THE COURT WAS THIRSTY.
So It overruled the Supreme Court
 and Bought Itself a Drink.


 and Bought Itself a Drink.
 Just as Shakespeare has been ac- cepted for years and years as the de- ciding umpire in most matters literary, so the Nebraska people had grown to look upon the supreme court of their state as the fountain head of wisdom, whose opinions could not be gainsaid. It is way people have of regarding supreme courts in most states, as mat ter of fact.
 William Alstadt, a little German, whose readiest identification among his people was by the name of Bis marck," was not one who cared over day, after having been harangued by two lawyers until he was almost burst ing with thirst, he made a decision which brought him fame. It does not make any especial difference what was the question at issue. It was something about dog. There was sensible side to it and technical side. The tech nicals lawyer presented bushels and tons of authorities, and finally wound up with triumphant declaration that the supreme court Fad decided on 8 similar case before and had ieeiaed his way. -s
 When he sat down, Bismarck. with sigh of relief, said T decide for de oder feller. Come on, poys, let's dake 6 drink"
 But" cried the defeated lawyer, in astonishment, T tell you, your honor, that the supreme court has decided ex- actly opposite"
 My frient," said Bismarck. "in shen- cral 1 haf some sympathies init dot subreme court. But on hot day, init a fool of a lawyer dalkin' four hours, I am mofed to consult der good sense and shudgment of Bill Alstadt, J. P. Bill Alstadt is not only convinced, but he is dirsty, and he decides dat if der subreme court of Nebrasky wants to make tam fool of itself in question like dis it can do so, but dot aint bind ing on dis shustice shop. Der subreme court is hereby oferruled. Der plain tiff gifts ter dog, and der court will now proceed to spend der fees in dis case in a way dot his shudicial thirst sug- gests, init great gordiality. Come on, poys."
 Thus it was that the supreme court was overruled, and as a plain state l ment of fact Justice Bill Alstadt's de 1 cision has always been followed in sim liar cases brought in Nebraska tri- | bnnals. In the same way the half true l Shakespearean sucking dove theory is susceptible of revision or reversal Chicago Record.

SAVING BEAuTIFoL VIEWS.
Ffeturesque Sites Prepared for the
 PeOple's Enjoyment.

Gardens excepted, there are no out ward manifestations of the. old poetry of Japanese life So remarkable as those summer houses occupying all the pic turesque sites of the country. Wher- ever there is view worth going to see you will almost certainly find 8 sum- mer house built to command il, no mat ter how wild or poor the district. You will find summer houses clinging to sea cliffs over the thunder of breakers; nestling in shadows of gorges over the roaring of rapids; strutted out over the precipice-fropts like eagles nests, at. the rerge of dead craters For in Japan there win always be summer guests wherever there is summer beauty travellers happy to please their eyes and rest their feet. and 10 leave some coppers in payment for the privilege of she vision ard the repose
 The sunm F house at which am now staying is typical of the class; a skele- ton structure of two stories, simply and strongly built after the manner of peasants' dwellings and at a cost of per haps S6o, Timber is cheap here; on the other side of Japan such a building could not be put up for $500. It stands on the edge of lofty cliff and over looks a little bay near ancient Moino- seh. From ground floor to roof it is open on three sides; and on the seaward side shelter from the sun and wind is given by trees rooted in the cliff be- low, but towering far above the caves enormous pines. with branches many feet in girth. Between the zigzags of those mighty limbs there are glimpses of the sea and fishing sails (canvas or straw) fitting like white or yellow but terflies, and the far pale threadline of the Hoki coast and Diasen's cone thrusting into the clear sky. like some prodigious blue crystal. Or, looking directly down over the needle foliage of younger pines, you see the wimpling of the bay and bathers laughing among the rocks, and children playing. with seaweed and shells. You view the world as fish hawk views it-though presume with vastly different sensa- tions. After swim it is delightful to sleep here, the sharp sweet sea wind in your hair. You are furnished with a bathing dress, sandals, big straw hat of curious shape to keep off the sun, barley tea and cakes, 8 smoking box and a pillow; and the price per day of this entertainment is = three centsl The guest is expected to bring his own food with him, and to provide himself efth toweis.--Lafcadio Hsarne, in At iantie Monthly.

Make the. box to suit the size of the window. 4 sofa to stand in another part of the room may also be made like box. Divide it into compartmentssso that you can put papers and other things in the different spaces. Both should have castors. The window-seat may be at least six inches higher than the sofa. The top may be upholstered, padded with excelsior, hair or cotton, and then covered with dark mixed material. Any of the Turkish cotton goods or the new ticking" will answer the purpose.

Nautilus EgRa.

The youngest student of geology or fossil hunter knows what an ammonite is, but perhaps he does not know that the only living representative of the very large family of ammonites is the pearly nautilus, an interesting crea- ture allied to the cuttlefsh, about the growth of which in it's younger stages hitherto little has been known. In order to study the subject more completely, Dr., Arthur Wiley, of University col lege, London, sailed for the South seas. 2H years ago, in search of the eggs of the pearly nautilus, and it has recently been reported to the Royal society under whose auspices the research has been undertaken-that after consid- erable trouble and by the construction of the submarine cage, in which speci- mems of the nautilus were fed daily. 9 number of eggs had been secured. Each egg is as large as a grape, and is de posted separately. It is necessary, in order to understand the structure and manner of construction of the beauti- ful chambered growth of the nautilus, that the gradual growth of the young in the egg should be carefully observed, and doubtless by now the hitherto blank page in the book of knowledge has been filled in.-Chambers' Journal.

DANGERS OF NERVES.
Ny Which the Women of To-Day Ar
 naeo4

Besot
 1t used to be matter of faith, years ago, that we possessed nerves, for we were unconscious of them. Nowadays. however, they have become of most vital importance; they are, SO to sI.sa1s, household petz.1 IL seems that stem per- has gone out of fashion; so far, at least, us we are concerned, and, though it is possible to admit that our neigh bors may suffer from attacks of temper, we never do-no, we have .'nerves.' ' There is sort of necessary dignity about the possession of nerves, though we own they cause us trouble. We speak in quite reproaehful way of "a woman who has no nerves" just as if this meant the same as that she is with out refinement and tenderness. s E! Nerves are, however, dangerous pets, for they are apt to become our masters. Indeed, to nerves are inscribed the un- wholesome craving for excitement, the morphia habit and the excessive use of stimulants among women, as well as variety of other evils. Nerves, no doubt, would be kept in check better if only we were simpler. Japanese wom- en are charmingly serene and good tempered, and their freedom from nerv- ous troubles may be largely ascribed to the absence of small worries in mat ters domestic. They are saved worries about dress, for the fashion of their costume never varies, and the absence of draperies and crowds of ornaments economies money and greatly saves labor, as any housekeeper could tel who knows the fret and irritation oi keeping these things pretty and fret from dust in an under servanted" es ] tablishment.-Boston Budget.

Hitting Power of the ocean.

Landsmen who are slow to realize the tremendous force of the sea had an object lesson ashore in this city the other day, when five large tanks, built to contain 120,000 pounds of soap, but temporarily filled with water, and sta toned on the fourth floor of large building in New York city, collapsed and completely wrecked the whole structure, killing three men and doing e Iargc auoaat of damage The tanks were each Is feet high and about l3 feet in diameter, and contained 161 ,703 pounds of water, but the floors and supporting beams proved altogether inadequate to stand the strain. A wave of the dimensions of one of these tanks is not at all unusual at sea, and when such wave breaks on vessels deck the force of the blow can only be es- timated by the amount of damage it does in spite of the elasticity of the water beneath the vessel to ease her in receiving the shock. When the city firemen state that the stream from a hose under 50 pounds pressure will cut through an ordinary brick wall, the force of the sea in gale may be, per haps, better imagined.-Marine Jour nal.

Quick Curing Cheese.

The following observations ancnt
the procuring OF Quick-curing
cheese are made in bulletin issued
by the Ontario agricultural college.
The bulletin, IL may be explained,
was issued for the benefit Of -actery
authorities.
/. Accept nothing but pure. sweet
milk.
2. Heat to SO degrees and then
make a rennet test.
3. Set the milk when the rennet
test is about Is seconds, or at suffic-
lent ripeness so that the curd VIII
dip" In about two and half hours.
4. Use sufficient rennet to coagulate
the milk in about twenty minutes.
This will require from three to four
ounces of standard rennet. (Be sure
that your rennet Is all rightD
s. Do no cut more than three times
unless the milk Is over ripe. Retain
plenty of moisture in spring curds for
an early market Our spring cheeses
are usually too dry and harsh.
6. Heat slowly to SO degrees-noi
above this temperature, as 1t is deslr-
able to retain moisture.
z. Dip at the first appearance OF
acid. II the acid does not show on the
hot iron, use the alkali test. Do not
leave the curd in the whey more than
three hours, even If the hot iron indi-
Gates mo acid" II you test with the
alkali you will find plenty OF acid at
the end of three hours, provided the
temperature is kept up to SO degrees.
The hot iron is not always reliable at
this point.
s. Mill early-as soon as the curd
becomes meaty and shows about one
inch on the hot iron.
8. Hand-stir sufficiently to improve
flavor, but not enough to lose all the
moisture.
10. Salt at the rate Of about two
pounds to 1000 pounds OF milk, and
before the grease runs too freely. AL
low the curds to stand longer in the
salt. You will thus save butter fat
and will not be troubled with greasy"
curds. Many are sacrificing a good
deal of butter fat for the sake OF get.
ting a "close" cheese.
IL. Keep the temperature of the
curing room at about 70 degrees, and
thus hasten the curing.
IL. DO not allow a cheese to go
into the curing room which is not
nicely finished, nor one to leave it I'M
til it is at least two weeks old. Not
a few are running their reputation by
shipping curd to their customers. The
writer heard of a case this spring
where cheese was made on Saturday
and shipped the following Tuesday.
Such practice cannot be too strongly
condemned.
ID. To sum up: In order to obtain
fat, meaty, quick-curing cheese which
will be fit to eat in about a month
after making, use plenty of good rem
net; leave sufficient moisture in the
curd; salt lightly; keep the tempera-
ture of the curing room up to 20 de-
grees, night and day; and keep the
cheese in the curing room for at least
two weeks.
