A Georgia justice of the peace, re-
lates Case and Comment, once took
upon himself to charge a jury as fol-
lows: Gentlemen, this is n case which
has been tried by me before. and de-
cided in favor of the defendant" AS
the jury took the hint and found for
the defendant, just as the justice had
done before. although the evidence was
overwhelmingly in favor of the plain
tiff the higher court refused to let the
verdict stand. 1t also commented as
follows:
"a justice of the peace is generally
a man of consequence in his neighbor-
hood. He writes the wills, draws the
deeds and pulls the teeth of the peo-
pie: also he performs divers surgical
operations on the animals Of his neigh
bors. The justice has played his part
on the busy stage of life from the time
of Mr.. Justice Shallow down to the
time of Mr.. Justice higgins. Who has
not seen the gaping, listening crowd
assembled around his honor, the JUS
tice. on tiptoe to catch the words of
wisdom as they fell from his venerated
lips?

A Strange Marriage Custom.

1t was an old idea that a husband,
whose wife at her marriage was cloth
ed only in a sheet, or in the most ele-
mentary linen garment, was not in any
way liable for the debts previously
contracted by her. Our parish regis
tiers and local traditions give us ample
Illustrations of this quaint idea. At
Chiltern All Saints, Wiltshire, is the
foIowing entry: John BridmOre and
Anne Selwood We're married October
18th, 1T14, the aforesaid Anne SelwOod
was married in her smOck, without any
clothes or headgier on" Similar cases
occurred at GOrton Green in 1I3S, at
hton-under-Lyne in 1111, and at OF
ley in 1908.
The latest example of which the
present writer knows comes from Lin
colnshire. The register of Gedney has
this commonplace entry: Dec. 2nd,
1912, David Wilkinson. full age. bache-
lor, laborour, of Gedney," to "Susan
Farran, full age, widow, of Gedney."
Local tradition supplements this brief
account by relating that the bride was

BACKSLlOlNG INDIANS.
UnsuccessfuI Attempts to Convert
Them In Early Times.

In a report to the claSsis of AmSter-
dam on the state of religion in the New
Netherlands in 1867, Rev. Johannes
MegapOlenSis and Rev. Samuel DrisinS
made the following somewhat discOur-
aging statement in regard to the eff

be noted that the conclusions arrived
at by the reverend gentlemen in the

the nature of n prediction which has
been completely fulfilled:

and write good Dutch. We instructed
him in the grounds of religion. He also
answered publicly in the church and
repeated the prayers. We likewise pre-
sented him with a Bible in order to
work through him some good among
the Indians. But it all resulted in moth

Clean Barber shops.

There is not the slightest doubt that
the average barber shop is a means Of
disseminating many affections which a
little attention to asepsis could easily
prevent. Many forms of alOpecia are
due to parasitic organisms which are
probably acquired most frequently
through the unclean interventions of
the barber. Some ready method of dis
injecting his tools of trade should be
devised and its use thoroughly en-
forced. The towels should invariably
be boiled after use, instead of the per-
functory dampening and ironing which
is commonly employed. If such meas
ures were taken and insisted on. under
suitable penalty, trichophytosis and
kindred ailments would become rare
indeed and our dermatOlogists would
miss many of the most annoying and
persistent affections which they are
now compelled to treat.-Internation

Illusions That Deceive Men Have No
Eject Upon Animals.

Its a singular fact" said a man in
the show business, that illusions, as
we call 'em. don't fool animals. I've
seen that proved over and over again.
A few years ago | had what is known
as the Mystic Maze at the Nashville
exposition. 1t was simply a small room
filed with mirrors, so arranged that
you seemed to be in a narrow corridor.
full of turns. 1t was very puZZling,
and l used to get lost in it myself, but
it never bothered my dog a moment.
He would run through it from end to
end at full speed and never bump
against a mirror.
Il saw something on the same line
In Frisco not long ago. A friend of
mine had an illusion called The
Haunted Swing You get in what
seems to be an ordinary swing, hung in
the center of good sized room, and the
thing begins to move. 1t goes back
and forth and finally clear over the top
that is to say, it seems to. What
really turns around is the room itself.
The swing stands perfectly still. 1t IS
good Illusion. and when the room is
revolved rapidly there never was a
man who could keep his head in the
swing. 1t seems as if he must certain
ly pitch out, and if the motion is kept
up he gets deathly sick. But a pet cat
belonging to my friend used to lie on
the edge of the seat and never turn a
hair. no matter how fast the thing was
worked.

A writer in Nature speaks of the
cruel medical tyranny which banishes
the strawberry from the diet of the
gouty and quotes what Linnaeus Lad
to say about the curative properties of
this delightful fruit. This great nat
uralist was persuaded to take strawber-
ries during a severe attack of sciatica,
with the result that n sweet sleep en-
sued and when he awoke the pain had
sensibly subsidized. On the next day he
ate as many Strawberries as possible,
and on the following morning the pain
was gone and he was able to leave his
bed. Gouty pains returned at the same
date in the next year, but they were
dispersed as soon as Linnaeus was able
to get strawberries.
Although strawberries are forbidden
to the gouty by some authorities, by
others they are permitted, the fruit be-
ing regarded as useful food for
gouty persons on account of its rich
ness in the salts of potash, soda and
lime and its cooling, diuretic and laXa-
tive qualities. The analysis of the
strawberry shows it to be particularly
rich in soda salts, and in spite of the
high percentage of water this fruit
excels all other common fruit in the
amount of mineral salts. The chem
istry of the strawberry. therefore.
would teach that this fruit is likely to
be beneficial in gouty states.-Lancet.

est among those who know of it's ex-
istence. Its peculiarity is that every
year il has been changed to show the
changes which time would have made
in the original. The portrait Is by a
Washington artist and is that of his
wife and was painted many years ago
when she was a young bride. few
years after the portrait was painted
the young wife died, and so great was
the grief of the artist that he deter
mined to keep her likeness with him
all the time, and to do so he decided
that year by year he would change the
portrait so as TO make 1t grow old with
him.
Every year. on the anniversary of
his wedding day. the artist locked him.

of the face of the portrait, adding what
he thought would make the difference
of one year. There have been many
anniversaries of that marriage day
and consequently many changes in the
portrait. Today the picture Is that OF
an old woman. the hair turned gray
the face wrinkled and pale, but still
beneath the marks of time, as made
by the brush of the artist. can be seen

wife, so that she had a chance to
spread herself in preparing the meal.
1t was a swell dinner, bOunteOus and
dainty, and the New York man waded
into it with the appetite of rescued
whaler. From soup to nuts he was
right there. He ate like piano NOV

the dishes, and he wasn't baShful
about the wines either. When finally
1t was all over and he had encircleI
