PoETlcAlLAW.
The Lawyer Was Weak on Rhymes, bat
 He Got a Verdict.


 He Got a Verdict. An eccentric Irishman named Brooue, who lived in Queens county and owned an estate valued at 5000, GOO, has made MT. Towns one of four heirs, and his share will be $l50, GOO, says an old copy of the Troy Times. About ten years ago an old man entered his office and requested an interview
 He stated that he had long been inter. ested in reading of Allegations, and he had seen the name of MT Towns in the news papers as lawyer who did not take the law too seriously, so Eroone camo to MT. Towns, saying he had decided to give him the first case that he was interested in, on condition that he would sum up the case in rhyme.
 The caso was that of Mrs. Bridget Row an against John Bedell for damages for being bitten by dog and drenohed with water from a hose To comply with Mir. Broone's request Mir. Towns summed up the case as desired. After reciting how Bedell who
 Keeps near the park, oh, sad to tell,
 A low resort of vice and sin,
 Where he dispensos rum and gin.
 Yet, not content with deadly cups, He keeps two wild, ferocious pups To Slay thosC who escape h1S lalr With deadly hydrophobi-air the poet went on to say that Bedell,
 Seeing she was but woman,
 Set his puppies on Mrs Rowan, And us he saw her run with fright,
 Trying to save herself by flight
 He shouted, "Bil1, before she goes
 Just play upon her with the hose"
 Cursed, assaulted, allbut drowned,
 Bleeding from the puppies wound
 The plaintiff gentlemen of the jury,
 At last escaped this blaclfguard's fury
 And comes in court to see if you
 Will do as you'd have others do. These atrocities, tho Albany Law Jour- nal says, resulted in verdict of S575 for his client. His patron was so pleased that he gave him another case, in which he recovered So, 5S3 against the Long Island Railroad company on injuries to wom- ans knee. This case he summed up in rhyme, remarl1ing among other things deserving death;
 The fairest thing on earth to see
 Is lovely woinan's beauteous knee.

PHENOMENAL SLIPPERS.
The Mythical Legends of Early Civilization
 That Are Still Mysteries.

The mythical sleep legends of early civ ilization arc mysteries that have never been explained. Every country and every na- tion on the globo has or had some myth concerning an enchanted sleeper or sleep. CTS. The Roman legend of the ''seven sleepcrs' is perhaps the best known, but its origin can be traced back to tho early days of semihistorical Egypt. In tho early Egyptian version of the myth Osiris the lord of the earth, was outwitted by Typhon, who finally induced the "lord' to enter chest, the lid of which was then nailed down. Hot pitch was next poured into all tho cracks, so as to exclude both air and water, and then thrown into the sea- As soon as Isis, the wifo of Osiris, heard of this she dispatched men in all directions in search of the chest and it's precious bur den. They, after many months, found it on the coast of Babylos It was taken to Egypt and opened, wheroupon Osiris lcaped out alive, having been nliraculously pre-. served during tho whilei in U blssful stun. bcr.
 The Roman legend referred to ir the opening dates trom 439 A D. and Is too well known to warrant its reproduction here.
 In tho Grecisn version the sleeper is AshG WHO aitpt H. lOi iIOTo than 100 years and then awoke bright and youthful, as though awakening from a nap of but a few hours duration.
 In tho Japanese version young fisher man visits the goddess of the sea and re- turns to earth after stay of what was to hin: but three days. At homo he found everything changed and the graves of his parents hundreds of years old. On leav. ing the palace of the sea goddess she had presented him with a casket After visit ing his parents graves he opened the lid of the gift and from it there arose mist which instantly whitened his hair and re- duced his flesh and bones to dust ,
 In Wales the sleeper was Taffy ap Sion; in Denmark he was Ogcr. the Dane; in Scandinavia proper ho y&g Siegfried "he of the enchanted sleePer." Cortez found a similar traditl1M among the early Mexi- cans, who bs}eeycd that their +.palcfnced god, Fcssuicpatl had gone east fer 6ea5 /of deep sleep St. Louis Republic

He is required to assist the solicitor of the crimi- nal court of Jefferson county, and in that capacity has aided in DO small degree in br inging criminals to justice.

Value of Good Cooking.

We masculines have yet to learn that
the kitchen is the most important end of
the household. If that goes wrong, the
whole establishment is wrong. 1t de-
cides the health of the household, and
health settles almost everything. Heavy
bread, too great frequency Of plum pud-
ding, mingling of lemonade and Gus
tards, unmasticable beef, have decided
the fate of sermons, legislative bills and
destiny Of empires. The kitchen knife
has often cut off the brightest prospects.
The kitchen gridiron has often consumed
a commercial enterprise. The kitchen
kettle has kept many good man in hot
water. 1t will never be fully known
how much the history of the world was
affected by good or bad cookery.-Nash
vile Advocate.

No principle of natural philosophy is
more familiar than the power of water
to cxtingui a fire, Aud yet, strange TO
say, water has been known to cause de-
structive fires, not by an accident, but
by direct chemical action. One case Of
the kind was in u large factory. A flood
caused the water to rise to pile of iron
filings, which oXidized SO rapidly that
they developed great heat and set fire
to the nearby woodwork. The building
was entirely destroyed.
Another case is still more remarkable.
Several engines We're throwing water
upon Il burning building, and the water
found its way to another building,
which contained quicklime. The
shaking Of the lime, caused of course
by the contact of the water, generated
intense heat, and the heat set fire to the
building. That was sarcasm of Cir
cumstances, wasn't it?-Philadelphia
Times.
