SNOW DRIFTS IN ADIRoNDAoKs.

On a good drift making day the SNOW
comes, not in the star shaped fakes
that look 80 pretty when portrayed on

pelIets These pellets aie 10 shape like
tiny white footballs, usually, and they
come rolling and tumbling down wind
as il they had been "kicked for fair"
by the hall. hack gods of the gale! And
vet while they roll aud tumble and
bound, they iind lodging places, and as
the idler eazes he secs them pile up in
a wall on the crest OF the road cut.
Higher and higher grows the pile,
forming at first vertical wall, but
before this has risen three inches 1T is
seen to overhang the gulch. Though
round and easily rolled these PELLETS in
some way fit to each other as tricks
would until the overhang is perhaps
fifth rs great as the elevation OF the
wall. and then, marvellous and I'm
possible as it would seem to the I'M
accustomed observer, a lip forms on the
crest of the wall, and soon u begins to
droop and hang down. Wider and
longer it grows; farther and farther it
droops. until its shape Is precisely Ike

as merrily as footballs, form into such
shape an that? OF course, IL the
storm continues, time usually comes
when the lirs break off because of their
growing weight. And then no new LIP
forms to replace the lost one. The
snow merely drops over into the lee OF

THE CRAZE FOR PEARLS.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
With the curious tide of favor which
one moment discards beautiful thing
and the next moment will have moth
ing else, the love Of all women's hearts
seems to have firmly settled itself with
a love that will not be denied upon
pearls. Little pearls and great pearls,
pesrla white, pink, Black, and even
green, never was there such rush for
one particular jewel as there is for this.
1t being absolutely necessary that in a
perfect necklace the pearls should all
exactly match, 1t is necessarily becom-
ing more and mole difficult to procure
one, particularly the long chains which
are SO much desired for graceful drap-
ing among the soft laoes Of present
fashions.
1t is more wonder that pearls are
ever out Of fashion than that they
should be immensely sought after, as
of all precious jewels they are eminently
the most beeoming. They seem to have
quite wonderful quality Of improving
poor complexion and becoming to a
perfect one, giving out some Of their
own lustre and delicate tints to the
wearer'e skin, by no meanH crying out
for the perfect background that dia-
monds and many other stones insist on.
Ali over the world tho craze for pearls
seems to be an ever. increaslng fact, and
one wonders where the supply will
come from II it goes on much longer.
Rich Americans buy them by the hand
full while their English and French
sisters buy as many as thsy can get,
and are, perhaps, even more particular
as to the perfection Of their quality
and shape; and morning, afternoon
and evening they are always worn in
some form or other.
The colored pearls which are eagerly
sought after are more desired for their
rarity than their beauty, though the
delicate pink have, a certain amount o.
prettiness. Fabulous prices are paio
| for these and especially for the pale
green, of which it is almost impossible
TO obtain sufficient to make comrlett
necklace.

JUDICIAL DEFINITION OF DnUxn,

Like lightning out Of clear SKY. says
the Baltimore American, came Judge
Burke's emphatic Disagreement with
Judge Dewey's decision OF drunkenness
in the municipal court yesterday morn
ing.
This was the first day of Judge
Burke's sitting in the court, and he
had come prepared.
j, j, Callahan was the first man to
plead mot guilty" to drunk charge.
HIS Honor listened calmly to the
officers testimony that he had found
the man in house on Tyler street
unable to stand, and with breath SMELL
ing strongly of liquor.
After he had finished, Judge Burke
said
"I have been asked il I would follow
the recent decision in this court by one
Of my associates as to the crime OF
drunkenness. And L reply that l can
not. l find it Just as easy to determine
the question. Is a person drunk?' as 1t
is to determine the question is he
overcome?' The Century Dictionary
gives me no aid or comfort in that, for
we are Immediately thrown back on the
proposition, When is a man overoome?'
"But, giving full weight to the detini-
| tion OF drunk as given in tue Century
Dictionary, that is, overcome, frenzied,
| | think reasonable Interpretation of
| this ia that he ia overcome who has
surrendered the use or control of any OF
his faculties. The man staggering uIon
| the street has surrendered the control
| of his limbs, and is, therefore. overcome
to that extent. IT, therefore, a man is
found staggering upon the street and

use Of Intoxicating liquore, should
| be required, as | view the law, to hold
him as drunk, unless these conditions
we're explained away.
Every man who etaggers upon the
street cannot be said to be drunk, for
that condition may be brought about
by infirmity or disease Every man
| who is incoherent OF speech cannot be
sails; to be drunk, for the same reason.
i Here IS where common sense must rule
in the determination. Leaving out Of
view the extreme views of Prohibition
ists and total abstainers, and viewing IL
from the standpoint Of temperance, that
js to say, the proper, moderate. con-
trolled use of all things, l think it
would be an OWL day when the public
accepts as morals or law the Chauoer
poetic definition of drunkenness, that a
man must reach the gutter and be
unable to arise therefrom before he can
be determined drunk. '6
AT the close of this grafton the clerk
announced Callahan, the court finds
you guilty, and sentences you to four
months in the House Of Correction. "
