How Judges Become Stern.

It Is fact, says the New York Daily
Nss'. that q largo percentage of the
criminals arraigned in court each dsy
are men and women who have been up
for the same offenss many times before.
Few new faces are brought before
the bar on charges of theft or robbery.
Often it has been wondered at why it is
that judges of criminal courts seem to
impose heavier sentences as their years
on the bench increase. 1t is presum-
ably due to the knowledge of the peo-
pie brought before them. Years of ex.
perience teach the court that leniency
with such offenders IS a mistake.
When judge goes upon the bench
for his first term, it is noticeable that
he is as tender hearted a. q woman, but
as he constantly sees fresh instances of
disregard for clemency he has shown in
the temperance of the recipient of the
favor, he soon becomes case. hardened,
and has no conjunction about imposing
the laws severe,t penalty.
But experience, also teaches the JUS
tices to distinguish between persons and
to discriminate, so that first offenses
arc usually treated with the greatest
consideration, and many q convicted

Sessions to receive sentence, has been

advice to endeavor to lead an honest

A Permanent Advertisement.

The LIGHT is in receipt of circu-

commissioner of immigration for the
Fort Worth and Rio Graude railroad
requesting information as to what San
Antonio would do toward aiding in
fitting out an advertising car that
will be sent among the northern
states to distribute advertising matter
and carry an exhibit OF Texas pro-
ducts much in the same manner as
the perambulating California on
wheels that passed through here last
winter. Any town can secure space
tor exhibits in this car and any litera.
ture will be distributed free of
charge by paying 1925 for three pages
of space In an illustrated and descrip-
tive work on Texas, gotten up by that
railroad, and any town 80 doing will
be furnished glass jars for preparing
exhibits free of charge, and such
other aid as the road can give. The
object of this is to induce immigra-
ton, and the LIGHT suggests that
the board of trade give it their con-
sideratiOn.

The Death Plant of Java.

"A magnificent kali mujah or death
plant, of Java, has been recently re-
ceived in Philadelphia" says the
Times of that city, by Mrs. Madison
Black. This specimen, which IS the
only living one that has ever been
brought to this country, was sent
to Mrs. Black by her brother, Jerome
Hendricks, who went out as mis-
sionary to the island. The kali mu-
ian is found only in the volcanic dis
tricts of Java and Sumatra, and then
rarely. 1t grows from > to IL feet
in height, with long, slender stems
armed with thOrns nearly an men
long. and covered with broad satin
smooth leaves of a heart shape and OF
delicate emerald on one side land
blood red streaked with cream on the
other.
The flowers OF the death plant are
large, milk white aud cup-like, being
about the size and depth of large
coffee cup and having the rim guard
ed by fine, brier-like thOrns. The
popularity of the plant lies in these
flowers, which, beautiful as they are,
distill continually deadly perfume
so powerful as to overcome, if Inhaled
any length of time, tull-grOwn man,
and killing all forms of insect life APP
preaching it. The perfume, though
more pungent, is as sickening sweet
as chlorofOrm, which it greatly re-
sembles in effect, producing lnsensi
bility, but convulsing at the same
time the muscles of the face, especial
ly those about the mouth and eyes
drawing the former up into grin
An inhalation is followed by viOlen
headache and ringing in the ears
which gives way to temporary deaf
ness, often total while it lasts.
"Other plants seem to shun thu

Ishmael of the vegetable kingdom
for it grows issolated from every 9th
er form of vegetation, though the sol
about it may be fertile. All insect
and birds instlnctively seem to avoi

Los, Money Found Through a Dream.

You cannot convince Mrs. James Burr,
of Monroe, that there is no truth in
dreams. She visited a store at Stepny
Depot to do some trading. She had in
her purse IA $40 gold piece, but she did
not take il out. as she had other money.
On arriving home the gold piece was
missing. and the loss worried her greatly.
That night she had a dream. in which
she saw the interior of the grocery pict-
ured plainly. In one corner stood an
open box Of oranges. and this seemed to
attract her gaze especially. The dream
made deep impression on Mrs. Burrs
mind, though her family laughed at her
about il. She harnessed her horse after
breakfast and drove To the store. There
abe told of the loss of her money, but 1t
had not been seen. She repeated her
dream To the storekeeper, and asked him
to look i'm the orange box. He very
kindly took out the fruit, and there,
down in one corner, lay the missing coin.
Mrs. Burr then remembered that she had
examined the oranges, and probably had
the open purse in her hand at the time.

1t has been said by economists that
the material progress of nation is
quite accurately indicated by its con-
sumption of iron. Especially is this
true as applied to the United States,
where advancement finds no parallel in
the worlds history 1t must be evident
10 every student of the situation that
we could not use iron so abundantly as
now if it was not produced at home.
In the first place, we could find nothing
with which To pay for it, because many
of the products of our agriculture and
other industries could not be exported
TO pay for iron made abroad; and,
secondly, it is equally evident that with.
out home competition the price of iron
made abroad would be beyond reach of
most of those who are now its heaviest
consumers.
The home production of iron not only
benefit consumers by enabling them 10
pay for vastly more than they otherwise
could command, but it equally bere its
them by keeping down prices History
proves this TO be true British iron that
sold here for $40 per ton in 1919, under
the "revenue tariff of 1876, when Am
crican iron Of better quality was offered
for $50, and could not be sold for less,
rose to $50 per ton a few years later

when we began To extend our railroad
system.
Men are yet in business who can re-
member when in our hardware stores
made goods were the excep-
tion. Now nine-tenths of our hardware,
including heavy goods, are of home
manufacture, and in the case of saws,
axes, tools, CUTLERY and all kinds Of
builders hardware, we are heavy ex-
porters. And it is most significant
fact that among our best customers for
these products of protected industry
are the colonies of Great Britain.
A glance at Canada's imports for 1893
show that there came from the United
States of hardware over eighty per
cent; brass goods, eighty-one per cent;
copper manufactures, eighty-six per
cent; cordage. ninety-four per cent;
ginghams; lightweight per cent; glass
manufactures, sixty five per cent; rub
Der goods, ninety per cent; printing
ink, ninety-four per cent; carpets, fifty
four per cent; tinware, ninety-one per
cent; wallpaper, ninety per cent; paper
manufactures, seventy-two per cent;
oil-cloth, fifry-two per cent.
Such an array of business facts as
this, with the practical man, is worth
more than all the theories of all the
free trade writers on both sides of the
ocean.

Machine Made Gun Barrels.

In the old days-that is, when your
son-in-law was "A "kid"-it took a gun
smith days To rifle out the inside of a
gun barrel, 80 that one could shoot a
squirrel through the head without killing
anybody in the next town. But now
the slow gun making process of 'afore
de wah" has given way To the genius of
machinery. 1t is said that by the meth
DDS of recent improvements made in the
manufacture of rifles as many as 1870
barrels can now be rolled i'm an hour by
one machine. They are Strengthened
cold and bored with corresponding
speed, and even the rifing is done auto
matically, SO that one man tending six
machines can turn out sixty or seventy
barrels per day. With the old rihing
machine twenty barrels was about the
limit of days work, but the improved
machines attend to everything after be-
ing once started, and when the rifling is
completed ring a bell to call the atten-
ton of the workman.-New York Tele-

THE new extradition treaty with
Great Britain goes into effect April 4th.
1t will render Canada insecure as hid
ing place for American criminals, and
doubtless be the means of preventing
the Disappearance of large sums of
money from this side of the line. I'M
questionably there is good deal of
business done in Canada on stolen
American capital. OF course this isn't
Canada's fault and she will no doubt be
very glad to get less of our money in
that way. We can almost believe that
the new treaty will favorably affect
Detroit by making it a less attractive
place for crooks and criminals Let us
hope it may.-Detr0H Irtbune.
