A Profitable Drunk.

Some years ago man living not
many hundred miles from Medina was
SO foolish as to get drunk, says the
Niagara Falls Gazette. He was not adj
dicted to the use of liquor, and he was
surprised himself that he got so full.
He was more surprised, however, when
he sobered up, to find in an inside
pocket deed to some Chicago land. II
was made out in his name and was quite
perfect in its makeup. How it came to
be in his pocket or where it came from
he could not explain. He had not been
talking real estate to anyone while
sober, and knew of no one who had
been with him.
The fact that he had been relieved Of
some money told him that some one
had entertained the idea that an even
exchange was no robbery. 1T was clear
that the parties who had taken his cash
had given him the deed. The manner
in which he had gotten it told him that
it was not priced over highly by the
former owners. Like a sensible man
ashamed of the occurrence, he said
nothing about the loss or find. He
quietly paid the taxes on the property
which were not heavy, and never went
to look at the land.
The best of it all happened the other
day, when he received an offer of 500
600 for the property. The boom the
Garden City is enjoying through the
location of the Worlds Fair had increas.
ed the value of the property to this eX
tent. The offer was refused, and now
the man is more deeply interested than
ever in the land

Learn TO Tie a Knot.

A veteran sailor the other day, in the
presence of a Philadelphia Press man,
made the remark: elf those people
whose business requires them TO handle
ropes and tacklings would only learn
the true art of tying knots many a
serious accident in life might be avert
ed. There is not single child in the
land but should be taught in early life
to make at least couple Of scientific
bitches. This is one of the first duties
of sailor, and his selection of
knots covers the whole field of en-
tanglement. The novice is hardly on
shipboard and out the sight of land
when he is called up to tie together at
the end of a rope his soiled shirt and
clothes that need a good securing, and
is directed to heave them over the
ships side into the briny element for a
good dousing. If the knot is not prop
erly tied he loses them. It may seem q
trifing thing, but 1t is just as important
to know how to tie correct knot as to
be good swimmer"

spected.

Give jury of six or twelve rest full
men a comfortable, well-iighted and
cool room, plenty Of tobacco and ice
water, and there is nothing by which
the Judge or the council on either side
can gauge the time of elaboration.
Under such circumstances juries have
been known to remain out twelve hours
on case involving $1.49, and then
come in with a disagreement. There is
such thing, however, says the Newark
Sunday Call, as forcing a speedy YER
dict by making the retiring room un-
comfortable. Freezing the jury is said
to have been practlced with success in
Minnesota, where the counsel for the
defense ''saw'' the janitor, and it is just
possible that windows have been nailed
down to stew jury into hasty action in
warmer climates.
No such precaution is necessary in
the new quarters of the district courts
in this city. The jury room is a narrow
apartment situated directly over the
boiler room, with one window opening,
upon narrow and breathless alley,
fanked by the dead wall of the next
building. It has not been insinuated
that any lawyer has encouraged the
engineer to put on extra steam when a
jury was celebrating, but it is said that
since the nrsI OF the present mOntn no
jury has taken more than five or ten
minutes to try the fat out of any case
which has required discussion in this
room. It Is used by both courts, and is
the only apartment accessible. Of
course the doors must be shut when q
jury is celebrating, and then the win
dow does not admit the smallest of the
zephyrs which may by accident have
found playground in the alleyway.
1t is said that one lawyer has an
nounced lis attention of appealing
case, because the jury found verdict
four minutes after the doors were
closed. One of the jurors says, how
ever, that there was a heated discus
sion over the case during the short
time the Jury was out

An American Achievement.

Chicago is synonym for enterprise, en-
0eavor and success, but most people associ-
ate her fame with success in the material
and staple lines rather than the artistic
hence it will surprise many to learn that
in the manufacture and sale Of musical in
struments Chicago possesses the largest
house not only in America but in the en-
tire world. Lyon & Healy, whose factories
are located near Union Park, produce an
nually more musical instruments than any
other factory in existence. The yearly
output now exceeds 100, 900 instruments Of
ali kinds, and the large buildings which a.
few years ago amply sufficed for their pur-
poses are now taxed to the utmost to ac-
commodate their working army of three
hundred skilled mechanics The business
done by them In brass band supplies alone
is enormous, and covers the entire United
States, from Bangor to Tia Juana, and
Their success has been wons by years Of
earnest work, com bined with careful atten-
ton to the needs of the musical public, and
as a result the American made guitar.
banjo, mandolin, or any other instrument
is preferred by the best judges to the finest
work Of foreign manufacture.
1t is a real pleasure to an American
journalist to record such an achievement,
because while we are justly proud of our
great stock yards, our colossal elevators
and our immense shipping interests, it is
something more to know that our people
have not neglected the more elevated fields,
but stand as prominently forward in them
as in the Others. The largest and most
varied stock of musical instruments carried
by any firm in the world can be seen at
Lyon Healy's warerooms, So Monroe
street. Chicago, catalogues of which can be
had free upon application.

We are now in midsummer, and

large quantities of ice water, and
they suddenly check the perspira ton.
