How a WOmOn Would Act ON
the Bench
Norristown Herald.

Women Fighters who think their sex
should occupy the offices filled by men
should read a brief paragraph in the
New York Tribune, which describes
how Judge Cowing, while engaged in
trying case, felt something nibbling
at his ankle, and, bending over, seized q
mouse by the tail and threw him on the
floor with such force that he was killed.
Now, how would woman on the judi
cial bench have acted under similar cir
cumstances Why, instead Of Selling
the rodent by the caudal appendage and
dashing it to the floor, she would have
grabbed her skirts, yelled fire and muir
der and tried to climb on the roof of the
building; and during tile confusion
thus needlessly created the prisoner at
the bar would have made his escape,
and when the female judge had recover
ed consciousness she would have found
the fire department making prepare
tions to throw $4,000, 900 gallons of wa
ter into the court room.

Good schools.

Under this heading the Claiborne
Guardian says: There is perhaps no
country parish in this State SO we'll
supplied with good schools as Clai-
borne. There are permanent and -four
ishing schools at Haynesville, Summer
field, Lisbon, Athens, Tulip and other
points which we do not now call to
mind. These schools are all taught by
first class teachers. We know of moth
ing that is more creditable to the parish
than these schools. The people should
rally to their support and sustain and
encourage the teachers Not only
should the schools We have be sus-
tanned, but we want more schools, more
school houses and more professional
teachers There are few things more
important than the proper education of
the rising generation. We are pleased
to note that our people are beginning to
realize the Importance of this question.

George WashingtOn's Grand
father.
Baltimore Day.

George Washington, pere, the grand
father of his country, started out for a
days fishing. This occurred a good
while ago, gentle reader. On his return
at night his basket contained 1877 brook
trout, which averaged not less than
three-quarters OF a pound piece.
" Father" said young George, who
had been set to work cleaning them,
''who caught the beautiful fish %
My son" replied the old man with
great emotion, It can not tell a lie, I
did,
This little sketch is only of historic
value as tending to show that the inn
mortal Washington's taste for truth, if
inherited at all, must have come from
his mothers side of the family.

Among the practical disadvantages in
Cidental to the printing business is the
multiplication Of small Offices, with an in
sufficient supply of material and machine
ry, sometimes worn and battered out of
form, OF necessity, these establishments
compete, from "A vicious basis, by cheapcn-
ing prices dO&n to the level of their own
inferiority instead of holding up the stan
dard of their art and competing upon
grounds of comparative excellence and
character of work. Competition, stimu-
lated by Il proper perception of thedlgnity
Of the art, whether considered from the
utlitarian Orartstic standpoint, can alone
work out the prospective and possible per
fectiOns of this noble art
On the other hand, that competition
which depends for success upon the use of
the cheapest and poorest material and the
skill of immature apprentices seems To de
base the printer vocation To mere Strug-
gle for existence. 1t would be difficult to
enumerate the many evils and disadvant-
ages sprnging from this constant rivalry
between the grovelers on one hand and
those on the other who would advance and
elevate the art and create popular appre-
citation it, 1t is equally difficult to dis
cover an effective remedy for this condi
ton of things but it is probably better
that the line of separation between the
two classes should be made broader and
more distinctive still by contrasts which
cannot be overlooked.

The jewelry of Mrs. John w. Macksy
has been amply described in Paris jour
uals. Many of the stones are unique,
and the ornaments in general are said
10 be characterized as much 10y the ar
tistlc beauty of their workmanship as
by the splendor Of the gems whereof
they are composed. Foremost ~ the
famous set of sapphirss which was ex-
hibited at the Partisan Universal Elk.
ulbitiOn Of 1878. 1t is valued at $780, 900
and comprises diadem, bracelets, ring,
earrings and necklace, with a large
pendant. Next in beauty and value
comes the pearls, the set including the
diadem. The necklace has five rows,
the pearls in the lowest row being Of the
sIze of the largest huckleberry, and
those in the uppermost being larger
han large pea. Each pearl is perfect
in color and shape, the strings having
been composed with the greatest care.
The clasp is sapphire set with dia-
monds. A set of turquoises IN unique,
so large and fine in color are the gems.
They are said to surpass the parure OF
the same stones belonging to the En-
press of Russia. For the hair there is q
long garland of small fern leaves In dia-
monds, studded with diamond dew
drops. One bracelet is diamond sar-
pent that encircles the arm above the
elbow five times; it is formed Of a single
row Of very large diamonds, three hun
bred in number. These treasures are
not kept in the residence OF Mrs.
Mackay, but In a bank. They are con-
tanned in small closet of metal, closed
with secret spring. The interior OF
this chest is lined with red velvet, and
IL divided into three compartments,
each fitted with series OF numbered
trays. The value of the contents cannot
be far from 81 ,000, 900.
