A Judge Learning His Trade.

Justice Miller, in an address before the
Iowa Bar Association, made the follow.
ing statement: "You will, perhaps, be
surprised when I tell you that the ablest
lawyer of this or any other bar, when he
is FOR. the first time appointed a Judge,
has to learn his trade, as much as the
mechanics apprentice. Of course, do
not mean by this that he has to learn the
law, for I am supposing him to be
learned in law. But what the appren-
ticed mechanic learns of his master is
not the science of mechanical forces
at least not mainly that. This is pre-
cisely what I am saying of new judge.
Let me illustrate this from my oTp ex-
perience, for it is closely related to train
ing in lawyer. 1t is, in fact, the same
thing. I am very sure that it d0es not
take me half the time now that itdid at
first to eliminate from a complex case
presented to ME for decision whit is ir-
relevant or immateriaI and to aetaiu
the point of conflict necessary t be de-
cided. And this is equally true, neither
the contest be one of law or fact, both.
By practice and attention d listen
to a lawyer, read document cred in
evidence, pass with him lightly FER the
formal parts of the instrument when
he comes to the vital matter, lhe few
words, perhaps, which alone ch the
issue, I catch their precise me bg, and
if do not get that clearly up him
there until I do. 1t is rare Il | need
20 over that instrument age So I
have acquired, / hardly knoY Pw, e1-
cept by practically tra;nins ss@as fac
ulty Of taking an immense reco 6f five
hundred or one thousand pagS, and
turning at once to the material parts,
whether of pleading, of evide ice, or
whatever it may be, and in o e-third
the time it took me when I first ent on
the bench I gathered the mater S for
my judgment without digesting mass
of useless chaff."

The Skulls of Murderers.

One of the most curious collections in
the great Anthropological Museum in
the Paris Exhibition of last year was q
collection of thirty-six skulls of murder
ers who had been guillotined in France.
This collection has been carefully studied
by Mr.. Border, who has published the
results of his studies in the last number
of Broca's Recue FAnthropoLogie. The
most striking result of his observa-
tions is the very large cubic capacity of
these crania. In fact, the average
volume Of the thirty-six skulls, measured
with shot by Broca's method, isas much as
1549'1l cubic centimeters. Eliminating,
however, one of the skulls which of usual
size (2076 cubic centimeters,) and is OBJ
viously abnormal, the average is reduced
to 1881 cubic centimeters. But even
this figure is considerably higher than
the average of an ordinary series of
modern crania. In order to find skulls
of equal capacity it is necessary to 60
back to prehistoric times; thus the
capacity Of Solutre skulls is 1915, and
that of the type from the cave of
L'Homme Mort is 16O6'5 cubic cent?
meters. The development Of the murder
ers' skulls is not in the frontal, but in
the parieto-occipital region; and it ap,
pears to indicate q low intellectual
standard, with strong tendency to
powerful action. Most of the cerebral
characteristics presented by the skulls Of
these criminals are comparable with
those of prehistoric races A murderer
may be regarded as an anachronism, and
his character may be explained on the
principle of atavism, or reversion to an
early type. If a prehistoric savage
could be introduced into modern society
he would probably become notorious
criminal; on the other hand, if one Of
the brutal murderers of modern times
had lived in prehistoric ages, he might
have been a chief of his tribe, highly
respected.

UnthOught Of Statistics.

The Boston Transcript thus groups to-
gether some statistics of the kind which
almost evel Jbody might know if any one
took time to think of them. Allowing
two square feet to each person, the entire
population of Boston could stand on the
public garden, with q good deal of room
to spare. The entire population of the
United States could stand in Boston
proper (not including Brighton, Dor
chester and West Roxbury.) The entire
population of the world (now estimated
at 1,440,0O0,000) could stand on the
island of Martha's Vineyard, or in the
space occupied by the towns of Boston,
Brookline, Newton, Needham, Dedham,
Hyde Park and Milton. The state Of
Massachusetts, would in this way accom-
modate seventy times the present popu-
lation of the world. The entire popula-
tion of the world, placed side by side,
and allowing two feet to each person,
would encircle the earth twenty times.
The states of Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont, taken together, are as
large as Eng gland. ANY one of the
states of Georgia, Illinois, Iowa and
North Carolina, is as large as England.
Kansas is as large as England and Scot
land together. Ireland is about the size
of Maine. France is more than twice
as large England, Wales and Scotland
together. Texas is thirty-fve times as
large as Massachusetts,, and as large as
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Ohio and Indiana
combined. The entire population of the
United States could be provided for in
the state of Texas, allowing for each man,
woman and child, four acres of land.
The entire population of the world
could be provided for in the United
States, allowing each person one and a
half acres of land

The Heaviest, Tallest. and Oldest Men.

The tallest men of whom record is
made were German named Hans Bar
and a Hungarian soldier, name not
given, who lived several centuries ago,
each of them being eleven feet Ugh;
their weight is not known. The heaviest
man of whom record is made was Miles
Darden, the Tennessee giant, who was
seven and one-half feet high and weighed
over 1000 pounds; he died in 1857.
Daniel Lambert, the English "mass Of
flesh," was five feet and eleven inches in
height, and weighed 739 pounds. In
1866 there was buried at Bengal, India,
a man named Cugua, who claimed to be
$50 years CT age. The Oldest person who
died during the present century was a
Frcnchman in Paris, named Jean Golem-
beski, who was 126 years old. A man
named David Kurnison died in Chicago
in 1851, who claimed to be ll6 years old.

Indignant Ladies.

Two girls belonging to a church choir
in Los Angeles, Cal, got locked in the
church the other night while they were
talking over the fashions. They gave
the alarm, when a man living near the
church put board up to the window
and they slid down to the ground. The
most singular thing was that after they
had got safely to the ground they looked
mad and went off without thanking the
man, and they won't speak to him when
they meet him. He couldn't account
for it until he went to take the board
down, when he got slivers in his fingers
and scatched his thumb on a shingle
nail that stuck through the board.

TOO LATE.

Once your heart was mine, all mine,
Then turned from you away,
Dreaming not the love you gave me,
would crave from you to-day.
Weary years nave left mc-lcft me
With sad and aching heart;
Knowing now, too well, my darling,
linus; live from you apart.
Yet I'm weary, still so weary
Longing for your smile once more,
For the old love that you gave me,
And threw away before.
I have lived and waited-waited,
Hoping on from day to day;
Empty arms are reaching TO you,
But you never come this way.
Now my heart Is yours-au yours
AhI you turn from me away,
Wanting not the love I give you;
Loving some one else to-dayl

most singular Incidents of the epidemic They
were both taken down about the same tIme and
died within a half hour OF each other During
their Illness they refused admission to the
doctors and nurses sent them, and took no
medicine at all. They were prepared for burial
at the same time, and borne to their last resting
place together. The funeral presented spec
tacle that would nave touched the most callous
observer The procession consisted OF the two
hearses and an empty carriage following.
There was not single mourner-no one to shed
