The present custom which permits

pay him for his testimony is calculated
to produce anything but expert testi-
mony unless the term expert applies to
manipulation Of facts to suit his clients

justice if each side were allowed to re-

ly calculated to defeat instead Of aid
the ends Of Justice that it is difficult to
see how it ever originated. The mere
fact that witness is employed and
paid by the defendant or plaintiff un-
consciously enrolls him on that side,
and there are few experts whose testi-
mony is not modified by such an ar.
rangement. This custom has led so Of.
ten to fat contradiction regarding
facts between opposing authorities that
the general public has lost confidence in
sucF testimony. This is, Of course, very
unft ,ytunate, as it is beyond question
that man who has devoted his life to

posi- ion to judge Of the probabilities n

Ingenious Peruvian Pottcries.

A long, slim neck is distinguishing
feature of much Of the Peruvian pot
terry, and nearly every vessel is orna-
mented with q figure Of some sort, hav-
ing holes to represent eyes and other
openings. These afford passage for tile
air forced out by the liquid when pour
ed into the vessel. By al ingenious con-
trivance the air in escaping produces a
sound similar to the cry of the creature
represented. Thus utensil decorated
with two monkeys embracing each 9TH
er, on having water poured into or from
it, would give sound like the screech-
ing Of those animals. One decorated
with bird would emit birdlike notes,
while mountain cat on one jar would
new; snakes coilod around another
would hiss. The most curious that we
have seen was the figure Of an aged
woman. When the ja1 was in use, her
sobs became audible, aud tears trickled
down her cheeks. The manufacturers
seemed to have known all about atmos-
pheric pressure. DR.. LIE Plongeon had
in his own collection piece that dem
onstrated this. 1t represented a dou-
bic headed bird. The vessel had to be
filled through hole in the bottom, and
yet in turning it over not drop would
spill, but the liquid would readily flow
out when the jar was simply inclined.

uns Cancer Its Special a1Iorobe?

A highly interesting discovery, which
will perhaps afford a clew to the cause
Of cancer, has been made in Professor
yon Leyden's 8 university hospital here.
A young woman OF 20 and man of 63,
both suffering from dropsy aud cancer
of the stomach, were brought to the
hospital last spring. In order to remove
the accumulated fluid, tapping was re-
sorted 10 in both cases. The fluid waa
examined under the microscope, and
hitherto unknown living organisms. be-.
longing probably to the I.otozoa, were
discovered.
Professor Waldeyer, to whom the
preparations were Submitted, advised
that they should be sent to DR.. Schau-
dim, assistant at the Geological insti.
tute OF the Berlin university, who has
been investigating the prctozoa for years
past. He begun his examination on July
70, and uscertained that IL both cases
the fluid contained rhizopod, which
he named Leydenia gemmlpara schau-

How unclo Sam Got Ills Namo.

The nickname Uncle Sam, as ap.
piled to the United States government,
is said to have originated as follows:
Samuel Wilson, commonly called Un.
Gle Sam, was q government inspector
of beef and pork at Troy, IN. Y, about
1912. A contractor, Elbert Anderson,
purchased quantity of provisions, and
the barrels were marked "E. A." An
derson's initials, and ~. ST." for
United States. The latter initials were
not familiar to Wilson 8 workmen, who
inquired what they meant. A tacetlous
fellow answered, II don't know, unless
they mean Uncle Sam. I" A vast
amount of property afterward passed
through Wilson's hands marked III the
same manner, and he was often joked
upon the extent of his possessions. The
joke spread through all the departments
of the government, and before long the
United States was popularity referred to

That Mans Chief End Is to Cruelty Spon-

The Rev. Charles Il. Parkhurst writes
of ':The Young Man at Play" i'll The
Ladies Home Journal. He asserts that
lit is play rather than toll that is most
germane to our true nature and that
lies closest to the divine intention. Tie
care needing to be exercised as to tic
quality of our amusemenls must never
be construed into verdict against
amusements in themselves considered.
With most of US the play impulse stands
far more in need of encouragement than
it uces of restriction. The proverb, 1t
is better to wear ont than to rust out
is true in form, but false IN spirit The
flowers do not wear out, but neither do
they rust out.
Zone reason why so many people are
asking whether life is worth living is
that we are teaching ourselves that

Three Lives.
Here is story which is too much to
the credit of two ladies and a gentle
man to be wholly suppressed. They are
all strong swimmers and can battle
with the waves in valiant fashion.
They chanced to be in the sea at one
time and on shore where the under
tow is irresistible O short distance out.
The man suddenly felt himself in that
strong, terrible, outward pull Of the wa
ters of the mighty deep. He understood
Immediately that he and his oompan-
ions would shortly be no more unless
by tremendous, instant, individual exer-
tion they pulled for the shore In that
treacherous current not one could help
another. How to get "these girls'
ashure without terrifying them and put
ting them in still greater danger
through their fears was the problem Of
that terrible moment.
The man solved it like hero. He
made sign, sound Of personal dis
tress and began swimming inshore.
His companions in the waves heard and
saw his white face. Both believed, as
be meant them to, that he was threat
ened with cramps and swan inshore,
too, calling out cheerful. encouraging
words to him as they pulled for the
shore, assuring him that he would soon
be all right; that they could get him in
safely if he really should give out, and
other words to that effect. It was not
long before this man Of mortal courage
stood upon the beach in safety, and
those he had thus rescued from death
stood on either side Of him and heard
what it would have meant for them all
