Judge Ranney, of Massachusetts,, who
has been conducting h Panel-ectric in
vestigation, has jumped into national
prominence. He is known in Boston as
one of the most noted lawyers in New
England. A friend of his tells me that
he can make 800, COO a year at his prac-
tice, and that he is inspired with the
genius of the law. He has a wonderful
faculty of carrying all the points of a
case i'll his head. You may mix up a
mass of testimony into Il hodge
podge made up of ~irrelevancies, and pour
it into Ranneyis brain. As soon as it
gets there it becomes filtered. The
refuse and irrelevant things vanish, and
order comes out of the chaos. Each fact
seems to drop into its proper class, and
out of nothing comes an analytic
whole. Judge Ranney has a cur
When he is looking up a case
and reading the papers in it he notices
nothing going on around him, and when
he comes to a point which he wants to
remember, he writes it down on a piece
of paper. He does not keep the paper or
pay any attention to it. The writing OF
it down fixes it as indelibly in his mind
as though he had stenciled it upon his
brain. After he has been reading
through the different parts of the house
you may find his footprints in the notes
of memoranda on the members desks
at which he has been sitting. He makes
notes any place and always leaves them
just where he makes them.-"Carp' in

In connection with the labor squabbles
which appear to be the rage just now In
almost every trade, it is singular Thai no
n has suggested a trial of the English
system, which requires notice on both
sides of the termination of an engage
ment. The period of the notice varies
from seven days to a month. Under no
circumstances can a man leave his EN-
ploy without giving notice, except by mu'
tual consent, with regard to which there
is seldom any difficulty in cases of emer'
gency. If he leaves without notice he is
liable to be proceeded against summary
in the local police court, and the dam
ages sustained by his late employer are
assessed by the stipendiary magistrate,
the amount, with costs, being recover'
able by distress, with imprisonment In
default.
On the other hand, a "boss" can not
discharge a hand without notice except
for gross misconduct, immortality, or the
like, and it has even been held that gross
insolence does not provide adequate
grounds for summary dismissal.ETc

charged man for the period of notice

Recent experiments have determined
the existence of veins in connection with
the bronchial glands. 1t is, therefore,
easy to conjecture how foreign particles
may be carried into the general circula-
ton and set up disease in remote organs.
Another reason is thus furnished, if any
other were necessary, for insisting on
the thorough cleansing and watering of
the streets. The dust of city streets
abounds in animal life, and the molecu-
lar activity of these organisms varies ac-
cording to the height at which the dust
is collected. Unfortunately, five feet is
the height at which they are most active,
about ON a level with an ordinary foot
passengers mouth. Thus these moving
organisms are always in waiting to be
devoured before our very faces. In this
manner many diseases doubtless propa-
gate themselves, and the history Of
plaques and pestilences in cities seems
Invested of some of its mysteries.-Chi

remedy for this, or one which will largely

The Pail Mall Gazette tells OF a remark
able custom existing among the Rouman'
ians living in the westerly Carpathians.
Every year, at the feast Of the Apostles
Peter and Paul, a market is held oil the
crest of the Gaina, from 5000 to 5000
feet above the level of the sea-, and here
the marriageable girls of the district as
semble with their parents in order to be
viewed and claimed. Mothers, aunts,
grandmothers, and various female friends
contribute to the dowry, and this com
pleted it is carried to the market. Cattle,
bees, and other household requisites are
added to the dowry. On the Gaina
every family occupies a distinct tent, in
which the dowry is exhibited, and in
which the bride-viewers are expected.
The bachelors, too, are accompanied by
parents or relatives. The young men
bring the best they possess, and each
must particularly come with a girdle OF
gold or silver. After the brides are
chosen the public betrothal takes place.
The mark of betrothal is not a ring, but
a beautifully embroidered handkerchief.
