Injustice of Witness Fees.

WASHINGTON, July 2i.-The attor
ney general has transmitted 10 the
house communication from the act
ing commissioner of the land office
calling attention to the great injustice
of compelling witnesses to appear ard
testify in United States courts in the
territories at present insufficient rale
of compensation (Sl.50 per day and s
cents per mile.) He says upon several
routes of trav-l witnesses are com.
PEELED to pay a rate Of ten cents per-
mile each way for transportation and
from 81 10 Sl.50 per day more for sub
sistence than the legal allowance 70,
such purposes. The effect is highly
Drejudicial TO the interests OF the
United States in the investigation OF
fraudulent transactions in public
lands and depredstions on public tim
ber, as ii is impossible TO induce per
soGs to admit that they have any
knowledge Of fraudulent actions

money 10 themselves.

A Fossil Continent.

II an intelligent Australian colonist
were suddenly to be translated backward
from Collins street, Melbourne, into the
tlourishing woods of the secondary geo
logical period-say about the precise mo-
ment of time when the English chalk
downs were slowly accumulating. speck
by speck. on the silent floor of some long
forgotten Mediterranean-the intelligent
colonist would look around him with
sweet smile of cheerful recognition, and
say to himself in some surprise: "Why,
this is Just like Australia. The animals,
the trees, the plants, the insects, would
all more or less vividly remind him Of
those he had left behind him in his happy
home of the southern seas, and the Nine
teenth century. The sun would have
moved back on the dial Of ages for a few
million summers or 50, indefinitely lin

and would have landed him at last, 10 his
immense astonishment, pretty much at
the exact point whence he first started.
In other words, with few needful quail
fications, 10 be made hereafter, Australia
is, so 10 speak, a fossil continent, a
country still in its secondary age, a sur
viving fragment Of the primitive world
of the chalk period or earlier ages.-Corn-

"wishing Wells" Of Northern England

An English writer says throughout the
north of his country there are wishing
wells, " where the passer by may breathe
his wish, land may rest assured of its
fulfillment if he only drop crooked pin
into the water"
This use for crooked pins must be gen.
orally known and practiced. Another
person says: 1T is scarcely three months
since l looked into the wishing well at
Wooler and saw the crooked pins strewed
over the bottom among the gravel" The
same thing is told Of others Of these
springs.
One curious thing about the practice is
that crooked pins are used. 1t may be
thought that such pins, being worthless
for any other use, were held as fit for this
idle ceremony. This is looking at the
matter from our point Of view, not from
that of the humble questioner.
The older and more complete cere.
mony is described as still TO lie witnessed
in Cornwall.
1.-TWO pieces of straw, about an inch
long each, were crossed and the pin run
through them. This cross was then
dropped into the water and the rising
bubbles carefully counted, as they marked
the years or months or days that would
pass before the happening of the event
which was of concern
Auguries were drawn from these crosses
in other ways. They were made so as
barely to float; then, "if the cross swan,
the thrower was to outlive the year; If ii
sank, he was to die within that time. "
Other matters were to he learned from
the position the cross took as it floated on
the surface. Youths Companion.
