The Juror Knew His Spouse and There
fore DisObeyed the Court.
On one occasion Judge Andrew Eli
son was trying an important case at
Macon City, and it was desired to rush
it through in order to make way for an
other case coming up next morning,
says the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch. The
court instructed the jury and court Of
icials to return after supper that
night, as it was intended. to hold
night session. At seven o'clock all the
officers, numerous witnesses and the
jury, with one exception. were prompt
ly on hand OF course, nothing could
be done without the absent juryman.
The minutes ran into hours and still
the prodigal didn't return. At late
hour court adjourned without having
accomplished anything. Next morning
sharp at nine o'clock the twelve jury
men were in the box: His honor
scanned the crowd and asked for the
truant. He was pointed out and the
court ordered him to stand up.
''Mr. - said the judge, address
ing the derelict, ''didn't you under
stand the order of the court last night
requiring the jury to be on hand after
supper?"
''Yes, your honor" said the iuryman.
explaining, "but you see live quite
ways out of town and my wife gave me
an order prior to the courts order and
her order was that shouldn't stay in
town over night. 1 considered the
matter and concluded it was safer to
risk your honor's displeasure than
her'n, because" he added, earnestly,

The court looked solemn moment,
as If weighing some mighty problem.
then smile started across his face,
and the bar, court officers and specta-
tors broke out in tunlultuous laughter.
The juryman was forgiven; there were
many there who could, perhaps, ap-
preciate his position.

ToDAYS MENACE.

The members of the city council are
in quandary as to what to do with the
Coxey army when it arrives. This army
contains 700 men, and they realize that
the city is practically powerless to COM
mand them to leave or to demand any
thing whatever of them. The serious
ness of the situation in national sense
is made apparent by the object lesson
which The Dalles is to receive, and
which nearly every city and town in the
country will receive. The trouble is
aggravated by the sympathy given them
by labor unions, and the ovations they
receive en- route to the capital. This
strengthens them in their purpose and
they are led to believe they are enlisted
in righteous cause. But while, so far,
the various contingents of this great
army have claimed to be law-abiding
and peaceable, there is every element of
anarchy in it, and they. need only to be
modified and harangued by fiery speak
ers to enter upon career of carnage and
rapine which might tear the nation
asunder. Chaos would reign and gov

facts it becomes matter of extreme
gravity as to the reception they are
given en- route, and matter of great
responsibility on the part of every citi-
zen. Every intelligent and worthy man
should weigh the matter carefully in his
own mind before lending his moral or
financial support to horde of men who
have the power to inaugurate a bloody
civil war in our midst. He should
analyze its component parts, and ascer-
tain its desires and intentions. There
are probably some worthy men among
them, but it is certain the majority are
vagabonds and would not work
if work was offered them. The army
claim to be peaceable, but already we
have seen that they have seized train

Proof that Sparrows Can Count.
There is no doubt but that birds
can count, and an incident | Wit
messed several years ago illustrat'
ing this fact amused me not a
little. A sparrow, with four OF
her yonng, had nest in a sparrow
house under the verandA OF my
dwelling. One day the old bird
flew up on to the nest with four
living worms in her beak. The
four living birds reached out their
heads with the customary noise
and were each fed worm. The
sparrow then flew away, and after
time returned again with four
worms IN her beak, which were
disposed of as before. The bird
kept this up for some tim during
which I was an interested spec

Wire Wound Pipes.

An important change is to be noted
in engineering practice-namely, that
of winding steam pipes over 5 inches in
diameter with three sixteenths inch cop
per wire, thus nearly doubling the burst
ing pressure, in the Case Of merchant
steamers using high pressure steam. -
is found that, as with the wire wound
gun, wire Of square section coiled round
the pipe under tension adds enormously
to the strength, and the results Of some
tests have showed that wired pipe
stands just about the pressure it ought
to have stood when unwired had the
copper not been injured in the brazing.
To obviate the risks of careless brazing
and enable the thickness Of sheet copper
forming the pipe to be reduced to
minimum, at the same time that full
advantages Of wire winding is secured,
an improved system Of manufacturing
steam pipes has been devised-forming
even a closer analogy to the wire<gun
than the usual system Of wire winding
and consists in using copper Of the
thinnest practicable guage to form the
interior to the core Of the pipe. The
body Of the pipe proper is composed OF
steel wire wound closely around the
core, the interstices being filed in solid
with copper by a new system Of copper
electro deposition. New York Sun.

Fun With Sea Turtles.

and look at the sea turtles. When / got
up and looked over the rail, the whole
ocean, as far as I could see ahead Of us,
was covered with turtles. They were
tremendous fellows and were padding
along lazily in the opposite direction to
that In which we were going.
1T didn't take us long to rig up a
windlass and tackle and begin pulling
some Of the old fellows aboard. We
picked the biggest, as they came, and
in the course Of three hours we had
caught &c, about all that we could
handily dispose Of about the ship Only
nine Of them lived until we reached
New York, and we sold them for good
prices. The shell Of one that weighed
47O pounds is now in front Of an eating
house on Houston street, New York l
would hate to say how many turtles
were in sight of the Mary Lyle that day
for fear somebody might think l was
fish yarning, but they came by us stead
lily for FIVE hours, and when we got
well into the school it extended as far
as the eye could reach on all sides, and
there was turtle to about every 40
square feet of water, and 1 didn't see
one that weighed less than $50 pounds "

Oh, now and then there comes a day
When all our skies are bright,
And all of life's appointed way
Is bathed in golden light,
When roses hide no thorns beneath,
When love has no alloy;
And zephyrs fnll of perfume breathe
From out the hills of joy.
The present is fleeting thing
The past will live for aye,
Aud all its store of pleasures bring
Forever and day.
Aud softer shall the echoes come
FIem times recedlng shore
Each will CLEAN pleasure from
The days that are no more.
Oh, memories of such, awake!
And glad the weary Nov;
A wreath os recollections make.
To crown the dreamer's brow.

Bring back the golden sheaves!
