An Accommodating Judge.


There is In Idaho Territory Judge who
is well known as ''Alec Smith, A woman
brought suit in his court for divorce, and
had the discernment to select particular
friend of her own, who stood well with the
Judge, as her attorney. One morning the
Judge called up the case, and addressing
himself to the attorney for the complain
ant, said:
''Mr. H., [ don't think people ought to
be compelled to live together where they
don't want to, and l will decree a divorce
in this case.''
Mr.. II. bowed blandly. Thereupon the
Judge, turning to another attorney, whom
he took to be the counsel for the defend
ant said:
Mr.. NJ, suppose you have no objec-
ton to the decree?"
Mr.. M. nodded assent. But the attorn-
ely for the defendant was another Mr.. NJ.
not then in court. Presently he came in.
and, finding that his client had been di-
vorced without a hearing began to remon-
strate. Alec listened a moment. then in
terrupted, saying:
Mr.. NJ, 1t is too late. The court has
pronounced the decree of divorce. and the
parties ara no longer man and wife. But
If you want to argue the case right bad,
the court can marry them over again and
give you a crack at it.

A Story from Vermont,

Vermonters at least will appreciate this
seasOnable story of one of their fellow
cOuntrymen:
Ike Sloan was farmer, like all other
Vermonters, but wasn't exactly one of the
type whose "critters and vegetables al
ways brings more money than other peo-
pies. On the contrary, if there was any
difference between the price that he got
for his products and the market rate ii
was generally to his disadvantage One
day on his way back from the village he
complained bitterly to the people with
whom he gossiped along the road that the
store-keeper had abused him most shame
fully by giving him only cents pound
for his maple sugar.
But, gol darn him. said Sloan, with 6

The Chinese Question.

"From the present aspect of things
said a government official to-day, ''the
| Chinese question will be settled before
| long, even if congress continues to refuse
to give the pacific coast relief by passing
an act preventing the admission of the
heather into this country. The public do
not watch developments as closely as we,
whose business it is to keep posted; but [
can say that the Chinese question is fast
assuming very satisfactory condition.
You will rember that the last China steam
er took away about 400 of the Mongo-
ians; the Mexican steamship that sailed
the latter part of last week relieved US of
over two hundred, and the City of Sidney
which sailed yesterday, took about five
hundred more of them. For several days
past the Cinnamon have been besieging
the registration office for certificates pre-
paratOry to going home to the Flowery
kingdom. These comprise principally
those who have been driven out of the in
terror towns and starved out of San Fran
cisco on account of not being able to
secure work. Those who secure certif-
Gates say that they do not want to come
back here, unless they can be thoroughly
prOtected; but they take the certificates,
with the hope of selling them in Hong
Kong. The recent ruling of Secretary
Manning to the effect that no Chinese are
to be admitted on consular certificates is
another source of comfort, because it
resolves the whole question down to ad-
uniting them on custom-house certificates.
The habeas corpus racket writ is quite a
break in the monotony of the United
States courts. The general boycott which
is now being put in operation will bring
matters to focus very much faster, and
it is my opinion that there will be grand
hegira of heather before the beginning of
summer. These draughts on the Chinese
population, which is not being greatly
added to, assisted by the regular death
rate, will not be long in solving the all
absorbing problem. The greatest check
to this desired result in the manner in
which the Chinese are lately taking ad-
vantage of the situation by shipping into
the country from Victoria, British Column
bia. This little game, think, will be
stopped very soon."

Italian Eyes and Hair.

The iris of the eye of Italians is most
commonly chestnut; according to M. Man
tegazza, the proportion of such is 81 per
cent, the black eyes number % per cent,
the blue IL, and the gray 3. Piedmont
and Lombardy have the largest proper
ton of gray eyes; Venetia of blue. In
general the chestnut color of hair amounts
to II per cent; then comes the black hair
81 per cent; then the blonde, 3 per cent.
Though in Venetia it is s.. Black hair is
in Venetia. More than three-fourths
of the Italians have abundant hair. South
ern Italy excels northern in this respect;
in Tuscany the poor heads of hair prepOn-
derate (58 against 40 per cent. AS to the
beard the color does not always coincide
with that of the locks. While chestnut
preponderates this preponderance is less
marked; and one sometimes finds chest
nut locks with blonde, and more often
brown boards. Rusty boards with album
dant locks are most common in South
Italy. In two-thirds of Italy the natives
wear the beard short or are clean shaven.
This practice dominates especially in Tus-
cany (82 per cent?; the Sardinians have
most long boards go per cent?. Red hair
in Italy has been subject of discussion
among anthrophologists; some think red
haired persons are remnants of race
almost extinct, and which extenced to the
banks of the Rhine and into England;
others think red-hair merely physiolo-
gical accident, from which no conclusion
can be drawn. In Italy throughout, one
finds cases of red-hair. In one commune
SAINT Agata di Puglia, red hair is FREEDOM
inant. No explanation has been given of
the fact. Badness is most common in
Tuscany. In Italy generally of 10000
young men examined for military service
20 were rejected for premature badness,
and 50 for diseases of the scalp.
