cially reported.
have been informed by reliable
persons, that the judges, at several
precincts, peremptOrily refused to
allow a Republican to represent
his party as one OF the judges. /
think each political party had a
legal right to be thus represented.
Judge Noonan himself appointed
Paschal men at the municipal
election in February 1898 to act as
judges, at the precincts, and saw
that they did act. In this course
he was clearly right. The same
rule and the same law was equally
applicable to the recent elections.
When all parties are repre-
sented on the list Of judges,
fraud is impossible, as each
side narrowly watches the oppos-
ing party, and stands up for strict
adherence to the law.
My opinion is, that the arbitrary
course pursued Of refusing to al
low Republicans and Populists to
act as judges at certain precincts
was contrary to law, and invali-
dated the election held at said pre-
cincts. My opinion on this point
is in alignment with the action Of
Judge NOOnan in our last NUM-
cipal election indeed, it is the log
zeal sequence of his action on that
eventful occasion.
There is ample ground for grant
ing writ of injunction restrain
ing the counting Of the ballots cast
at the precincts, where the judges
refused to allow a Republican 10
act as one of the judges of election.
1t would be good ground for con-
testing the election.
1t is high time these open and
gross violations of the law were
shown up and punished. That is
rho only etfectual mode Of checking
such violations Of the law.
There is no doubt, hundreds Of
votes were bought, for money
consideration at the late election.
Hundreds, l have heard, were
openly bought and paid for at
some Of the precincts on the day of
election. 1t is reported that some
OF the candidates on the Big 6
ticket bought and paid for votes
at the polling places on the day OF
election. How can these men take |
the statutory oath Of office, without |
being guilty of perjury? The
grand jury should inquire into all
these violations OF the election law,
and If the evidence suflices to fas.
Ten on them the charge of buying |
votes, indict the men.

A Righteous Homicide.

As the scraping ceased, Rankin stood
before the sheriff. In the sudden pause
of sound and motion his voice sounded
distinctly throughout the room.
81 have just killed Dennis Rumpety,"
he said.
For ten seconds there was absolute
silence; then rough voice growled,

Rankin, the man who loved freedom bet
ter than life, was formally placed under
arrest.
His trial came off the next day but one.
The corOner's inquest had shown death by
apopeXy, caused probably by paroxysm
of rage. The jury rendered a verdict of
''inyoluntary manslaughter." The SEN
tence was the lowest the law allows /;
namely, one days imprisonment with hard
labor.
This unlookedfo for clemency staggered
the prisoner. Oblivious of every fact but
the terrible one that Dennis Rumpety. had
died by his hand, he had neryed himself
for what he believed would be his death
blow. The tension had been too great !;
he could not bear its sudden removal.
"Say, your honor" he cried, regardless
of court etiquette, -''say, your honor,
couldn't you lay it on little heavier"

Handy With Their Feet.

In the natives quarters of the towns of
India the strange spectacle may be seen of
butcher Selling piece of meat in his
hand, cutting it in two with a stroke of his
knife held between the first and second
toes of his foot. The shoemaker uses no
last, but turns the unfinished shoe with
his foot, while his hands are busy in shap-
ing it. So the carpenter holds with his
great toe the board he is cutting and the
woodturner handles his tools as well with
his toes as with his fingers.
This use of the feet to assist the hands
in labor is not, however, the mere result of
practice, but is principally due to the fact
that the Hindoo foot is quite different
from ours in its anatomical conformation.
! The ankle of the Hindoo and the articula-
ton of the back of the foot permit CON
siderable lateral motion. Then the toes
possess surprising mobility. The great
toe can be moved freely in all directions,
and the first and second toes are separat-
ed by wide space, sometimes as much as
tive-eighths of an inch across at the base of
the toes and two inches at their eXtremi-
ties.
The articulation of the hip is also pecu-
liar, and this renders it easier to use the
toes in handling the objects by enabling
tue nlhuoo 10 SIT III squatllng posture
much more comfortably than we can do.
A similar formation of the feet and toes is
found among the Annamose, but it is not,
as might be supposed, common thing
among barbarous and savage tribes. One
naturally thinks of the resemblance to
monkey which human being using both
feet and hands in the manner described
must present, and yet NJ. Regnault is care
full to point out the fact thai the Hindoo
foot is not at all like the foot of an ape or
monkey. The great toe is not opposed to
the other toes like thumb, as occurs
with the monkey, and accordingly the pc
dial deXterty of the Hindoos is not to be
taken as an indication of siman descent

The city on the Housetops.

An article under this title in the July
Atlantic describes a phase of hot-wea.her
life in the tenement quarters of New York:
Then the evening comes; and in summer
this is the fashionable hour for the deni-
zens of the housetops. 1t is less sitting
up there than in the houses, or in the
streets below Often there is a breeze,
generally from the south, with Whit of
the ocean in its breath Then the scene
on the housetops becomes animated. Whole
families are encamped up there: there is
singing, stories are told, sometimes there is
dancing. Musical instruments are not at
all rare, and the accordion is chief among
them. Now and then the merriment of
separate parties becomes extinct all pause
to listen to a single voice that rises high
and distinct above the hubbub. Sometimes
it is hymn of the synagogue, caroled
forth upon the night by boys quavering
voice; sometimes it is an air from an
operetta delivered in stentorian tones by a
"professional' man singer. The applause,
when the performance is over, comes from
every roof in the neighborhood. When
there is a saloon ION the block, and
what block is without its drinking house?
sounds of carousal make their way, from
time to time, to the city on the housetops.
An imprOmptu orchestra, in attendance at
some wedding or birthday festivity in the
brilliantly lighted apartments of family
"on the block, gladdens with its strains
the hearts of tired mortals on the roof.
Sometimes a burst of mad melody. full of
the weird cadence AMI passionate abandon
that characterize the dance-music of the
peasantry of eastern Europe, awakens sad
memories or passionate longing in some
immigrant ("greenhOrn, the older immi-
grants call him) lately come from some far
off country. The poor jew who finds his
way straight from the immigrant station
on Ellis Island to one of the innumerable
sweaters dens of this neghborhood
breathes for an hour, perhaps, the air of
the night, and gazes about him at the
strange city that his toll leaves him no OPP
portunity to investigate. Perhaps he does
not even care to do this, the dull, hard
grind deadening al sentiment Of curiosity
in his soul. Wild unthinking gayety alone
can arouse him from the lelhargy in which
his life is wrapped.
Late into the night the merriment lasts
and then, when good.nights have been
said, it is only about one-half of the COM
pany that descend to take their rest in
doors. The others roll themselves in sheets
and blankets, and prepare for a night under
the stars. \ thunder-shower coming up
in the middle of the night disperses them,
and there is a great noise of scutllng and
running as each one awakes to take up his
bed and walk with it. Between and 3
o'clock of a fine morning, the moon looks
do WI upon a bivouac of shrouded notion
less figures, and the city on the housetops
is turned into a shining metropolis. Little

Squirrels as Farmers Helps.

y naturalist, after a summer spent in
studying squirrels, said: at was found
that about 30 per cent of the contents OF
the stomach of the striped squirrel consist
ed of injurious insects, and among the rest
were cut worms, web and wire worms and
grasshoppers; as high as 80 cut worms and
web worms were found in single squirrel
From the stomachs examined. it was esti-
mated that on an average a squirrel would
eat 300 of these cut worms aud web worms
from the first of April to August, aside
from other noXious insects. The striped
squirrels should be especially protected on
meadow and pasture land. and if some way
can bc found TO prevent their taking corn
they will be found very useful in the corn
field in destroying the cut worms | have
very often noticed that the squirrels do not
dig deep enough about the hills of corn to
reach the kernels, in which cases it i,

The Pride and Hope.

The class in geography was reciting, and
there were several visitors. The subject
for the day was the state of Pennsylvania.
" Now, children, said the teacher, who
can bound Pennsylvania ?'
Half dozen hands went up and waved
wildly in the air, and little girl gave the
boundaries of the state correctly.
"What is the largest city in Pennsyl-
yania - asked the teacher
Philadelphia ," shouted a little boy
with the jersey suit
Now" continued the teacher. " who
can tell me what building there is in
Philadelphia about which no true Ameri-
can should think withou. a glow of love
and patriotism What building is there
which we should all revere, and which
is the pride and hope of every loyal son of
the United States ="
This was a poser, and no one answered
