PATRIOTIC JURY ACQUITTED.
rha Evidence Was Against the Prls-
Oner, But He Was IA Flag
Raiser.

Magistrate Brann relieved an otner-
wise dull grind in Yorkville police
court the other day, says the New York
Mail and Express, by telling story
to illustrate his opinion regarding the
fairness Of jury trial. .,
at was in a western court Sald
Judge Brann, land the defendant,
charged with the theft of sundry
hams, was clearly guilty. He had been
seen by a dozen witnesses committing
the theft, the hams were found in his
possession and he didn't deny the
charge His counsel already saw his
client behind the bars and confined
his remarks to this simple statement:
Gentlemen of the jury, in deter
mining your verdict, wish you to con-
slider one thing. This defendant is a
veteran of the Mexican war. He it was
who first raised the American flag over
Vera Cruz. The defense rests its
case
THE district attorney pointed out
that the accused was clearly guilty
and the judges charge was against the
prisoner, but to the surprise of the
court the jury returned a verdict of
not guilty
"'Do you mean to say that not guilty
is your verdict" roared the judge.
Eyes, your honor said the fore
man, but L may as well add that it's
lucky for the prisoner that he was the
first man to raise the American flag at
Vera Cruz"

ROSE TREES AS SHIELDS.
Sweet Scented BLOSSOM Bearers Pro-
tect Railways Against Snow
drifts In Hungary.

Rose trees have been successfully
employed as a protection against
snowdrifts in southern Hungary,
where it was found that the railway
lines were often blocked by drifting
snow. Numerous attempts were made
to prevent this, but it was not until
hedges of Provence roses were plant
ed that any really good results were
obtained The trees were allowed to
grow to a height of five or six feet,
and so successful did the experiment
prove that more hedges were planted,
with the result that the lines were
kept clear in the most severe wealth
err, where they would certainly have
been blocked had it not been for the
rose trees.
A section of line a mile and half
long which in former years was in
variably blocked by snowdrifts was
kept perfectly clear by double row
of rose hedges, even in the abnormal
winter of 1SS7-s. These hedges aver
age six feet in height and are about
three feet in thickness. In summer
they are gayly green, bearing roses
of a rich color and sweet fragrance,
while in winter they withstand the
snowstorms which sweep over east
ern Europe with binding fury.

NATIVE HOMES OF MOROS.
Inherit from Pirate Ancestors the
Custom of Building Over
the Water.

The houses of the Moros are more
interesting on the inside than the ex-
terror indicates. From their pirate an
cestors they have inherited the Gus
tom of building out over the water,
so that they might slip out the more
easily in case they were attacked.
The houses are ramshacRle and irreg-
ular, and there is no beauty in their
architecture, but the inside suggests
at least two things-enough to eat,
and plenty to wear. Many Of them
have large looms, and some of the
cloth that the MorOs make is very
pretty, especially that used for the
mems trousers. This is usually a
small stripe in bright colors, woven
in silk over cotton background.
An inevitable sight is the Koran
the Mohammedan Bible. I remember
that my respect for this book was
brought out rather abruptly one day
while 1 was looking through one OF
the houses. The only chairs in the
room we're made of two boards,
crossed like a saw-buck, making a
kind of camp stool. And on each one
1 noticed an old, worn, open book
As was very tired, 1 made a move as
if to sit on what seemed to me the
only available place in the room
when a Moro gentleman took me by
the arm and began to make frantic
motions, pointing to the book. did
not need to understand his language
to know that the Koran is not book
I to be sat on, nor to be removed from
| its sacred altar.

TREE DRIES UP SPRINGS.
The Eucalyptus Has Most Energetic
AbsOrptive Power In Some
Localities.

At q recent meeting of the Nation
al Agricultural society (of France)
NJ. Lamey reported that the eucalyp-
tus is dangerous tree in the neigh
borhood of springs, which it dries up
rapidly, reports Cosmos. 81 have
SEEN" said he, "a eucalyptus whose
roots had penetrated into the pipe OF
a sink. The fountain that supplied
the house had been destroyed by the
roots of a neighboring eucalyptus
tree, which it was necessary to cut
down.
AT the forestry station of st. Fer
dinand, built near spring that Is
sues from a natural grotto, the roots
of the eucalyptus trees planted above
have penetrated the assures in the
rock and have completely covered the
interior of the grotto with thick
velyety layer formed by an innumer-
able quantity of tiny rootlets, short
and tufted, similar to those by which
the ivy clings to walls.
"Owing to their energetic absorb
tive power these rootlets, greedy for
water, had also invaded and choked
the conduits, so that the outflow
from the spring was greatly reduced.
We may say, then, that although GER
tain species of eucalyptus are yalu-
able aids in drying marshy land, It
is prudent to keep from planting
them in the neighborhood of springs
used for domestic purposes or irrl-
cation"

FAMOUS FIRE HORSE.
Aurora Ql1) Department Has "SilVer
King" n Beauty, But n Man
Killer.

During the recent convention of the
Illinois State Firemen's association at
Aurora Silver King, the most beauti-
full and the most vicious fire horse
in the state, attracted wide attention
from the visiting firemen, reports the
Chicago Chronicle. Silver King is one
of the horses that draws the hook
and ladder truck at engine house No. 1,
and he has bad record. 1t is said he
killed a man when he was a colt and
manned another one for life few
years ago. The city came into pos
session of him through ruse. The
owner doped him and brought him
around to show him off. He seemed as
docile as a kitten, and as he was big
fellow and as handsome as a picture
he was purchased. The next day it
developed that he was vicious and no
one could come near him. Finally Sam
De Frates took charge of the animal.
He began to treat him kindly and soon
had him tanned down. He can now
do anything he pleases with the ami
NAL, but no one else dares go near
his stall. He is a dappled gray, with
name and tail as white as silver. He
is about eight years old and enjoys
nothing better than making a run to
a fire.

PUPILS IN PORTO RICO.
Under American Civil Government
They Have Improved Educa-
tionaI Advantages.

The annual report of the commits
sioner of education for Porto Rico,
Samuel McCune Lindsay, says that
the poorest schools there are as good
and in some respects better than the
poorest of the same grade in many
parts of the United States, although
the every day output of the elemen-
tarv schools cannot be compared with
the best city schools of the same
grade in the states. An American
free public school now exists in ev-
cry municipality in Porto Rico.
The school year closed last June
with STA schools, 4O,993 pupils en-
rolled and 923 teachers, an increase
of 10 per cent. in the number OF
schools, 81 per cent. in enrolment
and 20 per cent. in number of teach
ers over the previous year.
The high-water mark during the
wear in the enrolment was in the or
binary public schools, $1,000, to
which should be added 2,767 pupils
enrolled in the high, normal and spc-
cial schools, giving a grand total OF
1853, or 10 per cent. of the total
population of school age, and more
than six per cent. of the total popu-
lation of the island.
These figures show that under
American civil government the edu'
cational advantages offered free to
the masses of the people as com
pared with the maximum facilities
provided by the Spanish government
have nearly doubled.

The BROKEN Dollar.

On the same day last summer, that
The Campanile, or bell tower of St.
Marks, collapsed at Venice, a brick
fell from the clock tower of the
Grand Central station at Chicago.
The coincidence was made more
striking when it was learned that the
Campanile was largely used at a
model for the Chicago station. Al
though amused at the coincidence
President Faithorn, of the Chicago
Terminal Railroad company, thought
it best to give the tower a thorough
inspection. The architects did not
consider the falling of one brick suf-
fcient cause for alarm, but President
Faithorn insisted, saying: After
YOU take a penny out of dollar for
a postal card, it doesn't take the bal
ance long to follow"

be more exact, 'Nutar Nutra ANITA
Heret" (the Almighty Power which IS
in Heayen). Prof. Renouf, a French
archeologist, emphasizes this point IN
his book on The Religion Of Ancient
Egypt" He declares:
The Egyptian 'Nutar' means pow
err, which is also the meaning OF the
Hebrew Ell The extremely common
Egyptian expression 'Nutar Nutra' ex-
actly corresponds in sense to the He
brew Eel Shaddai,' the very title by
which God tells Moses that He was
known to Abraham and Isaac and ia
cob: And God spoke unto Moses, and
said unto him, l am Jahye; and L APP
peared unto Abraham, unto Isaac and
unto Jacob by the name of "El Shad-
dali" but by My name "Jahve" was /
not known to them
ut is very remarkable that 'Brahma'
IN Sanscrit meant originally Power,
the same as EEL 1t resisted for a long
time the NEUROLOGICAL contagion, but
at last it yielded like all other names
of God and became the name of one
god. But the Egyptian 'Nutar' never
became proper name. 1t was indeed
restricted in it's use as far back as our
knowledge of the language enables US
to trace it, but it never ceased to be a
common noun, and was applied indit-
ferently to each of the powers which
the Egyptians conceived as active in
the universe, and to the Power from
which all powers proceed. 'Horus' and
'Ra' and Osiris and Set are names of
individual finite powers; but q power
without a name or any NEUROLOGICAL
characteristic is constantly referred
to in the singular number, and can only
be regarded as the sensus numinis, or
direct conception Of the Infinite,
which, like my learned predecessor,
Prof. Max Muller, l consider not the
result Of reasoning or generalizing
for revelation but as an intuition as
irresistible as the impressions of the
senses"
These views are Endorsed by Mr.. Lo-
gan A. Wood, a writer in Bibla (Meri-
den, November), who says:
''In the foregoing we unquestionably
get the true and most ancient name Of
the Deity. That ancient Egyptian civ
ilization is the oldest known ciyiliza-
ton is an indisputable fact. More than
5000 years ago Egypt bursts upon the
world in history full grown nation,
with a full blown civilization in the
flower Of its matchless perfection,
with no evidence of so-called patri-
archal life, rude beginning or infancy.
It is unquestionably the father of the
civilized peoples and nations of the
world-aye, the civilized world for
more than 1000 years. Hence, the in
eXorable logic of this fact is that there
is where the memorial name God for
ever among all generations was Of
record and known. Where else could
it have been? There was no other
place to record it for, repeat, ancient
Egypt was the whole civilized world
for more than 1000 years, during
which the Pharaohs claimed dominion
over the whole world"

HOW WILD ANIMALS FIGHT.
when n buffalo Bull and Lions Get
Together the battle Is
Terrific.

In the pitched battles which some.
times take place between the great
carnivora and the largest and most
powerful of the OK tribe the forces
of animal courage, desperation and
bodily strength must be exhibited ON
a scale never elsewhere seen, says II
writer in Leslie's Weekly. Such com
bats do occur, but have seldom been
witnessed, and still less frequently
described. Two or three lions some
times combine in such an attack, but
from the marks seen on buffalo 1t
Is probable that sometimes there is n
single combat, for it can hardly be
supposed that the buffalo could es-
cape from more than one lion.
The number of foot-pounds of en-
ergy put into such a struggle mus
be something extraordinary. The et-
forts of a lion, which can strike a
mans arm from the shoulder and
leave it hanging by strip of skin,
or which can carry a COW over high
stockade, endeavoring unsuccessfullY
in close grips, to drag down or disa-
BILE a buffalo bull, must be on a gi-
gantic scale, and the strength which
can shake him off, and, it is believed.
occasionally crush the lion after
ward, must be even more amazing
A buffalo bull has been credited with
engaging three lions in mortal COM
bat, and making good fight before
he was disabled by one Of the lions
hamstringing him by biting his legs
from behind.

More In Touch.

A placard announcing Fine Skat-
ing on Crystal Lake. prompted a
well-known Reading man to indulge
in that diversion the other day. Not
having essayed it for some years, he
soon showed his want of practice by
sitting down very unceremoniously
on the ice, which operation he re-
peated at frequent intervals. One
small boy, observing him in that po-
sition, skated up and said:
Mister, you haven't got your
skates on right
Looking critically at his feet, the
other asked: How, then, would you
have me fix them?"
"Fasten them to the seat of your
pants" replied the youth, as he Gid.
ed swiftly away. - Philadelphia

BUDS and FLOWERS OF
HOME LIFE.
Paines Celery Compound Makes and Keeps
the Children Well and Strong.
Mothers Mako Il the Home Medicine
For the Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers Of our homes. Without their
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desoaie. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, if we expect
them to ripen into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of i'll health and suffering.
We often note the paIlid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and witch
ings of limbs and muscles. They complain OF
headache, drowsness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds Of disease will have
a fast and firm hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore a perfect condition OF
health.
Thousands ofwise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vigor-
Gus by giving them natures medicine, Paine's
Celery Compound. In many severe and com
plicated cases, paine's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
If your dear ones are not as hearty, strong,
and rugged as they should be, Try the health
giving virtues of Paincs Celery Compound.

MONEY MADE AT HOME.
How Girls Who Live In the Country
May Apply Themselves with
Pecunlary Profit.

1 once heard girl complaining that
her country life precluded any posi-
bility of making money, so l told her
about another country girl who made
q comfortable living and helped to q
great extent in her younger sisters
and brothers education, writes Mrs.
S. Carpenter, in American Queen. This
enterprising young woman lived in
pretty house which in summer was COW
cred with trailing vines. She noticed
that the boxes of flowers received by
her city cousins and friends did not
contain any greenery, ferns or large
leaves, so she set to work on her new
idea. Through her city friends she OBJ
tanned the addresses of some Leading
florists and few weeks later found
her supplying three of them regularly
with Virginia creepers, berry leaves
and wandering jew.
Of course her little business did not
bring her in fortune by any means,
but she was patient and in a very
short time devised way Of increasing
her income. The florists whom she
supplied were very glad to recommend
her TO some of their rich patrons. 10
these she wrote asking them to permit
her to demonstrate her ability and
artistic talent for decorating the table.
Two of them readily consented and
that was the second step to most sue
cesssful end. They were so much
pleased that before she could reallze
her good fortune she found herself
very much in demand. To her green
cry enterprise she added the violet cul-
ture and she is now clearing 5000
year, plus perfect health, which has
been the result of her out-ot-door
work.
1t does not follow, of course, that
every country girl lives in vine-cov-
cred houses or has tastes or talents IN
the flower direction, but there are
other fields, if not so remuneratlVe as
vivolet culture. One young woman
raised mushrooms, another gathered
nuts. and still another made delicious
Jams and preserves for which she was
fortunate to get some private orders
The daughter of country doctor was
a clever horsewoman. At the death OF
her father she was ambitious to take
his place as far as possible is the sup
port of her family. So she very
promptly wrote to one or two proml-
nent horse dealers, offering her serv-
ices at a very reasonable salary. They
were accepted and she betook herself
to the great city. Her work was to
exercise the ladies' horses daily by
jumping them, riding to hounds, etc.
She earned a living for herself and
was able to save something, and oc-
casionally when she was fortunate
enough to sell a horse for her employ
er the size of her pocketbook increased
in proportion to the liberal percentage
she received.
There are, really, girls, more ways
and means than you would realize un-
til you begin to think about it; mean
to think in an intelligent way by put
ting your minds in positive attitude
Negative minds and thoughts repel;
positive ones attract the elements
| scattered about in the atmosphere
which only need to be taken in ana
utilized. Try it for yourselves and see
the result.

CHINAMEN IN AMERICA.
Nearly All of Them Came from
KwOng Tung, Most POpulouS
Province in China.

1t is estimated that there are about
100000 Cinnamon in the United States,
and that 10000 of them are in San
Francisco. There is a considerable
Chinese colony in New York and there
are small colonies in Philadelphia,
Boston and Chicago. Though they do
not belong to the educated classes, 95
per cent. of them can read and write,
says Leslie's Monthly. A daily paper
in the Chinese language is published in
San Francisco and another in New
York.
Nearly all the Cinnamon in the United
States come from the single province
of Kwong Tung, the most populous of
the IS provinces of the Chinese empire.
Its capital is Canton. Six counties of
this province send out most of the
emigrants to the United States. The
inhabitants of this province have for
centuries been more adventurous and
fonder of travelling than the rest of
their fellow-countrymen, and they are
always ready to face danger if there
is good chance Of profit.

The End of n Chinnnan.

When a Chinaman dies his body IS
dressed in his best clothes and laid on
the coffin; pigs roasted whole and
other viands are spread out to feed the
spirits of the dead, and in many cases
mourness are hired TO chant the
praises of the deceased. When the
ceremony is over the body is placed in
the coffin, and the procession moves
out to the cemetery. Children dressed
in white often walk barefooted behind
the coffin of their father or mother
Strips of brown paper pierced with
holes are scattered along the road to
keep off any bad spirits that may be
lowering near.-Leslie's Monthly.
