Almost every business and profess
sion has given the most picturesque
words in its particular vocabulary To
enrich the language. From the Stock
Exchange, for instance, come bulls"
and bears" a corner" and mar
gins" though these words were origi-
nally borrowed and given new mean
ing by the stock brokers.
From the stage has come another
whole set Of words which are now in
general use. The words mascot" and
"hoodoo" were invented on the stage
and have since been added to the vo-
cabulary of the general public. An
other common word which originated
on the stage and passed thence into
newspaper Offices is fake" Today
almost every one would knew what is
meant when a man is described as a
takir or plan as a fake The stages
through which fake passed before 1t

cess through which all slang express
sions go before they find admittance
into the dictionary. First fake" was
invented to describe something tricky
or intended to deceive. Actors faxed"
their scenery; they faxed" their lines.
Then the expressive word was taken
up by the newspapers, and a writer
who paid no attention to facts was de-
nounced for writing fakes" Finally,
the general public got hold of the
word After having been in general
use for a few years, Mr.. Howells and
other writers let it into their pages
without the apology of quotation
marks. Then the men who make die
tionaries took it up, and behold the
recently despised fake" was admitted
into all circles.-Chicago Tribune.

The Playful Channels.

Nearly all animals are fond of play,
and sometimes their play is almost a
systematic game. If you should come
across a lot of goats playing football,
with chosen sides, captains and all
that sort of thing, you would be
speeches. with amazement, and yet
a tourist saw something on the Alps
that is scarcely less astonishing.
1t was in summer, and a flock Of
chamois had climbed up to where the
snow never melts, evidently to play
on it. Their movements were so pc
culiar that he watched them carefully.
They had found steep, snow-covered
incline, to the upper end of which
they went in body, just like a party
of boys intent on coasting.
And that is precisely what the cham
ois intended, for two or three of them
at time would crouch down at the
beginning of the descent, work all four
legs to get a start and slide over the
surface of the snow to the bottom.
When they reached the bottom they
would rise, shake themselves and
climb UP the incline again, only to re-
peat their trip down. This they did
time and time again, their comrades
at the upper end watching them with
great interest until it came their turn
to coast
The coasting ground was about $50
yards from top to bottom, and the
chamois would shoot down it with the
speed of sleds, the snow rising about
them in a powdery dust
There could be no doubt whatever
that they did it for sport, and they
seemed to enjoy it as much as boys
enjoy coasting down a well-packed
hill.-Tacoma Ledger.

SOME MARBLE LORE.
Poor Folk in Germany Make Most of the
Common Agates.

OOA EOAA III ObAlhaAy 4uahb uAubL OA the
Common Agates.
Nearly all the agate marbles that
rattle around and wear holes in the
pockets of all schoolboys on earth are
made in the State of Thuringia, Ger
many.
On winter days the poor people, who
live in villages, gather together small
square stones, place them in moulis
something like big coffee mills, and
grind them until they are round The
marbles made in this way are the
common china, painted china, glazel
china, imitation agates and black and
white ballots. These are very cheap,
ranging in price, according to size,
from 10 to 60 for five cents.
Imitation agates are made from
white stone and are painted to repre-.
sent the pride of the marble players
heart-the real agate The painted
china marbles are of plain white stone,
with lines crossing each other at right
angles painted upon them The bal
lots are little black and white mar
bles that look as though they would
never stop rolling if once set in mo-
ton.
Glass alleys are blown by glass
blowers in the town of Lauscha, Ger
many. The expert workmen take a
piece of plain glass and another bit of
red glass, heat them redhot, blow
them together, give them a twist and
there is a pretty alley with the red
and white threads of glass twisted in
side into the form of the letter S. e
Large twisted alleys and plain glass
alleys with the figure of a dog or
sheep inside are made for very small
boys and girls to play with The mar
bles most priced by the young Ameri-
can of today are the real agates
These marbles are seal brown or black
in color, and many of them have
large, round circles on them that look
like eyes. They sell for five, 10 and
Is cents each, and the boy who has a
real agate with a lucky eye peeping
out at him from a glossy surface is
envied.
1t is said that the only marbles
made in America are the common ones
that boys can buy almost handful of
for a cent.

a barrister's fees are small and
they are always paid in advance. and
the sum i8 recorded under the title
of the brief A friend who had a
large practice showed me his Textbook
recently Tho largest item was 80
guineas, which is less than $500. The
average was about $50. Fees are reg
ulated by the benchers OF the inn ac-
cording TO the service performed, and
no contingent fees are allowed. A
barrister may accept a case for moth
ing or return the fee In cases Of
charity but he cannot without violat-
Ing his oath, directly or indirectly, ac-
cept any greater compensation for
legal service than Is allowed in the
regular schedule fixed by the benchers
Of his inn. II he does so he is de-
barred from practice.
1t is a common custom in America
for a lawyer to undertake a suit for
the recovery Of damages or claim
Of any kind with a contract that he
shall receive a certain percentage Of
the amount of money recovered. In
England such an act would be con-
sidered disreputable, and any barris-
ter found guilty would be expelled
from his inn. The fees are regulated
by the amount of time and labor re-
CURED, and not by the amount of mon
ey involved. A barrister may receive
a fee of $3.50 in a case involving only
$500, and he may receive fee of $25
in a case involving $1,OOO,OOO.
All legal business originates with
solicitors They bring to the barris-
ters Office a case, all prepared after
certain forms and written in manu-
script The British courts do not per-
NIT typewriting. The solicitor re-
quests the barrister to undertake the
case, and the fee is marked plainly
upon the brief If the barrister does
not care to undertake the labor for
the amount Of money allowed, or for
any other reason, he advises the solicit
tor to go elsewhere If he accepts the
responsibility, the solicitor leaves the
amount of the fee in coin with the
| brief, so that the barrister has his
pay in advance This is the almost
| invariable custom. The only excep-
tons are in cases of close friendship
between the solicitors and barristers,
and there is a large amount of litiga-
ton in which both are involved. Then
it is customary for the barrister to
make up his bill at the end of the
month or the end of the quarter, but
! the fee in each case must, neverthe-
less, be written upon the brief and
recorded in the books of the court.
1t is customary also, for the solicit
| tor to leave a fee for the barrister's
clerk at the same time which must be
a certain percentage of that paid to
| the barrister. When you dine at a
hotel or restaurant in England it is
customary to tip the waiter an amount
equal to 5 percent of your bill, for the
same reason. The waiter receives no
compensation from his employer, nor
| does the barrister's clerk His pay
comes entirely from his clients, and
if his principal has no clients he gets
no pay. On the other hand, if his
principal has a very large and prof
table practice, his fees are enormous.

TREATY.
Whole Chinese Question IL Compile
Gated by the Attitude Assumed
Toward Russia Manchuria Will
Not BE Evacuated by Russia Until
the other Powers Withdraw
Their Troops From China Proper
Other Powers Cannot Help
China Even by Moral Support.

Washington, April 6.-Diplomats here
fail to see what China IS to gain from
the rejection of the treaty with Russia.
1t will simply delay the. evacuation of
Manchuria by the Russian troops. 1t Is
not believed that Russia will retire with
cut some treaty assurances OF protection
TO her great property. as no other gov
ernment would do so.
The other powers cannot help China
even by moral support, for not one of
them, except the United States, Is pre-
pairing to withdraw their troops from
China. England and Germany have made
no move toward the withdrawal of troops,
but on the contrary are planning to per-
manently garrison the route from Pekin
to the sea, so that they can always be in
reach of the capital. II is not probable
that Russia will evacuate Manchuria
while the other powers keep their troops
In Pekin and China proper, so China has
nothing to gain and something to lose by
refusing to sign any treaty with Russia
by which evacuation was to be accom-
clished. The whole Chinese question is
complicated by sue: al act. if the report
Is true that China has refused 20 sign.

upward of $4,000. Two months ago bust
ness men Of Luverne. impressed with the
need of a first-class hotel, organized a
stock company and subscribed literally
for stock. It was not expected that the
hotel would render profit, but the object
was to provide hotel corresponding to
the needs and size Of the town. A desir-
able location has been secured. and the
contracts were to-day signed for the con-
struction of the building. Philip McGrsw
Of Mankato has the contract for the
plumbing at S1,7O0. and H. Kelley & Co.
