A Tart RetOrf.

In arguing case in an English court
the late Frederic Rene Coudert, whose
wit was rapier-like, took occasion to
deprecate the legal learning of Lord
Chancellor Fitzgibbon, whom his op-
ponent was quoting. The trial Judge
took timid exception to this. "I have
read his opinions" he said, "and 1
have often wished 1 knew asmuch law
as he did" "I wish you didp' retort-

An umbrslla Trick.

'That's no way to put on an umbrea-
la cover, my DEAR" remarked the man
to his wife, who was preparing to GO
out one cloudy day.
Don't fuss at it like that. No; you
don't want to turn the cover right side
out. Leave it as it is and put the ferrule
of the umbrella through the little tin
top, so. Now take hold of the top of
the case and pull it right up over The
umbrella, just as you stripped it off.
See? 1t doesn't take half minute and
Is much easier than laboriously turning
the narrow case right side out"

The silver Bridge.

One Of the customs observed at a
Bohemian marriage feast is that of
making the bride cross a silver bridge.
The brides father-in-law lifts her OH to
the table. where she walks on two rows
of silver coins, at the end of which her
husband stands and receives her into
his arms. The silver bridge typifies
the wealth with which her bridegroom
hopes to smooth her path in life.

Robbers Make Use Of This Herb.

In New Caledonia there is said to be
an herb which has the rare property
of revealing ones secrets. 1t is known
as the Datura stramonium and has
white flowers and rough berries full OF
dark grains. They are treated of in the
annals Of Hygiene and Colonial Med
tcine." A person who has swallowed
the tea made Of this herb will after
falling asleep tell where his money is
hidden and will also arise and go di-
rect to where his treasure is concealed.
Robbers often use this tea as knockout
drops with which to rob their victims.

AS party We have reason for con-
graduation on the prosperity that has
followed our party's administration III
both state and nation, At the time we
were admitted as a state. one OF the
main objections urged by some Of the
financial men who We're slow to ac-
cept statehood was that the revenue
allowed by the constitution would be
insufficient TO meet the expenses of
state government. Yet under recon-
mendatlons made by our Republican
governor 10 the lawmaking bodies OF
our state, our expenditures have been
Kept within the revenues and within
the very moderate rates OF taxation al
lowed by our constitution, and at the
same time the credit OF the state has
been raised to and maintained in the
frst rank. AS an evidence Of this fact,
that part Of the old territorial debt
which has matured since we became a
state has, under authority OF law, been
refunded, and the rate OF interest
borne by the new bonds Is but three
and one-fourth per cent per annum
compared with per cent paid on the
bonds refunded. Thus our state has
sold It's bonds al a rate only one-fourth
OF one per cent higher than that paid by
CUR general government on bonds sold
