Judge speer Said $500 Was Entirely
Too Much.

Too Much.
Valdosta, Ga, Dec ia case which
elected unusual interest in the United
States Court this morning was the
petition of the attorneys in the Cat
chell and McRanie bankruptcy proceed
ings for fees of $500. which was more
than had been fixed by the special
master. The court denied the appica-
ton with the statement that IF we
should allow such large fees in all of
the bankruptcy cases the members of
our bar would become so much more
opulent than the judge himself that 1t
would reduce us to a position of positive
inferiority. In the language OF DR..
Samuel Johnson, they would become
rich beyond the dreams of avarice."

Offerings by the King.

These and other evidences of private
piety We're, however, quite cclipsed by
the religious offerings of the state,
for in addition to first fruits, Erman
says: "We have much information as
to the extent, and the kind of offerings;
on the outer wall of the great temple
of Medinet Habu there still exist parts
Of list Of the offerings instituted by
Rameses III. and Rameses III. for this
,anctuary. which was erected by them.
Every day of the year the
temple received about 1920 loaves of
bread, tw'entyfour cakes. 144 jugs of
beer, thrty-two geese, and several Jars
IF wine"
But these items refer to one temple
,nly, and are as nothing compared with
the offerings of Rameses ILL.,, who Mt
mis- death left comprehensive mani
lesto, in which he gave full details of
al that he had done for the temples of
bis country during the thlrty.one years
Of his reign. The figures in these lists
are evidently taken from the account
books of the state. and Of the various
temples, and ought therefore to be
worthy pof credence.
We owe this information to the dis.
covery of the Great Harris Papyrus'

The American and His Oyster.

The oyster in his glory is a rich
dark-colored shapely inhabitant OF salt
water. He is plump, but not swelled
up, and has delicious, incompatible
salty flavor, which nobody who really
knows him and has the taste to appre
ciate him would ever dream OF spoil
ing with crude condiments. But rarely
will the oysterman send such an eX-
quisite creature to market 1t is not
lat enough or white enough for the
vulgar crowd SO he puts it in fresh,
or nearly fresh, water to "iatten'-
that is, he draws off the fine natural
juices by a process OF osmosis. and
substitutes therefor a quantity OF water
which distends it like balloon and
makes it just as tasteless. But it looks
tat like a scrawny Christmas turkey
judiciously fed by an air pump. Then
it is put before the American as an oys-
ter, and the American, who judges his
food and drink largely by labels, pours
over it salt, pepper, tabasco, Worces-
tershire, horseradish, or what not. and
thinks it is all right. He might as well
have any sort or sea urchin that was
soft and puffy and wet as vehicle for
the concoctions which he uses to make
himself believe that an oyster tastes
like something

Here we are like tiny flies glued to a

Where we are going. or where our

have stopped butchering each other for

that.
AS our earth rolls along, she keeps
in her track, lodges comets and other

her crops with regularity, and keeps
us safe.
Let us be thankful for our safety
