A Difference.

The legal profession are always fond
of jokes at the expense of their own
trade-provided the jokes are good.
The Green Bag, a lawyers paper. has
this story. which was told by the late
Lord Chief Justice of England:
His lordship was one morning driving
to his court in his own coupe when an
accident happened to the conveyance,
and, fearing that he should be late. he
called a cab.
Drive me as rapidly as possible to
the Courts of JUSTICE" he said to the
driver.
And where be they?' answered
'cabby."
''Whatr exclaimed the chief justice,
you London cabman, and don't know
where the Law Courts are?'
"Oh, the Law Courts. eh?" answered
the man; but you said courts of JUS
tice"'
On his way in the cab the chief JUS
tice pOndered not little, as he after
ward told his brethren, on the reasons
why a line should be draw in the pop
ular mind between law and justice.

The usefulness of the Senate Of Col

The usefulness of the Senate Of Color
ado as legislative body has been Sc
riOusly menaced, it appears, by the
presence of young and beautiful wom-
en-. and the Senators have been forced
to take drastic measures of self-protec-
ton. This action has been precipitated
by the hopeless imbecility of some of
the more susceptible members and has
taken the form of absolute banishment
of all women from the Senate chamber
When the ineXorable purpose of the
solons became apparent an effort was
made to effect compromise on prom
ise by the women that they would never
enter the Senate unless heavily yelled.
But the Senators who were banded to-
gether to defend their impressionable
associates would not yield to these
tempting Establishments. The decree
was made to include even the women
stenographers who have been wont to
preserve for posterity and others the
oratorical graces Of the Senators. 1t
looks as if there were some sinister
purpose back of all this that is not ye:
revealed What is the Senate going to
do of which it is ashamed?

In telling of the children Of Cn;n2, the
Rev. S. G. Miner, a missionary in Foo
chow. speaks first of the boys. One
fourth of the children of the world are
born to Chinese parents, and the god
deSs Mother is the most diligently wor-
SHIPPED so that they all may be boys.
But this is hard thing for even so
great a goddess to. control, and many
girls are born. When the news of
birth is announced everybody asks,
just as they do in America, rs it
boy or girl:'' If it is boy all the
friends of the parents call at once TO
offer congratulate tons and presents; but
if the baby is girl they extend SYM
pathy. The kindest remark that the
disappointed mother ever hears under
such circumstances is, well. a girl is
worth something" Every city has a
baby tower built on it's outskirts. which
is the burying place of infants. Not in
frequently newly born girl is drown
ed. left on missiOnary'S doorstep,
thrown into the street, or, before she
stops breathing, is tossed into this
death-house.

Wyoming's game warden is credited
witt the statement that the number
of elk wintering in the Jackson's Hole
country is greater than for many pre-
viOus years. A conservative estimate
fixes the number at 10000 They are
on every hill and in every valley, and
the nights sounds are most piteous
from the crying of the calves lost from
their mothers. Every morning thou
sands are seen travelling from the great
swamps along the Snake River to the
Gros Ventre hills. The game warden
says: Il recently gazed upon 4 sight
which far surpassed anything that l
had ever seen, and it utterly astonished
and amazed me. For distance of six
miles herd of elk was stretched out.
The animals had made trail through
the snow which was packed as hard
as finted ice | know there were $4,000
head of elk in that band"

Shina ON WheeIs

A French inventor, NJ Ernest Baz!n.
has recently launched model of a
steamship which, in place of an ordi-
nary hull, has six large, wheel-shaped
rollers, on whose aXles the framework
of the ships body rests. AS the vessel
is driven forward by screw, the float
ing wheels that sustain it rotate, and
Monsieur Bazin thinks this rolling OF
the wheels must result in a decrease of
the resistance offered by the water 10
the advance of the ship. He asserts
that the saving in motive power will
enable large steamships constructed on
the roller plan to travel thirty knots an
hour, with consumption of only 800
tons of coal in crossing the AtlaLtic.
while the best ships now in existence
consume more than 5000 tons of coal
during such a voyage, and are able to
go only twenty-five knots an hour.

1t seems to be the general opinion
that Bismarck's secret understanding
with Russia was known TO the Emperor
of Austria and Count KalnOky before
1890, and that the information in the
first place came from Russia. 1t is
pointed out that when Prince Bismarck
was dismissed, no secret was made in
Vienna of the general relief. and even
the acknowledged organs Of the foreign
Office openly said that with Count Ca
privi an era of frankness, sincerity,
and plain dealing had begun in the re-
lations of the two allied powers. Less
than year ago, according to the New
York Evening Post, the Austrian En-
perOr is said to have declined to re-

lily in the followings words: Il am not

The Birthplace of EeIs.

Prof. g. B. Grassi, of Rome, recently
received the Darwin medal from the
Royal Society in London in recognition
of his biological discoveries. "The
most astonishing case" says Nature
lis that Of the common eel, the develop-
ment of which had been a mystery
since the days of Aristotle 1t was
known that large eels pass from rivers
into the sea, and that young eels, called
in England "elvers," ascend rivers from
the sea; but no one before Grassi had
been able 70 find out how elvers ere
produced. The Italian naturalist, tax
ing advantage of the currents near the
Straits Of Messina, which occa sionally
bring to the surface inha of the
deep waters, discovered that the eels
which pass out of rivers are not fully
grown, as they had been supposed to
be, but that they attain complete devel-
opment after entering the sea- There
their eggs are Matched, the young tax
ing at first a larval form which is iden-
tilted with leptocephalus, formerly sup
posed to be distinct genus After
ward the leptocephali undergo trans for
nation into elvers, or young eels, IN
which state they quit the sea for the
rivers.
