Newspaper Rulings.
eoME INTERESTING DECISIONS Az UNITED
STATES sUPREME COURT AZ tt THE
LIABILITY OF SUBSCRIBERS.

i. IF subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue to send same until
all arrearages are paid.
2. If subscribers refuse to take
their periodicals from the p~ostofice to
which they are addressed, they are re-
sponsible until they have settled their
bills and ordered the. paper Tor other
periodically discontinued.
d 3 If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publisher,
and the papers are sent to the former
address, subscribers are responsible:
4 The Court has. decided that.re-
fusfng to take periodicals froarrths
postofhce, or removing and having
them ~uncalled for, is prima facie evi-
f6nce Of intentional fraud. So
' 5. If subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not wish to
continue the periodical; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to continue
sending it and the subscriber is respon-
sible until an cypress notice, with pay
ment of all arrearages, is sent to the
publisher.
6 The latest postal laws are such
that a newspaper man can arrest any
one for fraud that takes his paper and
refuses to pay for it Under the law,
the man who allows his subscription to
run along Tor some time unpaid and
then orders it discontinued, or orders
the postmaster to mark it refused. and
has a postal card sent notifying the
publisher of such fact, renders himself
liable to prosecution, arrest and-kne,
the same as for theft. & 5--

AN ODD DUEL.
It Introduced a Frenchman to the
Possibilities of Baseball.

Possibilities of Baseball.
A Frenchman challenged an Amer
lean to fight. The American, a husky
six footer from Yale, who had pitched
on the baseball team and stroked the
crew, was loath to accept and took the
matter as something Of joke. The
count pressed his desire for satisfac-
ton, and at last the son Of old Ell con.
sented to meet him, stipulating that he
should choose his own weapons. Sec
onds were agreed upon, and the mode
Of combat chosen by the American was
baseballs at twenty PAGES. 1t was
dangerously close range for man who
spent three years twirling inshoots
and outdrops over twelve inch plate
and likely to be pretty accurate shot
with a baseball, but the Frenchman
was game, and they met on the out
skirts Of the city at daybreak.
Each was to have three shots, and
the count won the toss and thereby the
privilege Of leading Off. Perhaps he
had never seen baseball before, and
at any rate, the man from Yale had nc
difficulty in lodging the adamantine
spheres which the son Of Belle France
sent scaling In his direction.
Then the American opened fire. The
first ball grazed the Frenchman'i
shoulder, the second lodged in the pit
Of his stomach and the third, an In
shoot, caught him full on the point OF
the chin. He went down and out and
never challenged another American cit
lien.

Orange Blossoms.

Much uncertainty exists as to why
the orange blossom has been so much
worn by brides, but the general opin.
ion seems to be that it was adopted
as an emblem Of fruitfulness. Accord.
Ing to some authorities, the practice
has been derived from the Saracens
among whom the orange blossom was
regarded us symbol Of prosperous
marriage, circumstance which Is
partly to be accounted for by the fact
that in the east the orange tree bears
ripe fruit and blossoms at the same
time.

The Little Toe to Go.

A comparative anatomist says that
the little toe has got to go; that 1t is a
useless appendage, already showing
signs of degeneration or whitening
away. 1t is proved that the horse, in
the course of several centuries, has
dropped four toes and now travels on
one. and some think that mans pedal
extremities are bound to follow sim
liar line of evolution. In the horse II
is the middle digit which has survived
as the fittest. In man it will be the
first or great toe.

Every year in the Rumai country, in
India, about October, a marriage lot
terry Is held. The names Of all the mar
rlageable girls and Of the young men
of the circle who want to get married
are written on slips Of paper and
thrown into separate earthen pots
From these they are drawn against
one another by the local wise man
This simply determines the fact that
the Rumai girl has come out and is
ready to be married. and the youth
whose name is drawn against hers
thereby obtains a letter of introduc
ton, with authority to make love i'm
mediately with what ardor and success
he is capable Of.

A MAN OF LETTERS.
Rare Brevity and Beauty of Linc0ln'o
More Notable Addesses.

Nothing would have amazed Mr..
Lincoln more than to hear himself
called a man of letters, and yet 1t
would be hard to find in all literature
anything to excel the brevlty and beau
ty of his address at Gettysburg or the
lofty grandeur Of his second inaugural.
In Europe his style has been called a
model for the study and imitation Of
princes, while in our own country
many of his phrases have already pass
ed into the daily speech Of mankind.
His gift Of putting things simply and
clearly was partly the habit Of his own
clear mind and partly the result Of the
training he gave himself in days of
boyish poverty, when paper and ink
were luXuries almost beyond his reach
and the words he wished to set down
est and shortest to express the ideas
he had in view. This training Of
thought before expression, Of knowing
