Among other opinions rendered by
the Chief Justice at the opening of the
! Supreme Court was one in which he
stated that witness from a foreign
county is entitled to mileage on his
first attendance at court; whether he is
entitled to more than this depends
upon circumstances. He should be
allowed for this mileage if his going
home and returning to court is reason
able conduct on his part. The court in
which this action is pending has the
matter, to some degree at least, under
its discretionary control.
One of the latest novelties in church
entertainments is the shoe social. The
ladies are all arranged behind screen
so that only their shoes can be seen by
the men. The price generally ranges
from Is to 90 cents, and the purchaser
has no idea whose shoes he has selected.
But when he claims the purchased
property he receives the wearer also
and conducts her to supper, and sup
plies her with other delicacies as she
accept them. Of course, the size of the
foot is not indicative Of the capacity of
the owner for storing away the delica-
cies.

IMPROVEMENTS ON THE READING
RAILROADS. SEAsHoRE LINE.-Those
of our readers who know Atlantic City
only as hot-weather resort would be
amazed to witness the evidences Of life
and activity now observable there. The
largest of all our coast resorts, it well
deserves its title "The American Brigh-
ton," having within the past few years
been metmatorphosed from a mere
summer pleasuring place to great and
permanent sanitarium and abode of
recreation. The Spring season is now
booming; all the leading hotels are
open, and during the daily promenade
hour the beach is crowded with votar-
les of fashion and seekers after health
