This Ia how q Kentucky Judge
charged the jury the other day: III
you believe what the counsel for the
plaintiff has told you, your verdict
will be for the plaintiff; but IL, on
the other hand, you believe what the
defendants counsel has told you, you
will give a verdict for the defendant.
But IL you are like me, and don't be-
lieve what either of them said, /
don't know what you will do" The
jury disagreed.
RECENTLY an article went the
rounds Of the papers to the effect
that children and uneducated work
ingmen do not use more than five or
six hundred words in communicating
with their fellows. An intelligent
lady who had bright child of seven
determined to test the truth Of this
by writing down the different words
used by the child in one month, and
she proved that the statement was
wrong, by exhibiting nearly eleven
hundred words which the child had
used, and used Understandings.
THERE are more working days in
the year of the American workman
than of any other save the Hun
garian. The latter works .3l2 days
in the year, and thus has almost no
holiday save Sunday, The number
of working days in the American
year is 3OS. This is the same
as the Dutch; it is 30 days more
than the English, AL days more
than the Russian, and from to Is
days more than the working year OF
any other European, country. 1t is
noteworthy that even newly arrived
immigrants keep American holidays.
The foreign population in Japan
according to the Revue Franchise
du Japon," amounted on December
81, 1893, to 5000 persons, of whom
6, 730 were males and $500 females.
They belonged to the following nation
alities: China, $40; England, i, AGO !;
United States, 700; Germany, 4l5
France, $50; Portugal, $50; Holland,
so; Russia, 20; Switzerland, 20;
; Denmark, 55; Austria, As; Italy,
40; divers, 55. As it is seen, the
Chinese element is the most consid-
cradle; and still the anti-foreign par
ty which has caused recently two
dissolutions of the Chambers in ia
pan never mentions the Chinese in it's
attacks, which are reserved exclu-
siyely to foreign residents of Euro
pean origin.
FARMER SCHUETTE, of Chester, H.,
who recently took unto himself a
charming wife, thought he could not
afford to lose litter of fine pigs, whose
mother died and left them helpless
orphans, sothe two young economists
constructed pig-feeder--a trough
with ten holes in it, one for each lit
tie grunter, and bottles with nipples
attached, to fit, nipple down, through
the openings 1t required but little
coaxing to teach the piggies where
and how to obtain their tactical nour-
ishment almost as naturally as before
! the demise of their maternal parent.
1t is quite an amusing sight to watch
the porcine babies when feeding time
comes fighting over the choice of
position, and grunting with satisfac-
ton when their sides puff out as they
imbibe their dinner.
PEOPLE who object to multiple.
ity of departments in the Govern
merit should be thankful that they
do not live in New Zealand. where in
addition to the usual State divisions
there is the Rabbit Department,
which is the most important of the
lot. it has the organization and
equipment Of forces and the plan
ming Of campaigns against the rab-
bits, which, if not kept under con-
troll, would overrun and devastate the
south island. The need of this de-
partment is shown by the fact that
in the last five years about 81, 600, 600
rabbit skins have been exported, and
it is estimated that nearly 300, 900, :
600 animals were killed to obtain
that number of salable skins. In
spits OF this wholesale slaughter the
number of Dummies is constantly in
creasing, and the handling of the
enos nous multitude of animals is an
undertaking requiring both judg-
meB and force.
TIE French capital has Just had a
nine days Culinary Exposition,
which was very largely attended, and
is regarded as a success by it's pro-
moters. America has already had a
number of food expositions, but they
havo differed widely from that held
i'm Paris. Cooked foods were speei-
atty in the exhibition ut the Palais
de ;'Industrie, and visitors had an
opportunity of witnessing the pre-
paration by skilled cooks of dishes
from the roast beef of old England to
the most delicate of French desserts.
