In 174S, when Marshal SAKE was tray
cling through the Low countries. he
came to the town of Namur, in Bel
GUM. Among other things which the
citizens did in his honor, they got up
battle on stills. The town was biect
to overflow from the rivers on each
side of it, and the people, from much
use of stills at such times, had become
very expert with them, and often had
stilt-battles on holidays. The young
men formed themselves into opposing
armies, with flags and trumpets to
make the scene gay. 1t was against
the rule to use club or weapon of any
sort, or to fight with fists Punching
with their. elbows and kicking with
their stills, to knock their opponents
legs from under them, were the meth
DDS of the assault employed in these
stilt-battles. 1t was rough sport, for
the combatants fought as if their lives
depended on the result; and although
no one was ever seriously injured
there were many bruised arms and legs
before battle was decided. The wives
and sisters of the combatants cheered
them on, and FASTENED to the assis-
lance of those who fell, helping them
up again as soon as they had recovered
Marshal Sake declared on the occasion
of the battle arranged in his honor
that if two real armies should fight
with as much fury as was displayed by
these young fellows on stills, the bat
tie would deserve no better name than
that of butchery.-Youths Companion.

WHAT THE LITTLE SHOES SAID.

I saw two dusty little shoes
A-standlng by the bed;
They suddenly began to talk,
And this Is what they said:
We're just as tired as we can be.
We've been most everywhere;
And now our little master rests
1t really is not fair.
He's had his bath and sweetly sleeps
Twlxt sheets both cool and clean,
While we are left to stand outside;
Now, don't you think it mean2
We've carried him from morn till night;
He's quite forgot, that's plain;
While here we watch. and wait and wait
Till morning comes again.
And then he'll tramp, and tramp, and tramp
The livelong summer day.
Now this is what we'd like to do
Just carry him away,
. Where he could never go to bed,
But stay up all the night
Unwashed and covered Ger with dust
Indeed! 'twould serve him right"

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-While it may
be tMe, as so often stated, that great
city is a discouraging place in which to
build up professional practice of any
sort, it is undeniably fact that it is
only in the busy oenters Of industrial
and commercial life that the greatest re-
wards in art, science, medicine, theol-
ogy and the law can be won. And this
is more strikingly true Of the law per-
haps than of any other profession.
So well has this come to be under
stood that within the past two or three
decades several legal luminaries who
had already won professional and finan-
cial success away from New York have
pulled up stakes and migrated hither,
where they felt sure they could earn
still bigger fees and still wider renown.

A nice little animal story is given in
Nature Notes, which raises the inter-
esting question whether mice have a
fondness for music. 1t is contributed
by q musician. who says: Zone evening
I was somewhat startled at hearing my
piano suddenly giving forth sweet
sounds, apparently of its own accord.
A mouse. SO it proved. had got inside
the instrument, and was making music
on the wires. Whether this was inten-
tional on mousie's part or not, Icannot
say: perhaps he was trying to make q
nest for himself there. Some years
ago. however, while . piano was being
played in the dining-room Of my old
home, several mice came out upon the
hearthrug and began to jump about,
apparently with delight at the sound
Of the music, and one allowed himself
to be carried away in q tongs by the
housemaid." After this. ladies ought
to lose their antipathy to mice; indeed,
we may soon expect some humanitarian
dame to commence musical parties for
their delectation. It would be anus
ing to see them dance, and form a real
ly humane method OF catching them.

Fatal Shooting at Lead.


A fatal shooting occurred at Lead on
last Thursday in which John James was
shot by John Stewart his sonln-law
and died in about twelve hours. It ap-
pears from reports that James had g.
hayward daughter whom he had driven
from home because of her waywardness
and his other daughter, Mrs. Stewart
and her husband had taken her In and
were giving her assistance which greatly
irritated James and he had threatened
to kill his son-in-law on sight. On Thurs
day the two men met and James began
throwing stones at Stewart which was
answered by a six,shooter, the effect OF
which proved fatal to Mr.. James. The
killing is considered justitiable as it was
purely in self defense-Stewart tried to
evade an encounter with James.

WHY FROST EXPANDS WATER.

Scientists Are Still Puzzled over the Well
Known Phenomenon.
One of the most curious natural phe-
nomena, and n which has never yet
been explained by the philosophers,
il that III reference to the expansion
of freezing water. The case of water,
says the st. Louis Republic. is a singu-
lar exception to ali natural laws of
expansion by heat and contraction by
cold. which apply in cases of all other
known liquids. When water il freez-
ing it contracts in bulk down to the
point where the mercury reaches the
reading of 3yh degrees. or ~ de-
grees above freezing. from which point
it slowly expands according to the
intensity of cold. No other liquid is
known to possess this remarkable prop
crty, except that certain metals expand
slightly in passing from a liquid to u
solid state. But if heat be applied to
water after IL has cooled down to n
temperature of 3yH degrees (the point
where it is ready TO begin expanding
should a greater degree of cold be ap-
plied) it will Immediately expand by
the universal law. But should we low
er the temperature to 80 degrees it will
expand by its own SPECIAL law. An
other curious point to be noted here is
this: That the amount Of expansion
is as great in water lowered from 3YH.
degrees down to 30 degrees as it is in

PARIS USES LOTS OF ICE.

The Germ sharps Say Natural Ice Con-
tains Bacini.
Among the first of the many curious
things that impress the American sum-
lei visitor to Paris is the way the
French have of doing out ice as if it
were diamonds, and the horror which
Parisians profess for the American
custom of icing their drinks and there
by impairing their digestions, says the
New York World. Notwithstanding
NIL this the consumption of ice in Paris,
especially for domestic uses, has in.
creased rapidly during the last few
years. and if it continues at the same
rate it will not be long before it sur
passes that of New York. The last
twelve months show a total consump-
ton of over HOO 0 900 pounds.
Most of the natural ice used in Paris
is taken from the lakes in the environs
at Chaville, in the woods about Yer
sailles and St. Cloud, and even from
sheets of water in the Bois de Boulogne
and Vincennes. Ice is made artifi-
cially in large quantities, however, and
is sold at q much higher price than the
natural article. Natural ice, indeed.
the Academy of Medicine says, is full
of bacilli in q state of suspended anima-
ton. and the doctors recommend that
only artificial ice be used for domestic
purposes.
The highest-priced ice comes from
Norway and from Switzerland, where
it is gathered from the glaciers and
from the mountain tops. This costs
from 20 to 80 francs a ton. Artificial
ice costs but a trit1e less, but that which
is gathered in and about Paris is sold
from nine to ten francs a ton. The
city of Paris harvests the ice in the
lakes in the Bois de Boulogne and
Vincennes, and sells the crop, safely
packed in the municipal ice houses, for
$4,000 %francs.or about Sill 900, annually.

and Jaihes Stephens 5000 were declared
forfeited and the money turned into the
treasury.
In the case of the state vs.. VIM. II.
Tompkins, treasurer, a verdict was rem
dered for the state on all issues. This
action was brought about to recover q
draft issued by the Black Hills National
bank on the Metropolitan National
bank. Chicago for $118.4O due the state
Tor lease OF school lands. The treasurer
procured the draft on the day prior to
the failure Of the Black Hills National
and forwarded to the state treasurer
who issued q receipt in full. BY the time
the draft reached Chicago. payment was
refused on the ground that the Black
Hills National bank had suspended.
The next case called was that Of Con.

sulting in the dismissal of the defendant
and q judgement against plaintiffs for

The case OF Chas. Fallon VS.. John
