Women as Judges.

IL is perhaps out of order for q woman
TO condemn her own sex, but it is none
the less true when a feminine voice de-
Clares that women as judges are not just,
and that when they are called upon TO
analyZe the frailties of their own sex they
never take into consideration all the heart
ache and the pain, all the struggle and the
WEAKNESS that prompt tho actions that
they cannot understand and therefore can
not rightly interpret. The martyrs Of olden
times were rs nothing compared with the
women of today who go about with smil-
ing faces, while underneath that calm ex
terror lies tragedy that the world will
never know and which frequently impels
them to actions that in the light Of cen.
serious Judgment seem unwomanly and
positively immoral.
What right have any of us to judge of
the superficial character OF any one with
whom we come in contact? We know our
selves that we carry about with us dou-
BILE nature. What we are TO one person
we are not TO another. The life that we
show in one place is quite distinct from
the one which brightcDs and illumines an
entirely different residence. Which one,
then, is rcalE BY which are we Judged
And can a safe estimate be given of any
ones character from the transient CLEANS
that are given in Kaleidoscope fashion,
first bright, then grave and infinitely sadS
The woman whose life does not hold some
sorrow is blessed beyond measure.
Few there are who attain the age of 80
who have not lived through ordeals to
which in comparison the stake would be a
momentary pleasure. Gossip and scandal
roll rapidly away the foundation stones OF
a woman's reputation but would it not be
wiser, would it not be more humane, to
examine first the incentive that prompts
many actions that in the sight Of the world
are to be criticised and condemned? Char.
ity covcreth multitude of sins, likewise
IA multitude Of faults, and the most wOm-
anly attribute that can be cultivated is
charity. Mans judgment is perhaps harsh,
| but it is likewise just. WOman's judg.
ment is hnsty and likely TO be mistaken

ADAMS ARMoRIAL ENSIGNS.
Heraldic Authorities Ascribe TO the First
Man Two Coats of Arms.

Heraldic Authorities Ascribe to the First
Man Two Coats of Arms.
Although heraldic authorities have made
no direct attempt to solve tho VCxed ques-
ton,
When Adam dclvcd and Eve span,
Who was then the genteman2
yet they have assigned to Adam two coats
of arms. Tho first, which was borne in
Eden before the fall, when he needed
neither coat for covering nor arms for
defense, consisted Of a shield gulcs, upon
which the arms of Eve "a shield nrgent)
were quartered rs an CsCutcheon of pre-
tense, she being an heircss. The second
coat, borne after the expulsion from the
garden, was "paly tranchc divided every
way and tinCturCd uf every color"
The use Of furs in blazonry Is, 1t has
been solemnly asserted, n relic of the gar.
ments Of skins worn by our first parents
The second man who lived upon the
earth Abel, was we are told, a true gen
tleman, proof that it does not neccssa-
rlly take three generations TO manufacture
the article. Cain was mo gentleman" by
behavior, but he was the first man who
desired to have his arms changed, 80
God set his mark upon him."
Nearly all the principal characters in
the Old Testament have been accredited
with coats Of arms. These are, as rule
highly appropriate, except in the case Of
Josephs hcraldic coat, which was merely
black, tinotured with white-"chequy sa
BILE and argent nt'-whcrcas something after
the pattern Of Adam 5 second coat would
surely have been more in keeping with
the youthful Joseph 5 favorite attire. Gid
con bore arms, sable, fleece argent, a
chief azure quite d'cau; David "a harp
in a field argent, and Samson gules, "
lion couchant, or within an orle argent
semee Of bees sable.
Armorial cnsigns are supposed to have
received divine sanction, for God, when
prescribing unto Moses the form of con-
Quoting the Israelites in their journey
through the wilderness, expressly com
manded the use of armorial signs, saying,
1.-THE children of Israel shall pitch their
tents every man by his own camp and ov.
cry man by his own standard. "-Cornhill

The Detection OF Forgery.

DR. p. Frazer is the designer Of n sys-
tenn of composite photography whereby
the type Of persons writing, and cspc
oially the signature, can be so established
as to constitute comparative guide for
the detection Of forgery. This system,
which, since its introduction in 1886, has
given valuable results before various
courts, has now been modified, and meas
urement and tabuation, which compo
site photography formerly established au
tomatically ny form, are now determined
by figures. BY this method "a given mum

uARyrss ron WORK IN oncuAnps

HARNESS FOR WORK IN ORCHARDS
to start tops too high rather than too
low, thereby exposing great length of
trunk to injuries of sun and wind and
elevating the top beyond the reach Of
pickers aud of sprays. For most trees
the ideal length of trunk is under four
feet rather than above it, and imple-
ments now in the market allow of this
lower training
Trees which have low tops or which
hang low with fruit can be reached by
separating the halves of any of the dou.

er. A cutaway harrow rigged in this
way will work away the back burrows
from under the trees during the season.
All cultivators or harrows with high
handles, wheels or levers should be dis.
carded if orchards are worked when the
limbs bend low with fruit.
This labor of working about trees is
greatly facilitated by the use of har.
nesses which have no metal projections.
There should be no names with elevated
tops, and the turrets on the back pads
should be simply leather loops. The back
pad itself should be reduced to q single
wide strap entirely devoid of wadding.
Harnesses of the Sherwood type, with nc
traces, but drawing by single chain
between the horses, are excellent in or
chards, as they require no whitfletrees
Such harness is illustrated in the Cor,

A Word About Ducks.

When ducks have been properly cared
for, they often begin laying as early as
January, though February is the more
usual time. The eggs from ducks bring
nearly double tho price of hens eggs in
some markets, and as the duck will lay
from 100 to no eggs she is very valu.
able fowl. In feeding ducks do not give
them too much grain to the exclusion Of
other foods, Cooked turnips, with a
small quantity Of ground meat added
and enough ground oats and cornmeal
to make the mess palatable, will make
a cheap meal and answer all purposes,
but if they are laying well they should
be fed three times day, beginning ear
ly i'll the morning. They must have ami
nal food in some form, or they will not
lay we'll Weak legs Indicate not only
that the ducks are overfed, but when
the quarters are damp they will some
times get the rheumatism. 1t is best tc
allow them to run out for exercise when
it can be done, and their quarters should
be clean, with plenty of cut straw on
the floor.

Level Culture For Potatoes.

The Rural Now Yorker began its ad.
vocacy of level culture for potatoes and
corn about Is years ago, and it has not
since seen amy reason to change. There
is no reason for hilling potatoes except
to kill weeds True it is that potatoes in
hills are moro easily harvested than those
in drills, but this is Offset by the differ
ence in yield Where land is not well
drained, we have some reason for hill
ing, but such land is not we'll suited tc
potato culture. II the vines are to be
billed up, the sooner the work is done
the better. 1t is then equivalent to plant
ing deeper. Killing the soil about the
stems directs the rain from where it IL
most needed to where it is least needed
It is best to cultivate shallow until the
vines prevent cultivation.

The Highest Expression of Thoughts
Which Lie Too Deep For Human Words"
IL Is not essential tu the true disciple Of
the Wagnorian drama that he should
know the science, texture or structure Of
the music No call is made upon him for
this special knowledge and 1t will not
enable him better to understand the trag-
edy or passion presented to him, though it
may add to his admiration for the genius
of the author. At first tho experienced
musician may even find himself at a dis
advantage at Baireuth, as his attention
may easily be too much occupied with the
form, and the first impression of the
whole may bo somewhat weakened by the
study of the detail.
TO some people who look exclusively
for pleasure and recreation in music, the
mere mention of Wagner's name calls up
simply rccollections of clushing instru-
ments and loud sounding trumpets--use-
less noise, as they are pleased to call IT.
Nevertheless from q purely musical point
of view, the beauties and perfcctions Of
Wagncr's composition are thoroughly well
appreciated by the concert going public,
and IL is unnecessary to dwell on these
qualities which have been fully recognized
for some time past. But it Is not yet 50

shines like Il beacon, leading the German
art student to trucr apprehension OF ma.
tional life and character and of the innu
onco which art should have in moldng the
future destiny of the race.
II is the new musical drama which
Wagner has created which Is to be the
highest expression of thoughts which lie
too deep for human words" and which
shall show tho light that never was on
sea or land" Those whose chief delight
lies In the ideal rendering Of beautiful
music alono may perhaps be dissatisfied
by finding everything here subordnated
to the dramatic conception. Tho true in
depreciation of the drama must be sought
in the greatest possible perfection of the
whole through tho individual parts, and
slight failings in the scenic effects and
histrionic action or vocal and musical
shortcomings are scarcely perceived by any
one who is wholly absorbed in the rove
lations made to them 10y performances of
such marvellous powCr.--Ninctecnth Cen
