The Judges Little Joke.

Judge Gary has dry wit with him
that is occasionally the cause of his
grim courtroom being pervaded by a
very audible tittering. The other day
one of the attorneys was airing his
Indignation. He had been robbed.
Yes, sir, robbed. 1t was shameful the
way things went right there under the
eyes of the law.
Finally Judge Gary noticed the FUN
ing and fretting one.
Whats the matter now?" he asked.
"Matter? It's COMPOUNDED outrage.
Had my overcoat stolen right from this
ROOM"
The judge smiled little.
"Overcoat, eh?" he said. "Pah,
that's nothing. Whole suits are lost
here every day."-Green Bay.

 A good way to solve the problem of how to take care of our dress waists in these days of large sleeves that arc so easily crushed is to screw several of the frames on which mems coats arc hung into the ceiling of a wardrobe or on the lower surface of closet shelf and hang the garments on them.

The shakers Are a Happy Community

It is said, but the shake who shakes because he can't help it is by no means a happy individual. So shakes the person troubled with chills and fever.

man who had subscribed to the plate
 that was to be presented to the guest of the evening was given place at the end of one of the subsidiary tables, and others were given seats near each other who had expressed preference. Mir. Welcome gave minute attention to these details, and, the first thing on the morning of the night of the dinner. he
 took his completed plan of the tables and seats to n printer in order to have the usual diagrams ready for the guid- nncc of the diners in taking their places.
 When the hour of S30, which had been fixed for dinner, had arrived, the zoo hundred guests were assembled in the reception-room. Stanley was there, and so was Consul General John C. New, who was to preside, and so were some of the most distinguished men in England. Dut there was no diagrams of the dining-room, and the reception committe were anxiously waiting for Mr. Welcome to arrive with them. At S:35 o'clock Mir. Welcome flew in, in his business clothes, with smudge of printers ink on his nose and more on his hands. He agonizinly informed the reception committee that the printers had pied the type or the diagrams of the tables at the last moment, and that they would be compelled to do without them.
 IL may seem an easy matter for 300 men to find their places at tables, when their names are at their plates, but it ] brought about so much confusion that everybody was turned from the dining room back to the reception-room and brilliant scheme was suggested. There was the original list of the names of the timers, with their respective places, that Mir Welcome had rescued from the printer, in the possession of the re- ception committee. The toastmaster was stationed on chair at the door of | the dining-room and instructed to read | the list of names, each man to pass out and take his place at the table when | bIs name was called. The toastmaster | was a fine. big Englishman, with a | Stentorian voice. He did as he was told. | "New-Consul General John c." he shouted, and Mir. New went through the door. "Stanley-Henry M.," bel lowed the toastmaster next. There was roar of laughter and that scheme for seating the guests was dropped. Finally everybody went in again and searched for his place and found it or otherwise, as best he might. Several of the guests designed for the principal table were rescued from inferior posi- tions below, and some ambitious ones were degraded from the table of rank; but the dinner went on merrily and ended similarly, though itbegan an hour later than the time it had been set for, and all because of the accident to the diagrams.-N.

An ishman'a IirIlliant Idea.

Some iTishmen are naturally stupid, but their mistakes at times are so hu- morous as to provoke laugh, which makes one forget the more serious part of the error. Recently son of Ireland went out rowing on the lake at fa- nous summer resort. A stiff northwest wind came up, and, not being skillful with the oars, in a short time his boat shipped considerable water. A brilliant idea then seized him, and, taking the butt end of the oar, he battered away at the blanks in the bottom of the boat, finally knocking a hole in them. For tunately for him steam launch with q pleasure party aboard came along and rescued him as his boat sank. Upon be- ing asked why on earth he drove hole through the boat he replied: An phwat else would yez do? Sure the boat was half full of water, an so Il knocked a hole in the bottom to let itI out; but, yez see, there was so much more water in the lake that the little bit of a stream in my boat had no chance to get out."-Harpcr's Round Tahle

PHOSPHATE MINING.
The Large Industry That Has
 Sprung Up in Florida.
Ne~ City Has Been Created by the Growing Business in the Peninsula state Marketing of the
 Material

The Florida phosphate deposits are of great importance, yet their exist cnce was discovered so recently, and their extent is still so uncertain that few persons not engaged in the sale of fertilizing materials have much knowledge of the large industry which has sprung up in the peninsular state. It has practically created new city, Ocata, which had population of but n few hundred in 1870, but is now a thrieing businfss center with modern improvements, banking facilities and ample railway and transportation ia cilities. Engineering, the leading en- gineering journal, makes the following statements concerning the region, coming from an unbiased source: There is no phosphate region in the world known to-day that possesses so many advantages for successful min ing as the Florida deposits. The grade of material is the highest average that is being worked anywhere. The facil- ities for moving the products to points for distribution are good. The aver age distance from mines to ports for shipment is about 150 miles. The dis tributing stations for the hard rock districts are Port Tampa, Fernandina, Brunswick and Savannah, the largest tonnage being moved from Fernan- dina, where storage bins are located and loading facilities are good. Port Tampa, the terminus of the Plant sys- fem of railroads, is constantly adding facilities for prompt handling of car goes of phosphate, and at present very nearly equals Fernandina in the amount of its shipments. Railroads are numerous and cheaply constructed when necessary to extend them into new sections. The machinery needed to mine and prepare the material is simple and inexpensive compared with that generally used in other mining operations, and the cost of a plant with sufficient land to work upon is within the reach of small investors. The working days at the mines are about 2S0 during the year. The climate is healthful, laborers readily obtained at fair compensation and skilled oper- atives are at hand who are becoming familiar with the. business. The min ing camps are generally we'll regulated, and proprietors and employees can re- side at the mines with safety and with little Inconvenience, as supplies of all kinds can be readily obtained at the towns located in the near vicinity of all the large mining fields. Telegraph and mail facilities are within easy ac- cess of nearly every mining camp in the state. Florida phosphates are mostly shipped to European ports, and are manufactured into fertilizers in England, Ireland, Germany France, and quite recently shipments have been made to the Sandwich islands. Foreign agents of consumers and dealers in pbosphates have their offices near the center of production, and contracts for delivery and prices are commonly fixed at points of shipment, the material being sold at price per unit of it's contents of phosphate of lime. The Florida phosphates are all used in the manufacture of commercial fertilizers and superphosphate. ."-Bos- ton Transcript.

One Way of Finding a Scotsman.

It is related of q successful Glasgow merchant that, sight seeing in Paris once, he lost his way. For considera- ble time he wandered about trying to get back to his hotel. The hours went by. He never could speak French, and his Glasgow English only brought smile and shake of the head. "Oh for Il body wi guid Scotch tongue in his head!" he sighed. Then came happy thought. By signs he bought basket, measure and berries of trim French woman, and, shouldering his. stock, went along the street shouting: Zine grossets, a bawbee the pine; fine gros- sets, a bawbec the pinc." The crowd laughed at the mad Briton, but the fa- miliar cry soon brought some Scotsmen on the scene, and the merchant was able to retire from business and smoke his pipe in the bosom of his family, thankful that he had found real Scots- men in his hour of need.-Tit-Bits.
