ONE of the residents of the West
Side is making vigorous kick on the
way that the lumber is piled on the
bridge. 1t is fixed so that the people
who walk have to use the roadway
and if there is a woman approaching
they have to wait until the road is
clear. This entails much delay and
vexation besides forcing the people to
walk in the mud. These piles are in
the way all along the bridge and at
the west end. 1.-THE contractors have
no excuse for not hustling now. They
have plenty of material but they are
doing nothing We want them to

Pink Satin.

pretty anecdote of revolutionary
bride is related by Ellen D. Larned in
a recent little volume upon the loca.
deeds and traditions of Connecticut
county The incident occurred soon
after the first successes of the rebel
privateers. A beautiful young girl, be-
trothed and shortly to be married, ad-
mitted one day to the house a wan
dering peddler. who undid his pack
and displayed his wares. She expected,
doubtless, to purchase some pretty trifie
to add to her wedding outfit; but times
were hard. there was little money to
spare, and, moreover, it was many
months since all imported finery had
been so frowned upon that no patriotic
young woman could venture to buy it.

was the young woman's amaZement
and delight when the peddler unrolled
voluminous piece of the most beau
tiful pink satin-satin, too quite inno-
cent and inoffensive to the most ar
IDENTIFY patriotic eye, since he explained
that it was a trophy of war, the booty
of one of our own privateers. She gazed
upon it in fascination. What a we'd
ding dress it would make! But the
cost-she could not, she dared not, ask
so much money of her father. Nor did
she. But, unrolling the exquisite fab
ric yet further, she draped the rosy
folds f1owingly about her supple young
figure, and, crossing the room to where
| all the time her father, stern and ST.

upon her knees at his feet. A hand
was laid on his knee; he looked down,
wondering. and she looked up, pleading

States this fall on account of the ILL
ness of his wife, his minister of foreign
affairs came. Senior lgnacio Mariscal
stands closer to President Diaz than
does any other official at present con-
nected with the government of Mex
leo. Before he accepted the portfolio
of foreign affairs in 1854 he had been
minister of Mexico to Great Britain.
Senior Mariscal is said to be the best
informed man on either side OF the
water in regard to the intricate nature
of Spanish-American politics. being
thoroughly cOnversant with the Situa-
ton in every republic in all Central
and South America. This is by no
means an easy task when one consid-
ers the frequency Of revolutions every
where else but in Mexico. Senior
Mariscal has great admiration for
the United States, and every plan for
more cordial relations between the two
republics has had his cordial approval,

Newspaper Wood Pulp.

In the manufacture of newspaper
wood pulp, according to present meth
DDS. cord of spruce wood is estimated
to equal Sic feet of board measure, and
this quantity of raw material will
make half a ton of sulphite pulp or
one ton of ground wood pulp News
paper stock is made up with 20 per
cent of the sulphite pulp and 80 per
cent Of the ground wood pulp. Now,
as figured by experts, the best of
spruce land, virgin growth, possesses a
stand of about 1000 feet to the acre;
on twenty-five sores, therefore, of this
best spruce land there wilt esa.nd 1884,
900 feet of timber, which an average
company of loggers will cut in about
eight days. But this entire quantity
of wood, turned in at any one of the
large mills, will in single day be
converted into about $50 tons of such
pulp as goes to make up newspaper
stock. and this amount Of oulp will
make an equal weight of paper.

HABEAS CORPUS SUSPENDED
Ruling of Country Judge Which Made
Lawyers Gasp.


Church congregations are always
nightly well pleased to see their pas
tors in their pulpits after the summer
season is ended, but not as thoroughly
gratified as are members of the bar
when the judges return from their va
cations. remarked a prominent Brook
Ign lawyer why do you make the
distinction between the emotions of
church congregations and lawyerS?" L
asked To which my friend replied:
We'll, a congregation is not forced to
accept the views of poorly informed
country parson who comes to the city
as a substitute for a brighter man who
has gone to the mountains or seashore.
But it is different in the courts. You've
got to knock under, at least until an
appeal can be heard; have got to sub
NIT to the rulings of this and that
second-class country judge who comes
to the city to make a show of his I'M
familiarity with law, until the regular
judges return to their seats During
last summer a case came under my OBJ
servation which will illustrate the in
competency of some OF these country
judges who visit us in vacation time.
In q surrogate's case an order had been
issued for the arrest of two executors
on the ground that they had failed to
turn over certain moneys as directed
by the court. One of these executors
did comply with the order of the court,
but, nevertheless, was arrested and
locked up. His counsel appeared be-
fore one of the country judges sent
down to this section temporarily, and
applied for a writ of iiabeas corpus.
Whereupon the Judge made the re-
markable decision that Supreme
court judge could not grant the writ
called for; that the Supreme court
could not interfere with case under

Farm to Merit Fame.

One of the most peculiar OF con-
temporary writer's is Olive Schreiner,
who suddenly leaped into great popu-
larity over ten years ago by her strong
romance, The Story of an African
Farm" Since then she has never pro-
duced another sustained bit Of i'm
aginative work, but in several smaller
books she has shown creative power
of a rare kind Her father was Ger
man missionary and her mother an
English woman, and all her girlhood
she spent at a remote station in Cape
Colony. This lonesome life she has
reproduced with startling fidelity in
her book, which was a powerful pro-
test against the worlds failure TO per-
nit a girl to enjoy the same training
as a boy Her sketches of Boer life
were as graphic as Rider Haggard's in
Jess" or Swallow" Olive Schreiner
feels deeply the wrongs of the Beers,
and her pen has been active for months

versy with England.

ImDrOyement in Luncheon Dish s

From the Boston Transcript: or
course, it is being trite to say it, but
we do eat altogether too much meat.
A good many are coming to this con-
clusion and trying to reform, so an OBJ
serving person remarks, by eating no
meat at luncheon. They aren't think
ing of becoming out-and-Out vegetar-
ians. but they are thinking that
luncheon menu made up of two or
three kind of vegetables, wound up
with a fruit salad or with a peach or
pear eaten from the hand, is conducive
to a physical sense of well-being that
makes life seem worth the living And
have you noticed that the leading res
taurateurs are doing themselves proud
in catering to this sensible demand OF
their customers? Ten years ago, il
your memory can take you back so far.
you will recall the fact that the most
comprehensive menu at your favorite
lunching place offered you tomatoes in
nothing but just the most straightfor-
ward and unadorned guise, but today
it's very different. They are fried and
broiled and roasted. with or without
stuffing, and as a general thing served
with a sauce that you are accustomed
to having with steaks and chops,
which, of course, makes them seem so
much more dish" What you have
noticed in regard to tomatoes is as
true of other vegetables, though very
Few lend themselves to the celebrating
process as they do. And to think that
now and then you run across a bar
barian who declares he had to learn
to like tOmatoes!"
