Sir walter scott's First Brief.

Sir Walter Scott had his share OF the
usual curious experiences shortly after
being called to the bar. His hrst
appearance as counsel in a criminal
court was at Jedburgh assiZes III
1893. when he successfully defended
veteran poacher. You're lucky
scoundrel, Scott whispered to his client
when the verdict was given. IN Just
n your mind returned the latter,
land I'll send you q maukin q. G.,
bare) the morn, man" Lockhart, who
narrates the incident, omits to add
whether the maukin duly reached Scott,
but no doubt it did.
On another occasion Scott was less
successful i'm his defense of house
breaker, but the culprit, grateful for his
counsel's exertions, gave him. III lieu
of the orthodox fee, which he was un-
able to pay. this piece of advice, to the
value of which he, the housebreaker,
could professionally attest: First, never
to have large watchdog out OF doors,
but to keep little yelping terrier
within, and, secondly, to put no trust
in nice. clever, gimcrack locks, but to
min his faith to huge old heavy one
with a rusty key. Scott long remem-
bered this incident, and 30 years later,
at a Judges dinner at Jedburgh, he re-
called il in this impromptu rhyme:

Know the .small Gracesn of Life.

Young men should not get the idea that
to know the "small graces of life" Is use
less or frivolous. What we call the social
graces" are very valuable to young man.
That is the great trouble with young fel-
lows who are earnest. They are too ear
nest and upon all occasions. They can have
q high aim in life, lofty purpose, and yet
not close themselves up to all social pleas
ures or amenities. Girls feel uncomforta-
BILE and pardonably so, when they go to a
concert or any other form of entertain
ment with n young man who constantly
makes mistakes in little things The
small rules and laws which must be OBJ
served on all social occasions are not to be
frowned down. They are important, and
a young fellow makes great mistake
when he considers them beneath him or
unworthy of his attention. -Edward w.

LassOing q Lion.

The traffic in guns and ammunition
at this point is likely to suffer depres
sion if the methods of John w. Owen
in hunting wild animals are adopted
generally. The other day Mr.. Owen and
Oliver Peaker were in the Jicarilla
mountains, having several hunting dogs
with them, but no guns. Besides cap
turing two wildcats and one fox, their
hounds got on the fresh trail of huge
mountain lion, which had just gorged
itself with the fresh veal from calf it
had killed. The lion had taken refuge
from its pursuers in tree when Messrs.
Owen and Peaker came up and drove 1T
off its perch with clubs. This was re-
heated until it reached its third resort.
Here Mr.. Owen, being an expert COW
man, and realizing that few dogs and
two unarmed men could not hope to
capture an animal of this character by
means of noise and only clubs and stones
for weapons, concluded to adopt the
rope which he knew so well how to use.
Taking his larat in his hand, he climbed
the tree to within about six feet OF the
lion. and making the throw with care
and precision, the animal was caught
around the neck just as he was ready tC
spring at his captor Mr., Owen dropped
to the ground, the lion springing at the
same time When only two or three feet
from the ground, the animal reached

Saved by an un.poksn sermon.

How sermon did good though ii was
not preached is told by the Baltimore
Herald. The sermon was written by the
Rev. ID. b, Greigg and the subject OF
1.-THE Unemployed Masses" -was
announced in the usual course in the
Saturday papers. One of the papers sent
reporter to Mr.. Greigg's house and Sc
cured copy--or perhaps an abstract
of the sermon and put it in type for the
Monday issue.
At that time evangelistic services
were being conducted throughout the
city, and the committee in charge of
them sent several speakers to address
Mr. Greigg's Sunday evening congrega'
ton. He at once gave way to the evan
gelists, and the sermon he had prepared
was not preached. but was laid aside for
another occasion. The next morning,
however, the daily papers contained
long report of the sermon which was
as yet undelivered
On that particular Monday morning
there was in Baltimore homeless and
penniless young Scotchman. Every hour
his prospects had seemed to grow darker,
and finally desperation crushed out what
| little hope had been left in his heart
He determined on suicide.
With his last few pennies he pur-
| chased poison enough to end all and was
leaving the drug store when his eyes
fell on newspaper. Probably the
| glance would have been but a passing
one if he had not noticed the headline,
ITO the Unemployed Masses s" This
| phrase struck responsive chord, and he
read the abstract of Mr.. Greigg's dis
| course
Then it occurred to him that a min
lister who preached such a sermon might
be interested in his case. The better
man in him rose, and he made up his
mind to search out the preacher If only
as a last resort.

The Need of Pardon.

Peace with God is impossible without
pardon. No child can feel comfortable
under the roof of its father with the
sting of guilt in its conscience and the
sense of sin not as yet forgiven. An
unforgiven sin is like thorn III the

a menace to the health of the body. 1t

better. The longer it remains the more
grievous the mischief and the more diff

BADNESS.
A Dermatologist Says IL May BE Unknown
In Another Generation.


In Another Generation.
Now the real cause of badness has been
discovered, and French dermatologist,
DIR. Labourand, suggests a remedy. by
the use of this remedy, he says, badness
can be prevented, and in the next genera
ton il may be unknown.
1t has been known for some time among
medical men that badness is disease. 1t
has even been supposed to be due to
specific microbe. In fact, such an extraor-
binary amount of evidence in favor of the
theory has been accumulated that the idea
is now generally accepted. DIR. Labour-
and investigation on the subject has been
exhaustive and of such conclusive nature
as to add heavy re-enforcements to the al.
ready existing microbic theory. He believes
that the disease is contagious and that the
cause of contagion and the spreading of
microbes Is due TO the barber's instru-
ments. He presents strong evidence in
support of this theory.
According to Labourand, the typical
diseased hair is found at the edge Of con-
stantly charging bald spot. 1t Is the
stump of what was once long hair. 1t Is
shaped like an interrogation point 1t
grows less In diameter toward the root and
has lost its color, being either gray or
white. The normal pith canal is wanting
at the root, which is itself no longer bulb
Gus and followed for the papilla, but dis
| torted in shape and hardened. Within the
| root sack little bulb may be seen develop
| ing II examined under the magnifyine
glass. It is this which is said to be the
| cause of the disease
| In the good hair this bulb or utricule IL
| full and closed and contains in its center
compact clusters of microbes, culture Of
| the smallest bacillus known. AS the mi
crobe natures it may become one one-hun
dredth of an inch in width. 1t is bent Of
slightly curved In shape, like comma
blunt at the ends and slightly swollen II
the center. Each bulb contains millions o
these bacilli, and to them Is attributed tn
cause of badness.
Investigation shows that by the tim
the hair Is dead and the root and sebaceou
gland useless the microbe which produces
this effect is gone. Thus remedies applies
to the bald spot in the hope of making hal
grow again are vain, for that glistening
white desert is totally barren OF productiv
roots, and the oil sacks are dried forever.
However, the progress of badness ca
be impeded This is accomplished by dis
infection of the skin at the edge and in tn
neighborhood of the patch by means OF a
effectual microbe destroying tonic.
If the microbe of badness is an actua
fact, as seems fairly probable, and If tn
prevalence of the condition is due to cor
tagion, as is the reasonable and logici
deduction, badness can be prevented an
the first stages of the disease arrested .
