Law Of the Texan Hen.
~0 ~

We have read of Maud, on a summers day,
Who raked, barefooted the new-mown hay;
We have read of the maid in the early morn,
Who MIXED the COW with the Crumped horn;
We We read the lays that the poets sing,
OF the rustng corn and the flowers Of spring,
But of all the lays Of tongue pen,
There's naught like the lay of the Texan hen'
Long, Icng before Maud rakes her hay,
The Texan hen begins her lay
And ere the miIkmad stirs peg,
The hen isup and has dropped her egg.
The corn must rustic and the flowers spring,
# they'd hold their own with the barn yard ring.
If Maud is needing hat or gown,
She doesn't hustle her hay to town.
She gathers eggs and the eggs she'll hide,
Till she saved enough to stem the tide.
Then hail, all hail, to the Texas hen,
The greatest blessing of all the men
Throw up your hats and make Rome howl,
For the perseverng barnyard fowl,
Though cottons king, its plainly seen,
That the Texan hen is really queen.

playing 1t by ear. The inaccuracy
which is pretty certain to result is Of
ten torturing, but there is a great diff
ference in bands, as anybody who has
ever listened to poor one can readily
testify. In some of the smaller cafes
and restaurants the music of these men
is dreadful, although there are occa-
Sionally found in some of the most
modest restaurants bands that express
admirably all the best qualities of their
gipsy music. Nearly all the players
are best in the music of their own coun-
try. When they go in for New York
popular songs they do not succeed so
well, But they are driven to playing
the popular music. An overdose of
the dominant seventh" is found UNI
suited to the tastes of their audiences,
In some of the waltzes written by Aus
TRANS or Observation-Disclosures
Waves" for instance-they play with
great expressiveness and feeling. Gen
orally they play polkas very much bet
ter than waltzes. and at some of the
large balls they play these dances and
an occasional lancers, while the waltzes
are left to the regular orchestras.
In all countries which he has pene-
trated, the Magyar musician claims
that his nationality is assumed and his
music initiated by men who have no
right to be called Hungarians or gip-
sizes. The uniforms of white, blue or
red often cover the bodies that are
sWarthy, but not Hungarian. In
France it is the men from the Midi
with the dark skins and black mus
taches who assume the name and garb
of the popular tzigane and struggle to
share his popularity Here it is said
that many of the players in the less
well-known bands are Italians, who, in
the temporary cessation of traffic be-
tween this city and Coney Island, are
willing to sell their birthright and dis
guise themselves to play with all the
vigor possible the Rakoczy march in
place of the Verdian languors of the
summer, or MY Mother Was a Lady,"

The Imperial Institute Edinburgh,
has had brought to Its attention some
interesting phenomena relating to the
method by which gold was originally
deposited in auriferous quartz. On this
occasion Mr.. j. c. Johnson of Adelaide,
Australia, who has given great atten-
ton to the subject, exhibited specimens
OF non gold bearing stones in which he
had artiflcially introduced gold in in
terstices and on the face in such a
manner as to defy detection, even by
skilled experts. Some of these speci-
mems were shown privately to several
distinguished biologists, who expressed
great surprise at the remarkable char
acter of the same. 1t seems that the
discovery, some years ago, that gold
could be induced to deposit from its
mineral salt to the metallic state on
any suitable base, such as iron sui
phide, led Mr. Johnson to experiment
with various salts of gold, and by
which he found himself able to produce
the most natural looking specimens of
auriferous quartz from stone which,
from previous assay, contained no trace
of gold moreover, the gold, which pen
crates the stone so thoroughly, assumes
some of the more natural forms.

Justification of him Is to be found in the
condition of business last year in Mass
achusetts, Mr., Horace G. Wadlin,
chief of the Massachusetts bureau of
labor statistics, gives reliable evidence
of improvement in the industrial con-
ditions of that State. He shows that
the increase in the average number of
persons employed in Massachusetts, last
year was 22.S61, or 900 per cent, In the
nine leading industries the average in
crease of persons employed was as fol-
lows: Boots and shoes, 2.S5 per cent;
carpeting, 2241 per cent, cotton goods,
7.2S per cent; leather, 1890 per cent;
machines and machinery, 1928 per
cent; metals and metallic goods, 1904
per cent; paper and paper goods, $50
per cent; wooden goods, ILL per cent,
and worsted goods, 29,91 per cent.
The amount of wages paid to the
workmen increased on the average 11.41
per cent. last year. Only one of the
nine leading industries, boots and shoes,
shows decrease, and that of but 0.23
per cent. The other eight industries
show percentages of increase as fol-
lows: Carpetings, 27.61; cotton goods,
1922; leather, 14.15; machines and ma
chinery, 1929; metals and metallic
goods, 1853; paper and paper goods,
5.94; wooden goods, 219S, and worsted
goods, 1888. The average yearly earn
ings per Individual, without regard to
sex, age or differences of skill, were
SAP. Sc in 1894, rising to $421,59 in 1895,
an increase of 2.19 per cent.
The average proportion of business
done reached 5967 per cent. in 1894,
and 62.73 per cent. in 1895, of the full
productive capacity of the 1929 estab-
lishments an increase of 5.1S per cent
The average number of days in opera
ton in 1894 was 276.01, and in 1895,
291.42, an increase of 1911 days, or SIS
per cent.
These are encouraging facts. They
show that there has been marked i'm
provement in the business situation
just when it has seemed the worst.
There will be more soon.

Fatal Delay.

Press dispatches from New York this
week report the death from cancer of
the intestines of a distinguished lawyer
Taken sick Jan. 26; died Feb. z. Was
i'll only IS days. No doubt he had had
warnings previously of his dread dis
ease, and may have supposed, as do
many others, that it was only a tenn
porary troub1e-a fit of indigestion or
bowels out of order for day or two.
1t would pass away. And work was
rushing; impossible to stop; must go
on, no matter how he felt.
Are not such lives as his worth saw
ing, and are there not others like him,
just throwing away their lives, depriv-
ing the world of many years of splen-
did service because they do not stop
and think and remedy the trouble.
It's common sense, if anything is
the matter with your stomach or bow
els to drop everything at once and at
tend to it. You cannot work or think
well unless the stomach, the very seat
of your life and power, is right.
Seal BOefgrain is a pure food and no
food was ever brought to the attention
of man so nutritious, SO digestible so
grateful and soothing to the stomach
and bowels. 1t is small trouble and
nominal expense to prove this by a
trial.

Bros, and most of the grocers on

There is always fly in the ointment.
When there was doubt that Orange
street would be paved with the smooth
and guaranteed asphalt there was a
stir on that street such as has not often
been seen there. The influential inhab-
itants of the street made it very plain
that If their street were not paved
with asphalt the hand on the dial of
progress would go back with a sudden
and long jerk and stay back. They
got their smooth and their guaranteed
pavement, and as everybody knows, it
to bicyclers and to people who have
horses, including those who have
horses which they consider "steppers."
But the smooth and the guaranteed
pavement is not such an unalloyed joy
to the quiet and the recherche inhabi-
tants of Orange street as they expected
it to be- They do not think that it
ought to be used for a Sunday bicycle
rink, and if there is anything in the
conflict between bicycling and religion
they are right about it. They do not
think it ought to be illegally used for
a Sunday or weekday race-course, and
they do not think it ought to be legally
so used. And they are right about
that. The street isn't wide enough and
it is too thickly settled to be made a
legalized race-course. 1t is probably
too late to restore the ancient peace
and quiet to the street. The smooth
and the guaranteed pavement has made
that impossible. But the smooth and
the guaranteed pavement should be de-
voted to the safe use of the bicyclers
and all who have horses rather than to
the uncomfortable and dangerous use
of the few who have "steppers."

EXPERT TESTIMONY.

We have just had notable exhibition
of expert testimony in this city. In the
Ripple trial several learned and famous
gentlemen testified. Some of them said
mitted murder and the others said he
wasn't. Those who testified that he
was pleased and satisfied those who
hired them to so testify, and those who
said he wasn't also pleased and salts
fed those who hired them. OF course
we do not mean to intimate that any
or all of them were not honest in their
testimony or that any or all of them
We're influenced in what they said by
what they We're going to receive. We
simply wish to call attention to some
of the well known phenomena of expert
testimony.
There is some stir over expert testi-
mony in New York, where there have
recently been some remarkable exhibit
lions of it. The other day Recorder
Golf, in an address before the Medico-
Legal Society, denounced the present
method of presenting expert testimony
as a disgrace to law and justice The
Recorders earnest utterances clearly
reflected the feeling of the bench with
regard to this pernicious custom,
Representative members of the New
York bar have declared against it with
equal frankness, and now DR.. William
Hirsch, speaking from the medical
standpoint, condemns it in terms which
are creditable alike to himself and his
profession. The method of presenting
expert testimony, says DR.. Hirsch, is
all wrong. 1.-THE hypothetical question
so frequently used really proves moth
ing. One set of facts are put in the
question by one side, and the expert
says, Yes as is true enough. Another
and totally different set of facts are
put by counsel on the other side to his
expert. and the latter says, Yes, which
is also true, as he sees it."
1t is certain that expert testimony
doesn't have the weight with judges
and juries that such testimony ought
to have if it were what it ought to be-
The matter is a difficult one to deal
with. Some have advocated the ap-
pointment of experts by the State This
appointed didn't become too Jealous for
the State. AS the matter stands now
expert testimony is costly and dis
trusted.
