DAY SENT OVER.
He Will Spend More Than a Year at
CranSt0n.
Convicted of Brulally Beating His Wife.
A Previous Sentence.

Michael j. Day, well known North
Ender was sent to Jail this morning for
30 days by Judge Sweetland for making
an assault upon his wife Eliza j. Day at
their home, 43 Lippitt street last Tuesday.
Mrs. Day and her little son Leo, testified
that Day came To the house Tuesday
noon in fighting mood and struck the
woman, knocking her down. Captain
Steven testified to seeing Mrs. Days cheek
few moments after the affairs, and 1t
was discolored and bruised.
Day in his own behalf said his wife
begged him to strike her so that she could
have him arrested and he was just foolish
enough To do it. When asked If he had
not been convicted of beating his wife
before he said that he had been, but he was
perfectly innocent of the charge. He ex-
planned that when he got on the stand TO
testify he was not allowed To tell his
story, because the woman wanted him
sent over
Judge Sweetland asked him II it was in
the Sixth district court that he was not
allowed to tell his story and Day said IL
was, last September in this court. lis
everything that you have said about the
case, as true as you have stated about
your not being allowed to testify in this
court, - asked His Honor.
Yes was Days answer. "Well you
may step down, " said the Judge.
Day was then sent To Jail for 80 DAYS
which is the full extent of the law. Day
was "a few days ago sent to the state farm
for six months for being "a sturdy beggar,
and last Saturday was fined 81 and costs
for being drunk. His drunk fine was
paid, so when he walked to the prison
pen he asked the Judge If his six
months sentence and his 80 days sentence
were to run concurrently. He was in
formed that they were not, so the city
will be rid of Days presence for more
than one year, as the cost of the case to-
day is considerable.

which contains within its lining mem

mass of fugitive poetry that finds its way

specimen which, from its brightness
and cleverness Is worth preserving Such
poem Is that which recently appeared
and which is entitled "Old Shoes The
author has not furnished his name with
the e.fusion but that will not in any
degree mar the pleasure OF it. Here is
the poem:
How much man Is like old shoesi
For instance, each soul may lose.
Both have been tanned-both are made tight
BY cobblers-bothl get left and right.
Both need a mate to be complete,
And both are made TO go on feet.
They beth need healing; oft are sold,
Aud both, in time, turn all TO mold
With shoes the last Is first; with men
Tine first shall be last, and when
The shoes wear out they re mended new.
When men wear out they're men dead tool
They both are trod upon and both
Will tread on others-nothing loath.
Both have their ties and both incline,
When polished in the world to shine;
And both peg out. And would you choose

tips.
Recently medical man assisted at an
autopsy ON person blind from birth, and
he sought to discover by scalpel and
microscope the secret of the extraordi-
narily delicate touch the blind man had
acquired during life. Sections perhaps u
sixteenth of an inch thick were carefully
sliced off the inner surfaces of the index
and middle fingers of the right hand
Under a high power these showed, in
stead of single nerve trunk and artery
and vein of the average man, most COM
plex and delicate ramification of nerve
filaments, dainty and minute nerve twigs
in immense number branching from the
main stem. Through constant use the
finger tips of the blind acquire this un-
usual development, with more and more
perfect performance of function.
1t is stated on what is regarded as COM
petent authority that even after the in
production of tea into Europe and when
IL had come into general use, tea cups
were very scarce. AT the same time coffee
was introduced, but, apart from Con-
stantinople, the first coffee cups in Europe
date back only as far AS 1645 in Venice,
1869 in Paris, 1862 in London and 1854 in
I,eipsic From the first, however, the
conventional Oriental coffee cup without
stem or handle, was little used, and in
Germany not at all. The Chinese tea cup
was used for tea, coffee and chocolate as
well. Specimens of porcelain were un-
doubtedly introduced into Europe in the
middle ages, yet not till the sixteenth
in any great quantities, and even then il
was as articles of yertu. Most of these
found their way back to China again,
as collecting porcelain is lasting fad
there and high prices are paid for good
srocimens. The collection OF Chinese por-
cclAin,. IL only the genuine specimens are
desired, requires immense study and
knc wIedge as the Chinese are skillful
imitators and put numerous falsifications
ON the market.
