Human Justice.

The ancients gave to Justice a divine
origin and character. To the modern
view she appears every way human.
The author of "The Old Schoolmaster'
describes a down-east character, Law
yer Holiness" whose notion Of this vir-
tue was certainly modern in it's prac-
ticality. He occasionally practised law
in a small way, and in a manner pc
culiarly his own.
On one occasion a flock of sheep dis
appeared, and their heads were found
in a -four barrel i'll the barn of a GER
tain man, who was thereupOn arrested
and tried for sheep-stealing. Lawyer
Holmes, in conducting the defense,
maintained that the sheep were not
stolen, but had strayed away, as was
common in the spring.
Mr.. Chamberlain, the prosecuting at
torney, said: "Yes, know sheep delU
stray this time of year, but they don't
usually leave their heads in -four bar
rels in the haymOw."
Holmes went to a neighboring town
to settle a case with the selectmen, but
failed. and gave this report, character
izing the three town officials:
MIR. a. will do nothing wrong, if he
knows it; Mr.. B. will do nothing at
all, if he knows it; and Mr.. c. will do
nothing right, if he knows it"

SWAP MAN FOB BLANKETS.
Puget Sound Indians Make an I'm
msuaI Deal.

Puget Sound Indians Make an I'm
usual Deal.
To trade man for a roll of blankets
is a rather unusual proceeding, and
the trade in which he figured as the
man, is a ver-to-be-forgotten event
in the life of William Jarman, who is
sc years old and once was the king
Dodo'' of the Puget Sound Indians.
That was fifty years ago, and Blanket
Bill" as he is called to this day, ex
poets to reach the century mark in
years.
Blanket Bill" was a man-owars-
man on board a British frigate that
sailed into Puget Sound water great
many years ago. With q party of
other sailors he went ashore to trade
with the Indians. The party became
separated and with a yell the fire.
eating aborigines set upon the main
body of the Britishers. All reached the
boat but Jarman, who was captured
and taken to the interior by the IN
dams. He fully expected to be scalped
while the fagots burned about him,
but he made friends with the chief
and soon found himself elevated to a
high position among the tribes. Before
him every one bowed.
After several years Hudson Bay
traders heard that a white man was
held in captivity among the Indians,
and, bartering with the red men, Sc
cured the British sailor upon the pay
ment of a roll of blankets.
But Jarman went back to live among
the Indians. He married a squaw.
BLANKET Bill'' attributes his long life
to a plunge in the sea every morning
and the avoidance of spirits Of all
kinds. A pipe is his only dissipation.
And he walks eleven miles into town
every little while just for exercise.

THE BoER's REFRIGERATOR.
How Provisions Are Preserved in the
High Plains of the TransvaaI.

How Provisions Are Preserved in the
High Plains of the TransvaaI.
The Beers who live on the high
veldt of the Transvaal have a simple
way of preserving perishable provi-
sions in the summer, says London Ice
and Cold Storage. On the high veldt
the weather during the day is extreme
ly warm, but once the sun sets 4 breeze
springs up and in about two hours
time the cold is intense. This is due
to the rarefied air.
When the sun has disappeared fol-
two hours or so the yr0uw brings out
her provisions and wraps each article
in a piece of thin sacking and hangs
it from the roof of the caves, which
run around the outside Of the building.
In the morning when the cattle in the
cattle kraals proclaim by their lowing
that it is time to rise she comes out
and takes the bags in. The butter, if
butter is one of the articles, is so hard
that you could not spread it the meat,
If it is bucks head, has much the
same texture and appearance as bucks
meat that has been transformed into
biltOng by being dried in the sun,
though it differs from this in that it
can of course be cooked, which biltOng
cannot, and still retains the greater
part of its juice; the beef or mutton is
frozen.
The bags are taken inside and
placed on that side of the house which
is against the sun" When the sun
veers around to this side of the house
they will be transferred to the other
side. Travellers who call at one of
these farms on some summer day,
when the sun is blazing down, and
there is not a breath of air, marvel
how the people keep their provisions,
shut off as they are from all helpful
adjuncts. If they express their sur
prise to the vrOuw she takes them to
the front of the house and graVely
points out the large hooks, which she
will later on in the day call into use
again.

Money from a Waste PIE.

The people of Chicago are lucky,
says VIM. Hard in the Technical World
Magazine. Witness the rock heap which
was bequeathed to them by the CON
tractors who dug the Chicago Drainage
Canal. But what could be a harder
stroke of bad luck than to be encum~
bered with a heterogeneous scrap pile
Of some fifty million cubic yards OF
dirt and stone? HOW to rid themselves
of this monster incubus without depict
ing the city treasury, would be a ques-
ton for the citizens to decide at any
other time. But this is just the point
where luck came to the rescue.
The people Of Chicago are lucky be-
cause they dug their big ditch at the
psychological moment Just as the
concrete age is being ushered in, and
building contractors have visions Of
mountains of crushed stone and rivers
Of cement, the people OF Chicago drop
onto the market with tWenty-three mill
lion cubic yards Of available rock. But
even millions of cubic yards of rock
could not break the Chicago faith in
concrete and the big contractor, John
M. Even, jumped under the market
with the highest bid for Chicago's
backyard scrap pile. At the present
price of crushed stone in Chicago, the
waste heap will sell for as much as it
cost to dig the whole Drainage Canal.

The trouble with Harrison.

The late Senator NJ. S. Quay, of
Pennsylvania, was bitterly opposed to
the denomination Of President Harrison.
Quay maintained that Harrison could
not be reelected, and the result showed
the correctness Of the judgment.
During the convention at Minneap-
oils, when Quay was trying to name
anybody but Harrison, one of Harri-
sons friends went to Quay and said :
Senator, why is it you dislike Presi-
dent Harrison so thOroughly?"
well" Quay replied, lone reason
is this: Harrison never does exactly
what you want him to do. He always
puts some embarrassing trimmings on.
Should you ask him to lend you five
dollars, he would not do that. Instead
he would hand you S4.75 or S5.25.''-

A New Sleeping Car story.

Among the railroad visitors in town
recently, says the Cleveland Leader.
was E. A. Miller, general passenger
agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul Railway. He visited all of the
general offices in town and at the HOl-
Ienden Hotel told story of one of the
sleeping car porters who was recently
found asleep while on duty. This is
contrary to the rules of The st. Paul
Road, and the negro man was in trouble
when found by the inspector on The
Pioneer Limited. He had his wits
about him, however, and in response to
the inspectors inquiry as to what he
was doing asleep he said:
"I'll tell you how it was, boss. I
have only been with the company
short time and before coming here I
was working on such and such a rail
road. The line was so rough that
could not get any sleep. Since have
been working for The st. Paul the road
has been SO smooth that | just could
not keep awake"
Mr.. Miller says that while the negro
had violated the rules, he was permit
ted to keep his job on account Of his

THE INDIANS REPROOF.


Istachus, or Stickas, was one Of the
notable Indians we'll known to the early
settlers of Oregon. He lived where his
ancestors had lived for more genera
tions than Indian genealogy could
trace. AS the country became settled,
SAYS the author of Pioneer Days Of
Oregon History" several white families
occupied land near him, and he was a
great favorite with them. He lived for
many years as 4 Christian, in precept
and example, among difficulties that
would have discouraged many man
with better opportunities.
During the SOS, when Istachus made
his home on the Umatilla, the emigrants
received much aid from him. The
Umatilla is no mere summer ripple
when the storms have drenched the
mountain ranges and warm rains melt
the lingering SHOWS into raging floods.
Stickas was always ready to enter the
torrent on his well-brOken horse, that
had been trained to stem the floods.
One day a company of emigrants was
CIOSSlDS Will lis NOA1nlCClCO etooAob-
ance. Among them was a woman who
had become terrified at the surging
waters. 1t is characteristic Of Indians
that they seldom use their English, so
Stickas, although he was fairly versed
in that tongue, did his talk by panto-
mime and broken words very scarcely
used. He signed for this woman to
mount behind him, and she did so.
When they came into swift water his
passenger shriezed and screamed as if
she were surely lost. Stickas tried the
golden influence of silence a while, but
when thoroughly worn out by her need
less ordinations, turned a scornful
look upon her, and exclaimed in perfect
English:
wicked woman, put your trust in
God!"
She was astonished to receive such a
rebuke from the lips Of one she sup
posed an untutOred savage. She
stopped screaming, and made the rest
Of the trip with entire confidence both
in her Cod and the ferryman.

der their treatment the disease spread
to four different parts If his body. The

CARE OF ARTIFICIAL HAIR.
Directions for Keeping Heavy Switch
in Good Order.

Directions fOr keeping 1CaVy SWITCH
in Good Order.
All authorities on false hair seem to
agree that while a heavy switch should
be shampOoed regularly and thoroughly
the little curls and puffs so much worn
at the present time do not need the
same treatment. The dust can be east
" brushed out of these small pieces
and they do not come into so close con-
tact with the natural hair as switch,
which is generally twisted in with the
wearer's own hair.
While there is normally no oil in the
artificial hair, still it absOrbs a certain
amount of oil from contact with the
natural hair and for this reason needs
washing. This should not be done fire.
quently. In most cases one shampoo
in two months is quite sufficient to
keep a heavy switch in good condition.
The directions for washing false hair
are almost exactly the reverse of those
prescribed for the shampooing Of nat
ural hair. The same soap may be used
or whatever shampoo mixture is pre-
ferred, but this should not be rubbed
directly on the hair.
Instead the switch should be plunged
into a bowl full of soapsuds. After
being thoroughly washed it must be
carefully rinsed in many waters, some
hairdressers insisting that eight rinsing
waters are none too many to insure
the thorough disappearance of the
soap.
While natural hair should be dried
in the bright sunshine whenever posi-
BILE, this practice should be carefully
avoided with artificial hair, as strong
sunlight tends to fade it. The best
method of drying a switch is to hang
it at night in an open window in a
strong breeze.
By morning it should be perfectly
dry and the breeze has a tendency to
make it light and fluffy. 1t may then
