s25o.ooo for One word.

What would Fou think if you could make $250,000 by speaking a single word? Hon. William NJ. Evarets, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, once received the enormous fee of $25O,. GOO for legal opinion be expressed in just one word of thyee letters.
 A great corporation desired legal opinion on a matter involving millions of dollars, for upon 1t practically de- pended that corporations very exist ence. They decided to refer the ques- ton, which was wholly one of the cor :ect interpretation of law, to William M. Evarts, and to he guided wholly by his opinion. Their lawyer stated their case to the Senator, and asked him the important question. Evarts' reputa- tion and success are wholly due, not as cross-examiner or conductor e cases, but simply to his remarkable knowledge of law and his power, which seems almost like intuition, of deter mining just how the Supreme Court will decide any question of law.
 When the attorney for the great cor poration put his question, so yitally important to that corporations exist ence, Evarts sat buried in thought for a minute, and then answered in one word, Yes" His bill for the one word was s250,000, and the corporation paid it without a murmur. Evarts' answer proved to be correct.
 Life of Uncertainty.
 When a person builds house in Manila he must decide first whether he prefers death and destruction by earth quake or typhoon. If he wants to die by the earthquake method he builds a masonry house. which tumbles down on him when the earth quakes. If he prefers death by typhoon, he builds a bamboo house. The earthquake doesn't affect it, but the typhoon moves it over into Mindanao. As Manila gets both typhoons and earthquakes the choice is imperative.

The Condor of tho Andes.

The huge condor of the Andes flies
the highest. 1t lifts itself to height
where no sound is heard, save the airy
tread of it's vast pinions, and from an
unseen point surveys in solitary grand
eur the wide range of plain and pas
ture land. Humboldt mentions the
flight of the condor in the mountains
of Chilli, and among the Cordilleras Of
South America. When up among these
mountains, at an altitude of $4,000 feet.
he observed these wondrous birds sail
ing in circles for hours together, so
high above him that they appeared but
just discernible as minute specks in
the sky. This, when We consider their
immense compass of wings (extending
as some authority says, sometimes
from fourteen to fifteen feet from tip
to tip, shows to what an amazing ele-
walton these birds attain. Calculating
trigonometrically, Humboldt consid-
cred that they could not be less than
10000 feet to $4,000 feet above sea
level, and it has been asserted that
the condor sometimes attains an alti-
tude of six miles. The condor lays two
eggs during the months of November
or December. The young are covered
with a whitish' down, and are unable
to fly for a whole year.

Diuerent Generations.
1t was a very hot afternoon on the
Southeastern railway, says the Acad-
envy. In the carriage were two ladies'
who were young and happy, lady
who was elderly and apparently single,
and little girl. At Orplngton there
entered tall, fresh, loose-limbed boy,
OF 10 or so, carrying surveying poles
and large basket, who took the seat
opposite the two ladies, who were
young AS the train painted along and
the carriage became more and more

growing restless and nervous. Twice
or thrice he made as II to speak and
each time thought better OF It, and
then, suddenly reaching out the bas-

OF them with a tlmid eye: Would

couldn't eat them ALL you know, and

Strawberries and he was quickly as
sured that his request was not an
impertinence. He then turned to the
little girl, who no sooner observed his
intention that she crossed over to the
basket side, and, seating herself within
range of the fruit, saved him further
trouble. To the elderly lady, how
ever, he had to repeat his invitation.
Frigidly accepting 1t, she took two
strawberries from the basket with
much ceremony. At New Cross the
boy gathered together his property
and jumped out. What a dear boy"
said one of the two friends. The lit
tie girl looked wistfully after him.

OUR SCOTCH INDIANS.

Signs OF the Infusion of Blood from
Across Sea In Cherokee Veins.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat: Chero-
KEGS come well by their stubbornness,
their shrewdness and their love of
controversy. AS Indians they had these
traits to begin with. AS the result OF
strong infusion OF Scotch blood they
added to the strength OF the character
istics. 1t Is Scotch history that after
the battle OF Culloden many Scotchmen
left their native land rather than ac-
cept English sovereignty. 1t Is Cher
okee history that numbers OF these
sturdy Scots found homes and wives
with the Cherokee Nation before the
enforced migration Of the tribe from
Georgia to the Indian Territory. John
Ross was one Of these Scotch exiles
who accepted Cherokee citizenship He
became chief and was given the name
OF "Coo-is-coo-ee." When the nation
moved to the territory one of the dis
tricts into which the reservation was
divided for government purposes was
named "Coo-is-coo-e Ross founded
n family which became powerful in
Cherokee councils. He and his son were
frequent visitors to Washington and
had much to do with the treaty maxi
ing which gave to the NATHAN the
strong legal position 1t holds in It's
relation with the United States. Al
descendant Of Ross, the Scotch exile,
Is one OF the officers of the nation to-
day. The Adairs are another infuen-
tial Cherokee clan established by a
| Scotchman who came over after the
battle Of Culloden. AS the descendants
OF Adair by his Cherokee wife grew up
they were sent away to American col
| leges and given the best Of opportuni-
ties for education. McNair is another
OF the familiar Scotch names introduce
ed into the Cherokee Nation by this
Scotch infusion. The McNair who
came over after Culloden was High
lander. One of his descendants lives
on a magnificent estate Of 1,500 acres
| In the beautiful valley OF the Grand
river. Duncan Is another Scotch name
found among the Cherokees. The head
and front OF the Cherokee opposition
to American citizenship Is a Duncan,
whose claim to Cherokee citizenship
would not be guessed by any physical
characteristics. He is Scotch In looks
and Scotch in his love of controversy.

BURROWING ANIMALS.
somo Dig Holes for the Love OF tho
Thing.

Thing.
Ventilation, or rather the want of It,
must be difficulty in the underground
life of almost all mammals. The rab-
bit and the rat secure a current of air
by forming a bolt hole in connection
with their system of passages, but the
fox. the badger, and many of the field
notes and mice seem Indifferent to any
such precaution. There Is no doubt
that whatever gave the first impulse to
burrow, many animals look upon this
to us most unpleasant exertion as a
form OF actual amusement. 1t also
confers a right to property. Prairie
dogs constantly set to work to dig holes
merely for the love OF the thing. II
they can not have a suitable place to
exercise their talent in they will gnaw

these do not multiply or maintain their
numbers like the burrowing mice and
voles. BIT the fact that there are
members OF very closely allied species,
some of which do burrow, while others
do not, seems to indicate that the habit
is an acquired one. In this connection
those which do not burrow at
other times form burrows In
which to conceal and protect
