Animals Tried In Court.

Down to a comparatively late Pc
riod in continental Europe the low.
er animals were considered amena-
bic to the laws. Domestic animals
were tried in the common criminal
courts. Wild animals fell under &C.
clesiastical jurisdiction. French an
tiquaries have discovered the rec
ords of ninety-two processes against
animals, conducted with the strict
est formalities of justice, from 1l20
to 1740, when the last trial and ex-
ecution, that of a cow, took place.
Thus there was lawsuit that lasted
from 1445 to 1887 between the in
habitants of st. Julian and a kind
of beetle, and at Lavigny in 145Na
SOW and her six young ones were
tried on a charge of having murder
ed and partly eaten child. The
SOW was found guilty and condemn
ed to death, but the little pigs were
acquitted on account of their youth,
the bad example of their mother
and the absence of direct proof
against then.

THE SABLE ANTELCrE.
A Beautiful Creature, Powerful, Grace.
fu! ard G'osay.

Of the many beautiful antelopes
which abound in Central and South
Africa two Species the larger koo-
doc and the sable, must be awarded
the first places. Of these the for
mer is veritable king Of the for
est. The exquisite symmetry of
the long, curving horns, their spiral
twist, their noble spread and strik-
ing poise on a we'll shaped head,
which seems almost too small to
carry such a glorious ornament, 60
to make picture which is matched
by few other denizens of the forest.
The sable makes a good second.
Long, massive, ringed horns, FORM
ing, in a good specimen, nearly a
perfect semicircle, rise almost ver-
tically and close together from
narrow forehead. Bending back
ward in bold sweep, they lose their
rings near the tip and taper grace
fully outward, to end in shiny black
points. Add to this a powerful,
elegant body, narrow shoulders and
graceful limbs, a glossy black hide
shot with russell gold, brilliant
white patches below the eyes and
an under body of the same color, a
short black name, and the portrait
is complete. Seen at close quarters
in his native haunts, he makes pic
ture few will forget.
His natural habitat becomes year
BY year more restricted. but with
sensible game laws let US hope the
day of his final extinction is still
far distant. At one time plentiful
in South Africa, his gradual extinc-
ton there has been brought about
by the rinderpest, and still more so
by the wantcn destruction Of ami
NAL life characteristic of the Dutch
and the early pioneers. At the
present time. except in some parts
of Mashonaland, the Kalahari and
the Portuguese territory, he exists
only in herds north of the zambezi,
where the Dutch are not and where
the South African of destructive
tendency has no inducements to 90.
Here again the distribution OF
the sable is peculiar. His first
cousin, the roam, swarms over Por-
tuguese Zambezia and northeastern
Rhodesia. The sable, except in a
few localities, is comparatively
scarce, while in British Central Al
rica, the adjoining country sep
arated from the others by no dis
tinctive change in scenery or eli
mate, it is exactly the contrary
the sable is common. the roam
scarce in comparison.-G. A. Park
Ross in Macmillan's Magazine.

The Slip by Which Rich Gold Mine
Was Discovered.

One Of the most productive mines
in California was discovered through
ar accidental fall of the discoverer.
He was one of a hunting party that
had gone out from San Francisco
during the Christmas holidays.
While passing along the side of
steep hill on a narrow trail his shorSe
suddenly slipped and with his rider
went down into the gulch.
Happening to be the last in the
line and some distance behind the
others, he was not missed for some
moments, but when his absence was
noticed the party turned back to
look for him, fearing some unto
ward accident. He was nowhere to
be seen, but the place where his
horse had slipped and fallen over
the bank, together with the traces
of the fall, was plainly visible. Fol
lowing the tracks made by the fall
ing horse and man, and when near
the bottom, the men suddenly came
upon an interesting spectacle. just
behind clump of bushes which the
man and his steed had crashed
through on their way down stood
the horse, apparently uninjured,
while near by, on a slab of rock
projecting from the snow, the man
was capering like an Indian at a
ghost dance.
The first impression of the rescu-
ing party was that the man had gone
suddenly crazy, but as he caught
sight of them he suddenly ceased
his gyrations and shouted for them
to approach. They came, when he
showed them several Jumps of al
most pure gold he . had hastily
Knocked from the edge with stone
for Q hammer and announced his
discovery of a gold mine. The slid
ing horse had brought up against
the ledge, and the restive animal,
kicking vigorously in the efforts to
rise, had struck off the moss from
the stone and disclosed the fact that
it was gold bearing ledge Of un-
usual richness. The find was ap-
propriately named "The Christmas
Gift" and a valuable gift it proved

Americans Growing Bigger.

A tailor whose firm has been
continuously in business in Phila-
delphia for over century has COM
piled from his books of measure
ment some statistics that discount
the statements of the pessimists.
These statistics show that the
American in the past century has
grown taller, stronger and simmer
greater in height and in chest
girth, less in the girth Of waist and
hips. The average chest Of 17s5
was Sc inches. 1t is 3S inches now.
The average height was 5 feet z
inches. 1t is now 5 feet s11s inches.
The length of leg has increased in
the same proportion. The shoul-
ders and chest have greatly 'devel-
oped. The waist, on the other
hand, has lost two inches.

The Brousham.

What is the correct way to pro-
nounce the name of that vehicle,
the "brougham?" Up in Scotland,
where the original Lord Brougham
came from, the name was pro-
nounced "Broocham" with the
900" as in "book" and the och" as
in sloch') and also "Broofam" and
"Brooham" 600" little longer).
In London society mace it 'Broo-
am" or Broom" 600" as long as
one pleases), and the vehicle was
"broom." Elderly people still say
"broom," says the dictionary, and
a few make it 'broo-am," but "bro-
am" is commonly preferred by the
educated among the younger gen.
Grafton. The one really vulgar pro-
nunciation is "brome."

The late Judge Pettengill Of the
Maiden district court concealed m-

him so quickly as an unintentional
witticism, especially if it were at

on probation.

The Riva! Hairdressers.

One of two hairdressers by way
of advertising himself cuts his hair
in the most faultless manDer, ac-
cording to the latest fashion plate.
The other, on the contrary, cuts his
in the most clumsy way imaginable.
The first customer who entered his
shop did not fail to take him to task
about it. ''How in the world, being
yourself a barber, do you have your
hair so badly cut:'
"Why, sir, the reason is simple
enough. l cannot possibly cut my
hair myself, but am obliged to have
recourse to my colleague over the
way, and he is such a duffer!"
"And I suppose you cut his in
turn?"
"Of course. And you can judge
for yourself whether he oughtn't to
be satisfed."-Rome Journal.

If the reports sent out by the
Associated Press be true the con-
duct of the Second South Caro-
lima regiment at jamestown on the
evening of July 4 was little short
of disgraceful. 1t has been denied
that the South Carolina soldiers
we're the guilty parties, but the
matter should be thoroughly in
vestigated and if they are guilty,
then Governor Ansel should fol-
low President Roosevelt's precedent
with regard to the negro battal"
ion that shot up the town Of
Brownsville, Texas. We are not
an position to get at the facts
IN the case, but from our own
observation the. behavior of some
of the returning troops in transit
the following day would bear out
any charge made against them for
desorderly and riotous behavior.
