Frontier Justice.

tice that prevails in some remote Sec,
lions of the frontier: i,
A certain justice of the peace whose
knowledge of the law was never gained
from books or actual practice before
the bar was hearing an assault and
battery case. The lawyer for the de-
tense was shouting his arguments
when the court said:
That will Dc. Sit down."
He then adjusted his spectac1es and
sagely observed:

Pigeon valet to = Crow.

tom" was the name given to a
lordly young crow. Beauty was a
snow white pigeon of about the crows
age, with whom he was reared. Just
how it came about we never knew, but
we soon discovered that Beauty reeu-
larly acted as maid-of-allswork 6 Tom.
She fetched ~andScarried morsels Of
food at his imperious command, and
one of her unvarying duties was the
preening of her masters feathers.
Tom was very much of a dandy; his
coal black plumage always appeared
perfectly dressed and shining, but the
arduous labor Of his toilet was per-
formed for him twice every day by the
humble and afectionate pigeon. Our
fine gentleman would come in from a
roll in the dust or a dipin the fountain,
and, seating himself upon q certain
railing. utter a short, sharpfcall. In
Estantly Beauty would descend to his
side and begin her task, f~uttering
k~anxiously from side to side as she
worked, drawing each shining black
feather carefully out to it's full length
On her pink bill; Tom, meanwhile, doz-
ling luxuriously with closed eyes, after
the manner of the complacent patron
Fof a skilled barber. If Beauty unfor-
stunately pulled q feather too hard a
4squawk and a sudden peck informed
her of her mistake.-Ladies' Home

stereoscopic study Of the Moon.

stereoscopfc Study of the Moon.
B It has been observed that ~on}account
of the absence of an atmosphere on the
moon and the consequent lack of gra-
dalton in shadows, the eye Of the OBJ
server is seriously misled in judging
THE actual relief Of objects forming
athe lunar landscapes. Prof. Prinz, Of
Brussels, has recently developed q
method of avoiding this difficulty, and
of seeing the craters and other. details
on the moon in their natural proper
lions. Taking advantage of the fact
that as the moon travels around the
earth the eccentricity of its orbit pro-
duces the effect of a slow libration, or
balancing to and fro, which causes its
face to be inclined now a little one
way and now a little the other way,
Prot. Prinz makes two photographs Of
the lunar object to be studied, at oppo-
site points in the libration, and then
combines themi in a stereoscope where.
upon the object stands forth in full
relief. This principle has hitherto been
applied only to photographs of the
moon as a whole, and not to particular
craters or regions.-Science.

The Animals OF India.

It is said that the fauna of India
has not lost q single species of NAM
NAL. bird or reptile, not merely
during the nineteenth century, but
within the period of definite history.
There is one animal the extermina-
ton OF which, If not imminent, is not
improbable, namely, the Indian rhi-
noceros. The tiger, which destroyed
900 human lives in the latest reported
year, has q prospect of survival which
the most. p~essimistic prophet cannot
dim with predictions of destruction.
Except for exhibition purposes. the
tiger does not seem a desirable con.
temporary; the rhinoceros is still
more picturesque and greatly less
harmful.-Nature.

5Chautauqua would miss the favor
tie Indian band a great deal and
everyone is glad to see them back.
In some places the grounds
need a little more cleaning and it
would be a good idea if the.people
would kill off severalhundred dogs.
They disturb the speakers and the
patrons of the assembly. Last
year dogs were a nuisance, but it
seems the management failed to
profit by the example.
AS a whole. however, the asso-
citation deserves credit for the way
in which the session opened and
the talent hereafter will be much
better than on the first few days.
Among the happiest boys on the
grounds during the G.. A. r. en-.
campment was Capt. Anderson.
He accidently ran across an old
member of the 46th Pennsylvania,
Capt. Alderson's regiment, in the
person Of Lieut.. Segfried, of San
born. These old comrades had
not seen each other since the grand
review in Washington thirty-fve
years ago. Their visit with each
other was mutually enjoyable.
It would look better if a piano
stool were furnished instead of
that chair for the players.
Rev. John T. M. Leuttenberger,
Of Dorchester, Ill, gave an address
full of patriotism Saturday night
and made a decidedly favorable
impression on his auditors. Mr..
Leuttenberger has an address on
the Passion Play and one on
"Oriental Customs" and many
would be pleased to see the asso-
citation procure him for at least
zone Of these lectures.
Fuller Swift, Of Chicago, the
stage superintendent has made
friends Of everyone on the grounds.
He is obliging and a hard worker
and will help to make this years
assembly the greatest ever.

The Tailor Bird Of 1ndi..

Most curious are the sewing or tail

not much larger than ones thumb. To
escape falling a prey to snakes and
monkeys the tailor bird picks up a
dead leaf and flies up into q high tree,
and with a fiber for q thread and its
bill for a needle sews the leaf on a
green one hanging from the tree; the
sides are sewed up, an opening being
left at the top. That a nest is swing

The new bishop of London is by no
means the first bachelor occupant Of
the see. For $50 years after the
reformation settlement of Elizabeth
it was the exception for the bishopt
OF London to be a married man.
Bishop Sandys (1570-1577), afterward
archbishop of York, was the first
married bishop of London. and there
have been many married bishops
since. At the present time three out

GHhUThUQUh:


The eighth annual assembly Of
the North Dakota Chautauqua
association opened on Friday last.
The day was rainy and the crowd,
though a large one, would have
been much larger except for the
weather, The G. A, R. and ". R.

many tents and cottages on the
associations property as this year.
The "White City," as it used to
be called, while there may be as
many tents to constitute that city,
is fast becoming more like a city,
!. this due to the fact that each year
cottages by the score are. being
erected, making the place look
beautiful and lasting. -
Probably the greatest improve

Chautauquans have no complaint

of great surprise to the assembly.

Cure For Insomnia.

the invasion of electricity. My old
friend Bounce, who was victim OF In
somnia for 40 years, thinks he sleeps
now better than any other man on
earth. He lost his way In the Adiron-
dacks and staid overnight In the cabin
of q forester. His sleep was the deep
sleep of just man made perfect and
in the morning he found that he had
not moved half an inch all night.
'Tts the insulation" the forester In
sisted. "You city folks are KILN your
selves with contact. If you'll break
the contact you'll be able to sleep and
get your nerves back"
This matter Of contact was finally
explained to mean that our bedposts
are In contact with the floors, the
floors with the walls and the walls
with mother earth, so that whatever
personal magnetism man has In him
goes away In the nighttime, leaving
him like log on his mattress. The
forester had obtained four glass insu-
lators from telegraph poles somewhere
and screwed them on the posts CT MS
guest bed. so that the electricity could
not run away. Bounce the very day be
got home insulated his bed, and from
that moment to the present his insom-
mia has been banished. - New YORK
