In small town in one of the counties
of the State lives an elderly German who
because of the high esteem in which he is
held in the community, has been elected
Justice of the peace. The old gentleman
was recently called upon to decide most
perplexing question.
One of his neighbors is the possesso1
of dog. The dog, although not actually
vicious, delights in running out of the
gate and barking savagely at passers-by
This has been the source of great annoy
ance to the neighbors, especially to one
who vowed to get even with 1.-The pesky
critter." Recently this neighbor was re-
turning from "trip, gun in hand. He
was set upon by the dog, whereupon he
raised his weapon and fired at the brute
His aim was not very good and the dog
ran yelping, minus his caudal appendage
The owner of the dog had his neighbor
hauled before the old justice on charge
of cruelty to animals, and the courtroom
was crowded with the partisans of both
men. The Justice heard the charge, and
then the defense that the dog was a
dangerous animal and menace to the
neighborhood. The old German there
upon cleared his throat and delivered the
dictum:
"Dsr mamie has been guilty of cruelty
to animals" And one side of the court
room applauded the justice of the decis-
ion.
"But der tog-he vas a vicious toy
And the other side voiced its approval
II will fine der man fife tollars
Another murmur in the courtroom.
"But / will gife him anodder shot at der
tog." And both sides cheered New

THE INNS OF CHINA.

Redeeming Feature.

Their Cheapnexa Is About Their One
Redeeming Feature.
Chinese inns are without register or
clerks. On riding through the gateway
your bride rein is seized by a dirty
boy, who helps you to dismount, shout
ing loudly meanwhile for the proprie-
tor, who presently looms up through
the wilderness Of carts and mules. Pro-
prietor and boy then hold a parley as
to what rooms are eligible, and then
door is pushed open and the traveller is
shown to his apartment. 1t is usually
about twelve feet square. The walls
and floor are Of hard mud, and so are
the beds, which extend entirely across
the side of the room, with only space
enough between them for small table
and one chair. The room is lighted by
one window, in which paper takes the
place of glass.
The first duty Of the proprietor in
making q patron comfortable is to stop
up the holes in the paper window pane.
He never tears the paper of entirely
and replaces it with new one, be-
cause the sheet Of paper is worth
about one-tenth Of cent, and the inn
keeper is not wasteful. Indeed he
pastes little slips Of paper over the
holes until all the light that filters
through 1t Is Of q mottled hue.
At one end Of the mule shed is the
kitchen Of the inn. 1t is here that the
meals for all the patrons are prepared,
to be eaten in the rooms. The menu Is
not elaborate. 1t consists only Of bowls
Of rice and tea. Should the traveller de-
sire a greater variety Of food, he can
buy it himself in the market, and his
own servant can cook it in the kitchen
Of the inn. To sleep on the bed of
Chinese inn would he for a foreigner
an impossibility were it not that he is
always so exhausted at the end Of
each days journey that he finds it diff
ficult to remain awake ten minutes
after alighting from his pony. He lies
down on the mat that covers the hard
heap of mud and surprises himself at
the soundness Of his slumber.
The one redeeming thing about the
inn is it's cheapness. Just as the trav'
eler is about to depart in the morning
the proprietor tells him the amount OF
his bill. Everything is charged on the
European plan." Every cup of tea,
every rushlight candle, the paper win.

list which the proprietor reels off in

ponies and cart mules, is about 81
cents.-New York Mail and Express.

FLOWER AND TREE.

Palms never live more than 250 years
Ivy has been known to live $50, chest.
nut $50, oak 1,6OO and yew 1850 years
Nothing Is better for house plants
than to be set out in gentle. warm
rain, but cold rain and wind are any
thing but hopeful to them.
In planting trees an important point
not to be forgotten is pressing the soil
down upon the roots so that they will
come in close contact with it.
A pot Of flowers In bud should re-
ceive all the sunshine possible, but
when the buds open keep them in
shade, and they will last longer.
The largest apple tree in New Eng
land is in Cheshire, Conn. Its trunk
measures one foot above all root ex'
largements, 13 feet inches in circum
ference.
An orchard, whether young or old
should not be allowed to grow where
heavy crops Of grass are taken every
year. It is weakening to the soil and
detrimental to the trees.
In Ashanti there grows tree resem
bling in appearance the English oak
which furnishes excellent butter. This
vegetable butter keeps in perfect con
dition all the year round in spite Of the
heat.

FARMER JOE'S SPEECH.
1t Was Short, but 1t Crushed the
Bumptious YounEster.

1t Was Short, but 1t Crushed the
Bumptious Youngster.
"You may get the better Of an oppo-
nent in debate" said an old time Oral
tor, '.by sheer force Of convincing argu-
ment-that Is to say, you may score
and win on points-but il you want to
put your man down and out at single
coup just make him ridiculous. Only
succeed in doing this, and all the logic
of the other side will explode in vacan-
cy like so many blank cartridges.
"Once when l was serving term up
the state in the legislature a bumptious
youngster who had just been introduc-
ed was laboring through his maiden
effort. He was attacking q man VINO
was his senior by at least score and
ten years and thought to make hit by
referring to him as that little gray
beard from Herkiner.' Rymal of Mag
ara rose to reply. He was an old timer,
who never spoke unless he had some
thing to say and so was always sure Of
an attentive audience. Farmer Joe, as
he was called, got up slowly, gradually
expanded himself to his full height of
6 feet 4, thrust his left hand behind the
tails Of a capacious and somewhat
shabby frock coat, held up the index
finger of his right hand, cleared his
throat ominously and solemnly began:
"'Mr. Speaker, the honorable gentle
man who has just spoken has never

remember that the "SOuls the standard

there as two frogs in Lake Superior

chamber went into a convulsion Of
laughter which lasted for several min
utes after the tall farmer had resumed

got red in the face, tried to look uncon-
cerned and kept his mouth closed dur

Drinking Through the Nostr11s

The Indian sages do not practice
their breathing exercises simply for
the sake Of repose and sleep. During
the inbreathing energy is increased.
These Indians are not the only people
who believe that with the inbreathing
Of pure air there comes something still
more vital than oxygen. But the 1ndi'
ans have developed the art Of breath
ing more than any other people.
One Of their favorite exercises is to
inhale through the left nostril, to hold
the breath for a time and then exhale
through the right nostril.
Another Of their exercises Is to drink
water through the nostrils, and after 1t
has been retained for short time it is
expelled through the nostrils and the
mouth. This is said to cool the head
