How He Got Even.

A good story is told of the well known
engineer, William A. Sweet, of SYRIA
cuse. Casually meeting prominent
lawyer one day, brief conversation
ensued, in the course of which Mr.
Sweet happened to ask 1.-THE Judge"
what he thought of some question they
were discussing, without really mean
ing to ask legal advice in the usual
way. Soon afterward Mr.. Sweet re-
ceived bill from the Judge ''for legal
advice, 1000" which he paid prompt
ly without a word of complaint.
Time passed on, and one day the
Judge, who was also heavily interested
in salt manufacture, needed some me-
chanical advice about machinery which
was not running satisfactorily, and ask
ed Mr.. Sweet to look at the machines
and tell him what was needed. Mr.
Sweet looked them over for two or
three hours, and indicated the cause of
tho trouble. When he went home he
promptly made a bill out against the
Judge for mechanical advice, $1,000, !"
and the bill was duly paid, furnishing
probably one of the few instances on
record in which mechanics ever got
ahead of the law.-American MachiniSt.

Housekeepers' Measures.

A great deal of poor food, especially
cake and other recipe" preparations,
is due to inaccuracy in measuring. "a
pinch of salt or pepper, or other con-
diment, may mean four times as much
in one hand, as in another-quite
enough to entirely change the quality
and flavor. Teaspoons, teacups and
coffeecups now vary greatly. The old
standard teacup held just half a pint,
or, four to theequart, and the cOtfeecup
three quarters of pint, or, two and
twO-third cups to quart; but on test
ing several cups now in use we find
that of one pattern of teacups three fill
a quart; of another it takes five, and of
another six; while of cOtfeecups, two of
one set fill a quart and of another it
takes nearly four.
1t would be simple matter and a
great convenience, for any housekeep
er to keep always at hand accurate
measuring cups of earthenware or tin.
Let a teacupful or lumber full, always
mean exactly half a pint, and keep a
cup of that size. Or use Il small tin
cup-one with side handle being pref
cradle
Spoon measuring is more important,
especially in giving medicines. The
top is so broad and it is so difficult to
know when a spoon is evenly full, that
a "teaspoonful dose" of any medicine,
or of tlavoring extract in cooking,
may be double of what is prescribed.
The standard teaspoon, evenly full,
hold one-eighth of a fluid ounce, or
128 to pint; and standard table
spoon just three times as much, or AZ
to the pint. Sixty drops of water equal
one teaspoonful, but drops of different
liquids vary in size. Every family
should have ''Minim glass (minim
means drop. This is little glass
tube or cup having a broad base and a
lip for pouring out the liquids. There
are marks on the side and figures 10,
20, 80, 40, so, 60, for so many drops
the figure 60 making just a standard
teaspoonful. With this at hand one is
always able to measure off exact tea
spoonfuls of anything. In giving med
icine, such regularity of doses may
mean recovery of health. These glass
es can be bought at most druggists for
fifteen to thirty cents each.-A1aeric02a

The Last of His Race,

a good story was told us the other
day about a purse proud nobleman who
was travelling through the rural di-
stricts of Sweden. Over in that
country the people do not have quite
as much respect for the titled aristocra-
cy as in some other localities on the
continent. One day this nobleman came
rolling up to country tavern, and as
he stopped his carriage, he called out in
an imperious tone:
Horses, landlord, horses here at
once!'
i am very much panied to inform
you, my lord, that you will have 20
wait something over an hour before
fresh horses can be brought in," re-
piled the landlord.
Howl violently exclaimed the
nobleman, "this to me? Ny man, l
demand horses at once"
Then, observing two fresh and sleek
looking horses which were being led up
to another carriage, he said:
For whom are those horseS?n
They were ordered for this gentle
man, answered the landlord, pointing
to tall, slim individual few PAGES
distant.
I say, my man." called out the
nobleman to the slim gent, will you
let me have those horses if l pay you q
liberal bonus therefore,
Not much" answered the slim
gent, Il intend to use them myself
This to metz exclaimed the noble
man.
That's what 1 said" replied the
slim man.
Perhaps you are not aware who I
amp roared the now thoroughly
agltated and irate nobleman, Il am,
sir, Field-marshal Baron Geo. Spare,
the last and only one of my race"
l am very glad to hear that" said
the slim man, stepping into his car
rlage." 1t would be terrible thing to
think that there might be more of you
coming. | am inclined to think that
your race will be foot race Texas

American Mummies.

1t seems the Alaska Indians preserve
the bodies of their dead, but by very
different process from that used by the
ancient Egyptians. The corpse is bum
died up and put into a recess where it
does not decay, but is dried or desiccat-
ed. Four of these Alaskan mummies
have been secured, one for the Smith
sonian Institute and the other three for
the Berlin Academy. The bodies were
wonderfully preserved. A woman, ev-
IDENTIFY over a hundred years dead, was
in state of almost perfect preserya-
ton. The only preparation of the
bodies seemed to be the removal of the
viscera. The remains were then COW
cred with skins and taken to caves or
rocky shelters where there was no
moisture. Some of these mummies
were supposed to be several hundred
years old. The Alaska Indians of to-
day bury their bodies like other people.
Unlike the ancient Egyptians, who
embalmed ali their dead, these Indians
made mummies only of those whom
they wished to particularly honor

4 New Type Of Reporter.

The 90 ahead west is constantly as
tonishing the world by furnishing new
and progressive types of individuals in
every walk of life; but it remained for
st. Louis and Chicago combined to
produce cannibal reporter 1t APP
pears that two police reporters from
Chicago got into discussion Yesterday
over news in St. Louis, and one of them
bit the finger of the other so severely
that amputation is likely to follow We
have heard of biting sarcasm and
toothsome morsels of scandal in con-
nection with certain phases of journal
ism, but this is the first instance of pure
journalistic cannibalism on record.

The records division of the War
Department has recently come into
possession of an old scrapbook con-
tanning many curious relics of war
times. Among the evidences of how
the cOnfederates were sometimes
pressed for supplies of different kinds,
there are to be found in this scrapbook
pieces of newspapers printed on the
back of wall paper, also confederate
bonds printed on the same sort of
paper, while there are also some sam
pies of state bonds printed on common
brown wrapping paper.
