A lawyer Of the good old southern
type bad argued for three court days
without pause. His brief was Il master

eruditjon, but it was tireSome.
Major Sigsbee,' said the wearied
judge at last, without wishing to init
mate in any way that the court would
not be delighted to listen to your whole
argument, I must suggest that the
docket is somewhat crowded. and that
if you could condense a little it might
help your clients cause"
The attorney smiled his acknowledge

pared my argument sub. fob the next

"In November, 1885," says book OF
the Klondike, horses We're left to die
on the trails and in Dawson. There
was neither work nor feed for them.
Horses We're offered to me for their
keep, but l refused. These same horses
wandered up in the hills, where the
snow was five feet deep. They brushed
the snow away with feet and nose,
finding luscious whortleberries, black
berries and raspberries in great guam
titles. The lowest authentic record at
the barracks was 81 degrees below
zero. Yet in the spring the horses were
reclaimed by their owners and looked
infinitely better than when turned out
to die at the beginning of the winter
This was a lesson as we'll as a reTeka-
ton. During the summer of 1850 horses
were imported into the klo@,dike in
mum bers, and l 200 OF them passed the
next winter in transporting men and
supplies from Dawson to the mines.
The dogs We're almost entirely super
seeded, and their value, formerly $50,
became merely nominal, for a good
horse, after all, could pull 4 ton over
the smooth icy trails-a labor that
would require three sleiGhs and twenty
dogs

Color,

Color is very commonly looked upon
as a definite quality. This. however, is
only partly true. The more correct and
scientific concept of color is that it is
simply the name Of a certain group of
sensations by which we are affected.
Thus we say The rose is red 1t is
more correct to say ''the rose produces
in US the sensation we call redness-
4 man who is color blind will declare
that it is green showing that the color
is not in the thing, but in the percep-
ton Of it.
So far, therefore, from retaining their
color in the dark. objects cannot prop
erly be said to possess it even in the
light 1.-The rose Is red really means
that the size and arrangement of it's
surface molecules ape s;ich as to re-
fleet that particular part of the spec
trum which we have agreed to call
red.
In the dark it is simply black or col
orless. though it retaifis its capacity for
again exciting In US the sensation Of
redness on being restored to the light,
just as an empty glass retains its ca
pacity for being refilled.

Long Distance Voices.

Mrs. ONphant in her life Of the Rev.
Edward Irving states that he had been
on some occasions clearly heard at the
distance of half mile, and it has been
alleged that Black John Russell OFF Kill
marnock, celebrated by Burns in no
gracious terms, was heard at the dis
lance of a full mile.
Itwould appear that even this is not
the record for long distance hearing
A correspondent Of JnmeSon's Journal
in 1S2S states that, being at the west
end of Dunfermline, he heard part OF q
sermon then in course of delivery at
tent at CARNEY Hill by Dr. Block. II
did not he writes, miss word,
though the distance must be about two
miles; the preacher has seldom been
surpassed for distant speaking and
clear voice, and the wind, which was
steady and moderate, came In the d.
rection of the sound."--London Stand

THE LOOMS MYSTERY.

The finding of the body OF F. Kent
Looms and the positive identification
by means of his watch, ring, his
overcoat a card in his pocket and the
size and form OF the body, seem to
leave the case as much shrouded in
mystery as ever.
The coroner's jury completed it's
work to-day, handing in verdict that
LOOMS was found dead but that
there was no evidence at hand to
show how he met his death. The
true story OF the death of Mr.. LOOMS
will probably never be known. 1t is
thrice sad because he was a bright
and promising young man and by his
death a young wife is made a widow
and a five weeks old child an orphan.
