WHAT HE WAS THINKING.
When the Dull witness Made Up
His Mind TO Speak the Law
yer Suffered.

Amember of the Louisville bar named
Simmondson, who was in the habit of
intimidating the opposing witnesses,
was once engaged in the trial of a ease
involving the title to some farm lands.
and a number of countrymen were
called TO testify on the other side.
When Simmondson came to cross-eXam-
inc, says the Denver Post, he harassed
them in every imaginable manner, and
whenever they would show signs OF
confusion would roar out: What are
you hesitating for? Are you afraid
YOU may tell lie?" If the victim re-
piled No" Simmondson would retort:
81 was sure you didn't mind little
thing like that" and if the answer was
YES" he would say, with a sheer:
AHA. | thought So" The last witness
he took i'll hand was tall, lank farmer,
with n thoughtful eye. He had watched
the batting of his neighbors in dead
silence, and took the stand with perfect
composure. Simmondson evidently
set him down as a lout, and when the
witness hesitated over some question
moment later, he fired his favorite
shot: What are v studying about?"
he beloved, q" 'fraid of telling lie, too,
suppose?" Without any apparent
haste the countryman picked up mas
sive inkstand and hurled it straight at
Simmondson's head, catching him on
the bridge of the nose and knocking
him senseless. That's what | was a.
studyin' about" he drawled, in the mo-
80 81 ho4 20 ~
act. Needless to say, tremendous hub
bub ensued, but everybody was secret
ly pleased, and while the judge fined
the farmer heavily for contempt, he
subsequently RENTED the sentence.

A CRAB FAMINE.
Rise of Three Hundred Per
Cent. in Price.

The prices of crabs have risen 3C0 per
cent. in the east. During an ordinary
season the price per dozen is in the
neighborhood of 25 cents. This year
crabs bring from GO to IS cents per
dozen. From one dollar a barrel the
price has scared to three dollars. four
dollars, and even five dollars. AS a
usual thing New Workers consume
about 25 barrels of crabs each day. For
the past few months, since the severe
cold weather of the winter the leaders
with whatever they could get. Some
days not more than four barrels would
be received. The supply has varied
from that amount to IS barrels. The
famine is due to the severe cold
weather of last winter. 1t usually &C.
ours that after exceeding cold weather
the supply of shell fish becomes scant.
Five or six months time is required to
get the sources of supply back to their
normal producing condition. The very
cold weather of last winter had the eff
feet of driving the crabs to hibernate
in the mud and to seek deeper and
warmer water. The alternating crabs
have not yet made their way out of the
mud. and it will remain for the next
change of tide to uncover them. Dur
ing the winter months the crab supply
is received from Norfolk, few from
Annapolis and from the lower points
on the Chesapeake bay. In summer
the Potomac river supplies the crabs
used in the city.

PIaEiarist and Suicide.

Toulouse has been startled by an
army officer committing suicide on ac-
count of plagiarism. Capt. Cassagnade
sent in poem to the Floral Games,
which received minor prize and was
printed with the other prize pieces. A
lycee professor accidentally opened the
book and recognized the poem as an al
ready published production of his own.
with the exception of dozen lines. He
informed the prize committee of the
plagiarism and the captain was asked
for an explanation, whereupon he shot
himself. The committee went so far as
to state that if it had not been for the
captains own addition the poem would
have received the first prize.

GENERALLY SUPERIOR.
That Is What Is Said Of the Women
Who Really Refuse
to Marry.

Generally speaking women who be-
long to this class are the best of their
sex. Some people think they prefer
single blessedness because they have a
mission" which calls them to some
useful work or other. No doubt many
ofthem do employ their time with great
benefit to their feIIow-creatures; still.
we think they would have been willing
to marry had they met one whom they
could love. Either they are faithful 10
the memory of the past or the man
whom they could have married has
never crossed their path. And being
women of the utmost honor and recti-
tude, they prefer odd maidism' to mar
ry for the sake OF marrying. Says a
dear old lady of this type: NO!
never had love story" she said to us.
One or two men have asked me, but
never yet saw him whom could have
loved" DR.. Talmage says: Two era
dies, each with its tiny occupant, COM
mence rocking; one may bethousands
of miles from the other. Through the
long years those cradles are rocking
toward each other; when they meet
there is a marriage made in Heaven.
But maybe one occupant dies, and
then? Well! We have the woman who
refuses to marry"

CRUSHED A DIVING BELL.
The Tremendous Water Pressure at
Great Depths shown by an
Odd Accident.

A crushed mass of iron in Il Pitts
burgh scrapyard demonstrates the ire
nrndous pressure of water at great
depth, says the New York World.
Is WAS constructed for diving bell
for use in Lake Michigan. AS originally
constructed il was about six feet square
and raI.ered slightly al both ends. The
material was phusphor bronze, more
than half an inch thick. Each plate
was cast with tiange, and they were
bolted together, the bolts being placed
as closely as was consistent with
strength. The side plates were further
strengthened by iron ribs an inch thick
and Two inches wide.
In fact, the entire structure was
strongly braced. The windows TO be
used as outlooks by the divers were
three inches square, fortified with iron
bars and set with glass plates an inch
thick. The weight of the bell was 49,
600 pounds.
When completed it was sent to Mil
waukee and lowed out into the lake
about IL miles, where there was over
200 feet of water. and was sent down
for a test. The manufacturer was so
confident of the strength of the bell
that he wanted TO go down in it.
He is glad now that he didn't. When
the bell reached the depth of about 100
feet strong timbers attached to il came
to the surface in n splintered condition.
Suspecting an accident. the bell was
hauled up and found to be crushed into
shapeless mass. The inch-thick plate
glass bulrs-eyes were shattered. The
pressure that crushed this seemingly
invulnerable structure amounted to q
total of 2,723,54s pounds, of 1862 tons.

the job we've got, and we perform the
labor involved in it in only half heart

dead earnest when we get job to suit

The fact is that tomorrow, when we
get to it, will be to us as to-day is to us
now. We shan't feel any more like
work; and that other job, when we
come in actual contact with it and see
it close at hand, won't suit us any bet
ter than the one we've got now does.
THE truth is that we are cavaliers
and shy of work and trying to get
along just as easy as we can. We hate
to pitch in and go at things.
"rhe time for US to work is now, not
tomorrow, and the job for us to collar
is the one we've got. Round that up
in style, do the work completely and
thoroughly, and you'll be astonished to
find how you'll bring ii out and
what chances there are ~ it; and every
body that knows about your work, or is
in any way concerned or affected by it,

1T SURPRISED HIM.
The Professor Expected Death. But
Heard Smooth Language from
the Indian.

The late Prof. Marsh loved to tell of
an adventure which once befell him
while a member of party of fossil
hunters in the Indian country, says
Forest and Stream.
The whole party realized that they
were in a dangerous country, and all
hands were constantly on the watch for
enemies, and were careful not to wan
der far from the command; or if two
or three fossil gatherers did so off from
the main body they took with them
number of soldiers to stand guard while
they worked.
One day Prof. Marsh was hard at
work on his knees in the bottom of the
narrow ravine digging away the soil
from a bone which stuck out of the
bank. He was entirely absorbed in his
task and noticed nothing of what was
going on about him until the brilliant
sunlight was cut off by dark shadow,
and he looked up to see standing above
him Il grim Indian warrior holding his
rifle ready.
The professors heart leaped into his
throat. He forgot where he was. He
SlrONe 10 utter preparatory now,
but his dry lips refused to form the
word, and he could only swallow, try
ing 10 get rid of the lump in his throat.
Suddenly the savage bent toward him
and spoke:
"Have the honor of addressing Prof.
Othnell Charles Marsh, the eminent
paleontologist of Yale college?" he in
quired.
The revulsion of feeling was almost
too much for the professor, who was
now even less able to speak than he had
been before.

small boy had been sent east, Chris

TEN ORANGES FOR A CENT.
That Is~ the Price mt Which They
Can Be Bought In Porto
Rico.

The man who had recently returned
from Porto Rico was walking through
a downtown street with friend, when
the latter stopped at an Italians fruit
stand and inquired the price of oranges.
The veteran from the tropics shifted
disdainfuly at the rather unattractive-
looking fruit, and whistled in amaze
ment when the dealer named a pretty
high price, says the New York Tribune
Il wonder what they'd think of that
in Porto Rico?" he remarked. why, a
few weeks ago, just outside of San Juan.
l met a man carrying great basket
of the finest oranges ever saw. They
were about three times as big as these,
and were full of sweet juice, as found
by trying one. l asked him how much
he wanted for the lot-there were CO.
and he said: Ten centavos'-about six
cents of our money. Think of it! Ten
for cent. l closed the bargain, and
when / got into the city began to boast
of it. But it didn't seem to impress
people much. In fact, one seemed to
think I'd been swindled.
"'You could have bought them
cheaper than that he said, seriously,

more, now that I've come north-too

Hnrdtack and Coffee in the Trenches.

Hnrdtack and Coffee In the Trenches.
when the bareback came up that
afternoon felt much sympathy for the
hungry unfortunates in the trenches
and hated to condemn them to six
hours more without food" writes Col.
Roosevelt in Scribner's but did not
know how to get food in to them. Little
McGinty, the bronco-buster, volun-
teered to make the attempt, and gave
him permission. He simply took case
of bareback in his arms and darted to-
ward the trenches. The distance was
but short, and, though there was an
outburst of fire, he was actually missed.
One bullet, however, passed through
the case of bareback just before he dis
appeared with it into the trench. 4
trooper named Shanafelt repeated the
feat later, with pail of coffee. Another
trooper, George King, spent leisure
hour in the rear, making soup out of
some rice and other stuff he found in
Spanish house; he brought some of it
to Gen. Wood, Jack Greenway and my
self, and nothing could have tasted
more delicious"

German Soldiers Toothbrush Drill

The German military Medical Maya
zine pleads in the interests of the COM
munity for more careful supervision
of the teeth of soldiers. ~ military doc
tor has collected material from his own
regiment. and finds that 1000 men have
among them 1850 decayed teeth. Only
l64 men were found with all their teeth
intact. The use of the toothbrush is
one of the duties of every soldier, but,
as this officer maintains, the tooth
brush is employed for any purpose ex-
cept to keep the teeth clean. He there
fore suggests that superior officers
should pay more attention to this point,
and insist on the noncoms. seeing that
the toothbrushes are used, for their
destined purpose. He further pro-
poses that a certain number of young
dentists who are serving their year
should be supplied with instruments
and look after their comrades teeth. =

BLEACHING A NEGRO.
Strange Story from Vienna OF the
Effect of ELECTRICITY Upon
Black Skin.

Two years ago, according to the vi
emma Fremdenblatt, Niennese mer-
chant brought back from business
trip in Africa a Soudanese negro 10
years old, named Ibual Lacho.
Ibual soon learned the ways of vi
emma. beginning with the German Ian
guage, astonishing the boulevards with
elegant costumes and finally acquiring
certain fashionable nervous disorders.
These famous homeopathic specialist
subjected to electrical treatment.
Strange to say, Ibual began to grow
white, gradually passing through the
conference.-the stages. until he became
in complexion Caucasian, though the
shape of his face remained unchanged.
Ibual's doctor thinks that the black
pigment in the boys skin was gradually
tlisintegrated and washed out, as it
were, by the electrical current. The
chief coloring matter, melanin, or pig
mentum nigrum, found in the eye, hair,
and skin of the negro, contains iron and
strongly reacts upon electrical applica-
ton.
American physicians will hardly
know how seriously to take this report.
1t is well known, however, that negroes
are much more susceptible to the action
of electricity than white men. There
have been several cases of the severe
burning of negroes by the application
of the X ray. usually harmless to white
skins. 1t is now generally considered
dangerous to X-ray black man.
