LIKE A DREAM.
Judge of i Criminal Court Tells Of a
Curious Coincidence.


''The first time l presided over a
trial in the criminal court" related
one of the justices Of the supreme
court Of the district recently, accord
ing to the Washington Star, q could
hardly get it out of my head that l
was in a dream. Fully so years be-
fore l happened to be present in the
criminal court, where / was taken by
a relative, who was a lawyer, and lis
tened with a boys interest to a trial.
Judge Cranch presided, and the court
was held in the same room where the
criminal court is now held, though
the court then faced the north, and
the jury sat in a box Immediately un-
der him, also facing north. All the
Judge could see of the jurors was the
backs Of their heads, and the jurors
could not see the judge unless they
stood up and turned around. Phil.
Barton Key, the son of Francis Scott
Key, was the district attorney, and a
forcible prosecutor he was. The case
on trial was an assault Of a rather ag-
gravated character. The assaulting
party was a man with one arm, andthe
assailed was a deaf and dumb man,
who gave his testimony by signs,
which we're translated to the jury.
The combination Of deficiencies was
of such a character that it would not
have been forgotten by a man, and tits
needless to say it made a great impress
sion on me as a boy, especially as it
was the first time l had ever been in
a courtroom. | heard most of the
case, and particularly that Of the side
Of the prosecution. had to go away
before the case was finished, and was
very much surprised to learn the next
day that the one-armed man was ac-
quilted. Little did l dream that day
that a half century afterward would
be the presiding judge and hold my
first trial in the same room, and that,
even more remarkable than the rest,
the mar | was to try first was a one
armed man, and for a similar assault.
AS the case was being opened up there
is no doubt that ] got into a dream,
and it was hard for me to realize that
what was before me was true, and that
it was not a recollection of my boy
hood days and my first courthouse ex-
perience. had to kick myself to get
out of the dream so as to try the case.
Strangely enough, though the evil
dence opened up rather strong against
the defendant, the jury, as a similar
jury had more than so years before,
acquitted him"

WHY HE c K OUT.
But the Lady Had Little Reason for
Self GENERALIZATION.


The other day a lady was driving
her husband down a narrow country
lane, when, on suddenly turning a
sharp corner, they encountered a
brewers van. There was no room
to pass, and the lady said, very tartly:
"You must go back, for | shall not.
You ought to have seen us before
entering the lane"
@But, my DEAR" demonstrated her
husband, mildly, "the man couldn't

MoNTEzUMA's BALL A
Aneisn, A1lscs rad a sport Similar to
lenais


lenais
In the ruins of Uxmal and Chichen
Itaz, Yucatan, there are supposed TO
have been inclosed immense gymnasi-
ums or apartments where many kinds
Of games were played, says Modern
Mexico. Inserted in the longer walls,
midway betweenth ends and 20 feet
from the ground, were sculptured
stone rings that for a long time baf-
fed archaeologists as to even a con-
jectural use. The hole in the rings
at Chiehen is one foot seven inches
in diameter, the two great openings
exactly face each other, and the walls
in which they are inserted are 80 feet
thick, 274 feet long and 100 feet
apart. Some Of the explorers have
claimed that this great building was
an unfinished temple, since it un-
doubtedly contained idols set in
inches, but it is reasonable to assume
that all buildings of such size andim-
portance contained idols, and that
they were worshiped and propitiated
with gifts in all sports, as well as at
times of more serious undertakings.
The scholars who claim that this
structure was once q great tennis
court and ball ground are supported
by Herrera in his account Of the d.
versions Of Montezuma. He says:
HThe king took much delight in see
ing sport at ball, which the Spaniards
have since prohibited, because Of the
mischief that often happened at it,
and was called by them Tlachtli,' be-
ing like our tennis. The ball was made
Of the gum Of a tree that grows in
hot countries, which, having holes
made in it, distils great white drops
that soon harden, and, being nodded
and worked together, turn as black
as pitch. The balls made thereof,
though hard and heavy to the hand,
did bound and fly as well as our foot
balls, there being no need to blow
them; nor did they use chases, but
We'd to drive the adverse party that
is to hit the ball; the others were to
make good or strike it over. They
struck it with any part Of the body,
as it happened, or they could most
conveniently, and sometimes he lost
that touched it with any other part
but his hip. They might strike it
every time it rebounded, which it
would do several times, one after an
other, insomuch that it looked as if
it had been alive. They played in
parties, so many on a side, for a load
of mantles, or what the gamesters
could afford. at so many scores.

A PHoNoGRAPHIC VIOLIN.
The Latest Musical curiosity and the
Claims Made for It.


The application Of the principle Of
the phonograph to the violin is the
latest musical curiosity. The result
is the Stroh violin, which is claimed
to be the only scientific violin ever
made. The inventor, Mr.. Stroh, has
done away with the body of the vio-
lin, and for it has substituted a fat,
circular, diaphragm, or sound box,
five or six inches in diameter, which is
fastened to the side of a wooden tube,
to which the strings are affixed in the
usual way. The neck is unaltered.
The bridge Of the "Stroh" osciliates
almost imperceptibly as the bow is
drawn across the strings, and the os-
cillation is conveyed to the diaphragm
by a small pin. 1t is the oscillation
of the air within the diaphragm that
produces the sound, which is given
out by an aluminium trumpet. The
instrument produces the tones of an
ordinary violin, but it is claimed that
the tones are richer. -London Mail.

COLONIAL
Received Less Than a Dollar for 4
Days Wages.

Wages Of bricklayers and stonema-
sons may be said to have increased
about in proportion to the salaries of
bank and railroad presidents, but the
comparison in the a S of the former
must be carried back to a date far be-
yond the existence of the latter.
Ethelbert Stewart, of the United
States department of labor, has lately
given out some very interesting his
torical figures regarding the pay Of
colonial bricklayers. Back in Massa-
chusetts in 1880 an order of the gem
eral court fixed the daily wage of
bricklayers and stonemasons at 33 1-3
cents, and in Virginia as early as 1912
a Gree ~bricklayer's wages in the col
ony was $50 a year and 'feed." AS
late as 1892 Boston bricklayers were
paid only 80 1-3 cents a day, while
New York laborers had enjoyed a
scale of so cents a day for the same
labor. During the period Of 1900 to
1875 Massachusetts, paid up to &C 2-3
to Us cents a day, and around 1860
had advanced to one dollar a day,
while New York, which had always
taken the lead in advancing wages,
very close to the beginning Of the
nineteenth century paid $1.25 a day
for laying brick. Some Of the walls
of public buildings erected by these
skilled workmen Of such modest
claims still stand as proof of the ex-
cellence Of their work. The walls Of
the old statehouse, built in 1713.stil
stand. The average pay of a good
bricklayer to-day is four dollars for a
day somewhat less than two-thirds
the average working hours Of those
colonial days.-Chicago Sun.
