American Brevity.

A rich American, according to the
following anecdote, related in Good
Words by the Rev. Donald Macleod, ID.
D., presented himself one day at the
studio of Sir John Millais, and, with
out preamble, began at once to speak.
Sir" he said, II wish to take a
present back to my wife. She says she
would like to have my portrait painted
by the very best artist in the country.
l have been told that you are the man.
When can have sitting?"
II am at present very busy" said
Millais
$50 am /, p" was the reply.
But am a very expensive artist"
''How much do you charger"
A large price was named.
shall l give you check now?"
mot at all, =" said Millais. 81 merely
mentioned it to prevent misunderstood
ings. F"
"How many sittings do you required"
Five or six at the least
IF you can do it in fewer, so much
the better, for l am a very busy man
and my time is valuable.
Millais enjoyed the manner in which
his own plea of being busy had been
met and agreed to paint him.

Unshayed Too.

The following circumstance happened
in one of the towns of Ireland A man
had been drinking until later hour al
night before he started for home. Hen.
est folk had been long in bed, and the
houses were all shut and dark. The
liquor he had taken was too much fol
him. He did not know where to 60
He at last staggered into an empty
wagon shed and fell upon the ground
For long time he lay in the uncon
seriousness of drunken sleep and would
have undoubtedly been frozen TO death
(for the snow on the ground showed the
night TO be very cold) had not Others
less insensible been near him.
This shed was fayorite rendezvous
for the pigs, which rushed out when the
newcomer arrived, but soon returned to
their bed In the utmost kindness and
truest hospitality, they gave their biped
companion the middle of the bed.
Toward morning he awoke, and, find.
ing himself comfortable and in blissful
ignorance of his whereabouts, he sup
posed himself enjoying the accommodate
ton of a tavern, in company with other
gentlemen. He reached out his hand,
and, catching hold of the stiff bristles
of hog, exclaimed:
why, mister! When did you shave
yourself st?"-Pearson' Weekly.

There is one institution in France
which has hitherto contrived to with
stand all the numerous and revolution.
ary changes of government-namely,
the Bank of France. which owes its orr
gin to the first Napoleon The question
as to the renewal of its charter came
up recently for discussion in the legis-

Since the foundation of the bank it has
had but ten governors, while France
has during the same period of time had
no less than 8 different regimes and

PENSION CASES.
Judge Longs Service to Disabled
and Dependent Veterans.

and Dependent Veterans.
There is one phase of Judge Longs
pension case that is Of interest to every
crippled or dependent survivor of the
war for the Union. In reducing that
and other pensions, and In the rulings
which followed Commissioner Lochren
took the ground that the ratings of a
former commissioner might be set
aside and pension arbitrarily reduced,
and that such case should not be re-
opened, nor the pension restored, eX-
cept by bringing new proofs of in
jury or disability. He also refused to
pensioners access to the original proofs
on file In the department. 1t is easy to
see what hardships these monstrous
rulings might impose. The war closed
b years ago. The men who could give
evidence in almost any case Of dis
ability incurred in the service are
either scattered or dead. In a great
many of these cases the requirement
that new proofs should be introduced
would amount to an absolute denial of
justice.
In most civil cases it is required that
suit should be brought within six years
is based on the theory that If there
were no statute of limitations the party
against whom suit is brought may find
his witnesses scattered and his proofs
difficult of access. Yet Commissioner
Lochren sought to compel pensioners
to hunt up new proofs after the lapse
of more than 30 years.
One result of Judges Longs fight on
the matter was to drive Lochren out Of
the pension office. Another was to stop
the practice which was Lochren inau-
gurated. and to re-establish the rule. or
at least the practice, that the ratings
of a former commissioner shall not be
reduced except upon allegations of
fraud. For his vigorous fight, and for
this result, Judge Long Is entitled to
the gratitude of every pensioner in
Michigan.

JUDICI4 . ERMs.
An Excellent Practice That Should
be Observed Here.

be observed Here.
The Michigan supreme court attained
its highest distinction among the-courts
Of the land when the practice prevailed
of keeping its capable judges on the
bench. Campbell, Cooley, Christiancy
and Graves formed an illustrious quar-
tette who each served two or more
terms, and whose later service had an
added value by reason of the expert
ence and study of the earlier periods.
A familiarity with previous decisions
and rulings, a knowledge of precedent,
an understanding Of the laws as related
to each other, do not come by intuition
but by study, and until old age impares
a judges usefulness every year upon
the bench adds to his value. In the
United States courts this fact is recog-
nized by giving judges life terms, with
the privilege of retiring after reaching
a certain age. Some of the states APP
point or elect their judges for life, and
in others they serve until they are 20
years of age.
In Michigan the terms are limited,
but long service can be secured by re-
clecting judges Of proved qualifications
for the position This springs cleo

This laudable practice. Judge Long,

Mr. George KEENAN, tells Siberian
ghost story In st. Nicholas After de-
scribing the first visitation Of the inys-
FERROUS CHEST cit afterward proved TO be-
half starved dog) Mr.. KEENAN, says !:
For two or three days fter this, Yegor
took refuge at night in the house Of q
neighboring friend and left me to tackle
the ghost alone, but neither in the gar
ret nor in the kitchen did I hear the
faintest sound to indicate that the mys-
terious somebody who walked in dark
ness and left no tracks was abroad.
Meantime, however, the news that q
ghost had appeared to Yegor in the
barin's kitchen, and that even the skep-
teal BARN himself had heard the ''un-
clean spirit" pacing the floor of the gar
ret at midnight, spread to every house
in the village, and the 4ext Sunday aft
ernoon who should appear at my door
but Russian priest. dressed in all his
robes and followed by one of the church
choir boys, with basin Of water and a
small bundle of long, flexible twigs.
The reverend father came in swinging
smoking censor and reciting sonorously
selection from the old Slavonic psalter
He marched solemnly around the entry,
the kitchen and the sitting room, fumi-
eating every nook and corner where a
ghost might Turk, and then took the
basin and the brush of twigs and sprin-
killed. the whole house with water after
the manner of the Greek church. Hav-
ing thus performed his official duty, he
greeted me courteously, apologized for
the intrusion and said that it was his
custom to conduct ceremony OF that
kind once year in every house in the
village. / was not, of course, a member
of his church. Bat he had taken the lib
erty, he said, of coming to my house be-
cause there were reports in circulation
that mysterious noises had been heard
in it, and the minds Of his parishioners
were disturbed.

A TARIFF HnARlx0.
Difference Between the Free Trade
and Protective Methods.

and Protective Methods.
We hear occasional complaints from
Democratic sources about the rapacity
Of the manufacturers and agricultur-
lists who appear before the ways and
means committee OF congress in adj
vocacy OF increased duties upon the
products In which they are interested.
This must, u some of them, be a
strong reminder of the treatment they
received from the Wilson committee
when the tariff was under considera-
ton In 1894. 1t Is not often, In a rep
,esentative government, that a law at
fecting the economic interests of the
whole people Is framed in secrecy and
reported for passage, without giving
opportunity for any Of the interests to
be heard, either I'm remonstrance or ar
gument. Yet that is precisely what
was done by the majority Of the ways
and means committee in framing the
Wilson bill. From most of the meet
lngs their associates, the minority of
the committee, were excluded, and
manufacturers stood no show at all.
In the senate committee the same
course was adopted. Mr. T.. G. Lewis,
Of Waterbury, Conn.,, an ex-candidate
for congress, and one OF the leading
manufacturers I'm the state, told at the
time of his efforts to see the senate
committee, as a representative OF the
manufacturers Of horseshoe nails, and
his story is worth reproducing now.
He first went to Senator Hawley, OF
his own state, and said the senator
must do something TO get hearing for
him. The reply was, why, my dear
Mr.. Lewis, L would do for you any
favor in the world, but this is out of
the question; so secret are they that l
do not believe Grover Cleveland him
self could get you inside that commit
tee room" Mr.. Lewis then applied to
Senator Platt, of Connecticut, who
said: Impossible. You are wild to
think of trying it," He tried number
of other senators and politicians with
the same result.
Finally Mr.. Lewis went to Senator
Mills who was under personal obliga-
tons to him, and who, after much urg-
ing, gave him letter to Senator Voor-
heeS who was on the committee.
Armed with this and with letter, al
SO from the assistant secretary of the
treasury he succeeded in making his
way into the committee room, only to
be told that the committee granted no
hearings and would listen to no argu-
ments.
That was about the way the Wilson
act was framed throughout. Refusing
all information as well as argument,
the committee went blindly ahead with
an act that wrought universal havoc
among the industries of the nation.
There is no ground for the appre-
hension which some of the Democratic
papers express, that the Dingley COM
mittee will yield to every request that
is made for high rate of duty. The
composition Of the committee is a
guarantee that the bill which they re-
port will be moderate and just Fortu-
nately the committee has the fairness
TO give the industries of the country
n hearing, in the effort to ascertain
whether the legislation that Is sought
will go toward their upbuilding or
their destruction.

THE MORAL EFFECT.

1t will doubtless be said by some
that it is not worth while for the Re-
publicans to make any great effort at
the spring election, because 1t has no
immediate bearing upon national is
sues. Ii is true that the vote this
spring does not have direct effect up
on either silver or tariff legislation. but
the moral effect upon Congress will be
great. IL does make a great difference
