MUT1LATED WITNESSES.
Legless and Handless, But Their Tes-

timony Was Accepted.
1T takes a whole man to tell the whole
truth" remarked a colored attorney in
Judge Kimball's court yesterday morning,
when a one-legged colored man took the
witness stand to testify against Rachel
Brown, colored, who was before the bar
on the charge of disorderly conduct in an
alley.
A discussion between the court and law
yer about the subject of entire and whole
witnesses ensued and the trial went on.
The next witness went on the stand.

PLEADING FOR Her CHILD
Margaret Lewis Prays the Court to
Restore Her Baby to Her.
Taken From Her by the Children's
Guardians-Judge Miller willing
If the Papers Are Defective.

Two years ago the infant of Margaret
Lewis was taken from her by the Board
OF Chndren's Guardians, through Justice
Mills, and yesterday the mother APP
peared before Judge Miller and appealed
through Lawyer Sillers to the court for
the TepoSsession of the ba by.
Agent Lewis, OF the Guardians, was in
court to see that the mother did not get
the baby.
The husband of Mrs. Lewis, it was
shown, deserted her at the birth of her
child and she was left destitute. She
went TO the hospitals and charitable insti-
tutions, but was refused admittance. Then
a complaint was filed by the alleged mis-
tress of the husband and Agent Lewis seized
the child and sent it to a family in the
country.
The heart broken mother sought aid
through every channel to gain possession
OF her child, without avail, and as the
last Resource Went To the court.
1t was proved that the mother had an
excellent character and, though frail and
worn by grieving, she was a Woodworking
woman.
Your honor" pleaded Mr. Silers in
her behalf, ''Gor mercy to this woman and
humanity give her back the child which
was torn from her arms by this man
Lewis Cthe agent. Think OF the mothers
love for her infant. 1t was the most
brutal thing in modern civilization. The
savage can be excused for abducting the
children of an enemy, but when this agent
Lewis and his brother deliberately seize
upon the little child of this good woman
who has adequate means Of supporting it,
is burning shame.
These men; Lewis and his BROTHER"
I'm have you understand shouted the
agent, that that man is not my brother"
Lewis then spoke against the motion to
give the child back to its mother, and de-
clared that he had given il to a woman
in the country on a written agreement
and the law could not touch it.
The mother, who stood near the rail
with tears in her eyes, rushed forward.
Give me back my child!' she cried;
for the name OF God give me my child.
All 1 have is the baby, and it is killing
me-
Judge Miller then spoke He stated he
had not the power TO take the baby from
the guardians.
But" said he, find an error for me
in the papers-the slightest error-and
this woman VIII have her child.

The Teeth of Elanhnnts.

Whoever has looked inside an ele-
plant S mouth has seen a strange sight"
said an elephant trainer. elephants
have 10 front teeth, and they never eat
flesh or any food that requires tearing
apart. Eight teeth are all they have,
two above and below on each side, huge
yellow molars as. wide as a mans hand
and a couple of inches thick. Over these
hay or fodder is shifted by the queerest,
ugliest tongue in the whole animal
kingdom, a tongue that is literally hung
at both ends, having no power of move
ment except in the middle, where it
shifts back and forth from side to side,
arching up against the roof of the big
mouth like al immense wrinkling, pink
serpent. There is nothing stranger than
the working Of an elephants tongue
unless it be the working OF his breath
ing apparatus when he sleeps, Eie-
plants, like human beings, have tive
sets of teeth; the milk teeth. which arc
smaller than the permanent molars, fail
out when the animals ARE about IA years
old. These baby teeth, which are never
theless enormous, are occasionally picked
up by circus men among the fodder ant
preserved as curiosit;es. Such a thin
as IN elephant having the toothache O
a decaved molar is absolutely unknown

PRESERVATION OF FORESTS.
An Important Statement From the Secre-
tary of Agriculture.

II do not know any subject mere i'm
portant than the subject of forestry and
the preservation Of tree life, u said Mr..
Morton, Che secretary OF agriculture, to
a Boston Herald correspondent. 81
think that it should be Taught in all
the schools. Forests are an absolute ne
cessity for the maintenance of human
life. The whole animal kingdom would
perish from the earth Il plant life and
growth were intermitted fer a single
summer. Tho assaults on the forests of
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
states which furnish one-third the total
lumber product of the Union-are shown
by the recent census Investigations to be
i'll the nature of organized extermina-
tion. The census bulletin which l read
some time ago stated that at the present
rate of consumption by the lumber mills
OF those three states the quantity of
timber owned by them would not last
more than four Or five years. This is "a
most serious, a most vital matter.
"We must preserve the forests if we
are to avoid the long drought, the drench-
ing and disastrous floods and the lorna
do and the cyclone. Only 10 per cent of
the globes surface is covered now with
forests. Twenty-Five per cent of Europe
is SO covered. Russia has 426, 900, 900
acres of forest; the United States, 1885,
600, 900 acres Brazil, 135. 900, 900 acres.
There are only 1903, O0O. 600 acres of
forests in the world. The forests of Rus
STA are steadily diminishing with the in
crease of population, and particularly
with the emancipation of the serfs.
Russia is clearing 1000, 600 acres year
ly. The car alone has 81, 900 wood po-
lice in the crown forests who cut 100
fagots, or ~ tons of wood, mostly fire.
wood, daily. The average per police
man yearly is valued at SsI9.
France gets a part of her wood sup
ply from Germany. France has increased
her own forests, in the last 40 years
steadily. She has 1000, 900 acres more
now than she had in 1848. In that inter-
val 8, 900, 900 acres of waste mountain
lands have been planted. The govern
ment Of France has planted largely in
Algeria. In Germany the reproduction
of the forests is studied as a science.
There are forest academies there for the
education of forest managers. Eventual
ly there must be more attention given
to forest culture in the United States. ~

Some interesting particulars concern
ing the court of Japan are given by q
writer in LIE Revue des Reyues, who
has recently been Oh a visit to Tokyo.
The Emperor Mutsu- Hito has powerful
ly contributed to the Introduction of
European manners and customs among
his people, and in this he has been cor
daily seconded by the Empress Hoyo
Sauna, to whom he was married in 1860.
Only two years after their marriage she
allowed herself to be drawn through the
streets of the japanese capital in an
open carriage, which followed one in
which her husband was seated, and in
1890 she positively dared to sit side by
side with her husband in the same car
riage. Considering that former empress
es were never under any circumstances
allowed to brave the public gaze, the
amount Of courage necessary to accom-
plish such a feat was considerable.
The empress formerly wore the jap
anese national costume, but she now
dresses like a fashionable lady from
Paris or London. The adoption Of the
European costume, however, was no
easy matter, for no one of the rank of a
dressmaker was allowed to approach the
imperial person. The difficulty was got
owe by finding a young lady Of the
same height and build as her majesty,
SO that the process of being measured
could be gone through by proxy.
