The Courts Comment.

A Georgia Justice Of the peace, re-
lates Case and Comment, once took
upon himself to charge jury as fol-
lows: "Gentlemen, this Is 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. It also commented as
follows: .-..
"a justice Of the peace Is generally
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.sJustice 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? s>,..,ss-.,. -.

Unsuccessful Attempts to Convert
Them In EARLY Times.
In a report to the Chassis of Amster-
dam on the state of religion In the New
Netherlands in 1857, Rev. Johannes
Megapolensis and Rev. Samuel D1sins
made the following somewhat discour-
aging statement In regard to the ef-
forts to convert the Indians. It will
be noted that the conclusions arrived
at by the reverend gentlemen in the
first sentence Of the extract were In
the nature Of prediction which has
been completely fulfilled @*~.*=S =
"Of the conversion Of the heathens,
or Indians, here, we can say but little,
nor do we see any means thereunto
until by the numbers and power Of our
nation they are subdued and brought
under some policy and our people show
them better example than they have
hitherto done. .@':. "a

us full two years, so that he could read

him in the grounds Of religion. he also

work through him some good among
the Indians. But it all resulted in moth

Walking Correctly.

Many children are taught at home
and at school to walk on their toes.
This will do in sick room when one
has squeaking shoes, but it is not
natural or elegant Put the heels
down lightly at first and the toes last;
this keeps the body erect, instead Of
bending the body forward, as q per
son must who walks on his toes.
Walking should be more thoroughly
taught in our gymnastic schools. It
costs little to learn to walk correctly,
and it Is well worth while to spend a
little time to acquire the art. New

In the town OF Schramberg Ii the
Black Forest district Of Wurttemberg,
Germany, where one OF the chief In
dustries e clock making, there has
recently been established an interest
ing museum OF timepieces. The col
lection displays the gradual develop
ment In the making Of clocks FOR many
centuries.
!. Among the curiosites are many OF
great historical value. There is an
alarm clock constructed In the year
1880 for the use of travellers. In form.
It resembles q lantern and the Interior
e designed to hold q lighted candle.
The candle Is slowly pushed forward
by a spring, which also controls the
mechanism Of the clock. A little pair
Of shears clip the wick OF the candle
automatically every minute to regulate
It's light. The lantern is inclosed with
movable slides, SO that the sleeper is
not at first disturbed by the presence
OF light
The alarm Is set by inserting peg
In the second dial plate. When the
required hour arrives, the alarm is
sounded and at the same time the
movable slides fall, flooding the room
with light.
Among the cl1rtosities is a Japanese
saw clock. The clock itself produces
the motive power by descending
saw formed strip Of metal, the teeth of
which operate the wheel Of the clock
work. In another Japanese clock the
hand Ais attached to weight, which
sinks once in "a hours. The time is in
dicated by a hand on the perpendicular

Illusions That Deceive Men Have No.
Eject Upon Animals.
It's singular fact, z 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 I had what Is known.
as the Mystic Maze at the Nashville
exposition. It was simply a small room
filed with mirrors, so arranged that
you seemed to be In a narrow corridor,
full Of turns. It was very puzzHng,
and used to get lost IN 1t myself, but
It never bothered my dog moment.
He would run through 1t from end to
end at full speed and never bump
against 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. It 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. It lis
a good illusion, and when the room is
revolved rapidly there never was a
man who could keep his head In the
swing. It seems as If he must certain
~ pitch out, and If the motion is kept
up he gets deathly sick But pet cat
belonging to my friend used to lie on
the edge of the seat and never turn
hair, no matter how fast the thing was
worked.

HARD SCHOOLING.
The Pioneer of Colonial Days Was
Trained to Become a Man
! !" Of Iron, ffSs'@' :.

AS soon as pioneer boy was big
enough to level rifle, he was given
powder and ball to shoot squirrels.
After a'little practice he was required
to bring in as many squirrels as he had
received charges, under penalty of Sc
we're lecture, or even of having his jack
ct tanned" At the age of 10 the boy
became fort soldier, with loop-hole as
signed him from which to fight when
the settlers rallied against an Indian
foray. Growing older. he became a
hunter of deer, elk, buffalo, and bear,
skilled in trailing and in utilizing cover,
capable of enduring long marches
through trackless mountain forests. At
night he was content to curl up in a
single blanket beside small fire, and
sleep under the roof of heaven. If it
rained, in a few minutes he built him a.
lodge of bark or boughs, with no imple-
ment but his one-pound tomahawk. In
cessant war with the Indians taught
him to be his own general, to be ever on
the alert, to keep his head and shoot
straight under fire. Pitted against an
enemy who gave no quarter, but tor
tured the living and scalped the dead,
he became himself stanch fighter who
never surrendered. The wilderness
bred men of iron, and probably con-
tanned greater number of expert rifle
men than could now be mustered in all
America.-Harper's Magazine.

happily effected. A scabbard and hilt

AT=THE srtLE.

Adown the grassy lane she came
And loitered 1T the stile-t
(Her grandmamma did just the same
There many years erstwh1le)-
The sole stile hereabout, l wis. a.. s.
For now are walls to climb:
Yet such g. goodly style as this.
Why did it change with timer
No satin slippers then she wore.
No green calash, no shawl,
No fichu primly crossed before,
No powdered wig at all:
Yet still she dimpled on the stils
AS grandma did, they say; - y
Tho styles may change, maiden's smile
Is just as sweet to-day.
Then Marjorie looked up at me,
And looked down at her,
The while upon the stile sat we
AS once her grandfolks were.
And then spoke their old, old phrase
And named sweet, fond name
Tho stiles have changed since ancient
days,
One style remains the same!
