1T pays sometimes to have the right
kind of a lawyer" remarked W. Il.
Purdy, welI-known mining man of
the northeast. Il was a witness in a
:ase a few weeks ago in Seattle in
which colored man was seeking DAM
ges for permanent injuries sustained
p an accident to an elevator which h.
was running The plaintiff claimed
THAT he had been manned for life, by
being permanently deprived of the free
use of his right arm. Although the
accident had happened months before.
his arm was still crippled and he was
unable to raise 1t above his waist. He
explained all this with much feeling
and earnestness during his direct ex-
animation Then the attorney for the
owner of the building took him in hand.
Show US how high you can raise
Jour ARM said the attorney.
And the plaintiff feebly raised his
arm few inches.
"'Now show US how high you could
raise your arm before you were in
jured,' pursued the attorney.
And the plaintiff unhesitatingly and
unthinkingly raised the crippled arm
high above his head, thus knocking his
damage claim skyward with one elo-
quent gesture. San Francisco Chron-

The early muffs were small and
made of satin or velvet, lined with fur.
The leopard skin came in with Queen
Anne. There is print of an Eliza
bethan lady with a small muff hanging
from her girdle. Before this date it
was probably looked upon as an eccen-
tric novelty, at least in England. A full
century before a Venetian grand dame
had carried her lapdog in her muff, a
fashion that continued for a long sea-
son and found its way into France. In
Paris muffs for this express purpose,
chiens manchons. as they were styled.
could be bought in 1862 at the estab-
lishment of the Demoiselles Guerin,
rue de Bac. French sumptuary laws
condescended to notice such minor de-
tails as the color of muff. The bour-
geois was obliged to restrict himself
to somber black. The noble might
please himself Under Louis XIV.
therefore, the manchon of the courtier
was brilliant with gold lace and en-
broidered ribbons.

Meals Furnished for Occasions In

Light and heavy housekeeping as
practiced in up-to-date churches is >
revelation to the people who see it fol
the first time. The country visitor Is
apt to be shocked or delighted, accord

tive folk, including missionaries, rural
pastors, and laymen, come to censurs
and remain to digest.
Why shouldn't a church have 6
kitchen?
What could be more practical? it Il:

and gymnasiums in churches nowadays
and people say it is quite proper te
have a well-furnished kitchen capable
of supplying after meeting refresh
merits and the solid meals of rarer &C

If there Is one mistake more likely
to be made than another by the novice
in poultry raising it is the tendency to
keep several breeds. The expert can do
this with more or less profit because
he understands how to keep them sep
arated or, If he wishes to cross them,
understands This as well. The novice,
on the other hand, is too often inclined
to experiment. He thinks the crossing
Of two certain breeds ought to give him
the finest fowl on earth and keeps at
il until the blood is pretty well mixed
and finds, to his dismay that the cross
is not so good as the poorest Of the
clean breeds. Again he tries Rocks one
year and thea becomes enamored Of tho
Wyandottes and gets few; the next
year the Leghorn appeals to him, and
sc on until lie has the time of his life
keeping thei1 separated or, as iii the
first case, becomes involved in a hope
less mixture. Look well into the sub
ject and ascertain as nearly as posi-
bic which breed meets the require
ments, then get that breed and stick to
1T through thick and thin until you
prove it valuable or worthless.

A Russian timber dealer has discov-
cred valuable mine of oak. 1t exists
in a river in south Russia and has lay
ers three or four feet deep scattered
over 80 square miles. It's most strik-
ing feature is its variety of colors, sup
posed to be due to the variegated soil of
the river bottom. No fewer than
twelve shades of pink, blue, yellow and
brown have been noted, each log hav-
ing its own uniform shade. The logs
taken out have ranged from forty 10
200 feet in length and from fifteen TO

Birds often practice the art of graft
ing. The mistletoe, living as para
site upon the branches of large trees,
has clusters of small white berries
which contain the seed. They are
transferred from branch to branch by
adhering to the bill; the bird pecks into
the bark to remove the seed, which
thus becomes engrafted into the tree.
