LAWYERS FEES.
How They Are Paid Across the At

How They Are Paid Across the At
Iantic.
Comparisons are often made be
tween the fees of counsel in England
and America, and with unsatisfactory
results, as it is difficult to find any
relative standard by which to meas
ure the result. says the Green Bug.
In this country a firm of lawyers
would take entire charge of such
case as Whitaker Wright's and have
the sole conduct CT it from start tc
finish, and would probably charge a
fee to cover the entire work per
formed, based in some measure upon
the result. In England firm of
solicitors is employed to prepare the
case for trial, but upon each hearing
before the magistrate and at the trial
counsels are retained, the solicitors
usually being the ablest and most
skilful their clients means will afford
In the Whitaker Wright trial thou
sands of pounds were doubtless spent
by both sides in getting the case
ready. Part of this money was "out
of pockets" for the services of &C
countants and scriveners, but profit
costs Of the solicitors must have been
very large. 1t is commonly reported
that Rufus Isaacs, K. c., who, with
Mr.. Avery, X. c., and Emery Steph
enson, conducted the prosecution, had
500 guineas-say $2,500-marked up
on his brief, with daily refresher OF
100 guineas, which would make his
compensation for the actual court
work $500.
In the usual course Mr.. Avery
would receive fee of two-thirds the
amount of Rufus Isaac's fee and Mr.
Stephenson's fee would amount to
twothirds of Mr.. Averyrs fee. If this
system was followed, and there is no
reason to believe it was not, Mr.
Avery received $500 and Mr.. Steph.
enson $500, or a total of. approx
mately, $4,000 for the three counsels
Ransom Walker is said to have had

improbable that the defendants coun.

A HAT FOR SUMMER.

An excellent way to utilize a last
years lace collar ,--.e collar which
came about to the shoulder seam) is
your summary hats. With a wreath
of flowers and last years lace col
lar the prettiest sort of hat can
be made. Use frame without much
crown. and face it with shirred or
plated chiffon in some becoming
shade. Gather the neck of the collar
until it forms a tiny crown. Place
on the frame, allowing about one and
one-half inches to hang over. Tack
securely, but loosely. Join the back
as invisibly as possible. Surround
the crown with a wreath of roses,
forget-me-nots or any flower prefer
red, which will add width to the
crown. Arrange the wreath SO as to
allow a spray of leaves to droop a
trifie over the back of the hat, to
conceal the joining of the collar.
Any of the soft sash ribbons which
are so. charming this season will
make a very dainty crown for a hat.
The pompadour ribbons scattered
with flowers are the prettiest for this
purEpse. The crown may be in the
form of a tam-o'-shanter, or the rib
bon may be put over a rather high
frame crown and shirred a trifie at
the top. The brim may be of lace. or
of tulle or chiffon matching the color
of the flower seen in the ribbon

At dinner party the hors-doeuvres

brilliantly lighted apartment, and
then, to the CONSERVATION of people
who are new to the idea, the light
goes out.
Then the door opens and the ser,
wants come in carrying brilliantly IL

and, as each guest takes his or her
portion, they help themselves to a
light at the same time, and when

Suppose the fish contains lobster
in some form or other, the electric
light shade is in the shape of the
head of the lobster, and sheds de.
lightful red glow over the table.

shown when the ices are served
Generally, huge bird or beast, basket
or cornucopia made of ice is wheeled
into the room, blazing with lights and
filed with ices. When each guest is

those on the plates illuminate the

When@ strawberry ices are served
the shades take either the form of
the berry itself in crimson or the pure
white blossom. These are given al.

prettiest effect.

Great Care Il. Observed in the Selec-
ton Of Gun Pointers.
It Is only half the work TO arm and
equip ships win the most improved
guns and sights; they must also have
a highly trained personnel capable OF
manipulating guns, turrets and tor
pedoes. When China found herself
arrayed against Japan she offered
$500 cash per month for skilled gun
pointers, but in all great navies gum
pointers are trained, not bought, and
when the fight is on it is too late for
instruction.
How does man become an expert
gunner? Diligent drill and constant
training are not enough without
certain amount of natural aptitude.
One man after another is tried. A
few days drill in the turrets elimi-
mates all except the fairly promis-
ing. For the talent of eye and nerve
which marks the born gun-pointer
the government pays from 81 to $40
month in addition to the regular
pay. This premium is not confined to
any race, creed or color. On one
vessel in the navy one of the gun
pointers Is a negro.
Selecting gun-pointers Is one OF the
most important duties in the navy.
Having selected the men for gun
pointers, the next step is to train
them. Two methods are now in
vogue, both having the same prin-
ciple, but differing in detail. In the
old days of sails and smooth bore
guns, the invariable rule-and the
only rule the gun-captains knew
was this: Fire at the top of the
downward roll Gust as the ship be-
gins to roll toward the target, and
aim at the enemy's water line" This
rule lasted far into the age of steam
and turret guns. and has only re-
