The Highest Court,

In Colorado is a small town, which has the distinction of being away up above the Cripple Creek, as well as 13,200 feet above sea level.
 In the month of May, not many years since, they carried the mail to this town on snow shoes, distance of 150 miles. So, you see, it is of some importance.
 It would be important, if for no oth- CT reason than that is boasts a jus tice of the peace, and he is as inn portant as any other functionary of his class. However, he has lot of solid horse sense.
 A suit was to be tried before him, and one of the parties stirred the community from center to circum- pass" by sending off and importing a lawyer.
 That case dragged itself out to an unprecedented length-and the popu- lace had never dreamed that law was so full of objections and exceptions, motions, protests, eXpostulations and the like, as that lawyer proved it to be. He was to them another wonder of the, world.
 But there was one thing he couldn't prolong, and that was the prompt, crisp, decisive judgment for the plaintiff,' that his honor snapped out Is soon as the trial was fairly over, and almost before.
 "Well, sir" said the lawyer in tones of superiority, Eve will have to take this case to higher court"
 "You can't do that, mister," replied the magistrate.
 And why not, pray?"
 "There ain't no higher court, sir This court is thirteen thousand two hundred feet above the level of the sea, sir-and I'll have you distinctly understand, sir, that it is the highes court in all this broad land, sir."- | Philadelphia Ledger.

PAWN THEIR WIVES.
Curious Custom Exists in Some Parts of Madras-AuthOrities Try
 ing to Suppress It.

They have curious way of utilizing wives and daughters in some parts of Madras, says Golden Penny. If man wants money he puts these members of his establishment in pawn, and his cred- itor detains them until the debt is dis charged. The custom varies in different localities. In Nellore the Yercalls pledge their daughters to creditors, who may either marry them or give them away, and man who has to go to jail deposits his wife with another man of her tribe until his return. In North Arcot un- married daughters are frequently mort gagged, and become the absolute prop erty of the mortgagee until liquidation.
 In some parts men sell their wives for sums of 95 or so, and have no fur ther claim upon them.
 The authorities as far as possible put down these economical expedients, which, we are afraid would find favor elsewhere were they permissible, and we can fancy the strange aspect of so- cial life which would then be presented 1 Thus a man would be heard saying to his wife when heavy bill had to be met: fI am afraid we cannot manage without it, my dear; we must pawn Juliana;" or, supposing him to have de- posted his wife, he might say to his lit tie child: ''If you are a good girl, my dear, I will give you treat, and take out your mamma" Under such con- ditions children would become pledges of affection" in more senses than one.

CONDEMNED MURDERERS SING.
They Greet Death Sentence in Merry StyIe-InduIge in Lively Song
 Way to Prison.

Two criminals were condemned to death by the court of Tuebingen, in Germany, recently for a murder end robbery which they had carefully planned.
 On the death sentence being passed one of the men calmly drew out his snuff box and took a pinch of snuff
 When the question was put to the jury whether the prisoners should be rec commended to the kings grace, he re- marked that he did not place the slight est value on his life, and jocularly prom ised to pay the police sergeant a visit some day, carrying his head under his arm.
 On entering the prison van the men took leave of the public with hearty "Good-by, gentlemen; amuse your selves" During the drive to the prison they sang lively song, and their prison they greeted with hurrahs.

Reads Like n Miracle.

Friarspoint, Miss, Nov. 3o.--The Butt Ter case still continues to be the talk of the town. Mr. G. l.. Butler, the father of the little boy, says:- | "The doctor said my boy had disease of the spinal chord, and treated him for two months, during which he got worse all the time, Finally, the doctor told ms he did not know what was the trouble The boy would wake up during the night and say that he was dying. He would he nervous and trembling and would want to run from the house, saying he saw ugly things which frightened him. After we had tried everything else, I read an ad- vertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills. as :. cure for Nervous Troubles. I purchased some and used them until he had taken aE together eight boxes, when vas s9Gnd and well, with not a single sy -m of the old trouble. This was somet months ago, and I feel sure that he is perrhaneDtlx cured. We owe to Dodd's Kidney PlIs zlE the. credit for his restoration t good health."

GIadstone's Closing Years.

Early in the S0s, ,Gwhen he lived in Harley street, My Gladstone often walked from his Mouse to Westminster by the way of Regent street and Pall Mall, and it was on one of these oc- casionns, in the yellow dusk of win try afternoon that I saw him for the first time. Even the few in the crowd who did not know him were arrested by the rare ldisdnction of his appear ance, which suggested both power and benevolence. Apparently in the prime If life, though actually beyond it, and with a figure of supple strength and more than common height, his face pallid but luminous, he bore himself with that dignity and grace which mo- bles and princes do not always inherit and the leaders of men can not al- ways acquire There was in him "a combination and a form, indeed, to give the world assurance of a man" :" Other distinguished people might be mistaken for something less than they are-the late Lord Salisbury, for in stance, or Lord Rosebery-but it was impossible to see MT. Gladstone, whether one knew him or not, with out recognizing in him 8 man both un- usual and paramount. Those among the passers who did not know him gazed and wondered; the others whis- pered his name, and many of them, after passing him once, turned in their path and doubled on it for the sake Of passing him again.
 SoCn after this it was. my privilege to become acquainted with him per sonally, and frequent correspondence between us ensued, leading to occa- sional visits to Hawarden, which, I need not say, made red-letter days for me and were looked forward to with n6 less appreciation than the memory of them justified when they were over.
 His urbanity had an old-world qual- ity of courtliness without the chill of ceremoniousness, and the visitor was quickly made to feel that he was an ob- | iect of friendly interest and considered | rather than the recipient of honors and privileges, ready as he properly might | be to see himself only on that footing

A Brilliantly Whi
 N lA.

For a cr5s~ral wedding celebrated IL New York the invitations came on imita- tion glass cards. The walls of the rooms were hung with French mirrors with beautifully carved frames of gilt and enwreathed in garlands of pink roses, the favorite flower of the hostess. Every flower holder was of clear glass and the lights were in glass candlesticks, white candles being used to heighten the crys- tai effect But the glory of the party, says What to Eat, was the table and buffet in the dining room where cut glass was exclusively used. The brilliancy was dazzling; it was like millions of fairy rainbows. The souvenirs for the occasion were tiny glass slippers. A pretty feature was the passing Of cut glass loving cup filled with fruit punch, and toast by the friends present. The next day I asked the hostess to tell me the secret by which she keeps her fine collection of cut glass so clear and shin ing and has so few pieces broken, and she gave me the following rules:
 Always temper cut glass before serv- ing anything very cold in it. Ifyou wish to serve ice. first pour in little cold wa ter, then more, put in a bit of ice and then more ice until the bowl is chilled. This prevents breaking. Never wash cut glass in greasy water, or in very hot water. Use the best soap, warm water, and stiff brush. Wash carefully and go over the crevices with brush. Rinse in clear water of the same temperature and set to drain. Drain in box con- taining boXwood sawdust. When dry go over with soft brush or cloth to re- move the sawdust
 Put folded towel in the bottom of the pan when you wash or drain cut glass. Do not put shot in cut glass de- canters, bottles or carafes as this scratches the glass. Cut potato parings in small bits and put them in with water Keep linen towels for wiping glass as the

 He was on his knees in his best dress trousers pouring out his tale of love from the depths of his impas- stoned soul.
 Jesslca was strangely moyed-but the typewriter stuck.
 The carriage rode on an oiled bar at the back. This oil was old and gum my The oil on Scribner's old machine never had chance to grow gummy. 1t took him 12 minutes to find out what the matter was and another five to remedy the trouble and try to wash the oil from his hands.
 Then he proceeded to get Harold off his knees and made Jessiea promise to marry him in spite of his poverty when who should burst into the room but the rich Jack Darlington.
 "See!" he cried, exultingly She can never be yours. I have here a mortgage on her fathers min long since overdue. Let her refuse to mar ry me and I will foreclose."
 With spring like an enraged tigress Jessica grasped the fatal paper and held it up, In this she was slav- ishly copying the machine It had been holding the paper up for the last three lines, which had been written ever each other. The sprlng of the paper shift had broken and Scribner had failed to see it.
 He patched it up with a rubber band and Jessica, relieved from her strained position, was about to throw the mort gage into the fire, which burned bright ly in the open grate. Before she could accomplish 1T purpose Darlington was upon h and ere Harold could interfere he had grasped her roughly by the shoulder. Her light dress brushed across the coals and in an in- stant her slight, girlish figure was in , flames.
 Harold sprang toward her and the rubber band sprang toward the eeil- | ing. Scribner left Jessica blazing mer- rily away while he climbed down four flights of stairs to purchase some more bands
 With the second elastic in place he quickly extinguished the flames with | HarOld'S invaluable assistance Then it all came out that Harold was the 1 rightful heir to the Darlington for tune and that Jack Darlington was an imposter Harold married Jessica and gave Darlington a thousand dollars to i go west with and start life over again.
