Didn't Recognixe It.

A distinguished member Of the Unit
ed States judiciary has discovered that
he still has something to learn in the
direction of agriculture.
He bought farm as summer home
for his family and finds especial de-
light In walking about the place, COM
menting on the condition Of the crops
and in many ways showing his inter
est in his new possessions.
One evening during the summer he
was strollins, over the farm. The hired
man had cut the grass during the day,
a very thin crop, and had left it lying
on the ground to dry. The judge saw
it, and, calling his man, he said:
ut seems to me you are very care
less. Why haven't you been more par
ticular in raking up this hay? Don't
you see that you have left little drib-
blings all aroundT"
For a minute the hired man stared,
wondering If the judge was quizzing
him. Then he replied:
Little dribblings! Why, man, that's
the cropw

Review Of the LEGISLATURE.

In his review of the work of the present
session of the legislature and forecast of
what is likely to be done, August Kohn
says in the News and Courier:
The general assembly is getting along
get through with its session in ten days
more but it will not do so. The "whys
and wherefores" are many, but there does
not seem to be much doubt about the fact
that the legislators are going to take the
full limit and draw their forty days pay.
The house and senate have both done a
great deal of work, and if the calendars
were sifted, it would be found that there
is really very little necessary legislation
pending.
The house has sent over to the senate
the redistricting bill and that measure has
been made special order in the senate
for Tuesday. The jury bill has been
practically agreed upon. The senate
threshed over the whole matter and
finally framed bill that was acceptable.
Then the house judiciary committee re-
ported on the senate bill and yesterday
the house adopted the bill with only one
unimpo-tant amendment, and the jury
bill will be ready for ratification before
the trip to the Charleston exposition-the
first act of the session.
The general salary bill has been about
agreed upon by the senate and it will be
very much like it was with the jury bill
The salaries that have been put in the bill
In the senate have been pretty generally
agreed upon at meetings of the various
: county delegations, so that when the bill
comes over from the senate with the sala-
ries fixed they will be generally accept
able to the house, especially where there
have been delegation agreements. Thus
it will be seen that the redistricting, the
adoption of the code, jury and county
officers salaries bills are already practi-
cally out of the way.
A number of matters that might have
been of great importance have been dis
posed of in one of the two branches. The
senate is rid of the child labor PROPOSE
ton. The house committee has agreed
upon substitute bill, which will have a
rough time to get through the house in
any shape. The advocates of child labor
legislation say that they would be satisfied
with almost any kind of legislation just
so that they can make a start and get in
an entering wedge. Those who oppose
any parental interference or legislation
prejudicial to the growing textile interests
of the state are equally as anxious that
nothing be done to interfere with the
prosperity of the cotton mills.
There has been good deal of talk, ex-
element and hurrah about corporation
and anti trust legislation. 1t seems to
have about petered out so far as results
are now expected.

The Episcopal Temper Tried.

A certain bishop, remarkable for his
precise and dignifed bearing, was once
sitting in the studio of an eminent artist
as living model for his own portrait
says Tit-Bits. Perfect silence reigned for a
whole hour, while the knight of the palette
diligently went on with his work. AT
last, the bishop, becoming weary of the
dreary monotony, yentured to remark:
How are you getting on?"
Absent-mindedly the artist replied:
"Move your head little that way and
shut your mouth
His lordship, annoyed at the apparent
ly discourtesy, then said:
MAY I ask why you address me in this
manner?"
Still absorbed in his work, the artist
unconcernedly answered:
II want to take off little of yonr
cheek"

Too Early To Learn.

Thomas NJ Patterson, the new senator
from Colorado, is principally known in
his state for the frequency with which he
changes his politics. Within the last eight
wears he has been Democrat again, be-
Sides supporting independent local tickets
at various times in Denver. In Wash
ington this winter they are telling a story
of something that happened in Denver
once. A young and green political can
vasser had been put out to canvass the
election district in which Mr.. Patterson
lived. He rang the bell of the magnifi-
cent Patterson home at the corner OF
Pennsylvania and Delaware avenues, and
of the sable servitor who appeared, de-
manded the name Of the occupant.
"Mistah Tom Patterson, responded the
colored boy.
"What are his politics." asked the can
vasser, ,adhering strictly to his list OF print
ed questions.

The Prayer That Hurt.

A member of a certain Massachu
setts parish, prominent for his thrift
and personal consequence. was also
notorious for his overbearing assump
tions and pompous airs. Under the dis
tress and fright Of dangerous illness
he put up notes" on several successive
Sundays, and after his recovery, ac
cording to usage, he offered note to
be read by the minister expressive OF
his thanks.
The minister was somewhat large
in this part of his prayer. recalling the
danger and the previous petitions OF
the squire" and returning his CRATE
full Acknowledgements with the prayer
that the experience might be blessed
to the spiritual welfare Of the restored
man. He closed with these words:
"And we pray, o Lord, that thy serv'
ant may be cured Of that ungodly
strut, so offensive in the sanctuary"

The Difference of an Inch.

At one of the reunions of the Army of
the Cumberland several former officers of
the Union army fell to discussing the
wounds they had received during the civil
war. At last one of their number turned
to Colonel B., tall, fine, soldierly look
ing man, who had remained silent durin 6
the discussion, and said:
"Well, colonel, you seem to be the only
one of the party who escaped uninjured." D."
"Oh, no l didn't" answered the colonel
quickly. II was shot at Antietam. A
bullet went through my nose, taking the
gristle out" He wriggled his nose from
side to side to prove the truth of his
statement.
"Ah, well, you were quite fortunate,
after ALL" said Major NJ, consolingly. "If
the bullet had struck half an inch further
in, your soul would have been launched
into eternity"
YES" said the colonel, "and if the
blamed thing had gone half inch further
out it wouldn't have hit me at ALL"

Middle Ages Burials.

In the middle ages founders and
patrons Of ecclesiastical buildings be-
gan to be buried nearer and nearer to
the fabric of the church or cathedral.
First the porch, then the cloister, then
the chapter house or chantry, came
under demand; the chancel was next
encroached upon, and lastly burials
were allowed under the altar itself. At
the other extreme Of custom was the
burial of malefactors and stillborn
children on the north or devils side"
of the yard, a practice concerning
which chapters might be written.
