THE ORIGINAL CASE DECIDED.
1t Was in the Justices Court and Will he
Appealed.

III was IN the Justices COurt and VIII he
Appealed.
Judge Race Wednesday decided the case
OF Augu It Spoomer We. the Great North
ern railway, to recover judgment for the
extra cost entailed upon him 10 having
his family delayed at Bremen while
en- route to this country ON tickets pur-
chared from the railroad company's
agent here. The case is almost without
a parallel, and. as has already been pub
lishcd, involves many intricate legal
points. There is Il case in the Fourteenth
Wisconsin very similar, in which Judge
Swan gave an opinion in favor of the
appellant.
The main question at stake IN that
case and ia this one was whether the
railroad company selling the tickets was
a bOnatide agent OF the steamship com
pany and not responsible for any trouble
the latter corporation entailed upon the
purchaser.
Judge Race decided in favor Of the
plaintiff. awarding him judgment in full
The attorneys for the railroad claimed
the action should be non suited ON the
ground that the company only acted as
an agent for the steamship line anC
therefore was not "A party to the suit
On that ground they will appeal tn,
case to the district court.

organized January 8. 1891, reported that
! the society consisted of 81 members AMI
| had raised during the year II total OF
S:p1.. 81 for the benefit of the church.
The superintendent OF the Sunday
school, Mr.. Fred School. reported that
the total enrolment OF pupils amounted
TO fifty. and 4. &. Gaylord. clerk OF the

Why He Could Not Attend.

An amusing instance of the expedi-
ents resorted to by men summoned to
attend as common jurymen in order to
avoid serving in that capacity occurred
recently. One morning a little girl
whose eyes just peered above the desk
timidly exclaimed:
''Please sir, father can't come; he can't
put on his boots"
The judge asked the nervous little
creature what was the matter with her
parent. She hesitated. Evidently she
had not been instructed further than the
statement she had made, and looking
straight into the judges eyes said:
well, sir, father don't wear boots;
he's got wooden legs. l wasn't told to
say anything else, sir; that's all. Lon
don Tit-Bits.

Why the Sky La RIue.

The explanation of the blue of the
"vanlted canopy above us" is not to be
sought in the fact that the air, or its
constituent particles, reflect the readily
refrangible rays of short waved length
and let the less refrangible long waved
rays through. The short waves of light
the blue color-are much more strong
ly reflected than the long waved red
ones. Lord Raleigh has proven the blue
reflected in the light from tie sky to be
four-fifths times stronger than the yell
low color and six-sevenths times strong
er than the red. The violet is six
eighths times stronger than the yellow,
or about nine-tenths times more intense
than the long waves of red light.
These relations of intensity must
therefore cause the reflected light to
appear to be mostly blue. The blue of
the sky is also connected with the phe-
nomenon known as the polarization of
light, that color in the colored waves al
ways being polarized in the same direc-
ton, which is quite independent of the
nature of the turbid particles of the at
mosphere. As long as present condi-
tons exist the sky will be of blue colors
of varying intensity.-St. Louis Re-
public.

There was time when parrots were
regarded in India and elsewhere as
sacred, and anybody who dared to in
jure one of them was regarded as guilty
of dreadful crime. 1t is true that
since then they have fallen somewhat
from their high estate, and that in this
more degenerate age the common ANA
zon parrot has been shot in great num-
beers in the eastern parts of Brazil for
the prosaic purpose of making particu-
lar kind of soup to which the natives
are partial, while the naturalist wakes
quite eloquent when he sounds the
praises of parakeet pie.
But in our own country, though we
do not go either to the one extreme of
holding them sacred or to the other ex-
IRENE of putting them into pies, parrots
still occupy place of honor in our
households, and well behaved pretty
Poll" who has been duly instructed in
the accomplishments of her kind, is still
the source of as great degree of pleas
ure as ever.-Strand Magazine.

Western ProyincialIsms.

That is both a humorous and suggest
I've article which f, w. Howe, Of the
Atchison Globe, writes in The Forum.
He says frankly that he believes in
dustry, economy and good conduct will
bring better rewards in western town
than in any other communities on the
globe. AT the same time it seems
impossible for the inhabitants of the
young western towns to realize the vital
Importance of honesty, simplicity and
order They are all on the boom. 1t is
the boom business that hurts things
throughout the whole west. Mr.. Howe
says, 81 am an advocate of getting rid
of boom values in men as well as in
towns"
He finds, too, that "a promise will
bring more in the western market than
in any other market in the world"
The great need of western country
towns is manufactures. The people
themselves could establish these if they
would, but oftentimes they do not, but
merely sit still and clamor for eastern
capital" The particular insanity of
western towns is going into debt and
voting bonds that posterity will have to
pay for. 1.-THE county in which | live
has paid more interest than it ever voted
bonds, and the debt is still unpaid"
MIR. Howe is of the opinion, however,
that the real opportunities for money
making in the west are better now than
they ever We're before.
Western social life is injured by an
impression that people ought to quit
"society" as soon as they are married.
"Westcrn society is made up of young
people who are always more or less un-
interesting except from the standpoint
of good looks" Further, the unre-
strained liberty allowed between en-
gagged couples and young people of the
opposite sexes is dangerous and demon
alizing. "Our parlors are too often
loaing places for men who use all their
arts against the best interests of women
and society,"
Another popularity of western life Is
that nobody expects to live all his life in
the locality in which he is at present.
In Mr.. Howe's town the citizens threaten
to move to a larger place near by, where
they think they will be better appreci-
ated. In that town the people threaten
to move to Chicago, and in Chicago they
threaten to so to New York. All seem
somehow to forget that making money
is matter of industry and saving, sell
dom of location"

A Phalanx.

A phalanx in the military affairs Of
Greece was a square battalion or body
OF soldiers formed in ranks and files
compact and deep with their shields
Joined and pixies crossing each other SO
as to render it almost impossible to
break it. AT first the phalanx consisted
of 1000 men, but this number was after
ward doubled by Philip of Macedon,
and the double phalanx is hence often
called the Macedonian phalanx. Poly
bus describes it thus:
at was square of pikemen, consist
ing of sixteen in flank and 500 in front.
The soldiers stood SO close together that
the pixies of the fifth rank extended
three feet beyond the front. The rest,
whose pixies were not serviceable owing
to their distance from the front, couched
them upon the shoulders of those who
stood before them, and SO locking them
together in file pressed forward to sup
port and push on the former rank, by
which means the assault was rendered
more violent and irresistible" The
spears of those behind also stopped the
missiles of the enemy. Each mans pike
was twenty-three feet long. The word
phalanx is also used for any combina-
ton of people distinguished for solidity
and firmness. A grand phalanx consist
ed of 1884 men.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Dogs That Bathe Regularly,

1t is only the petted and pampered Ca
mines who have such dread of the surf.
The democratic ours of the town and the
sensible old house dogs who have lived
here long enough to feel thoroughly at
home and who feel equal to the task of
looking out for themselves under any
and all circumstances are Of an en-.
tirely different frame of mind, so far as
that is concerned. Plenty Of them go in
for their daily swim as regularly and as
unconcernedly as the most enthusiastic
and inveterate bathers the town con
tains, and plenty more wait only for the
barest invitation to go plunging in after
stick or ball, to bring it out on the
strand, triumphant at the victory over
the watery element - Philadelphia

Odd Stamps with High Values.

Many stamps attain fictitious value
on account of some accident in their
printing or publication. The story is
told that on one occasion number of
stamps We're sent into Wales without the
customary perforation. They were of
the penny brick variety, common enough
in all conscience, but it is said because the
$40 of them which composed the priced
pounds worth were the only specimens
ever sent out in such a manner they are
now worth two pounds each, and the
same queer enthusiasm exists in France,
where the stamps used in connection
with the balloon post of the great war
OF 1870 are considered worth their weight
in gold.-Million.

One of the delicate delights Of the
street band is its propensity to scent out
household musicales. In nothing, ap-
parently, do these wandering musicians
so much delight as to spring into blat-
ant strains before the house from which
issues the voice of song or the modest
music of the pianoforte. They carry
the day or rather the night every time;
for while they can play through and
over and above anything, it would take
a self possessed and steady nerved house
hold performer to hold his own or her
own against such rivalry. And then
they ring the bell and extend the haiti

CONFINEMENT IN NATURE
Iwould not change my joys for those

Iwould not change my joys for those
or emperors and kings.
What has my gentle friend, the rose,
Told them, II aught, do you suppose
The rose that tells me things?
What secrets have they had with trees2
What romps with grassy spears?
What know they of the mysteries
OF butterflies and honey bees,
Who whisper In my earsS
What says the sunbeam unto them2
What tales have brooklets told9
Is there within their diadem
A single rival to the gem
The dewy daisies hold2
What sympathy have they with birds,
Whose songs are songs of miner
Do they e'er hear, as though In words
Twas lisped, the message of the herds
OF grazing, lowing kline?
All, no! Give me no lofty Throne,
But just what Nature yields.
Let me but wander on, alone
II need be, so that all my own
Are woods and dales and fields.
