The Reading Herald, - an enterpnsing newspaper published
in the Pennsylvania city of that name, has this line running
in large type clear across the top of its first page:
"A good, square lawyer is a very useful parsonage. But
a rapacious lawyer is an afaicion and a menace"
There is no diagram, or map to give one a clue to the
provocation or the purpose. Can it be that Reading is cursed
by rapacious lawyers? In this part of the country we don
know anything about that variety of legal gentlemen. New
Jersey lawyers are, without exception, the most modest, moder-
ate and upright men in the community. They live solely for
the benefit of the rest of mankind, and nothing delights them
more than to find a client who is poor and frendless.

Howard Gould has dragged Buffalo Bills name into his
divorce suit and his counsel describe her as an adventures.
Mrs. Gould was formerly Katherine Clernmons and her relations
with Buffalo Bill were perfectly we'll known to Gould before
he married her. To plead ignorance and innocence now won't
help him any. He is entitled to no sympathy whatever and
ought to be ashamed to air his domestic nastness in court,
thus bringing pain and humiliation to decent members of his
family. If our laws were framed and designed to !" make the
punishment fit the crime, Gould and his wife would be con-
fined for the rest of their days on an island with no other
human beings near them. In that case it wouldn't be very
long before the woman would be signalling for help to bury the
man.

Au ITO TANK SHOCKS JURY.
Battered Part OF Machine Logged Into
Court in Collier Trial-Not Ad-
MISSILE as Evidence

kENOSIIA, Wis, March 80 Spc.
cjal WHEN a badly battered automo.
bile tank was brought into court this
morning in the Ted Collier mauslaughtcr
case the jury gaspcd. Witnesses for the
state had just been telling about the
tank on the machine Collier drove on the
night when he is alleged to have rum
down and killed William Drcycr They
had spoken of the dents the compact
had made in the tank.
But the attorney for the state made mo-
statement to indicate that the tank
shown was from the Collier machine
And, furthermore, the court would not
admit it in evidence and ii was logged
out.
Frank johnson added strength To the
states case when he testified that on
the night of the fatality Collier had
shouted: I'VE hit a man.
The court ruled that evidence of an
alleged pact among the occupants of the
Collier machine to keep the events of the
night in question secret would not b,
admitted.
The broken glass clue was destroyed
when l.. :. Wmnogar, n states witness
testified the pieces of glass found i'm the
road were from a ninc-iuch lens, while
that on the Collier car measured eleven
inches.

OLDEST TREE IN AUSTRALIA.
In Time of DrOuth the Cattle Feed
Upon the Wood.

The vegetation of Australia is differ
ent from that Of any other country.
The various species number about 49,
600, which is far greater number than
is to be found in Europe. A popularity
of the trees found growing near the
coast is the vertical direction Of the
foliage, which allows the sunlight to
pass easily through the leaves. Many
curious trees are found, but none is
more remarkable than the bottle tree,
or baobab. The popularity of the tree
is found in its abnormal trunk, which,
as compared with other forest trees, Is
out of all proportion to its branches
Sometimes the trunk is nearly spheri-
cal, resembling a huge inverted turnip
The peculiar nature of It's spongy
soft wood is responsible for this re
juvenescence. The tissues contain large
quantities OF moisture in the form of
mucilage. Indeed in time Of drouth
the trees are often felled and the wood
broken up into small pieces. This the
cattle devour with great relish. The
fruit takes the form of a thn-shelled
gourdike capsule covered with a thin
green velvety pile. In fine examples
they are equal in size to small cocoa.
nuts When ripe they contain a flour
like powder having a peculiar acid
flavor not unlike cream of tartar. The
fruit remains attached TO the branches
for q considerable time after the leaves

have fallen. The flower which precedes
the fruit is white, somewhat like those
OF the eucalyptus, its center being filled
with a sheaf of slender white stamens.
The African baobab has the REGULARITY
of hanging its fruit from the branches
by means of long cordlike stems some
times from foot and a half to two
feet in length. In common with the
dragon trees of Teneriffe, the baobabs
are regarded as the sowest growing
trees and the longest lived members of
the vegetable world.
This dragon tree of Tencriffe was one
OF the wonders Of the vegetable king.
dom. 1t stood near the town of Ora
taya, on the island of Tenerlffe, and
many travellers examined and measured
it. Meyen found it to be seventy-fye
feet high and forty eight in girth. Just
above the ground 1t was seyenty-n!ne
leet In circumference. Humboldt found
1t and when he measured It discovered
that it had not changed In size since
the days of the French adventurers, the
Bethencourts who seized the island In
the fifteenth century, some four CEN
turtles before. The trunk was hollow
and n staircase had been erected inside
by which one could ascend to the height
at which the branches began This relic
of ages was unfortunately destroyed by
a hurricane in 1867.
