TRIED BY his PEERS.
stiagins Rebul<e 90 . Jsry That Had
Reached an Outxageoas
verdict.

No member of the Massachu-
setts bar stood higher than the late
Harry w. Paine. He was absolutely
fearless, and occasionally. trampled
upon the traditions OF the courts with
the utmost recklessness. On one oc-
casion he was defending a charity
case in which boy OF is was charged
with arson. He made a strong case
to prove the defendant an idiot.
After charge from the judge, which
was practically an order for acquittal.
the. jury brought in veruict of
guilty. The judge asked Paine il he
would move for new trial. II thank
you for your suggestion" was the an
swer, "but am oppressed with the
grayest doubts whether / have the
right to move for new trial Your
honor, l have already askeu for and
received for my idiot client the most
precious heritage of our English and
American common lava trial by a
jury Of his peers"
Paine had an old quarrel with the
supreme court, and never lost an op-
portunity of showing his contempt for
that body. Once, riding from Boston
to Cambridge with load of law
books, he was accosted by a young
Harvard man with the remark: "You
have quite a load, Mr.. Paine. Law
books, / SUPPOSE" "0h, no." was the
answer, only supreme court reports"

sWith rhese Developments we have
every reason to anticipate that in .
time not very distant most telegraphic
messages across the ocean will be
transmitted without cables. For short
distances we need wireless tele.
phone, which requires no expert OPP
orators. The greater the spaces to
be bridged, the more rational becomes
communication without wires. The
cable is not only an easily damaged and
costly instrument, but it limits us in
the speed of transmission by reason OF
certain electrical property insep.
arabic from its construction. A prop
erly designed plant for affecting com
munication without wires ought to
have many times the working capacity
OF cable, while it will involve incom.
parably less expense. Not long time
will pass, believe, before communica,
tion by cable will BECOME obsolete, fol
not only will signaling by this new
method be quicker and cheaper, but
also much safer. BY using some new
means for isolating the messages which
have contrived an almost perfect pri
vacy can be secured"

POLLING TROUT AND STURGEON
Novel Method of Poachers in Catch
tng the Game Fish IN Easts
srn Streams.

Poachers In the Adirondacks and
ohter wild sections of New York are
taking trout by means OF hook tied
to the end Of stick. The poacher lies
down upon log or stump above some
deep pool in trout stream and brings
the stick close alongside the fish, work
ing it ever and ever so carefully lestthe
fish should be frightenedgaway. When
the pole is only a hairs breadth from
the side of the trout thetfsher gives
jerk, and, nine times out of ten, hooks
the fish. The methodfis specially de-
structive to good sport, for the reason
that it enables the poacher to take the
wary old trout that are shy of the hook
Closely allied, .iseihe method of stur-
-yfof catching which is practiced in the
Eetroit river and some of the streams
lfunning into Lake Superior, says the
New York Times. The sturgeon has a
way when it runs up stream in, spawn
ing season Of rubbing against every bit
OF wood that may be fixed in the water.
The fisherman goes out in a boat or
takes his place at bridge with pole,
on the end Of which are tied three
hooks pointing in three different direc-
tions from common center. The end
of the poe he plants on the bottom of
the stream, while the other he holds in
his hand. When he feels the movement
of the sturgeon he jerks. The sturgeon
is hooked and a grand fight begins.

Death.

s. A. Harris, 3 grocer of Charlotte,
lost mule and the better part of
q delivery wagon the other day. The
wagon body WAS made of poplar. The
mule was made OF just simply or
dinary everyday mule, says the
Charlotte IN. CT Observer.
One night the mule got out of the
stable and set about task of eating
up the delivery wagon. He ate the
framework down to the floor and
might have finished the floor il he
hadn't stopped long enough to die.
Cam King, one of the original two
orphans, was at the old courthouse
when he overheard Squire Maxwell
telling an Observer reporter about
the death of Sam Harris mule.
II believe every word of IT," spoke
up King, "and I will tell you why.
Mules will eat wood when they are
wanting forage and can't get it

my mules ate out Ave spokes from

tied.
That morning I got load of
chestnut rails to feed my mules on
and they ate every one of them. Not
mule died. What caused the death
OF Mr.. Harris mule ] can't say, but
I do know that my army mules were
great wood eaters"

THE HORSE is UNFRAMED.

AitAOa.

Ten years ago, when electric trolley
cars began to be generally introduced
into the cities, so many draught horses
that had been used in the street car
service were put on the market that
the. price of horses fell to figure that
left no profit to horse breeders. Many
stopped breeding horses altogether.
Others, more far seeing, began to
breed better ones, believing that only
the common plug" horse was to dis
appear from the market. This has
proved true, says well posted author
ity. The electric elevated railroad
has been introduced since that time,
and the automobile, both doing much
of the work that used to be done by
horses. Yet the price of horses 10
higher now than IL was ten years ago,
because only good ones are in demand
and there are not enough of high
grade offered for sale.
The plug" that used TO sell for $2S,
has largely disappeared FROM ne taar.,
ket, and with it has gone the cruelty
of drivers, A mans pocketbook usual
ly appeals TO him more strongly than
a humane society, and when he has
paid $3.50 for horse he has personal
interest in seeing that II is not abused.

The Result Of Shell Wound Re-
ceived By New French Mtn-
BE lister OF War. 80


Gen. De Galliiet, the new French
minister of war, who has excited uni
yersal admiration by his repression of
unruly army officers, is remarkable for
wearing silver plate over his stomach
in place Of the tiEue with which nature
supplied him.
The general was terribly wounded at
the siege of the Convent of Guadeloupe
during the French expedition to Mex
leo, in 1868. A shell carried away
large portion Of his stomach.
He explains that his experience as
sportsman then stood him in good
stead.
He had often noticed how when a
hound was gored at boar hunt he was
not sacrificed or shot, but his intestines
were replaced and the skin stitched up.
When, therefore, he recovered con.
sciousness he himself describes how he
collected all he could and made his own
way by himself to the ambulance as
rapidly as his shatterd trunk would
allow him to do. His wound was the
object of universal sympathy; his COM
rades fetched snow-fFom the noun
.tains so as to Keep him at the proper
temperature; the empress herself or
.dered him to recover, and he then main
tanned he could not, as man of gal
lantry, refuse to obey the orders of
such lady. He had TO replace what
had been lost by a silver substitute.
Many other stories are told of his
daring; how TO win wager he jumped
into the Rhone on horseback. So well
did he establish his reputation that Ma
poleon III. at once said: "Dourot repre-
sents virtue, but Gallifet represents
bravery. I believe that he, like Bay
ard, could easily defend bridge by
himself against all comers."-N. Y.

Milk as Poison.

II have sometimes wondered" said
an analyst, with a touch of satire,
''why some of the famous prisoners Of
the past took so much trouble over
their deadly drugs, when they might
have chosen milk with the same re-
suits.
"Milk when pure is harmless enough,
but it is strange what pains people
take to make it poisonous. They ex-
pose it to all manner of impurities
until it is a perfect hotbed of bacteria.
GAS promoter of Indigestion, milk
is almost without a rival. People take
it with ice in summer, with the result
of rendering certain elements in it
more indigestible than leather. They
take it with acid fruits, a combination
that would try the digestion of a rhi-
noceros.
Some have been known to try
pickles in milk, a simply fatal mix
ture to any but cast iron digestion
and one from the effects of which peo-
pie have died.
"Used as a beverage milk should be
taken by itself and drunk slowly,
without admiXture, with anything ex-
cept perhaps water. Unless it is quite
new it is safer to boil it,"
