But they viii find some way, I
! am confident, as great is their
genius in all such matters.
What luck chat we rieA are

1t is whispered that before
the spring is over the skirts

If women could only realize the
nature Of the mud and dirt az
cumulated BY the trailing
skirts, and brought into1their
homes, a daily invitation to
cheerful. active, virulent, dead
~ microbes TO jump on and
have a ride" they would never
have n skirt come near tie

ces.

OWED HIN AIN ARM

LII the summer Of 1877 Gen
eral Jubal A. Early was guest
at the Arlington Hotel, Hot
Springs Ark. Among the other
notables stopping there was
the then somewhat famous eX-
Governor Stearns, of Florida
who had been recently appoint
ed by President Hayes on a
commission to adjust Me claims
Of citizens of Hot Springs, who
had improved real estate after
ward decided to belong to Ma
tional Government. One day
the two gentlemen, who had no
personal acquaintance, met in
the hotel Office.
General Early" said Stearns,
politely, you ought to be will
ing to shake hands with me.
You owe me an arm" and he
indicated his empty sleeve.
Chow is that. Governors"
querried Early, at the same
time extending his hand.
II lost that arm in the cause
of the Union at Winchester,
where you commanded the Con
federate army"
"Indeed2" responded the Gen
eral, suavcly, as he stroked his
long sray beard and slightly,
Strengthened his bent figure.
"You mustn't blame me for
that. always instructed my
men to do their duty, but some
how the rascals would b!under."
The future intercourse of TIE
two gentlemen was limited to a
passing bow.-Chicago Journal.

DAMAGES AND FEES.

An order recently issued in
The Supreme Court in Brooklyn
directs the distribution of the
damages obtained by a little
girl in a suit against "a trolley
company. The girl bad lost
both her feet and the compen-
sation awarded by the .judg-
snent in her favor was Si3,
26s.6s. The money was depos-
ited in the Kings County Trust
Company. and the court has
ordered the trust company TO
pay the girls lawyer 7,244 50
rs his share of the Judgment,
leaving the crippled girl as her
share the more modest portion
of s6,o23.s3,
The order of the court is
doubtless in accordance with
abe law, but it will be exceed
ingly difficult to demonstrate
to- the average law mind the
Justice of such a decision. If
the lawyer In the case had also
suffered tine loss of both his
Feet if he had been rendered a
cripple for life, he could hardly
have claimed a larger share Of
She award than he gets as his
fee.
The popular idea of an award
of damages is that 1t IS just
and. due compensation for
injuries sustained, not re-
ward for legal Learning and
eioqueRce; and that if the
compensation does not reach
the injured party the intent to
reach the injured party the in
tent of the law fails. Certainly
in the present case it would
have Looked more like even
Justice if the lawyer had been
awarded the damages and if
she plaintiff had got the law
