the head of this parade was a float
upon which was hoisted a huge ball,
in front of the float banner, which
read: Keep the ball rolling" Benton

such cruel ridicule that neither beauty
nor wit were able to withstand them,
and she went one day out of Sara

In Madame Jumel's day there was
a Southern negro who was a local
character in Saratoga. He was keen
of retort and able in verbiage. Mad

drive from the United States to the

tragedy when Martin Van Buren,, the
handsomest of all the presidents, and
the courtliest of gentlemen, who in
all his life had never known the dis
favor of woman, met one great lady
who was mistress of herself and held
convictions of her own. and who
turned her back upon Martin Van
Buren, in the great drawing room of
the United States, and showed to a
great gathering of the aristocracy of
the country that resistance to the fas-
cinations of this brilliant lawyer was
quite possible, had a woman brains.
Mrs. De Witt Clinton and Martin
Van Buren, had never met. The presi-
Dent came to Saratoga, and a great
fete was arranged in honor of his
coming. Mrs. Clinton. by virtue of
her wit and beauty, naturally held SUI
7remacy at the fete. Van Buren's van
ity would not permit him to arrive
at an early hour. Initiating the Eng
lish noblemen, who were then more
familiar in America than they are
now, he waited until all the guests
had been assembled and then made
his entrance while every one stood I'D
to receive him. Mrs. Clinton was an
noyed at the presidents assumption of
personal superiority.
With the smile upon his face which,
story tells us, no woman had ever
been able to resist, he walked across
the floor of the broad dining room
with extended hand to greet Mrs.
Clinton, assuring himself that an in

One of the principal benefits de-
rived from the government expert
ment stations and the different col
leges of agriculture has been in aid
ing the farmer in combating the in
sects and fungi which prey upon his
crops. Years ago when the fruit trees
were affected by scale the advice gen.
orally given was to cut the tree down;
but now the farmer is taught how to
save the tree in many cases, gaining
several years growth over the time
required to grow a new tree to replace
the one destroyed. One of the most
popular and practical methods of

have had several lawsuits, and have
learned some law.
A lawyer once told me that when
he was studying in an Office for admis-
sion to the bar, he thought of writing
an essay on Popular Misconceptions
of Law" and asked the advice of his
preceptor about il, who said. Young
man, you better write an article on

A Lawyers knowledge.
Some people believe a lawyer should
know everything, and when they dis
cover their lawyer does not, begin to
look for another one. Such persons
usually have as many lawyers as they
have legal propositions lodged in their
brains. Whenever the lawyer fails, so
does their faith. They seem never TO
come to the conclusion that a lawyer
should not be expected to know it all
any more than any other person in his
particular calling or business.
Although a lawyer should not be
expected to know everything he should
be expected and should know those
things which viii fulfill the purposes
for which he is sought to be used by
his clients. A legal author well SAYS:
IAN attorney agrees that he possesses
at least the average degree Of skill and
learning in his profession in that part
of the country he practices, and that
he will exercise that learning and skill
with reasonable care and diligence"
Courts of Equity.
1 always supposed a court of equity
was a court of justice until learned
to my sorrow that it was not. I asked
my lawyer the real meaning of a court
of equity He said it was a court of
chancery. And what is a court OF
chancery2n 1T is that side of the
court as distinguished from the law
side" And how do you distinguish
it?" The difference between a court
of equity and court of law is that
equity begins where the law ends, that
equity reaches those cases the law
does not, that equity takes jurisdiction
of those matters only where the law
fails to provide a remedy" AS l did

equity are an outgrowth of the Eng
lish common law. At an early day the
only courts were the law courts, and
as in many cases persons were
wronged. and the courts OF law af-
forded no remedy, it became the Gus
tom to petition the king for justice
TO be done. These cases became so
numerous that the king finally re
ferred them to the Lord High Chaneel-
lor, and he, in turn, feeling burdened
by them, secured the establishment
of regular courts of chancery, from
which we derive the term 'ehancery,' /
and which are called courts of equity
because they seek to do equity in
those cases where the law fails TO do
so" As an illustration he mentioned I

Motor for the Bicycle.

The large majority of those who a
few years ago took up cycling as an
amusement have been unable to re-
place the bicycle with the automo-
bile. now that the latter has made its
appearance. and have had to be con-
tent to stick to the wheel or find some
other form of pastime to afford exer-
else and occupy their spare moments.
As a slightly cheaper vehicle than
the regular horseles carriage, and a
number of these machines may be
seen every day in populated districts,
but heretofore no provision has been
made for attaching motor to the old
bicycle and it has been necessary to
provide an entirely new frame to car
ry the engine which propels the cycle
The usual method of mounting the
motor for running the two-wheeled
machine is to place it in a circular
frame in the position occupied by the
crank shaft in the regular bicycle

telegraph Wires as garometers.

A new use has been found for tele-
graph wires. DR.. Laska, a Polish
meteoroIogist, has studied the hum
ming sound they emit occasionally,
and has found that it is not caused by
the wind, as commonly supposed.
Eydam's observations, extending over
several years, show that these sounds
always indicate the approach of rain,
snow or storm, and Laska inclines
to the belief that they are in some
way caused by terrestrial vibrations
induced by meteorological changes.

While acetylene gas has proven

TOBACCO AND WEST POINT

For nearly a quater of a century,
the cadets at West Point have been
prohibited from using tobacco in any
form. That is. there has been a rule
prohibiting the use of tobacco, a rule,
however, which many a hoary-headed
officer will now testify has been more
honored in the breach than in the OBJ
servance. One of the most conspic-
uous officers Of the army upon a re-
cent visit to the academy, laughingly
pointed out to a friend a place in the
floor where years before he had been
accustomed to conceal his tobacco.
But 1t is safe to say smoking has
not been a regular habit among the
officers at West Point. The penalties
imposed upon discovery have been too
severe to admit of frequent infractions
of the ~no-tobacco law. A cadet does
not relish marching back and forth
with gun on shoulder for two hours
a day for six days in succession, even
for a few delectable whiffs of ambro-
sial nicitine.
But that the ~no-tobacco rule has
been broken at West Poine the auth
critics know and because 1T is believed
persistent violation al have none bu'
a demoralizing effect upon the yount
men and the institution, the rule ha!
been abolished. Hereafter pipes an
