A southern man says the daisy was
never known in the south until after
the war. Now every part of it that
was visited by the Union army is COW
cred with daisies. Sherman brought
them to us" he said, land the march
to the sea can be followed in the sum
mer time by keeping where the daisy
grows. The seed seems to have beon
transported in the hay that was
brought along to feed the horses
This is the only explanation that has
ever been made of it."

Engines used in electric lighting are
required to run with great regularity.
An interesting device for detecting,
with extreme accuracy, any change OF
speed in such an engine is employed in
an Elizabethport factory. Two metal
plates are pierced with corresponding
Sits and placed one in front of the
other SO that, when the Sits are in
line, the spokes of the fy-wheel of tho
engine can be seen passing them. One
of the plates is caused to oscillate, by
means of an electromagnetic, at such
a rate that the two Sits are in line
every time spoke is passing. If there
are six spokes in the wheel, and the
wheel turns 400 times in minute, the
movable slit must oscillate 2,400 times
in minute. II the speed OF the en-
CINE is perfectly regular, spoke will
always be seen directly in line with the
Sits; If the speed varies the spoke
will appear ahead or behind its proper
place, according as the rate of the
wheels revolution is increased or di-
minished.

ENCOURAGEMENT or CRIME.
Unenvlable Fame of the Courts of
California.

California.
The California lawyers in their fight
for wealth or fame never let go case
until the last card, produced from
some hidden receptacle as a last re-
sort, is played. Neither are they at
loss to find something new to turn
up in the nick of time, so long as they
caa set a hearing in a case before some
judicial tribunal. so says the Walla
Walla (Oregcrl Union. The case of
Durrant, the double murderer of
is remarkable instance Of the tenac-
ity and inventive powers of San Fran
cisco lawyers. They have chung to the
convicted murderer through all the
mutations to which cases are subject
in courts, until the last final struggle
is for executive interference to prevent
the execution of a just sentence. The
pleas set up were principally those
that were urged before the courts and
overruled in seeking for new trial
The confession of Rosenberg, a convict
in the San Quentin prison, was the
latest card produced to bunco the gov
ernor. This convict declared that he
committed the murders, not Durrant.
1t had the appearance of a well-arrang-
ed but laundering job, as il is said
Rosenberg, according to his own con-
fession, did not arrive 70 San Fran
cisco until after The murders We're
committed. For ways that are dark
and devious to circumvent the Just
penalties which the laws prescribe for
the punishment of crime California is
entitled to the precedence. In that
state, as in others under the system
OF elective judges, there has been per-
mitted to grow up mass of legal tech
nicalities of the most trivial and nom
sensical kind and a system of legal
procedure which makes it an exceed
ingly expensive and difficult matter to
convict criminals charged with the
most heinous crimes against society.
In addition, Jurors are approached by
professional bribers or the jury Is
stuffed, barefaced perjury and subor-
nation of that crime and every scheme
of trickery and deceit are resorted to
by attorneys to bamboozle judges, ju-
Tors and the people. The more afro
cious the murder and more daring the
robbery, it would seem, the better is
the chance for the criminals escape
from the network of the law. The
most brutal fiend who commits the
boldest outrage against society, the
most savage and repulsive murderers
of women and children, seldom fails
to have his female, as well as male,
mawkish sympathiers to labor for his
acquittal or his pardon after convic-
ton. The history of the civil side of
the courts of California shows also a
lamentable state of public morals and
OF conscientious principles in the indi-
Yidual of right and wrong.

that today the average man is utterly

My! my! But you'll be glad when
they come back said Aunt Rosy. But

They went down stairs with long
faces, and neither of the children had
much appetite for their nice milk-toast
and baked apples.

your blessings and you don't even ask
me what the surprise is. We're going

But papa and mamma won't be

to laugh at them just then, but she
did.

II don't, either; she's dreadful" said
