BODY SERVANTS FOR THE JUSTICES


or THE SUPREME COURT.
Ono of the customs is that each JUS
tice of the United States Supreme Court
has body servant. The Justices get
money for their own body servants, but
the custom is otherwise, and the body
servants are paid $1,000 per annum by
the Government. Some OF the Justices
want to select their own body servant,
but they are not allowed to do it by the
other body servants, for the custom is
that the newly-appointed Justice retain
the body servant Of his predecessor.
The servants have never been known to
allow Justice to Violate this custom.
Mr.. Justice Woods, who was appointed
by Garfield, in speaking to some gentle
men of this custom, said: "My body
servant is the most annoying thing l
have yet experienced. The fellow is tho
first man l see in tine morning and the
asst see at night. He forced his way
into my room at the Elliot House, ordered
me to go down to breakfast, and then
asked me what l would have for break
fast, taking my order to the cooks him
self. l could not get rid of him in any
way. He haunted me all the time. 1
tried to find places to send him to get
rid of him, but he was back as quick rs
lightning. That fellow will be the death
ofme. Ihave this satisfaction, however,
the other Justices are tortured in the
same way" When Mr.. Justice Gray, of
Massachusetts, went on the Supreme
bench, he had an idea he would do just
as he pleased; but after a trial he finally
had to yield, and is now as completely
in the power of his body servant as any
of the others. He not only was not al
lowed to reflect man for himself, but
was forced to accept the services of a
fellow he does not like. They are death
on custom; they live on custom, and
not one OF the body servants docs a
thing different from what he did years
ago. As a rule, the body servants are
past middle age. The fathers and grand
fathers of some of them served in the
same capacity, for they never let new
man into the ring.-Hargovd Times.

SOME SEVERE WINTERS.

In the course OF the winter OF 1914
not only was the list OF persons who per-
ished in the snow o painfully long one,
but many animals were lost, particular
ly sheep. There were, however, some
remarkable instances of the latter being
rescued, after protracted intombment.
One belonging to gentleman in the
South Of Scotland was rescued after hav-
ing been buried six weeks. 1t was not
much the worse for its Imprisonment;
for, after little stumbling, it was able
to walk home before the shepherd, and
by and by was as strong as the rest of
the flock. On the 22d of February,
sheep belonging to farmer in Berwick
shire was dug out, after having been for
fourteen days intombed in the snow.
The great storm OF 1895 lasted for
ffty-one days; and on simultaneous
appeal being made to the coolest In
habitant in all parts of the country,
that venerable parsonage positively
failed to conjure up from memory par
allel winter, unless, indeed, it was that
of TAO. On the Thames, there was q
general suspension of commerce, and it
was said there were no fewer than 300
vessels fast in the ice. During the
months Of January and February, a
great many persons persisted in the snow
Or from the cold-and not few in cir
cumstances exceedingly painful. But
there was also very considerable cata.
logue of gallant rescues. We select the
following two examples of deliverance
effected by the agency Of the dumb ami
mails, that have always been among the
best friends of man. One day toward
the end of January, Norfolk farmer,
while returning home from the town of
Norwich, became SO benumbed by the
cold that he was compelled to lie down
in the snow. He would undoubtedly
have persisted but for his dog, which,
with a pathetic sagacity, stretched its
body across its masters breast, and so
protected his lungs from the cold. In
this position it lay for several hours, I'M
til at length, by continued barking and
bowling, it attracted attention and re-
lief.
An almost equal power Of discernment
was displayed in the following instance.
Abort the same period, while farmer
near Huntlycote was, with the assistance
Of his shepherd, relieving some sheep
from the snow-drift at the sideof bank,
large quantity OF snow shot down in
the form of an avalanche from the high
er ground, and enveloped the two men.
There they must have remained and
persisted, but for the sagacity of their
two faithful collies. The two dogs at
once scampered home, and, by their ex-
cited demeanor and continuous bowling,
aroused the suspicious of the women,
whom they by and by induced to follow
them to the spot where their masters
were buried. Arriving there, the ami
mails commenced to scrape the snow
and, the situation having thus been made
plain, the men were dug out, after q
confinement of six hours, of which, how
ever, they were not much the worse

Every man should mind his own bust
ness, and only that. 1t is hard to tell
him so in plain words; yet is one of the
simplest rules of conduct, and the most
useful that mankind can adopt in their
intercourse with each other. There is O
great deal of Paul Pry in the human
heart, or wonderful inquisitiveness in
regard to the personal and private affairs
of friends and neighbors. This spirit
makes more mischief in the community
than almost any other cause, and creates
more malice, envy and jealousy than can
be overcome in a century. Let every
man mind his own business and there
will not be half the trouble in the world
that there is at present.

LOVE and FILTRATION.

Love is champagne:
1t cheers one day, the next breeds pain and co.
row;
Filtration, though as sparkling, leaves
No headache for tomorrow.
Love is a debt;
You spend to-day, and pay the piper after;
Filtration is a dead-head pass
A fellow "doesn't have ter"
Love is a snare
With pleasant bait TO lure one to aprison:
Filtration gives a man the cheese
The rat-trap isn't "hisn.'
owe is a rope
That serves to bind an ass and post togetherI
Fhtation lets one range the fields
Without the CALLING tsther.
Love is, like faith
The evidence of things unseen, and by 1t
You're blinded so you'll never see.
Filtration? Well, just try It,

TEXT FROM THE BUDDHIST BOOKS.
All that we are is the result OF what
we have thought; it is founded on our
thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts.
If man SPEAKS Or acts with an evil
thought, pain follows him as the wheel
follows the foot OF the OK that draws the
cart.
For hatred does not cease by hatred
at any time; hatred ceases'by love-this
is an old rule.
Let a man overcome anger by love;
let him overcome evil by good; let him
overcome the greedy by liberahty, the
liar by truth!
Let us live happily, then, not hating
those who hate us Among men who
hate us let us dwell free from hatred
The man who is free from credulity,
but knows the Uncreated, who has cut
all ties, removed all temptations, re-
nounced all desires, he is the greatest of
men.
AS the bee collects nectar and departs
without injuring the flower, or its color,
or its scent, so let sage dwell in his
village.
When the learned man drives away
vanity by earnestness, he, the wise,
climbing the terraced heights of wis
dom, looks down upon the fools-serene
he looks upon the toiling crowd, as one
that stands on mountain looks down
upon them that stand on the plain.
Ii fool be associated with wise
man, even all his life, he will perceive
the truth as little as the spoon receives
the taste OF the soup.

Irrigation In India

Irrigation works in India, which are
generally acknowledged to be the only
permanent protection against the terri
bic and constantly recurring famines, ap.
pear from the official tables Published in
the Government Gazette to be capable
Of returning considerable profit. The
only exception is Bengal, where the ir.
rigstion Of 372, ,S60 acres at cost Of
70, 250. 900 rupees has yielded during the
four years under review, . return only q
trifs over lilo per cent. The Punjaab
heads the list, the irrigation Of !, ,423, 900
acres in that province yielding return
on the capital sunk Of . fraction over 7
per cent. In Madras the return is over
0 per cent, and in Bombay over 80.
These figures show that irrigation judi
ciously carried out Is profitable.
