Fuller's ShreWdness.

They are telling the following
story in Washington to illustrate
Mr.. Fuller's skill as lawyer. 1t IS
said that one of his earliest exhibit
tions of cleverness which brought
him fame was the defense of several
Polanders charged with murder.
Fuller succeeded in getting them
separate trials, and then defended
them one after another. 1t was so
managed that the offender thought
to be the least guilty was tried first.
The trial was long one, but Fuller
ultimately triumphed and secured an
acuuital. The other cases were at
once called, when, to the amazement
of everyone, Fuller introduced in
their behalf full confession by the
one who had just been acquitted.
With circumstantial detail the criml-
nal told of the murder, making it
plain beyond question that he was
the guilty party. He could not be
tried again, as the law provided that
man could not be put twice in Jeo-
pardy for the same crime. At the
same time the confession cleared all
the other defendants.

English Novel Writing.
,ondon Letter, Philadelphia Times.

London Letter, Philadelphia Times.
A well-know novelist, hearing the
excess of psychological lore in her
latest publications eulogized by a
learned critic, replied with noncha-
lance: "Study, delving, laborious
scholarship, patiencel o, bless me,
no! picked it all up at Mr.. Chela's
at homes" referring to the standard
bearer in occultism. Not by dint OF
any one of these cliques is society
given tone, but in their Incorporated
strength lies it's value. Novel writ
ing is pursued as more lucrative
business than in America. The
whirl of life scenes provides material
for the fiction writing world. Those
who have a career prepared for them
aforetime, in state department. or
city office, go after 8 O'Clock to a
suburban house, where for the re-
mainder of the day and night they
are devoted to the trade of word
linking. And for those who find the
sweet village environs the only spot
supplying the charm OF restful retire
ment are annexed to London by a
priyate chamber, to which they come
daily to accomplish five hours unin-
terrupted story writing. This pro-
cess of fitting to and fro from FIRE
side to desk, from busy town to the
tranquil valley of the Thames, keeps
one ever within hearing OF the ora
Gle of civilization.

The Hardness Of American Half
Breeds.

The experience of the teachers
of the Lincoln Institution confirms
the views here expressed, that the
mixed Indian is more exempt from
pulmonary disease than the pure
Indian; and, further, that if the for
mer are attacked by disease they Of
fer greater constitutional resistance
to it than the latter. This view is
also confirmed by the large expert
ence of Capt. R. 81. Pratt, superin-
tendent of the Carlisle Indian School,
who says in his last report: "Our
experience is that the mixed bloods
resist disease and death from pull
monary troubles better than the full
bloods, and our best health condi-
lions are found among those we send
out into families, due, l think, very
largely to the regular occupation
and varied diet" Similar views
have been expressed by Others who
have resided among the mixed or
half breed races in the northwestern
part of Canada. These people are
said to be strong and hearty, long
lived as they remain in their native
climate. They regard themselves as
the equal of the whites, and lose in
patronizing way on the Indian.
Their families are usually very large,
and the female sex is said to be very
handsome. Quite recently ] had oc-
casion to investigate the question
whether pulmonary consumption
tends to exterminate the American
Indian, and then | found that nearly
all those Indian agencies which show
the lowest consumption rate are pre-
cisely those which contain the largest
number of mixed bloods. Of course,
it is just possible that the presence
and the absence of pulmonary con-
sumption in certain tribes is purely
a coincidence; yet l think from what
has been said concerning the i'm
proved physical condition of the
mixed Indian, it is quite evident that
the greater immunity of these tribes
from consumption is due to the fact
that they comprise a large clement
which has a superior power OF ward
ing off disease.-Popuiar Science
Monthly.

Boxing Their Ears.

The champion tish-story and a
fish-story it is, in every sense of the
word-comes from Cape Breton Is
land, and is quoted in the American
Magazine. Do we believe it? We be-
lieye that it is what we have called it.
the champion fish story.
One-half the stories which are told
of the catches at the fishing-grounds
in the vicinity of Whycogomah,
would fill volumes, but none of them
have reached the sublime height of
what is claimed for q small lake near
Guysboro. The narrator's hero is
himself.
He saws that one winter, being
tired of salt beef, and wanting trout,
for q change, he cut a hole in the ice
on the lake. He had evidently selected
a good day, for the fish took his
bait so rapidly that twas downright
hard work to keep pulling them out
So eager were they, indeed, that
they would often jump for the bait
before it had even touched the water.
Our sportsman was an inventive
genius, and decided to profit by this
phenomenal appetite. Getting down
on his knees, he dangled the bait
about foot above the hole, and
awaited further developments.
Almost Immediately a fine trout
jumped for it, and promptly received
a dexterous box on the ear, which
landed him far out on the ice. SO
numerous and so hungry were the
fish that the anglers hand was kept
constantly busy slapping them, as
they jumped for the alluring bit OF
pork which lowered over the opening
in the ice. Every slap yielded a fish
This continued until sheer fatigue
put an end to the novel pastime, and
the quantity of fish taken was esti'
mated at somewhat over four barrels

Children's Lunches.
From Good Housekeeping.

L uOOu lIouoohooPihS'
A child at play from morning until
night, in the open air, will make way
with an incredible amount OF food,
and be healthier for SO doing; but let
it rely upon the regular hours for
taking it. twill then enjoy the bless
ing of coming to the table hungry,
for that certainly is a blessing, as
those deprived OF an appetite can
heartily testify. Nor is it any sign
of distress that they are clamorous
for their meal to be served, their keen
appetites only assuring you there is
not much probability of complaints
being made of the dishes set before
them, provided there is always
enough. A prominent physician and
surgeon once said of his three children
who were then well grown youths,
and the picture ofhealth: "We never
allowed our children to lunch be-
tween meals, and they were all good
eaters; we never allowed tea and
coffee, and they were all good sleep
ers." All those same children have
since graduated from colleges and
are holding high positions to-day in
the professional world, robest and
of excellent habits, though inheriting
a frail constitution from mother
who died young. The annoyances and
discomforts arising from this habit
of lunclfing must be innumerable; the
interruptions of your time for read
ing, sewing, or socials calls, by q
hungry child, demanding attentions,
that will not be set aside; the untidi-
ness that must follow the prepara-
tions of even plain bread butter, for
one, two, or three children; the extra
step required from either servant or
parent, these alone make a strong
plea against such habit ;but when
we consider the violation of the whole
dietary system, and all the evils that
ofstands waiting to give them a grip
their punishment for their indulgence
we cannot help crying out against
the evil and urge "a better under.
standing of all laws of digestion, and
what is quite as important, Of ndl'
gestion.

he sent a note to friend the other
day the friend was shocked to read a
postscript which read: 81 am in a

further study it was discovered that
what Piatt had really written was:
II am in blessed haven of rest. "
He meant the Providence Hospital.
