LAWYER MADE AN APOLOGY.
Revised the Opinion as to the Intellect
Of the Court.

Some years ago there was an old
Judge on the bench in Berks county,
Pa. whose decisions. in consequence
of numerous reversals did not always
command universal respect, One day,
in a case in which he was sitting, one
of the lawyers lost patience at his in
ability to see things in a certain light,
aud IN the heat of the moment re-
marked that the intellect OF the court
was so dark flash of lightning could
not penetrate it. For this conterpt
the judge showed disposition to be
very severe with the offender, and it
was only after much persuasion by
friends OF the latter that he yiel ed
and decided to accept public apos-
ogy. The following day the lawyer,
accordingly, appeared before his honor
and made amends by saying. Il re-
gret very much that [ said the intel
lect of the court was SO dark lightning

STATISTICS OF NIGHT HERoNS
They Are Sought by the Smithsonian
Institution,

InSLtIUIiOU.
Eight hundred night herons are wan
dering free about the United States,
each wearing on one leg an aluminium
band inscribed Smithsonian Institu-
ton" and a number. II any person
shoots one of these birds he should
write to Paul Bartsch, biologist Of the
Smithsonian, telling where it was and
how large was the bird. The night
heron is one of the most beautiful
of the aquatic birds of America, but
scientists know less about it than they
are satisfied with. Last year Mr..
Rartsch discovered several breeding
places of these birds on the Potomac
in the District Of Columbia. Recently
he visited the place With several as
81 stants in the night and the 800
aluminium bands were fastened to the
legs OF as many yaaHg herons. Science
is anxious to know how long the night
heron lives, where 1t spends the win
ters and how much of the country it
covers in its wanderings. 1t Is be-
lieved that by the time a few Of the
numbered aluminium bands have been
reported some Of these facts will have
been established to the satisfaction of
the ornithologists. - Cleveland CO.,

They Were First Made in America,
but Asiatics Monopolized the Art.
The playing cards OF the present da,
do not differ in general appearance
from those OF several centuries ago.
although the discovery of the art Of
printing has made them more plenti.
ful. though scarcely more artistic.
The cards in use to-day are derived
from stick game supposed to have
originated in America. Fifty small
sticks are a pack. the game" was
originally for the player tc divide the
sticks rapidly with his two hands. the
opponent guessing which hand held
the larger number.
Owners Of sticks spent rainy days
in carving them. The Asiatics bor-
| rowed the game and carved more elab-
crate counters out of ivory: those with
/ different carvings grow to have diff
ferent values; arranging them in
groups Of fours made it necessary to
add two to the original number Then
thin slabs of ivory began to be used
For centuries after this all playing
cards We're, nanu painted, AT nrSt on
| ivory or metal, atterward on card
board. The pictures. at frst legend
| ary heroes and ladies, gradually be.
came the fixed, wood-faced caricatures
We now know And these coming

| journey around the world, find our

same kind Of sticks their forefathers
used.
