There is a little retrfbutive justice that

the spoiler is sometimes spoiled in busi-
ness relations. In an article entitled
"Made in Japan" the Pail Mall Gazette
shows how nations have encroached
upon one another's business, and
reaped for time rich harvest, only
to see the same tactics employed by a
rival people, and be forced to stand

In old times the Dutch, by importing
English clay, made "a good profit out Of
limitations of Chinese porcelain, and
presently the Dutch product became es-
tablished in the markets of the world
as Delft ware.
But the Dutchman was no more Sc
cure in his profitable trade than had
been his predecessor, the Chinaman.
The English potters took to copying the
Dutch patterns, and sold their pottery
much cheaper, and the north of Eng
land became headquarters for the Delft
china.
Again, however, the spoiler has been
spoiled. OF late the japanese have made
themselves masters of the art of repro
ducing the patterns best liked in Eng
land, and have begun to encroach on the
domain long monopolized by the Eng
lish potter. The Japanese product ia
finer and stronger. and above all cheap

lost brother. now restored to his rea

The rest OF my story can now be
briefly told. I brought William Tur-

his part to perfection. He was in an

ly, and before Turpin was aware of
his presence he said:
"Well, Cousin Turpin, how dare
you enter my fathers houses"
The effect of these words was
simply wonderful. Turpin turned
around like flash, and when his
eyes encountered those of his sup
posed victim he fairly shrieked, "My
God, how came you here's" then he
made dash for the door, and l
pounced on him like a tiger on its
prey.
He was quickly rendered power
less. MIR. Marshfeld, without unde-
ceiving the villain, asked him why he
did SO da1nning deed. and he whin-

This ruse was effectual; Turpin

But Mr.. Marshfeld kept his word;
William Turpin was not prosecuted,

THE GLOUCESTER CASE.

Anent the contention of Mr.. Catlett, of
the Board Of Supervisors of Gloucester
county, that no other Governor than the
present one had claimed the right to zap
point" a county judge to fill a vacancy,
we find the following of record:
June II. 1898.
Hon. II. w. Flournoy. Secretary Com
monwealth of Virginia:
Dear Sr,--Please issue commission to
Hon. w. w. Moffett, of Salem, Va. to be
judge of the County Court of Roanoke.
vice Hon. Wingfield Griffin, resigned. to
hold the regular terms of the County
Court of Roanoke until the vacancy be
filled. Very truly yours,
p. w. MKINNEY, Governor.
Mr.. Moffett is the County Judge of Roa-
noke TO this day, having been elected
by the Legislature at the expiration of
his pro tempore appointment.
We understood that the then Governor
also took similar action in reference to
the Alexandria judgeship, and of late the
right of the Governor either to appoint
or designate" has not been seriously
questioned. Hence. our Supreme Court
of Appeals has never passed upon the
point. But II the Board of Supervisors
of Gloucester county continues to with
hold the pay OF Judge Taliaferro, we
should not wonder II the members Of that
board do not have the opportunity of
testing the whole question under habeas
corpus proceedings.

United States Consul German, OF Zu-
rich. under date of July 10, 1897 calls the
attention of the department to an article
appearing in the Weekly Scotchman IN
regard to the anti-yenomous properties
Of the bile of serpents. Experiments with
the bile of the African cobra. the pun
adder. and the rattlesnake, it was stated
at a meeting of the Royal Society of Edin-
burgh. showed that the bile, when mixed
with the venom of serpents, was able to
prevent lethal doses of the latter from
producing death. Although nontoxic in
the alimentary canal, the bile salts and
pigments acted as poisons when injected
under the skin or into blood vessel. 1t
was improbable, the article continued,
that bile in its natural form could be used
as an antidote. except by internal ad-
ministration or by application TO the
wound caused by snake bite. The re-
port has been referred to the United
States Marine Hospital Service.
