A Michigan lawyer, whose success has been an
established fact for years. tells one incident in
his life, from which no dates his prosperity:

shire TO Boston. In worldly matters l was de-
plorably ignorant. but in book lore l must have
been something of "a phenomenon. for SO much
that / have read was literature such AS occupied

l had said farewell TO the folks at home. and
positively assured them that when / came back
i would be n lawyer.
" had my whole campaign mapped out, and
you can infer i was a novice from my lime OF
procedure. In my mind the Mayor OF a great
city exercised a sort of patriarchal sovereignty.
From what | had read in my old books. he was
the father Of his people. So went to the Mayor
OF Boston; not to his Office, but to his house. In
the evening, and without invitation. He was
the central figure In some sort OF social func-
cred into his august presence. The fine ladies
about him put the finishing touches, on my
timidity. AS I look back l can recall that l
would speak first, then think, and finally suffer
indescribable horrors. l was in u state OF ire
sponsible extinction. But 1t was one OF those
same fine ladies' that came to my rescue. With
n tact that would have won her fame rs u cross
examiner, she drew me out, was delighted with
the quaint knowledge that i possessed, inter
ested the Mayor in spite OF himself, and he ac-
tually put me into an Office where l was self
sustaining from the start.

there arc sold in the course OF the season a great
many Thousand duck eggs. The season is brief,
lasting practically only about two months, from

About two-thirds OF the duck eggs brought to
this market come from the shores OF Chesapeake
Bay, the rest mainly from Virginia and from
New Orleans. Duck eggs sold In the West come
more largely from the South. Baltimore eggs,
which Include eggs from along the Chesapeake
Bay, are the best. Such eggs, bring at Wholesale
b TO 8 cents a dozen more than eggs from fur
Their South.
AT retail duck eggs sell for about twice as
much as hons eggs. Weight for weight they

poses as hens eggs; They are bought mainly
by people of foreign birth.
There is a market for all the duck eggs pro-

Mr. &. II. Warren Argues Against specific ana
General british Claims.

RALIFAN, y. s, Sept. lee. b. Warren took
the floor in the BchrinG Sea case to-day for tho
first time. He discussed the claim made by tho
British brief that there had been an intention on
the part OF the United States to ruin the sealing
enterprise. He said he could find no way 10
estimate the prospective damage.
Mr., Warren denied all liability in the Oscar
and Hattie case. The vessel had been handed
over to the British cruiser. which interfcred TO q
greater extent than the United States Govern
mcnt vessel had. Liability In the Winifred case
WAS also denied. because the vessel WAS released
and rescued in United states waters. Tho
schooner Wandcrer case was a claim for intimi-
dation. The speaker said that the United States
cruiser WAS a thousand miles away when tho
Indians refused To proceed sealing with the
schooner. The WRndcrcr then returned TO VIC
toria. secured a charter. and was paid for her
work. Credit. at least, should to given for the
money earned hereby.
Mr.. Warren then discussed the effect OF domk
