A Philadelphia schoolteacher tells of
these blunders of children in physiolo-
gy examination papers:
Occupations which are injurious to
the health are carbolic acid gas, which
is impure blood"
sWhen you have an illness it makes
your health bad, as well as having a
disease"
"A stone mason's work is injurious
because when be is chipping he
breathes in all the little chips, and then
they are taken into the lungs"
"All mechanical work is injurious to
the health"
The word function" seemed to puz-
zle the children tremendously. Ques-
tions containing that word were an
swered as follows:
The skin discharges function cali
ed perspiration."
~The function Of the heart is be-
tween the lungs"
41The hearts fsRsetion is called tho
rax."

LEGISLATIVE
BLUNDERS
G. 0. P. Lawmakers Forgot
to Repeal Some Old
Statutes.
TWO TRIAL AND TWO PRACTICE ACTS
Court Must Now Say Which
Are to Go Corbin's
Explanation.
TWO TRIAL AND TWO PRACTICE ACTS

Special to 1.-THE Jersey City News.')
TRENTON, July IS, 1908. The dis
closures of several mistakes or oversights
in the Transactions Of the last New Jer-
sey Legislature have brought to light
the fact thar there are two practice acts
on the statute books Of this State, both
legally there, but one unintentionally.
There are also on the statute books
two laws governing the course of pro-
cedure in courts for the trial of small
causes.
This state of affairs was brought about
by the failure of the Legislature to in
corporate repeating clauses in the revi
sion of the practice act and in the act
concerning courts for the trial of small
causes, both of which were passed at the
last, session of tie Legislature.
The result of this is that there are,
as has been said, two practice acts and
two sets of rules regulating tile conduct
and practice in courts for the trial of
small causes which conflict in numerous
particulars, the disparity in. which under
existing conditions can only be adjusted
by the Supreme Court.
While with no other information at
hand it would be safe to assume that
it was the intention of the trainers of the
revised practice act that it was. to sup
plant the old one in so far as the two
did net conflict, yet it seems that it was
their intention that the new act should
supplant the old in its entirety.
Charles Z. Corbin, member of the
commission by which the revised prac-
tice act was prepared, when his atten-
ton was called to the failure Of the Leg
isiature to pass repeating clause or
act said that the commission intended
that the new act should supplant the old
one.
At the same time he said that in his
opinion the provisions of both the new
and the old acts would be legally opera
tive except when they conflict.
As an example of the conflict of the
two laws it has been noted that the old
practice act contains provision for SER
vice upon nonresident or absent de-
fendant by publication. This is not re
ferred to in the new act, and hence with
out the repeal Of the old act would be
operative in spite of the statement of
lnmber of the revision commission that
the old act was to be superseded by the
new.
Attention Of the failuresof the Legisla-
ture to repeal the old practice act was
first called by School Commissioner John
HI. Hartpence, who is connected with
the Office of the Supreme Court 1t was
while making a careful study of the act
that he discovered the omission.
The commission appointed to rectify
and revise the, statutes is composed of
Supreme Court Justices Dixon and Fort
and Lawyer Charles 1. Corbin. Wilbur
A. Mott is secretary of thelcommission.

morning that the damages may foot ur
to nearly 100000.
Much stock was burned and valuable

The infammable character of the stock
made brilliant blaze that, could be seen

CAUGHT IN a TRAP
Twelfth battalion Of Mexican Regulars
Almost Annihilated by Va
Qui Indians.

Tucson. Arjz., Feb. 3.-Word has
just reached here that the Twelfth
battalion of the Mexican regulars was
almost annihilated in a battle with
the Yaquis, whom they We're pursuing,
after having defeated them in a fight
at San Marcial.
The regulars were caught in a trap
and their retreat was cut off by Sec
ond band, Of whose existence they
knew nothing. There were 800 soldiers
in the battalion and if the report Of the
survivors of the fight who reached San
Marcial is true, great many of that
number were killed. The reports, how
ever, are believed to be exaggerated.
According to last previous accounts
the regulars were in a critical condi
ton and had lost large number, al
though the casualties are not known.

DUMAS AND HIS BARBER,
Origin Of the Practice of Speculate
ing tn Theater Tickets

Origin Of the Practice of Speculate
ing tn Thcater Tickets.
The practice of specializing in thea
ter tickets, strange as it may appear.
was started by the elder Dumas. He
patr0nized Il Paris barber named Por-
cher, and one day this worthy while
shaving the novelist asked him why he
lid not sell the tickets given him by
the managers Of the theaters where
mis- plays were produced.
ITO whom could l sell them?" asked
the author of the Three Musketeers."
why, to me, if you like" replied Pors
cher. And what would you do with
them?" asked Dumas. That's my
business replied the barber. contin-
uing to lather the bronzed face Of the
famous story teller.
But give you tickets whenever you
ask for them,' said Dumas. All. One
or two are not sufficient for my pur-
pose," responded Porcher. Il must
have all your tickets, and every day
too" And you will pay for them?'
said the dramatist. Cash. was the
simple yet practical reply.
Dumas at that moment was very
badly in need of money, so he, at once
concluded the bargain. Porcher, who
shortly after this gave up shaving and
cutting hair made similar bargains
with other authors and quickly became
rich.
