How a LAWYER Lost His Case.

A San Francisco lawyer, defending a
promissory note case, went to lunch,
leaving his books and citations on the
table In the court room. The opposing
counsel sneaked back into the room and
changed the place of all those book
marks. In the afternoon, the lawyer
taking up his books, referred to the
court to his authorities. His honor
noted every volume and page very
carefully, and took the case under adj
visement. In rendering his opinion, he
said: 81 was inclined, after hearing
the argument of the counsel for defend
ant. to nonsrit plaintiff, but I find that
on referring to the authorities quoted by
counsel, none of them bear on this case,
and I am led to think that the gentle
man has willfully been trying to insult
this court. He has referred me to an
action of an Irish woman who sued the
proprietor of a monkey for damages for
biting her, to a case of arson, one of
burglary, two of petty larceny, and
three divorce cases, besides other mat
tiers, none of which bear on an action
to recover on a promissory note. Per-
haps the grossest insult to the court is
referring it to the case of Duckworth vs.
Boozyman. an action charging defendant
with breach of promise. Judgment for
plaintiff, with COSTS" The lawyer never
knew what the matter was, and to this
day, thinks the judge was out of his
head

plants cannot be cultivated while young,
and this early attention is very impor-
tant to insure a good crop. The fact
that the grain is sweeter does not indi-
cate that the whole plant is therefore
better. The smaller and leafy varities
of corn are best on account of the
superior quality of the finer fodder.
The Poultry Monthly says that
ninety pounds of grain is sufficient to
keep hen in prime condition for one
year. If fed as much as ninety-eight
pounds, divided as follows, the cost
would be about 81: Thirty pounds of
corn, 25 cents; thirty-two of oats, 35
cents; and thirty eight of wheat screen
ings, 40 cents. Besides this, if the hen
is fed on the debris Of the kitchen it will
increase the production of eggs, and she
will lay about ten dozen, worth not less
than $3.50, and will also hatch brood of
chickens. With proper care and at
tention, one hundred hens should be
made to produce an annual profit of
from ST.. SO to 81. rs each.
1T is often the case that COWS come in
after the grass had become flush, and
there is then danger that they may
have swelled udders, and that milk fever
or obstructed teats may occur. When
COWS coming in thus late are in good
condition, it is better to keep them off
from grass altogether, combining them to
the stable for two or three weeks before
calving, and for week or ten days after
wards. By that time the stiffness and
swelling will disappear from the udder,
and the milk will flow with freedom
They may then gradually be put out to
grass without injury. During the time
they are kept from grass they should be
allowed to drink all the pure water they
desire, as it allays inflammation, which
it is important to guard against at this
special period.
IT will soon be time to cut the early
crop of hay. There are number of
things to determine the proper time to
do this work; first as to the feeding value
of the hay. For this, as far as quality is
concerned, there is no doubt that the
grass and clover should be cut a trife
before the period of full blossom. From
this time on to near the end of blossom
ing, though there may be an increase in
the weight of the hay gathered, it is of
much poorer quality; the nutritive ele-
ments have not increased materially, but
there is much larger per cent, of I'M
digestible woody fiber. Secondly, the
value of the aftermath is increased by
the early cutting, as it has ten Or twenty
days longer to grow Thirdly, there is
practical advantage in cutting the hay
early, as it prolongs the haying season
and permits of less hurry and therefore
more care in gathering the crop. These
points apply equally well to the grain
crops, they being too frequently harvest
ed later than is best for the richest fod-
der and the finest quality of grain.

AN amusing incident occurred at the
last inspection of the Exmouth district
coastguards by the duke of Edinburgh.
The duchess and Lady Seymour arrived
somewhat before the duke, and having
alighted were advancing to the enclosure,
when q sentry interposed, assuring them
that they must not pass, but pointing
out spot where "they could get good
view of the duke" The duchess laugh
ingly explained that that was not what
they wanted: they wished to see the
coast-guardsmen. Before the sentry
could recover from his astonishment at
such misplaced curiosity an officer ar
rived and passed the ladies through the
barrier.

LIFE AND I.
BY ELLA WHEELER

Life and I are lovers straying
Arm in arm along
Often, like two children Maylng,
Full of mirth and song.
Life plucks all the blooming hours
Growing by the way
Binds them on my brow like flowers
Calls me Queen OF May.
Then again, in rainy weather,
We sit vis-a-vis,
Planning work Wen do together
In the years to be.
Sometimes Life denies me b!isses,
And frown or pout;
But we make it up with kisses
Ere the day is out.
Woman-like, I sometimes grieve him
Try his trust and faith
Saving shall one day leave him
For his rival, Death.
Then he always grows more Jealous,
Tender, and more true
Loves me more for being jealous,
AS AL lovers do.
Tho swear by stars above him,
And by worlds beyond,
That 1 love him-love him-love him;
Tho my heart is fond;
Tho he gives me, doth this lover,
Kisses with each breath
shall one day throw him over,
And plight troth with Death.

TILE EXEMPTION LAW.

In the many features in oar or
ganization calling for modification
there are none more glaring than
the exemption clause. We were
furnished by our very efficient
county clerk with the number Of
mortgages fled and recorded in his
Office during the last three months
and were surprised to find it so
large. The number reaches now S2l.
Counting nothing for writing them,
the expense attending the acknowl-
edging and recording of them
reaches in the aggregate 81 ,236. 1t
should be borne in mind that this
amount has to be paid for the priyl-
lcgos Of the exemption OF that prop
crty, Of which, through necessity,
tho parties have had to deprive
themselves. Hence, the law, as it
now stands, costs the poor, whom
it should protect, 81, ,236, not to put
themselves equal with others, but TO
live. But this expense, vast as 1t is,
is nothing in comparison to the dotri-
ment Of the poor who have to avail
themselves of it. When a man
mortgages his property to another
for consideration, for example for
supplies, he absolutely places him
self in the power of the mortgage,
for his credit is stopped elsewhere,
and from the very nature of the
contract it is impossible to agree
upon the price to be paid for goods
consequently the mortgagoris absO-
lutoly at the morcy ofthe mOrtgageo,
and is compelled to pay him his
own price for what he gets and to
take whatever price for his produce
he is offered. We would not be I'M
derstood as blaming the merchant
for this course, for it is his only
chance to secure himself and we
would here state, that as a rule, so
far as our observation extends, the
merchants are quite liberal in buy
ing the produce at fair valuation.
But, granting all this, it places the
poor man at great disadvantage in
particulars too numerous to mention
here. Il specific exemption would
work a great relief TO the poor poo-
pie. Then whatever q man ownod
in kind, subject to his debts, would
be basis OF credit for HIM. The
exemption should be reduced and
made specific; and then, if q man
owned $500 worth OF property, sub
ject to his debts, bis credit would be |
$500. As the law now stands, there
are but few mon in the country who
have as much property as tho law
allows them, and to obtain credit
they are often compelled to place
themselves in the power Of the mor-
cilcSs sharp5 who subsist upon the
distress of tho laboring classes
