nine lawyers in MADEIRA, md TINT each
has n very high opinion OF himself. Tho
leadership question is Il moot one and
the committee was reluctant to enter
upon so serious nm undertaking as the
bestOwal Of the proud distinction. Sc
it was decided to let the lawyers decide
1t among the mselves. Accordingly the
MADEIRA bar went Into executive session
with n supply Of ballots, resolved tc
elect n leader. The ballots we're de,
posted in n hat, and when they wore
counted ii was found that each lawyer
had received ono vote. Senator Couch
or admitted TINT no had voted for him

purpose of making il unanimous. Whcr
tho failure OF tho ballot was reported
back to the committee. the members
OF TINT astutc body decided to solve the

He Paid His Debt Promptly.

A train was just starting to leave a suburban station, says the New York Tribune, when an elderly man rushed across the platform and jumped on one of the slowly moving cars. The rear-end brakeman, who was standing by, reached up just as the man got aboard, grabbed his coat tails and pulled him off. "There," he said. sternly, "I have saved your life! Don't ever try to board a train that way again."
 "Thank you," said the old mah calmly. "Thank you for your thought full kindness. It is three hours till the next train, isn't it?"
 "Three hours and a quarter" said the brakeman, "but it is better to wait that length of time than to be killed"
 The long train, meanwhile, had been slowly gliding by, slowing gathering speed. Finally the last car appeared, This was the brakeman's car the one for which he had been waiting, and with the easy grace born of long prac- tice, he started to step majestically on it.
 But the old gentleman seized him by the coat, and with strong jerk pulled him back, and held him until it was too late.
 "One god turn deserves another," said the old gentleman, with smile. "You saved my life, I have saved yours. Now we are quits."

 History makes haste to record great deeds, but often neglects good ones.- Ballou.
 Recollection is the only paradise from which we cannot be turned out. Richter.
 A man cannot have an idea of per lection in another, which he was never sensible of in himself.-Steele.
 More helpful than all wisdom Is one draught of simple human pity that will not forsake us.-George Eliot.
 If there is any person to whom you feel dislike, that is the person of whom you ought never to speak.-R. Cecil.

Coming to the Tunnel.

It is most curious fact, though it may have escaped general attention that the approach of train in tun- nel may be easily ascertained some sec onds before it is visible to those trav- cling towards it in an opposite direc- tlon. The length of tunnel is no ob- stacle to the realization of this curi- ous phenomenon, and compressed air Is the medium which produces the pe- culiar underwater" sensation. With out any warning the drum of the ear is pneumatically pressed inwards the mo- ment the locomotive of the other train enters the tunnel (which, for all prac- tical purposes, is only a large tube), owing to the now limited air-space. Many persons must have noticed this peculiar feeling in the ears without giving the matter second thought.

 Sand is plentiful and inexpensive in Holland, and is used instead of hay and straw as beds for cows. It keeps the animals perfectly clean, requiring only slight raking in the morning to soften and freshen 1t.
 The death plant of Java has flowers which continually give off perfume so powerful as to overcome, if inhaled for any length of time, full-grown man, and which kills all forms of in sect life that come under its influence.
 The Japanese, having become rather proud of the way in which they are amazing the Russians, think they are likely to become the rulers of the sea. They therefore propose to challenge the New York Yacht Club for the America cup.

JOSH elLLlNos' PHILOSOPHY.

It iz no disgrace to be bit bi a dog once, but the seckond time 1t iz.
 think we reach more konklushuns bi guessing than we do bi reazoning.
 Silence iz allwuss safe, and iz ire. Quently the smartest thing we kan say.
 Most ov the lies that are told are told from habit, rather than malshus desighn.
 Flattery often may be innosent, but 1t iz never but one remove from de- cepshun.
 It iz the fear ov the law, more than the luv ov 1t, that keeps the best ov us out ov mischief.
 Yu are not certain ov enDy mans reputashun or estate until he jz in the hands ov the undertaken.
 The most pentitent and humble peo- pie in the world are thoze who hay simply outlived their sins and trans greshuns.
 Thare iz nothing so cheap az opin- yuns; everybody haz sum to dispoze ov. They ain't worth hutch enny- how; if they waz, folks wouldn't be so anxious to giv them away.
