SEALING WAX vs.. STRING.

The old familiar string tied around

stick OF red sealing wax into small
gas flame near by, clapped It on the
bag, effectually sealing It.
Its all done In second, you see"
he said. Just touch the stick to
your package and shove It across the
counter-no bother with cropping for

in tying up the bundle, while other
customers are standing around look

cheap as string, too. and It makes q

A number Of tom-foolery railroad
laws have been enacted by different
state legislatures this winter. The
Nebraska legislature was especially
active in passing this class Of laws,
and the railroads have retaliated BY
increasing their rates on eastbonnd
gram and gram products. Il is al
right to control railroads and other
corporations, but it is all wrong to
pass laws that are unjust in their
operations against these corpora
tions. The trouble with the Amer
lean people is that they seem to &c
too far when they start ont to enact
reform legislation of any kind. In
stead of endeavorlng to strike
happy medium, they go to the very
extreme IN passing reform measures
which often prove to be SO obnox
rous to the people that tho laws ar
repealed at the earliest opportunity

A LAWYER Should Know Much.

IAN attorney Is likely to find every
kind of knowledge of use to him In
his practice" said Kansas City law
yer. IAN illustration Of this Is afford
ed in a very extraordinary criminal
case that was entirely decided by the
knowledge of nautical affairs which
the lawyer for the defence had picked
up while making a sea voyage.
1.-TWO sailors were on trial for the
murder of the captain Of the ship.
The only witness against them was
the mate, but his testimony seemed
conclusive. The mate testified. that
the captain was in his cabin when the
two sailors murdered him. At that
time there was great confusion upon
the ship which was in much peril so
that it required all the attention OF
the other sailors to keep her from 60
ing upon a rock"
John Adolphus, an eminent Eng
lish advocate. represented the TWO
sailors who were upon trial. He ask
ed so many questions as to the num-
Der of the crew. where each man was
and what engaged in doing that al
last the judge, thinking that the time
of the court was being wasted, rebuk-
ed him mildly. After the mate had
accounted for every man on board
Mr.. Adolphus fixed his eye steadily
upon and said in a calm, yet In q
searching and loud voice:
Then, who was at the heinz
The mate was so taken aback thai
ne could not answer. He turned pale
and dropped in a tit. Upon coming to
himself he confessed himself the
murderer. In his false testimony ne
had given to each man his position
upon the ship and had forgotten the
most material place, or rather, had
left none to fill It.
1T was his knowledge of shit
that enabled the lawyer to catch the
false witness In that case and save the
lives of two Innocent men"

AUTHORS HANDWRITING.
Jules Janin. Would Rather Rewrite
Than Read His Manuscript.

Charlotte Bronte's handwriting
seemed to have been traced with q
needle, and the penmanship Of Bry-
ant was aggressive, we'll formed and
decidedly pleasing to the eye,
Thackeray's writing was marveio'lsly
neat and precise. but 1t was so small
that microscopic eyes were needed to
read It, Longfellow wrote bold. open
backhand which was the delight OF
printers.
The handwriting of Captain Mar
ryat was so microscopic that when he
rested from his labors he was obliged
to mark the place where he left of
by sticking pin in the paper. Ma
poleon's handwriting was worse than
illegible. 1t Is said that his letters
from Germany to the Empress Jose
phine were at first taken for rough
maps of the seat Of war.
Much Of Carlyle's temperament may
be read In his handwriting. He wrote
patient. grabbed, oddly emphasized
hand. The chirography Of Walter
Scott. Leigh Hunt, Moore and Gray
was easy to read and ran smoothly.
1t was not expressive Of any especial
individuality. however. The writing OF
Dickens was minute. and the author 8
habit OF writing with blue ink upon
blue paper with frequent erasures and
interlineat tiOns. made his copy bur-
den to his publishers. Byron's hand
writing was a mere scrawl. His ad-
dtions In his proofs often exceeded In
volume the original copy. To one OF
his poems which contained only 400
lines in the original 1000 lines were
added in the proofs.
One day a distressed compositor
appeared at the house Of Jules Janin
and besought him to decipher some
pages Of his own manuscript. Janin
replied that he would rather rewrite
than attempt to read over what he
had once written.
Few printers could read the copy OF
Balzac, and those who could invaria-
bly, made a strict agreement with
their employer that they would be re-
quired to work at it only one hour at
time. Even after the hieroglyphics
had been translated into print the
proof sheets came back more illegible
! than the original copy.

time. and when 1t put away from the
ship the feyerish newspaper men on
the shore followed its course up the
river to the French town bund, where
the refugee Russian cruiser Askold
was lying. q The launch was hoisted
up on the Askold's davits.
Hardly had the ponderous and
slow moving press of the cosmopoli-
tan city got out its morning editions
the next day when hurried telegram
from Woosung. at the mouth Of the
river. conveyed the news that the Ce-
ellie had just steamed out Of the har-
Dor and that she had been painted a
war gray over night. That capped
the frenzy. Shanghai told the world
that the Cecilie had become a full
fledged dispatch boat for the Rus
slams.
The Chir~ sea swallowed up Baron
Won Krieglstein and his flying dutch
man. Not a word more was heard of
the Cecilie.
The Russian fleet came up the coast
and made it's fatal dash into the Tsu-
shima strait. The fleeing remnants OF
the beaten Russians limped into
Shanghai. Kreiglstein was forgotten
I'm the rush of big events.
It was just about month after the
battle of the Japan sea that word
came to Toxic that the Cecilie, with
the baron aboard. had piled upon the
rocks of Khorsakoff. A Japanese
cruiser was sent upon the earnest
representations of the German minis
ter at Toxic. to rescue the ship
wrecked correspondent.
The cruiser put In at dreary lit
tie bay on the west coast Of Saghal-
len and found the captain and all the
crew Of the sCecilie with the exception
Of two sailors who had been drowned
in the wreck, waiting relief there.
But Won Krieglstein was not one of
the refugees.
He had determined to get to the
lines of Gen. Linevitch, up back of
Harbin. so the Cecilie's captain told
the japanese. and with this objective
he had crossed the narrow straits to
Nikolaiersk at the mouth Of the Amur
river In a frail boat, intending to
work his way up the river the thou
sand or SO miles separating him from
Linevitch's army.
The captain told the Japanese that
when the Cecilie left Shanghai the
last time she had steamed south In
the hope Of finding the Russian fleet.
then supposed to be somewhere In
the vicinity OF the Island of Formosa.
But the dauntless Won Krieglstein
had made the mistake Of awaiting
Rojestvensky on the west side of For
mosa instead Of In the eastern chan
mel between that island and the Phil
ippines. So the fleet slipped by him
and was destroyed.
When asked why Won Krieglstein
had set his course for Saghalien SUBJ
sequently the captain told the Japan
ese that the baron had made up his
mind to go to Siberia to hunt bears.
About two months after the rescue
of the Cecilie's crew word came to the
Japanese papers in Toxic that Baron
Won Krieglstein had shot himself with
a rife while he was cleaning 1t in q
camp he had made overnight on the
Amur river. Whether the baron had
shot himself by accident or design
was never known. His body was bur-
led by the native guides he had en-
gagged to lead him to Linevitch's
camp on the bank Of the Siberian riv-
er 500 miles away from Harbin and
the Russian army.
