to doughnuts that one or moro will
concern the late Henry w. Paine of
Cambridge One of the most brilliant
lawyers of his generation, tits probable,
nevertheless, that he will be chiefly re-
membered for his exquisite gift of re-
parte.
1t was Paine who, on being interrupt
ed during an argument by a notorious
ly brusque supreme court Justice with
the remark, "Mr. Paine, that is not

On one occasion, while riding from
Cambridge to Boston on the horse cars
with green bag full Of sheep-covered
volumes in his lap. Paine was address
ed by youthful acquaintance, a IIar-

"You have quite load, Mr.. Paine.

ooh, no, = said Paine. Merely su-
preme court reports.
Not long before his death Paine be-
came interested in case, as a matter
of charity, in which lad of some 10
years was charged with arson. PANE
defended the boy and offered conclusive
evidence that he was to all practical
purposes an idoit and totally irrespon-
ible. Nevertheless the jury in the
case, after charge from the court
which was virtually an order for ne
quittal, brought in q verdict of guilty.
The presiding Judge then addressed
Paine:
"You will move for a new trial, 1 pre-
sumo, Mr.. Paine.
Paine rose with a demurrer that was
painful in It's solemnity.

gestion, he said, "but | am oppressed

preceding tho Spanish American war
was about S475, 600, 900. The average
expenditures per annnm for each of the
three years since that war, including
the fiscal year upon which we have just
entered, shows an increase of nearly
$500, 000 600 The total increase for the
three years will be nearly 5000, 600, 900.
And in like proportion it will go ON.
These figures refer alone to the money

In the republican congress just closed,
not one dollar could be had for much

the country at home, but many millions

Civil government was established in

several Offices was called for certain

cock fights and the authorities couldn't
get the natives to 20 to the polls and
vote. They could not be deprived of
seeing their favorite national sport, so
election had to be postponed until the
next day, when the sporty natives
turned out in droyes, each "ward-

WHAT A DINNER REPRESENTS.

Growth of the Different Viands In.
wolves an Outlay of 100000.
Recently q man who is fond Of arith.
metic made up his mind that he would
find out how much a dinner really cost
He first ascertained that the dinner he
was eating cost 10 cents. presumably.
He contradicted this and then made
out the following statement about the
cost of that dinner.
The pepper, he said, came from TO-.
900 miles away. 1t grew on q bush
eight feet high, which must have had
a growth of at least Ave years. The
pepper was picked green; 1t had to be
dried in the sun. and this meant en-
ploying women. 1t took one ship and
1000 miles of railroad to bring the pep
per to the United States.a
The -four of which the bread was
made came from Dakota; some one
owned the land, and that meant the in
yesting of capital. and he had also to
pay wages to workingmen. The nour
had to be ground, and the building of
the mill and the plant, or machinery,
meant more money invested. The mill
ers had to be paid, coopers had to be
paid for making the barrels, and, Of
course, the wood OF which the barrels
were made had to be cut and sawed
and shaped and this meant the en-
ployment of more men. Then the flour
had to be shipped over the railroad and
handled again by cartmen before 1t
came into the house.
The tea on the table came from China
and the coffee from South America. The
Goldfish had to be brought from Maine.
Men had to be employed to catch the
fish: other men and women were en-
ployed in drying. packing and boxing
it, and 1t. too. had to make long rail-
road journey.
The salt came from the Indian reser-
walton in the northwestern part of
New York State. The spices In the
cake came from the spice Islands In the
Indian archipelago. The canned peaches
came from California, and they, too,
represented the employment of capital
and labor. The little dinner represent
ed directly or indirectly, the employ
ment of $50O.000,00o of capital and g..
