Judge w. w. walling, who had been
holding court out In the late j udgc Mari .
old district under n special appointment
by the governor, told a characteristic story
Of Mari. The latter though a stickcr for
tho dignity of the bench, was great pipe
smoker and allowed the attorneys the
privilege of smoking in court. On one oc-
casion no was trying n murder case ut
Carrizo Springs, in which there was much
suppressed excitement and so much bad
feeling that IL was feared trouble might
break out ut any moment. Late one after
noon, while tho opposing counsel were
arguing the case and the feelings of tho
spectators wore wrought up to the highest
pitch, q solid old citizen sitting just under
the judges stand deliberately filed his
pipe, and with a graceful sweep of his
arm drew the parlor match across his
jeans pants leg In such n fashion rs to
light it with n loud, sharp crack. Tho
court and jury were started, and everybody
looked around In n startled manner, as IL
expecting q general fusillade to follow,
whereupon Mari quickly apprehendcd the
situation and rebuked the pipe smoker
about as follows:
"Gentlemen, the court tolerates smok-
ing In tho courtroom. In fact, the court
mokes itself, but IL must draw the line ut
gentlemen lighting their pipes with their
Iix shooters. "-Galyeston News.

asking a courtier what 1t meant, saying
that the emperor had applied the expires

perfectly satisfied with this explanation
and pleased to learn q new word. A day
or two after she received the Archohan-

Some question was being warmly dis
cussed In the circle, and her opinion was
asked. Wishing to DO very gracious, Ma

AReaI Botanical Rarity

In Professor Enslemann's late work, en-
titled Botanical Rarities," find the fol-
lowing account of a wonderful East India
vegetable curio which the English resi-
dents of Madras have given tho common
name of electrical plant" Ito attempt
to pluck q leaf from this marvellous plant
Is to invite an electric shock equal to that
produced by an induction coil, and II q
compass DO held within six meters Of the
lightning charged oddity the needle will
Get as strangely as IL it had been brought In
direct contact with the magnetic polo It
self. But its electrical qualities do not
astonish the student Of nature to as great
q degree as do tho wonderful intermis-
sions and variations Of its peculiar powers-
These aro most manifest at 3 O'Clock In
the afternoon, gradually diminishing un-
til midnight, or between midnight and
o'clock q. M, when its magnetic proper
ties are hardly noticeable. Day after day
ihese wonderful changes take place, tho
plant gradually losing its magnetism rs
the evening approaches and increasing
rapidly as the darkness becomes more In
tense, only to have the mystic current shot
through its fiber with seemingly Increased
vigor as the sun mounts the tropical skies.
A thunderstorm augments Its qualities q
hundredfold, and, even though sheltered,
It drops its leaves and branches as though
shivering with death stroke. Birds and
beasts as we'll as tho natives shun the
dreadful thing as do the Javanese the dead-
" upas tree. One would naturally sup
pose that this wonder Of electric vegetation
would be found growing in q region
Astounding in magnetic metals. The con-
trary Is the case st. Louis Republic.
