When the examination of witnesses
had been concluded and the lawyers
on both sides had made their argu-

one Of the court officers II the goat
could be produced. The judge was
informed that the goat was in the

Judge to take the goat into the street

LABOR IN BERLIN.

The yearly report Of the official in
sDectors OF the state OF labor in Berlin
and its suburbs OF CharIottenburg.
Schcneberg and Rixdorf gives the total
number Of persons employed in factories
and workshops within this area during
1901 as 233. 7e2. or about one-tenth OF
all the persons so employed in Prussia,
says the London Times" This total
includes 15z. S51 men, CO. 40 women, a.
424 young persons OF fourteen to six
teen years Of age, and forty-seven chill
drer. OF the women %. OBS are from six
teen to twenty-one years old and 43, 400
over twenty-one years old.
The total number Of those employed
in factories and workshops only in
creased by I.g per. cent IN the preceding
year The number Of male workers de-
creased by IL per cent. but there was an
Increase Of 10.I per cent in the number
Of females employed. The dulIness of
trade has thrown many persons out Of
work. Inquiries made by the inspectors
in 232 establishments showed that IN
the metal and machine industries the
building. carpenteTing and allied trades,
there was decrease Of from IS eco 20
IS, 000 in the number oT persons cru
ployed in October, 1901, as compared
with October. 1900. The iron foundrics
dispensed with about 80 per cent of their
hands. II was calculated that in the
month of November about 1900 factory
hands were out of work Many firms
have curtaiIed the hours OF work. The
workmen in the machine factories, for
example have earned on an average 10
Per cent less than usual
One consequence of the slackness IN
the labor market has been to render the
housing question, especially in the
northern and eastern quarters, less
acute. since many persons have left
Berlin IN the hope of finding employ
ment elsewhere. The complaint, how
ever, is made that the suburb Of Char
lOttenbuTg, which is largely inhabited
by the weil-to-do classes. puts difficult
ties in the way Of the erection Of indus
trial dwellings.

VIRTUES OF THE PINEAPPLE.

The partaking Of a slice Of pineapple
after a meal is quite in accordance with
physiological Indications, sioce, though
Il may net be generally Known, fresh
pineapple Juice contains remarkably
active digestive principle similar to pep
sin, says the Lancet" This principle
has been termed "bromelin." and so
powerful is its action upon proteids that
IL will digest as much as LOCO times its
weight within a few hours. It's diges-
tive activity varies in accordance with
the kind Of prcteid to which it is sub
jected. Fibrin disappears entirely after
q time With the coagulated aIbumeh
Of eggs the digestive process IS slow,
while with the albumen Of meat its &C
ton seems first TO produce a pulpy

pletely dissolyes after short time.
When q slice of fresh pineapple is placed
upon = raw beefsteak the surface Of the
steak becomes gradually gelatinous, ow-
ing to the digestive action of the en-
lyme of the juice
Of course. it is well known that diges,
tive agents exist also in other fruits.
but when it is considered that an av-
eraged size pineapple will yield nearly
two pints OF juice II will be seen that
the digestive agent is destroyed in the
cooked pineapple. but unless the pineap-
pie is preserved by heat. there is no
reason why the timed fruit should not
retain the digestive power. The active
digestive principle may be obtained
from the juice by dissoIying 4 large

HOW JUDGE OOLDFOOLE
EMULATED SOLOMON
By c. R.

When Representative Henry NJ.
Goldfogle Of the Ninth Congressional
district IN New York, was on the
bench several years ago, he was fire.
quently referred to as the Solomon
Of the Court by reason of the fact
that On several occasions he applied
! the rules of common sense in dispos-
ing of conflicting testimony from lay
man and expert His decisions IN
such eases were never appealed.
One of the most interesting cases
of this character ever tried IN any
court was the suit Of Michael Sanity,
an Irishman, against Raphael Tassi.
an Italian. Sanity sued Tassi for the
recovery of a trick goat and twin
kids. the value of which was placed
at $3.50, It was also claimed that the
goats tail was marked with d green
tip, Ireland's national colGr
TaSsi did not deny having the
s'iady goat" He claimed to have
bought the ANNA! from a woman
named Julia Griseoll- Sanity charged
that the goat had been stolen, that
after a long search he discovered his
property in Tassi's possession
These were the facts out Of which
grew some very interesting and con
fusing testimony and involve the
examination of a number of wit
nesses, including several experts on
goats.
Tassi said the lady goat was but
a year old, that she was lame and
that he bought her from the owner,
Julia Griscoll. This statement about
the purchase of the animal was not
denied. As the age Ct tie goat had
been questioned, several experts were
called to testify

LOSS OF VALUABLE SERVICES

It Is greatly to be regretted that the
Commissioners are prohibited by
statute from availing themselves Of
the offer of a number Of local ply
sicians TO establish a regular system
Of public school inspection free Of
charge to the District The offer Is
one which does honor to the gentle
men who made 1t and shows forth IN
the most admirable manner the IN
selfish interest of the medical profes-
sion Of the city in the health of the
pupils IN our public schools The
physicians offer is all the more
praiseworthy because a bill had been
introduced during the last session of
Congress to provide for the medical
inspection Of public schools and had
failed OF passage.
The statute which forbids the ae-
ceptanee of this tender was passed
about four years ago and interdicts
the use of voluntary services of any
kind BY 5he District Commissioners.

WHAT A BOY CAN DO
NIXON WATERMAN in the "christian Endeavor World"

These are some of the things boy can do:
He can shout SO loud the air turns bue;
He can make all sounds of beast and bird,
And a thousand more they never heard.
He can crow or cackle, chirp or cIuck,
Till he fools the rooster, hen, or duck,
He can mock the dog or lamb or cow.
And the cat herself can't beat his meow"
He has sounds that are rufied, striped, or plain;
He can thunder by ike a railway train,
Stop at the stations q breath, and then
Apply the steam and be of again.
He has all of his powers IN such command
He can turn right into fuH brass band,
With all Of the instruments ever played,
And march away as street parade
You can tell that a boy Is very i'll
If he's wide awake and IS keeping still;
But earth would be-God bless their noise!-
