"A SET OF CURIOUS CHANCES. "
A rather Singular Circumstanee Growing
Out OF tho County Election
Contempt Cases.

The supreme court devoted yesterday
afternoon to hearing arguments on the
application OF ex-county commissioners,
J. H. Sloan and Teodoro Martinez, to be
released from the county Jail where they
had been committed upon the order Of
Judge Seeds for their violation Of the
injunction growing out Of the election
cases. Messrs. Knaebel and Bartlett ap.
peared on behalf of the territory and
made able, eloquent and elaborate argu.
ments sustaining the legality OF the lower
courts position, and Laughlin, Downs
and half dozen others represented the
prisoners. As result the court took the
case under advisement.
The court consented to release the
prisoners pending its decision upon con-
dition that they each give bonds in the
SUM Of $500 for their appearance in court
from day to day, and satisfactory bonds
were given.
However. Ly some mysterious and
rather singular proceeding OF the attorneys
for the imprisoned parties, Pedro
Delgado, the county clerk, also IN jail for
contempt, and whose case ia entirely diff
ferent and has not as yet been brought
before the supreme court-by some very
singular cir unistance, Pedro Delgado
Was also allowed to give $500 bonds and
therenpon Was released from jail.
This nornlny the court again assembled
for the purpose Of hearing arguments
upon the application which it Was ex.
pected ~euld be brought up on behalf
Of the county clerk, asking his release
from Jail. Attorney Smith asked a post
ponement of tits hearing until Monday,
saying in substance that Mr.. Chill
ders would then sppear and he ready
to make the argument. The court

brought it, but as it could not be found
he was finally brought to believe that
he had not. By this time the atten-
ton of the whole room was drawn SO

the poor old darkey was nearly wild.

with eyes almost starting out of his

LAS he made the remark the black
leg attempted to remove the tidbit
with his fork. The Trojan had not
yet surrendered the carving utensils.
As the gamblers hand approached the
morsel the carver made a sudden jab
at it with the heavy fork. The prongs
of the latter passed through the flesh
and pinned the gamblers hand to the
table.

for dinner table" continued the
speaker. 1--WE all expected that the
injured man would resort to his dagger
or pistol, but he did not He skunk

wound was dressed, nor did he venture

act excessively brutal?" the gentleman
was asked by mis- auditor.

ply. "On the contrary. every one

DIR. b. w. Richardson of London, the
noted physician, says he was recently
able TO convey d considerable amount
OF conviction to an intelligent scholar
by Il simple experiment. The scholar
was singing the praises of the rudy
bumper, and saying he could not get
through the day without it, wnen DIR.
Richardson said TO him, ''Will you be
good enough to feel my pulse as stand
here? He did so. [ So, Il: Count it
carefully. What does it say" Your
pulse says seventy-four." | then sat
down III a chair, and asked him TO count
it again. He did SO, and said Your
pulse has gone down to seventy" I
then lay down on the lounge, and said,
''Will you take it again?" He replied:
why, it is only siXty-four! What an
extraordinary thing!n | then said:
when you lie down at night, that is
the way nature gives your heart rest.
You know nothing about it, but that
beating organ is resting to that extent;
and, if you reckon it up, it has a great
deal Of rest, because in lying down the
heart is doing ten strokes less minute.
Multiply that by sixty, and it is 600;
multiply it by eight hours, and, within
a fraction, it is 5000 strokes different
and, as the heart is throwing six ounces
OF blood at every stroke, it makes
difference Of 80. 900 ounces of life dur
ing the night. When | lie down at
night without any alcohol, that is the
rest my heart gets. But when you take
your wine or grog. you do not allow
that rest, for the influence of alcohol is
to increase the number of strokes; and
| instead OF getting this rest, you put on
something like 10, 900 extra strokes,
and the result is you rise up very seedy
and unfit for the next days work till
you have taken a little more OF the
rudy bumper which you say is the

Rank of ENGLAND Paper.

Every one may not know that the
Bank OF England notes are made from
new white linen cuttings-never from
anything that has been worn. So care
fully is the paper prepared that even
the number of dips into the pulp made
by each workman is registered on q
dial by machinery, and the sheets are
counted and booked to each person
through whose hands they pass. They
are made at Laverstroke, on the River
Whit, in Hampshire, by family
named Portal, descending from
French Huguenot refugee, and have
been made by the same family for moro
than $50 years. They are printed
within the building, there being an
elaborate arrangement for making
them so that each note of the Same
denomination shall differ in some par
ticular from the other.

Russian Persecution Of Jews,

Ingenious is one adjective that de-
scribes the special taxes imposed upon
Jews in Russia. They seem devised
with the object of causing the greatest
amount of humiliation and inconven-
fence possible.
A fixed sum has to be paid for every
ANNA and fowl killed according to
the Jewish regulations, and an addi-
tional tax is levied upon the sale.
A Jew who has taken a degree at a
university may, however, purchase two
and one-half pounds of meat a day
free of tax if he be single, Or four and
one-half pounds if he be married.
There are further taxes on candles,
on rents of buildings, on the gross in
come received from the sale of wine in
public houses, on glass works, copper
works, tar, pitch and tallow works.
And d tax of five silver rubles a year
Is imposed as condition of obtaining
license to wear skull cap.

Can These Things Be-

The chief French surgeons aud med
ical professors have for some time been
carefully studying the effects of mes
merism on the female patients of the
oalpetriere hospital and NJ. Babinski,
a clinical surgeon of that establish
ment, has effected a series of expert
ments which would seem to open up
new future for medical science. In
proving that certain hysteTical symp-
toms could be transferred by aid of the
magnet from one patient to another,
he took two subjects, one a dumb
woman afflicted with hysteria, and the
other female who was in a state of
hypnotic trance! A screen was placed
between the two and the hysterical
woman put under the influence of a
strong magnet. After d few moments
she was able to speak, while the one
in the hypnotic trance was rendered
as dumb as the hysterical woman had
been. Luckily for the healthier pa
tients, these transformations were only
temporary.

PINNED TO THE IA BILE.
A Traveller Relates an Incident Of Old
Time Etiquette

A Traveller Relates an Incident Of Old
Time Etiquette.
The custom has not yet ntirely been
abolished in some out of the way
hotels, says the, New York Herald, of
electing some one guest at dinner to
carve for the others at table.
Forty years ago the practice was the
rule rather than a rarity. 1t was con-
sidered then in the light of corpli-
ment and not as an imposition, as it
would most certainly be regarded to-
day. At that time men prided them
selves on their ability to dissect joint
or fowl and accepted the task of
carving for twenty people most
graciously.
A prominent hardware merchant in
the city, who in early life travelled for
the house of which he is now the senior
member, bears testimony to the truth
of the above-stated condition of things
and relates one of his early experiences
in connection with il as follows:
Il was travelling from Buffalo to
Detroit by steamer, a favorite method
of making that trip in the early days.
At dinner time the captain asked a
prominent brush manufacturer of Troy.
n. Y, to carve for the passengers.
The gentleman thanked the captain
for the honor and proceeded to carve
wild turkey, which by no means was
rarity in the western part of this
country thirty-five or forty years ago.
He carved exceedingly well, and
was very just in the service of in
dividual portions. He helped himself
last, and placed on his plate the tidbit
of the turkey, which morsel was at
that time considered the carver's
honorarium.
'tAs he was about to take his seat
men stood to carve wild turkeys then
"a drunken and quarrelsome gambler,
who had caused us great annoyance
with his oaths and inporiuGities to
play ever since we had left Buffalo,
reached over from his seat and sal id:
Excuse me. sir, but you have on your
plate portion of the turkey of which

Bright and early every morning the
five little Dobers are hustled out of
bed, the eldest, a girl of nine though
small for her age is an extremely
handy young miss and a great help to
her mother. She peels the nighties off
her little brothers and sisters likewise
her own, and loads them into the wire
basket. Next she throws in a handful
OF wafered soap and then joins the little
band of candidates for immersion.
When everything is ready Mother
Dober, who has been attending to her
household duties in the meantime,
comes out and mans the windlass crank.
She lowers her happy little flock down
into the clear, cold water and gives
them thorough dousing by working
the crank backward and forward. This
movement and the commotion made in
the basket by the children produces a
lather from the soap and cleanses the
kids in a manner equal. if not superior,
to the regulation hand bath.
Unlike most children, who kick and
raise fuss when being scrubbed, the
little Dobers actually enjoy their matu-
final plunge bath.

FIVE AT A TIME.
Ingenious and Original Device OF q Thrifty
Tacoma Woman.

Mrs. Hannah Dober, the mother OF
five little Dobers, has invented the
most unique toilet apparatus on record,
says the Tacoma News. 1t is a ma
chine that bathes, rinses, drips and
dries the entire Dober brood simultane-
ously by the simple turning of a crank.
The Dobers live on the water 'front.'
near the old salmon cannery, back of
Old Town. Like many of the houses
in thai vicinity the home of the Dobers
is built on piles. At high tide the back
porch of this humble home extends
over the water, and this fact was ia
vorable to the idea which Mother
Dober had worn concealed in her mind
for some time. With the assistance of
her husband, the enterprising but
overwOrked woman cut a hole in the
flooring of the back porch about four
feet square, and then built a windlass
like those in use on Old-fashiOned well
curbs. Then she got a quantity of
stout wire gauze or screens and made
crate or basket that would easily
slip through the hole in the floor. This
basket, which was about three feet
deep, was hung in sings fastened at
the four corners and then attach ed to
the drum of the windlass. The baby
washer was now complete and ready
to be put in operation.

When the Century Begins.

How many people there are whose
ideas are misty as to the time when the
century begins and ends! The writer
has seen at least twice in reputable
publications the statement that George
Bancroft, who was born in 1900, was
born in the ''first year in the present
century" A moments consideration
must convince even mind OF more
than average stupidity that 1900 was
the last year of the last century, and
not the opening year of the present
one. The first century comprised 100
years, and did not end with the year
SO; it was not completed until the last
moment of the last day of the year 100.
The same blunder is likely to crop out
again and again as the close of the
present century draws near, and one
of the most frequent inquiries address
ed to the omniscient editor by the in
telligent correspondent will be as to
whether the twentieth century begins
with 1900 or 1901.

Antiaulty of EsoPem a king.

Before the beginning Of the histor-
ical period considerable skill in rope
making had been acquired, enough so
that it must be classed among the old
est of the arts. The existing relics OF
the ancient Egyptians include sculpt-
ures showing the process of manufac-
ture practised more than 1000 years
ago The oldest records of that peo-
pie speak OF ''well-made ropes of good
strength" Flax and fibres of the date
palm were used in making some of
these ancient ropes, but grasses and
the skins of animals were probably
among the first materials used.

THE HUMBUG OF PROVERBS.
Assuming to be the Essence of Wisdom
They Are Often Unwise.

Assuming to be the Essence of Wisdom.
They Are often Unwise.
a pr0verb has been defined as the
wisdom OF many and the wit of one.
Into many proverbs are packed pithy
suggestions as to conduct and general
lied experience of mankind. They are
sarcastic, h0rtative, minatory, mirth-
provoking, but they are not wiser than
the people that make them. Hence.
many of them, some of them most
widely current, are arrant humbugs.
L they We're once true to experience.
under certain conditions, they are true
no longer. To say this is fat co1.r.,-
dictiOn Of that well-known pro4l-.?,.
Nobody is wiser than everybodr =. -"
but even that is one of the humbu"s.
1t not infrequently happens that y
single man is wiser than his whole
generation. Such men become tir>t
the leaders, then the martyrs. of thcir
age, but are the saints and heroes of
the ages that follow. As fragrant IL
stance Of proverbial unwisdom and
humbug, take the distich that has been
dlnned into the ears of unnumbered
generations of children:
Early to bed, and early to rise,
Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise
This is terse and witty generalization
OF a pastoral community, where to get
On in the world ii was necessary to
work in the fields from sun up" to
''sun down" 1t has no application
whateve" to town life. The wealthy
and wise men of towns are mon who
work late and rise late; and as to
health, ii is notorious that no part Of our
population so suffers from all manner
OF diseases as farmers and their fam
lilies. Yet how many have been de-
prived of their natural sleep by a
SUPERSTITION, beg0t Of this wretched
rhyme. that early rising is conducive
to health. It is only in recent years
that people have had the courage to
take the sleep mat nature demanded.
The man who did so d generation ago
was called ,1azy'-the most intoler-
able of all epithets. Franklin never
aimed d provorb at him: Men need
five hours sleep, women six, children
and fools seven.
Nowadays. the man who takes less
than eight Is fool. Take some of the
maXims intoxicating shrewd business
policy: "A penny saved is penny
earned has ruined many man who
could not persuade himself to spend
money with judlclous lavishness in en-
larglng his business. The penny saved
was so large in his eyes that it hid the
dollar lost by his foolish economy.
Out of debt out Of danger" and
Better go to bed supperless than rise
in debt are a precious pair that have
brought many to the poor house. Debt
is the only salvation of many man.
Not debt recklessly incurred by ex-
trayagant living beyond his means.
but debt incurred in the purchase of
home or the establishing of a business.
Where would modern commercial af-
fairs be but for credit. But credit
means debt; for il A trusts B, must
owe A. Debt makes many man
careful and saving, who would spend
all he gets if he had no pressing
obligations to meet. So he is forced,
as it were in spite of himself, to pro-
vide for sickness and old age.-New
