TIME FLIES, BECOME ABOUT

1t is contended that the British bar
ranks higher for ability, courtesy and in
tegrity than that of any other country of
the world; that there is a greater respect
for law ana justice, a higher ideal among
barrsters and a larger degree Of CON
scientiOusness in practice. When Il Brit
ism barrister makes a statement in court
1t is seldom questioned. The judge, the
opposing counsel and everybody else con
cerned accept il as the truth, ana it has
even more weight than the evidence of a
witness under oath. The proceedings in
court are very formal and are attended
with much ceremony. The de-
corum and solemnity are as
great in the ordinary Brit
ish court as in the supreme court of the
United States.p No barrister dare appear
except in a wig and gown over frock
suit of black or very dark clothes Only
a few years ago it was customary for
them to wear frilled shirts. One of the
most prominent barristGrs ia London told
me that he was once rebuked by the judge
for appearing in court wearing a seersuck-
er WaistcOat. although it was an accident.
The day was very warm and he dressed
accordingly, not expecting to enter the
courtroom. But when he received notice
that one of his cases was up he grabbed
his wig and gown and hurried over. An
other gentleman told me that he was sum
moned quite as unexpectedly one day when
dressed i'm a bicycle costume. Fortunately,
a friend next door about his weight was
kind enough to exchange suits with him
for a few hours.
A barristers fees are small, and they
are always paid in advance, and the
sum Is recorded under the title Of the
brief. a friend who has a large practice
showed me his Textbook yesterday. The
largest item was &c guineas which is less
than $500 The average was about $50. Fees
are regulated by the bcuchers OF the inn
according to the service performed, and
no contingent fees are allowed. bar
rister may accept case for nothing or
return the fee in cases Of charity. but
he cannot without violating his oath di-
rectly or indirectly, accept any greater
compensation for a legal service than is
allowed in the regular schedule fixed by
the benchers Of his inn. If he docs so
he is debarred from practice. II IS COM
mon custom In America for q lawyer
to undertake a suit for the recovery of
damages or claim Of any kind with a
contract that he shall receive a certain
percentage of the amount of money recov-
cred In England such an act would be
considered disreputable, and any barris-
ter found guilty would be expelled from
his inn. The fees are regulated by the
amount Of time and labor required. and
not by the amount OF money involved. A
barristcr may receive a fee of $3.50 In
case involving only $780, and he may re-
ceive a fee Of $25 In a case involving ST.
100000.

Did you know that forty per cent OF

weak kidneys to greater or less ex-
tent? Mothers know II and there a :
very mistaken policy Of saying moth
ing about It," Sweet. clean, dry beds
should be and can be the resting place
by night for our little ones. Some
mothers attribute 1t to habit" II IN
not habit ut all. Why are these
children who have this habit" thirsty
at bed time? Let US tell you. Weak
kidneys become somewhat inflamed by
the daily activity Of the child and de-
mand something cooling. The result
is the same, whether they drink or not
wet beds. We write our school
teachers, asking them to always and
quickly permit Fred or Nellie to retire
on request, as their kidneys are weak.
Let US set you right, in this matter.
Give such children one Doan's Kidney
Pill twice day, and as sure as you do.
their kidneys quickly strengthen to q
full ability Of retention, and sweet
rooms and beds, and undisturbed stud
les at school will be the result. Their
weakened kidneys are nearly always
the result of some former sickness, and
as easily cured as any childish all
ment. Deans Kidney Pills are pleas
ant for children to take, and perfectly
harmless. An example of the success
of Doan's Kidney Pills in this trouble
comes from Meriden, Conn. Mrs. VIM.
Wood, who lives in that city. at 100

years of age has always been troubled
