FROM the Boston Post
young lawyer of Boston was asked the other
day why in the English courts q woman must
remove her hat. He could not answer the ques-
ton. But an old lawyer. to whom the matter
was referred, recalled the opinion Of Sir Ed
ward Coke on the matter. 1t was at a murder
trial where the prisoner was q woman and ap-
peared before the court with her head covered.
Sir Edward Coke ordered the woman to remove
her hat aud said: "A woman may be covered in
church, but not when arraigned in q court of JUS
tice." The accused tartly replied: 1T seems sim
gular that may wear my hat in the presence
Of God, but not in the presence Of man" ''It
isn't strange at all, replied the judge, '.for
the reason that man, with his weak intellect,
cannot discover the secrets which are known
to God, and, therefore, in investigating truth,
where human life is in peril and one is charged
with taking life, the court should see all OBJ
stacles removed. Besders, the countenancs
is often the index to the mind, and accordingly
it is hitting that the hat should be removed and
herewith the shadow that it casts upon your
face" The hat OF the prisoner was taken OF,
but she was allowed, for modestys sake, 70
cover her hair with kerchief.

Of all. II Is composed Of the really poor peo-
pie, to whom S12 week would be fair
pay. Just as it is said that the street car
n the poor mans carriage 90 is il true that the
city park is the poor mans country seat. He
need not go away to get pure air, and he need
not own foot Of land to get the free use Of
acres Of rural scenery. His children can play
there, his sons and daughters can make love
there, his old father or mother can sit there and
contemplate and he and his wife can go there
whenever they choose.
Not least among the virtues Of this good town
il the fact that 1t has more acres of park than
any other. 1t was famous English nobleman
who described Washington as ia park with
houses in it" and he paid the city the highest
compliment when he said it. Nor can the city
ever have too many parks. They do good to
every one and harm to none

There is one golden rule that must bs

would not have him do unto You. There arr

and fewer still who can apply them cleverly,
and the two uncomfortable young men boring

A PROMISING SITUATION.
New York Daily Investtr.tor.


Good judges say that one of the next
localities to achieve distinction by
Jumping from substantial town to a
thriving metropolis in a few years will
DC the city of Superior, Wisconsin, and
this, too, without the effort and strug-
gle through which interior towns have
passed while effecting the same result.
Until year or two ago the average
man did not stop to think that Supe-
rior as a monopolist of the water and
rail termini at one end of the lakes is
IN the same position as Buffalo is at
the other end. Figures are uninter-
esting unless given briefly, but COM
parsons are always important. This
little Superior, credited by its last CEN
sus with only e2,O0o people, handled
more coal last year than did Chicago;
Of grain, it shipped nineteen million
bushels, of -four, sixteen hundred
thousand barrels, of wool. four million
pounds, of merchandise, to the value of
thirteen million dollars. Of all lake
cities this business was second only to
Chicago in magnitude. There is an
economical reason for this condition of
things. 1t is that the rail rate on
freight sent west of Lake Michigan is
one cent per ton per mile, while the
water rate is one-tenth of one cent
per ton per mile. This position at the
extreme western end Of Lake Superior
S what gives the city of Superior its
prestige, and is making it grow faster
than Chicago ever did. Besides one
hundred and one smaller industrial
concerns, Superior has located twenty
eight large manufacturing enterprises
n the past eighteen months, including
The American Steel Barge Company,
The builders of the famous whale
back" vessel, which is revolutionizing
the lake and ocean freight-carrying
trade. The twenty-eight institutions
above mentioned include iron and
steel plants, -four mills, stove factories,
wagon factories, pump makers, ship
builders and saw and shingle mills.
The most conservative business men in
the Northwest believe that Superior
will grow faster in the next ten years
than any other city in that prosperous
section of the country, and many OF
them claim that Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Milwaukee have never
seen the rapid growth that will come
to the head of the great chain of lakes
and the city of Superior.
