In a recent case Of n different sort n

This plan has been often pursued in the

directs that one or two Jumps of sugar
be dropped carefully into the coffee,
and if the air bubbles that rise rush
suddenly from the centre to the side
Of the cup rain may be looked for
during the day If the bubbles gather
in the centre, and then pass to the side
slowly, there will probably be light
showers. But if the bubbles rise to the
centre and stay there the day will be
fine. He does not give the philosophy
of the thing, but it is, of course, due
to the relative weight, and, therefore,
moisture Of the atmosphere.

Game From the Arotics .

A company at Tacoma, Wash, is pre-
pairing to do an extensive refrgerating
business between the Klondike regions
and the markets of the East, by means
of refrigerated vessels and cars. The
company is taking advantage of a very
peculiar situation. The residents of
the Klondike region last year became
satiated with the great amount of ma
tive game. and paid fabulous prices for
beef. mutton and poultry from the
States. This game rejected by the ma
tives, such as caribou, moose, ptarmi-
gon and Arctic hares, is regarded in
high favor in the United States. and
brings high prices here, so that the
storage company above referred to will
reap a big profit in exchanging meat

countries

"snake Bite" Deaths.

A considerable proportion of the
deaths in India annually attributed to
snake bite are probably due to poison
ing of another sort, says Navy and
Army. The explanation is simple and
interesting. When a man in an out
lying village dies evidently from the
effects of poison it is the duty of the
headsman Of the village to take in, if
not the body, at any rate the viscera,
for examination by the civil surgeons
Of the nearest civil station, which may
be some thirty miles away. To avoid
this tedious journey the name of the
deceased is duly entered on the village
records as having died from snake
bite, and the entire village Is afterward

John BULL AND THE LAW.

IL Settles lis Quarreis and lie Settles the
Bin Gladly.
Deep IS the confidence Of the Briton
In the law. It settles his quarrels, and
he settles its charges or as much as
he can defray.
A parliamentary return recently IS
sued and dealing with the judicial
work Of 1900, shows that during the
year mentioned there was, compared
with the preceding year, a slight de-
crease in appeals entered and an IN
crease in proceedings begun.
Compared with the average Of the
preceding four years, the total of cases
begun and heard shows an increase.
It appears that Of all the cases begun
considerably less than half come to
trial. The total Of cases entered in an
courts was 1,31O6S0, and the number
heard and determined 429,41S This
means that one case was begun for
every twenty-five members Of the pop
ulation, while one for every seventy
five was heard Seeing that there are
a plaintiff and defendant in each case,
it follows that one person out Of every
twelve and q half began q legal action
and one in every thirty-seven and a
half brought an action to trial
The judicial committee hear fifty ap-
peals from India, thlrty-three from the
colonies and sixteen from Australia.
The average cost of these appeals is
estimated at $3.50 each.
The average cost of an appeal to the
House of Lords is nearly twice as
much, senior counsel in these days re-
celying from fifty to seyenty-fve gum
cas- a day, and their juniors two-thirds
Of their fees.
OF SOB cases in the Court Of Appeals
no fewer than 100 We're cases under
the workmens compensation acts. The
average cost cost to each party of these
appeals is put at 600.
1t is instructive as to the nature of
lawyers charges to know that some
bills of costs Of appeals before the
Lords have had as much as siXty-two
per cent. taxed off, and the average
reduction by taxation was 29.00 In
one case the bill of costs was 1886
but the hearing extended over eleven
days.
The records show that there is nc
decline in the public liking for trial
by jury, and that there is an increas
ing preference for special juries-gen
