Two Coed Court Stories.

Here are two good stories Of Pet
tigrew, Of South Carolina, the great
lawyer and Unionist. He was prac-
cticing one time before o Judge
who was o Presbyterian OF the
straightest sect and very hard-work-
ing officer. It came to be Maurdy-
Thursday, and Pettigrew and the Epis-
copalians and Roman Catholics thought
they would like an adjournment of court
over Good Friday. Pettigrew was Sc
lected to make the motion.
"Your Honor" he said, II desire to
move that the court adjourn over to-
morrow"
why should the court adjourn
over tomorrow when the docket
is 80 crowded." asked the Judge.
Because, said Pettigrew, "to-mor-
row viii be Good Friday, and some Of
us would like to 60 tochurch.'
No." said the Judge, decidedly,
after moments thought, .the court
will sit tomorrow as usual"
@Very well, Your Honor" replied
Pittigrew, adding, as he turned
away, II know there is precedent, for

Good Friday"
The same Judge was great stickler
Tor etiquette, and when one hot July
day Pettigrsw came into the courtroom
in black coat and yellow nankin trous-
era, the Judge took him sternly to task,
asking him whether he did mot know
that the rules Of the court required ito
councillors to appear in @black coat
and trousers" 1Well, Your Honor.
said Pettigrew, ianocently, II submit
that am within the rule, fof ! have on
. black coat and trousars.
: But they are not black trousers
insisted the Judge; 3black coat and
trousers means that both shaall be
black"
Then said Pettigrew, II call
Your Honor's attention TO the
fact that the Sheriff ofthis court
is in contempt Of its rules, for
they require him to attend upon its ses-
sjons in cooked hat and sword, and
while his hat seems 70 be cooked biz
sword certainly is not,s The judge

The Gas Meter.

The proprietor then led the way TO 4
bench at which q man was stretching
Overta hard wood wheel operatel by 4
treadle, strip Of thin sheepekin. The
edges Of the skin after stretching were
bound tightly to flint circles Of tin abont
eight inches In diameter
Those, said no. "are the bellows OF
lungs OF the meter by the expansion and
contraction OF which the gas il measured.
Technically speaking he continued,
the dry meter is divided into two
chambers by these flexible diaphragms
by the motion of which consequent upon
the pressure Of the gas the capacity
upon one side il diminished while that
on the other side is increased. BY
means Of slide valves, set on tin par
tition above the diaphragms and moved
by the action Of the latter like the valves
Of q steam engine, the gas to be
measured passes alternately in and ont
OF each space. You will see that a. the
diaphrngms and their connections are
moved simply by the pressure OF the
gas every portion Of the meter must he
most carefully made and delicstely adj
justed.
Now, suppose q valve leak or rust
hole occurs in the measuring drum, or
the leather becomes cracked, all Of
which would allow the gas to 20
through without being recorded, don't
you see that the company would lose :?
The only possible disarrangement which
would make the consumer lose would
be the contraction Of the sheepskin, by
which the diaphragm would work faster
and record more gas than was actually
burned. Every consumer should watch
his meter and compare the bills sent in
by the company with the index dial on
the meter to see il the amount OF gas
charged for corresponds with that re-
corded by the index. Many people are
unable to read the index. Why, am
unable to discover, Is it is the simplest
thing in the world to do. You see here
are four dials on the face Of this meter.
The upper one has nothing to do with
the consumer and is used simply to
test the meter at the facet The other
three are divided and numbered from
zero to nine. One indicates one thou
sands, the middle one ten thousands,
and the third one hundred thousands.
The hands on the dial turn rs on
clcck face. If the hand ON the hundred
dial is at one it indicates that 100 cubic
feet Of gas have passed the meter. II
the hand on the hundred dial remains
at one and that on the middle dial Is
at five it means that 5, 100 cubic feet
have passed. II the hands on the three
dials indicate, beginning at the hundred
dial for convenience, respectively one,
five, and nine, it means that 50, 100 feet
have passed through the meter. Should
the hands on either Of the dials be be-
tween the figures the lower figure
should be read. Should consumer
find that his meter has registered less
than the company has charged. by MAX
ing complaint at the Office the mistake
will be rectified. Brooklyn. Citizen.

HERO WORSHIP.

In the column you devote to "What
Others Say" under the caption Gone by
One the Idols Fall" touching on Henry
George aud his followers, a writer refers
to what he terms "the ignorant and
barburjc tendency to hero Worship
Now the man who is 50 Overpowered
by the sense of his own identity as to
pen such sentence as that ought to be
annointed high priest of egotism.
If | mistake not Thomas Carlyle is re-
sponsibIe for the doctrine Of hero wor-
ship; let lis hear what he has to say
about it and then see how far the terms
Ignorant and barbaric' are applicable:
''IIero worship is the summary ulti-
mate essence and supreme practical per-
lection of all manner Of worship, and
true worships and noblenesses whatso-
ever. X Hero worship, done diff
ferently in every different epoch of the
world, is the s0ul of all social business
among men, that the doing of it well or
the doing of it i'll measures accurately
what degree of well being or Of i'll being
Ubpre IS III Jnp WDilu > dlldlTS.
Hero worship, then, is simply the re-
cOgntion and admiration of 1cOfh in the
character of a man. The action of any
man and the character shining through
it must necessarily inspire one with
either admiration, Indifference or con-
tempt. Behold Luther befor the Diet at
Worms, John Brown fearlessly attack
ing the hydra headed monster Of slavery
with a handful of men, Albert Parsons
walking boldly into court in face Of a
whole cityful of fnnctionaries bowling
for his blood. There is heroism and if
my pulse beat quicker at the very
though of it ought | to be branded as
Ignorant and barbaric' in consequence?
Or what manner of man is he who can
look upon such actions with Indifference
and contempt? Is is not because we are
not hero worshippers that we become
the Ignorant and barbaric" slaves of
capitalistic greed?
Had the heroism which carried Parsons
and his compeers through to their last
heroic words on the scatfold found re-
sponsive echo in the breast of every
Nottingham, where would the power Of
capital have been to-day? But, alas it
failed to find an echo in all but a insig-
nificant fraction of the population, hence
"the degree of ill being there is in the
worlds affairs"
Is it not because we are each too much
engrossed in the alteration of our own
contemplate egotism that we fail to see
what little of true heloism that still sur
wives among u.s. For the spirit of hero
ism reincarnates itself in the men who
recognize it as heroic and only in such,
and this "goes marching on"
But. perchance, the writer of the
above ignorant and barharic' sentence
is hero worshiper in spite of himself
without knowing it. Let us hope So

FATHERS ADVICE TO HIS SON.

My son, have heretofore presented
you with copy of the Holy Bible. If
you study only one book let that be the
book, as the truths it contains are able
to make you wise unto salvation
| herewith present you copy of the
recent edition of Websters unabridged
dictionary. If you study only two books
let this be the other, as it is not only a
dictionary unsurpassed in the spelling,
pronunciation and definition of words,
but is also an encyclopedia of informa ion
in its vocabularies of persons and places
noted in fiction, scripture, Greek, Latin,
and geographical names, biographical
dictionary, quotations, pictorial illustra-
tons, etc, making it book to which
you will have occasion frequently TO re-

CRITICS CORNER.
MAN, HE-MAN AND SHE MAN.

To thc Uorkmcns AdcOc0te;
The article from chemist and Druggist
entitled "Nolapuk," which appeared in
recent number of your veIy interesting
paper explains the meaning Of word
which | had often wondered about
though had not taken the pains to learn
its meaning, ] have no objection to "A
universal language and think itwould he
a good thing, but | should most strenu-
ously object to such formation of it as
the following: "The Nolapuk role for
making the feminine is topretiy the mas
culine noun with il pronounced She;
we have, therefore, ji-man for woman,
ji-son for daughter, etc When we
have universal language sincerely
trust that man will not necessarily and
unqualitiedly represent herman. hope
the universal language will not shadow
forth the idea that the male only is man
and the female simply his adjunct or
dttdche or aftert thought. Let the race
name mnR represent the whole human
race as it did originally. as it still does
scientifically, scripturally and legally and
let it require prefix to indicate he man
as much as sherman. There is much ''in
a NAME" even though Shakespeare does
sly "a rose by any other name would
smell as sweet
The adult male man has so long repre-
scented the whole race, SO long monopol-
lied the name that belongs to every hui
man being, that he has at length arrived
at the point of inventing language in
accord herewith. ! hope all just and
honorable ones who do not wish to apro-
pirate as their own what belongs equally
to others will see to that Volapuk is re-
formed to the extent of acknowledging
the equal humanity of both male and fe-
male human beings.
