an inch above the bottom of the
axle it is desired to raise. Swing
the catch toward the top of the

the jack under, bear down upon the
handle, let the catch fall out toward
the long end of the handle and the work
is done. The jack will hold the axle up
as long as desired. If ono wishes, base

asked, spring!ng up from the table.
Its Parker's old goat, 1 reckon"
replied Mrs. Ramsey, as she gathered
the broom and started forth. "Why in
the name of sakes they keep that old
brute is more than can tell, and if l
get to him once I'll put an end to him
in short order.'
And the good woman was in earnest,
too. as her determined face and flashing
eyes proclaimed.
Hold on, my DEAR" said Mr.. Ramsey,
YOU'D better not tackle that goat with
broom, Tor if You do you are sure to
get the worst of it,
Worst of it or not Riel, that goats
got to be killed. I've put up with him
and his devilment just as long as I'm
going to- He's eat up my garden,
chewed my he'd covers into shreds when
! hang them on the line, and now he's
broke my dishes. The goodness only
knows what he amt eat up and de-
s,royed. and 1 amt going to bear with
him no longer"
''Woll," said Mr.. Ramsey, '1ust let
me get at him for about minute, and
I'll warrant he'll never bother you
again. just wait moment and I'll
make that goat wish he was in Africa
or some other remote region"
Mr.. Ramsey having properly armed
himself with good-sized club, issued
forth to do battle with the old culprit.
The goat stood in the kitchen door
leisurely chew ing his cud and looking
as innocent and inoffensivc as baby.
Mr.. Ram sey was noted for his impetu-
osity and want of caution, and the i'm.
pudent appe arance Of the old goat so
enraged him that he forgot all pru.
dence and m ade drive at the brute with
club uplifted. But just at the moment
when he prepared to strike, the goat
gave quick jump forward, and strik-
Ing his assallant drove him back against
the house where he dropped in a heap
Mr.. Ramsey's anger was thoroughly
aroused by this time, and he breathed
forth vengeance dire and awful, but
whenever he attempted to rise the goat
promptly butted him down again, and
at last he :ound it to his interest to lie
still and await developments.
''Why don't you do something's he
called to his wife. "Why don't you kill
the beast?"
Il can't" said she.
''Can't!" he exclaimed. "Well if l
could get chance at him, I'd soon fin
ish his miserable existence"
Whatever Mrs. Ramsey thought of
her good mans threat and the prob
ability of him carrying it into execu-
ton, she wisely refrained from saying
any thing, but instead stood in the
opposite door and shook the broom and
her dress, and 'shooed" at the goat,
and ordered him away in the most
peremptory manner
But Parker's goat retained his list
less attitude, and with half shut eyes
looked on all this demonstration with

MANIA FOR LITIGATION.
The Most Costly Luxury In Which q Sa,
Person Can Indulge.

The Most Costly Luxury In Which q Sane
Person Can Indulge.
A mania for going to law seems tc
possess no inconsiderable portion of GU,
population. The calendars of our courts
lengthen with every term, and judges re.
gard with dismay the frightful accumu.
lation of cases. Cynical people insist
that the immense number of young law.
every year has something to do with
the tremendous impulse that has been
given to litigation within the last few
years.
Immoral glaciers out of employ have
been known to incite idle boys to break
the windows of exemplary citizens,
with the view of creating demand for
the services of a penetrating class; and
it is asserted libelously, perhaps that
people who live in glass houses are
egged on to throw stones at each other
by newly-fledged counselors, who hope
to profit by the damage. However this
may be, it is quite certain that the pro-
portion of litigants to the populat ton at
large is much greater now than it was
ten years ago.
TO be sure, the demand for al costly
luxuries increases every year; but law
is so ruinously expensive, as a general
rule. that one would think the most
reckless spend-thrift would hesitate to
indulge in it. And yet strange to say,
grave, sedate and even apparently
pious, self-denying members of society
are continually getting entangled in
suits, cross suits and other legal meshes,
from which, in nine casos out of ten.
there is no escape until the parties con.
cerned have been thoroughly pigeoned.
Anybody can set the legal ball in mo-
ton; nobody can tell when it will stop.
It can not be too strongly impressed
upon individuals of litigious spirit
that there are usually seven requisites
to success in law-suit-a good cause, 9

nesses, good jury, a good long purse,

In milder forms of the disease, pure

this court floor is cement coated. In its rear
are storerooms, fuel bins, closets, etc.
Through this court is the private entrance
to the club, opening on Fourth street. Be
tween this side entrance and the building
proper is an independent one.story build
ing, handsomely finished, and into which
is built fine vault. The one room of this
little building, which belongs to the bank,
has been leased to Cox & Clarke, the we'll
known capitalists.
IN GENERAL.
1t should be noted that while all the
walls of this elegant building are left in
white, in the course of few months, when
the structure shall have settled ali it is
likely to, and any possible cracks in the
plastering have developed, though none are
anticipated, the ceiling and walls in the
counting-room will be richly frescoed, and
on all the other floors tinted.
The completion of this magnificent
structure. which is near at hand, is an
event of no small importance to this COM
munity. 1t will be an object to which all
will point with pride, and the influence of
which must be felt in all future business
building enterprises in this city. The
energy of the corporation that erected the
imposing pile, the faith of the men at its
head in Sacramento, their good taste in or
dering such building-all rebound to the
high credit of the California State Bank,
and make Sacramento its grateful debtor by
this splendid addition to the number of
her fine public buildings.

Facts About Etna.

The traveller is not so much attracted
to Catania by its reminders of mighty
past as he is to put eyes and feet upon
the monster which all through that known
time stood moaning or laundering above
it. Its ascent is begun within the very
streets of the city. Strada Edta, Catania's
longest street, beginning at the very edge
of the port side, leads almost due north
toward the volcanoes peak, within few
feet of eleven thousand feet above the
level of the sea, and fully twenty eight
miles away. The area of country domi-
mated by the mountain, and at all times
subject to overflow of lava. is astound-
ing. Its circumference is fully one hun
dred and seventy miles, and it describes
an irregular circle, of greatest diameter
from north to south. Catania stands ut
the extreme of asouthern dcflectionin its
southern segment. The Alcantara River,
rising in its northwestern foot hills, flows
to the northeast, thence circles its north
ern edge, and finally SWEEPS around to
the southeast into the sea. The Simeteo
River, having its source at the northeast,
near that of the Alcantara, circles the
DtSc, IlFSb TO tnc SOuLuNeSI, tHtu SOutu-
ward, and then flows around and into the
sea to the southeast, below Catania.
From Catania to the mouth of the Alcan-
tara, the Ionian Sea on the east, running
with almost a straight wall of shore, cuts
a thin segment out of this circle. But
within this extraordinarily distinct cir
Gle of 10 miles there is not square inch
of the earth's surface over which the lava
has not at some time poured; which one
cannot now distinguish to be unadul-
teratcd lava soil; and which is not sub
iect to-day, or any other time, to a new
coating of molten lava. The entire ma
iestic contour of the mountain, broken
here and there by lesser volcanoes, is
visible from any point at this tremendous
base edge; but more strange than all else
is the density of population within the
lower and cultivably luxuriant rim.
Threading the base, along the seashore,
around to the north by the shores of the
Alcantara, around to the south along the
inner, or northern shore of the Simeteo,
and crowding up to the very edge of its
lesser volcanoes, are between sixty and
seventy cities and villages, housing-and
every human being in lifelong danger of
acknowledgement of 300, 900 souls.
