What tho Interpreter Found Out.

A strange looking man was placed in
the dock charged with being drunk and i'll
capable. When addressed by the magis-
trates he munbled some incohcrent moth
ings and stared vacantly about the court.
One of the justices, suggesting that the
man was foreigner, spoke to him in Ger
man, but this the accused did not seem to
understand.
1t was then decided, as no interpreter
was present, to send to another court for n
well known warrant officer who speaks five
European tongues. On his arrival this
officer endeavored to make the prisoner
understand his position, trying him with
sentences in several different languages,
but all to no purpose, until he finally came
to the conclusion that the man must be
English. He then put the simple question,
Are you an Englshman2" and amid a
roar of laughter came the answer, YES"
The accused, it afterward TRANSFERRED, had
slight impeachment in his speech, and was
also trfle dcaf.-London Tit-Bits.

All I'm n Life of Sixty y.,,rs

Uncle Alex" Crockett, compositor OF

spent the greater portion of his life at the
case, and this is what he has accomplished:
AT an average of three columns day he
has ''set up" Sc. 100 columns.
This type put in a newspaper of eight
columns to the page would fill 1920 pages.
AT fire minutes per column it would take
one year, three months and thirteen days
to read this amount of matter
If measured by the lem" it would aggre
gate 40,+00,000
AT thirty-five cents per 1000 ems this
amount of labor would be worth $40, 40.
This much type would weigh ISL, $40
pounds 1t would contain 42l 200, 600 letters
If these letters were laid end to end they
would cover distance of 5,SlGL miles
1t Would make II ,2232, 900 lines.
He could Lave set the unabridged edi-
ton of Wchs.crs Dictionary thirteen
times or the Bible forty-five times
If placed in one long column it would
reach twenty-five miles,
If the metal were nodded into bullets it
would furnish ammunition to fight the
war of 1912 and then have enough type left
to set five copies of Poor Richards AL

Euculyntua Oil.

The virtues Of eucalyptus oil, which
came into such favor in this country dur
ing the influenza epidemic, were found ont
i'll singular way. a General Stratton
planted fifty-five acres near Haywards,
in California, in 1860. chiefly for timber
purposes In 1883 it was discovered that a
decoction of the leaves would remove the
incrusted scales from boilers. While the
engineers were preparing the liquid they
imagined the odor cured one of bronchitis
and the other Of asthma. and they started
a factory to extract the oil at San Lorenzo.
Considerably over 10000 pounds of the oil
have been sent to England from California
