He Denies That He Maltreated Ehfe
Posey-The Wife's Statement.
Justice Henry was engaged all day
yesterday in listening to more testimony
in the case of DIR" Graham and his wife,
who are alleged to have abducted Efie
Posey.
Assistant District Attorney Jones con-
Quoted the case for the prosecution on ac-
count of District Attorney Ryan being
engaged in the Superior Court.
Graham was the first witness called and
was on the stand for several hours. His at
torney asked him questions to show that be
is graduate ofthe Rush Medical College.
Graham denied all the statements made
by little Effie Posey that he had Grim
inally maltreated her and acted very
cruelty at all times. He endeayored to
show that Effie was willfully a very bad
girl. He claimed that the child was
given by her father to Mrs. Graham.
Mrs. Graham was put on the stand.
General Hart endeavored to have the
witness testify that she was approached
by certain officers and offered her free
dom if she would testify to criminate her
husband. This line OF questioning was
objected to by the prosecution, as it was
inmaterial and foreign to the case. JUS
tice Henry sustained the objection.
Mrs. Graham testified that Posey, father
of Ellie, gave her 10 him, and at the time
he did so she says he offered to sign
papers relinquishing all claims to the
girl. She had no knowledge of any I'M
due relations of her husband with Ellie,
and her testimony throughout was about
the same as her husband.
J. L. Ruggles, formerly of the Stockton
Republican, testified that he saw an ad-
vertisemept published to the effect that
Graham was going to Oregon and would
made no concealment of his departure.
H. C. Keyes. real estate agent OF
Stockton, also said that Graham made no
concealment of his leaving Stockton, and
that he made arrangements with him to
pay taxes during Graham's absence.
The case was continued until 10 o'clock
this morning.

Pigs Feet and Terrnnin.

A observing business man, who has
had occasion TO patronize at one time or
another nearly every restaurant in the
purely commercial section of the city,
has discovered an odd relationship be-
tween two articles of diet which rarely
if ever occur singly upon bill of fare.
You can be reasonably sure" he said
the other day, 'that when you see liver
and bacon set down among the edibles
you will not have TO look far to discover
that you can also obtain chicken liver
omelet. Perhaps this will explain" he
added cynieally, why it is that SO often
the liver of the first dish appears in small
triangular pieces in the omelets."
The gentleman might have transferred
his observances also to certain up town
restaurants which cater to the "swell"
members of society. It's dollars to dough
nuts that in at least one-half of those
which boast of their fine cooking, when
ever terrapin la Maryland or Philadel-
phia or any other style is to be had, it
will require but little urging to obtain
fried pigs feet
Pigs feet and diamond back terrapin
do not closely resemble one another in
their natural state, but what difference
when they are stewed, either separately
or together, with Madeira wine and vari-
GUS concolnitants! An epicure only can
detect the subterfuge by the slightly
larger bones of the pigs trotters.-New
York Herald.

What is there about book agent or
q peddler of any kind that is so distaste-
full to the ordinary citizen Of todayg'
said Martin Cole. "The efforts of these
people to make living is conscientious,
and am positive there is no work on
the face of the earth that is half so
wearisome or soul trying as this one
thing of canvassing books. There is no
satisfaction in it and not even good
living. Every one turns with disgust
from the book agent. Probably il Is
because people cannot brook anything
outside of the regular lines of trade.
They prefer to have things in their pro.
per places-books in book store, candy
in a candy store and the like throughout
the long list of earthly articles that
we use. Then they want the stores close
at hand, SO that they can rush out and
secure what they want, paying spot cash
for it.
"These are what people term the le-
gitimate lines of trade. and they are.
Then when a peddler arrives, the mer-
chant or the ordinary citizen Immediate
ly figures out that anything that must
be brought about to him to effect sale
must not be good. 1t is outside the le-
gitimate line, and if it were good it would
simply be placed upon the market
through the ordinary channels and left
for the public to conceive its merits. So,
then, figure ont that this dissatisfaction
with book agents and the like resolves it
self into the great law of order, which is
an innate desire in the heart of every
est. Louis Globe-Democrat.

ATrne Gnldnsh story.

AT the New York hospital they relate
"a curious occurrence bearing on the hi
bernation of fishes. In the conservatory
in the upper part of the building they
had several glass jars in which were
goldfish, which is IA species Of carp. One
morning the caretaker found jar broken
and the water frozen through and
through, the fish of course being as rigid
as ice. The lump was taken away and
thrown into an old rubbish barrel, where
1t remained several weeks.
One March day the sun was unusually
strong. and it split the cylinder Of ice,
but what was the astonishment of the
caretaker to see the tail of fish wrig-
Cling out of part of the broken block
The actual freezing had not killed the
fish, which was removed to another tank,
where it swims about as il nothing had
befallen it.-Our Animal Friends.

pemorallzlnr the Busy Bee.

AS the magpie is notorious for stealing
glittering objects, SO we find the parallel
among savages who have been known TO
help themselves ON shipboard to all the
movables, being fascinated by mirrors,
cutlery and jewelry. Sometimes bees,
in order to save trouble, attack in
crowds well furnished hives and carry
off the provisions; they gradually ac-
quire taste for this and form compa-
nies and colonies Of brigands. If bees
are given mixture of honey and brandy,
they can acquire taste for it and be-
come irritable under its influence, drink
and cease to work, and like men fall
from one vice into another.-Current

How Fast Doe. Thought rra,elg

Professor Donders of Utrecht has made
some interesting experiments i'm regard
to the rapidity of thought BY means
OF two instruments, which he calls the
''neomatachograph" and the 'noerna-
tachometer," he obtained some impor.
tant results. His experiments show that
it takes the brain .067 of second TO
elaborate single idea. Writing i'm re-
gard to this Professor Donders says:
Doubtless the time required for the
brain To act is not the same in all indi-
viduals. | believe, however, that my
instruments may be perfected until we
will be able 10 determine the mental
caliber of our friends without our friends
knowing that we are testing their apt
ness" The professor further says: For
the eye TO receive an impression requires
on of second, and for the ear to appre.
ciate sound .0+9 of second is neces-
sary. These curious experiments have
established one fact mt least--viz, that
the eye acts with nearly double the
rapidity of the ear. Philadelphia Press.
