Toledo, Jan. %. Under judicial pressure
the representatives of the telegraph COM
panies today produced in court in the Ar
buckle w oolson litigation the messages
bearing ON the sale of the Woolson Spice
Company's stock Several of these seemed
to bear out the contention of the plain
tiffs, Kuhn and Arbuckle, that the directors
of the Woolson Company knew they were
yielding to the American Sugar Refining
Company and MOTTO Mr.. Havemeyer and his
associates personally.
Graft M. Acklin, one of the stockholders
who sold out, testified that he had been
approached by Director James Secor. of
the Woolson Company, who, he said, made
it plain that the stock was to pass into the
hands of the sugar trust to enable the lat
ctr to fight the Arbuckles.

''If the short speech made this morning
has been construed by anyone to mean
thatI viii support the Republicans in their
proposed tariff Legislation, such conclu-
sion is erroneous, said Senator Allen,
of Nebraska. Il have said that | believed

pass them, after reasonable debate.

Dun & Company will say today in theil

Dun Company will say today in their
weekly review OF trade:
January has been a month of disappoint-
ment, but of real gain. Nearly everybody
had promised himself a land of milk and
honey after New Years, and the slow
progress looks like standing still to men
in such state of mind. Moreover there
are multitudes throughout the country
who have been taking large ventures in
advance of or apart from their regular
business, because they expected a rise in
prices. But prices fail as yet to bring
them profit. Merchandise exports from
New York in January have been about
per cent larger than last year, and i'm
ports 10 per cent smaller than last year,
when the excess OF exports was over
$4,000, 900, while cotton exports from
other ports have also been larger. The
month has not diminished, but has in
creased the urrent balance due this
country.

Where Golf Resembles War.

"a grand joke developed itself not
long ago." says a Monte Video CORE
spondent. "A native paper published
alarming paragraphs to the effect that
the British war vessels were making
soundings and taking surveys and effect
ing other highly suspicious operations
near Maldonado and that they had land.
ed an armed force with instruments and
terrible unknown engines.
1.-THE government was warned to pre-.
pare for an invasion or at the very least
a second Trinidad affair. These revela.
tions were apparently confirmed by q
telegram from a newspaper correspond.
ent in Maldonado, who said that he
himself had seen those dreadful Eng.
lish' at their tricks.
Before such a denunciation the au
thorities could not remain silent, anG
accordingly an official telegram wa!
sent to the captain of the port at Nal
donado for information. His reply wa!
to the following effect:
1T is not true that the English have
been making plans of the port or meas
uring lands at Punta del Este. Wha
they have done is to mark out a course
for an English game that they played
here before and which is called golf. -

Reversing Nature.

The reversibility of the physical proc
esses Of nature has latterly been the
subject of interesting comment. Lord
Kelvin, for example, has been credited
with saying that all Of them, no matter
how complex they might appear to the
human senses, consist in reality of the
motions of invisible molecules, and if,
therefore, by some means, all these
molecules could, at the same time, be
made to move in exactly the opposite di-
rection, and each with the same velocity
that it possessed at the moment, all the
world would begin and continue to move
backward; waterfalls would flow up the
sides of cliffs, rivers would run upward
from the sea, rain would rise, full blown
flowers would shrink into buds and
plants dwindle into seedlings, man him
self would become young again, passing
from old age to infancy. Just what kind
of pictures such a topsyturvy world
would present may be seen with kinet-
oscope running backward. Professor
Queroult, according to report, has made
observations in this line, and some time
ago communicated them to the French
Academy Of Science.-Cassier's Maya

Life In Olden England.

In his youth Augustus J. G. Hare
lived with his adopted parents at rec
tory in Shropshire, and of the life there
he gives some picturesque details in the
story of his life:
When there was "a wash" at Stoke,
which was about every three weeks, it
was rule with granny that, summer
or winter, it must always begin at a.
m. At that hour old Hannah Berry used
to arrive from the village, the coppers
were heated and the maids at work.
The ladies' maids, who were expected to
do all the fine muslins, ETC.. themselves,
had also always to be at the washtubs
at 3 a. m.-by candlelight. If any one
was late, the housekeeper reported to
Mrs. LEICESTER, who was soon down
upon them pretty sharply. Generally,
however, her real practical kindness and
generosity prevented any one rainding
Mrs Leycester's severity. 1t was looked
upon as only cher way" for people
were not so tender in those days as they
are now, and certainly no servants would
have thought of giving up place which
was essentially good one because they
We're little roughly handled by their
mistress. In those days servants were as
liable to personal chastisement as the
children of the house and would as little
thought Of resenting it. "You don't
suppose I'm going to hurt my hand box
ing your ears" said granny when about
to chastise the school children she was
teaching, and she would take up book
from the table and use it soundly, and
then say. ''Now we mustn't let the 9TH
err ear be jealous" and turn the child
round and lay on again ON the other
side. Granny constantly boxed he1
housemaids' ears, and, alas, when he
grew very old, she used to box dear
grandpapa's, though she loved him dear.
