The Wrong Roll In the Right Place.

The Wrong Roll in the Right Place.
A gentleman at Darien who had been
on a collecting tour returned home the
other night with about $1,000 in his
pocket. He locked every door, and was
so nervous that he didn't know wheth-
er he was foot or horseback. After
he and his wife had undressed and got
into bed, he got up and put the roll of
money int his wife's stocking. In the
morning when he got up he found his
money in his pantaloons pocket, and
asked his wife if she wasn't astonished
when she found that roll of money in
her stocking. She said she didn't ind
any roll in her stocking. He told her
that he put it in her stocking the night
before. She insisted that if he did he
must have got up in his sleep and taken
it out. He insisted on examining her
stockings, to see if any of the roll had
remained there. She thought she felt
something kind of binding around her
toes. Finally she took off her shoe and
stocking, and found haH-pound roll
Of fine-cut chewing tobacco nicely
jammed in about her toes. He said
that beat the deuce, and she said it had
taken the skin off her toes. That day
the man was very free with his tobacco,
giving anybody chew who wanted it.
When the people of Darien, who ecept-
ed his hospitaGties, read this, and know
that they helped chew that tobacco that
the lady had worn in her shoe for q
couple of hours, they will say words
that they ought to be ashamed Of

Too Clever to Live.

John Barretier is declared to have
been the master of five languages when
he was only 9 years of age. In his 18th
year he published learned letter
in Latin, and translated the Travels
of Rabbi Benjamin" from the Hebrew
into the French. -Four years later the
fame of his learning and writings at
tracted the notice of the King of
Prussia, who sent for him to court.
On passing through Halle on his
journey, he SO distinguished himself in
his conversation with the professors of
the University that they offered him
the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
The whole university was delighted and
amazed with his wit and knowledge,
and on his arrival at Berlin the King
honored him with peculiar marks Of
distinction, declaring that such abilities
properly cultivated might e1alt Barre
tier in ten years to be the greatest
Minister of State in Europe. But the
young philosopher was not dazzled with
such prospects, and returned to Halle
to pursue his studies. His health un-
fortunately gave way in his 10Th year,
and after lingering for eighteen months
he died; another illustration of the ex-

A Danger i'm the jury system,

The dry, cutting satire practiced SO
much by the cross-examining lawyer of
to-day is sometimes as dangerous in
court as it would be on the street. Once
upon a time jury was sitting on a
case in Southern Colorado. A woman
took the stand and was somewhat I'M
tremendously treated by the lawyers.
At last particularly dry and caustic
fellow began to practice on her With the
cross examination. Now, among the
jurymen was one gentleman who was
drawn with apprehension and fear of
consequences. He was a free, wild
miner, with no more idea of the restric-
lions of law and justice than buffalo.
He had twitched uneasily while the
woman was being examined, and could
only be kept still by being provoked in
to a whispered conversation with the
foreman. AS the cross-examination
reached particular point, he aston
ished the court by jumping up, thrust
ing his hand into his hip-pocket, and
e1claiming to the lawyer: "Hi, thar,
Mr.. Stick-in-the-mud!" This from q
juryman brought every eye in wonder

nothing, and proceeded: sack Nc
Cabe WON'T low no man to talk to
woman in that shape; not while he's
round!" The Judge rebuked honest
Jack, and he skunk into his seat, en-
barrassed but mad. The lawyer, turn
ing upon him with whitening scorn, be-
gan, enthusiastically: "Of what weight
with me is the opinion of an ignorant
juryman? +" "That's what thought"
said Jack, as with one boundhe cleared
the rail and wound himself around the
lawyer. Before a constable could reach
and separate the struggling pair, Jack
had macerated the lawyer so that he
was obliged to give up the case and go
home on shutter. The juryman near
~ cleaned out the court before he
could be placed under arrest, disabling
two constables and putting the crier
and the Judge to fight. Another ar
gument against the jury system.-Bos-

A Kentucky judge

@Some years ago." observed we'll
known criminal lawyer, Il had a case
to argue before the eccentric Judge
Cleary, of Kentucky. While waiting
for my case to come up I listened to
the trial of a brawny ruffian who was
accused of stealing two mules. he had
been caught riding one and leading
the other, and, though both animals bore
their real owners brands, he swore they
had been foaled on his farm and raised
by him. Every point of evidence was
against him, but he swore he was inno-
cent with enough oaths to scare an over
land teamster. The jury rendered q
verdict Of guilty without leaving their
seats. Judge Cleary asked him:

ment should not be pronounced on

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
While the winter SHOWS are dreaming
All the trees in spOtless white,

While the winter SHOWS are dreaming
All the trees in spotless white,
And the twilight and the freight
Refund my ingle
Blend and mingle,
And the night
Creepeth on apace, there towers
On my hearth a tree whose flowers
Sure are born in elm bowers
Far removed from mortal sight.
IT'S the king of all the cedars, -.
And its branches, green and fair,
With their weight of golden fruitage
Bend and glisten;
And listen,
While the air
Seems with benisons replete,
Which my lips and heart repeat,
Borne on incense weird and sweet
Incense sweet beyond compare.
Myriads of dainty baubles
Nestled in its branches are;
Ranks of shining, tinted tapers,
Flashing, cleaning,
Each one seeming
Like the star
Which through all the toll and danger
Led the mag ito the manager
Where was born the Royal Stranger
From the heavenly court afar.
AS the tapers, slowly burning,
Set in darkness, one by one,
And the troops of rosy children
Round my ingle
Throng and mingle;
While the fun
And the look of glad surprise
Fade from out their stated eyes;
"Tell us now" my princess cries,
'Of the Blessed Virgins son."
Little Princess Golden-Locks,
ThroDed upon my knee again,
Waits to hear the old, old story,
New forever,
Which hath never
Ended been:

Treasures to the Peasant King,
And the hosts in heaven sing

to the level of her foot by sitting down
on the floor. "The masculinity Of
man" says Mr.. Mill, 9triumphs over bis
foot; the femininity Of woman descends
to meet her foot. It is another illus
tration OF the fact that man is made to
rule and woman to obey"
Of course, Prof. Huxley has some
thing to say about the matter, but he
cannot be said to add to his reputation
by the theory which he offers in oppo-
sition to Mr.. Darwin's theory. Prof.
Huxley maintains that the eugencies
of feminine anatomy are such that it il
physically impossible for woman to as
sumo the position which man assumes
who takes off his shoes while sitting on
chair. If this is so, will that learned
gentleman please tell us what woman
does with one of her feet when she sits
down on sofa? And, if she can so
completely dispose of one foot when
sitting on a sofa, could she not with
ease dispose of 1t in very nearly SINH
lar way when sitting on chair? Prof.
Huxley has evidently jumped to con-
clusion without waiting to collect the
necessary data. BE may be extremely
learned in the anatomy of extinct AMI
mails, but he needs to attend a course
OF demonstrations at the opera bouffe
for season and to correct his ideas as
to feminine anatomy.
Equally inadmissible is the explana-
ton given by Chinese scientific per
son, who pretends that the weight of
the feminine shoe is such that it cannot
be readily raised to the height of
chair, and that it is, therefore, easier for
the wearer to sit down on level with
it. He had better not publish this
theory in Chicago, unless he limits its
application exclusively to the women of
St. Louis. It would be better for that
scientific person to let his hair grow
long, and to then go and visit
the Utes, then to remain within
reach of the women of Chicago
after thus referring to the pre-
tended weight of their shoes. AS for
the theory, it is, of course, utterly I'M
tenable, and probably has not one single
fact to support it. Indeed, it is only
mentioned here in order that it may be
hurled back with scorn, and nailed to
the counter as though it were mere
political speech.
When the ablest scientific authorities
thus differ, what are we to believe?
Probably the best thing we can do is to
take the broad, general ground that the
whole discussion proceeds upon a mis-
take, and that how woman takes off her
shoes is something which, in tie na-
ture OF things, Mr.. Darwin, Mr.. Mill,
and Prof: Huxley have no means, and
do not deserve to have any means, of
ascertaining.

HYMN FOB CHRISTMAS.

WRITTEN IN THE CHAPEL OF THE NANCE
A CONVENT CHURCH, BETHLEHEM,
PALESTINE.
In the fields where long ago
dropping tears amid the leaves,
Rath's young feet went to and fro,
Binding up the scattered sheaves;
In the fields that heard the voice
OF Judeas shepherd King,
Still the cleaners may rejoice,
Still the reapers shout and sing.
For each mount and vale and plain,
Felt the tOut b of hOlier feet
Than the cleaners of the grain,
Heard, in voices pure and sweet,
Peace on earth, good will to men,
Ring from angel lips afar.
While. ore every glade and glen,
Broke the light of Bethlehem star.
Star of hope to souls in night,
Star OF peace above our strife,
Guiding where the gates Of death,
Ope to fields of endless life.
Wanderer from the nightly throng
Which the eastern Heavens gem.
Guided by an angels song
To the Babe Of Bethlehem.
Not Judea's hills alone,
hdst caTCuS weary cleaners LrOG,
Not to heirs Of David's throne
Is it given to "reign with God"
But where'er on His green earth
Heavenly faith and longing are,
Heavenly hope and life have birth,
Meath the smile of Bethlehem's star.
In each lowly heart or home,
By each love-watched cradle bed,
Where we rest, or where We roam,
Still it's changeless light is shed.
In its beams each quickened heart,
Howe'er saddened or defiled,
Keeps one little place apart
For the Hebrew mothers child.
And that inner temple fair,
May be holier ground than this,
Hallowed by the pilgrims prayer,
Warmed by many a pilgrims kiss.
In its shadow still and dim,
Where our hottest longings are,
Rings forever Bethlehems hymn,
Shines forever Bethlehem's star.

About Women of rs.

The man who meets and loves the
woman of rs is truly fortunate, and she
is equally fortunate in meeting and low
ing him, says writer in a feminine
journal. At that age she seldom de-
ceives. She may not have. she is not
likely to have then her first sentimental
experience; but such experience at such
an age is more than sentimental and
rarely ever feeting. She looks back at
the youths she imagined she was enam-
ored of between l6 or 19, or often o..
and they are more than Indifferent or
repellant to her-they are ridiculous,
and in some sort she, as she then was, is
ridiculous to herself. She cannot but
be grateful to her destiny that her SYM
pathies and affections have been re-
served for a worthy object and higher
end. At Is, if ever, a woman knows
and estimates herself. She is less liable
to emotional or mental mistakes; she is
far surer Of her fortune, because she
feels that her fate is, to certain extent,
within her own hands. Not only is she
loveler and more lovable, broader and
stronger than she has been, but her
welded happiness and powers of endur-
ance are IN a manner guaranteed.
