Dog Remembered His Errand

day IN his way home the dog met an
old enemy; the two engaged in a fight
and the newspaper came to grief.

LINCOLN'S WIT.

april Century.

Wit and ridicule were Lincolns
weapons Of offense and defense. and
he probably laughed more jury cls ei
out of court than any other man wh1
practiced at the bar.
II once heard Lincoln defend a man
in Bloomington against charge of
passing counterfeit money" Vice-Presi-
dent Stevenson told the writer. There
WAS n pretty clear case AGAINST the ac-
cuscd but when the chief witness for
the people took the stand he stated that
his name was J. Parker Green, and Lin
coin reverted to this the moment he
rose to crOss-eXamine. why J. Parker
Green? What did the J. stand for ?
John? Well, why didn't the witne S
call himself John p. Green? That was
his name, wasn't it? Well. what was
by his right name? Did J. Parker Green
have anything to conceal. and if not,
why did j. Parker Green part his name
in that way?' And so on. OF course.
the whole examination was farcical."
Mr.. Stevenson continued, but there
was something irresistibly funny in the
varying tones and infections of Mr..
Lincoln's voice as he rang the changes
upon the mans name; and at the recess
the very boys in the street took ii up
as a slogan and shouted j. Parker
Green!' all over the town. Moreover,
there was something in Lincoln's way
of intoning his questions which made
me suspicious of the witness. and to
this day l have never been able to rid
my mind of the absurd impression that
there was something not quite right
about ]. Parker Green. 1t was all nom

A Novel snaIse-Bite Cure.

It has lately been discovered that
the serum with which those bitten are
treated should vary according to the
kind of snake. But this, though ad-
vantageous TO know in theory, is of
small practical use, since the traveller
cannot be sure of having exactly the
right serum with him at the moment
of the fatal bite. 1t has lately been
reported that an almost certain cure
for snake-bite is the injection of Z
small portion of the bile of the reptile
which has attacked anyone, and
which-the snake being generally kill
ed on the spots naturally at hand.
The gall-bfadder is extracted, its con-
tents filtered, and the fluid injected
under the skin. The experiments made
have given the best results, those re-
covering from the poisonous bite of a
South American snake coming off with
nothing worse than an abscess at the
point of penetration of the serpenta

THE sAuLT ST. MARIE LOCKS.


In strongly approving of the Lock
Canal, the Engineering News says that
the foreign engineers who voted for q
sea-level canal failed to properly ac-
quaint themselves with the practical
history of the great locks on the SaTlt
st. Marie. The Engineering News says:
Now no one, not even the sea-level
advocates. Will seriously claim that a
lock canal is not a thoroughly salts
factory means for navigation. A canal
lock is not exactly a new invention,
since it dates back. if memory rightly
serves, TO Leonardo da Vinci G452-

That lock is 500 feet long. 100 feet
wide and % feet deep over the miter
sills. The locks at Panama are to be
900 feet long. - feet wide. with a
depth of 40 feet over the miter sills
and lift of 80 feet as a maximum.
The Poe lock at the Sault has been
in use for 10 years. and during that
time has handled volume of traffic
in excess OF the total traffic through all
the four great ship canals of Europe.
Further, the great ore carriers that
now regularly pass through the Poe
locks are much larger than the average
ocean cargo steamers, and it cannot be
shown that the existence of this lock
has in any way hindered the growth
in the size of vessels on the Great
Lakes. In other words, the theory of
the sea-level advocates to the effect
that While lock canal is all right for
vessels it is a grave dan
ger to the largest class of vessels. is
thoroughly disproyed by the size of the
vessels which are regularly using the
lock at the Sault"

in his success. He possessed another
quality however, which is almost, if
not quite. as essential in jury work, and
that is clearness and simplicity of state

and he interpreted them in such simple
