THE ULTIM ATE.

When, Of old chief died in the North.
Then they wrapt him close in fighting dress
Laid his faithful weapons him beside,
And. with stern and silent tenderness,
In boat wide-bosomed on the tide
Placed his death-cold body, pushed him forth
Thence to drift at will of wind and fate
Till at last he found the Ultimate.
Amply weaponed so, with courage grim,
Prone along my death-boat like to him
l would day-long rock and roam and wait
For subtle turn O tide and sea,
For gust o. wind to break and blow
Love and land and life away from me;
Favoring, until l glide and go
Past each bomn and billow boundary
To the waters lying round my fate
To the windless unoared Ultimate.

AN IMPARTIAL JUDGE.
The Gratifying Reputation Enjoyed BY q
Noted Massachusetts, Jurist.

Noted Massachusetts Jurist.
A compliment, paid by Rufus Choate
to Chief Justice Shaw, of Massachusetts,,
happily illustrates Burke's ptthy phrase,
1.-THE cold neutrality of an impartial
Judge" with what judge said Mr.
Choate, "can you see your antagonist
freely conversing, without the slightest
apprehension, as you can with him|'
Once during the trial of a case, an
eminent lawyer, associated with Mr..
Choate, was rising to contest an I'M
favorable, if not unfair, ruling made by
the chief justice. ''Let it go!" whis-
pered Mr.. Choate. drawing him back.
''Sit down. Life, liberty and property
are always safe in his hands"
Gracefully as these sayings compli
ment the impartiality of one of the
most upright of judges, they are not
more expressive than one which was
paid him by sporting man," noted as
an assistant in prize fights.
The sport" was witness in murder
trial, and during his examination the
chief justice walked to the edge of the
bench, and in grave way, peering over
his spectacles, asked the witness several
questions. After the witness had left
the stand, he said to an officer of the
court:
did you see that chap that sot with
two other coves behind a little fence
there in COURT mean the cove called
the chief?''
=, so yes, you mean Judge Shaw" said
the officer.
That's him; but what glorious fell
Ter he'd made for a referee in fight"
saidthe bruiser.
Daiel Webster did one of the best
worksof his life when he seated him
self in Lemuel Shaw's office, and spent
severalhours in pursuading him to re-
linquish lucrative practice to accept
the ChietJusticeship of Massachusetts.
EThough its salary was so small as not to
Iamount to one-third of the sum which
Mr.. Shaw earned yearly, by the prac-
ice of his profession, he yielded to the
ssnse of duty, aroused by Mr.. Web
ser's arguments, and for thirty years
se'ved the Commonwealth by admins.

Globular Electricity.

A recent communication to the Acad-
envy of Madrid instances case of glob-
ular electricity which is interesting. In
a town in the northwestern part of
Spain, at nine o'clock one evening, there
suddenly appeared, without the slightest
sign or warning, for the heavens were
clear and the air was quiet, a ball of fire
as large as an orange. 1t fell directly
upon an electric light wire, which it
slowly followed into the station where
the dynamo was in motion. First it
fiirted with the armature of an inter-
rupter, then it struck the moving dynamo
and twice jumped back and forth be-
tween the conductors and the dynamo.
Then, as if having accomplished its
mission, it jumped on the ground, burst
into innumerable fragments with loud
explosion, leaving no trace of its pres
ence.-Chicago Herald.

TWO VERY ODD PLANTS.
One of Them Useful to Check the Growti
of the Beard.


of the Beard.
Another very funny plant in the Gov
ernment's botanical garden is the So
called barber plant, the leaves of which
are used in some parts of the East by
rubbing on the face to keep the beard
from growing. 1t is not supposed to
have any effect on beard that is al
ready rooted, but merely to act as a pre-
ventive, boys employing it to keep the
hair from getting start on their faces.
1t is also employed by some Oriental
people who desire to keep parts of their
heads free from hair, as a matter of
fashion. Also found in the botanical
garden is the Cruel plant" which is so
designated because it catches butterflies
and kills them for sheer sport. Its
flowers attract the poor little futterer
by the honey it offers, and when the
victim lights upon it it grabs the butter
fly by the head and holds it fast until the
captive dies. Then the flower drops it
on the ground and lies in wait for a
fresh unfortunate.
A curious looking tree from the
Isthmus of Panama bears a round red
fruit as big as an apple, which has this
remarkable faculty, that it's juice rubbed
on tough beef or chicken makes the
meat tender by the chemical power it
possesses to separate the flesh fiber.
One is interested to observe in the
botanical green houses three kinds of
plants that have real consumption of
the lungs leaves, of course, being
the lungs of plant. The disease is
manifested by the turning of the leaves
from green to white, the affection grad
ually spreading from one spot until,
when leaf is all white, it is Just about
to die. Cruelty enough, as it would
seem, the gardeners only try to perpet-
uate the disease for the sake of beauty
and curiosity, all plants of those varie-
ties that are too healthy being thrown
away.-Chicago Herald.

THE SCORE-CARO FIEND.
The Base Ball Game Couldn't Go Or
without Him.

If you want to enjoy yourself at a
baseball match manage to sit beside the
man who tries to keep a score of the
game for his own satisfaction.
No one has yet solved the mystery
why this man bothors his head about the
score, but all the same he is as much
absorbed in the work as if every mark
and figure he makes were to go into the
next United States census reports.
The chief popularity of this man is
that he doesn't know how to keep a
baseball score anyhow
The official scorers, who get paid for
their labor, do not do half the work for
their money that this man does for the
pure love of it. 1t is understood that
large part of the satisfaction he finds
comes from knowledge that the people
around him can't keep score, and there
fore he must be greatly envied and ad-
mired. This belief may be right or
wrong, but with this man it goes.
The score-card fiend does not go to
the ball-match for the pleasure of see
ing the game. He is educated far be-
yond that point and goes for the pleas
ure of recording the play-the game.
People who are satisfied with merely
watching the progress of the game on
the field are subjects of this mans pity.
When the score-card fiend is so anx-
tout to keep correct record of every
detail on the field, we hold it is not
right to make him the victim of defec-
tive information. If, for instance, he
has been absorbed in watching the
ladies in the vicinity, and the game has
got away from him, it is not fair to tell
him, when he asks, that O'Keefe went
out on foul when, in fact, he made a
home run. Misinformation of this kind,
when given to him dozen times during
the progress of the game, has tendency
to mar the accuracy of the score. Give
the score-card fend chance.-N. Y.

THE SINGING VOICE.
Singers and Doctors Agree That Tobacco

Affects lie
That the voice is affected by tobacco
is proved by the testimony of singers on
the one hand and by the experience of
physicians on the other. A very large
acquaintance with vocalists of all grades,
extending now over a longer period of
years than / care to think of, enables
me to say that, while few consider
their voice as improved, the vast major
ity think it is more or less injured by
smoking, says DIR. Morrell Mackenzie. /

mony of the latter than to that of the
former, as singers have frequently the
most eccentric notions of what is good
for the voice. AS stout, mustard and
melted tallow candles have each been
Wanted by distinguished artists as
vocal elixirs of sovereign efficacy, it is
not surprising that tobacco should also
have its adherents.
The example of Mario, who smoked
necessarily, is often cited as proof Of
the utility-or, at any rate, the harm
lessness-of the practice. 1t is obvious,
however, that an exceptional singer is
SO by virtue of possessing an exceptional
throat, and no rule for general use can be
safely founded on such an instance. Bal
FAC used to say of great men who were
victims of the temper passion that there
was no knowing how much greater they
might have been if they had been free
from that weakness. In the same way
we may say of Mario: How much finer
might even his voice have been without
his eternal cigar? 1t might at least have
lasted longer than it did
