a LAWYERS EXPERIENCE.

The story Of a Convicted Man, .
Pardon land Pointer.
ga good many, years agoY said well
known Michigan lawyer who was rem
iniscencing; the other day, II became
greatly interested in a state priscN
case. A young farmer was charged
with having driven off ten out OF
flock Of twelve sheep and sold them to
butcher. He put up fair defense,
but was convicted and sentenced to a
term of three years.
'sEheres were plenty of,people who be-
lieved that eAwaS perfectly innocent
and even the butcher who bought the
sheep came.in time. to doubt If he had
identifed'the right party. After the case
had stirred lup whole county took
hand in it. In my petition to the gov
ernor had6the evidence of the young
mans father, mother and sweetheart,
and got eight of the jurors to sign it.
I made out, such good case that the
governor took 1T under adwisement and
finally agreed to issue a pardon. In
speaking to me,of the case he said:
""Therei is NO sort of doubt in my
mind that this was "a case Of mistaken
identity, and Il shallabe only too glad to
restore the young man to liberty
at became my pleasant duty to drive
seven miles sover'the muddiest of roads
to bear.the newssto the parents that
pardontwas to- be issued. The old man
was under the weather and in bed in
room of the 'parlor. The wife received
me and sobbed over the good news and
then went tin to break it to her hus-
band. That partition wall was thin,
and they, both spoke in;loud tones, and
plainly heard her say:
"'Oh, Samuel, there's "a man here
who says our John is to be pardoned
tomorrow
"'You don't sayv he exclaimed.
ayes; it's certainly So
"'Going to be, pardoned right out,
ehY
eyes; he is.'
"'WaalI ,,that's good news. Say,
the otherstwotsheepvwhil he was about
it,
II left the rejoicing farmhouse, in
tending to wire the governor to with
hold the pardon" said the lawyer, ''but
it presently struck me that I had ad-
vanced about twenty good reasons why
the young man couldn't be guilty, and
I therefore decided to sing small and
let things go ON. He was duly pardon
ed and sent home, and the governor
never met me for years after without
congratulattng me on rehabilitating an
innocent man wrongly convicted!-De-

Plaster patches were introduced in
England in the reign of Edward vi. by
foreign lady who in this manner in
geniously concealed a wen on her neck.
They became such a craze and were
carried to such exaggerated lengths
that they were finally lampooned out
of sight. The men, as well as the wo-
men, stuck themselves over with these
beauty spots. No lady of fashion con-
sidered her toilet complete until she
was equipped with her little box of
patches cut in her favorite design. If
one happened to come off in company,
she hurriedly replaced it with fresh
one from the box.
At length patching in England went
so far that party spirit was symbolized
by the position of the patches. A letter
in the paper on June 2. I'LL. tells of
a visit to the Haymarket and the dis
covery by the writer Of three classes
of women in the boxes all differently
patched. Upon inquiry he discovered
that those who patched on the right
side of the forehead were Wings and
those who favored the left were To-
ries, while those who patched indiffer-
emily on either side were a neutral
party, whose faces had not yet de-
clared Observation-Disclosures Weekly.

GLADsToNE,s oRAToRY.
One Critic Liikens 1t to the Rushing
KRn In Tam Nest -

One Critic Liikens 1t to the Rushing
of Waters In a Tempest.
Gladstone was great financier and
perhaps the very greatest expositor OF
finance who ever lived. He had a
magical influence over masses of men
and power of words the effect of
which was more like that Of huge
masses ofiwNter in a tempest than any
thing else. His Midlothian speeches
made lone think less of river coming
down than of the sea coming up. His
skill in constructing difficult measure
was not even approached by any man
of his time and perhaps was never ex-
ceeded by any man at any time.
These and many other merits we
must freely allow him, but when the
final estimate of him Is made many
traits must be introduced and not least
his extraordinary power of believing
precisely what he wished to believe.
He had a tender conscience, but, save
only where finance was concerned, he
had that conscience thoroughly under
command If it showed the slightest
recalcitrancy, his will was always
ready to say, "Just you dare!'
And yet when all has been said for
and against him there can be no doubt
that he will remain the most notable
Englishman of his generation-as much
out Of place among the Liberals as
Disrael was among the Conservatives,
but, like him, head and shoulders
above all his rivals and as much su,
perior to Disraeli himself in most OF
the higher arts of craftsmanship as
, that immensely clever child of Israel
was superior to him in all its secondary

4 MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM
Gam You, solve 1t or Prove That It
Cannot He snIvedH

Gam You Solve 1t or Prove That Ie
Cannot He SoIvede
At a lecture at the Royal institution
on thel Fascinating subject Of Magic
Squares Major p. A. MacMahon, f. r.
s., reminded his audience Of the exist
ence of curious problem which, de-
spite Its apparent simplicity, has never
yet been solved. He commended it to
the attention of any one present who
desired to exercise his ingenuity and
patience.
The problem Is as follows: There are
thirty-six officers of six different ranks
and drawn from six different regi-
ments, and it is required to arrange
them In a square of thirty-six compart-
ments, SO that in each row as well as
In each column there appears an Off
Ger Of each rank and also an officer
from each regiment.
Eulerh "Recherches Sur une Nouvelle
Espece de Quarres Magiques," which
appeared in 1882, discusses this prob
lem, but gives no solution, and the late
Professor Cayley, writing more than a
century afterward, confessed that it
was beyond his powers.
Major MacMahon, who has added so
much to our knowledge of the theory
Of groups-a fascinating branch of
mathematics which has an important
bearing on many branches Of physical
science hasnot yet found a key to the
mystery.
Whoever can solve this problem or
prove that it cannot be solved will
achieve immortality on the lips OF
mathematicians and perhaps open a
door into a new realm of the scientific
wonderland which is called pure math-

COOKING HINTS.

For a change try boiling apples in
sweet cider. When apples begin to
get tasteless, this, makes a change.
Cocoa losesAthat raw taste If it is al
lowed to simmer for good FIVE min
utes after being added to the boiling
milk.
A cut potato dropped in the fat in
which vegetables are to be fried will
indicate the proper temperature by
turning brown. ..... ~.
Have charcoal fires for broiling if
you wish for perfect cookery. The hot
flames close the pores quickly, and the
result Is very tender meat.
For preparing soup for invalids
make a great point Of delicate flavor
ings. Avoid much turnip or carrot,
and instead have suspicion of bay
leaf, sweet herbs and mace.
When roasting chicken in the
oven, roast it in the usual way until it
is nicely brown, then turn it back up
ward and let it remain so until cooked.
1t will be found that the juice of the
chicken runs into the breast and makes
it moist and delicious.

Temperature of Forests.

For many years the Swiss govern
ment has been making observations
through its forestry stations on the
temperature of the air, Of the trees and
the soil in the forests. These observa-
tons show that the temperature in the
forests is always below the tempera-
ture outside. The temperature also
varies according to the trees compos-
ing the forests.
A beech forest is always cooler than
a forest of larch. AS to the trunks of
the trees, they are always cooler than
the surrounding air. Regarding the
temperature of the soil, it is found that
in the forest the temperature is invari-
ably below that Of the air. Outside the
forest the soil is always warmer than
the air in summer and colder in win

BUSINESS AMERICAN ART.

Not Mathematics, but, q Matter Of
Creative Imagfnatf0n.
"The idea Of business in country
that has reached the height OF it's de-
velopment is dry as dust affair."" says
Hutchins Hapgood in Ainslee's. ut is
the miserable system Of keeping what
one has, q system in which the temper
ament and the Imagination do not play
part The American, however, puts
imagination into business. BUSINESS is
the nrt Of this country. To the>Ameri-
caii OF affairs there are In hisjwork ex-
element, charm and color. To him 1t is
not matter of mathematics, but of
the creative Imagination. Great proc
esses. great Inventions, great corpora

requires genius.
Nobody IN stupider, more avaricious
and mere economical In small way
than a French peasant or q German
hdusfrau. Nobody IN less avaricious
ana more economical In n big way than
great American inventor. fnancier
or business man. Through his brains

quently more abundant, and more good

than by all the small savings ever made
since civilization began. II IL better to
be able to make than TO save. and to
make much large outlay in money.
energy and brains IN necessary. To
save pennies is n sign OF commercial
incompetence and national decline.
"When an individual or nation be-
gins a system of housekeeping on a
small scale, it Is sign that the life
blood is ebbing. Old people, drier and
less resourceful than young people, are
VIGOROUSLY more economical. They, like
old nations, want to hang on to what
they have rather than strive for more
The wisdom of the French peasant
consists in keeping down his expendi-
ture and the size of his family to a
point where the nation as a whole is
weakened. AS Bacon said, He that
hath state to repair may not despise
small things and perhaps the decay of
the country is the cause rather than
the effect of French economy. Anyway
the two things hang closely together"

A FAMOUS PAINTING.
One Figure I'm a Japanese Picture
Visible Only at Night.

One Figure In a Japanese Picture
Visible Only at Night.
Some of the finest Japanese paint
ings in Washington are in the legation
building of that nation, the Japanese
ambassador being a collector and con-
noisseur of the art Of his native land.
The Japanese style of painting is alto
gether unlike that of Europe and
America, and the reason japanese
painters are able to produce color eff
fects that are the despair Of Euro
pean and American artists is owing to
the pigments they use. a large number
of which are secret and unknown out
side Of Japan.
In Japan there is a very famous
painting which no amount of money
could buy and which is the master
piece of famous artist who lived
several centuries ago. Viewing the
painting in the daytime, one is disap-
pointed. 1t shows nothing more than
very commonplace landscape, unre
lieved by mountains or hills. AS soon,
however, as @night falls one begins to
realize the peculiar merit of the pic
ture, for upon the canvas there ap-
pears a luminous water buffalo (cari-
boU browsing upon the grass at it's
feet.
The artist who painted this picture
discovered a certain phosphorescent
paint, which he obtained from the bod
les of certain molusks, or fish, and
with which he painted the buffalo that,
invisible in daylight. is LUMINOSITY
brilliant in the dark. The secret of
making this paint died with the artist.
The picture, which hangs in a Bud
dhist temple. has proved fertile source
of superstition, the priests claiming that
the buffalo hides away in the shade
behind some trees in the picture dur
ing the heat of the day, coming out at
night to Washington Post.

The Moslem Creed.

A German Christian missionary who
has worked for many years among the
Mohammedans says: Honesty compels
every candid student to acknowledge
that the old view formerly entertained
in Christian circles concerning Moham-
mechanism, according to which the teach
ings of the great Arabian prophet are
nothing but devils doctrines and dog
mas, Is altogether incorrect. In reality.
Accommodation is nothing but ra-
tionalistic type of Christianity In the
form of most unfortunate state re-
ligion. The times are past when scold-
ing about the Moslem creed as the pro
duction of the devil will satisfy. and
the struggle against Islam on these
premises is a failure. Practically all
of the mission literature that in the six
teenth, seventeenth and eighteenth CEN
turtles was written against Moham-
mechanism is useless"
