The Accumulation of Judi
cial Reports.

Nh. James l.. High, in an article
in the latest American Lar Rerie,0,
repeats with greater cIearness of
detail than has been usual the GUS
tomary wall of the profession over
''the alarming rapidity with which
the reports are constantly accumu-
lating." He estimates the existing
number of reports actually consulted
bv American courts, lawyers, and
text-writers thus American, Estate
and Federal,) 2,944 volumes Eng
lish, ,433 volumes Irish, 165 vol
umes; Canadian, 164 volumes; total
4,706 volumes. TO these figures are
to be added a liberal allowance for
periodicals and digests. The aggre.
gate, large now, is growing at rate
which constantly accelerates. The
quality of the average reporters
work on the other hand, steadily de-
preciates, and even opinions grow
more prOlix.

HOW Gre assian Girls are
Made


The mystery Of the method Of
making Circassian girls has been
exposed in New York. Formerly
Circassian girls were esteemed a
great curiosity and were to be had
only at high prices. The early
museum rescued these girls from
Their captors and placed them here
as instances of what curious freaks
OF nature We're sometimes found in
distant lands, especially in the mat
ter Of hair The popularity of the
hair of the Crcassian girl. whether
native or manufactured, is that it
stands out at right angles from her
scalp in every direction, much after
the manner of the quilts upon fret
full porcupine. Recently the import.
alton of the genuine Circassian girl.
just rescued from the hands of her
cruel captors, has ceased. There
was no protective tariff on ladies
from CircaSsia, nor was there any
law similar TO that which has been
passed to keep out the Chinese
Science was brought to bear upon
the Circassiaus. AS with many
other great inventions and discov
cries, SO with this. Somebody hap
pened TO empty a lot of stale beer
out from window, and in its de
scent the fluid hit the head of
blond maiden who was not a Circas
sian, but just very ordinary person.
At once the effect on her head was
almost miraculous. Every indiyid-
ual hair arose and stood upon its
end, as If electrified, only with more
rlgldlty and tiXedneSS. 1t was found,
after making more experiments, that
stale beer could always be depended
upon as the basis of Circassian hair.
Forthwith every dime museum in
the Metropolis had a Circassian girl
of its own. A fuss is now being
made over circus man, who is said
to have tried to elope with one of
these homemade CircasSians. 1t is
said that his defence will he that he
was not running away with the
woman, but that he Was trying to
get away from her as fast he could.
His alleged reason for this is that
the odor caused by the combination
OF stale beer and hair makes such
unlovely perfumery that he was do
ing his best to place his nose beyond
the reach of it. The charm is all
gone from the maid of Circassia,
now that we know how she is made.

Natural History.

"What sort of bird is this?'
"This is an English sparrow. He
cannot carry off a lamb, like the
eagle, nor is he provided with teeth
and claws like the tiger, but he
leaves his mark all the same. "
How did he get here?"
"A philanthropist brought him
over from England"
"What is a philanthropist?"
Gle is Il cross between a lunatic
and an idiot"
"What did he want to bring the
sparrow to America for ?''
because he hated the country and
wanted revenge. 1t wasn't enough
for him that we have smallpox, yell
low fever, cholera, droughts, floods,
cyclones, and forest fires and grass
hopper plaques"
"What are the chief merits of the
sparrow?p
Ills beautiful voice aud lovable
nature. His song is so much sweeter
than a file rasping over cast-lron
that people have died after hearing
it.
How does he employ his time?'
In screaming, lighting and voting
early and often"
"Where does he build his nest?p'
I'm the corniceS Of houses. If he
coul have the use of 1000 tree rent
free he would turn up his nose at
the offer. He couldn't damage
tree any, but he can make 1t neces-
sary TO paint a house every month.
"Of what is his nest c0mp0sed?"
"Of everything he car handle, eX-
cept old oyster cans and empty beer
bottles"
Does the hard-hearted citizen
ever destroy those neSts?"
"He does. When the family
clothes line, or crow bar, or long
handled shovel is missing he pulls
down a nest and RECEIVERS the lost
article"
'SWhat does the poor sparrow do
then?n
He rebuilds "
''Can he be discouraged?n
"lf his nest was pulled down 3D.
600 or 10000 times he might COM
mence TO feel down hearted, but
those who have routed him out 500
or 600 times have not seen him even
change cOuntenance.
"What other birds does lie agree
with?"
The buzzard and the polecat. He
is too proud to take up with every
stranger who comes along He has
driven away our robins and blue
birds and lark and chickadees, and
even the hens are looking foranother
opening"
"Would it be wicked TO kill one of
these SparroWs?"
lawfully wicked. The philan-
thropists would raise such IA howl
that the killer would haye to skip the
country. Beside, you can't shoot
EN-, they won't be poisoned, and no
one has ever yet trapped one. A
man down in Ohio thinks IA blow
with a baIn-dOOr might fetch en-,
but it is as yet an untrled expert
ment."
That is all for this time. Let us
now lay away our books and sit on
the steps and listen to the ravishing
melody of the sparrow'S evening
song ."-Detr0it Free Press.

His attitude at that time made sort Of

were quite ready to come to pure and healthy
performances-a lesson that the stage has

Superintendent Nc Crea, of the Peun-

to conductors and engineers, directing
that when a passenger train is obliged to
stop by reason of an accident the fireman
must be directed by the engineer to at
once flag trains on the opposite track, SO
that persons who may have alighted shall
not be endangered by passing trains. The
order goes on to state that every effort
should be made to induce passengers to
remain OH the cars but, Us this cannot
always be done, care must be takep to
prevent such serious accident as might
result from the rapid approach of train
upon persons whose attention could with
difficulty be called to their danger at such
times.

gave one of their delightful concerts in
their hall, rear of the Knapp building,
East King street, and, as usual on Occa-
sions Of this character, the attendance
was very large and the entire affair a
complete SUCCESS. Indeed there is serious
talk among the members of providing
enlarged quarters, as the constantly in
creasing crowd present on these occasions
is attended with some discomforts. that
cannot be obviated otherwise than by Sc
curing more room. Nevertheless all ap.
peared to enjoy themselves thoroughly
the music was admirable and the applause
generous the dancing rs graceful as
might he in the close quarters allotted to
the devotees Of Terpsichore and the
good feeling continuous and sincere. The
concert programme is reproduced below,
and its uniform merit prec!udes the neces
sity Of other comment than unreseryed
praise Of the performance as a whole, and a
tribute in passing to the efficient direction
of Prof. Carl Matz and Prof. Surmann's S
skillful violin performance. This accom-
p!ished young musician is giving repeated
evidence of such thorough mastery of his
instrument that his coming among us can
not fail to be regarded as valuable ac-

Supposed Hotel Thieves.

Three young men yesterday registered
themselves at the Stevens house under the
names Of II. Merrill, J. Hubert Wayne
and George Clarke, all OF New York.
Their manner and actions created sus-
picion, and it came to the knowledge of
Mr.. Hiestand, proprietor of the hotel, that
Merrll's real name was Frank Mohler, and
that he had served term in prison as a
thief. Mr.. Hiestand requested the party
to settle their bills and leave. Two of
them did so, but the third left without
settling. They went to the City hotel and
asked for lO]sins-Mohler registering as IL.
Merrill, rs he had done ut the Stevens
house Wayne registered as J. Hubert,
and Clarke as Charles Perry. They paid
their bills in advance. Mr.. Hiestand hear
ing that they were at the City hotel, sent
an officer after the one who had failed to
pay his bill at the Stevens house, routed
him out of bed and got his money. The
trio left the city early this morning.

TIE superlative joys of the tiger hunt

to ensue from the report that emissaries

months spying out the haunts and habits
of congressman, with view of raising
the question whether the average Nor

inquire whether it is considered more in
accordance with modern civilization to
have two or three wives in public or half
a dozen mistresses in private. It may be
that no such investigations and discov-
cries have been made as are threatened, ,
but that the Mormons know their game
and that to point their guns will cause
as much fluttering as to discharge them.
In any event the rumor has led to a
pretty free discussion of the morals Of
our congressman which cannot fail to
have wholesome effect. We observe a
" Western Pennsylvania congressman -
is severely lampooned for his shameless
licentiousness, and we suggest tiat our
contemporaries would be bravey ii they
specified their man, instead Of implicat
ing every congressman from the western
part Of the state in their scandalous in
