An Industrious LAWYER.

The ingenuity OF lawyers in making
business for themselves is in course
OF illutration in a reference case
now in progress downtown. An es-
tate is involved in the litigation. An
unsuccessful contest of a will left
some Of the litigants dissatisfied.
This furnished the lawyer his chance
He found that about 125 persons
might be entitled to dip into the
estate ii the will could be broken.
He addressed note to each Of them,
proposing to attack the will, and
rendering his services on contin-
gent arrangement. In this note he
informed them that proceedings
would be begun, and that he would
make defendants of all who did not
join his movement. With the appar-
ent necessity forced upon them of
accepting his services without charge
or hiring various lawyers to protect
their interests, they fiocked to him.
When proceedings were started, he
issued circulars OF information to Ills
clients, and kept them posted On
every move. This involved some
trouble and expense, in which the
clients were asked to assist. In this
way, while receiving nothing that
could be called fee from anyone,
the small contributions of his 125
clients are said to have helped the
lawyers bank account an average Of
5000 per month. AS he is very In
dustrious and does his work earn
estly, his clients are glad to help him
out, and. while he seems to be basing
his chances Of reward solely on the
success of his suit, he is making quite
a comfortable income. New York

Conflict of Brains.

A novel method of knocking out an
enemy's brains is described by a gen.
tleman who was camping some years
ago in the Transvaal. Everything
had been made snug for the night,
and before turning in he was sitting
with some of his companions about
the fire. Soon an alteration sprang
up between two of his attendants, a
Mashoana and Makololo, who were
standing not far off. The object of
discussion was piece of meat they
were broiling.
One word led to another. writes
the traveller, till both men became
extremely angry, and although | did
not understand, they were doubtless
using the choicest billingsgate that
they could command. At length
both rushed to the wagon. My serv-
ant whispered in my ear, "Assegai.
boss" so | sprang up to prevent them
from obtaining these weapons, of
which an abundant supply was fast
ened on the outside.
Frustrated in their attempt to arm
themselves, they rushed upon each
other. i would have interfered but
that my cOuntryman quietly said,
"Let them fight it out, or you will
have no peace" let them do so.
Immediately they clasped each
other and commenced butting their
heads together like a pair of sheep.
The blows were terrific, and sounded
almost as loud as a well-executed
clap of the hands There was no al.
tempt at boxing, only buttinl, and so
effectually was it performed that
blood began to flow from both of the
antagonists noses. After a lapse OF
five minutes, employed in this kind
of exciting work. both sat down to
recover breath in order to renew the
encounter. &tt
Then | interfered, and about half
an hour later | saw the combatants
sitting at the same fire and chatting
to each other most cordially. as If
the recent fight had no place even in
their memories.

The Artfulness of the Ant.

Like many other insects, the ant is
very fond Of sugar, to obtain which
it employs a skill that is almost in
credible. An observer thought he had
protected his sugar basin from the
attentions Of number of ants by
placing it in the center of a vessel
full of water. To his amazement,
however, he found that they got at
the sugar by Ginning up the wall of
the room to the part OF the ceiling
that was just over the ceiling. From
this point they allowed themselves to
fall down among the sugar. Several
that were carried by the draught
past the bowl fell into the surround
ing water, and would all have been
drowned but for the efforts Of their
mates, who succeeded In rescuing
some Of them. The truth Of this
singular occurrence is vouched for by
the witnesses of it

Scientific Modes of Execution.

Lying weights to boys legs in
hanging him, so that the drop will
break his neck, is something that
New Jersey Sheriff has just thought
of, said L. F. Dunn, of Philadelphia,
to st. Louis Globe Democrat re-
porter HE is to hang a youthful
murderer who only weighs 92 pounds,
and he says he will have to fasten ten
pounds to each of the young fellows
legs to furnish weight enough to dis
locate his vertebr4. This sounds
pretty inhuman, doesn't it! But |
once saw heavy executoner in Tur-
key slide down the rope and fall on
the suspended mans neckwith all his
avoirdupois to break the spinal col
umn. OF course, it was barbarous
proceeding. The most careful and
conscientious executioner | ever saw

Turkey and Russia. | was riding
through some woods when | suddenly
found myself in clearing before

a thread around sleeps neck. I
asked him why he was doing that.
He picked up cleayer, and. with q
quick blow, cut off the sleeps head,
making the cut exactly along the line
of the red thread. You see now,'
he said, why did it. | tied that
thread between two joints so that

saw him do it. He had a sword with
a curved blade. The blade and hilt
were hollow, and there was quick
silver in the space, so that when the
weapon was held aloft the quicksilver
ran down into the hilt and steadied
the hand, but when the sword was
swung down the quicksilver ran to
the end of the blade and gave added
weight and impetus to the blow. The
doomed man knelt and bent his head
forward. The executioner tied a rec
thread carefully around the barred
neck, and with one swing of the
weapon cut off the head. 1t was
clean, scientific cut between the yer.
tebra, and the unfortunate man, I
presume, never felt it,"

abandon his civil pursuits and enlist
In the First Minnesota Regiment.
His services during the war culmin-
ated at Gettysburg, where his regi-
ment made the famous charge that
checked Pckett's onslaught. OF the
300 men who made that charge only
forty came out whole, and young
Lochren. who started on the rush as
first lieutenant of Company E, came
out in command of the regiment,
every officer above his grade having
been killed or wounded. When the
war was over William Lochren re-
turned to Minnesota and resumed the.
practice of law. In 1882 he was ap-
pointed by Republican Governor to
a judgeship on the Circuit bench.
and at the expiration of his term was
twice reelected to the same place
without opposition.

thousands Killed Yearly.


Eight hundred thousand men find
employment on the various railroad
lines which traverse the United
States, and of these fully one-fourth
are stationed in the yards as switch
men. OF all the men who have any
thing to do with railroading there
are none of whom the public know
80 little as switchmen. Did you ever
notice the one-armed, one-legged man
waving his red flag at the crossing?
He is known as fiagman, but he
was switchman once, and there are
many hundreds of others just like
him.
Did you ever see a one-armed man
struggling with the patent lock of a
switch, his empty sleeve fiuttering in
the wind? He is only tending switches
now, but he once belonged to switch
crew, rode on an engine, and helped
to make up the long trains which
carried passengers and freight out Of
Chicago, says the Inter Ocean. 1t Is
q dangerous calling-this occupation
OF switchman, with meager chance of
promotion and little recognition by
the public, but it is a necessary and
important one. They are as much
part of the road as the conductor,
who takes charge of the train when
1t is made up, or the engineer who
pulls it, for without them trains
would stop, roads would become

There are various and sundry
whims about cooking, but none of
them are more absurd than the idea
that beans must be parboiled. One
would hardly think of turning off the
water from meat while it is cooking,
but it might Just as well be done, as
in either case it takes away great
portion Of the nutriment and flavor
of the dish.
Beans should be carefully looked
over, thoroughly washed and put to
soak over night in about their bulk
of water. Put them in the kettle
soon after breakfast the next morn
ing, add about as much water as at
first, place them where they will not
burn, and let them cook slowly and
without stirring until about IL
o'clock. Then add half a pound OF
salt pork thoroughly washed and cut
across the rind in small dice. Place
the pork on top of the beans and let
it boil for an hour or more. Then
lift the meat out, turn the beans
and liquor into a baking pan, press
the pork down until only the rind is
out OF the water and bake in slow
oven for several hours.
Many persons complain that beans
are indigestible and cause dyspepsia.
1t Is said by eminent authorities that
If beans are cooked for six or eight
hours no complaint Of this sort can
be made against them. New York
