hand, II thought before 1 heard your
plea that the man was guilty, but really,
sir, you swept away all the prejudice
l had formed against him. You pre-
sented things so clearly that there was
nothing for the jury but to acquit him,
and nun glad that he is free"
THANK YOU" said the lawyer, ac-
cording to the Cleveland Leader, 81 am
glad you admire my handling of the
case"
1T was admirable, sir, admirable.
And am so glad that he was innocent,

or your friends ever get caught In any
crooked work, give me a call, and I'll
promise to make you just as innocent
as the man who was acquitted a few
minutes ago. Here is my card. Good
day, sir"
For a long time the citizen stood
there, apparently in deep study. At
last he shifted his weight from one foot
to the other, and said to himself:
well, by gum, guess know now
why justice is blind, It's because them
blamed lawyers throw so much dust
in her eyes"

IVORY USED BY THE ANcIENTs,


Relies Show Tint the Prehistoric
Races Knew Its Value.
The earliest recorded history-we
might say prehistoric, the hieroglyph-
ical--that has come down to us has
been in carvings on ivory and bone,
says Appletons' Popular Science Month
ly. Long before metallurgy was known
among the prehistoric races, carvings
on reindeer horns and mammoth tusks
evidence the antiquity of the art. Frag-
ments of horn and ivory, engraved with
excellent pictures Of animals, have been
found In caves and beds of rivers and
lakes. There are specimens In the
British museum, also in the Louvre, of
the Egyptian skill in ivory carving, ut
tributed to the age of Moses. In the
latter collection are chairs or seats Of
the sixteenth century B, c., inlaid with
ivory, and other pieces of the eleventh
century, B. C. We have already re-
ferred to the Nineveh worries. Carving
of the precious substance" was extern
sively carried on at Constantinople dur
ing the middle ages; combs, Baskets,
horns, boxes, ETC., of carved ivory and
bone, often set in precious stones, Of
the old Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods
are frequently found in tombs. Cruel
fixes and images of the Virgin and
saints made in that age are often grace
full and beautiful. The Chinese and
Japanese are rival artists now in their
peculiar minutiae and detail.

through the streets of that city white
feather fell from the plume Of his he'll
met and was picked up by tho peasant
Toukianow, who is in the service OF N.

later upon receiving from this official,
in the name Of his Siamese majesty, a
casket containing portrait OF the king
and a massive gold chain decorated
with token OF the same metal bearing
the arms Of Siam in enamel. Touloia-

SINGING AMONG THE GREEKS.
Tho Ancient Greeks Sang BlItheIy
and Were Carefully Instructed.

Tho Ancient Greeks Sang BlIthely
and Were Carefully Instructed.
Our present system of public instruc-
ton is not so modern as some would
have us believe. Sparta had her state
superintendent, who, II distant report
is to be trusted, was an educational
despot. But, while he welded his walk
ing stick freely during official visits,
and encouraged his subordinates to ply
the rod on all occasions, he was as
diligent a promoter of music as is any
humane and progressive educator Of
our era. AS a result, the little Lace
daemonians sang blithely, no matter
what torment was going on under
their tunics. And oil over Greece, in
those dim days, were schools, ranging
from infant grades instructed under
Arcadion hedges to the university-ex-
tension schemes harbored in buildings
uniquely termed "places of leisure.P
The infants were drilled in their alpha
beta-gammas; the older boys were
taught poetry and gymnastics, with
something of arithmetic, geometry and
drawing; and adults spent their leisure
with rhetoriticians and sophists, pay
ing handsomely for the privilege. But
music was sine qua non of Grecian
life, in school and in sport, in battle
and in burial. The epic and elegac
chantings at festivals, the calm specula-
tions of Pythagoras as to the music
of the spheres, the choral outburst Of
"the great fifth century" the material
odes Of Tyrtaeus and Pindar, all show
the national love for melody of voice
as we'll as for high and harmonious
thought. An old-time Greek set down
amid the strident, metallic voices of
our occidental world would feel that
the Furies had seized either upon him
or the continent he was visiting.

Metallic Cheese.

1t has been q common theme Of con.
graduation by not few writer's and
philanthropists, says the London
Lancet, that the days are over when
people were poisoned by the indiscrim-
mate practices of the adulteror, and
that now they are only cheated. What
will be said, then, Of the announcement
that both the salts of zinc and lead are
used in the preparation of cheeseP
"Cheese spice" is the delectable name of
crystallized sulphate of zinc, which, ac-
cording to Mr.. Allen, the public analyst
of Sheffield, is used to prevent the heav-
ing and cracking of cheese. Worse still,
Mr.. Stoddart, another public analyst,
has described sample of Canadian
cheese in which he found metallic lead,
and it is probable that the highly poi
senous acetate of lead was employed
for the same purpose as the sulphate of
zinc.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
IL the ''PFiceIeSs Boon" of Every Citi
Ken of America.


IL the ''H'riceleSs Boon" of Every Citi-
zen OF America.
Gladstone as n private citizen is at
liberty to say much which 1t would have
been indiscreet and utterly wrong for
him TO say MS premier when he repre-
Gented a great nation, says the Illus
trated American. Any man in posi-
ton Of delegated responsibility repre-
scnts not only himself, but those who
have intrusted their interests to him.
A private tutor is amenable to child's
parents for what he teaches, though
before he was hired he had right to
teach that child what he pleased If he
had opportunity. The college presi-
dent, while larger independence Is
given him, is nevertheless the teacher
hired by the parents, and they have al
ways the right, collectively, TO put re-
straints upon his utterances. Freedom
OF speech is the priceless boon" Of
every citizen Of America, but when a
citizen enters into contract with other
citizens to do a certain amount of speak
ing by way Of instruction, he volun-
turily consents to the possibility Of re-
stralnt. There is nothing to quarrel
over in this. No man need forego his
freedom of speech if he does not wish
80. But IL he takes another mans
money for his speech, the employer has
an uhdoubted right to indicate when
Ahe contract shall end, and without
prejudice to the American doctrine.

SOME CAUSES FoR DROWNING.

Painting and Swallowing water
Frequently Responsible for Death.
When a good swimmer, as so often
happens, dives into deep water and Is
never seen again, his death is always
ascribed to Cramps" says the London
Mail. This view is, however, no longer
accepted by careful observers. Cramp
is frequent cause, no doubt, but by
no means the only one, Syncope, or
fainting, for instance, is answerable
for many deaths. Many people who
have been splendid swimmers, but who
have taken no violent exercise for year
or two, plunge in after fatiguingwall,
and their heart simply fails to come up
to the scratch; they faint and down
they go. 1t should never be forgotten
that the GOODNESS of the water throws
an immense sudden strain upon the
heart, and that, if there is anything like
flaw in that organ, it is pretty sure to
break down. Another cause of large
number of drowning accidents is the
entrance of water spray into the lungs.
You are swimming in choppy sea
against the wind. Suddenly wave
breaks in your face, and the wind blows
the spray down your throat. The re-
suit is terrible convulsive effort of the
lungs to eject the water, and instant
inconsistencies. You go down, and
people ascribe your loss to the one and
only 'cramp."

Lightest of KNOWN solids.

The lightest known solid is said to be
the pith of the sunfower, with spe-
cifc gravity of 2s-1OOths, or about
one-eighth that of cork. The sun
flower is extensively cultivated in
central Russia, and various uses are
served by it's different parts, the recent
discovery of the lightness Of the pith
essentially increasing the commercial
value of the plant. For lifesaving
appliances at sea cork has u buoyancy
of one to five, while with the sunhower
pith one to IS is attained. About 800
cubic inches of it would weigh as much
as one cubic inch of iridium, the
heaviest metal.

No Great Success Has ms Yet been
Attained.
The experiments Of Moissnn and his
success in producing microscopic crys-
tails of carbon, which, technically at
least, were entitled to be called arti-
fetal diamonds, are well known. We
now have, says the Engineering Maya
zine, further contributions to the sub
ject of the capitalization of carbon by
the well-known electro-chemist, DR..
Dorchers, who contributes an article
to "The Zeitschrift fur Elelltrochemie"
reviewing the past attempts in this di-
ments. Moissan worked upon the line
of capitalization of fused carbon un-
der immense pressure, while Borchers
attains the same or similar results by
maintaining q carbon rod at the high
temperature Of the electric furnace for
considerable time, the surface of the rod
showing distinct evidences of crystal
lization.
The experiments have been carried
out upon small scale only, and, being
unable to continue the researches, DR..
Borchers gives full account of his
method and apparatus, trusting that
further Investigations may be carried
on by those who have powerful currents
at their disposal and opportunity to
carry out all the conditions which suc-
cess demands.

because of ItS ImprOpFlety and Was

A point in theatrical law has just

the Pail Mall Gazette. The manager
OF the theater at Cannes engaged Mile,
Rita dArzac to play soubrette and In

the season the young lady appeared
nightly, to her own satisfaction and
that Of the house, as sweetly innocent
young thing or as comely and modest
maid. 1t fell on day, however, that
another lady Of the troupe was taken i'll
and had to be replaced. Her role was
the principal one in the piece. 1t was
offered to Mile. d'Arzac, who, to the
general establishment, Indignantly re-
fused It. Never before, perhaps, in
the annals Of the theater had an actress
declined to be promoted to the rank
Of leading lady. OF course Mile. d'Arzac
had her reasons. The character she was
asked to play was that Of lamentably
flighty young person. Mile. d'Arzao
