Before the war there was a lawyer in

He was as iussy in his manner as hen with
brood of ducks. One day he nearly broke
in the door of a residence by his vigorous
use Of the knocker. The disturbance was
answered by darby, who was frightened
out OF his boots as he opened the door
Where's your master!' Numbered the law
yer. and before the darky could answer the
lawyer repeated his question Then the
darky replied that he was not in.

again. Well, mind YOU, now. mind you.

With that Mr. Hovey turned and disap-
peared in tlutter. When the master came
he asked his servant If anyone had called,

AN INDIAN COURTROOM.
Presided Over by a Picturesque But
Kindly Dispenser of
Justice.

While all friends of the Indian hope
that he may soon be placed on terms
Of citizenship, take up his individual
allotment of land, and have access to
the regular courts, the reservation
courtroom, presided over by Indian
judges and served by Indian police,
sets frequent examples in kindness
and justice to the dominant race.
Some weeks ago an Indian couple,
arrested for fighting, were brought
before such a court in northern Mon
tana. Judge Shorty Whitegrass, four
feet four inches high. with head
like Daniel Webster, and pet par
rot perched on his shoulder. presided
over the court.
The prisoners, clean and in pictur-
esque native costume, told their stor-
les with frankness. The man had
been drunk when he went home, and
not finding his supper ready, had
pushed his wife from the fire with
fence-rail; while she, being tired, had
taken responsive part. Both blamed
themselves, and both were sorry, and
Judge Shorty Whitegrass, after brief
elaboration, gave his verdict Since
there were extenuating circumstances
in each case, he would not be severe;
but he wanted them to sit silently
on the bench for ten minutes, and
think about their children, and what
sort of husband and wife they ought
to be in the future.
The next case was called; but Cow.
berry and his squaw sat with down
cast eyes and all unconscious of OBJ
servation. The woman occasionally
wiped tear from her eye, and pres
emily both arose and went out hand
in hand. Through the open window
onlookers saw Cowberry help his wife
on her pony-a rare ciyil;ty-and the
two rode off together into the woods.

France makes nearly 10000, 900 pairs
of gloves yearly, and of these 1S,000,-

An English scientific journal speaks

The seal is clumsy animal on the

Desiccated bananas are now being

On the express trains running be-
tween Vienna and Constantinople the

Phellosene is the name given by q
French inventor to substance he de-
scribes as artificial cork, and which
may be used for all purposes for
which cork has hitherto been found
needful.
In order to take step toward abat-
ing the growing smoke nuisance in
Cincinnati, o., some of the manufac-
turers of that city, says the Railway
and Engineering Review. are arrang-
ing system of prizes for proper stok-
ing. The idea is to arrange series of
prizes; give the stoker an inducement
to obey the orders of his employer.
