Why She Wanted a Continuance.

An old lawyer once told about a case
he had, but which he didn't keep.
An old IriShwOman sent for him in
great haste one day. She wanted him
to meet her in the criminal court. He
fastened to the court house all out Of
breath. The woman's son was about to
he placed on trial for burglary. When
the lawyer entered the court room the
old woman rushed up to him and in an
excited voice said:
''Mr b, Oh want We to git con-
tinyance for me by Jimmie"
every we'll, madam" replied the law
yer. Il will do so if l can, but it will
be necessary to present to the court
some grounds for continuance. What
shall l say?"
"Shure, We can jlst tell the court OF
want a continuance till OF can get a
better lawyer to try the case"
The lawyer nearly tainted when he
heard this, and after telling the woman
that she would have to get another law
yer to get the continuance he hurried
back to his office very angry man.

THE Annie as a Timber Tree.

In some sections of this country the
ample tree is looked on for its product
as piece of timber, as well Gs fruit
producing article. For this reason the
old German fruit growers in the vlcin-
ity of Philadelphia, always aimed to
get a nice straight trunk to an apple
tree and train it up comparatively high
before allowing it to form head. Mod
ems have supposed that the chief OBJ
iect to be gained by this method OF
training was in order to facilitate
blowing operations, but the ultimate
end in having a good trunk for timber
purposes was not forgotten. In this
particular region, the wood was used
chiefly for shOemakers' lasts-a bust
ness which, in the earlier history OF
Philadelphia, did much to help the
trade Of that famous manufacturing
center of population. The apple re-
gions have mostly disappeared from
that vicinity; but other sections Of the
country seem to understand the value
of apple tree wood. 1t is stated In the
Country Gentleman that fruit grower
of Cayuga sold to a well-known firm OF
sawmakers of Philadelphia-Disston
& Sons-the trunks Of some Of their
trees, which were cut away because
the trees had grown too closely to-
gether, to the value Of $780, In this
case, the wood was Of course used for
the handle of saws.-Meehan'S

EaaNer Et6nmshins.-

Now comes the threat that we are 60.
ing to have q steamboat that will cross
the ocean in three days. Gracious; are
we not getting across fast enough now?
The rush will soon be to go by the slow
steamers. It's the ocean voyage that
SO many people like; and, then, think
Of It, only three days sail from New
York to Southampton. If they would
stop there it would be all right but,
then, turn it around, it Is only three
days from Southampton to New York.
1t isn't the people who go over there
that worry me- but 1t Is the class Of peo-
pie that are being sent back to us; not
the people who come of their own ac-
cord, but the ones that the various gov
ernments are anxious to be rid Of.
Think of dumping them here every
three days. Wish the good Lord l
could make it thirty days, or three
years. Our great extent of unoccupied
territory is our danger. England only
a few hours across the channel from
Europe, yet the cOntinentals have never
been able to make much impression on
her. The agricultural portions of Eng
land have always been held by Eng
lish hands, and, somehow or other, the
continentals have never been able to get
a foothold there. But with us-in ter
ritory we have so many Englands-
there's certain to be room for all, and
England, together with the rest of Eu-
rope. sends her surplus here.-Boston

Silent Twenty Years in a Coffin.

It is seldom that a man dies in a
coffin. but that is exactly what old Bar
ney Frickers, of Alliance, Ohio, did
when he finally gave up the ghost In
the fall of 1890 For more than twenty
years "Old Barney" had been haunted
with the idea that he was on the verge
of the grave. Every evening he de-
clared that he would never again see
the sun rise. He constantly brooded
over his queer hallucinatiOn, and never
allowed himself to go to sleep without
being carefully prepared for death and
burial. Every night he rObed himself
in his grave clothes and sOlemnly laid
down in his coffin and passed the night
firmly believing and probably hoping
that for him the day would never dawn
again. Finally death came, but, grim
and sly as he was, he did not find "Old
Barney" unprepared. The coffin In
which this queer old character had so
often awakened disappointed was of
his own make, and was said to have
been a curiosity in itself, being liter
ally covered with all kinds, patterns
and sizes Of allegOrical paintings.

A NEW LEASE OF LIFE.
IN GOOD HEALTH AT SEVENTY

Miss Cornwal.'s Wonderful Recovery of

THE BICYCLE.
IT'D Progress in Civilized Countries
Is Simply Marvellous.

Is Simply MARVELLOUS
( The progress which the bicycle has
made and Is making In the leading
civilized countries of the world is SIM
ply marvellous. In fact, in every land
where civilization is at it's height the
two-wheeled system Of self-propelled
locomotion is considered an established
Institution, says the St Louis Repub-
lie. In America alone more than 1,OOO,-
900 men, women and children are own
ers of their wheels, while another half
million Of the population well under
stand the art Of riding the delusive
"bike." During the year 1894 upwards
of 100000 bicycles were made and sold
In this country, and the estimate for
1895, made by conservative men, Is
100000. Is it any wonder that the liv-
eryman sees only a dark future for his
business, and that the industry OF
horSe-racing is anxious?
In Europe the bicycle craze is even
more virulent than it is in America. In
London and Paris thousands of infat-
uated wheelers plunge madly about
the streets from dark until and
o'clock in the morning. Great Britain
has 100000 cyclists, and a capital of
f75,000,000 invested in the production
of bicycles and tricycles, and the factor
les in which such machines are manu-
featured give daily employment to A.
600 men. I
The census returns of France enumer-
ate 161 ,271 cycles which are used solely
for pleasure. Those used by tradesmen
in any of their business transactions
are not taxed. On that account the
above figures fail to convey any thing
like an accurate idea of the number of
wheels owned in that country.
In Belgium Holland, Germany, Aus
tria and Italy the bicycle iE fast super
seding all other means of lOcomotion,
especially where pleasure and health
are the objects sought. In short, the
bicycle has, within a very few years,
become a very necessary adjunct to
modern civilization.

way to cure deafness, and that is 10y constitu-
