Laurel CrowrS.

The laurel crown used to decorat>
the brow Of the victor in the old
Olympian games or tie head OF some
triumphant general was composed Of
bay leaves. The bay is Taurus uobilis.
and thus the wreath or crown has
been called laurel or bay, according
to the within Of the writer. The bay
was considered by the ancients to he
an ant!dote against poison and n Sc
curlty against lightning. Its leaves
were used TO provide II pleasing In
ccnse. aud n spray of bay was Carried
In the garments of all supcrstltious
persons as n guard against all dangers.
II Is Interesting to note how the
laurel or bay has passed down to these
moro prOsaic times. The heads on
medals, coins, etc, are almost always
crowned with laurel. Then we have
a poet laureate, or the poet crowned
with laurel That Is to say, the chief
poet OF the times. Again, the title of
bachelor. won by exceptional skill in
connection with nrt or science, takes
us back to the middle ages, when
young doctors were crowned with
laurel and received the title of bacca

Here is the Boston journals idea OF
packing the benches of courts with
judges in the hands OF corporations, or
men when only qualification Is a pollt-
ical pull. The Journal is. of course, Re-
publican in politics.
There was only one member OF the
Senate Judiciary Committee who voted
against a favorable report on the NOM
nation OF John II. Hazel of New York
TO be Judge of the Western District Of
New York: yet the Bar Association OF
New York, a non-partisan body, has
almost unanimously voted that Mr..
Hazel lis not a fit candidate and has
adduced strong evidence in support of
the statement. A man would ascend
the bench under grave disadvantages
with such an opinion as that express
ed regarding him."
The protest of the New York bar
against the appointment of John r..
Hazel TO be United States district
Judge had no weight in the senate. and
so another politically corrupt Judge is

A Rhode Island statute provides a
fine OF $40 to be imposed upon any per-
son "who shall take any trout less than
six inches in length, at any time of the
year" To meet this danger those who
fish for trout are advised to put on
each hook a prohibition against any
Ash less than six inches from taking
the hook. How can fisherman. when
he drops hook. know that the fish
taking the hook will not submit him
to a heavy fine: must he unhook, and
throw the fish away to perish? Such
a statute ought not 10 be enacted, be-
cause 1t Is ridiculous.
