seven cases TO the Circuit court,
to be tried nexr week.
An examination OF Magistrate
Csskey's books will show that
fully three fourths of the crimi-
nal cases brought before him
were compromised-seltled out
OF court, The prosecutions being
withdrawn upons the payment
OF costs, etc, by the defendants

business going on. II a party is
guilty OF any crime he should
be tried, convicted and punished

There is another pernicious
practice which should be stop

of some kind Of criminal pro
ceedings for no other purpose
than to force the party charged
to pay a civil obligation. This
practice is at best Tut an lids

CONGRESS of Bootblacks,

! A German magazine, the Sud
deutschen Monatsheften, has just
printed delightful special account"
OF the meeting of the first information
al congress of bootblacks, which it
gravely represents as having occurred
IN Paris on the 14th and 18th of June,
with delegates from all over the world.
We have not space to reproduce the
speech Of the minister Of public
works, who opened the congress, in
place Of the suddenly indisposed presi-
dent of France, beyond reporting that
he described the modern boot as the
basis upon which all civilized peoples
took their stand. He was followed by
M. Grenier of Paris, who, in a speech
lasting only three hours, laid down the
demands which the bootblack fraterni-
ty Is prepared to make to the nations of
the world, and for which he asked the
approval Of the congress. They are
as follows: ID Going barefoot in rent
ed apartments and in rooms not Who'll
ly enclosed must be vigorously forbid
den; (2) wooden shoes are to be per-
mitted between the hours of seven a.
m. to seven p. m. only in cities of s.
600 or more inhabitants; 90 walking
about in very dirty shoes in larger
cities is forbidden under very heavy
penalties, and (4) household servants
are forbidden to clean shoes under
any circumstances, this work being
restricted to regularly examined pub
lie bootblacks.

CANDLES ON DINING TABLE.

Must Be Properly Arranged to Get
the Best Effects.
Candle-lighted dining tables are
more popular than ever. Four can
dies are needed to light the smallest
table, and four double-branched can
dlesticks are liked better. Besides
silver and brass, glass candlesticks, in
old English and colonial designs, are
see Cut glass is to be preferred, of
course, but good limitations are made.
1t is hard to understand how wrought
iron ever came to be used for either
lamps or candlesticks. Possessing no
powers of reflection or refraction, the
light of even a strong flame is dimin-
ished at least one-half, and most de-
pressing effect obtained. Candle
shades are works of art, whether
made of silk and trimmed with chiffon
and beads, or fashioned of paper and
decorated with water color designs.
Glass shades, cubes of opalescent ma
terial. jewels encrusted, are charming,
as also are the parchment paper ones
with old prints in delicate pink and
blue tints, inserted on one side Can
die shades always should be arranged
to hide the flame, as the glare so near
the eyes is unpleasant

NoURIsHMENT IN ICE CREAM.
Properly Made, 1t Is Ideal Food for
Hot Weather.

AS the summer months call for
change in diet, the home mistress is
often at loss to supply her table with
food that will be wholesome, yet
within the reach of a slender purse
The idea that ice cream is only a
luxury should be dismissed as soon as
possible from the mind of the caterer
Made of boiled custard, it contains
the best possible material for health
and strength. Sugar, milk and eggs
all excellent for the human body. This
with the cold to help protect from in
tense heat, makes ice cream an ideal
food in hot weather But it must not
be concluded that all frozen creams
are good; too often the commodities
sold under various enticing names are
anything but creams; gelatin, con-
densed milk, not the best; flour, the
f1avors made of harmful chemicals,
are set forth in attractive guise and
in time ruin the digestion, producing
illness not to be otherwise explained
