The Judge Gives Reasons for Ruling
Against the Farm Hands.
Justice does not always frown, for
now and then judge will unbend and
illuminate his decisions with the light
of humor. Sterling B. Torrey, judge of
| the Circuit Court of Jefferson County.
Kentucky, is such magistrate. Here
is the decision which he rendered In a
| suit brought by a Farmland against
| his employer to recover damages for
having poisoned bimself with Paris
green, which he was ordered to put on
potato-bugs. 1t was a hot day, and
the man had turned back his shirt at
the throat, exposing his chest to the
poison. The judge said:
The plaintiff exceeded the scope of
his employment in sprinkling Paris
green elsewhere than on the potato
vines, as his special and exclusive
agency was to kill the bugs basking in
the shade Of said potato-vines; the
plaintiffs act in allowing the defend
ants Paris green to come in contact
with his flesh, instead of with the flesh
of the bugs, was unauthorized and ultra
wires; the mental and physical suffer
ing of which the plaintiff complains
was the result of his own wrong in
misapplying the defendants Paris
green to purposes other than those for
which he was employed to apply it, and
besides. is damnum absque injuria; the
plaintiff. in opening his clothes and ex-
posing himself to the Paris green. was
guilty of contributOry negligence; the
plaintiff knew as well as the defendant
that Paris green was poisonous. If he
did not know that Paris green was a
poison, this suit should not have been
brought in his name, but by guard

Taking the factory to the raw ma.
teral instead of bringing the material

put in operation on the Mississippi
River by button factory. and it is a
plan that has many practical advan-
tages. TLis factory is a boat forty
two feet long and twelve feet wide.
with all OF the necessary machinery
for the manufacture of buttons, and
provided with a three horse power en-
gine for it's work. The principal ma
terial used by this factory is mussel
shells, which are found at nearly all
points along the river, and one of the
great expenses in conducting the busi-
ness heretofore has been the cost Of
transporting the shells. Now the fac
tory has reversed the operation and
will go to the mussels. When a bed
of the shells is found the boat will drop
anchor and go to work. When the bed
is exhausted it will go on to a new To-
cation. In this fashion it will go from
State to State, from Minnesota to
Louisiana. passing along with the sea-
sons. On the boat the workmen have
their home with all it's comforts, with
freedom from land rent and the visits
of tax collectors.

WHY HIS sTove WOULDN'T HEAT

Uncle Billy Had a Novel Plan to Keep
Down His Coal Bills.
That ignorance is bliss and that the
loftiest men should be the humblest
are two somewhat Irrelevant axioms
which often are most interesting when
traced to their remote point of conjunc-
tion.
.'Out in the cemetery the other day."
a matter-of-fact elderly man remarked:
Il noticed that Uncle Billy's tombstone
needed Strengthening up. A touch would
do it. and as pulled it into position
couldn't help smiling. Now l was not
smiling at the crooked tombstone, but
at an early recollection-an episode in
connection with this same Uncle Billy.
He was a fine man and power in
his community. but he had been frugal
ly reared-all our first settlers had to
make economy a science, you know:
and even after Uncle Billy had grown
wealthy in the wholesale dry-goods
business, he still practiced the most
rigid methods of saving, by which he
had accumulated money. was a clerk
in stove store, as we used to call
them, when he was quite an elderly
man. A bachelor he was and had
spinster sister, Aunt Sarah, Tor his
Nhousekeeper.
well, he bought a new stove from
US, fine library stove-no furnaces at
that time in the ordinary homes in this
city. In a day or two he dropped in to
complain that the stove wouldn't work
didn't throw out enough heat to warm
cat. He was droll-Uncle Billy was
but he had fine, courtly bearing, too.
The firm sent me out to his house to
see what was the matter with that
stove. At the door Aunt Sarah met me
and said in low tone: William, If
you will make your Uncle William take
peck of brickbats out of that stove
think it will hold coal enough to warm
the room
Sure enough. the stove was half-full
of brickbats. 1t was Uncle Billy's fru-
gal idea that all stoves held too much
coal for their own good, and that he
could cut down his coal bills by deep
layer of brickbats in the bed Of the
stove. 1 took them all out. of course;
he blinked painfully as l did so. Then
I made rousing fire and Aunt Sarah
soon had to open window to cool the
room.
Another nephew inherited the bulk
Of Uncle Billy's wealth." said the mat
ter-of-fact man, according to the De-
troit Free Press. 81 see his name now
and then in Boston's most fashionable
social register and hear of his elegant
seaside cottage life and l wonder-yes,
do wonder how he would feel if he
knew Of Uncle Billy's scheme to save
money for him by burning brickbats."

SALMON p. cHAsE's CARRIAGE
Still Preserved in the Shop of Wash
ington Dealer.

Still Preserved in the Shop of Wash
ington Dealer.
The carriage which was in 1862 the
handsomest equipage in Washington.
and which transported through its
streets the reigning society queen of
that day-the daughter of Salmon P.
Chase, or, as she is now remembered,
Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague-has for the
last eighteen years occupied an in
conspicuous place In the salesroom of
Thomas E. Young's carriage house in
that city.
The huge vehicle is now quaint and
out of date in many ways, though
traces of it's departed elegance are not
lacking. A well-worn footboard in the
rear gives evidence of the military ap-
pearance of two liveried footmen who
gripped with tenacity at the black
strap handles in order to maintain
their equilibrium. In front is a box
seat for the driver, draped somewhat
in the fashion Of hearse of the pres
ent day.
The interior of the carriage, with its
ample seating capacity for six persons,
is lined with heavy lilac satin. while
the handles and door latches are of
silver and ivory. The carriage is jet
black and it's heavy running gear, to-
gether with its ponderous body and
substantial trappings, gives the i'm
preston that 1t is looking with
naughty disdain on the glossy traps
which surround it in the salesroom,
never admitting for a moment that its
former glory has been lessened a whit
by the vagaries of fashion.
Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague gave the
carriage in trade for more modern
vehicle about eighteen years ago. It's
value now is simply that of a relic,
but in the estimation of Mr.. Young
this value is increasing each year.
Mr.. Young also has stored away in
his lofts the Seward carriage, which
is an exact counterpart of the carriage
shown at Buffalo as the equipage of
Abraham Lincoln. This, with the car
riage of Gen. Tecumseh Sherman
says the Washington Star, he pur-
chased about twenty years ago.

Pnpa in Boots,

Over in Paris fashion has decreed
that when the pet doggies go out for
an airing during damp weather they
must wear rubber boots. Of course,
the boots are made for dog use and
they cost $4.75 for two pairs, for a dog
with the proper number of legs must
buy his boots four at a time, you
know. They have 'em high for grey
hounds and low for dachshunds, and
thin soled or thick soled. according to
the owners taste. And they say it's
really a touching sight to see the
dogs prancing around the puddles in
their shining boots, and their little
rainy day blankets, but, alas, the hui
manity of the thing has to count
against one very unpleasant drawback.
Dogs love TO gnaw rubber, and the
consequence is they chew up their
boots just as quick as they get a
chance. No sooner is his owners gaze
turned away than even the beSt-bred
dog in Paris will sit down in the very
first puddle and worry his boots. It's
great pity. of course. but after all
dogs will be dogs.-Cleyeland Plain

HABIT CT SAVING.
The Old Reliable Road to Financial
Independence.

The Old Reliable Road to Financial
Independence.
In July of last year the individual de-
posits in the national banks in this
country amounted to $3.22S, ,000, ,OU0 The
deposits in the savings banks in the
country at the same time amounted to
50, ,597 100000. The savings banks of
the world had $S,90S, 900. represent
ing 63,07O.3O0 depositors. The average
individual account for the world was
$141.24. The average individual account
for the United States was $4S0.30.
1t Should be said in a time of prosper,
ity that no habit is more valuable to
cultivate than theihahit of saving. Pros
perity avai!s a. man nothing unless with
it he has strength of character TO save
in proportion Dickens has character
in one of his books that every line he
prospers he treats himself, so to say:
indulges himself with some extra eX-
penditure as Il reward. That is likely to
be tendency with too many. 1t is the
old truism about prosperity being more
difficult to stand than adversely. No
man can prosper that does not spend
less than he makes. He cannot greatly
prosper unless increasingly he spends
less proportionately than he makes.
While money making is a positive
achievement as much as the creation of
anything is, frugality is something that
need wait on no gift, but may be prac-
ticed by all
Whether a man be rich or poor,
whether he be gifted mentally or emo
tionally or be dull, there is for every
one in this life the lesson Of self-denial
to learn, and as this life is an exceed
ingly practical thing, the basis of self
denial might almost be said to lie in
material savings. Where man has
not the ability to increase his income
he should decrease his outgo. He that
does this will soon begin to get mar
gin. The process of saving is slow. but
it is sure. 1t can literally work won
ders, and once started it grows like the
rolling SNOWFALL. The Smallness at the
beginning should be no discouragement
There is an opportunity for the man
that can save 10 cents week as we'll
as for the man that can save $40 a
week. The way is long, and to begin
with may be difficult. but persistence in
it makes it easy. Life is more matter
Of habit than of intention, and the habit
of thrift can as easily be cultivated as
the habit of digality.-Indianapo
