A Complicated Lawsuit.

If the besetting sin of the Singhalese
is their inordinate love of litigation, this
certainly is fostered by their very
troublesome law of inheritance, which
results in such minute subdivisions Of
property that the one hundred and nine
ty-ninth share of field, or the fiftieth
of asmau garden, Containing, perhaps,
a dozen palms and few plantains), be-
come fruitful source of legal conten-
ton, of quarrels and of crime. Emerson
Tenant mentions case in which the
claim was for the two thousand five
hundred and twentieth share in the pro-
duce of ten cocoa palms.
To illustrate this sort of litigation the
Rev. R. Spence Hardy quoted an intri-
cateclaim on disputed property, in which
the case of the plaintiff was as follows:
"By inheritance through my father am
entitled to one-fourth of one-third of
one-eighth. Through my mother l am
further entitled to one-fourth of one
third of one-eighth. BY purchase from
one set of co-heirs / am entitled to one
ninety-ninth; from another set also one

Regulating Nrisanceg.

Organ grinders, like Artemus Wards
Betsy Jane, want a little regulating"
at times in London, and the prospects of
Mr.. Jacoby's modest legislative efforts
to this end will probably be frightened
by the reports which Lord Salisbury has
lately gathered from our representatives
abroad. In Vienna, it seems, licenses
are granted by the police to itinerant
musicians, but only to those who are un
able to earn their livelihood by any other
means. In Paris anybody wishing to
perform las an itinerant mountebank,
organ grinder, musician or singer" must
apply for license to the project of po-
lice, and it is obligatory that a certificate
of good character accompany the appli-
cation. In Berlin "those persons who
as means of livelihood and not in the
interest of art perform on musical in
struments in open places or public streets
or in courtyards," require license from
the local police. In Rome the matter is
provided for by the law of public Sc
curity, and organ grinders are not al
lowed by the Russian government to re-
side in st. Petersburg. In Madrid they
are suppressed" as an ''intolerable nui-
sance. London Telegraph.

The Lobster Catch.

Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island
advices go to show that the lobster catch
for the season, which closed Aug. /, was
the most successful of any season for the
past ten or twelve years. Especially is
this the case with the factories border
ing on the Northumberland straits. A
gentleman interested in lobster canning
makes the statement that these factories
will on the whole average a net profit of
about $4,000 each. Taking into con-
sideration the fact that the season for
catching HOLSTERS is by law restricted to
June and July, this profit must be re-
garded as enormous.
The benefit of the short season is now
becoming apparent in the increased
catch, which is almost double that of
previous years, while the Holsters are
just the right size for canning purposes.
Such has been the rapid spread of the
canneries that every available site along
the shores of the Straits of Northumber-
land has been taken up, and parties de-
sirous of investing money in the business
are withheld by the difficulty of procur-
ing favorable cove or beach.
A good idea of the profits of lobster
canning may be gathered from the fact
that while pound tin is put up ready
for shipment at cost of about nine
cents they are taken from the canneries
by wholesale dealers who pay from
seventeen to twenty cents per tin. An
American firm owning fourteen factories
ships its entire product to the French
and English market direct, and all its
tins are labeled "Machias Bay Lobsters," !"
notwithstanding the fact that the con-
tents were caught in Dominion waters,
put up on Canadian soil and by Nova
Scotia workmen. Montreal Gazette

cement stronger Than stone.

From number of careful tests made
to ascertain the precise strength of an
chor bolts set in Portland cement in the
ordinary way, the fact appeared that the
joint was really stronger than the stone.
In this demonstration 2-inch iron rods
were set into the stones some lit inches,
and then subjected to the test. The first
rod had a screw thread to improve the
grip of the cement, and the cement be-
gan to yield at a load of $4,000 pounds,
the breaking of the stone taking place at
90, 900 pounds. With plain, smooth
rod it was found that the cement began
to yield at load of $4,000 pounds, but
the rock broke at 81 900 pounds. Thus,
though the strength of the cement joint
was not developed, it was inferred that,
in a suitable setting, the cement joint on
smooth rod might be made to break
the rod. New York Sun.

The TASTE For POETRY.
How Ono Author Discovered His Love
for Verse at the Age of Fifteen.

How Ono Author Discovered His Love
for Verse at the Age of Fifteen.
1t would be interesting, were it pos
sible, to know what proportion of peo-
pie really care for poetry. and how the
love of poetry came to them and grew in
them-and where and when it stopped.
Modern poets whom one meets are apt
to say that poetry is not read at all.
Byron's Murray ceased to publish poetry
in 1880, just when Tennyson and Brown
ing were striking their preludes. Prob
ably Mr.. Murray was wise in his gen.
Grafton.
But it is also likely that many persons
even now are attached to poetry, though
they certainly do not buy contemporary
verse. How did the passion come to
them2 How long did it stay? When did
the Muse say goodby? To myself poetry
came with Sir Walter Scott, for one
read Shakespeare as child, rather in a
kind of dream of fairyland and enchanted
isles, than with any distinct conscious
ness that one was occupied with poetry.
Next to Scott, with me, came Longfel-
low, who pleased one as more reflective
and tenderly sentimental, while the re-
Elections We're not so deep as to be puz-
zling. l remember how "Hiawatha"
came out, when one was a boy, and how
delightful was the free forest life, and
Minnehaha and Paupukkeewis and No
komis. Onedid not then know that the
same charm, with yet fresher dew
upon it, was to meet one later in the
Kalewala But at that time one had
no conscious pleasure in poetic style,
except in such ringing verse as Scotts.
and Campbell's in his patriotic pieces.
The pleasure and enchantlnent Of style
first appealed to me at about the age of
fifteen, when one read for the first time:
So all day long the noise of battle rolled
Among the mountains by the northern sea;
Until King Arthur's Table, man by man,
Had fallen in Lyonesse about their Lord.
Next tried Tennyson, and instantly a
new light of poetry dawned, new music
was aodible, new god came into my
medley of Pantheon, god never to be
dethroned. Men scarcely know how
beautiful fire is" Shelley says. l am
convinced that we scarcely know how
great poet Lord Tennyson is; use has
made him too familiar. Lang

Sheds Her Skin Regularly.

DR.. Frank, whose paper on cases of
human beings who shed their skin regu-
larly created so much interest in the
Chicago Medical society, has received
the following letter from Mrs. E. Shut,
of Admah, Washington county, Neb.:
81 am thirty nine years old, and since
the year 1876 have had an attack of this
kind every second or third year regular
ly. In March, 1889, had a very bad
time and entirely shed my skin. In May
of the same year l had another spell, as
l call it. My skin came off in the same
manner as this man you wrote about.
My hair falls off every time and my nails
come out. In March of this year it was
the same old story. My symptoms were
the same as those of Mr.. Price. My mo-
tive in writing to you is to prove to you
there is another case like the one you
write about. Omaha Bee.

"When."


Most people who read a paper would
like to have it come to their hands with
out any typographical or editorial err
rors. This is quite possible when all the
following conditions come together:
When the contributor has written cor
rectly.
When he has written the correct thing
distinctly.
When the compositor has only the cor
rect letters in the different cases.
When he does not take letters from a
wrong case.
When he sets them correctly.
When the ''reader" corrects every err
ror.
When the compositor corrects the
trough proof" properly.
When the reader" reads the corrected
proof attentively.
When the compositor corrects the Sec
ond proof properly.
When the revised proof is carefully
read"
When the reader" has sufficient time
to do this.
And when dozen other circumstances
work together for good. Exchange.

truder prisoner. The clam had shut
down upon hind leg of rat. The ro-
dent squealed and the noise attracted at
tention enough to inquire into the cause
of it. The rat was slain, but it could
not be released until the shells Of the
clam were smashed to pieces. Williams

The Same Old Fish

A few years ago the United States fish
commissioners liberated in Ipswich bay
a number of young Goldfish, and to dis
tinguish them from the many thousands
that might afterward be caught clipped
off the small left abdominal fin. Will
liam R. Corbett, of Cutler, Me-, while
fishing off Little river or Cutler harbor
the other day, caught three Goldfish which
he says are the identical ones liberated
by the commissioners, as they each had
the same fin clipped off. They were
when caught twenty inches long, being
fat, healthy fish.-Boston Herald.
