She SwOre 200 Times.

A woman in Germany the otner day
had TO be sworn ], 200 times in a sui,
in which her deceased husbands estate
was involved. The husband had been
a lumber dealer and during his long
business career certain cabinet-maker
had kept a running account with him.
Their business relations We're so COM
plicated at the time of the merchants s
death that there was a difference of
opinion between the executors and the
cabinet-maker as to the amount the
latter owed the estate
The matter was brought into the
courts and at the trial the reading of
the defendants affidavit consumed
twelve hours.
Then the widow was cited before the
magistrates, and during her testimony
SO foreign paper says, was obliged to
make oath twelve hundred times, once
for each of the twelve hundred litigious
points involved in the suit. This took
three whole sittings of the tribunal, but
she won the uit.-Philadelphia Record.

APPOINTMENTS TO ANNAPOLIS.
The Present Method of Selection is
Ridiculous

l cannot but feel that while nothing
too much has been done for the i'm
proveanent Of the material condition of
the navy, too little attention has been
given to what, after all, must be the
main arm of attack, the main bulwark
of defense. 1t hardly needs to be added
that the reference here is to the char
acter of the officers. Ships, arnor-
plate, artillery, are not merely import
ant, they are absolutely essential; but
other things being equal, it is the men
behind them who viii! decide whether
victory or defeat lie in the scales. For
the securing of these men for the navy
and the statement is equally true OF the
army-the country not only employs the
clumsieSt method conceivable, but also
hedges it about with such restrictions
as to make it even worse in practice
than it is in theory.
The appOrtionment system, when per-
verted to purposes for which it is not
fitted, is bad enough ir any case, but its
most baneful results are seen in the
method of manning the army and navy
The present practice is based upon the
apparent belief that the military and
naval talent Of the country exists in the
ratio of one man to a Congressional Dis
trlct. Purporting to be democratic, IT
IS essentially the opposite. 1t is obvious
that the only sensible and fair way is
to offer the advantages of both institu-
trons to everyone, regardless of his
birth or birthplace, who is desirous OF
availing himself of them. The number
accepted can be restricted to any extent
thought desirable though there can be
little question that as it is now, 1t
should be sensibly enlarged. With this
limitation the choice can be confined TO
those who are best fitted or who display
most promise. If these exhibit on trial
the capacity to hold the positions they
have secured, let them keep them,
whether they all come from Maine or
Kansas or California. AS a matter of
fact, the experience of our colleges show
that at no time would there be any es-
Sential difference in the repreSen ia ton
CT different parts of the country. Even
were this SO, the nation would be GER
tain of obtaining the services of the
very persons who have a natural taste
or aptitude for the naval or the military
profession. No country but one under
the domination of the repreSe Senta tive
system run mad would tolerate such {.
method as prevails with us of selecting
officers for its army and navy.-Profes-
sor I. R. Lounsbury, in Harper's Maga-
zine.

Fell Into the Trap.

At the last New Years fair in Paris
one of the STALL holders who, despite the
good weather and the multitude of
passers-by, had done very little busi-
ness, had recourse to an original meth
cd Of clearing out his stock While de-
livering his usual speech on the excel
lence of his fifty centime articles, a
gentleman, in a state of great excite
ment, pushed his way through the
crowd and exclaimed:
There you are, you rascal, No Won
der you can sell these things at ten sous
when you still owe me franc and a
half apiece for them. But the matter
shall be looked into. 1 am going straight
to fetch the police
The excited gentleman disappeared.
Our salesman trembled in his shoes
and entreated the bystanders to relieve
him of his wares. This they were ready
enough to do in the belief that they were
about to get all sorts Of nice bargains at
a third of their real value. And the trick
was done, for the pretended wholesale
merchant was merely an accomplice of
the cheap-j Temps.
