speaking of complimentary tickets given

Speaking of complimentary tickets given
editors, we wish to say these tickets are not
complimentary. They are simply an ex-
change of courtesics. The tickets are given
with the understanding always that their val
ne is to be given In local or editorial notices
of the entertainment at regular advertising
rates, and so far as the newspapers are con-
cerned, there are no such things as ''com-
plimentary" tickets. 1t costs money to set
type, do press work, buy paper and pay Office
rent and postage, and for fuel and light, and
pays for it just the same as other people, the
only difference being that the editor pays
for his tickets in advertising instead of cash
to the proprietors of the show. and he pays
the cash to the printer and the pressman and
the paper maker. That's the only difference.

Why Horses Are High In Paris.

One of the most prosperous indus
tries in Paris is the sale and disposal
of horsefesh for food. There are in
the city of Paris $50 shops for the
sale of horsefesh, and in the course
of the year more than q, 900 horses,
81 mules and 275 donkeys have been
killed and eaten by the Parisians.
The most singular point about this
traffic is that the price of the flesh is
equal to that of good beef-20 cents
a pound. 1t is only fair, however, to
add that two-thirds of this meat has
been converted into sausages, so that
it is more than possible that the con-
sumers are ignorant of the source of
their toothsome dish. 1t is now easy
to understand how it is that good
horses are so scarce in the Paris
tiacres. At 20 cents a pound a fat
horse would be worth more when he
was dead than alive.-Chicago News
Record.

The Art of Needle Making.

The art Of needle making was kept
secret until about 1850, when it was
revealed by Christopher Greening.
In the little town of Redditch, few
miles from Birmingham, the needle
makers still ply their trade for all
the world. Twenty thousand peo-
pie make over 1OO,O0O,OO needles a
year. From the ugly pig, of iron to
the fairylike needle are manifold
processes, but probably the drilling
of the eye is the most interesting of
all. The experts can easily perforate
hair and thread it with it's own end.
The steel wire is cut into the length
of bristle, and the needles are born
as twins, heads together, feet farthest
apart.
In the old days the ends were sharp
'ened at a cost of life that made this
industry more deadly than war. The
grinders asthma" by which strong
mems lungs were inwardly ground
to pieces by inhaled particles of steel,
slew tens of thousands of strong men.
Now a blast of air away from the
grindstone makes grinders life a
first class risk for insurance COM
panies. Tempering, annealing and
polishing are all worth seeing in the
process. -Harper's Bazaar.

Der of species of most curious sea
animals are designated; they are also
known as sea rollers, sea cucumbers,
in French as cornichons de mer, and
scientifically as holothurians. They
are among the most sluggish of ami

animals are slower than the holo-
thurians. They lie like gray, brown

CONSCIENCE MAKES CowARDS.

An amusing story concerning an
incident which occurred long ago in
one OF the mountain counties of
North Georgia.
1t should be promised that the
State ofGeorgia has a very stringent
law torbidding its citizens to carry
pistols. Judge Lester was holding
court in little town, when sudden.
ly he suspended the trial of a case
by ordering the sheriff to lock the
doors of the courthouse, so that no
one could make his egress from it.
"Gentleman," said the Judge.
wheu the doors were closed, 81 have
just seen a pistol on man in this
room, and | cannot reconcile it to
my sense OF duty as a peace officer to

The Judge paused and an attor
ney oltting before him, got up, slip

PED his hand into his hip-pocket
drew out neat ivory.handled six
shooter, and laid It and dollar down
upon the stand.
This is all right" said the Judge :;

the pistol"
Upon this another attorney rose
and laid down a Colts revolver and
a dollar bill before the Judge, who
repeated his former observation.
The process went on, until nine
teen pistols of all kinds and sizes and
shapes lay upon the stand, together
with nineteen dollars by their sides
The Judge laughed as he compIi-
mented the nineteen delinouepts
upon being men of business, but
added that the man whom he had
seen with the pistol had not vet como

the court, he continued, 81 will give

Immediately two men from the
back OF the court rose and began to
move towards the judges stand.
Once they stopped to look at each
other;and then coming slowly for
ward, laid down their pistols and
their dollar. AS they turned their
backs the judge said, "This man

How Ships Were Rugged Out In the DAYS
of the Old Time Pirates.

! HOW Ships Were Rugged Out In the DAYS
i, of the Old Time Pirates.
AS a rule, the Spanish
merchantmen were formidable float
ing castles. They might carry $50 of
crew, with a company or two of
disciplined soldiers. They mounted
many guns of heavy metal. The
'musketeers'' were freely furnished
with those bell mouthed trabucCs
which belched out bullets bv the
quarter bushel and were excessively
disagreeable at close quarters, and
they were clothed in cuirasses of
buff, which would turn ball. The
poop and the forecastle were solid
forts, and the former was furnished
with semicircular galleries, from
which the defenders could fire with
commanding precision. There were
boarding MEETINGS to be triced to the
rigging, and even at the waist, where
the sides were the lowest, boarding
must have been like scrambling up
the side of house.
II we turn, on the other hand, to
the light buccaneering craft, it would
seem there was no sort of equality.
They were generally schooners or
brlgantines Of small burden, with tall
but tapering spars, carrying a ire
mendous weight of canvas. Their
guns were necessarily few, though
one or two were formidable. The
men at the most could not be numer-
Gus, although packed away above and
below like herrings in barrel.
Where they excelled was in sea-
manship and deXterous maneuvering.
In certain light winds they had it all
their own way If their luck was
good, the enemy's gunners would fire
wide OF the small and shifting mark.
Their very audacity often saved them
from disaster, for at the closest quar-
tiers it was impossible to depress the
guns so as to do them serious damage.
When they did board, there was no
need to give the watchword-dea
or victory. They were fighting not
only with ropes around their necks,
but with thumbscrews and hot grid
irons in the more remote prospective.
That accounts for the animation they
threw into the attack, but we confess
we are still mystified by the triumphs
that crowned their audacity, for even
the buccaneers never denied the
Spanish pluck, and the Spaniards
were likewise fighting for existence.

AN IMPORTANT HEARING TO-MOR.
ROW.

Recently the REcoRD-UNIoN has thrice
editorially called attention to the high
importance to the State and to intending
genuine settlers upon public lands, of the
proper administration of the lieu lands,
to which the State becomes entitled. The
subject has, we are pleased to note, been
thus brought into the new prominence it
deserves since it is being widely debated
throughout the State.
Tomorrow, Thursday, at l p NJ, at the
State Capitol, the eyor-General, Mr..
Reichert, who is also Register of the
Land Office, will hold an advisory court,
assisted by able counsel, to determine
certain important rules of practice affect
ing the right of applicants to amend
original applications for lieu, thereby
securing to the old applications a priority
of date, notwithstanding the old applica-
alleged loss was untrue, or because the
lands selected in lieu of the loss have
been disposed of by the Government
The issue is between the people friendly
to the settlement Of the State and specu-
lators in lands TO inure to the State
through the exercise of lieu right arising
from loss.
The practice, from considerable time
back in our land history, has grown UP
of using dummy applications, SO that
priority of application will prevent ac-
tual settlers from obtaining lands inuring
to the State as lieu for loss, as already in
Dictated, and so that the attorneys max
ing such selection can sell the lieu right
for from SO to So an acre.
1t will be readily understood, there
fore, how exceedingly interesting the
hearing of tomorrow will be and how
important will be its results. The i'm
portance of the matter, indeed, is as
broad as is the State and her landed IN
terests, and concerns an exceedingly
large number of her citizens.
The State is to become possessed of a
lieu right amounting to some 100000
acres. If these lands can be made avail
able to settlers at 81 25 an acre, a large
reinforcement of population may be ex-
pected. But if settlers must pay So an
acre 10 the attorneys who have pre-
empted by filing applications, which by
way of amendment may secure priority.
then the State receives but dollar and a
quarter an acre, while the manipulation
gets s. an acre out of the exercise of lieu
right.
In this connection it is a matter of his
tory that the bill granting lieu to the State
of California, and which was approved by
the President February IS, 1891. was in
troduced in the United States Senate by
Senator Leland Stanford, and by him its
passage was secured. 1t is a measure OF
such beneicence that it ought to be borne
in mind that the credit for the bill is due
| to California's senior Senator at Wash
lington.
