REFLECTION ON THE JUDGE.
How an Ulta PAous Lawyer Drew.
Upon Himself the Wrath Of

Justice Gray, Of the United States

had long experience on the bench
before going to Washington. Man,
years ago, when he was a member OF
the supreme court of Massachusetts,,
relates Washington exchange, he hao
an amusing experience with certain
Boston lawyer, an exceedingly pious
man with a taste for evangelization.
who had his letterheads printed with
a verse from Scripture in large type
following the name and address. On
one occasion, having to make an ex-
parte preliminary argument before
Justice Gray in chambers, in which it
would be necessary to discuss certain
parts of his clients case which he
desired not to make generally public
until the trial, he wrote the Judge q
note asking that he be allowed an OPP
portunity to speak to him in private.
He was somewhat chagrined when his
note came back to him with a scrawl
across the bottom: Request denied,
with suggestion from the court that
counsel base future petitions on q
more appropriate citation"
For moment he could not make out
the meaning of this, as he was not
aware that he had quoted any law, but
glancing up the page he discovered that
he had written his page on q letter
head bearing this text:

INSTINCT OF A MOTHER.
10 = stray Calf In the west-
oeA Cattle Herd.

It might seem that where half a
dozen herds were mingled together, it
would be impossible to select the calves
belonging to particular owner with
any degree of accuracy, says E. Mayo,
writing on beef" in Leslie's Monthly,
that in the roundup they would be-
come hopelessly mixed. But all this
is obviated by very simple rule, which
is that the calf belongs to the cow
that claims it, and consequently to the
concern whose brand she bears Long
experience Mas taught the cattlemen
that the calf may mistake it's mother
sometimes, but the cow her offspring
never. OF course, in these days of wire
fences when the free, riders of the
range are degenerating to the rank OF
the eastern "hired man" and each
bunch" is kept to its own territory,
there is small occasion for the exer-
else Of this test; but in the old days of
the' open range it worked perfectly,
except in the ease of mavericks
those cattle that had grown to be
yearlings or over without having
passed under the branding iron-and
these the impartial law of the time
distributed in proportion to the num-
Der of each herd participating in the
roundup.

STORY on a MODERN RUTH.


The Ruth Of biblical fame and COM

home being at Myerstown. This mod
ern daughter of Naomi is named Mary
swanger and she can perform not only.
all the duties Of the house, but she has
an unconquerable delight in working
in the harvest field and performing
other labors which belong properly to
farm hands, reports an eastern exc
change. !; RI .},>> a.. ~
Miss Swanger il visiting at the home
of Samuel Phillips, the proprietor Of a
large stock farm near Lebanon. It
is a frequent sight to see her assist
ing In the harvest field and doing.
other manual labor about the place.
Miss Swanger declares that she does
the work, not from necessity, but from
choice. She believes that all women
should do outdoor work of this charac-
ter for their own physical develop
ment, and that If they did, the Amer
lean women would be stronger and hap
pier. .
Suiting her belief to action, Miss
Swanger has performed two feats
which the neighbors consider marvel
Gus. One of these was to shovel 1900
bushels of corn into a shelter with on
interval of but Is minutes for rest.
The other was to unload Is wagon
loads Of grain in the sheaf and pitch
it into the loft Of Mr.. Phillips barn.
Miss Swanger is highly educated
young woman, and her feats are the
talk of the neighborhood. :.

PRINCE CHEN WAS JARRED.
Was Greeted with the "Ch1uena Ma
tional Anthem" Until He
Got Tired Of It.

Prince Chen, the Chinese prince i'm
perial, who lately visited President
Roosevelt at his country place at Oy-
ster Bay, was recently extensively en-
tertained in Brussels by the city ia
theirs, says the San Francisco Argo-
naut. But the pleasure of his stay there
was marred by the monotonous music
which was played in his honor every
where he went, whether visiting build
ings, monuments, museums or dining
and reviewing. After awhile, it 10
said, it Jared 80 on his nerves that
he asked his interpreter to inquire
what the composition was. 1.-The Chi
nese National Anthem" was the re-
ply of the somewhat surprised hurgo-
master of Brussels, Mr.. De Mot. "But
we have none" was the response made
by the royal guest to the embarrass-
ment of the encourage. 1t seems that
a willy European some years ago COM
posed sort of tum-tum, with an ac-
compartment, and called it the "Chi-
nese National Anthem" This the gull
ible city fathers have used on all occa-
>sions when Chinese dignitaries were
being entertained. It remained, how-
ever, for Prince Chen to expose the
composer, who had already made a
neat little sum out of his composition.

NEVER TRUST A HORSE,
and Studied the Animate for
Years.

I have spent much Of long life in
the observation of horses. I have
reared them, broken them, trained
them, ridden them, and driven them
in every form from the pillow to the
four-in-hand. The result Of these
years of study is summed up in one
sentence, says writer in Harper's
Weekly. I believe the horse to be part
maniac and part idiot. Every horse at
some time in his life develops into
homicadal maniac. I believe any man
who trusts himself or his family to
the power of horse, stronger than
himself, to be lacking in common sense
and wholly devoid Of ordinary pru-
dence. have driven one commonplace
horse every other day for six years
over the same road, and then had him
60 crazy and try to kill himself and
me because a leaf fluttered down in
front Of him. I have known scores
of horses. apparently creatures Of rou-3
tine, 60 wild and insane over equal
1y regular and recurring phenomena.
No amount of observation can tell
when the brute will break out. One
mare took two generations ofchildren
to :1I,col over the same quiet road, "a nd
then in her nineteenth year went crazy
because rooster crowed alongside the
road. She killed two of the: children:

son why man should trust q horse I

THE OYSTER INDUSTRY.
sumed In q Year In This Coun-
try and Canada.

Nineteen states and Canada have
within few years, boosted the oys-
ter industry from something over five
billion bivalves annually to a produc-
'tion of over twelve billion. At the
average retail price of one-half cent
per oyster, it will be seen that it prob
ably costs US at least 10000, 900 per
year to indulge in the luscious sea
fruit, particularly when most of US
have to pay rs cents for a "stew" or
"shell" Of six oysters, says Harper's
Weekly.
Delaware bay, blythe way, has appar-
emily wrested the oyster champion
ship for production from Chesapeake
bay. Therein the oyster grounds coyer
over eco square miles, engage over
600 vessels and employs over 1000 men.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

There are in Paris 1876 factories.
The worlds output of coal in 1900
was 767, 636, 900 tons.
A large factory in Jena, Germany,
utilities it's surplus hot water in such
a way as to afford the laborers nearly
a thousand baths per week.
In some German cities it is custom
airy to fee street car conductors, who
are thus enabled to add from four to
six dollars a month to their income.
The richest farm in the world is an
acre worth $288,000 in the heart of New
York's ultra-fashionable district, be-
tween West End avenue and River
side drive. It is titled regularly and
the produce is sold at the nearest mar
ket. During the civil war the site
was covered by q government recruit
ing station.
A research steamer belonging to the
Norwegian government recently car
ried on the North sea some expert
mental fshings which yielded impor-
tant results. In three days III balibut
and 300 large cod were caught at
depth of 200 fathoms, thus proving
the existence of large quantities of
these fishes at time of the year when
they are not to be found on the coast
of Norway.
Many people imagine that the in
candescent electric light gives out little
or no heat, but it is found that of the
energy consumed only six per cent.
is converted into light, while IS per
cent. goes into heat. A lamp immersed
in water will bring the water to
boil, and many cases Of fire have been
caused by careleksness in letting in
hammable substances rest in contact
with the lamp.
Prof. James Dewar, president Of the
annual meeting of the British Assoc
citation for the Advancement Of Sci
ence at Belfast, has pointed out in the
boldest language that while English
men have repeatedly discovered scien-
tific principles and laws of great i'm
portance, the Germans and Americans
have been making the practical appli-
cations of them, leaving England be-
hind in reaping the advantages.

COMPLAIN OF STAMPS.
Lot Recently Sent Out by Post Once
Department That Stuck
:. Too Well.

Many complaints have been made
to the post office auth critics that the
stamps sold in books of "a and 40 have
had way of sticking to the para fin
paper that was supposed to protect
the mucilage on them. An invest iya-
ton was made, with the result that
circular was issued authorizing the re-
demption of stamps SO glued to the
sheets in books.
1t was explained that "by mistake"
the contractor who made the books
had used poor quality of paraftin pa
per. Postnlasters were instructed TO
return to the department at Washing
ton all books of stamps ma de with this
inferior quality of parat1in fly leaves
which they had on hand. Under this
order about $4,000 worth of damaged
books have been turned in. and it. is
thought that there will be little more
trouble Of the kind.
This is not the only stamp trouble of
the post Office. Particula rly from the
south and along the Atlantic coast
there came many complain that the
ordinary one and two-cent sta mps
stuck to everything they touched: A
sheet of so or more was turned in at
the New York post office this week.
They had been sent loose in a letter
from the south and were hopelessly
glued to the paper, 49,
Whether the trouble is due to some
thing wrong with the mucilage or the
abnormally wet season in the south
and along the coast has not been de-
termined. There is no provision for
the redemption by poetmasters of
damaged individual stamps. J. I.

Debating SORE THROAT.
4 Curious Mafady Which Amaets
Many Persons Who Esmploy STEM
ograDhors in Their O0een. .

Debating sore throat is an affection
of the vocal cords that businesssme
get from the odd, strained, high voices
that they use in debating TO their
stenographers. IT don't know why it
is,' physician said the; other day.
'but nearly every man when he die
tates puts: his natural, easy voice aside
and uses a high-pitched, feverish note
that plays the very deuce with the vocal
cords as.it CRATES over them. A man
of big interests will dictate over 100 let
tiers day at times. His throat is so
sore when he is done that he has to
take some oleaginous and soothing
medicine. - s.E:2s ~, .<':>EEy '
'*The disease IL distinctly a modern
one," said the physician, according to
the Philadelphia Record, "a sign of
these complex modern times, and it
has been called, for want of better
name. debating sore throat. The only
cure for it is to teach men to dictate
in their natural voices "a thing that
seems to be impossible) or to compel
them to cease debating altogether"
