After the brief cross.examination OF
this witness tho legal controversy over
the dispositions was renewed.
Mr.. Butterworth, for Colonel Brock
inridge, moved 10 suppress deposition
taken ior the plaintiff in Lexington,
March I. Notice, he said, had been
served on Mr.. Shelby, who was then an
attorney in the case, having only APP
peared ior the defendant ON one or two
occasions, when dispositions were taken
under special authority.
-itiidavits by Colonel Breckenridge,
his son, Desha Breckenridge, and his
partner, Attorney Shelby, were read at
considerable length regarding the de-
PENDANTS arrangements with counsel.
which did not seem altogether rclovent
in parts, Judge Bradley once interrupt
ing 10 inquire: "M hat has that got to
do with this matter?' The main point
made was that notice OF the depo'itions
should have been given to Colonel
Breckinridge's lawyers in Washington,
Messrs. Thompson and Mckenney.
Mr.. But:erworth argued at length,
and then Mr.. johnson replied Tor the
plaintiff, referring rather sarcastIcally
TO what be termed "the peculiar pro-
ceedlnGs in Kentucky" and the pecu-
liar manner OF the connection OF the
Kentucky attorneys to the case, who
had appeared generally in the prclim-
mary proceedings, for the advantage OF
the defendant, but whose connection in
matters to his disadvantage had secret
qualification. In the taking OF tho
dispositions for Colonel Breckinridge,
neither the defendant, nor Attorneys
Totem, Thompson and Mckonney had
appeared, but always the Kentucky at
torneys, OF whom 1t was now said that
they had not been attorneys OF record.
Mr.. Johnson characterized tho objec-
ton as n piece OF chicanery, insoIence
and eiirontery.
When Mr.. johnson had finished his
argument Judge Bradley said that the
court would adjourn.
Mr.. Shelby, OF Kentucky, oil whom
Mr.. johnson had spoken sharply, Jump.
ed 10 his feet saying: "WIll your honor
allow me, "but Judge Bradley adjourned
court.
As soon as he had done so, Colonel
Breckinridge stepped up before the
bench and addressed him about some
matter, but the judge waved him aside
with an expression OF annoyance on his
face.

and it didn't take the inventor much
longer than that to find out that the
million dollars or so which loomed up
on the horizon the day he made ap-
plication had taken wings.
J. S. Brown, of Michigan, who, by
the way, is no relative of the Brown
of walker and cradle fame, had a
similar experience with his baby ten
der. 1t was a thrashing-machine
looking affair that worked with a
treadIe and might have been con-
structed from the remains of di-
lapidated feed cutter, for all the
beauty and symmetry it combined,
but he got a patent on it. Any self
respecting infant would raise the
whole neighborhood if such thing
were wheeled into his presence, says
the Chicago Tribune, and the irate
father would probably hunt for the
inventor with large double barreled
gun, so it is just as we'll, or better,

Natures Laboratory,

The cream of tartar tree belongs
to the category of plants yielding
ready made products. They are
members of the genus "Adansonia.
The height of the tree is from forty
to seventy feet while the top is over
one hundred and eighty feet across.
A Venetian who has left us the most
ancient description Of the tree, tells
us that in 1854 he found one at the
mouth of the Senegal with circum-
ference of one hundred and twelve
feet. The tree is very disproportion-
ate, as may be gathered from the fact
that Gregory-after whom the Aus
tralian species is named-saw one
eighty-fve feet in circumference at
height of two feet from the ground.
The acid is found in the farinacious
pulp surrounding the seed, and has
at all times been highly esteemed by
travellers, who mix it with little
water in order to make a refreshing
beverage. The bark of the tree con-
tains remarkably strong fiber which
in some parts is made into ropes, in
others woven into cloth. A bitter
principle, to which the name of
"Adansonin" has been given, is ex-
tracted from the bark. 1t appears in
fine white needles of smell similar
to that of aloes or gentian, and is ex-
tremely bitter in taste. It is inter-
esting from the fact that it is the
only product known up to the pres
ent that has an antagonistic action
to the Strophanthus arrow-poison, a
a deadly poisonous seed used by the
natives on the west and east coasts
of Africa, to insure their arrows in
tiicting fatal wound.

J. III. Caldwell, of somewhere in
Massachusetts,, came off second best
with his jumper. He had an idea
that the happiness Of the average
young American would be complete
and the invention decided success,
If he could mechanically produce the
motion of a mothers knee when she
is @trotting" her offspring. But it
wasn't. Although fitted out like a
modern hobby and painted in gor-
geous colors 1t couldn't sing lullaby
or recite Mother Goose, and where is
the pleasure of being bounced up and
down If these are to be left out?
Baby just looked at it and then cried,
and this was the commencement of a
boycott which made Caldwell's ven-
ture Improbable.
P. II. Hurd, out of the two or three
hundred who were at that time regu-
larly producing something that was
of NO account, got clear off the track
when he patented his whirligig,
which was supposed to teach the baby
to creep, and later to walk. There
was never any litigation in regard to
infringement OF this patent; it's life
was as short as that Of a sand-f1y,

A Hint.

Betro5hed people are apt to be alb
sorbed in each other to tne exclusion
of other friends. There is great
temptation to lovers to withdraw
themselves from other interests, to
make the parents and brothers and
sisters who have loved girl all her
life feel that they are no longer neces-
sary t. her: that her heart is gone
from them, while her form is in their
midst. But it would be nobler
love, and one that would promise
more for future happiness, that would
hold the old ties more nearly and
dearly because of this new one, dearer
than them all, which would be sedu
lous to spare the home circle any
slight, any sense of loss beyond the
inevitable one parted presence. Love
is the best gift OF God, bat it should
be crowned with honor-a sovereign
who exalts his subjects, not tyrant
who debases them. A noble minded
girl who will be careful in no least
thing to hurt or slight the home
hearts she is leaving, will show that
she could afford to wait a little even
for her happiness, rather than grasp
it with unSeemly eagerness.

for Brown No. that the demand for
his tender was exceedingly limited.
Along about this time the paragon
of the whole lot was born, but like
it's predecessors it vanished before
any great number of people had an
opportunity to test it and say swear
words at the originator. 1t was all

Whitman couldn't understand why
the cradle and churn should not be
more closely affiliated. so he combined
the two. 1t might have worked all
right and the hand that rocked the
cradle in addition to ruling the
world could, at the same time, have
carried on the more vulgar occupa
tion of making nice prints of yellow
butter for the huckster, only the
cream was never ready to churn when
the baby cried, and when the dasher
was fitted in and everything ready in
the manufacturing department. the
baby was invariably asleep or on its
good behavior. This is the little
point that e. Whitman failed to con-
slider, so he buried his regrets and

Curious Marriage Statistics.

Some curious marriage statistics Of
England and Wales have recently
been made public. Taking all per-
sons above l5 years of age, there are
8,716, 1863 unmarried males, 1851, 54S
married males and 494, 900 widowers,
against 8, 90S, 665 unmarried females,
4,916, $40 married females, and l, 1884,
80 widows. English scientists have
these rather puzzling questions to
answer: Why does the number of
widows so greatly exceed that of the
the widowers? And again, how can
there be 4,916, $40 married females
and only 4, ISL, 54s married males, un-
less some 100, 900 or so persons have
been guilty of bigamy?

entire ground, SO as to leave nothing
for the man in their wake but law
suits. ]. Erickson was one of these.
He invented a baby-walker with
barrel-stave crib combination war
ranted to take all care and worry
from a mothers mind-that is, pro-
viding the little monarch of the
household would put ur with it. But,
like e. Whitman, he overlooked one
important feature. The walker
should have been adjustable for the
use of the father until the baby was
large enough to push it around and
break all the bric-a- brac in the house.

Slatust, and from there had to travel

for mouths, travelling thousands of
miles. And then for long time she
used the tarantas wagons. She stopped
at the different capitals in order to
rest as well as to gain the assistance
of the governors, churchmen and
other influential persons and, through
the recommendation which the En-
press of Russia had given her, she
was enabled to orgarize several COL
lection committees and was assured
of substantial assistance.
She reached Yakutsk in June, where
official notices of her intended visit

were of so incredible a nature that
Miss Marsden carefully prepared OFF,
cial reports and affidavits in regard
to them. Many time she looked
upon death in such appalling hideous-
ness as to haunt her for weeks and
months. Worn out she persevered
and visited the different groups of
lepers, helping and consoling them
with promises Of lasting assistance.
The heartrending scenes that she
daily witnessed made her all the
more determined to leave no stone
unturned in lettering the lot of these
unfortunates. She consulted with
the officials who accompanied her in
regard to the best location for her
future colony, which should comprise

Good Advice.

Sixty years ago the incumbent of
church in Hull used to be called Vicar
Bromby. In appearance he was not
unlike Socrates, and people did say
that he was better acquainted with
Seneca than with ST. Paul.
Just after the passage of the first
reform bill, in 1882, he preached a
sermon in which he uttered this
wholesome Socratic passage:
an these days we hear great deal
about reform. Let me give you a
piece of advice: the best reform is to
make one person better. / need not
say who the person may be. 80.

had preceded her. 1t is to Yakutsk
that the Russian Government ban
ishes the most dangerous criminals,
and it was here she found SO many
lepers compelled to live in the forests
among such horrible surroundings as
to occasion extreme suffering. The
inhabitants refuse to have anything
to do with the lepers, as they believe
the disease is not only contagious but
direct curse of the devil. Nothing
had been done to alleviate their suf-
ferings or to assist them in any way
before Miss Marsden's visit.
Looked Upon Death.
When she left Yakutsk to visit the
lepers in that vicinity she was accom-
panied by fifteen men, comprising
farmers, soldiers, and state officers.
They took with them thirty horses,

piled, expressing great pleasure if
she could be Of any use. 1t was ow-
ing to her efforts that Miss Marsden
secured written recommendations to
all the authorities and officers Of the
country. She left England for ST.
IBERIA the latter part of 1890. When
she reached st. Petersburg the En-
press gave her reception and pre-.
sented her with a large sum Of
money, to be used at her discre-
tion.

The Wonderful Gulf Stream.

People who visit the east coast of
Florida, and especially the Indian
River and the Lake Worth region,
often wonder why the climate of that
section is SO delightful at all times
of the year and SO different in al
most every particular from what one
would expect in those ATTITUDES. The
explanation is simple enough. The
difference between northern and
semitropical Florida, apart from the
latitudinal distance, is due to the
elevation of the former and the dis
lance from it of the Gulf stream.
The waters of the Gulf of Mexico
temper the immediate coast line.
Their effect does not extend far in
land. The stream is pressed close to
the east coast shore along Dade Coun-
ty by the Bahama banks. Atlantic
steamships southwark bound, to
avoid the force OF the current, stand
in so near the shore that they can at
some points be hailed from land.
The Gulf stream is an old story, but
it is a great fact. This vast, deep
blue ocean river, a thousand times
the volume of the Mississippi, is
thirty miles wide, 1000 feet deep,
and has velocity of five miles an
hour the year round. The tempera-
ture of the stream is eighty-four de.
grees, or nine degrees higher than
the waters of the ocean through
which it flows. The trade winds
blowing nine-tenths Of the time, win
ter and summer from the eastward,
bear the stratum of warm air formed
by the Gulf stream westward across
the land. This is why the east coast
is milder and more equable than the
west coast in the same latitude.
With the Gulf stream are found three
other eQualizing agencies-the trade
winds, the Everglades, with water
surface preventing land breeze,
and the zone of high barometric press
ure. The midsummer heat, that
might otherwise be ninety-tive de-
grees, is reduced to something like
lightweight degrees. The midwin-
ter chill, which might get down to
thirty degrees, is warmed up to some
thing like forty degrees.

All for Humanity.

The world has never witnessed a
nobler example of supreme unselflsh-
ness, unless it be the untiring labors
of Father Damien among the lepers
Of Molokai, than that furnished by
Miss Kate Marsden, the young Eng
lish woman who spent some time
with the lepers Of far-off Siberia It
required a total self-forgetfulness
and love of humanity that not one
person in million possesses to under
60 the hardships she endured and
the risk of life which she counted as
nothing, and all this for a people who
were strangers to her.
