Sen ten. cd Hair . Man.

Judge Kent, IL Is said. once In very
sensible and summary fashion disposed Of
a QuIbb.e, such as LAWYERS often set up
In defense OF their clients. A man was
indicted for burglary, and the evidence
on the trial showed that IL consisted in
cutting hole through q tent In which
several persons were sleeping, and then
introducing his head aud arm through
the hole and abstracting several articles
Of value. II was claimed by the
prisoners counsel that, inasmuch as he
never actually entered the tent with his
whole body, he had not committed the
offense charged, and must therefore be
acquitted. The judge. In reply to this
plea, told the jury that II they were not
satisfied that the whole man was In
volved In the crime they might bring In
a verdict of guilty against so much of
him as was thus involved. The jury af-
ter brief consultation found the right
arm, the right shoulder and the head
guilty of the crime OF burglary. The
judge therefore sentenced the right arm
the right shoulder and mead to imprison-
ment with hard labor In the state prison
for Two years, remarking that as to the
rest Of the mans body he might do with
as he pIeassd.-Syracuse Standard.

Wonderful Eis ctric Light.

The idea of an electric light which fed
by current from dynamo actuated By
forty horsepower engine. and giving
1000 candle power, can have It's illumi-
mating pc yer intensified m,re than
$4,000 times, is net easy to grasp. II
means the projection OF stream of light
Of about $50. 600. 600 candle power, and
II Is no wonder that the announcement
that such n light is a5sut to be used in
this country has been received with
some incredulity in Europe. Yet this is
the efficiency OF the light which will be
shortly erected at Fire Island for the
Island for the illumination Of the ad-
jacent coast and the protection OF the
fleet OF ships entering New York ,rbor.
gestion of the power OF this lie mp may be
arrived at by bearing in mind that an
ordinary oil lamp is about ;hirty-eight or
forty candle power. and then trying to
imagine the combined beam OF about
5000. 600 lamps. The ordinary electric
light may be put dawn AZ about loo can
die power, and 100000 of these would
about represent the Fire Island light.
The most powerful! oil lamp yet made
is supposed TO shine out on a clear night
for a distance OF thirty-fve or FOXY
miles. but the new light will fash It's
welcome rays to the incoming European
liners" when they are 100 miles away.
The light revolves rapidly and throws
out It's beams with the intensity and
speed Of lightning. The motive power
which actuates 1: Is q simple clock work
s'rsngement contained in a box two
fe.t square and although the revolving
portion of the light weighs fifteen tons,
the mechanism controlling IL Is so deli
cate that the pressure OF two fingers will
turn II. The value of this mary elons
lamp can only be dsterminded by pratt
cial working, but 1t promises to repre-
sent an immense stride In the science of
coast and lighthouse illumination.

THE London Times Saturday print
ed dispatch from Hong Kong which
seems to be a little tishy. 1t says
that at the annual examinations in
Canton, thousands. Of students were
given copies of an imperial decree in
which the doctrines of the Christians
were tiercely condemned. The decree
uses the following language: "A
stupid, black-haired race is establish
ing sundry sects, and they regard not
their own lives, but pretend to rise
again as immortal men and women.
They congregate and, abandoning
chastity, behave like obscene birds
and beasts. Faithful COnfucians
must shoot and stone and behead
them without mercy. /, the emperor,
commend the authorities to eradicate
these weeds and vermin. Kill the
Serpents. Throw them to the wolves
and tigers, because there is no saliva
tion for them either against heaven
sent calamites or misfortunes caused
by human agencies"

Color and Emotion.

It was not by accident that violet was
chosen by many nations as the exclusive
color for mourning, and by us also for
half mourning. Painters suffering from
hysteria and neurasthenia will be in
clined to cover their pictures uniformly
with the color most in accordance with
their condition of lassitude and exhaus-
ton. Thus originate the violet pictures
of Manet and his school, which spring
from no actually observable aspect Of
nature, but from subjective view due
to conditions of the nerves. When the
entire surface Of walls in salons and art
exhibitions Of the day appears veiled in
uniform half mourning. this pred
for violet is simply an.expressiop Of thu
nervous debility Of the painter. Con.

September Ore Shipments.

MinnesOta's iron ranges are not
going to keep up to, their August
record this month in shipping iron
ore. Thus far they have maintained
a rate that if continued to the end of
the month will give total for Dull
nth and Two Harbors of 488,83S tons
as against 624,172 in August. The
September shipments from Dull
nth will be but 100000 tons while the
August shipments were 263,2S6. The
September shipments from Two
Harbors on the present rate will be
but 278,O0O tons as against 36O,SS6 in
August.
1t is not difficult to find the causes
that contribute to tae decrease in the
amount of ore forwarded. Tonnage
is scarcer this month because Mar.
quette is shipping ore. because
wheat and other commodities are de
handing vessels and because coal is
moving to Lake Superior in large
quantities and it'requires considerable
time to unload the black diamonds
And there have been some delays tC
vessels on account of weather.

He has determined to. adopt drastic
measures, to enforce the payment, and
has already cancelled ten timber per-
mits on lands in Aitkin, St. Louis

holders of ten other permits that
either Is per cent Of the value of the

INDIANS ARE GAME BETTORS.
VIII Venture, Their All on q Horse Race
ThGir Chief Diversion.

VIII Venture Their All on q Horse Race
THAR Chief Diversion.
can Indian horse race is the greatest
and most important event Of the year to
the tribes who participate in it, said
Ramon Thornton of Cheyenne to re-
porter. ut is totally unlike our equine
contests, for, to begin with, there is
only one race, for which it takes months
and weeks to arrange the details, and
must tell you that the average Indian is
a remarkably good matchmaker. / do
not think ever saw race that was not
productive of a close, exciting finish.
LAS soon as the day is set for the
great contest every man, woman and
papoose Of both tribes assemble at the
appointed place, bringing all their
worldly wealth to support their cham
pion. When the day of the race arrives,
several large particolored. blankets are
spread upon the ground, at either side
Of which the warriors and chiefs Of the
opposing tribes range themselves, while
behind are the chattering squaws, each
bearing the treasures Of her liege lord.
The head chief Of one side generally
makes the first bet. Silently and with
stolid countenance he steps forward and
deposits his furs and other valuables on
the blanket, often even going, SO far as
to add his much priced rifle to the
whole. The leader of the other side then
places articles Of similar value beside
the first heap. A grunt or nod. and it
is bet. So it goes down the line, wa
gering being conducted with a gravity
that BELTS the occasion, for each tribe
knows that. its opponents will bet all
they have got. Even little groups of
ponies are led off to one side and bunch
ed together, and that means that the
loser will walk many weary mile
through binding a1kai dust before he
sees the tepees Of his people. But there
is no haggling, no disputes, no excla.
nations Of surprise or chagrin at the re-
suit. It is. impossible, as far as any OUT
ward demonstration is concerned, to-
distinguish the victor from the vanc
quished, and in that respect I think the
American, Indian stands alone among
the nations Of the world. Atlanta

Respect.
In her article on 1.-THE Myth Of the
4O0," in Cosmopolitan, Mrs Burton
Harrison tells Of All American calling
upon lady in London and finding her
seated in a big chair by the window en-
gagged in some sort Of needlework. A
young man came in an paid his re-
spects, as 1t was her day at home, and
then bowed himself out. Three years
later the American was again in Lon
don, and again he called upon the lady.
It was her day at home, and there she
sat in the same chair by the same win
dow with the Same needlework, or some
very like it, in her hand, and, more re-
markable still, the same young man
called and made the same remarks he
had made three years before. Mrs. Har-
rison tells this anecdote to show how
unchanged things are in England and
how you are pretty sure to find people
Just about as you left them. The illus
tration is q good one, but can match
1t with a better one over here.
I have the pleasure of knowing q
family in Philadelphia who have lived
in the same house for 40 years. As the
children of this family grew up they
developed musical talent from four or
five generations Of men learned in the

played we'll, and as lived nearer Phil
adelphia in those days than do today
I often dropped in at these rehearsals,
as they called them.
Five years ago was in Philadelphia
ON Sunday. I had not seen my old
friends in Is years, but was sure they
were living at the old place. walked
around to the house, and as I mounted
the marble steps I heard sounds Of mu-
sic. Could it be possible that IRE
hearsal" was going on? Yes, sure
enough. There sat the father, his hair
snow white, with his violin tucked un-
der his chin, and the three 'boys''-
fathers themselves-all playing away as
they had been doing since they were
children. To be sure, they were married
men and did not live at home, but they
