The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1893-12-12

In Russia, where the cold is very in
tense, the markets are very curious
things. The meat is frozen; the carcases
of dead animals, as sheep and pigs, stand
upright outside the stalls; everything,
even game and poultry, requires to be
thawed before it can be cooked, and the
market peoples dress is as picturesque
as it is warm and comfortable.
Then the rivers are frozen over all the
winter long, and so thick is the ice that
every one can skate, anywhere and any
time. Stalls are put up on the ice and
busy markets held there
In the Asiatic part of Russia the PEG
Pile live chiefly by hunting and fishing,
and the fur Of the Russian animals is
very beautiful-the ermine, fox, sable,
sea otter and others.
At the end of the winter, when the
snow melts, the huntsman pursues the
elk, wearing long shoes, in which he
can glide over the snow very quickly
while the poor elk sinks into the snow
deeper and deeper every step and is at
last overtaken and killed. Good Words.

CHALLENGED JUDGE AND JURY.

Extraordinary Tactics of Pennsylvania
Lawyer to Enliven Trial.
81 don't believe in trying case in a
dull, routine manner, SO that it be-
comes a question whether the attorneys
or the jurors will go to sleep first, .
said 8. S. Boyer of Sunbury, author Of
"Boyer's Criminal Digest, = to re-
porter. Mr.. Boyer was defending
George Kuhn in the United States
courts against the charge of imperson-
ating United States officer. The case
proved to be one of the most amusing
that has ever been called. 1t was full
of funny incidents from the beginning
to the end
Attorney Boyer is a Pennsylvania
Dutchman and has enough of that &C
cent to make his conversation very at
tractive. The first day of the trial a
witness was called who, owing to some
chronic affection Of the throat, was not
able to speak in an ordinary tone, but
had either to speak in whisper or
shout his words. Attorney Boyer didn't
know this, so when the witness began
to shout his answers Boyer thought he
was doing it to be disrespectful. He
became angry and shouted his questions
in not very polite manner
In his speech to the jury Boyer said
some very bitter things about the wit
ness, among which was, You saw how
much of rowdy he was by his actions
ON the stand He was quite taken
aback when United States District At
torney Hall arose and explained the wit
ness affection In addressing the jury
Attorney Boyer apologized for not being
able to present his case in an eloquent
manner for his soldier client, for,
he said, "as my client left part of his
body on the battlefield, SO ! left part of
my voice at the breakfast table. He
had met with an accident to his teeth.
Attorney Boyer then went ON to say:
SIN the great book of books 1t says
that it is better to leave so guilty per
sons 60 unpublished than to punish one
innocent man. Attorney Hall in
closing answered this in neat man
ner by saying: when the attorney for
the defense quoted about 80 guilty per-
sons from the book of books, / at once
presumed he meant the Bible. l can.
now see my mistake, as that sentiment
is not expressed there, for by his book
of books he must have meant Boyer's
Criminal Digest. - This created
great laugh in the court.
As Attorney Boyer closed his speech
he did most uncommon thing. He
turned to the jury and said: If there
is any point you don't understand about
this case you'd like me to explain, just
ask me the question. I'll have to make
the same restriction to you as did to
the supreme court however. | told the
Judges they were at liberty to ask me
questions concerning the case ! had

cannlhalIsrn In saghallen.

The Vladivostock, a newspaper pub
lished in eastern Siberia, reveals a terri.
BILE state of affairs among the convicts on
the island of Saghalien. 1t would APP
pear that the convicts there have been
treated by some of the subordinate prison
authorities so harshly that the governor
of the island has been obliged to inter
fere for their protection.
A warder named Khanoff and some
of his assistants, who at one time were
convicts themselves and had been raised
to the rank Of jailers, have been removed
from their posts Khanoff's treatment
Of the prisoners was so abominable that
number of them crippled themselves,
cutting off fingers and toes, in order to
be treated as invalids and to be freed
from his terrible cruelties. Others fled
to the impenetrable forest, where they
suffered all the horrors of hunger.
In satchel belonging to fugitive
convict who had been hunted down
were found some pieces of human flesh.
Investigation revealed that this man had
been one of a party of four, and that
only one of them now remained. The
others had been killed and devoured by
their comrades. Similar cases Of canni-
balism are, according to the Siberian
journal. not infrequent.

Booth as Billposter.

One story of Booths trip to the Sand
witch Islands remains with me. He had
gone there in 1854 in company with his
comrade, Mr.. David G. Anderson, en-
route to Australia, and they were to play
in the Royal Hawaiian theater. They
had hired native to paste up the bills
announcing the performance. This had
to be done with preparation named
"poe-poe," made from vegetable called
''tara-tara," which is favorite food in
Honolulu, but the poor man was so hun
CRY that yielding to temptation he incon-
tinently ate up the paste, and to their
surprise no bills appeared. When the
reason was ascertained, they feared to
trust another native, and it was there
fore agreed that as Booth was the young
err he should act as billposter, and it came
to pass that every night after the per-
Torrance Edwin went about the city
with his play bills and bucket of paste
and put up with his own hands the post
ers announcing what the company would
play on the following night. And he as
sured me that he did this honestly and
did not eat any of the pastel-William
Bispham in Century.

RAILROAD SCRAP IRON.
1t Is Carefully Saved, Assorted and The
Sold NV the mpanies

1t Is Carefully Saved, Assorted and Then
Sold by the Companies.
Nothing goes to waste on big rail
road, and every scrap of iron and much
secondhand material is valued at fixed
price and carried on the books as so much
stock on hand. The system followed by
the storekeeper's department of one rail
road is sample of many. The second
hand metals are gathered and placed in
piles, regularly assorted.
Then they are classified by the fore
man and taken into stock by the store
keeper or assistant. There are regular
schedules-one of material which can be
used again, which is denominated sec
ondhand, and another of material which
has to be melted before it can be used
which is known as scrap.
The classes are arranged something
after the following order: Steel scrap,
Nos. /, 2, 8, 4, 8 and 6, at prices ranging
from 1923 ton down; wrought iron,
Nos. 1, 2, and 4; cast iron, Nos. l, 2, I
and 4. Even behring's are taken into &C
count, brass borings being credited al
eight cents per pounu anu BRASS SCRAP
and copper at twelve.
This material is shipped to division
headquarters when a carload has accu-
INFLATED. Here it is disposed of by the
storekeeper on order of his chief, being
shipped in carloads to big dealers in. old
metals In large cities. Much of it goes tc
Pittsburg, Cincinnati and such points
Orders for as high as 100000 pounds Of
one kind of material are occasionally re-
ceived from single firms. Most of the
secondhand material is used over again
in the shops, but it is previously taken
on the books at fixed price by the store,
keeper and is charged up to the account
of the articles for which it is used. AL
disable No. 1 wrought iron is received
and charged up at 1t cents pound, and
cast iron at one cent.-Philadelphia Call

The effect of dog on cats tail is
we'll worth study. When a cat encoun-
ters strange dog, the tail Immediately
assumes an upright position, the back
becomes highly arched, and the fur
stands out straight all over the body.
This sudden change disnays the dog,
who brings himself to halt, and the
two regard each other steadfastly.
But if the dog should turn his gaze
away for a fraction of a second there is
a swish and bound, and the cat has
disappeared over fence or up a tree.
Stimulated by the presence of a dog,
cats have been known to climb to such
heights that they were unable to de-
scend the way they went up.-Ex

the island, but an overplenty of old and
wrinkled danes. 1t is said the young
women leave home as soon as they are of
manageable age and seek husbands in
Caracas, Venezuela, or some other South
American city. Yet there are some of
the prettiest girls there a traveller ever
set eyes upon. They are the daughters
of Dutch fathers and Spanish mothers,
and the mingling Of the two bloods has
produced beautiful race, which is grow
ing quite numerous there.
Three-quarters Of the population is Of
African descent, or mixed African, Span
ish, Dutch and Indian. A few Indians,
said to be descendants of the Caribs, are
/ still to be found on the island living in
huts of straw.
Their sole business in these days seems
to be the peddling of lottery tickets. Ev-
erybody invests in the lottery there, and
as there are drawings each day the ped
ding of tickets forms quite paying
business.
Some of the Africans there are mag
nihcently formed, especially those en-
ployed along the lagoon in loading and
unloading steamers and ships. They are
at home In the water and will dive I'M
der steamer for ''real' or 10 cent
piece.
OF late years they are forced to wear
suits while sporting in the lagoon near
the settlements, but as the lagoon ex-
tends in the center Of the island several
miles each way they may be seen every
evening making their way in punts to a
point beyond observation where they
can enjoy themselves untrammeled by
clothing.
The Maca pruen, or monkey plum, is
the favorite fruit, and the parrot is the
favorite bird. For 81 young parrot
that can talk in Spanish may be pur-
chased, and mocking bird can be had
for so cents.
None of the liquor which obtains its
name from the island is made there now.
The Dutch have taken hold of the manu-
facture of the liquor and have trans
ferred the business to Holland. New

What Is an Accident?

To the nonlegal mind the term "acci-
dent" would appear to be easily defined,
but the late Lord Chief Justice Cockburn
thought not, and on several occasions in
surance companies have sought defni-
ton in the courts of law. 1t has been
decided that sunstroke is not an acct
dent, but that injury to the spine through
lifting heavy weight is one. Even If
physical ailments contribute to an acct
dent, it is covered by the policy.
The relatives of a man who, while
bathing in shallow water, was seized
with fit and suffocated, sustained their
claim, as did those of a man who, when
similarly seized, fell under train and
was killed. Again, a person having fall
en- and dislocated his shoulder was put
to bed and carefully nursed, but in less
than a month he died of pneumonia.
The connection between that complaint
and dislocated shoulder is not at once
visible, but on the ground that the rest
1essness and susceptibility to cold pro-
duced by the accident led to the disease
which killed him, the relatives were
held to be entitled to the claim.
1.-The influence of intoxicating liquor, !"
has been authoritatively defined as sin
fiuence which disturbs the balance of a
mans mind or the intelligent exercise of
his faculties, and injuries received while
in that condition are not covered by an
accident policy. Nor are those caused
by running obvious risk, as crossing a
railway, even at proper place, without
exercising due care to avoid passing
trains. Chambers Journal. X

If the woman who visits Rome wishes
to follow tradition and do as the Ro-
mans do, " she will be careful never to

Italians are very particular about the
etiquette of kissing the hand. A man
kisses the right hand of his mother, aunt
or elderly friend and the left hand of
his sweetheart. 1t is not permitted him
to kiss the palm of the hand except in
great and affectionate intimacy. 1t is
regarded as a token that he is very
much in love- Upon arriving at a
formal dinner gentleman takes the
hand Of his hostess and bends low over
it as if about to kiss it, but does not
do SO. After dinner etiquette demands
that he take her hand again and kiss it.

Dependent Upon Rain FOR the water sup
ply-some odd Customs.
Curacoa is one of the queerest little is
lands of the Caribbean sea. 1t lies 60
miles north of Venezuela, is about go
miles long and u or IA wide, and it has
population of more than $4,000.
There is no means of procuring fresh
water on the island except by saving
rainwater in reservoirs. A number of
wells have been bored under the super
vision Of the Dutch government, to which
it belongs, but each ended in failure.
A curious statement regarding these
borings is made by the inhabitants of
the island. They say that in each and
every case after a certain depth was
reached the tools dropped out Of sight,
indicating that there is no solid founda-
ton TO the island. The behring's were
made in low places and through hills,
and in about 80 different places, each
with the same ultimate result. A few
wells have been dug to a lesser depth
and brackish, unpleasant tasting water
is obtained from them, fit only for man
ufacturing purposes.
The approach of the rainy season is
always an interesting time there. The
water in the reservoir is low at this
time. and the natives eagerly await the
opportunity to gather a fresh supply.
| Clothing is never washed there In fresh
water, but at all hours of the day the
beach is alive with women beating the
clothes with clubs on the rocks.
The houses are all built in the Dutch
style, and are mostly of stone, with tile
roofs. The streets are very narrow, in
some places so narrow that it is possible
to shake hands with the occupant of a
room across the street simply by leaning
out of the window.

The straight line is an abomination
to the Chinese. They endeavor to
avoid it In their streets and buildings
and have banished it completely where
country field paths are concerned.
They will always substitute a curve
whenever possible, or they will torture
it into a zigzag.
In districts not devastated by the Tai
Pings nor subject to the influence of
the foreigner, the houses and temples
are characterized by curved, often
peaked, roofs, ornamented with fantas-
tic notifications of the myriad stroke
pattern. ? The inhabitants of such re-
gions are soon found to have mental
world to correspond. The straight line
is secuted. They think in curves and
zigzags. To the Chinese mind the
straight line is suggestive Of death and
demons. 1t belongs not to the heaven
above nor to the earth beneath. In a
true horizon line are seen the "undula-
tions of the dragon. Therefore, argue
the Chinese, the straight line pertains
to hades. Contemporary Review.

1 asked very famous physician the
other day if it was injurious to chew
gum-not that do it-and he answered
eyes and no."
"And how?" l inquired.
"To chew gum for five or ten minutes
after a meal is absolutely beneficial,
said he, especially for hasty eaters, who
do not half masticate their food, because
the action of the jaws causes the gastric
juices to flow, and that is good. But Sc
few people can use and not abuse it. They
get the gum in their mouths and keep at
