Two Pieces of Advice Taken.

1t is told by an Indiana Judge that short
ly after his admission to the bar, many
years ago. he was lettering about a eoun-
Try court house, when presiding judge
suddenly summoned him to appear in
court and appointed him counsel for a pris-
oner about to be tried for stealing horse,
says the Chicago Times-Herald.
But your honor" he demurred, this
is charge that may result in sending the
prisoner to the penitentiary il the case
goes against him, and / do not like to
undertake the responsibility of his de-
Tense"
Nonsense" exclaimed the court; ''the
case is not at all complicated, and 1 am
sure you will handle 1t in a manner which
VIII conserve ~ your clients interests
Il have had no chance, your honor, to
acquaint myself with the facts in this
case, and II the trial must proceed at
once 1 must beg to decline to represent
the defendant" insisted the young attor-
ney.
Your duty in the premises is clear"
continued the court. 81 win allow you
sufficient time to consult with your eli
ent and map out your line of defense. You
may retire with the prisoner into my pri-
vate room for consultation. Thirty min
utes will give you ample time. Go into
that room; have the prisoner state his case
fully to you; imagine yourself in his place,
and advise him to do just what you your
self would do under such circumstances"
And if l do this, will the court hold me
blameless for whatever may result?" ask
ed the attorney.
Certainly. sir" replied the Judge.
The lawyer and his client retired for con-
suitation. At the end of thirty minutes
the former came out of the private room
and said: Your honor, we are now ready
to proceed"
Where is your client?" inquired the
court.
Il do not know, may the court please
replied the counsel
A bailiff ran into the consultation room
window, twelve feet from the ground,
was open, and there were two heel marks
in the soft earth outside.

Small Economies.

Il see that you pay cash for your lunch
es," remarked Tillinghast to Winebiddle,
as the two left the help-yourself dining
rooms, where they regularly took a bite
at noon, says Judge.
Yes" was the reply. ''They won't give
credit. will they?"
Il wasn't thinking of credit, but they
will sell you a ticket for one dollar and
seventy-five centa that will entitle you to
two dollars worth of eatables. That gives
you profit of twenty-five cents on an in
vestment Of one dollar and seVenty-five
cents, which is a very large percentage.
Why don't you buy tickets and save mon
ey?"
"Oh, don't know. suppose it is east
er to pay out twenty or twenty-five cents
than one dollar aud fifty cents
well, that is an eXemplihcation of the
American habit of improVidence. People
who do not save money when they can
never will save any. l was never so much
impressed with the value of small savings
as when l read the other day in a news
paper that the Standard Oil Company
found out that it could save ever so many
thousand dollars a year by putting six
hoops on its oil barrels instead of eight"
ooh, that's nothing. I know a concern
in this town which has an immense bust
ness and vast correspondence. The man
ager figured out one day that Il would
save the firm about five thousand dollars
a year in ink if the clerks were to use fine
pointed pens instead of stubs. So the or
der went forth and stub pens were Danish
ed from the counting room"

why the Year 1860 VIII Not Be Leap
Year.

We have been asked by a number Of cor
respondents if the year 1900 will be leap
year. and if not, why not.
The year 1900 will not be leap year. and
the reason for it is here briefly stated. II
the year were exactly 1854 days long then
every fourth year for all time would be
leap-year, for the introduction of an ex-
ira day every fourth year would exactly
compensate for the fraction of a day omit
ted in the common years. But the exact
length Of the year is not quite 1854 days,
being eleven minutes and fourteen sec
onds less. The exact length of the year
is 365 days, hours. 48 minutes and 1851
seconds. According to the leap year cor
rection. therefore, it will be seen that
these II minutes and II seconds are not
taken into account, so that at the end OF
rs years they amount to a whole day 1t
becomes necessary. therefore, in order to
keep the calendar correct to take this ex-
ira day gained into account. As 1t would
not be convenient to introduce the correc-
ton except at the end of the centuries it
has been arbitrarily agreed upon by as
tronomers to subtract three days every
four hundred years at the end of certain
centuries. as this is nearly equal to one
day in 12S years.
The rule now stands as follows: All
years, whose date-number is divisible by
four without a remainder are leap-years.
unless they are century years, (such as
1900 1900 1900. etc).
The century years are not leap-years
unless their date-number is divisible by
400 without a remainder, in which case
they are leap years. For instance, 1900,
1900, 1900, POO etc, are not leap years;
but 1900 1000. 24OO. etc, are leap years.
1t may be observed however, that even
this correction is not exactly accurate,
since a little more than three days are
gained in four hundred years, but provls-
ions are made by astronomers for sec
ond correction when many thousands of
years are to be considered. The next leap
year will be 1904.

A Labor saving Mnchine.

The man with the labor-saving device
dropped in to see the scientific editor, says
the Philadelphia Record 81 have here"
said he, 'the greatest invention of the
age. 1t not only saves time and prevents
waste of energy. but it also does away
with the necessity of carrying matches"
He drew an ordinary brier pipe from his
pocket, and fitted to it a couple of thin
wires, which ran from the top pocket of
his vest along the stem of the pipe and
up the bowl. At the top of the bowl, Just
over the receptacle for the tobacco, there
was small complicated bunch of wires
and tiny fuse. Having arranged all the
wires in place he filled the bowl with to-
bacco. Now" said he, placing the pipe
in his mouth, Having gotten everything
ready, all have to do is to press the top
button of my vest, and the little battery
in my top vest pocket furnishes a light
at the top of the bowl" He threw back
the lapel of his coat and with an elaborate
flourish, pressed the button. No light APP
peared. He pushed the button again and
again, but without success. Some trivial
trouble" he explained. III fix 1t in

he went out he solicited the office boy
for the loan of a match, with which he
lighted his patented pipe.

Florida Tobacco.

The question as TO whether or not Flor
ida's soil and climate are suitable for the
cultivation Of the finer grades of tobacco
is not Yet definitely determined. Convcn-
tons are being held in different parts Of
the state for the purpose Of assisting in
determining it, The quincy convention.
an account of which appears in our dis
patches this morning, Is certain to help the
people OF the state to determine Il.
There is one thing that is admitted.
namely, that a great deal Of very fine
tobacco IS being grown in Florida. Some
Of the cigar manufacturers Of Tampa are
confident that comparatively few Of those
who use cigars could tell it from Cuban
tobacco when made into cigars. If This
is true Florida tobacco is certain to be
come popular with those who smoke line
cigars.
1t seems 10 US that the chief reason why
so much Florida tobacco has been graded
low is because of the ignorance Of the
proper methods for cultvating and cur
ing it. A certain kind Of soil and eli
mate, together with knowledge of how
to cure It, are absolutely necessary 10
the successful culture of it.
The people of Florida are fast finding
out what things are necessary for the Gull
tivauon Of the finer grades Of tobacco
If they have the soil and climate they
will quickly inform themselves how 10
cultivate and cure it.
great many Cubans have settled in
the state within the last year or two fer
no other purpose than to test the states
adaptability TO tobacco culture. They are
talking hopefully, and even confidently,
of success. If they should succeed in
producing a tobacco that approximates
the Cuban tobacco in quality Florida viii
become a great tobacco-producing state.
Her tobacco crop will be worth more than
her orange crop ever was or is likely to
be worth.
Yesterday we published a report of :he
success in raising tobacco with which a
number of Cubans near Fort Meade are
meeting. They have a large amount of
tobacco that is now undergoing the cur
ing process. 1t will be put on the market
within few months, and if it meets the
demands of the tobacco trade the future
Of Florida, as a tobaeco-producing state,
will be so well assured that the cultiva-
ton of tobacco will become general in
many Of her counties.

Rarney Barnnto,s Cocoa Fortune.

1t is better to be born lucky than rich,

a man with a peanut and fruit stall, and
asked him what he'd take for IT, two
hundred pounds" was the reply. Done
with you" said Barnato. We'll, where's
the money! asked the man, as Barnato
was proceeding to appropriate the stall.

in an hour Barnato had sold the contents
of the stall for 1000 He paid the man his
goo. staked the balance on the races and
won $4,000 before the end of the day.
Perhaps 1t Is not generally known how
Mr. Barnato came to be married The be-

been due to the prudent purchase of dia-
