EVEN THE WORM TURNS.
The Judge Thought There Were Linn
its DeyOnd which No Man
Gould BE Patient.

He was a plain man, neatly dressed,
and might have been anything from
dry goods clerk to a merchant in q
small way, and there was no more evil
expression in his eye than a man buy
ing pound Of butter. Yet there it was
on the doclfet-"aggravated assault"
And there was the victim with his head
tied up, both eyes in mourning and the
general air of one who has gone
through q sawmill.
"Yer honor" said tho policeman, 'he
he'd tn man by tn throat, an wuz
choldn' IN breath out of him. 1t TUX
me main strength to pull him off,"
what have you 10 say for yourself?"
said the justice, sternly, while he pre-
pared to put down "slx months"
1T was this way, your honor" said
the little man, who looked scared. but
spoke up pretty confidently for all that.
Il only knew this man slightly, and
when be met me just nodded, but he
began to talk about the war"
do you mean TO say that he is a
sympathizer with Spain?" demanded
the justice, glaring at thebandaged man.
'No. it wasn't that. We both agreed
that Weyler ought to DO burned at the
stake, and If we hadn't both had fami-
les we would go tomorrow. Then the
talk drlfted to our families. and he be-
gan to tell me about the smart remark
made by his elght-year-old boy, who.
when he heard Of the sailing Of the feet,
said"
II understand" said the justice.
hastily, preparing TO wrhe the magic
word discharged" on the record.
"Then you hit hlm?"
"No," replied the prisoner, smilingly,
Il have boy of six, and ifyour honor
would like 10 hear a little thing he got
Off the other day about"
"The court IS rather pressed for time
just now" said the justice, hastily.
Come to the point, please"
well, after we had talked about 20
minutes on family affairs, tried 10
give him the shake, but he hung right
on 10 me until we came TO the corner
Of my street. Then I told him. that my
dinner was getting cold, and he said
good-by, and thought he was gone,
but be came running back, an 4 caught
me by the coat, and asked mel a ques-
tion."
"Still more family affairs?'
mo, your honor. He wantedfto know
my opinion as 10 what date be TWEEN
tieth century began on. Then beat
in his face, and I think wo uld have
done him up If the policeman hadn''
appeared
Discharged" said the justice. "Call

FEATHERS OF GREAT PRICE.
Rare Plunder from Birds-Invoice OF
Aierettes Worth over Five
MILLION Refs.

Many curious things go through the
appraisers stores, and some of the
most interesting through the Fifth di-
vision, where millinery goods are ex-
nmined and appraised. All sorts of
birds and feathers are examined by this
division. Within n few days several
large boxes were examined, each con-
taining something like 500. stuffed par
oquets. A box was opened this week
in which IL was estimated there were
nearly 5000 Japanese swallows. These
little birds are caught by the Japanese
in immense numbers by means of nets.
Their plumage is very plain, but their
wings, which are extraordinarily long,
make them especially valuable to mil
liners. The birds when imported are
rudely stuffed with cotton, and each
one is made up into a little roll about
the size and shape of an ordinary cigar.
Before being used they are twisted into
various shapes and dyed, the wings
spread and new feathers added, and
they are made into gay and fancy
birds.
The most valuable kind of feather
goods that passes through the apprais-
er's hands is undoubtedly the aigrette.
This feather is worth more than its
weight in gold. The aigrette is OBJ
tained from a bird called the egret,
found in China, Japan, Egypt and South
America. and sometimes in Florida.
Some of these feathers come directly
from South America, where, along the
upper waters Of the Amazon, the In
dians shoot the birds with blow tubes
and small arrows. But Paris is the
market Of the world for aigrettes, just
as London Is for ostrich plumes, and
the greatest part of the imports come
directly from the French capital. With
In the past two months aigrettes to the
value Of $4,000 have been imported.
There are two varieties of aigrette
the long and the short, and their value
Is in Inverse proportion to their size
The short variety, which is obtained
from a smaller bird, is extremely deli.
cate and fine, and Is worth from So
to S25 per ounce. Only a few feathers
IN each bird are valuable, and IL Is es
timated that 80 or 60 birds would hav,
10 DC hllltu 10 ODNdlh hu ouASc "a hh'
shorter aigrette. The long aigrette 81
worth not much moro than half a
much.
These feathers are looked after a.
carefully by the appraisers as are pre-
cious stones. They are imported In sol
dered tin boxes, and are locked M
und guarded until they are examined
They are invoiced In the Brazilian uni
of value, reis, which is very small, s.
that figures giving the value of th'
imports are often startllngly large
One importation Of these feathers wa
recently invoiced TO tho value OF $3.50
coo rels, an amount which In American
gold is equal to about Sioo.-N. Y. MAJ

FASHION NOTES.
Items About Dress for Ladies' Who
Keep Pace with the
Times-

There are shown very handsome
assortment of poke bonnets. They are
not extremely large, but are very styl-
lsh; aud, although but very few women
find them becoming, they will undoubt-
edly be quite generally worn on ac-
count of their picturesqueness and real
beauty. They are made over frame,
the brim being put on smoothly on the
outside. The inside is of shirred crepe,
chiffon or lisse. One of these bonnets
Is of heliotrope velvet on the outside
and inside an exquisite shade of tea
rose pink. The trimming is Of hello
trope feathers and bows Of heliotrope
ribbon with pansies that look as though
they might have been brought from the
florists for this special purpose.
One of the most stylish cepes of the
season has yoke Of brocaded velvet in
brown and wood colors. The figures
on the velvet are outlined with beads,
and the leaves are veined with a deli
cate tracery of iridescent threads.
From this yoke frill Of broadcloth falls
TO the waist line. This frill is wrought
IN the same beads as those in the yoke.
At the lower edge Of this cloth portion
there is a triple frill of taffeta in the
three shades Of the brocade. This frill
has pinled edges and is set on with
gimp made of fine iridescent beads.
There is but little in the new shirt
waists that differ from those hereto.
fore worn. In general effect they are
quite the same. Yokes may be varied II
shape and collars show some slight
changes, but not enough to attract the
attention of anyone but an expert. A
trihing departure is the round collar
turned over straight band. This is
new and makes variety which is always
liked, especially by young people wh'
are fond of dressy waists and novelties
In the item Of shoulder capes, fluff
ness and an enormous amount Of thin
material divide favor with clotl
trimmed with embroidery and passe
menterie. A pretty model has yols
Of brocaded satin, the figures Of whicl
are outlined bead embroidery. From
the yoke are deep rufiles of taffeta anC
over these are frills Of silk muslin
headed by puffs of the same. A higl
haring collar Is finished at the edg
with puffs of muslin.
A princess Of heliotrope velvet open
over a petticoat front Of yellow satil
emboidered with pearls. The edge o
the velvet princess is finished with
deep frill extending from the waist lin
in front, down either side and aroun
the hem Of the dress. The garment wa
: fashioned upon the suggestion fur
{ nished by large purple rufled-edge'
pansy, and is most admirably carrie
out.

assist one in avoiding the worthless

given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence Of Its remedy. It is

as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
