Every individual with whom he comes in contact interests him-the young and the old, the high and the low, the learned and the unlearned. He is luminous talker, but also a model list ener When men have been in his com- pany they have come away saying, What a gifted mani! And the ladies all exclaim, How fascinating!
 "But the judge is never posing or strain- ing to be brilliant or witty. He Is at all times and in all places simply natural.'' Judge Pryor was born and educated in Virginia and did not take up his residence in New York until after the civil war.

Harness Identified Before Reeves.

A large crowC gathered in the office
of Justice Reeves Tuesday to see
Albert Weber identify the harness
which 2. CRUDE bought of man in
Starke county Mr.. Weber identified
the harness so thoroughly that not the
least shadow of a doubt remains but
what it is his. Mr.. CRUDE was reluctant
about giving it up and made several
statements in emphatic language
which will not we'll bear repeating in
print. He thinks it an injustice; and
the injustice is made dOubly burden
some because he does not have distinct
recollections of the man whom he
bought it of and consequently can not
hope to recover any of its value.
1t is not known whether Mr.. Weber
will carry the case any farther or not.
He certainly can gain nothing but sat-
isfactiOn in so doing.

the dogs holding on to the sheep they

with his penknife, the only weapon he

died. In the melee, though, one of the
dogs bit him severely in the wrist. He
ran the two other dogs to their homes

when Coal Give. out.

The Adirondack region abounds with
streams, most of which can some time
be made use Of as sources of power for
carrying on industries, running rail-
roads and furnishing light and heat.
Indeed, the great problem at present
is not Mt all to find available heads Of
water, but to devise means Of trans
uniting the power with the minimum
loss for long distances.
1t is impossible to believe that with
the success of existing plants and the
spectacle of practically unlimited pow
er going to waste on every hand, to
stimulate inventive genius, methods
will not be devised before very long
for overcoming this difficulty of trans
mission.
Whether it is by the discovery Of
some new conveyor or by using sue
cession of generating plants or by a
process of storing the electricity and
conveying 1t by freight or express or
however. the new power is bound in
time to come into practically universal
use. If the difficulty Of transmission is
never wholly obvious, it may be there
will be some regrouping Of industries
and communities in the near vicinity of
important sources of water supply

The Bishops Label.

Bishop Huntington once went down
to a town in Connecticut to perform 4
marriage ceremony. He arrived the
day before the wedding, and he left
at the same time the bridal pair did,
although he was driven to different
railway station. AS he passed through
the station, carrying his travelling bag,
he was aware that he was creating a
sensation, but was totally at loss to
account for it. In the car he found
that he was still the object of amused
attention. The porter positively snick-
cred as he passed his seat, and finally
just as the train drew out he came up
and assisted the churchman to remove
his overcoat.
What is the matter with you, my
man?" asked the bishop. The porter's
smoker broadened into la.gh.
Saint you done lef' the lady, sab 2"
he chuckled.
"Eh?" exclaimed the bishop in sur
prise. Then his eye fell on the side Of
his travelling bag which the porter had
just turned round. There glued to it
was wide strip of white satin ribbon
on which was painted in large letters:
Married this morning."
The facetiously minded best man had
mistaken the bishops travelling bag
for that of the bridegroom, and q
chuckling black porter worked late In

cold chicken, put ready in case of

might be eaten in the middle Of the

which served for the night meal and is

Marriages OF the Deaf.

1t seems somewhat strange that in
marriages where one partner is deaf
and the other has hearing the proper
ton Of deaf children is as great as in
cases where both the father and moth
er are deaf.
DR.. Fay's statistics show this condi-
ton to exist. He explains its seeming
opposition to the laws Of heredity by
saying that deafness is merely a result
or symptom of some disease or patho-
logical condition, and as there are a
great variety Of these conditions which
produce deafness 1t is only rarely that
they are the same in both partners to
q marriage, ana that therefore there is
not, in most instances where both are
deaf, the union of like to like" after
all.
Another conclusion drawn from a
study of the statistics is that persons
who are born deaf are more likely to
transmit deafness to their offspring
than those who become deaf through
disease or accident, although the lat
ter are more liable to have deaf chill
dren than those whose hearing is un-
impaired. There are far more mar
riages in which the man and woman
are both deaf than in which only one is
deaf, and the farmer are apt to be the
happier, the proportion Of divorce be-
ing only 21a per cent, while in the lat
ter 1t is 61a per cent.-Leslie's Weekly.
