The Conductor Wins For Once.

Carried His Bike and Won His Case.

A curious case has been decided by
the Saxon court of appeals sitting in
Dresden. At Krossen there is a toll
bridge over the Nude, and only foot
passengers may cross free. A young
man who rode across on his bicycle was
charged the regular fee for 2-wheel
vehicle, but paid under protest. Hav-
ing occasion to return the same way, he
dismounted at the approach of the bridge
and walked across, carrying his machine
on his head. This time the toll gatherer
protested, but to no purpose.
Suit was brought against the bicyclist
in local court to compel him to pay
toll and costs, and verdict for the de-
fendant was rendered. An appeal was
taken to the supreme court, which re-
versed the decision of the lower court
and found for the plaintiff. Appeal was
again taken, this time to the court of
last resort, which decided that toll could
be collected only for vehicles which came
in actual contact with the bridge. Judg-
ment reversed; verdict for the bicyolist,

A Time Worn Bible.

When Mr.. Roddenbury Of Thomas
presented to the house of Representatives
the old time worn Bible that was used
in the days Of long ago at the old cap-
tol down in Milledgeville, Mr.. Turner
Of Putnam was sitting by the speaker
and picked up the book and began turn
ing its pages over and over.
Presently he looked up. smiling, and
turning to the speaker said: II do de-
clare, here is the handwriting of my
grandfather, who was clerk Of the house
In those days. would know it was his
handwriting If 1 saw it in Halifax. 1t
is his own" On the page in the front Of
the book was written. "The law for those
who make law" The Bible was used In
1885. It was printed in 1917 and is a
quaint old volume. It has many curious
inscriptions, some in Latin and some in
English.
1t was found at the old capitol by Cap
tain j. Cotton Lynes, who for long
time was the commandant Of the mill
tary department Of the Middle Georgia
Agricultural college, which now occupies
the old capitol building at Milledgevilie.
He is now at Thomasville college and
sent the book to Mr.. Roddenbury to be
presented to the house of representa-
tives. It was taken in charge by Speaker
Atkinson and will be kept sacredly by
the head of the house in days to come. -

Miss Penny Needs Help.

More than generation ago Virgins
Penny, dark eyed, comely young wom
an of education and social standing, pub
lished the first book ever designed to
help working women. At her own ex.
pense she Travelled through the most
thickly settled portions of the Union
gathering facts and figures about the
work of women outside the three occu.
pations then open to the sex generally
housework, sewing and teaching. The
information was written in admirable
literary style and published and repub.
lished in book form. First it was named
"Employments For Women" then II
was issued under the title Five Hun
dred Occupations For Women" and
and again it was called "How Women
Can Make Money" But it never profited
the author financially, though thousands
of volumes were sold. Miss Penny is
now 65 years old and destitute, and an
appeal in her behalf is made-especially
to that class which has profited so much
by her labors.-Detroit Free Press.

The following extract from Bos-
wells Life of johnson" may serve
to fix the date of the present custom
of walking on the right hand side of
the footway:
"In the last age" says johnson,
when my mother lived in London,
there were two sets of people-those
who gave the wall and those who
took 1.-THE peaceable and the quar-
relsome. When returned to Lich-
field, after having been in London,
my mother asked me whether / was
one of those who gave the wall or
took 1t. Now it Is fixed that every
man keeps to the right, or If one il
taking the wall another yields 1t,
and it is never dispute"
The period to which this is referred
Is 1887. I do not think that the GUS
tom Of walking on the right hand
side Is very strictly observed in pro
vincial towns. At all events, one no
tices that country cousins when In
London frequently persist in taking
the wronp side. Notes and Queries.

Five-year-old Nell was playing cars"
with some Of the chairs in the nursery,
when visitor came in, and unfortu-
nately selected one of the cars belonging
to the imaginary 'train," and drew it
out of the line.
Nell was disturbed. She surveyed the
friend Of the family for moment in 81
lence and then said;
"Did you know, Miss Reed, this is q
train of steam cars?"
'Ah, is it indeedY' inquired the OBJ
tuse visitor. Every well, should like
to take ride"
This reply seemed not to be wholly
satisfactory. The other chairs in the
room were comfortable for visitors, Nell
knew, but they didn't match her train. +"
Presently she stood beside the caller
again, with her little hands folded before
her.
"Miss Reed" she asked hesitatingly
"where did you want to get off"
"Oh, at New York." said the lady
with smile.
"Well," said Nell in her sweetest tone
''this is New York where I'm stopping
now"
And fortunately that delicate hint was
acted upon, much to Nell's satisfaction.

AN iNoulslTNs BROTHER.

Stay.
When the course Of true love does not
run smooth, it frequently happens that q
small brother of one Of the lovers is the
rock in the stream.
That was the case with Mr.. Spatts and
Miss Nissan. The young man was wait
ing for his adored one to descend to the
parlor when Tommy came in and OBJ
served curiously:

"Why, the two strings tied to you"
"What on earth do you mean, Tom

"Ain't you sisters beaur" demanded
Tommy, who thought the best way to
answer questions was by asking more.
"Whyp" replied Spatts, II suppose that
in colloquial terms might be alluded to
in that way"
"Then you must be the chap she
meant"
"Who meant2"

Eating Out Of Troughs.

All the men employed ON the Maniacs
estate in Sicily sleep on the property OF
week nights and tramp back to town fol
Sunday. Their food is provided for them
during the week. In the morning they
have each large chunk of brown bread
baked on the spot, aherring or sardine
and as much wine as one can drink at q
draft. In the evening they feed like
animals. There are wooden troughs on
trestles in the open air, arranged around
three sides of square and filed with all
sorts of pasta"
The men stand around these troughs
(they are like English pig troughs) and
feed with their fingers. 1t is in vain
that their master has tried to induce
them to eat out of plates with spoons.
They broke the plates and threw the
spoons away. Presumably their idea is
that sometimes there are Jumps in the
food, which, feeling with their fingers,
they are able to seize upon, 30 securing
Q large share. National Review.

The Canals of Mars.

As to the so called canals" which
are SO much spoken of now and are sup
posed to be the work of human beings,
Mr.. Lockyer has already shown in a
very interesting paper how the incorrect
translation of the Italian canal by
Canals" instead of channels" has Gre
ated misunderstanding as regards their
real nature.
The fact is that the continents of Mars
which are very easily distinguished by
their brighter reddish color from the
darker and greenish seas-are intersect-
ed by many sinuous lines. which may be
considered as fords and inlets, as we'll
as by straight lines, which, at certain
period of the Martian year, have been
seen as double lines by so clever an OBJ
server as Schiaparelli, and as single lines
at other periods. That these lines,
which run for immense distances paral-
lei to each other and 150 to 200 miles
apart, cannot be ''the banks of artificial
canals" is almost self evident.--Nine-
teenth Century.

Mr.. Gladstone's knowledge.

| What differentiates Mr.. Gladstone
from the others is the curious manner in
which he has managed to combine his
apparent dogged and tireless fixity of
purpose with seemingly the most aston
ishing openness of mind to new ideas
and altered conditions. One must use
these qualifying expressions because the
experiences of his public career are of
such enormous bulk and magnitude,
cover such an unparalleled stretch Of
time and involve such bewildering va
riety of subjects and issues that COM
ment on any one phase of it all has long
since ceased to stand on its own legs.
To understand even relatively any
thing which Mr.. Gladstone says or does
it is essential to understand some fifty
other things which, somewhere, at some
time, he has said or done. The task has
grown too big for even the clearest head
ed of those who watch him and write
about him day by day. Now and again
the newer and more eager critics think
they have caught him tripping, and they
quote against him his own words in 1857
to prove their jubilant charge of self con-
UrdulCUlOu.
Upon the instant he hurls back at
them his remarks in 1851, his conclusions
of 1874 and the differences he publicly
drew in 1882, demonstrates with over
whelming force the line of continuity
connecting all the opinions of all these
dates and covers the scorners with con-
fusion by proving that logically this
line leads straight to his present posi-
ton. AS have said, the store of things
he has behind him has now become 50
vast that outsiders no longer attempt to
keep abreast Of the catalogue, much
less pretend to have mastered their cor
relative meanings and values. Yet he
has every item of the whole huge mass
quite at his fingers ends. He knows ev-
erything that he has ever said on every
subject under the sun, and has it dock
eted in its place in those marvellous men,
tai pigeonholes, ready for production at
call.-Cor New York Times.

Lead Pencils Spread Diphtheri..

Diphtheria is prevalent among the

that the disease has been spread by In
terchanging lead pencils. The board OF
education furnishes pencils for all the
scholars, and the latter are not allowed
to use any others. The scholars get one
pencil today and another tomorrow, all
the pencils being dropped into box at
the close Of school each day. It Is no
exaggeration to say that the average
child using q lead pencil will put the
lead end into its mouth 40 times q day,
and with the pencil going from one
childs mouth to another from day 10

priation. He thinks that all this fuss
about Columbus open the door to ex-

mined that the $142,350 allotted for
exhibition purposes to the Depart
ment of Agriculture will not be vast
ed, and has written long letter on
the subject, which he has had put in
type.
Mr.. Morton has devoted more of his
time to getting rid Of old United
states employees than TO employing
new ores, He has devoted many
hours to discussions with inventors
eager to have their ideas taken up and
experimental upon by the Govern
ment. He has already developed the
nucleus OF what may be his pet agri-
cultural idea. On the mantlepiece
back OF his desk there is bag of little
black seeds, with fluffy bits of cotton
sticking to them. Those are impor-
ted Egyptian cotton-seed, which Mr..
Morton thinks may be extremely val
liable to this nation. They yield, he
says, very much more oil than the
ordinary American cotton-seed.

Nor does it seem probable that Mr..

able to Hawaiian annexation; yet this is
expressly asserted In the New York Sun.
We do not understand that the American

neither do they wish that any ovcrtures
which may be freely made TO us On her
part should be discouraged nor that the
policy Of the last administration should be
reversed on partisan grounds boston
Traveller.
The New York Sun is entirely right.
Mr.. Blount was sent to Hawaii for the
purpose of completely reversing the
wise and state smanl,ke action of
President Harrisons administration in
dealing with these islands. His course thus
far has been an insult TO the Stars and
Stripes and bitter humiliation to the ma
tional spirit and dignity of the American
people. 1t has been infamously narrow
and eowardly. The sooner our contempt
raries learn that the wishes of the American
people will not control the sway of the pres
ent dictator. the sooner they will be in po-
sision to appreciate the logic of the .i,ua-
