DR.. McClees, James Howard and Lizzie
Hill testified that Bessie Cooper WAS not
mentally capable of transacting business
at the time the mortgage was given. Her
mind had been wandering then and for
some time previous. her special cbarac-
'te-istics being that she had no memory
whatever. The defense will probably
prove that each Of these parties had claims
against Bessie Cooper and ara Interested
witnesses.
The casewill be continued today.

 The land is surveyed and mapped out in alotments, varying in size from thd character of the land. but rarely exs ceeding six hundred acres. It is al. lotted to settlers first on q system ol lease, at q nominal rental, usually about twelve cents an acre per annum. The lessee is required to cultivate and improve the land, and if these require, ments are properly complied with he may acquire a clear title to the land al the expiration of the lease. Persons desiring to settle on the land are re, quired to file an application with the government land office. These applica, tions are considered by d local land board presided over by magistrate which investigates as to the suitability of the applicant, with the especial ob jeet of finding out if he is bona fide settler and likely to prove a suitable one.
 When all the applications are passed upon, or, if there is rush for the land. at an appointed time every allotment is balloted for separately. Each suitable applicant is entitled to chance in the ballot or lot drawing for every allot. ment, provided, of course. he has not already been successful in previous drawing. Not more than one allotment is granted to one person, and no person is eligible to participate in the ballot who already has an area of public lanG amounting to six hundred and forty acres. He may, however. make up his holdings to this limit

 The tenure of the lease on these par ticular lands was set at nine years and five months, and 1essees were required to cultivate and otherwise improve their land, and also to destroy all yer min thereon The latter provision re- ferred mainly to the ineradicabIe plugue of rabbits that atfiicts Australia.

Cruelty tn 4 Ilnn.

A lion tanner was brought into court by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of London on the charge of .cruelly beating, ill treating and torturing a certain animal, to-wit, a lion. Lions were in a cage wherein a woman executed a serpentine dance, and were whipped and irritated to q state of bad temper to make them suffi- ciently wild to gratify the vulgar taste of the public. The prosecution alleged that the lion, being dependent on man for food and stlstenares and under his dominion, could not be regarded as fere naturae. The lion tanner hustled the lions about with a whip and pole, in order to give an excitement to the lady's dance. The judgment of the court was. that the lion could not be made into domestic animal within the meaning of the act, and the lion tanner was discharged. Chicago Times.

Nest.
 To see only the bottom of the nest, yet to know that within 1t lay young swifts which were being fed in some way by their parents, was tantalizing. recalled a former year. when wished to secure a swifts nest with its full set of eggs, and so had kept watch 'Eof the nest; not by climbing to the sehimney top and peering down, but by raising a small mirror. by whose aid Ihad seen the reflected nest from be- low. The mirror served it's purpose second time. l lashed it to the tip of fishing rod, and pnshed the slender joint np the chimney, adding first the mid de joint and then the butt, in order to bring the glass well above the nest. Something white was in the nest
 just what, l could not at first tell, for mortar dust had fallen into my eyes, and it was difficult to keep the glass still enough to see with my eyes blink ing and weeping. The mother-bird had been driven from the nest by the app pearance of the strange misshapen thing which 1 had forced toward her from below, and she was now making short flights back and forth in the ups per part of the chimney, producing sounds and sudden variations in light and darkness which would surely have Frightened away any but a human in- truder. Wiping my eyes and steady ing the glass. 1 took q careful look at the contents of the nest. The white object, or at all events it's whitest part, was an eggshell from whose opened halves young bird was feebly trying to escape. Without wait ing to see more, withdrew the mirror from the chimney and removed all dis turbing objects. myself included, from the fireplace. My heart reproaehed me. Had my violence driven the birds from their nest, thus making probable the death of the young al this trying crisis 5n their career? More than fifteen min utes passed before booming wings in the swift's grewsome nursery assured me that parent hadsreturned. Frank Bolles, in Popular Science Monthly.

Ideal Existence.
 William Henry Bishop, in an article on Hunting an Abandoned Farm in Upper New England, describes the de- l1ghtful home Of q literary man and his family on the shores ofEake Winipiseo- gee. The house was simplicity itself. he says, rather camp than villa, and | it purposely held as little as possible to give a hoaselfeeper any uneasiness.
 A son of the family above adverted to was settled about as far from Center Harbor. down Lake Asquam, as was his father from it on Lake Winipiseogee. His pastures rose steeply to the bold crag of Red hill; in front of him lay l long. slender islands, like black steam CTS at anchor, and across the lake rose upon the view Black mountain, White face Rattlesnake hill, and Choeorua. 'arying all their tones with the slssing hours. The young pro- brietor was college man, and had pursued for awhile some city occupation; but he had taken to farming out of pure love of it, and not the worst seventies of winter had been able to daunt him. He hoed with his men ill planting time, pitched hay with them in having time. and lugged his own heavy buckets of sap through the snow in early spring, in maple=sugar time. 1t was vindication of the ideal, a testimony to the world of actual, hard physical labor, which. for us, despite the disparagement of the indo- lent and the maledietions of the work ing man-who gets something too much of it-is most desirable, a beautiful, benefieent thing We please to marvel when a city person goes off heartily in- to the country, and yet the following paradox is true, namely. that it is city people who are precisely the best-ftted for the country. Your average denizen of the country has no appreciation of natural scenery, never raises his eyes to notice it, scarce knows that it exists; thus he suffers all the disadvantages of the country without its principal com pensation Century.

Chinn,s Lanenace.

A writer holds that Chinese lan- guages is misnomer. There is, he says, mo such thing as a Chinese lan- guage any more than there is a Euro pean language. A Canton man can not understand an Annoy man, and have seen two Chinamen sitting together with third one acting as interpreter. Pigeon English is the common tongue of commerce. It has a vocabulary of less than one thousand words, but is sufficiently flexible to answer any purv pose. Were China but an island, or a serieso of islands, instead ofhalfof large continent. and were thus open on all sides to the omnipresent language car rying British steamer, it is within the bounds of probability that pigeon En- glish would ere now have replaced the national tongue to such an extent as to cause intense alarm to reign in the Chi nese Chauyinistic camp.

..Rotanistsv in Drug Stores.

Chemist and botanist. is phrase that forms part of a sign of druggist here and there about town. The word sbotanist' as thus used indicates that the druggist deals in herbs and roots, the 'simplesn of an earlier day. There are wholesale drug houses that make a speciality of medicinal herbs, and the demand for them is large, though per haps not increasing. Many of these have a recognized place in the materia medica of the schools, but many oth7 CTS are old women's remedies, the cure alls of herb doctors, and even the in gredients of philters described by for tune tellers, astrologists and the like. One herb doctor and elairyoyant has nearly two hundred and fifty preserip- tions week compounded by the drug gists that are also '.botanists' All sorts of odd prescriptions of roots and herbs are sent in to the botanists by every species of quack great or humble. There are a few common herbs that are constantly called for, and there are elaborate prescriptions handed down by tradition and known to few families. Doubtless traces of voodooism could be discovered among the prescriptions of the botanists. Many of the herbs pre- scribed by all sorts of irregular practi- tioners contain the active principles of well-reeognized drugs. IN. Y. Sun.
