Don't Monkey With the Court.

Tuesday evening, after the Camp
bell case had been disposed of, r. A.
Rlepe and Howard Baker, Of Snake
Valley, were arraigned before Judge
Talbot for contempt Of Court. Mr..
Riepe WAS charged with unlawfully
approaching witnesses in the Camp
bell case md trying to sit on that jury,
when he was actually biased and unfit
to do so. The Court gave Mr.. Rlepe
wholesome lecture and fined him
$25 and costs, which was light, con-
sldering the very grave offense of
tampering with the due administra-
ton of Justice in our Court.
Mr.. Bakers offense was GOT an un
usual ono, and less repreherslble
than the one above mentioned. 1t
was running away from an officer to
evade service as a juror. The Court
gave Mr.. Baker some good advice and
fined him 500 for contempt. It Is
safe to say he will not soon again put
spurs to his horse when a Deputy
Sheriff appears in sight.
Some people down in Newark and
Coal Creek Valleys, we learn, are in
the habit OF evading tho officers when
wanted for jury service. They had
better heed the experience of Mr..
Baker, and quit their vain tricks be-
foreit is too late. Judge Talbot will
stand no "monkeyiug" with his
Court.-LW White Pine Netcs.

Disobnfented Arabs,

The Arab landowners on the African
coast opposite Zanzibar presented a
petition to Mr.. Portal, the British agent
at Zanzibar, complaining that they
were being ruined by the cheap price Of
cloves, and making some very uncom-
plimcntary remarks about the sultan Of
Zanzibar, who, they said, was stnpid
and unmindful of the interests of his
people, Mr.. Portal sent the petition
back with the information that he
would not consider it until they had
apologized and erased the offensive
lan9nage. This was done, and the
grieV ances of the Arabs are now under
consideration.

The Size of the Gulf Stream.

People think the Mississippi a great
stream, and it is so in truth, so far as
land rivers go, but great as it is it would
require 1000 such rivers to make one
Gulf Stream. The great ocean river is
an irresistible food of water, running
all the time, winter and summer, and
year after year. 1t is as difficult for the
mind to grasp its immensity as it is to
realize the distance of the nearest stars.
AT its narrowest part in the Straits of
Florida it is thirty miles wide, has
an average depth of 1000 feet and a
velocity at the axis-the point of fastest
fow-of from three to more than five
miles per hour. To say that the volume
in one hours flow past Cape Florida is
10000, 100000 tons in weight does not
convey much to the mind. If we could
evaporate this one hours flow of water
and distribute the remaining salt to the
inhabitants of the United States, every
man, woman and child would receive
nearly sixty pounds, Free Press.

The member of the Fearnot base ball
club are making preparations to hold a
picnic in the park ON the 18th. 1t
should be well patronized, as the boys
worked hard all summer to represent
the town creditably.
The delegate election passed off very
quietly here on Saturday, but as usual
the healers were out in full uniform
doing the forbidden act. This was to be

it would be something out of the general

here at a delegation election as if it was
for president. OF course, the bosses

When Man Was in Darkness.

Man was once in comparative dark
ness when the sun went down. His
primitive habitation was place of rest,
unlighted by the oil which prolongs the
hours of labor, doubles the speed of
progress and shortens life. After ages
of cropping about-feeling for the key
hole on the wrong side of the door, so to
speak-he stumbled ON the fact that fat
would make a light. Looking around
for something to hold the fat the skulls
of animals were found useful, and SO
the antediluvian discovered the princi-
pie Of portable illumination.
From skulls and seashells light pro-
ceeded to vessels of burned clay, dish
like, with wicks of fax, rushes and
other tibers. Many of these primitive
lamps have been found in the ruins of
Pompeii, Herculaneum and elsewhere,
but the invention Of the lamp is sup
posed to belong to the ancient East In
dians Until the beginning of the Nine
teenth century there was little i'm
provement in lamps. The candle kept
humanity in semidarkness, which was
relieved by the Introduction of mineral
oil, which stimulated invention and
brought about the lamp of beauty and
utility of the present. - Mechanical

On Saturday evening there was one Of

The Wends.

In outward appearance the Wends are
throughout a powerful, healthy and
muscular race, whose men are coveted
for the conscription. The first Ma
poleon's famous "Bouchers Saxons"-
the Saxon dragoons-were nearly all
Wends. And in the present day it is
the Wends who contribute the lions
share of recruits to the Saxon household
regiments. Their women are priced
throughout Germany as nurses. They
are all we'll built, well shaped, rich in
muscle and ninble in motion, like the
Laced@monian women of old. Next
to stature, the most distinctive external
feature of the race is their national
dress, which, as in most similar cases,
survives longest and in its most charac-
teristic form among women. AS be.

An enchanting and multiform artist
amorphous body, M. Renan offers in his
writings brilliant monument of con-
crete skepticism and complete exposi-
ton and apology of that dilettanteism
which is certainly ravaging the intellec-
tual classes of modern France. Wesay
"ravaging" Intentionally, because great
and exquisite as may be the joys procured
by dilettanteism, they are of noncre-
ative and unvirile kind. Indeed, if we
had not imposed upon ourselves the i'm
personal attitude of the compiler of an
inventory we should be tempted to call
attention to the harmony of M. Remains
physical and intellectual personality,
and to compare that great shapeless
body to some huge polype or anemone,
floating helplessly in the sea of proba-
bilities, rising or sinking, inclining to
the right or to the left, as instinct, or a
ray of sunlight, or the hazards of a cur
rent may inspire; but in any case merely
floating and otherwise incapable of
choosing direction and following it.
So M. Remains mind, thanks to multi
form appreciation combined with vast
inattention, is amused and fascinated by
the many sidedness of phenomena. 1t
sees at once ten or twenty phases, and
being incapable of the effort necessary
to decide which is the best, it sinks back
into the joys Of submarine mirage, and

BILE. Thomas Jefferson, of Saltwater,

and returned home wet to the skin and
said that he hooked big fish which

seven pounds weight was found dead or
dying in the river, and in its mouth was
found Thomas Jeffersons spoon hook,
and attached to his hook was his line.
The fisherman had told the truth. He
was standing up in his boat and the fish
caught him off his balance and pulled
him in.

panion being pulled into the water in
something the same way by lake trout
of less than half the weight of the pike.
The angler hooked the fish and at

him. The boat felt lighter and, looking
around, the oarsman found himself alone

An Odd Turkish superstItion.

An odd Turkish superstition is as fol-
lows: If one finds piece of bread lying
upon the ground he must pick it up, kiss
it and carry it until he finds a hole into
which the kiss can be inserted. To step
upon piece Of bread or to leave it lying
upon the ground is one of the unpardon-
able sins and dooms the offender to the
third hell, where he is perpetually gored
by an OK that has but single horn, that
in the center Of his forehead. Louis

Never send an article for publication
without giving thy name, for thy name
often secures publication of worthless
article.
Thou shalt not rap at the door of a
printing office; for he that heareth the
rap sneereth in his sleeve and loseth
time.
Thou shouldst never read the copy on
on the printers case or he may knock
thee down.
Never inquire of the editor the news;
for behold it is business to give it to thee
at the appointed time without asking
for it.
1t is not right that thou shouldst ask
him who is the author of an article, for
it is his duty to keep such things unto
himself.
When thou dost enter his office take
heed unto thyself that thou dost not look
at what may concern thee not, for that
is not meet in the sight of good breed
ing.
Neither examine thou the proof sheet,
for it is not ready to meet thine eve,
that thou mayest understand.
Prefer thine own town papers to any
other, and if thou hast not already done
so, subscribe for them Immediately.

Climbing pyramids, adoring

My prentice hand at buying,
Being ''sold;"
In the midst of these excursions,

Without end,
