Common Sense In Law.

When we are told that every law
must be enforced to the letter though
The heavens fall, it has brave sound,
but wise regard for the public good
demands that the laws be so executed
that the heavens may not fall. The
maxim that "the extreme of the law
may be the extreme Of Injustice
'summum jus, summa injuria"-is of
venerable age and has had the approx
al of the best Jurisprudence as we'll
as the best craftsmanship Of many
centuries. 1t is not mere 'sophistry"-I
as somewhat hastily, I suppose, it has
been called-but it may we'll be quoted
In support of the application of simple
common sense to complicated and per-
picking eXlgencies. think there Is not
a government in the world, not even
the most conscientious, that does not
refrain from rigidly enforcing to the
letter some laws standing ON its statute
books, either because they are anti
Quated or because such enforcement Isl
practically impossible or, If beneficial,
would result in evils greater than those
which those laws are to prevent or re-
press.-Carl Schurz.

The Side De Morny Cared For.

The Due de Morny, half brother to
Louis Napoleon, was ambassador ex-
traordinary to the emperor of Russia
during the coronation festivities and
wrote home that the French might
learn something from the Russians, If
it We're only how to light 10000 can
dies in five minutes De Morny was in
Paris the night before the coup dctat
and spent the evening at the opera.
Between the acts he went into one of
the boxes to speak to a lady Of his
acquaintance.
What shall you do, NJ. de Morny,"
asked lady, IF the national assembly
is swept out of doors as threatened"
Madame" he replied, II shall try to
be on the side of the broom handle."-

A Survival of the Primitive.

A Philadelphia philosopher thus eX-
plains the general preference for wall
table in restaurant: primitive man
ate in peril The cave bear, the saber
tooth tiger, even some warrior of his
own kind, was apt at any moment to
leap upon him and to devour his food
and perhaps himself. Therefore he
took his meals with his back against a
cliff or in the corner Of two adjoining
cliffs, If possible, and with the open
country before him. That, you see,
was the safest way for him to eat. He
could not then be surprised.
"And we still have in us that memory
Of the primitive man, and we still I'M
consciously, when we sit down to our
repasts, choose places that give us a
wall for our protection. That and not
n desire to see things is what causes us
to pick out walls and corners. You can
see as we'll from the middle Of room
or from any other place. you know"

Preparing Dates.

The preparation Of dried dates Is car.
ried on largely at Awabi, and as the
season had now commenced l took the
opportunity to observe the process and
was taken round the factories by the
sheik. The dates selected are picked
before they are quite ripe. The fac
tory had a chimney about fifteen feet
high and contained several open, cir
cular, copper boilers, capable Of hold
ing five gallons each and nearly full Of
water. Into these vessels the dates are
put and allowed to simmer over slow
fire. AS the water in the copper de.
creased from evaporation it was filled
up again, but it gradually became
inspissated by the extraction of the
Juice of the date. The fruit Is left in
the water about half an hour and Is
then taken out and spread on mats or
cloths in the sun to dry, after which 1t
becomes hard and of pale red color.
1t is exported in large quantities from
Muskat to India.-Geographical Jour-

A Queer Marriage Custom.

In the Loo Choo islands there are
some curious marriage customs. One
consists in the bridegroom going round
to all his friends houses and permit
ting them to dress him up in any ride
ulous style that they fancy. Some
times the happy man Is arrayed in a
gayly painted kimono, the sleeves OF
which are tied up with string laden
with bells, toys and trumpets. A mask
is then put on and red hat, the rig
out" being completed by an empty kerr
osene tin, which rattles noisily along as
he walks, accompanied generally by a
crowd Of children.

One Of Our VicesY

It is peculiarly necessary that we IN
America should understand the dan.
ger of morbid self consciousness, for 1t
is one of our two most distinctive ma
tional vices, being equaled only by our
irreverence. 1t Is no accident that
more books are written about America
than concerning any other land, nor
does 1t mean that we are more interest
ing, except to ourselves, than the rest
of the world. 1t does mean that we are
go self conscious, so Oversens1t1ve to
praise and blame-above all, so anxious
to know what our neighbors are saying
about us-that any traveller, however
inane and incapable, who spends few
weeks upon our soil may return home
and write his book about us, and we
buy it by the hundred thousand. We
are doing great things, thanks to our
opportunities and our forefathers, but
how much greater might we do could
we use in quiet, simple action the time
and energy we spend in pluming our
selves upon our achievements.-Ed-
ward Howard Grlggs In Ladies' Home

The Moon Kept ON Shining.

Vne MOON hept ON Sn1nln8.
"A certain well known Judge was once
violently attacked by young and very
impudent counsel. 10 the surprise of
everybody, the judge heard him quite
through, unconscious Of what was said
by those present, and made no reply.
After the adjournment for the day
and when all were assembled at the
hotel where the judge and many of the
court folk had their refreshments. one
Of the company asked the judge why
he did not rebuke the impertinent fell
low.
"Permit me-" said the judge loud
enough to attract the attention Of the
whole company, among whom was the
barrister In question-'permit me to
tell you a little story. My father, when
we lived In the country, had dog, a
mere puppy, may say. Well, this
puppy would go out every moonlight
night and bark at the moon for hours
together"
The judge paused, as If he had fin
ished.
"Well, what of it" exclaimed half a
dozen Of the audience at once.
"Oh, nothing-nothing, but the moon
kept shining on, just as If nothing had
happened"

DlSINFECTlNG A SHIP.
isoist Heat, a Thorough Germicidal
Agent, IL Used.

Agent, IL Used.
When the vessel has tied up to the
wharf in New Orleans, the first step is
the removal Of the bedding, clothing
and cushions and other cloth fabrics to
the quarantine shed. Here they are
hung on framework consisting Of
series Of racks suspended from long
car running on track and so arranged
that when the racks are filled the
whole thing may be run inside one Of
the three great dislnfecting cylinders
with which the station is equipped.
These cylinders are enormous steel
boilers fifty feet in length by eight feet
in diameter and fitted inside with con-
tinuous coils Of steam pipe. The cylin-
ders are covered with asbestus and
bwathed in felt, and when the cylinder
caps are on they are alright. When
the clothing has been placed inside and
the cylinders closed, dry heat is forced
through the pipes at temperature Of
100 degrees, and this Is followed by
moist heat raised to temperature Of
230 degrees. The pressure Of from six
to eight pounds put upon this steam
heat is sufficient to force 1t through
heavy mattresses or bundles of cloth
ing.
After a period which varies from
thirty minutes to an hour the cylinders
are opened the racks are run out, and
the rapid evaporation which follows
causes the clothing to dry almost i'm
mediately. The clothing is unframed
by this process, and the moist heat is q
thorough germicidal agent. 1t is an in
terestlng fact that if freshly launder-
ed linen shirt or collar is put into the
cylinder it will emerge thoroughly
moist and apparently in need Of anoth-
err starching. The evaporation is so rap
i'd, however, that it is Immediately re-
stored to its original condition, not
even the gloss being removed.-Leslie's
