A MISERLY COUNTESS.
One of Roumania's Ola Mobility Who
Though Immensely Rich Lived
IN SqunIor.

The Bucharest correspondent of the
London Daily Mail says that n most
extraordinary character lately died in
Jassey, namely, Countess Balsch. one of
the last OF the old Roumanian nobility,
all titles, except some few compli-
mentary ones, having been abolished
since the declaration OF independence
after the Russo-Turkish war.
The old countess, although extreme
ly rich, was an inyeterate miser, and
hardly spent a penny, except in de-
Tending a lawsuit which her only
daughter, a widow and an extreme In
valid, who had incurred the countess
displeasure by marrying without her
consent, had started against her, claim
ing but 800 francs monthly 70 live on.
On this she spent thousands until the
death OF her unhappy daughter at a
hospital in Paris brought the case to a
close
When the authorities entered the
dead countess dwelling 70 take posses
sion of her property, they discovered,
secreted in numberlcss Impossible
places, no less than i,Gl0.c00 francs, a
quarter OF a million being in Napoleons
and ducats. While making a final in
ventory, they found, hid in n bundle OF
old moth-eaten curtains box contain
ing another 10000 francs. so that the
entire amount left by this extraordi-
nary woman amounts to 1,650,00o
francs.
Numberless little cheap note books
were also found in which the eccentric
being had noted down every half-penny
spent Some books devoted TO her law
expenses were headcs Cost OF proc
ess against that beastly and poisonous

IL Was Given 20 sick Cow In Penn
sylvantn and with GOOD
Results.

A reporter who spent Christmas
among the Pennsylvania Germans OF
Lancaster county discovered what viii

production OF old Lancaster and a
staple article of food. says the Pitts
burgh Times. lie had called 10 see an
old friend who keeps dairy and found
the dairyman In the act OF taking great
lunches OF sueculent cabbage from a
barrel In the cellar. The odor prevailed
the neighborhood and made glad the
nostris of every true and loyal Penn
sylyania "Dutchman" within distances
OF about half mile.
The reporter was astonished when
the dairyman picked up bucketful Of
sauerkraut and carried l. 10 his COW

row OF stalls was big, >trong-horneG
COW. Her head was hang ug low under
the manger, although there was plen-

Her ears had a detected Troop and her
e~es were half closed. She was evident

should have been in good spirits. for
among the Pennsylvania Germans IL is
still popular belief that on Christmas
eve the cows in their stalls may be
heard TO talk TO each other OF the great

The bucketful of sauerkraut was
dumped into the manger. The COW, by
some peculiar system OF feeding, first
gave evidence Of her appreciation by
slowly switching her tail, which had be-
fore hung limp and lifeless Then she
raised her head, poked her gres muzzle
into the kraut and slowly began TO
MUNICH the stuff. Fifteen minutes later
she looked quite happy. She had eaten

ROMAN AQUEDUCTS.
They Were DuiIt Bccnusc There Were
No Suitable Pipes TO
lie Had.

People forgetful OF the real status Of
mechanical economy in the time OF the
Romans have often eXpr, ssed wonder
that they built expensive aqueducts
when, IL Is proved, they knew the by.
drostatic principle that water rises al
ways to its own level
The principal reason undoubtedly
was that they had no suitable material
10 make pipes which would stand the
enormous pressure insepaiable from an
underground system. Lead was out of
the qnestion for the purpose because the
pipes would have to be made so dispor-
portionately thick, and, besides, water
flowing for miles through lead would
be poisonous. Short lead and clay
pipes were used by them in their cities
aud houses for the supply Of baths, but
without cast iron, which they did not
possess, they could not have made
pipes to carry water long distances.
Lastly, the water brought TO Rome was
strongly imprcgnated with lime, and
this would have caused great incrusta-
ton in pipes and nressi'bted frequent
openings and cleaning, whereas an
aqueduct. once built, would, as events
have proved, last for very long time
with very moderate amount ~ -

ANTI-USURY.
State Legislation Against Shy
locking is Upheld.

a decision was rendered by the
Supreme Court of the United States
recently which strongly sustains the
power of the state to enact anti-usury
legislation. The case involved the
applicability of the Minnesota law
uSuriOus contracts as penalty. 1t
arose upon a loan by a Kansas trust
company, as security for which the
company took notes to an amount
largely in excess of the amount of the
loan, together with a policy of insur-
ance upon the life of one of the Dor
rOWerS and mortgage upon certain
property in Minnesota. After paying a
portion Of the money the borrowers
sued for the cancellation of the notes
and mortgage on the ground that the
contract violated the Minnesota law
against usury. The case was removed
to the Federal Circuit Court on the ap-
plicatiOn of the trust company, which
cOntended that a maker of a usuriOus
contract cannot maintain a bill to can
eel it for usury without first paying or
Offering to pay the principal sum Dor
rowed, with lawful interest. The Cir
cult Court decided against the COM
pany, and its action was sustained by
the Supreme Court Of the United
States, which said that if the cause had
remained in the state court the COM
plainant would have been entitled, I'M
der the public policy of the state of
Minnesota to have the usurious con-
tract Cancelled without rendering pay
ment of the whole or any part OF the
original Indebtedness, and that the
defendant company could not, by re-
moving the case to the federal courts,
deprive the compartments of such a sub
stantive right. The court of last resort
takes the view, in short. that the
federal tribunals have nothing to do
with the policy of state legislation in
such cases.
