SOME CURIOUS FACTS.
Selling Vegetables by Liquid Measurc-The
Oyster Law.

Selifng Vegetables ny Liquid Meoeure-The
Oyster Law.
"A curious state of things exists in this city. ="
said Mr.. H. J. Crouch, one of the sealers Of
weights and measures, to STAR reporter yes
terday. do you know that there are hardly
a half dozen merchants in the northwest sec
ton who know that there is a difference be-
tween a dry measure and a liquid measure.
They will sell beans and cranberries and other
such articles of commerce out Of the same
measure that they use for whisky wine and
gin. Now, liquid measure is several ounces to
the quart smaller than a dry measure. SO you
see II amounts to good deal in the long run.
No, do not know of case where they use
dry measure the larger of the two. for meas
uring liquids. Curious. but they seem to real
ize the difference that way.
Maryland oyster dealers take advantage of
Washington in the way of measures. In Mary
land the oyster measure is larger than the
standard bushel. and they make by buying by
their measure and then sending over
here and selling by the standard
measure the oysters they cannot dis
pose of over there. How's that? Why they
have in Maryland what they call Gull law.
which makes it an offense to sell oysters under
a certain size. The result is but natural.
The oyster men Gull off these small
oysters that they cannot dispose of
there and send them on to the Washington
market; so you see they make both ways.
quality and quantity. A law everywhere put
ting stop to the sale of oysters under certain
size would go long way toward the salvation
of the OYSTER

FROM the Chicago MAI
Mr. McSweeny was a thorough student of
human nature and master of the art of observa-
ton. Nothing escaped his notice While en-
gagged upon a case he watched the jury as a cat
watches a mouse. and frequently astonished his
clients by ending his arguments very abruptly
and submitting the matter to the jury.
I've known many case to be talked to
death after it had been won," he said: what is
the use of wasting time and breath after the
jury Is converted to your way of thinking? /
believe L can tell when | have my jury well
in hand. At that point stop. no matter in
what shape II leaves my speech. take it that
a client employs a lawyer to win his case and
not to display his rhetorical or oratorical
abilities"
The popularity of the great criminal LAWYER
was well shown at a murder trial in San Fran
cisco few years ago. Mr.. McSweeny APP
peared for the defendant. The state appar-
emily had made out a very clear case against
the prisoner When Mr.. McSweeny arose to
make his address TO the jury he carefully
avoided any reference to the facts set forth i'm
the evidence or the laws governing them. He
pointed out the terrible responsibility resting
upon the twelve men who were sitting in judg-
ment upon the life of one Of his fellow citizens
He added that the verdict of guilty would not
fall heaviest upon the prisoner. but upon his
family. He asked the jury TO think for
moment of the effect of an adverse verdict
Then the speaker drew a word-picture which
was a marvel of artistic rhetorical work He
brought before the ewes Of the iurymen the
home of the accused man. He showed the
patient and loving wife leaving her work to
cast many an anxious glance down the road to
see If her husband was yet In sight. eager TO
be the first to catch Ia glimpse of his figure in
the distance that steaming supper might await
him upon his arrival. He pictured three
ruddy-faced little children swinging upon the
old gate. waiting till papa should come home to
them again.
At this point the lawyer noticed that one of
the jurymen--a bluff old westerner-ha cog
siderable difficulty in swallowing large lump
which choked him and that there was sus-
piclous moisture in his eve.
The speaker paused. Turning toward that
juror he held out both hands as a little child
might have done to its father and said in a tone
that was scarcely audible: Gentlemen. YOU
must send him home to them shifting I'M
easily in his seat the juror blurted out: "Yes.
by =, we II do 1t. too"
Mcsweeny instantly sat down. The case was
won. His client was acquitted. But the most
interesting point in this case. perhaps was the
fact which the LAWYER afterward learned-that
the prisoner At the bar was an unmarried man.
