An eminent lord chief justice who
was trying a right Of way case had be-
fore him a witness, an old farmer,
who was proceeding to tell the jury
that he had "knowed the path for six
ty year, and my fether tould I as he
heerd my grandfather zay-'' "Stop!"
said the judge. We can't have any
hearsay evidence here"
"Not!" exclaimed Farmer Giles.
'"Then how dost know who thy feyther

judge said: Gin courts of law we can
only be guided with what you have
seen with your eyes, and nothing

piled the farmer. "I ha' got a boil on

Wedding Rings For Men,

An invariable custom prevailing
among Creole women is to insist that
at the marriage ceremony the bride
groom shall receive narrow, plain
gold wedding ring, which he is obliged
never to put from the third finger of
his left hand until death parts them
twain. To be without this seal of
wedlock is held shameful to wife, but
now, for the first time, women every
where are making positive demands
upon q fair exchange in the matter.
These latter-day brides give their liege
lords no costly ornament for thehan
to attract admlring attention, but
severely simple jewels OF heavy polish
ed gold, that both weight and purity
may be accepted symbolically, and

The Ice-Pick SuperSeded,

A newly invented machine for the
cracking of ice is rapidly cominginto
use. This consists of a hopper, under
meath which are two cast-iron plates
covered with teeth, the: plates being
setat angles to each other, open at the
bottom. Two perforated sheet-steel
plates extend from opposite sides Of
the top of the hopper to nearly the
bottom of the teeth, the perforated
plates being parallel with the teeth
plates. When the lever handle is
pushed down the teeth are pressed to-
gether and the ice is crushed. One Of
the teeth plates is adjustable, and by
it the size OF the ice leaving the ma
chine may be regulated. Themachine
cracks ice rapidly, easily, uniformly
and economically; and as it is adjust
able large or small Jumps can be had
as required. All the working parts
that the ice comes in contract with
are galvanized so as to prevent rust
ing. The machine is IN successful
operation in several oil the leading
cafes and saloons in New Y ork.-Pitts-

A BROTHAR's TRIBUTE.
An EuloGistic Memorial OF the Late Prof
Alex Winchen.

Alex Winchell.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Aug 25.
AT the annual meeting ot the Geological
Society of America to-day Prot. N. III.
Winchell, who fills the chair Of geology in
the Minnesota state university read a
touching and eulogistic memorial Of his
dead brother, Prof. Alex Wincbell, the
last elected president of the society, who
was well known in Minnesota.
The memorial was quite lengthy, and re-
viewed the dead geologist's lie from his
birth, Dec. 81. 1884, in Duchess county, N.
Y, to his death at Ann Arbor Feb. last
His work was many sided. He had studied
to be civil engineer; had a strong leaning
toward theology. He also read medicine
and was fine mathematician. He loved
music; wrote poetry, and modelled in clay
and plaster As a financial resource he be-
came teacher, and was very successful
He became famous by his arguments on
"The Bible History of the Creation" He
published in the Christian Advorate
"Adamites and Pre-Adamites," far
reaching exposition Of Scriptural and sci
entitic harmony. For four years he lee
tured on geology at Vanderbilt university
During his long connection with the uni
versity Of Michigan he wrote many scien-
tiic articles ola popular nature, and did q
great deal toward popularizing geology.
The speaker spoke eloquenty Of his dead
brothers long and splendid connection
with the Ann Arbor university.
His death was most touchlngly described.
Oddly enough the last words he uttered in
public were these: when speak to you
again it will be of the inhabitants of an
other world" He had just finished his
weekly lecture and referred in his closing
sentence to the subsequent lecture that was
never delivered. He was most prolific
writer. His sketches on "Creation" are a
very widely read book, and manv other
works written in refutation of evolutionary
ideas being very successful. He discovered
many new geological species, and many
other geolosists testified their admiration
for him by naming Species they discovered
after him. His great work for the geolosi-
cal society was touched on, and in closing
the living brother said that the new gen
Grafton keenly feel the benefcent influence
OF his work.
AT the conclusion of the memorial Prof
Edward Orton DR.. G. A. White and G. r.
Vanhise were appointed a committee to
draft resolutions expressive of the societyS
regret at the death of its president.

MOSBY ON HIS MUSCLE.

The Ex-Guerri1la Chieftain Whips an
Insulting Street Car Conductor.
SAN Francisco. Aug. 25.-Fur flew on a
Leavenworth street car yesterday A con-
ductor collided with Col. John S. Mosby,
the old guerrilla chie:tain, and the colonel
lald the conductor in remnants on the
floor. Then the gripman tried to slay the
colonel as he was shaking the PROSTATE
remnants of the conductor. Then the
ladies in car came to the old colonel's res
cue and carpeted the dummy with the grip
mans hair.
The colonel started out from his hotel
for quiet ride on the cable cars. Owing
to the crowd Mosby was obliged to take an
inside seat. Presently the inside began to
fill up. Alady entered and looked around
Every seat was taken. The colonel gave
courtesy the colonel looked around and
noticed that some of the seats on the grip
had become vacant. The afternoon was
scorching hot and the colonel went outside.
May cross to the dummy" he asked
the gripman. You can't, and you know
it,, said that official.
Hot words followed. The colonel knocked
the conductor down and hammered him.
The car was stopped and the gripman, a
iargs, powerful man attacked Mosby. Three
lady passengers assisted by pulling the
gripman's hair. Squeals rent the air. the
gripman got up and bolted; so did Col.
Mosby; so did the battered conductor, anu
the latter chased out to seek the police
Alterward Col. Mosby said:
Generally I try to stomach insults from men
in that class, for hate a row. But you see
that Mitkewicz affair has made me bit lrrita-
Die, and so smashed the fellow.
Mosby bears few marks of the encount-

New Method by Which Spurs May
be Grated.

- NEW Method Dy Which Spurs May
be Grated.
The Hon. J. T. Younger, of
Osceola, Mo-, once a prominent
member OF the Missouri legislature,
and who is best known by his full
name, Thomas Jefferson Younger,
tells this story;
Some months ago I saw a state
ment in a St. Louis newspaper about
a rooster with a spur on mis- head
that seemed to be attracting consider
able attention. This apparent freak
OF mature can be accomplished by a
simple surgical operation. Take a
young rooster. When his spur is only
a bud, make an incision around his
spur; then, with the point OF the
knife, lift the spur off, taking with it
the cartilaginous formation; next
make an lncision on the head, or any
other place where the bone can be
reached, place the spur therein, close
up tightly the cutical around the
spur with a few stitches and keep the
chicken enclosed until the graft or
spur has healed and adhesion has
taken place. The spur will then be as
solid as though nature had caused it
to grow there and it will continue it's
normal growth. The young spur or
the germ of a spur, can be grated
either on the foot by the same
process, which is similar to the
grating of. budding peaches. Squire
Berry, OF near johnson City, St. Clair
County, is all expert at that business,
and while scientific men may expert
ment in that direction, if they desire,
we stand ready to demonstrate it as
fact."-St. Louis Republic.

Thoughts to Remember,

In feeding linseed meal to calves,
pour boiling water on it and let it
stand until it jellies. Then pour more
hot water ON to thin it and mix it
with SKINNED milk. The Iinseed meal
takes the place Of the cream and is
just as good for the calf; and better
for the calf's owner because much
cheaper. When q calf gets the acours
it does not look bright. Nor does it
show much brightness on the part of
the feeder. Nine times in ten the
scours is the feeders fault. And, GEN
orally the tenth time too. There are
many remedies for the scours, some
very simple, some very complicated,
The best one is to let the calf alone
for a while. Skip one meal or two,
then feed very lightly the next. And
so work up to a full feed again, but be
careful not to oyerfeed. Too rapid
increase in feed is one OF the chief
causes OF scours in calves.-National
