Some things are not as they ought to be in New York. ''One who seeks justice before a judge or jury in the supreme court in Kings county must keep knocking at the courthouse door for nearly eighteen rnonths,' says At itorney Andrew Byrne, ''and in New York county he will knock in vain for almost three years. There were S,445 cases awaiting trial at the trial term of the supreme court, New York coun- ty, on October 1, 1902, and there are more cases on the calendar now than there were then. There are also thou- sands of cases awaiting trial in the city court and the supreme court, Kings county

Until recently Fez, the capital of Morocco, had practically a monopoly in the manufacturing of the Turkish na- tional headdress named after it-the ..fez''-as 1t was supposed that the pe- culiar dull crimson color of the tas- seIed skull cap could only be obtained by using the dye made from a certain berry largely grown in the neighbor- hood of the city, which is also much used in the dyeing of morocco leather. Now, however, France and Turkey, and to a certain extent, Austria, ac- lively compete with Fez for what is still very lucrative trade.

From seven diamonds, weighing from two to twenty-one carats, that have been picked up in Wisconsin and ad- joining States, Professor William H. Hobbs traces the diamond fields of North America to the volcanic regions of the Canadian wilderness, south of Hudson Bay. The only known matrix of the diamond is the black shale-or "bIue ground"-around the necks of burned out volcanoes.

you got off with simply being bilious.
The wonder is that you have any stom-

to stir up your liver little and give you
slight gymnastic exercise, I would ad-
wise you to go and find the doctor who
gave you 100 grains of quinine and give
him good licking. Hit him with your
hands; don't hit with a club or shoot

PlTTSBURG. Aug. An unjust ruI-

by several coal companies and indus
