Cannot be Recognized.

In scanning the reports of the leg
islatlve proceedings We have not
seen where an antitrust bill was
passed, although tho item might have
escaped our notice. IL such q bill
was passed we have seen no mention
made of 1t, and it must have fell far
short of the mark.-Durham Herald.
An antitrust law did pass on the
day before adjournment, after the
Senate had changed tho Stevens law
until it could not be recognized. SEN
ator Glenn, of Forsyth, says that it
is q very good law. We hope he is
right, but we had feared the amend
ments had we'll nigh emasculated it.
We hope our fears are groundless.-

cent light 1t was all tie light or

Of n double carbon, each attached to Il

given to those who are in the room.
But simple twist at the burner cuts
off half and gives but eight-candle
light. But the inventor has not gone
far enough. He should have made
four nraments in his lamp, each of
four-candle power. Then when the

manded by those engaged in the COM
mendabe business of sparkling. Even
q four-candle light may be looked up.

probability there VIII he another i'm

When Gladstone Was Chancellor.

When the lote w. L. Gladstone was
Chancellor of the Exchequer, one day
he was in the shipping department of
the Government office getting some in.
formation and figures for tho coming
budget. While thus engaged Sun.
derland shipowner called to see Mr..
Lindsey, the then member Tor Sunder,
land.
While waiting for Mr.. Lindsey to
come in the shipowner got his eye on
Mr.. Gladstone, and was watching him
closely. After doing so little while
he thus addressed him:
"Thou seems q good writer and
clever at figures. Til give thou $500
a year, and that's an offer thoull not
get every day"
Mr.. Gladstone thanked him and said
he would see Mr.. Lindsey.
just then Mr.. Lindsey entered.
Then Mr.. Gladstone told Mr.. Lindsey
OF the offer his friend had made him.
Mr.. Lindsey said it was very good
offer, but he did not know il Mr. Glad
stone could be spared. Anyway, he
had better introduce them. Turning
to his friend, the shipowner, he said:
"Allow me to introduce you to w. e.
Gladstone, Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer-Mr So-and-so, Sunderland. ;"
The amazement of the shipowner cam
not be described.

erately. London Answers.

Decorating smnll TnhIes.

A very good opportunity for the dis.
play OF taste in the arrangement of a
room is afforded by the use of the
numberless tables that now seem to
be absolutely necessary. They vary
in size, shape and material, and it is
possible to have quite collection in
one drawing room, provided the draw.
ing room is large enough.
But it is in deciding what shall be
placed on these tables that an oppor-
tunity is offered for the display of in.
dividual taste. One table devoted
entirely to silver ornaments is always
an addition to the drawing room.
Then there is now in every well-ap.
pointed sitting room, if not library, n
desk, or rather a writing table, fitted
up with everything that is necessary
and often great deal that is un-
necessary-to the carrying on of
correspondence. Another table is
frequently devoted to photographs in
all kinds and varieties of photograph
frames. Another small table can be
kept for rare pieces of bric-a- -brac; but
the great objection to this last is that
it is apt to give one the impression of
bargain sale display. However, it
may be only an evil mind that would
think of it in that light.
Ono very good feature in the family
living room is the large table, no
longer allowed in the center of the
room, but pushed to one side, or even
against the wall. On this are piled
the books and magazines; the last so
arranged, one over the other, that the
title and date OF each show, so that
one may pick up the number wanted
without looking through the entire
pile. On such table as this there
should be nothing but the magazines,
books and good reading lamp, to.
gether with paper cutter of good
size, an ash receiver and, if possible,

The greatest ingenuity is expended
at present in the making of birds of
wonderful plumage, and wings of iri
descent hue, out OF the feathers of the
humble but necessary barndoor fowl.
OF course it is much to be commended
that such good results can be OBJ
tanned by the feather manufacturers
without the slaughter of countless
wild birds of the woods, and we can
enjoy, with easy conscience, the many
elegant feather trimmed chapeaux that
will this season be prepared and sold.
For this is undoubtedly to be feather
season-from the beautiful and ex-
pensiye Paradise ospreys and ostrich
plumes to quilts, wings and couteaux
of the manufacturers creation. The
wings, very pointed in most cases,
will be smartest when backed with
some bright OF soft color contrast, and
it appears that their most fashionable
position on the hat or toque will be
with the points turned downward.

THE EXPERT WITNESS.
his Absurd Tendency to Befng n ouestio
i'm Technical Elucidation.

Ills Absurd Tendency to Befng Question
in Technical Elucidation.
One Of the besetting sins OF the ex.
pert witness is the habit or tendency
to use lot OF Latin words in describ.
ing an injury to the jury. In some
exceptional cases, doubtless, this is
done without aifectation or for pur.
pose, but we have no hesitation In
saying that in the majority ofinstances
it is very good index OF the learning
and capacity of the expert, on the
assumption that the more words of
this sort are used, the more probability
there is that they cover a deficiency OF
knowledge and thorough grounding
on the part of the user. A really able
man in his profession will always
accommodate himself to circum.
stances, and realizing the capacity of
the average juror, use very different
forms aud methods of expression in
tcstifying before court and jury than
If he were making an address or de.
livering paper on some scientific
subject before an audience of his pro.
fessional brethren.
A physician, for example, who,
when upon the stand, is asked to de-
scribe something to the jury, uses all
the high-sounding terms and express
sions he can muster, deserves to have
very little attention paid to his testi-
mony-and usually gets his deserts.
An amusing example OF this truth is
given i'll the following account of an
actual happening in an English court.
1t is from little book entitled,
Hints on Advocacy" published first
in England:
81 discovered considerable ecchy-
mosis under the left orbit, caused by
extravasaticn of blood beneath the
cuticle, said n young house surgeon
in case of assault at the assizes.
Baron Bramwell-"'I suppose you
mean the man had black eye?"
Scientific Witness-''P Precisely, my
Lord"
Baron Bramwell-"Perhaps if you
had said 80 in plain English, those
gentlemen would better understand
you.
Precisely, my Lord" answered
the learned surgeon, evidently de-
lighted that the Judge understood
his meaning.
This incident, which might be
paralleled many times in court in this
country, carries its own comment.
What the jury wants is to be en-.
lightened on disputed points, and the
way to do this is not to use purely
technical expressions, but to explain
IN plain, homely language. There is
no danger that in doing this the ex.
pert will be liable to detract from the
general estimate of his own abilities,
but rather the reverse will be the
case.

Bees Took Back Their own.

A correspondent writes from Hamp.
shire to relate curious incident in
the bee world. A cottager took two
large bars of honey and square Sec
tion from one of his hives. This honey
he put into large pan and covered it
with cloth. placing it in an upstairs
room of his cottage. During the day
the bees got scent of the honey through
the open window, and the whole hive
entered the room, crept under the
cloth cover, and took away all the
honey in an incredibly short time, and
stored it in their hive again. The
quantity was about ten pounds in
weight, London Telegraph.

A moquette carpet was recently saved
from ruin by the prompt action of a
woman who had just tipped over the
contents of large ink stand upon its
delicate surface. She rushed to the
kitchen and snatched from the table n
pint bowl filed with milk. This was
instantly poured over the spot with
out stopping to take up the ink. BY
the time the whole was wiped up, the
stain had almost disappeared. A lit.
tie rubbing with soap and water to
take of the grease left from the milk
was all that was needed to obliterate
the last vestige of the ink.
