REFEREES PRoLoNG CASES.

LAWYERS who have been especially fortunate In
hei~r appointed referees in the hearing Of cases
which The courts are now unable to attend TO
pavs also used their influence against expedit-
ing justice Some Of these referees have been
known TO prolong cases for years which might
have been properly settled in few weeks. These
referees are paid by the day
An action was brought recently by the
brothers and sisters Of a citizen of Queens
County 10 obtain their share in the rentals Of
house in which he had been living for ten years.
The house was worth about $500, and was sit
mated in Far Rockaway. The first referee was
asked by the court 10 determine what the rentals
were The referee took TWO and a half years
10 come 10 a decision. and then he held that
tbe defendant had made so many Improvements
10 the house and the Iwo-acre plot which IL
stood that his expenditures Offset the claims
OF his brothers and sisters. The court Overthrew
this decision and gave the same task 10 a sec
ond referee, who after another period OF two
and half years Of delay. and when just about
10 come 10 a decision, died The Judge then
took up the case, and finished hearing all the
necessary evidence in Two hours Two weeks
later he handed down a decision.
Another class OF men who have blocked re-
forms intended 10 relieve the congestion Of the
courts is 10 be found among the commissioners
IN condemnation proceedings. These men are
doing work which IL Is 20 their advantage TO

by the day.
An Illustration Of the way some of these COM
Hlissioners delay their work is afforded by the
men who carried on condemnation proceedings
IN connection with q small piece OF property in

Visits Joaquin Miller

A WARMING.

4, truly it was a charming little picture
| of contentment, with the green foli-
age around and the flowers and the
kitten in the middle of it, dreaming
Dwell, it's hard to say what a kit
ten dreams of save milk and mice and
such things, but so long as it in
spires us with a sublime feeling of
reStfulneSS and content surely it is a
picture of peace. Then he called
'Kuge,' and a gentlemanly little Jap
anese came forward, to whom I was
presented as a gentleman and a poet,
with the information that Issio Kuge
was a poet also from the land of the
Chrysanthemum, who had lived here
for the past two years, and had taken
the little cottage formerly occupied by
Yone Noguchi, who had lived with
Joaquin seven years, and lately had
achieved fame as a poet in the Unit
ed States and abroad. You're fond of
the poets, Joaquin said I. Yes said
he musingly, I would not have people
close around me who were not poets
Following this he drove away with the
pleasant little sculptor, Miss Boyle.
whilst I accompanied Mr. huge
around through the garden and UP on
the hill, through the dense trees, to
a little enclosure wherein there were
ten graves, among them those of the
mother and daughter Of the poet.
THE situation truly is a beautiful
one, with a grand view of the fertile
valley of F'ruitvale, with the undulat-
ing hills around, dotted with little
groups of trees, the brave mountains
in the distance and the winding bay
in front, with vessels at anchor there
on Shouted clearly against the even
ing sky. All! yes. Peace was there,
and not alone with the kitten, but in
the sweet and tender face of Nature
herself, filling one with a deep venera-
ton for all that is beautiful and pure
and manly and generous, and my heart
went out to the sweetness and the
purity and I felt a better man for it,
And I'm to go there again when
feel like it, and stay for a month or
twoi"

politeness and obedience of a group
of educated elephants would be an ex-
ample to many children. However
hungry they never touch the most
tempting food until permission is Civ
en-, or until their turn comes. AS huge
as they are, they are very delicate and
require great care. When in good
health they can travel about forty
miles a day if allowed to go slowly,
but are liable TO drop dead if hurried
or over-worked. Baby elephants are
very playful and have many cunning
ways. Sometimes when an old one is
hurrying along at her work her baby
keeps UP by twisting it's trunk around
the mothers tail.
They are very easily trained to do
many useful and unusual things. One
little elephant which was owned by a
military doctor was even taught to
hand medicine to the patients in the
hospital. One day a Malay soldier
dropped a pill he was about to take.
He was SO weak he could not reach for
it and the little elephant, seeming to
understand the situation thoroughly,
picked up the pellet and dropped it in
the mans mouth with a puff strong
enough to blow it down his throat.
No one knows what becomes of ele-
plants that die a natural death in the
jungle, for it is extremely rare to find
one which has expired from ordinary
causes. Old travellers and hunters say
they have never seen a wild elephant
sick. When wounded they salve the
sore with wet mud. or else blow dry
dust over it to protect the surface from |
flies. The natives claim that in the !
deep forest there is a mysterious val |
ley which can only be reached by a |
narrow pass between high rock walls. |
Here there is a deep, quiet lake beside |
which all elephants desire to lie down |
and die in peace. When one of them |
is sorely wounded, or becomes weak |
from old age, he seeks to reach this |
happy valley. Although the natives |
feel sure of its existence, no one living |
has ever found this bourne from which |
no elephant returns.

WHERE ARE THE SPRINGS?

The ancient Greeks tell of a river of
the Peloponnesus called Alpheus, ris-
ing in Mt. Stymphalus, flowing
through Arcadia and Ellis, and then
making it's way beneath the Mediter-
ranean as far as Sicily, where it united
with the fountain Arethusa nes-r SYRIA
cuse. 1t was the love of a swain for a
nymph which led to this movement,
and this emotion seems to have been
able to prevent the commingling Of the
two kinds of water where ordinarily
mixture would result. What has
been narrated in fable seems to be true
today in the existence of boiling fresh
water springs rising up persistently in
the briny deep off certain shores in the
Hawaiian and West Indian islands and
lsewhere.-Popular Science Monthly.

than a crowd of men can do it. When
the pile reaches a certain height and
they are no longer able to lift the
heavy logs to the top, they will lean
two pieces slant-Wise against the heap,
then roll the remaining logs up this
incline and place them snugly on the

While the utility of the elephant is
wonderful on account of the skill and
earnestness he displays in his work
he is nevertheless too smart to be left
alone. 1t he is not bossed by the keep
er his natural love of ease asserts it
self and he wanders off to the shade
to browse and indulge in the luxury of
blowing dust over his back The
method of Furnishing such a powerful
animal for neglect of duty is a serious
question for the attendants. Instead
of using force il is considered better
to humiliate him, which is generally
done by stopping his allowance of
cane or by making him eat after his
companions. On these occasions the
look of miserable degradation in the
culprits eyes is SO plain that his con-
triton is unmistakable

a foOd-inspector was examining the
meat in a small butcher-shop on a
back street. The greater part of the
meat was fairly good, but there was
one lot of pork and beef that was
questionable. The butcher stood out

called him in. Look here he said,
What is your opinion of this meat
here?" The butcher looked it over. 81

The best breakfast food is EGG-O-

EGG-O-SEE is deeply in debt to the
thousands of wives and mothers who

women tell their neighbors about this
great food.
Children and aged persons alike are
friends of EGG-O-SEE. e
Merit and common sense are the
things that advertise EGG-O-SEE
most. EGG-O-SEE is cheap. A 10
cent package contains ten liberal
breakfasts. EGG-O-SEE is sold every

want to keep their good customers,
for good customers insist on buying
EGG-O-SEE. ,...-t
The fact that no preparation, no

LIKE EDGE OF THE WORLD
Unalaska, in the Alaskan Islands, 6
Desolate Spot-Where White
Men May Not Land.

Vnalaska resembles other northern
stations, having warehouses, docks,
the inevitable Greek church and a
score of wooden cabins. Whalers leave
here for the Arctic regions.
Dutch Harbor is a station for our
revenue fleet There is much coming
and going of ships of all nations;
there are quite a formidable fleet, and
only two ships out of twelve carry
colors of the same country. "
Just before entering the harbor one
notices a detached rock high against
the side of the cliff. 1t bears a strik-
ing resemblance to a Russian priest
in full robes. Touched by the sunset
light, he seemed to stand blessing the
harbor.
Sailing north out into Be!1ring sea
one looks back at the desolate, silent
treeless islands, which seem to wall
the edge of the world Hundreds Of
miles west they run toward Vladi-
vostok.
Two hundred and forty miles north
of Unalaska are the Pribilof islands;
not large, but the greatest seal islands
in the world. There are many full
seals around the shores of Behrine
sea and the Aleutian islands, but the
great mass of them are bred on the
