BILL SMITHS LAW.
An Authority Manufactured for a Special
Occasion.

Am Authority Manufactured for a Special
Occasion.
An "old settler" from Kane county
dropped into the Iroquois club the other
day and was drawn into talking of the
early democratic warhorses of that dis
trict.
''B. F. Fridley-Fred Fridley every
body calls him-is about the only one of
the old, original, frst-crop democratic
leaders now left" said he. Hes the
quaintest character these prairies ever
produced. I've heard dozens of stories
told about him, but none that better
illustrates his keen understanding of
human nature and his ready resource
when in tight place, than this one,
concerning a certain case which he tried
before justice of the peace. Smiths
Leading Cases was frequently cited
authority in those days On this occa-
sion the attorney opposing Mr.. Fridley
read from this authority section which
quite demolished the latter's case In
concluding his argument Mr.. Fridley
said:
Nov, bout the law in this here
case. The attorney on t'other side has
read somethin' from Smiths Leading
Cases that he calls law. Now, yer
honor, who knows anything about this
man Smith? / useter know a Bill
Smith who jockeyed around with
hosses, but l didn't know he'd set up

in apparent surprise William Smith,

How serpents Move.
King Solomon acknowledged that
there were three things which are too
wonderful for me-yea, four, which
know not" and one of these was "tha
way of a serpent upon the rock" For
hundreds of years after the time of Sol
omon the snakes mode of progression
remained mystery. Latter-day men
of science have learned that his snake.
ships ribs furnish him with means Of
progression So, instead of having a
pair or two pairs of feet" they really
have from one hundred and fifty to tive
hundred pairs. Aristotle thought that
serpents had as many ribs as there are
days in month, but had he examined a
python he would have readily detected
nis mistake, that species having 400.
Snakes move in this way: Each vertebra
supports pair of ribs, which act like a
pair of legs, the ektremities being con.
nected by broad plate. The hind part
of this plate is free, and when the ribs
are moved forward that end is raised SO
that it takes hold of the surface under.

The Japanese Hairpins.

N
The chief distinction between the
appearance of the male and the fe-
male Japanese lies in the hair. THE
men shave nearly the whole of the
hair, while the women allow it to
grow, and even add to it by art when
required. 1t is then twisted and
coiled into elaborate and fantastic
patterns, which few Eastern hairdr,sss-
ers could initiate or equal. The hair
pins used are not so much for confin-
ing the locks in their places as for
actual adornment, and are very fash
ionable. They are of enormous size,
seven OF eight inches in length and
half an inch wide, and
are made OF various substances.
tortoise shell, carved wood and
ivory, many of them being com
posed Of carved figures adroitly piv-
oted so as to appear to dance at every
breath drawn by the wearer. Others
are made of glass, and are hollow and
nearly filled with some bright coloired
liquid. SO that at every movement of
the head an air bubble runs from one
end of the pin to the other, producing
a most curious effect in a strong light.
Sometimes an extra fashionable
woman will wear a dozen or more of
these pins in her hair, so that cit a
little distance her head looks as liz a
bundle of firewood had been looselv
stuck into it. The higher in rank the
Japanese woman, the more elaborate
her couture is likely to be.-1he Gen

THE Newark Sunday Call says that
as Don as summer visitors HE them
selves back to the cities and angling
at Greenwood Lake ceases, every win
ter resident in the vicinity immedi-
ately brings out a gill net and pro-
ceeds to sink it into the water with
the result thattons of perch and black
bass are shipped to market or peddled
about the country. This is a viola
ton of the law, of common sense and
of ordinary prudence. Greenwood
Lake is not q very large body
of water and it can not be long
before these gill nets will en-
tirely exhaust the supply of fish and
leave the lake tenantless. Then the
occupation Of these soulless fish
mongers will be gone-and so will all
the attraction that Greenwood has
for thousands of summer visitors.
Thus these fellows will kill the geese
that lay them golden eggs. wherein
they are bigger geese than the birds
they destroy. Since they do not
know enough to look out for their
own future welfare, the fish wardens
of the State should step in and pro-
tect them from themselves and at the
same time protect that portion of the
public which finds a keen delight in
the p~iscatorial sport that Greenwood
Lake affords and is willing to pay for.

There Isl movement on foot in favor of Alex
ander Sehles niger, editor OF the Ne1o JERSEY
Stdafs-Zeftua0 Ore of the pelegates says he
will nominate and vote for Edit or Schlesinger in
the Convehtion.-Aea c York World.
The one delegate must be Schles-
niger himself. Surely there is not an
other man in town who. would have
the effrontery to propose this fellow
for a public office. If he should be
nominated, by any chance. what fun
the Republicans would have showing
up the manner in which the city is
taxed to keep alive his handful, a
thing which has neither circulation
nor business, which a give the pub
lie no return, no value whatsoever for
their money, which would not live for
twenty-four hours if the city printing
were withdrawn from it.
Oh, yes, Schlesinger would be a
lovely nominee for a doubtful district
and a close contest. The exposure of
his exorbitant bills, of the illegal pay
ments that have been made him. of
the whole gross outrage of his official
designation would be a cheerful con-
tribution to the literature of the cam
paign. The Republican party could
easily get all the facts proven in court
too by making a simple motion in the
Supreme Court.

The State School Census Reform.
The tremendous success of the new
method of taking the school census is
a sad blow to the Republican news
papers and campaign orators. 1t de-
priyes them of one of their most
valued items of campaign SANDER.
The taking of this enumeration by
q State Commission has been stigma
tiled as a terrible example of central
.lization of power. 1t has been quoted
as an illustration of Governor Alb
belts alleged policy of concentrating
power in his own hands. In vain
Democratic legislators and officials
have explained that it was a reform
rendered absolutely necessary by
gross abuses in the local system of
enumeration. In vain, it has been
pointed out that the only way to
secure fair play was by having this
operation conducted by disinterested
agents, who were not striving to get
all the cash they could for their own
section of the State by fair means or
foul. The Republicans would not
have it. that way. They just sat
down to await the awful result.
The awful result is that for the first
time in a generation, we have had a
fair count. 1t appears the Demo-
cratic county of Hudson, the Repub-
lican county of Camden and the leu
trail county of Essex have been sys-
tematica1ly cheating the State by
claiming to have an enormously larger
school population than they really
possessed. This wrong is now wiped
out, and the immediate result is that
800, 600 less will be needed than here
tofore to pay the school allowances
from the State Treasury to the coun-
