The Black Cap.

From the Westminster Gazette.
The popular idea that judges assume the
black cap preparatory to pronouncing SEN
tence of death, in order to mark the trag-
edy OF the occasion. should be finally dis
PEELED by the fact that they will wear the
same sable headgear at the coronation
What the coronet is to the peer the black
cap Is to the judge-the final Of hts official
costume Until 1885 the habits of judges
were governed by individual tastes, but in
that year the occupants of the bench met
and solemnly ordained their attire It was
decreed to consist OF scarlet robe with
an ermine tippet now and "a Golf or
cap of black CLOTH The judicial wig is a
later innovation. and the black cap as an
essential part Of the official must be worn
on all state occasions of which the pass-
Ing sentence Of capital punishment is only
one. >'

Games of Tag.
From the Indianapolis News.

FROM the 1HQlaudpOilS news.
Swiss children make believe that the
pursuer in the game Of chase or tag is
invested with an imaginary evil spirit.
whose power is subject to certain charms.
For instance. If they touch cold iron. a
gate latch, a horse shoe or an iron nail. the
power OF the demon Is broken Sometimes
they make gold or silver their charm. They
play cross chase" in which the runner
who darts across the patch between the
pursued and the pursuer becomes the object
Of the catcher. and the former one gets
free. Again, II the runner squats, he is
free. or he may squat three times. and af-
ter that the charm is lost. The chaser
often DISCUSSES himself and unless the cap
tive can guess who he is. the captive is
banished from the game. They also play
"turn-eap'-the chaser wearing his cap
with the lining outside.
Another Swiss game is called pot Of
gold One Of the swiftest runners takes
q stick and pretends to dig for a pot of
gold. He works away for a few minutes
then cries out, 1--WE found IT.! and runs
away with it at the top of his speed. He
has the advantage Of a few PAGES at the
start, for while he is digging the other
players are grouped behind him at least
one rod distant. The player who catches
him gets the pot of gold and becomes in
turn subject to the robbers. This keeps
every player on the chase continually.

LIGHTEsT WOOD THAT GROWS.
Found in Missouri and It is Considered
Lighter Than Cork.
From the Kansas City Star.


Deep in the boys and swamps Of south
eastern Missouri In Dunklin and Butler
counties. where the land Is never dry and
water from one to six feet deep stands per-
petually in the forests, there grows a rare
and curious tree. The natives know 1t as
the corkwood. or cork tree. Science has
given it longer name. the Leitneria flori-
dana. foridana because it was first dtscov-
cred In Florida along the coast, from which
it has long since washed away.
Some meager specimens Of it, two to six
feet high, are still found in the swamp near
Appalachicola. Fla, and a few near Var
her, Ark. but in both these places 1t is ex-
ceedfngly limited in numbers, an occasion
al specimen being found, and hardly rises to
the dignity of tree. Only in southeast
teen to twenty feet and a diameter OK two
to five inches, is it really tree.
What makes the eor1xspdod so remarkable
is it's exceeding lightness. Beyond doubt
it is, as Mr. William .Trelease of the Mis-
souri, botanical garden has shown, the light
est tree in weight afhat' Its wood
weighs less than cork. 1t Is so light that
the natives use it to make floats for their
fishing nets. And Yet it's wood. though so
spongy that one may easily sink ones fin

A further idea of the, Hghtness of the
corhwood may be gained by a comparison
with other woods. The great majority of
woods range between .4tO and 800 Cork

closest to the corkwood in Hghtness is the
golden fir tree, which grows in the swamps
around Tampa bay and along the Indian
river, Florida. It's specific gravity. accord

with the cerkwood, which is the highest
wood with its specific gravity of 2O7, may
be placed the heaviest wood known, the
black trorwood OF Florida, whose specific
gravity Is 1892.

The Elks. Charm.
From the New York Pre.s.

from the New York Press.
One Of the first steps Of an Elk is to pro-
vide himself with charm made OF two
tushes OF the splendid wapfti, which ne
wears on his watch chain or fob or on his
key ring. It is the badge Of the order.
With the increase in the membership Of
this lively organization an astonishing de-
crease in the number of wapiti Is noted. In
Wyoming alone $1,000 have been killed In
the last four years for their tushes which
are worth IS a pair. or to an Indian two
quarts OF "frewater" I have not the
slightest idea that any member OF the Elks
Is aware of this slaughter, and believe that
when the matter is brought to the atten-
ton OF the order measures VIII be taken to
end It. In this event substitute must be
found for the tushes

by others, as well as himself, about his
many adventures in connection with the
strenuous life Of the Mexican border. There
Is one how Uncle Billy accompanied a band
Of Nexicans, soldiers and others, tn pursuit
of band Of Apaches. Uncle Billy was,
unfortunately, only armed with a revolver.
and as matters began to grow somewhat
interesting he noticed tendency among
some Of the Mexicans to prefer the rear
rank to that In front. To comfort and en-
courage one of them he said: Whats the

The Eggs Highly Valued.

The eggs of the great aux are about the
size of a goose egg. but more pointed. and
they are more costly than are the eggs Of
any other bird or fowl, bringing from Sl,0D0
to 81 800 apiece. There are but two such
eggs in this country. one al Philadelphia
and the other here in the National Mu-
scum. In fact il is stated. on authority.
that there are only about eighty Of these
eggs in the world, about seventy OF which
are in England. Because OF their rarity
considerable envy is aroused among rival
collectors, who pay the large sums named
to secure them.
Only five stuffed specimens OF the bird
are found in the United States. and these
are distributed in five different Institutions.
as follows: The American Museum OF Nat
urai History, at New York; Smithsonian
Institution In this city. Academy OF Natu-
raj History In Philadelphia, Vassar College
and Harvard.
Further research among the fossil beds Of
Florida, 1t is supposed, will reveal add
tional evidence upon which definite de-
cision can be based as to the reasons for
the bird having migrated so far southwark.
and at present the question is one principal
ly Of opinion. which. as Is usually the case.
gives rise to considerable diversity OF Views.

The County Printing.

The outgoing board of county commits
sioners yesterday awarded the contract
for the county printing to the News.
For about two weeks past this organ
of republicanism has boon between the
devil and the deep sea in its efforts to
capture the county printing. Some OF
those, with whom it rested to make the
award, wore ba,ky or had not become
used to the leading strings Of republi-
canism and were half inclined to give
the contract to the paper that has graft
Cd 90 long. However, after considerable
manceuvering, the Nsws was promised
that it should have the printing, which
10 right and proper and it 10 doubtless
happy over the result today.
1t is hardly probable that Editor Now.
ton will ever be abls to work the county
printing with the same success a. it has
been worked. 1t was 4 public graft and
has been fer many . long year, under
the populistic regime
