CHIEF JUSTICE MARSHALL AT
TWENTY,

In l775, Marshall was about six feet
high, straight, and rather slender, of
dark complexion, showing little if any
rosy red, yet good health, the outline
of the face nearly a circle, and within
that. eyes dark to blackness, strong
and penetrating, beaming with intel
ligence and good nature; an upright
forehead rather low, was terminated
in a horizontal line by a mass of ra-
ven-black hair, of unusual thickness
and strength. The features of the
face were in harmony with this out
line. and the temples fully developed.
The result of this combination was in
teresting and very agreeable The
body and limbs indicated agility
rather than strength, in which. how
ever, he was by no means deficient.
He wore a purple or pale blue hunt
ing shirt. with trousers of the same
material fringed with white. A round
black hat, mounted with the bucks
tail for a cockade. crowned the figure
and the man. He went through the
manual exercise by word and motion,
deliberately pronounced and perform
ed in the presence of the company
before he required the men to imi-
tate him; and then proceeded to eX-
ercise them with the most perfect
temper. Never did a man possess a
temper more happy. or if otherwise,
more subdued or better disciplined

ferred upon Thomas w. Lawson of Bos-

devices which keep Lawson's name be-
fore the public follow each other in
bewildering succession, and inciden-
tally the copper stocks in which his
treasure if not his heart lies are not
forgotten. 1t is not a long period
which has included Lawson's purchase
of the $4,000 carnation, his successes
on the turf, his offer to pay a Massa-
chusetts town 100000 if it would
change its name to the euphonious ap-

The April number of the New Eng
land magazine is of special interest
to Nermonters from the fact that, in
its opening article, George w. Perry
tells the story of Ticonderoga, des-
criptive and historical, and its capture
by Ethan Allen. The article is pro-
fusely illustrated, including a full-page
reproduction of Larkin G. Mead S
statue of Allen in the capitol at Wash
ington, which forms the frontispiece
of the number.

In the Cities of the World.

The cities of the world one after one,
Like camp fires of night, in ashes gray
Crumble and fan; the wind blows them
away.
Karnak and Naucratis and Babylon
Where now are their kings palaces of
stone?
As the card houses children build in
play,
Tempest and flame and ruin and decay
Have wasted them and all their lights
are gone.
Thus, even thus Manhattan. London,
Rome,
Like unsubstantial figments shall depart
Their treasure boards of wisdom and of
art,
Which war and toll have won, a ruthless
hand
VIII scatter wide, as jewels the wild
foam
Gathers and wastes md. buries in the
sand.

O sport. sport, how many crimes are
committed in thy name, Twenty
thousand pigeons are being slaughtered
this week at Queens, Lond Island. to
make trap-shootcrs holiday. More
than 5000 of these emblems of peace
will be required to furnish living tar
gets for the marksmen in the princi-
pal event of the Grand American
Handicap" and $4,000 other beautiful
and innocent birds will be riddled in
deciding other contests. A small per-
centage of the pigeons will survive.
few of them, however, unscathed and
many of them grieYously manned or
injured. These survivors will haunt
the scene of the slaughter of their
fellows for a few days and then add
themselves to the colonies of tame
pigeons in the neighborhood. There
is something inherently wrong in the
man who is willing to kill and tor
ture any of Gods creatures simply to
make sport The men who join in
the autumnal hunts for points and
those who hunt or fish to see how big
a record they can make are in the
same cruel class with the trap-shoot-
ers. 1t is fitting to recall the famil-
lar lines from Cowper:
would not enter on my list of friends
(Though graced with polish'd manner
and fine sense.
Yet wanting sensibility) the man
Who needlessly sets foot upon a worm.

A new and lucrative industry has
been been developed in several west
ern Kansas counties. 1t is the dig
ging of the root of a weed known as
the snake plant, which is plentiful in
the region. This root is a powerful
astringent, and has other medicinal
qualities which make it much in de-
mand by wholesale dealers in drugs.
One man in Stockton employs many
hands. and within eighteen months
has shipped out $4,000 pounds of the
root. One hand averaged one hundred
pounds daily for twenty-one days. and
the pay for the work was $3.50 per
day. There is another wild plant in
western Kansas known as the "rosin
weed" which finds a ready market
and is being handled in large Quanti-
ties. 1t also has medicinal virtues.
The digging time of both of these
roots is from September to March,
when the sap is down.
