TRIED by two san Francisco girls IN nm
experiment that failed. I've girls took
pussage, to Honolulu on one Of the mall
steamers and excited the suspicion Of
the Hawaiian customs officxrs by goin:
ashore clad In voluminous boomers.
7 hey were followed to house In Homo
lulu, where the discarded boomers and
s'Aty tins Of struggled opium were
found. The girls were arrested aud
convicted Of smuggling, bun on appeal
to the supreme court the case against
them was dismissed because their guilt
was not proved clearly. The girls re-
turned to San Francisco d few days
ago in the steerage, wearing skirts.
In talking with an American about
the different conditions of women IN
Japan and the United Stateh a Japan

you become one." A man who recent

And his wife? Oh she came after him
like this (dramatizing meek and timid

sails in ahead of him, and he just walks
behind wherever she goes"

against opium-smoking, as it is now, IS
wrong. 1t will allow a Chinaman TO
smoke alone, but IL he is caughtlanok-

arrested. Plenty Of the Americans
hit the pipe. Instead Of refusing the
Chinese admission to the country they
should refuse to let opium come il, and
they would If there was not so much
money in 1t. l would keep it all ont,
and then, If Chinaman wanted to
smoke, let him go back home to DO it,

The Washington Times tells thefol-
lowing story of Justice Gray, of the
United States Supreme Court. He had
gone down into Delaware to hold court
and was met by a deputy marshal.
The fees are not large down in that sec
ton and the deputy marshals are not
the richest men around. So this deputy
met the justice and was ready to walk
ever into the town. Where is your car
u.age?" asked Justice Gray. "Well, Mr..
Justice, you see, our fees are small,
and if l hire carriage / would have
nothing left" You get the carriase,"
said the justice, there is an accountto
which it can be charged. Write to the
marshall in Baltimore and he'll tell vow
what to do" So Justice Gray rode
over to the town and the deputy mar
shal wrote to his superior. Shortly af-
ter the return of Justice Gray to the
city he received letter from the dep
uty marshal saying the carriage bill
was all right. 1.-The marshal tells me"
he wrote, ''to charge it up to the ae-
count of transportation of prisoners"
Four churches on wheels, sent out
and supported by the Baptist Publish
r.g Society, are constantly travelling
over the railroads in the thinly settlel
regions of the west, the pastor m

needs Of the people living in new sd
Elements where there is no church, all

Gifts Of books and the like, and doing

Justice Williams, of the New York
Supreme Court, believes that intelli-
gent men make the best jurors. In af-
fir,ning the judgment of the trial court
in the case OF Police Inspector Me-
I.aughlin, who had been convicted of
txtortion, the judge alluded to the fact
that some Of the jurors were said to
lave formed and expressed opinions
trfore the trial. In regard to this
ground for appeal he said: All intelli-
gent men are accustomed to read the
newspapers and may form more or less
definite opinions or impressions rs to
the matter therein contained and to ex-
press such opinions or impressions to
others. Only the ignorant classes fail
to read the papers from day to day. 1t
is apparent, therefore, that when men
ar, called as jurors to sit in judgment
