Judges Who Wear Gowns and Pay
Their Clerks $4,000 Year.

1t is not true, the attaches of United
States Supreme Court say, that any of
the Justices have had gowns made in
Paris by Worth. They are all home
made, and have all been made by one
family of people for nearly forty years.
Zach Chandler had very poor opinion
Of these gowns, for it is said of him
that he once said to Salmon p. Chase.
former Chief Justice: tSalmon, when
you have your id old jacket on you look
every inch a judge" There is no reason
why one of these gowns should be called
jacket, for the skirt reaches the floor.
The gowns are put on the Justices In
what is called the robe room, adjoining
the court, at five minutes to IL o'clock,
for the judges never go upon the bench
until high noon. Then, after the Mar
shal's deputy sings his song about s'God
bless the United States and the Justices
of this court, or words to that effect.
the arrival of the justices having been
previously announced, they take their
seats and are ready for business.
The clerkship of the COURTS worth more
than the salary of four of the Justices,
as it is said to frequently pay over $4O,-
600 per year. Tue charges are simply
terrible. 1t costs about dollar for the
clerk to look at you, and another dollar
to get out Of his sight. They have
little talk then of keeping the decisions
back as long as possible, often couple
of months, and In the mean time if any
one wants copy of the decision it costs
So for each page of one hundred words.
There is no good reason why the decis-
ions should not be put in type the day
they are delivered, and furnished as the
debates of Congress are furnished, the
day following; but this was not the
practice sixty years ago, and they never
do anything about the court except in
the time-honored but excessively slow
way. This, all agree. would be great
convenience, but it would take $1,000
year out of the fees of the clerk, and
of course it is not done. Several times
bills have been prepared for introduce
ton III Congress on the subject, but
somehow nothing was heard of them
afterward. Those who proposed them
were convinced that it was not the Gus
tom, and they let the matter drop. The
Supreme Court has always held that
every bill relating to the court must
first be sent to them for inspection, and
strange as it may appear, they have
always carried this point in their respect.

Very few persons are aware of the ex-
tent to which some of the seemingly tri-
fling articles of trade are dealt in. Gel
cry is vegetable which apparently re-
ceiyes but little attention from the pub
lie, and still the trade in this article
amounts annually to many thousands OF
dollars. While many use it for its med
icinal qualities. its well-known effect on
the nervous system causing it to be
highly priced, others, and by far the
majority of the consumers, consider it a
luxury, fit only for the wealthy. Few
are aware that one third of the celery of
commerce is thrown away as useless.
All the coarser parasitic outside stalks
and the greener portion of the stalk-all
in fact that is unfit for the celery glass
can be utilized by cutting into short
pieces, cooking and serving in precisely
the same manner as asparague. AL
housekeepers who try it never after
waste any of their celery.

IMMORAL STORIES.



That is To Say, stories without Morals.
There could be no question but that
John could make a better shoe than
James. A shoe made by John would
outlast two made by James but James
had a happy way of knocking leather
together which produced work fair to
look upon. A customer buying pair of
Johns shoes came. not again for year
or more, because of the durability of
the shoes but he who purchased pair
made. by James came again quickly.
The employer of the two men, perceiying
this, sent John about his business and
rewarded James with increased wages.
John had a genius for making shoes,
but James possessed tact. This was the
difference between the two men.
II.
Henry was walking along the street
one day, when he was accosted by gen.
tleman who had lost his pocketbook.
Inasmuch as Henry had been seen by the
gentleman twice before that day, and
because Henry's clothing was inelegant,
the gentleman accused Henry of the
theft. Henry was arrested, and upon
being brought into court, where the
gentleman repeated his charge, Henry
was sentenced to the State Prison. Dur
ing the five years of his confinement,
Henry was happy, not only in the
thought that he was innocent, but also
in the blessed reflection that he did not
so far forget himself, either at the time
Of his arrest or during his trial, as to
contradict. Henry had always been told
not to contradict, and he never did.
III.
Charles spent all his time reading, so
that in time he came to know more than
[ can begin to tell you James, on the
contrary, read little or nothing. But
James had the gift of CAB. To be sure,
he had nothing to say, and although he
continually kept saying it, nobody was
obliged to listen. Charles, notwithstand-
ing his comprehensive knowledge, seldom
spoke. If Charles had been endowed
with loquaciousness, his friends would
have been obliged to listen, which would
have awakened interest among the peo-
ole who are more proficient with their
mouths than their ears. Charles is in
receipt of $4,000 per year: James
wealth is of mental rather than Pc
cuniary variety. His wealth will be
buried with him. James wealth will go
to his heirs, ii there be any when he
leaves.
Adolphus is a good boy. He never
qHarrels. Rather than fight, he would
permit any indignity to be heaped upon

disposition. This propensity has become
SO intense that when heplays at marbles
the other boys allow him to beat them.
They would rather be beaten in the game
than In another way. Adolphus, how
ever, is so peaceable that the boys
cheat him right along they knock of
his hat, and play all sorts Of practical
jokes upon him. Adolphus is a good
boy, and is the cause of much pleasure
to his mates while Richard gives them

The kissing Deacon.

In one our puritanical towns of New
England, says an eastern paper, lived
Deacon Brown, very staid, dIgnified
sort of Christian, and perfect model
of propriety. Deacon Brown lad the
misfortune to lose his wife and at the age
of forty found himself with family of
four small children, without mistress
to his farm house. As he could not i'm
mediately take another wife and avoid
exciting scandal, and could not get along
without scme one to take care of the
kitchen and nursery, he had recourse to
employing young woman as house
maid. Nancy was laughing, ronlping
girl, whose delight in experimenting up
on the deacon who was invulnerable; but
at last III a moment of unguarded weak
ness he was led into temptation, and in-
to committing slight indiscretion with
his beautiful housemaid. When in his
wonted presence of mind, he was horri-
fed at the enormity of his sin. In vain
he gsieved over lost virtue. Finally, as
a last effort for relieving his conscience,
at the conclusion of the services on the
following Sunday, he arose and request
ed the forbearance of the brethren and
sisters few minutes, when he electri-
fed them by making the following con-
fession:
my Christian friends, you all know
that lost my dear wife some months
ago, and that Nancy Stearns has been
keeping house for me; and you know I
have little child not year old. Well,
that child would cry in che night, and ii
would be long time before I could
quiet it; and last Tuesday night-God
forgive me!-the child cried so bad that
Nancy rose and came into the room,
and leaned over the bed to hush the
child-and brothers and sisters, her
leaning over made me forget Christi
"What did you do?" sternly demanded
the minister.
'1-I-ki-kissed her!" stammered
out the deason, between his sobs, shut
have been very sorry about it, and have
prayed to be forgiven-and I want you
to forgive me and pray for me, brothers
and sisters"
As the deacon bowed himself upon his
seat like the mighty oak before the tor
made, Deacon Goodfellow rose, and as
tonished the audience still more by say
ing:
brothers and sisters, you have heard
what Deacon Brown has said, and now
he wants our forgiveness. For my part,
I Think Brother Brown is truly penitent,
and am willing to forgive him with my
whole heart And brothers and sisters.

Geraniums in the Window.
New York Start

81
It is very rare to see a we'll grown gera-
mum in window culture. Even if the
plants bloom fairly, they are often
drawn up, misshapen things, not pleas
ing to look upon. In the majority of
cases, plants that have been set out in
the garden for the summer, are allowed
to ''go as you please" The roots find
ing an abundance of rich soil, the tops
grow off at famous rate. At the ap-
proach of cool weather the plants are
taken up as they stood;if any cutting is
done, it is at the roots, to bring them
within the limits of apot, and the plants
are placed in the window. As a conse-
cuence of such treatment, the majority
of the leaves fade and. fall, and shows
lot of long, lanky stems with a small
tllft Of leaves at the top. This condition
of the plants is due either to lack of
knowledge or to timidity. Amateur
cultivators, as general thing, seem to
fear to use the knife; could the plant
suffer pain they would not be more
reluctant to cut. The proper method is
to prepare the plants for taking in long
before the time for lifting them; but it
is too late to advise that, as it is to sug-
gest pruning them at the time of taking
them up. Even at this late day it is
better to cut back the geraniums to
good shape than to let them remain as
they are. OF course, each plant will
have its own needs in this respect, and
only general advice can be given. Cut
back the long stems in such manner
| that the plant will form low rounded
head, and remove altogether such bran
ches as viii make the head too much
crowded. s
