Stories About Judges.

A good story is told on Judge French,
OF South Dakota. Somo years ugo he be
came Judge of the Supreme Court and
was known all over the State by the name
of "Old Necessity" and this title was
given him because IL was said he "kncw
no law" AS nm illustration of how apt
this appelation was the most remarkable
decision the Judge ever rendered is di-
rcctly TO the point. A case was before
him wherein the prosecution failed to
prove its changcs. Tho attorney for the
defence refused on that ground to put in
any evidence. When asked by Judge
French if he intended doing so, the
lawyer said ''no," and then the Judge
drew himself up and said: "Wcll, in that
case shall order the jury to convict; if
there is any one branch of the law fully
understand 1t is criminal law, and il a
man is innocent he has got to prove him
self So"
Another good story from the same Sec
tion is on Judge Gideon G. Moody, re-
Gently elected United States Senator from
South Dakota. When he was some years
ago Associate Justice of tho Supreme
Court, noted horsc-thicf known rs
Light Fingered Harry was up before him
on charge of stealing horse. The
trial was long one and Harry got long
term in prison. In sentencing the pris-
oner Judge Moody scored the thief in a
most unmerciful manner and closed by
asking the usual question if he had any
thing to say. Harry looked his denounccr
in the eye for moment and then said in
an even, cold tone: "Judgc, wouldn't
have that temper OF yours for the best
horse in the Black Hills. Chicago

A Collection of Pipes Worth $50, 900

There arc collectors of meerschaum
pipes who would not part with their
treasures at any price. Some of the col
lections are worth many thousands of
dollars.
One of the wonders in this line is the
collection of Captain F. Bragg, of Lon.
don, which is worth $50, 900. Last sum-
mcr he loaned his collection, consisting
of five or six thousand pieces, to the
Crystal Palace for exhibition. But even
his most elaborate pipes arc not the most
expensive. Captain Bragg had agents all
over the world collecting for him, and
those in South America found for him in
the ancient mounds the prehistoric pipe,
which is considered the most costly. It
is made of what is called jade, one of the
hardest minerals in the world. Its value
consists in its rarity. York Herald.

How to Mate Cnnaries.

'!How do you mate canary bir ds7" re-.
peatcd fancicr, after patrons ques-
ton. "Why, take three or four birds of
both sexes and hang up their cages
around in the same room. They begin
to chirp. The average observer would
probably note nothing particular about
their chipping, but, if his attention were
called to it, he could soon observe that
the birds select which one they will chirp
to, and that certain couples begin chIrp-
ing only to themselves. They drop their
singing altogether, and only talk to
each other in uninterrupted courtship.
When the style of address and speech
and sentiments of the canaries please
eaca other at this distance it is not al
ways sure that they will mate.
'They are easily deceived with each
other, and after the marriage ceremony,
which consists of putting them in the
same cage with the hopeful blessings OF
the man who wants to raise some bird
lings, they may fight like shovel and
tongs. But generally their voices pleas
ing each others cars signifies more than
n mere Irritation and means they will love
each other forever and ever. Just rs
when you see young man and woman
hanging over the same piano and chirp-
ing white Wings together. 1t doesn't
always mean success in married life, but
it usually does. generally give hen
four or five eggs. She matches them in
three weeks, and get 81 apiece for all
can raise. "-Lancastcr Examiner.

The New York Commercial 4Adyeuise

The New York Commercial Adyertiser
makes very vigorous and sensible dc.
tense of Americans against the criticism
that has grown out of the fact that so few
of our public men arc able to speak to the
delegates Of the Pan American congress
in Spanish. The conditions of European
life are such as to make the command of
more than one language natural and al
most necessary. In this country, on the
other hand, it is but few years since
English was universal, and the over
.whclming preponderancc of the purely
American influence is certain to counter
fact that of incoming foreigners and bring
them to our own tongue. The command
of foreign language is an elegant accom-
plishment, but the Detroit Free Press
thinks it not necessary part of the
equipment of an educated American.

According to the Now York Witness,
ga German traveller just returned TO
Berlin from West Africa takes quite
different view of African slavery from
that commonly entertained. He says that
the slaves in the western part of the con-
hnent, as least, are as we'll off as their
masters and have no desire to change
their. condition. Slave and master cat.
sleep, labor and enjoy themselves together
on such terms of equality that one might
live for weeks in village without being
able to decide who are in bondage and
who are free. A proclamation of eman-
'cipation would not be welcome to these
slaves, and were their freedom purchased
for them they would simply continue in
voluntary servitude. This description
may be, in measure, true enough of GER
tain parts of West Africa where the slave
driver with his chains and scourge is un-
known, but we have it on the word of
missionaries who testify to the things
their own eyes have seen, that the evils
of the Arab slave trade in the regions
about the great lakes of Central Africa
are beyond the power of cxaggeration-
are in fact only little less deplorablc
than the iniquitous rum traffic carried on
by Christian nations in Africa.

A Costly Leather.

A very costly kind of leather is known
to the trade as "piano leather" and,
though it is well known that American
tanners have for long time been ac-
quainted with the secret of Russian
leather making, with its peculiarly
pungent and lasting odor, the secret of
tanning piano leather is still held exclu-
sively by family of tanners in Thnringia,
GERMANY peculiar fact, however, be-
ing that the skins from which it is tanned
are procured almost entirely in America.
The leather has but one use, the covering
of piane.keys. 1t is particular kind of
buckskin. The skin of the common red
or Virginia deer will not make the
leather, species of the animal known as
the gray deer, and found only in the
vicinity Of the great northern lakes, alone
furnishing the material The German
tanners have an agency in Detroit which
collects the skins OF this deer from the
Indian and half-breed hunters, the latter
paying an average price of about twenty
cents per pound for the green skins.
When returned to this country, however,
as plane leather. they cost the manu-
facturer from SIS to S18 per pound.
The worlds supply Of this invaluable
and essential material is supplied by the
Kretzchmar family of tanners, who carry
on as many as six establishments in Ger
many, the largest and best being at Gera,
il Thuringia -Nen York Sun.

The most wonderful piece of railroad
engineering have seen, writes CORE
spondent, is on the line of the Piedmont
Air Line in Western North Carolina. The
railway leaves Asheville, that noted sani-
tarium, and proceeds as best it can to get
over the Blue Ridge Mountains. First
there is the Swannanoa tunnel, which is
about third of mile long. After that
there are six other tunnels somewhat
shorter. Then from the top of the mount
ain the railway undertakes to wind its
way down into the valley of the Catawba
River, or Mill Creek. The road here is
probably the crookedest in all creation.
1t winds and rewinds, and twists and
goes over and under itself in such way
that it is perfectly bewildering to the
traveller who wishes to know in what par
ticular part of the mountain he is. From
Little St. Bernard, peak that is above
the Round Knob Valley, the railway can
be seen In seventeen different places,
working up and down the mountain, and
no two sections of the track are on the
same elevation The train runs down
this crooked iron pathway with all steam
shut off and the brakes turned on. II is
scary experience for traveller, but the
road bed is perfect and has all been rock
ballasted and laid with heaviest steel
rails, and no accident has ever yet taken
place on that portion of the line, so the
chances are that, startling as the ride is
to a traveller accustomed to level railways,
that portion of the track is safer than
many other lines that have less grades
and crooks upon them. But anyhow it is
worth risking something, if it is any risk,
to enjoy the wonderful ride winGing
round the mountains and descending into
the valley of the Catawba,

SH0NE FOR A CENTURY.

Celebration of the Cente nniaI of the
United States Judiciary.
The sad events OF the last few days at
Washington, including the sal loss of the
Blaine family and the more tragic affection
to the home of Secretary Tracy, dimmed con-
sideraDly the celebration Of the Centennial
of the Federal Judiciary in New York.
TIE weather, too, seemed designed to cast
an additional gloom over the great affair, for
as the morning passsd away q disagrseabIe
rain set in, growing heavier as the hour for
the exerc.s Q approached. The attendance
at the literary exercises in the Metropolitan
ODera House was the most noted that ever
filed the magnificent building.
While the disting uished gathering were
leaving carriages as the door, and filing the
seats until there was s-standmg-roorn only. y
the Grand Symphony Orchestra played tina
Coronation march. the overture from z I'M
pa and the American Fantaste. When the
last air had been played, Ex President Cleve-
land stepped forward. He was cheered to the
echo and it was some minutes before he could
speak Bowling his ackno sledgments and ex-
pressing his appreciation Of the generous well
come accorded him. Mr.. Cleveland began
his Introductory addrtss.
The other speakers were: w. h. Armour,

He explained to me afterward that Dick
had assured him that by taking a '.short
cut" across the desert they would strike
the river at the mythical ssclump of

borrowed his revolver to shoot at rab-

planned from the beginning to murder
one or both of us, and to get off with
the gold.

northwest by west for thirty miles to
Mineral City, on the Colorado. Here we
communicated with the Sheriff, Tom
Fork, who arrested Dick just as he was
leaving town, with five thousand dollars
in greenbacks on his person. He denied
everything; but when confronted by
Giles, whom he supposed to be dead, he
blanched little, and when produced
my photograph (Which I had meanwhile
devcloped) he was overcome by sheer
amazement, and confessed his guilt
