Gems Of Thought.

We are not so much to strain our
selves TO make those virtues appear in
Us which really We have not, as to
avoid those imperiections which may
dishonor us.-Dryden.
Plutarch says very finely that a man
should not allow himself to hate even
his enemies; because il you indulge
this passion on some occasions, it will
rise OF itself in others. Addison.
We assemble parliaments and coun-
ellis to have the benefit OF their collec-
ted wisdom; but as we necessarily
have, at the same time, the inconven-
fences of their collected passions, pre-
JUDGES and private interests. BY the
help Of these, artful men overpower
their wisdom. and dupe its possessors;
and if we may Judge by the acts, ar
rets, and edicts, all the world over, for
regulating commerce, an assembly Of
great men are the greatest fools upon
earth. B. Franklin.
God designs that a charitable inter.
course should be maintained among
men, mutually pleasant and beneficial
Barrow.
Some men gives more light and
knowledge by the bare stating OF the
question with perspicuity and justnoss,
than others by talking of it in gross
confusion for whole hours together.

Literature has her quacks no less

what she ought TO think OF tic tall, broad

called Roland frank because Of his blunt
manner and hearty laugh, lima did not be-

Roland however made himself very
agreeable, lie led the way down TO the
weir, and showed lima the spot whence
Zarah Heston had cast herself; but when
the young Canadian went and stood fear.
lessly on the dizzy platform, above the
roaring flood, the young man would have

THE LETTER"

I held his letter in my hand,
And even while l read,
The lightning flashed across the land
The word that he was dead
How strange it seemed His living voice
Was speaking from the page,
Those courteous phrases, tersely choice
Light-hearted, witty, sage.
l wondered what it was that died
The man himself was here,
His modesty, his scholars pride,
His soul serene and clear.
These, neither death nor time shall dim (;

merchants as cashiers in their count

coins are known TO be i'm circulation in
Siam, and, according to advices
from that scorehed-up little Oriental
kingdom, no living human being can
discriminate between the good and
bad coinage with as much accuracy a.
these apes. These monkey cashiers
possess the faculty of distinguishing
the rude Siamese counterfeits in such
an extraordinary degree that no train
ed banker can compete with them in
their unique avocatiOn. In plying his
trade the ape cashier meditatively puts
each coin presented 10 him in his
mouth and tests it with grave deliber-
alton. From two TO five seconds is all
the time this intelligent animal re-
quires in making up his decision. If
the coin is all right il is carefully de-
posted In the proper receptacle; il
base il il thrown violently To the floor,
while the coin tester makes known his
displeasure at being presented with
the counterfeit by giving vent to much
angry chattering. Saturday Evening

Pine street early this morning. The girl
slept in the nursery with a little child,
and the family was awakened at 3 O'Clock
this morning by the child CRYING. The
girl was missing and a search being made
her dead body was found lying on a plank
walk in the yard. The supposition is that
the young girl jumped from the window
Of her room on the third floor and landed
on her head, causing conclusion of the
brain and probable fracture of the skull,
resulting in instant death. Il appears
the Young woman was engaged to be
married to a young nan named Pat Tracy
and was afraid he would break the engage

she asks forgiveness for her rash act and

have been only a day or two in duration.

sickness in New York was the result of
overwork, combined with la grippe. Not

that he will never again engage in active

LONDON, July 2-Accordiug to a
Berlin dispatch, several cases OF death
from absolute want among the poorer
classes have been covered up by the
authorities as being entirely attributable
to disease. There Is a systematic effort
on the part OF the authorities, from the
department OF state down to the lowest
municipal officials, to minimize the mis-
cry that prevails owing to the high price
Of bread. The police have been known to
rebuke persons on the street who were
heard talking about the corn duties in a
tone Of dissatisfaction, aud they give a
fiat denial on every possible occasion to
the reports OF d%estitutiou. In this way
they have managed to deceive some of the
newspapers, while others are willing to
thus misrepresent matters without being
deceived. The truth. says the ro%rrespon-
dent, is that nearly every wage-earning
family keenly feels the situation, and the
Kaiser Is losing on account OF it much
of the popularity which he earned by the
advocacy OF labor reform. The Socialists
are taking advantage of the general dis
content to SOW their doctrines broadcast,
and expect to reap the harvest at the next
election for the reichstaP. Military as

AN ANGRY JUDGE.
Ladies Ordered Out Of Chicago
Court Room
For Applauding the Speech Of
an Eloquent Lawyer.
Tremendous Sensation in a
Catholic Church.

CHICAGO. July 2.-The climax in the
suit of Phoebe Couzius was reached this
afternoon. The case had been on hearing
all day and Col. Roe, Miss Couzins'
attorney, was Just closing his argument
with an eloquent appeal on behalf Of his
client, winding up by exclaiming, Let
justice be done though the heavens fall. -
THIS was too much for her hall dozen lady
friends in court, who began to applaud
the attorney. Their hand clapping made
a great noise in the almost empty court
room. Judge Blodgett instantly inter
rupted them exclalming, stop 1t, stop
it. This is no town meeting. Mr..
Marshal, clear the court room, growing
very red IN the face in the meantime.
Deputy Marshal George Jones left his
seat and advanced towards the ladies'. and
although they were now quiet he motioned
them toward the door, exclaiming with
more force than eloquence, Get out, get
out "
Ex-Judge White, whose daughter
OLucY Wbite) was one of the ladies pres
eDt, was on his feet in an instant. Your
honor, ~ said he, lit is easily seen that the
applause was only the impulse Of the
moment i
Don't matter" exclaimed Blodgett,
now thoroughly angered, let those people
leave the rOom.'
The ladies' left, looking abashed. and at
once held a meeting in the corridors, say
ing that they we're not used 10 court room
etiquette. None, however, returned to
iace the angry presiding Judge. Previous
to this dramatic enisode the arguments
were made. Edwin Walker, for the
board of control, argued that Miss Couz-
ms never held an office, but was subject to
the same rules covering other employees.
Col. Roe and ex-Judge White argued IN
favor Of Miss CouzIns, citing strong au
thorities in support of her case, notably
the decision Of a Philadelphia court IN a
suit of similar character begun during the
centennial and decided in favor OF the dc
posed official The case was held under
adyisement by Judge Blodgett.
