On this subject of the dignity OF
the judges, however, Judge Allan
is somewhat at variance with the
opinions of other world-wise and
learned men, such as Sir John
Falstaff and Thomas Carlyle.
Judge Allan insists that the dig
nifty of a judge is notin the clothes
but in the man, in the intellect ra-

as who should say with the poet:
wera 80 tall as reach the Pole.
Or grasp the ocean with my span; - -

The mind's the standard Of the man!
Falstaff has, naturally enough,
not so high an opinion OF the man

The Bar Association of Indisna-

current month addressed q memo
rial to the judges of the Superior
and Circuit courts of that city,
formally requesting that they be
allowed to wear shirt waists in
court after May l. and that the
judges themselves set the example
by adopting this style of attire.

the judges will agree to the pro-

PROFIT IN RICE.

Under the system adopted by
the large land and canal owners

is willing to work may become a
rice farmer. The owner stands
ready to furnish the land the seed

tial houses, stables and rice barns,
with lands sufficient for all garden

the crop is divided equally.
Last season a man whose capi'
tai was three teams, his own strong
arms and the labor of his two sons

The crop was harvested garneree
and sold, and after paying all ex

Protection of Wild Birds.


The American Ornithological
Union is an organization whose
object is to prevent the killing
anywhere in the United States OF
sny wild birds other than game
birds.
In the interest of this society,
Prof. Boyer, of Tulane University,
has Just made tour of the coast
parishes and islands, an account
of which is printed elsewhere.
DR.. Boyer, acting under autho-
fity of the association which he
represents, appointed for certain
localities wardens or gamekeepers,
whose business it will be to report
and briik to punishment all vio-
lators of the State law for the pro-
lection of the birds. The salaries
of such officials will be paid by
the union.
Under the existing State law,
act 60 of 1877, it is provided:
That no person shall catch. kill or
pursue, with such intent. or have in
possession after the same has been
caught or killed, any whippoorwill.
sparrow, finch, oriole. bluebird, swallow.
night hawk, or blackbird. except when
the same shall be destructive to the fruit
or grain crop. under a penalty OF not
less than IS, nor more than $25. for
each oifense.
That no persos shall rob or destroy the
nests or eggs Of any bird whatsoever
save only those - q predatory nature
and 1pstructiveAf game or insectivor'
Gus birds, under q penalty of not less
than IS, nor more than $25. for eaah Of

the year. any song bird, especially thu

birds, except the birds be entraped o.

under penalty Of not less than s.. mol
more than SIS. for each effense. excep
when the same shall prove destructive
to thefruit or gain crops.
There is no doubt that the wan
ton killing of birds which are no
commonly used for food has eau
sed enormous damage to the crop
and to other important plants ant
trees by permitting the multipli
cation in countless swarms of in
sects which prey upon them. Th
insect depredators which defy tn

their ravages find their proper ant
