A WIDE LATITUDE. L

Another queer decision in the inter- est of topers has just been made by Boston Police court. It seems that one James Mcdonald, while in the state of alcoholic eXhiliration, gave vent to his emotions by breaking a large pane of glass in the window Of a Chelsea saloon. He was arrested, brought before Special Justice Cut Ter. and charged with malicious mis- chief-of which it appeared to be clear case. It wasn't, for the Justice, possibly to justify the Special part of his title, discharged MT. Mcdonald without so much as a reprimand. In explanation or this course, the Jus tice first read what the court diction- ary had to say about the meaning of the word malicious" and then he said that while drunken man is for some crimes as responsible as a sober man, there are cerain specific charges that may not be proved against him. Ii, he added. a drunken man breaks a pane of glass when he is in such a con dition that he does not known what he is doing, and can therefore harbor no malice he then becomes civilly re- sponsible for the damage, but cannot
 be punished criminally for the of fense. As we said when another Bos- ton Justice declared that intention to get drunk must be proved before
 man can be punished for drunkenness
 this decision opens wide vistas.

A table showing the amount of time
healthy, well-brought-up baby spends
each day in sleeping, was brought out
recently by an authority. 1t is as
follows:
For the first three weeks, from II to
10 hours.
At one month, II to IS hours.
At two months, 1G to II hours.
At three months, Is to 16 hours.
At nine months, 1872 to IA hours.
At twelve months, Is to ii hours.
After this a child should sleep as
long as possible-not less than IL IN
IL hours at night, and retain the Gus
tom of midday sleep for at least two
more years. All children require q
great deal Of sleep to make up for
the wear and tear of the day. Until
they are done growing, a regular ten
hour night should be the rule.

How to Hold Up the Skirt.

Few women have the least idea how
to hold up their skirts, and as fashion
demands long skirts on some occasions
it is most disastrous, not only for the
skirts, but for the appearance of the
wearers. A woman who can manage
her skirts gracefully and easily has a
decided advantage over her less calmly
sister, and the onlooker knows that
the ugly backs of the large majority
of woman are due to the way in which
they hold their skirts.
Skirts for dressy wear are worn
resting ON the ground, both in front,
at the sides, and with a long train
behind, and they promise to be in
vogue for some time to come. A few
remarks as to how to manage them
may not be unwelcome to those who
wear them. OF course a long dress
should not be worn in wet weather;
then common sense demands skirt
not longer than couple of inches from
the ground all around, but in dry
weather the long skirt is still worn by
many women out of doors, and it is
In nine instances out of ten held up
by grasping the back Of the skirt about
midway down, and drawing it as much
as possible toward the side, thereby
outlining the figure. How woman
can hold her skirt in this manner after
she has seen how other women look
when doing SO is a mystery. 1t is
ugly and vulgar, and it spoils her walk
as well as her entire appearance. To
hold the skirt gracefully it should be
grasped in the centre Of the back as
far down as the hand can comfortably
reach and with the hand still exactly
in the centre the skirt should be raised
just sufficiently to raise it from the
ground. BY this means the sides OF the
skirt will remain full and not dragged
in with it, as we so often see; it will
also be found much easier to walk in.
A little shake should be given to the
skirt after 1t has been gathered up.
This lets the folds or hounces at the
bottom fall into their natural positions

An Educational Hint.
ican Que

To keep girls sin touch with the
home life" at the same time that they
are gaining q college education and
high degree of intellectual cultivation
is the rather large program which MISS
Gill, the dean of Barnard College, mas
expressed wish to adopt. Miss Gil
suggests that it may be well to nave
girls who go to college take purely
social vacation of a year between the
sophomore and Junior years, in when
they may establish their place with
their own set, and cultivate the domes-
tic side of their nature. This sugges-
tion is interesting, but it seems TO go
against the American genius in one
respect. 1t Is a part Of our Natonal
character to devote ourselves with SIN
gleness and thoroughness to whatever
we undertake. We may change our
professions or devote ourselves to new
careers, but when we make change
We believe in burning our boats be-
hind us.
The American girl who goes to col
lege obeys this instinct in making
business OF it. The very thoroughness
of her devotion to the career has raised
the question whether the college edu-
cation does not produce sort Of afro
ply of the domestic impulses. The
question is one which experience must
answer. But even very studious girls
in college are apt to get their social
recesses, without taking year Off,
and we doubt il the socially deadening
influence of the college training is as
great as is often supposed.-New York

Telegraphs Through Junglea.

Reports of pushing forward of the
transcontinental South African tele-
graph line reach civilization from time
to time, by the hardships suffered by
the linemen and the physical diff
culties to be surmounted are rarely
described. The line has now been
carried up to the southern shore of
Lake Tanganyka. During the last
couple of hundred miles the road was
impossible for vehicles and all the
supplies and material had to be trans
ported by carriers. One section of
the line passes through a swamp in
which the vegetation grows to such a
height during the wet season as to
top the wire and cause troublesome
leakage. The natives cannot be in
duced to go In during the season and
cut down the weeds owing to the
swarm of crocodiles. In another Sec
ton the elephants have caused sew
eral Interruptions by breaking off the
poles. In some of the forests through
which the line passes trees are met
measuring over 100 feet in circumfer-
ence Some of the ravines are i'm
passible even to the linemen during
the rainy season owing to the paths
being under water and the rank
growth of vegetation.

| both sweetheart and provider. His
greatest difficulty was his need of an
assistant, and many was the barracu-
da and giant Jewish that escaped him
in his lonely, all-day cruises up and
down that matchless summer sea.
Sometimes he would induce some lazy
wharf idler to accompany him, some
times old Pedro, the retired Portu-
guese from whom he had bought the
boat would hail him as he stood out to
sea and help him with the work.
Sometimes, when the sea was like a
floor of cleaning onyx, his father
would sit in the stern sheets, and little
Charley would man the jib" or troll
line for small fish, but alone or with
"a crew" Tom never failed to bring
home at night enough fish so that his
earnings at the end Of the week were
almost enough to pay the running ex-
penses of the frugal little family.
1t was in the end Of August that the
Monterey, the monster coast defense
monitor, returned from her first cruise.
She had been in South American
waters for four months, and the crew
got its first shore leave on American
soil at San Diego. The big war vessel
was thrown open to visitors one Sun
day morning, and all that day Tom
Cliflin carried sightseers from the
Santa Fe pier to the Monterey. Good
seaman that he was, he was fascin-
ated with the dazzling spotlessness Of
the monitor, and every night while she
lay in port Tom came aboard to revel
in the ship-talk and yarns of officers
and men. He soon knew all the Off
GERS by name, and had formed close
friendship with seaman named Han
sen, who had lived In Chicago and was
hail fellow with every man in the crew.
Hansen was killed the night before
the Monterey sailed for Frisco. He
had gone ashore with a guard to ar
rest a half-breed Mexican stoker who

Muffs are q curious study this year,

To wear with the fur coats-the sensi-
ole ones, that is-there are fur muffs
made in the old-fashioned round
shapes, but without any thick inter-
lining OF cotton, or muffs in oblong
shape, lined with satin, or with the
same fur that is outside. These have
no interlining, whatever, except some
down. But no matter now many fur

are demanded by fashion.

green leaves fastening a bow of gray
satin ribbon. To wear with this is

PROPERTIES OF THE MAIDSTONE.
Cowpunohers of the West Place Great
Faith in the Absorbent.

The maidstone is supposed to be
taken from the stomach Of white
deer 1t is about the size of an Eng
lish walnut, and slightly porous. When
a person is bitten by an animal af-
flicted with rabies the stone is placed
on the bite. 1t Immediately sticks,
sometimes for half an hour.
One of the greatest fears of the
cowpuncher is of being bitten by Q
skunk. In the cattle country. when
the puncher is on the range and must
sleep out Of doors of nights he hardly
ever lies down on the ground without
thinking of this danger. When he Is
bitten it is almost always in the face.
Nine times out Of ten hydrophobia
symptoms develop. In most cases he
is anywhere from twenty to fifty
miles from doctor, and search is
made among the ranchers for mad
stone. The cowpuncher is simple in
his faiths, and he clings to this one.
And, indeed, many marvellous tales
are told of the success Of this some
what vague healer.
The writer knows of one remark
able case. A man in New Mexico
cattle town was bitten in the arm by
mad dog. The nearest doctor gave
his aid, but he was not able to de-
crease the swelling. A maidstone was
sent for from a distance and applied
to the bite. The curative properties
Of the stone lie in it's power of alb
sorption. 1t adhered at once to this
mans arm. Running up the elbow,
was a thin blue streak, tracing the
course of the poison. AS the stone
stuck this streak gradually decreased,
and was not to be seen when the in
animate little doctor fell off, after
thirty minutes adhesion. The stone
was put in water, and blue film i'm
mediately formed on the surface The
man got well.
The value of maidstone varies with
its owner The stone just told Of was
held at $500.

TROLLING FOR LARGE FISH.

had overstayed his leave. The guard
separated to scour the town for the
deserter, and Hansen, alone, had the
misfortune to corner him in Chinese
dive at the lower end Of town. A
knife in the dark as he was dragging
his prisoner through an alleyway, q
panic of chattering Cinnamon, who
quenched their lamps and bolted their
doors, and poor Hansen was left dying
in the mire. 1t is but four miles to the
Mexican border from San Diego, and
thither, it was supposed, the murderer
had fed.
The Mayor of San Diego offered 5000
| reward for the capture Of Hansen's
| slayer, the little police force was
thrown in fever Of activity, the Mon
terey delayed her sailing for three days
and then the crime began to be for
gotten. Tom sailed out to the fishing
grounds every morning with whomever
he could pick up. 1t was nearly a
month after the monitor had gone
when lone fisherman sitting at the
end Of the jetties that reach from the
crescent end of Coronado Island
hailed him. Young Clafln stood in
for the landing and invited the stran-
ger aboard. He wanted something to
eat, and the boy, with a sudden flut-
ter in his heart, opened his pail and
bade the stranger make himself COM
Portable. They fished all that day
with rare luck, and at sundown the
little Mother was deep with her
cargo of barracuda. Once under, the
lee of Point Iona on the homeward
trip the breeze died out, and the boat
went drifting with the tide. The
southern reaches of the entrance to
San Diego harbor are covered with
sandbars and shadows that extend two
miles along the inner side of Coronado.
The tide ran out while Little Moth

when darkness fell she went hard
aground. A dense fog came with the
night. The channel buoys disappeared

haze. and by the time flood tide came
again 1t was Impossible to steer the
boat with certainty or safety.
WED better anchor till the fog
lifts" said Tom, wondering what his
| mother world think il he stayed out
all night.
His comrade sullenly agreed, and SO
they dropped anchor. and lay rocking
in the calm cloud of mist for hours.
The stranger fell asleep In the bottom
of the boat, but Tom, big-eyed now.
his heart beating with wild excite
| ment, sat in the bow watching. 1t
must have been near midnight when
he crept down from the hull and un-
shipped the little pump. The tide was
going out again, and as he dropped the
dismantled apparatus into the sea he
heard the water gurgling into the hold.
The stranger was yet sleeping when
Tom slipped over the rail, breast high
in the water and headed for shore.
1t was 2 in the morning when he
reached the police station in San
Diego. He was bareheaded ana wet
his bedraggled shirt and trousers were
clustered with burrs and thorns, his
feet were bleeding and he could hardly
speak the words:
Captain, I've got the Mexican that
killed Hansen"
1t was daylight when they surround
ed the scuttled lugger. The Mexican
was awake, clinging to the half sub
merged mainmast. The rickety boat,
loaded with fish and bumped by the
now running seas, was going to pieces
plank by plank. Tom didn't waste a
thought over the captured murderer
after he saw the police lay hands on
him, but he shed a weak, unwilling
tear over the wreck Of the Little
Mother"
"Why did you wreck your boat,
Tom?" asked his mother that day
while the story of her boys heroism
made him the talk of the town.
"Well, nanny" he said, "I was
afraid the Mexican d get away to sea.
1 wanted him, you know, but what l
wanted most was that two hundred
dollars reward. I can buy new boat
for half the money."-John II. Raj

Sturdy and Happy Men.
On the Sunday morning when all the
church bells were changing and good
Blagovestchensk folks were fastening
armed with prayer books, to worship,
took a solitary walk along the Amur
side. On the way l passed through the
camp where are stationed some 5000
soldiers. 1t was well situated near a
wood The officers quarters were OF
timber, painted white, and there were
scraggy gardens in front. There were
great long sheds for the troops, but
most of the men were under canvas.
Their tents were pitched on quite a
different plan to that adopted by Brit
ish troops. There was first built up q
square of sods, not unlike a sports
mans shelter you see on the moors at
nome, with an entrance on one side,
On the top Of this was fixed the tent,
which was really sort of square can
vas lid which would throw the rain
beyond the bank. In each were six
beds and there was plenty of room to
stand up. At every point was SOL
dier on guard, bugles were continu-
ousiy sounding, officers and their or
deriies were galloping about. For

over me- and, although received many
curious glances, l strolled where
pleased, with never a word of hind
rance
These Russian white-bloused Tom
mics were Just as "larky" as their red
jacketed friends at Aldershot, says a
correspondent of the London News. In
one or two places men were put out on
parade, but most of them were spend
ing their Sunday as they pleased. From
some Of the tents came the bleat of ac-
cordions, and young fellows were
laughing and singing. Then I came
across group having wrestling
matches; next some young fellows were
testing their jumping powers; then
groups squatted in the shade of the
trees smoking and gossiping. l must
say that they were all sturdy, well set
and healthy men, clean and neat, and
quite happy.

With basket of luncheon and pail

tie Mother" swinging gracefully at
her moorngs, no longer dingy and
black, but radiant in a coat of fresh
white paint, her sails mended and ship

from her peak and her name in bold
