LEARNED HIS LESSON.
After which He Knew Enough Not
to Rub the Court the
Wrong Way.

Some of the members of the bar were
discussing contempt cases, because of
q recent notable event in the state, and
one of the little coterie related per-
sonal experience, says the Detroit Free
Press.
II read law at home and had my ex-
aminations through a little country
lawyer who knew great deal but never
had big case and was notorious for
his ability in abusing justices of the
peace. 1t may seem a preposterous
statement, but / had never heard or
thought of such thing as contempt of
court when had my first professional
experience in common pleas court.
No sooner had the opposition attorney
made an objection than the judge ruled
against me.
II proceeded to inform him that he
was wrong, that he knew he was wrong
and that wished he wouldquit his pet
tifogging. The lawyers in attendance
were temporarily petrified, the vener-
able judge glared at me over his glasses,
finally smiled in a forgiving sort of q
way and told me to proceed. Very soon
there was another well-taken objec-
tion and again he ruled against me.
This practically took the props from
under my case, and / went at the judge
as my instructor had been accustomed
to go at justice of the peace in back
township.
"'Your honor dec,aimed, is po-
htical accident. In the eternal fitness
of things you should be digging coal or
cleaning out underbrush. You have no
more sense of justice than Zulu chief
of mercy. Thank Heaven there is
higher official tribunal in this state
that'-but there was halted by fine
of $500 or 80 days in Jail. The Judge
took me to his private room, he learned
my story and remitted the fine. To nay
5000 at that time would have pauper-
lied me. now have quite reputation
for never rubbing the court the wrong
way"
The Colfax chronicle., 1901-01-05

Swell, ma'am," the sergeant was
slowly writing and trying to live down
q smile, "well, ma'am. most av thin is
out in Washington park drillin'. How
manysdo v want?"
II need Is men!" She was tapping
the counter with her badge and the
floor with her toe, impatient for the
fray.
'Oh, it's rite, is it?"
AN assemblage that may turn into a
riot, a lot of rowdies With bagful of
poor unfortunate roosters which they
propose to make fight till they kill each
other, and in respectable neighbor-
hood, too"
AN y'r sure they had roosthers?"
why, / heard them crow!"
"Well, ma'am, you may think it
quare, but it's as thrue as gospel some
hens do be known.to crowi" and the
old wag behind the desk winked at the
fat policeman who walked in.
"Dinny," he whispered. ''go up wild
Joan av Arch and pinch tn cock-fight!" Z"
Dinny strolled around the railing,
faced the lady and growled: "Where
is ut?"
Where are your men?" she snapped,
with martial fire.
Men? haven't any men! It's
nothin' but q cock-fight, amt it, sar-
CENT?"
Then she blazed up like fiambeau
club and gave Dinny and the sergeant
piece of her mind. The idea of at
tempting to apprehend band of ruff
fans with only one policeman! From
her other pistol pocket she pulled a
notebook and pencil and demanded the
names of sergeant and patrolman. She
washed her hands of all responsibility
for the life and safety of Dinny. and
warned the sergeant that if the raid
failed Chief Kipley would learn all.
Dinny looked at her in the rayless, foot
less manner of a lay figure till she
fiounced out of the station, kissing.
I'll do my duty" and then he rlared st
the sergeant and followed in body.
Half an hour later the sergeant in
his shirtsleeves met the raiders at tho
door. "Joan av Arch" dragging mis-
cradle half-gro~n boy, led the way. He
had scrappy-looking cock of the Irish
gray variety under his arm. Two
dingy boys. each burdened with two
bags, followed. Dinny, sweating like
five cents worth of lard in paper
bag, next steamed into the roundhouse
with . well-heeled shawl-neck in one
hand and club in the other. Riley. Of
Rileg's barn. brought up the rear.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.


It has been found that dozen Por.
tuguese oysters contain about siz
grains of phosphoric acid; French
oysters have about four grsizsi pei
dozen.
According to Mulhall, the production
of tea in 1888 was as follows: China
290, 100000 pounds; India, 90,000,00t
pounds; Japan, 10000, 900 pounds, and
Ceylon, 100000 pounds
Stevedores put 22,7s2 bales of cotton
on board ship at New Orleans the other
day, thereby surprising any single
days record in the history of that port
On the same day two vessels cleared
with $4,000 and 1000 bales respective
ly.
In photographic printing aluminium
plates are fast taking the place of stone
as printing surfaces. The stone is, OF
course, always worked fat, while the
thin aluminium plate may be bent
around cylinder and consequently
worked much more rapidly in a print
ing press.
According to report published by
the home Office in London showing the
mineral productions of the world for
the last year, the United States easily
leads all it's rivals in this form OF
wealth. Great Britain ranks second,
but far behind the leader, the total
product of the United States having
been about $72o, ,000, 900, while that OF
Great Britain was $400, 100000. Ger
many stands third, with nearly $780,
00o, 900.
In observations on the microscopic
life of Arctic regions, DIR. Levin states
that, with the exception of single
species of bacterium found in one bear
and two seals, the intestinal contents
of the white bear, seal, shark, elder
duck and other Arctic vertebrates were
absolutely sterile, but bacteria were
almost invariably present in the lower
marine animals. These observations on
germ-free intestines are of special i'm
portance and interest, as they confirm
the idea of Pasteur and others that
bacteria are not essential to digestion.
p. A. Minakoff has made an exhaust
i've study of the nails of the hand, some
of the results of which he regards as
of medico-legal Importance. Among
other things he asserts that the nails
of the right hand in right-handed
person are wider by from one-half to
two millimeters than the correspond
ing nails on the left hand; while in
left-handed persons the reverse OBJ
tains, and in the ambidextrous the
nails are of equal size on the two hands.
The thickness of the nail diminishes
progressively from the thumb to the
little finger.

MANY TRAMPS In SIBERIA.
Belong to the Criminal
Classes.

from European Russia S64,549 trans
ported persons, including their fami-
lies. That is nearly the sixth part
of the actual population of Siberia.
If we confine ourselves to the last dozen
years, says the New York Independent.
we shall see that Siberia has received
in that space of time 100,5s2 trans
ported persons, of whom 95,s76 were
men and 4,706 were women. OF the
families of transported persons there
were 155 husbands, 1856 wives and
10000 children. Siberia has thus re-
ceived in the course of ~ years 15e,-
191 individuals, one-thirty-s of the
total population. If one takes into con-
sideration the number of the trans
ported only without their families we
shall see that during that period ST.
IBERIA has received for each 81 inhab-
itants criminal or man recognized
as more or less dangerous in the coun-
try of his origin. These figures per-
NIT us to draw certain important con-
clusions. First, transportation does
not contribute to the colonization of a
country. owing to the great prepon-
derance of unmarried persons; second.
the number of vicious elements intro
duced into the country passes all rea-
sonable proportion. OF the number of
transported males only 1856 were
married; the other 1882, or 81 1-3 per
cent, were unmarried.
These conclusions are completely
confirmed by detailed study of the
conditions of transported persons.
The number of transported persons re-
siding in Siberia in 1898 was 29s.574.
or nearly 100000 individuals of both
sexes. Half of these were criminals
condemned to transportation under the
criminal code, the other half under
administrative authority. But they
can hardly be distinguished one from
the other. The opprobrium of their
situation and the misery of their ex-
istence have reduced them to an ab-
solutely uniform mass. The third of
this mass-10o.o0o men--escape all con-
troll. The place of their residence is
unknown to the police. They steal ON
the highways and in villages. they beg
and extort money in every way pos
sible. In the summer they bivouac un-
der the stars and conceal themselves in
The forests of Siberia; in the winter
they move toward the cities and use
every method to secure lodgment in
the local prisons. The second 100 900
men are equally in state of vagabon-
dage, but they change their residence
to find work. If they have not lost the
habit OF work, and if they preserve
some spirit of honesty, they may sue
ceed in establishing themselves again:
II not. they soon augment the ranks
OF criminal vagabonds. OF the 100 900
who are left about 10000 are cultivators
OF the earth and furnish an element
OF order. 1t is remarkable that this
number corresponds to the number of
the transported married persons. The
other 10000 are workmen. So long as
they are young and in good health they
gain their daily bread, but when in
trinity comes many of them take to
begging and often terminate their ex-
istence in prison, which they, have
avoided until that time.

Use for Apple Refuse.

Nearly all the liners now leaving the
port of Philadelphia for Germany and
Great Britain carry in their holes hun
dreds of barrels and hogsheads of ap-
pie waste. Apple waste is the peelings,
cores and other refuse of apples. 1t
is gathered from the manufacturers OF
apple butter and kindred compounds,
and in England and Germany marina
lade and wine are made oft. A very
palatable apple wine is imported thith-
er and in certain colonies is much en-
joyed- Excellent marmalades, very ex-
pensive and very beautifully labeled
and put up, also come back for con-
sumption. Both are made of apple
waste. but few people know that.-N.

English red out of countenance, and
the latter retaliated by kicking out
one of his eyes. The red Cross -shuffled
and cut small steak of the gray's
comb. Then there was a fountain Of
roosters spouting almost to the CELL
ing. A drop of blood felD "spat". on
madam's shirt front. The six roosters
suddenly engaged in mutual and furi-
GUS effort to prepare each other for the
oven. Feathers few through the bars
and the dust of battle settled upon the
spotless calcimine of her pale face as
the lady seized the sergeant's arm and
asked:
"Are they quarreling?"
"Not thin! shure, they're only sky
larkin'."
'Tll lay two to one on the gray"
yelled Riley, forgetting himself.
''I'll take it" shouted Dinny; "he
can't stand the gaffI"
"Lookit the uppercut o. Gaffney's

on his knees with excitement.
'This must stop at once!" command

sergeant, "shure, didn't think they'd
go at it av their own accord. We must

But it took him long time to un-
lock the cell, and the battle royal did
not abate even when Joan av Arch
and Dinny Riley, all bold in the hu-
name adventure. tried to bugle truce
at the ferocious birds. Madam lost
her eyeglasses to high fiutter Of the
