
no, so long will the law encounter bitter op-
position.

The Telephone IN lMining.

The telephone has been placed in the Con
solldated Virginia mine, at Virginia City.
and is doing its regular duty like any other
part OF the apparatus of the mine. It runs
from the office down to the bottom of the
shaft at the l,65O-foot level. A fine copper
wire is used, which is insulated and covered
with India rubber or gutta -percha. The in
strument operates perfectly, and orders from
the Office to the bottom Of the mine are
transmitted distinctly. This saves good
many trips of the cages, and in case Of an
accident can be made of very great service.
It will undoubtedly be introduced in nearly
all the mines before long, and replace the old
bell and-cord system.

the last sugar plum of these enterprising
youths whose residence in the State has
scarcely naturalized them.
The argument of the Pioneer Press is
that it is compilation, not a revision or
coditication, and that the compiler is capa-
BILE, therefore the State should authorize it.

The petition is all bosh. The object of

State, to fleece the taxpayers out of severa,
thousand dollars to pay for private lob,
Taxpayers cannot afford to pay large sum
every year or two for the convenience OF
lawyers, even to swell the purse of West &
Go. 1t is not compilation we need, but
changes and revision, and that is the work
for constitutional convention. We sin-
cerely hope that in these hard times
the Legislature will not entertain
this expensive folly. The pill is sugar
coated, but the poison is inside. The bill
says that sthe preparation and publication,
of the compilation shall cost the State moth

Canes in Chickens.

The disease in chickens TO which the
name of gapes has been applied is
caused by the presence in the windpipe
of small worms Of pale reddish col
or. In small numbers they cause irri-
tation, and in large numbers some
times cause death by sufiocation. The
allment is generally successfully treat
ed by the use of carbolic acid, which,
in the form of a solution, is introduced
by means Of q feather into the throat
of the fowl. Take a medium soft
feather of wing; pluck the web from
both sides, to within about half an
inch of the tip, and after dipping it in
solution of a scruple of carbolic acid
in an ounce of glycerine, run the feath-
er down the windpipe, giving it three
or four turns, and quickly withdraw
it. This may be repeated three or four
times, each tune taking new feather.
To prevent other fowls from becon-
ing similarly infected by picking up
the worms that have been Withdrawn
it is best to burn the feathers and all
matter and worms drawn from the
windpipe of the affected fowls. TIE
further the cure, and also as a pre-
ventive, it will be proper to give the
hens access to drinking water in which
some lime has been Stacked, or in
which has been placed some camphor.
Stagnant water and standing pools
are regarded as among the sources
whence this disease is derived.-Prai-

Honey Adulteration.

a correspondent of the American
Bee JouTntrl, writing of the adultera-
ton of honey, says:
"Glucose is grape sugar, the next
relative to honey, derived principally
from corn in this country and princi-
pally from potatoes in Germany and
France. Glucose made of corn is
lightest and made to serve the pur-
pose. Being of good taste, and not
having any particular flavor, it does
not spoil the flavor of the honey, but
partakes of it readily. 1t diminishes,
however, the acid of the honey. A
friend, q druggist, buys his honey OF
me because, as he says, he believes it
to be pure, and-because he wants to
do his own mixing. He did not be-
lieve that l was able to pick out my
pure from his mixed honey, and invit-
ed me to come to his store for trial.
went, and picked out the right jar;
did not miss the flavor, and almost not
1.-THE transparency and color, but merely
the acid in the adulterated honey. His
mixture was one part honey and four
parts glucose. Glucose is worth seven
and half cents a pound in Cincinnati.
1t should be an object to bee keepers
and editors of bee journals to post
everybody in regard to the matter"

INSIDE Doors to Stables.

In that part of the barn which is de.
voted to stables there should be few
doors and partitions which will form
small apartments. 1t is frequently de-
sirabfe to turn COW or a calf into a
stable without tying. If there are in
side doors this can be easily done. But
| if there are no doors the stable canno t
be used in this way, as the animals
would go all over it and into the barn
floor. 1t is also safer to have small
stables partitioned off by themselves
and connected by doors, than it Is to
have Que large one which opens the
whole length of the barn. If cow
gets unfastencd she will be less likely
to injure others if she is in a small
stable than she will in large one.
Besides, if kept out of the barn floor
she cannot injure herself by eating a
large quantity of meal. This is a very
important item. 1t is best to have the
stables divided so that moi more than
five or six animals can occupy any one
room. The stables in which cows are
kept should also be wholly separated
from horse stables. Then there should
be door connecting the main barn
floor with the stables. These doors
should be hung SO as to close and latch
themselves. A simple catch can be
placed at the top or side of each door
to hold it open when it is wanted in
that position. By freeing the catch
the door viii swing to its place. fasten
itself, and keep any animal which may
chance to get its liberty from going
very far from its own manger.--Prac-
ticaf Farmer.

Dr.. Mary Walker.

DIR. Mary Walker was born in Os.
wego, New York, about 1880, and
though she had the reputation of be-
ing peculiar, was not by any means
hayward, girl. She was a superior
scholar, and, taking to the study OF
medicine, graduated regularly. She
married, when quite young, DR..
Miller-the match proving an unhap-
py one. A suit for divorce against
him was unsuccessful because of his
declaration of his willingness to live
wife her, and his allegation that she
had deserted without cause. During
the war, DIR. Mary had charge of a
hospital in the West, and was captur-
ed by the Confederates, and confined
in Libby prison as a spy. Since the
war she has lived in Washington,
where she has always been doing some
thing to attract notoriety, from the
that she 80 persistently endeavored to
gain admission to the execution of
Mrs. Surratt down to the day of her
assault on smoker in one of the gov
eminent offices.
