A distinguished entomologist in Paris
proposes to install menagerie of in
sects at the Jardin des Plantes, says
the New York Globe. He Is very
proud of a spider from Brazil, which
he has kept in a cheese for eight
months, and Of cheerful creature
with a triangular head. which will be
glad, no doubt, to make the SPIDERS
acquaintance. for it Is intended that in
the menagerie the insects shall all
dwell together in a glass case. There
will be perpetual war, of course but
the spectacle will console the Parisians
for the lack of exciting news from
Manchuria. 1.-THE slaughter will be
great" says a sympathetic observer.
"but the well known fecundity of in
sects will fill up the gaps caused by
the pitched battles"

FREE LEGAL ADVICE.
Former Cleveland Judge VIII Aid
Litigants Unable to Hire Counsel.

Judge 4. B. Dissette of Cleveland.
O., intends TO devote the rest of his
life to furnishing legal aid to those in
need and unable TO retain counsel, says
a dispatch from Cleveland. The
judges term on the common pleas
bench expired few days ago. He is
we'll past middle life, but his health is
excellent, and every indication points
to his having many years in which to
practice his unique charity.
Ten years on the bench have shown
me the need of just such practical
philanthropy" said the judge. When
a rich man goes 70 "~,.rt he has the
ablest legal counsel to care for his in
terests But when a poor man is
forced to ask the courts for his rights
very often those rights must be forced
from the reluctant wealthy. In this
case the poor man is at a disadvantage
The poor man is often compelled to
submit to wrongs because he has not
the means to seek redress in the courts.
He is unable to hire lawyer. From
now on | am going to help persons in
that condition. | know that in a GER
tain class Of cases competent legal
counsel can be secured by means Of
contingent fees. But there are many
cases involving rights where there is
no possibility of the necessary money
being earned in the form OF verdict.
Il don't know of any more crying
need than that" concluded the Judge.
ITO help the man who Is in trouble by
giving him tie benefit of free legal
services-l know of no other better
way that a lawyer can do good"

Of the American occupancy is the new
