Why Won't Mem be Sincere With Them.
. SAlvaS


It is the custom OF many persons to
purchase, at the close of each year,
"diaries," in which they propose to set
down their daily thoughts and acts-to
write, in fact, their own private histories
in o series of annual volumes.
As these autobiogrsphical memoranda
are only intended for the eyes Of the
parties who commit them to paper, it
might be thought that they would be
candid and authentic. But this is seldom
the case. Few men are entirely sincere,
even with themselves. Few are willing
to paint themselves as they really are and
know themselves to be. even though none
but themselves can contemplate this
picture.
Unquestionably, hundreds OF individ-
uals who keep diaries tell fibs, overreach
their neighbors, are guilty of detraction,
repay good with evil, put an enemy in
their mouths to steal away their brains,
use protane language, and IN other ways
trangress the moral law. Yet were all
the diaries 10 existence published to-
morrow, no such entries as, "today lied"
"today I cheated in business;" "today /
,slandered;" "todsy was guilty of base
ingratitude;" "tonight staggered home
tipsy;" today 1 blasphemed" would be
found in any one of them.

Some Odd Ideas of Crime

Did you ever stop to think of the alb
surdity of this thing we call "crime
against society,"? Some one breaks into
your house, steals your moneY-the saw
ing of years-and leaves you helpless. Or
some one gets you to endorse his note,
leaves you to pay it, and ruins you finan-
ciallY. This is called an offence against
society, the man is dangerous and must
be punished and restrained. He is sent
to prison for twenty years-so ss to give
him ample time to repeut-set to work,
and the proceeds OF his labors taken by
society. Where are you? You are really
the one against whom the offence was
committed-You are the only sufferer. Why,
then, not let the earnings of his labor go
to reimburse you? That seems so simple
a rule of justice that the wonder is idiots,
let alone law-givera, have not seen it long
since. But they havn't, and they won't
as long as we allow men who live by
teaching such stuff to do our thinking and
law-making for US. Even a savage, a
barbarian, knows better than this. This
"crime against society" is like the old
fiction of "a sin a. gaiust God" You go to
hell for one and TO the penitentiary
for the other, when in fact the only
"crime" committed is against the man
who suffers the injury, and the ouly sin
committed is against our fellow-man who
suffers.-Kaasas City Times.

Legal Reform.

The American public is at last looking
up to the great question of Law Reform,
and this time it comes from the Bar itself.
The Atlanta Constitution has this to say
on the last movement:
"a movement has been projected by the MEM
bers of the Pittsburg Bar Association to reform
legal verbiage. That this is move in the right
direction no one will be disposed to doubt. The
written law of to-day is mass of useless repeti-
tions, and an ordinary deed conveying an acre OF
ground is SO tangled in tortuous labyrinth of
words as to cover more ground than the acre
ITSELF and is almost unntelligible to the ordinary
man. The law must be explicit, of course, but
meaning in cloud of words, and a deed of
sixty foolscap pages could be set forth clearly in
six, while they spin their mortgages out to in
terminable lengths.
The law needs improvement in more ways
than one, but in no department more than this.
If legal expressions were simplif1ed and alb
breviated it would be better for the lawyers and
their clients and for the Courts, whose proceed
ings "loDg drawn out" are dreary, monotonous
and wearying to the flesh.
Some of the best lawyers in the country agree
that reform is necessary, and are willing to
it; but on this line the Pittsburg Dispatch
which is heartily in favor OF the movement, says
that there are difficulties in the way. and that
the change will have to be made very carefully;
and it is the opinion of learned Judge that a
test case should be gotten up and the Supreme
Court should pass on it.
1t is worth test, and they will be wise to
make it"

What is a Hero I?

The man who does a noble deed and
accepts material compensation for it is
not hero. A case 10 instaIce recently
occurred wherein q child was saved from
drowning through the courage of man.
The child's aunt, a wealthy woman, pres
ent at the time, gave him silver dollar;
a stranger, unknown to all the parties,
presented him with FIVE dollars. He ac-
cepted both gifts. No matter how poor
he may have been, no matter how munii-
cent the beggarlY compensation of the
aunt and the comparatively prodigal gift
him, he would, if be had been q real hero,
have declined them both. A generous or
heroic deed imposes no obligation-it
stands for itself. The hope of reward de.
files heroism and converts it into hire and
salary. The fireman who pushes through
heat and flames to save q life, with no
thought save that of duty and humanity,
is hero. If he perish his family will be
provided for; if he survive he finds his
compensation in having done his duty.
A greater hero still is he who lives for
others and sets his self-abnegstion at q
pins fee, looking only to the deep, dim
but generous, though ofttimes spectral
realm OF perfect MANHOOD. Inc most In
glorious spectacle in our country is the
pension system, whereby thousands oi
men who simply did their duty have now
shrunk to the little measure of money

Probably no large body of men ever more

countersd the contempt of the world thar
the Grand Army of the Republic, which
not only accepts but resorts to all the chi
canery of the mountebank to acquire

the incipiency of the war, they pro
claimed it was worth their lives to pre-

of contempt. Ere history shall write

An Eagle fought By a Ram.

On Wednesday of last week. while
Farmer BeDjamin Shiffer of Tunkhannock
township, Monroe county Pa, vas plough
ing on q side hill. an eagle attracted his
attention far up in the sky. The big
bird was lowering over field on the low
lands, where Farmer Shiffer's little flock
of sheep were confined, and in a short
time after he had discovered it the eagle
swooped down upon the lot and attempt
ed to carry off helpless lamb that eve
had given birth to only little while be-
fore. The mother sheep was licking her
lambkiu, and the eagle missed its aim and
struck the eve, knocking her down.
Before the eagle had time to recover
itself a big Southdown ram, the only one
in the flock, backed off lew feet, and
then ran swiftly toward the ponderous
bird He hit the eagle in the breast and
keeled II over, instantly backing away tor
another butt. The eagle rallied quickly,
aud when the ram sailed toward it again
with his head lowered, the savage bird
hoped from the ground, fastened its hus e
claws into the wool on the spunkY sleeps
neck, and began to beat the ram with it's
great wings. The ram bl-ated loudly,
and ran this way and that until he had
shaken the eagle off. The ugly bird had
tutt of wool 10 each claw when the ram
got rid of it, but instead OF soaring away
it arose a few feet and then darted at the
young lamb again. The eve tried to keep
the eagle away by stamping, but the ap-
parentIy hungry bird paid no attention to
the mother sheep, grabbing the helpless
lamb in one of it's talons.
The old ram was still gritty. He gave
the eagle a tremendous butt in the side
with his hard head, and tho determined
bird lost it's balance but clung to the
lamb. Before it could recover itself the
ram pitched into it again. He struck it
under it's right wing, which was raised at
the time, and the eagle dropped the bleed
ing carcass of the lamb and caught the
ram in the long wool on the back.
Farmer Shiffer, who had started from
the hillside field the moment be saw the
eagle swoop down, had witnessed every
stage Of the fight, aud be reached the spot
just after the eagle had sailed in for the
second time to conquer the ram. He
had caught up fence stake on the way,
and with it be whaled the eagle over the
head and broke it's neck. By that time
the rams wool was pretty we'll mussed
mp, bat the old fellow was still full oi
fight, and when Farmer Shiffer unloosened
the enormous talous and tumbled the
eagle over on its back he gave the bird
am other butt, and then walked toward a
corner Of the field where the rest of the
flock were huddled together. The lamb
lay dead on the grass. and the timid eve
stood off several feet and gazed upon It,
From tip to tip the big bird measured
eight feet and four inches.

A Tooth in a Ring.

Probably the most curious ring in New
York is worn by the wife of wealthy
and we'll known lawyer. She has three
handsome, manly sons, but only daughter,
who made her debut in society this season,
and was much admired. This girl is the
idol of her parents, and the ring worn by
her mother is a testimony oftheir affection,
though a very eccentric one.
When the girl was ten years of age the
father presented to the mother at Christ
mas ring in which were set two little
semitranslucent white stones surrounded
by diamonds, and for long while he re-
sisted his wiie's entresties to tell her what
sort of stones they we're, she never having
seen anything at all resembling them.
Finally he confessed to her, little
shamefacedlY, that when their little
daughter had lost her pretty milk teeth
he had saved the front ones and carried
them about 10 his pocketbook for long
time until the idea occurred to him OF
utilizing them in that way. The wife
laughed at him good deal bat continued
to wear the ring, and still wears it, though
very few persons know the story of its
setting.-Bostoa Herald.

SAID TO BE "A NEW KIND OF WORM

SAID TO BE A NEW KIND OF WoRM.-
A worm that eats and kills new clover
has appeared in Papakating, NJ. It is
a quarter of an inch long and looks some
thing like the common grub worm.
George Armstrong has a ten-acre plot Of
clover in the township, and be discovered
the worm last Sunday. They had eaten
away all of the young and tender stalks,
and there were three or four at work on
most of the larger ones. He got a shovel
full of the worms and took them home.
All the old residents of the township came
to see them, and none of them had ever
seen anything like them bofore. On
Thursday, Armstrong sent box of the
worms to the State entomologist.
