Force of Habit.

The new court rule, requiring attor
neys to atand while examining wit
nesses, was put to severe test yester-
day by the force OF habit, says the Hart
ford Courant Of the 18th inst. Mr..
Hamersley, the states attorney, easily
complied with the rule when he first
addressed himself to a witness in the
superior court, but warming up with
his subject and having naturally warm
attachment for a chair, he dropped into
a seat without the slightest tremor, and
went on with his questions. Mr.. Sam
uel F. Jones, observing the operation,
quietly whispered to the attorney, who
caught the suggestion at once, and got
upon his feet. In less than minute
after Mr., Hamersley permitted, uncon-
sciously, the law of gravitation to get
the best of the rule of the conrt, and
had his legs comfortably crossed as he
again dropped into the chair. By this
time the jury began to smile, and Judge
Stoddard appeared to enjoy the situa-
ton. Mr.. Jones was again in the mes
senger service and Mr.. Hamersley took
the quarter deck in surprisin ely quick
manner; but he forgot himself in about
forty seconds, as he listened to the re-
cital of tho witness, and, becoming
deeply interested in the narration, went
down once more into the chair which
seemed to give him the welcome of an
old familiar friend. The jury by this
time was forgetting all about the trial,
and making figures on the odds existing
between the new rule and the states at
torney, while the court apparently
stood ready to decide that, up to that
point, the attorney had got further
ahead of the rule than ahead of the
chair. just as the contest was grow
ing interesting the court adjourned, and
when the court messenger left the state
attorneys chair was considering prop
osition to dematerialize and become
either a pin OF porous plaster.

our sister repubiics-by that means
American goods can be placed in their
markets and profitable trade estab-
ished. It would seem certain, without
any investigation, that we shall never
have fair show for our products down
there so long as the carrying trade is
absolutely monopolized by rival COM
rnercial relations. An adequate mer-
chant marine is necessity. In the
second place, it may be said that
American merchants must go into those
markets and personally take hold of the
business of introducing and pushing"
American products. The commission
will be able, probably, to make report
embodying facts and suggestions which
will impress Congress with the wisdom
of an aggressive" commercial policy in
a southerly direction.

HRS. 8 WTSSHELM.

By the death of Mrs. Jane Ct. Swiss
helm, woman of powerful intellectual
activity and wonderful moral courage
has been removed from the scenes of
earth. She was a great thinker, had
intelligent convictions upon all subjects
of current thought and discussion, and
possessed the ability to advocate and
defend the right as she conceived it.
Mrs. Swisshelm, who was of Quaker
birth and simplicity of life, was radi-
cal reformer, but not of the sort that is
styled "cranks." She was a woman of
undoubted mental power, and was as
logical in augmentation SIS she was hu-
name of impulse and generously CHAIR
table. The world has lost noble and
true woman by her death-one who
through long life has been bene-
factress. a practical reformer, and a
very earnest exponent of Justice, hu
manity and progress.

One Widow and Her Spoons.
From the Woman's Journal


There is now residing in Massachu-
setts a widow past 80 years of age, who
tells the following fact Of her expert
ence as 3 widow with whom the law
dealt. She married young. To fur
nish her wedding outfit she spun and
wove. With the money thus earned
she laid in stores Of useful things. Sill
yer spoons were among the articles
thus bought. By these she set special
store, for silver spoons In those days
were not found in every house.
1t was not long before this young
wife was a widow. Then the law which
had given all she possessed to her hus-
band, now interposed again to see that
nothing which belonged to the heirs of
the husband should fall into the hands
of the widow. The spoons belonged to
the husband; they would go to his
heirs. The young widow pleaded for
her spoons, and it was finally agreed
that if she would pay the money value
of them she might have them. Forth
with she began to spin and weave and
with the money SO earned she bought
back her spoons.
? By and by she married second time,
and again the spoons belonged, accord
ing to law, to the second husband. In
the process of time this husband also
died. Again his heirs were entitled to
the spoons and to much besides. But
the taking of these cherished articles
gave so keen hurt, that its special
pain yet survives. She still tells how,
for the third time, she earned the mon
ey with which to pay for those spoons,
and how they were conceded to her
only on her payment of their money
value. One Of her descendants of the
third generation related these facts to
me the other day. They are still vivid
to the mind of the venerable woman,
who dwells on the injustice OF the law
to women.
The spoons and the personal proper
ty of a wife Or widow now belong to her,
but the husband still has the life use
of the real estate of his wife, and her
children often live at great disadvantage,
deprived of what is rightfully but not
legally theirs.

SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

It is possible for the South American
Commission, appointed recently by
President Arthur, to do the nation a
great service. It has one duty to per
form-a duty of vast Importance and
involving a good deal of careful and
laborious investigation. Without a
doubt there is market In South Ameri-
ca for nearly everything that we pro-
duce in field and workshop. Other
countries now control that great mar
ket. English and German merchants
are practically in possession of the
traffic of all the states below the 18th
mus. Americans have been crowded
out and kept out. We have no direct
line of communication with the con
tinent south of us. Strange as it may
seem, passengers for many of the
South American ports must go to Liver
pool to reach them" The business of
this commission is to ascertain how to
secure better commercial relations with

THE CENSUS.

A curious feature of the last census
has been brought out by the Bureau of
Education-the fact that the number of
tax-paying Indians has in the last
decade more than doubled, and in the
territories the increase in this profta-
BILE kind of Indian brings their number
up to five times what it was in 1870.
The cause of this phenomenon is not
Lard to find, i icing undoubtedly the
result of the effort to educate the In
dams and render them in some degree
self-supporting. Our government has
spent many millions of dollars in more
or less futile attempts to bring about
this desirable result, and now that it is
being in some measure attained, there
is good reason for not only continuing
these efforts, but also for increasing
them. Our experience with feeding
and clothing savage Indians has never
been particularly encouraging; our eff
forts at killing them off have been still
more costly and much less satisfactory
the attempt to civilize them having
been almost universally derided; but
after all, these have produced more
satisfactory outcome than either feed.
ing or killing them. Economy is in
this matter not SO important an object
as the solution of the Indian question
in such a way as to prevent even the
possibility of the Indians being per
petual burden on our hands; but as the
experiment of teaching them has
proved even more economical thar
either of the other plans of dealing
with them, it has another and very
strong argument in it's favor.

Moved Himself.
From the Boston Globe. !

From the Boston Globe.l
Last week Gordon thought he would
move from his home in the Highlands to
West Roxbury, and having little spare
time on his hands he hired horse and
express wagon and took charge of the
transportation in person. About 9
o'clock in the evening he arrived at the
door of his new residence with load
of knick-nacks that occupied some time
in distributing. When he came out to
convey the horse home he found it had
already departed. To say that he was
excited is a tame expression; he was
half frantic, and dashed away toward
Forest Hills without his coat and hat.
After going to the owners stable and
finding the beast had not returned, he
hired a horse and buggy and rode
around to all the police stations and
notified them of the theft. Then he
commenced a systematic search of the
city. Soon after 4 o'clock he met a
night Waterman, who told him a horse
had been found near his place. Arriv-
ing home at 80 o'clock he saw the
missing animal hiGched to q tree in
front of the house. The horse had been
left unhitched and wandered around to
the back side of the house in quest of
grass while Gordon was inside at work
on the goods. When he wants to move
again he will let out the whole job to
some responsible party. It is hard work,
and person who is accustomed to 1t
can do it a great deal easier than a
r,OUioo

AMERTCAN WOMEN.

The Baltimore Herald has started an
alarm and threatens decrease in the
number of women. We have been so
long accustomed to the opposite state
ment of possibilities that this is enough
to take our breath away. In 1870 fe-
males exceeded the native males by
1855; ten years later the males ex-
ceeded the weaker sex by 300,668. Al
ready according to the census of 1880
there are $3.50 men who cannot mar
~ because there are just that number
of women too few. And it is estimated
that before 1880 this army of bachelors
will increase to 1,34O.OOO. In view of
the fact that a recent philanthropic ut
terance for the good of England was to
the effect that the best thing for her
would be the emigration of some
100000 women, it might be desirable
to invite them over here and send them
out West, where the greatest disparity
of numbers exist. India is now of no
further value as a matrimonial market,
but there seems no reason why the
United States should not answer the
purpose equally as well, except that the
deficiency Is in the least settled portions
of the continent and that English wom-
EN- show a decided preference for as
much luxury as can be obtained.

IS BURIAL HEALTHY?

A contemporary remarks that the
theory that emanations from cemeteries
are deleterious passes for nothing when
critically examined. The city of Lon
don stands upon soil that has been
buried in over and over again for cent
uries. Countless thousands have
mouldered away in that great city, and
yet it is one of the healthiest cities in
Europe, and compares favorably with
many cities here. It is so ordained in
the economy of nature that earth is a
perfect disinfectant. Before the custom
of preserving bodies in ice came up, it
was always possible to keep body up
on board by covering it with good sod.
The earth absorbed the gases and an
swereda good purpose. The sleeping car
spreads more diseases in single night
than all the cemeteries combined A
sick person can travel by it, and wrapped
in blankets, shut in by curtains, gives
off foul emanations all night, which are
absorbed by the mattress and pillows.
The berth is closed by the porter direct

POSTAL REVENUE.

It is estimated that the postal reve-
nue. of the fiscal year just ended fell
only 100000 below that of 1928.
The decrease, due to the reduction of
letter-postage, is reported to be "less
than the department expected" The
longest heads about the department,
however, foresaw that the loss would
be important. More letters of friend
ship are undoubtedly written than
when the rate was three cents, and, at
the same time, sealed communications
have tended to supersede postal cards
or open circulars for business purposes.
An increase in the weight of letters at
a single rate to one ounce would work
the same way. The population of the
country, moreover, is rising at the rate
OF 100000 annually, so that the reve-
nue. Of the government from every
source, taxation remaining constant,
ought to grow continually and quite
regularly.

people were poisoned last night at No.

dead, one is supposed to be diving. and
the other three at a late hour are
thought to be out of danger. They
are Annie Kelley, aged II, who is dead:
Thomas Moran, aged 80; Daniel Gala
gher,aged2 9 /; Mrs. Keley,ag sc. who is
dying, and Mrs. Bridget Boyle, aged 45.
They all lived in the same house. At6
o'clock last evening Thomas Moran
said: II wish supper was ready. Pm
hungry" Mrs. Kelley picked up box
of pills, and, tossing it to Moran, said,
with alaugh: "There, eat thoseif you are
hungry" "Oh, I can eat those"
replied Moran, and he swallowed
a handful and dared the others
to swallow some, and they all did SO.
They thought the little pills harmless.
Five minutes later they sat down TO
supper, and soon were in spasms. They
became unconscious. A neighbor gave
the alarm and restoratives were applied.
Annie Kelley was beyond help, and Mrs.
Kelley will hardly live throughout the
night. A mob of a thousand people
gathered about the place and great ex-
element prevailed.
