The Justice n Prisoner.

The Washington Times tells the fol-
lowing story of Justice Gray, Of the
United States supreme court. He had
gone down into Delaware to hold court
and was met by deputy marshal. The
fees are not large down in that section
and the deputy marshals are not tho
richest men around So this deputy
met the justice and was ready to walk
over into the town. "Where Is your
carriagei" asked Justice Gray. "Weil.
Mr.. Justice, you see our fees are sma
and If hired a carriage wouldh
nothing left. "You get the carria
said the justice, "lhere is an accou
which 1t can be charged. Write {
marshall In Baltimore and he'll on
what to do" So Justice Gray ode
over to the town and the deputy mar
shall wrote to his superior. Shortly
after the return of Justice Gray to the
city he received Letter from the deputy
marehall saying the carriage bill was
all right. "The marshall tells me-" he
wrote, "to charge it up to the account
of transportation of prisoners"

Japanese were going to get strong

States the chief outlet for their pro-
ducts
The tea that we used to get from ia

America wanted more for their money,
and American shippers in Japan have
lowered the cost. They had to take
poor tea, weight it with gypsum or
stonepowder, color il with Prussian Blue
"to beautify it"-which makes poor tea
even worse.
In this way immense profits have been
made at the expense of the American
public, and likewise at the expense of
the Japanese producer, whose interest it
is to have the best tea consumed, be.

more. Good tea increases the consump.

Mrs. E. Lynn Linton, the novelist,
tells how George Henry Lewes once
characterized Thackeray and Dickens
in the way of service to friend.
Dickens, he said, would not give you a
farthing of mOney, but he would take
no end of trouble for you. He would
spend whole day, for instance, in
looking for the most suitable lodgings
for you, and would spare himself neither
time nor fatigue. Thackeray would
take two houls' grumbling, indecision
and hesitation in writing two-line tes-
timonial, but he would put his hand into
his pocket and give you handful OF
gold and hank notes If you wanted

A Chicago msn is the inventor of a
process for the storing and preserving
Of grain much in the fashion that OBJ
tanned among the people of Egypt in
the time of Rameses, and many a
century later, in Italy, when Herculan-
cum and Pompeii were leading markets
in the grain trade.
The process is very simple one, and
comprises series of air-tight cylinders,
filled with grain, charged with sterilized
air and Theoretically sealed. In the sum
mer of 1893 some corn was taken that had
been inspected and graded as No. 4, and
subjected to treatment in the air-tight cyl.
inders. The grain was kept two years,
and was unsealed in the spring of 1896.
Some of the grains Of corn-which had
been pronounced unfit for use of any
kind in 18o3-were planted, and in due
time grew and crop was harvested
The steel cylinders will keep both corn
and wheat, exclude the air, which acts
as conductor of contagious among
grain, preserves all the good qualities by
the presence of sterilized air, and main
tain Its grade-or improve Through
any number of years.-Detroit Free

lower every year as the machines are
made lighter. In high pressure guns the
"factor of safety" is often as great as
twenty, which means that the guns are
made twenty times as strong as theo-

six, in bridges 1t is usually five, and in
