years it has been going gradually.
Soon it will be altogether thing Of
the past Fire insurance is the cause

They who want insurance must sub

remains very poor so that his house

An Example Of /. judicial Mind.


At dinner attended by a score Of
well known lawyers recently the phrase
judicial mind" was defined by illus
tration as follows: 81 have searched
far and wide for satisfactory defini
ton of the inevitable query raised when
judicial nominations are in sight," said
one of the lawyers. "On Mississippi
river steamboat some time ago l OBJ
tanned my only approximate answer.
A southern colonel who employed the
phrase yielded to my request for a
definition and explained that on GER
tain occasion legal light of Missis-
sippi was travelling in river steamer
when the boiler exploded AS the boat
was passing the penitentiary at the
time the force of the explosion deposit
ed the lawyer inside the walls of the
establishment from which he had saved
SO many criminals. Being uninjured,
as clever lawyer would be under the
circumstances, he applied to the ward
en- for release. The warden listened
to the circumstances as he narrated
them, but declined to release him, in
sisting that with the coming of prison
ers he. had no concern, but for their
departure he was responsible. He
therefore compelled the lawyer to wait
for pardon from the governor. That
is my notion of judicial mind. New

The Ball In Lawn Tennis.

1t is a curious fact that every book
written on lawn tennis cautions the
player to keep his eyes on the ball at
the moment of striking it. yet there are
very few expert players who do so.
A rifle shot looks at his target, a bowler
looks at the pins, and a billiard player
generally looks at the object ball, not
the cue ball. l have found it next to
impossible to carry in my mind, while
moving rapidly to play flying ball, the
exact height of the net, the direction of
the lines of my opponents court and
his position, so that it has become
second nature with me and with most
other players to look up in the direction
that the ball is to go before it actually
leaves the racket. 1t is principally be-
cause the reverse of this is necessary
in golf that lawn tennis players have
so much trouble in mastering the old
Scotch game From tennis habit they
take their eyes off the ball too soon for
golf success.-J. Parmly Paret in Coun-
try Life In America.

The Floor of the Pacific.

The red clay which covers the deep
floors of the Pacific and the Indian
oceans is made up of refuse and residue
that which can withstand the strong
chemical action of the gases. In it
may be found decomposed volcanic
rock, pumice, zeolitic crystals, man
ganese oxides, meteoric iron, teeth of
sharks and ear bones Of whales. Few
if any shore deposits are apparent in it.
The rock is vitreous refuse, belched
forth by subterranean or insular vol
canoes. The minerals are supposed to
be of cosmic origin-planetary dust and
meteoric fragments that have fallen
into the sea and have become disinte-
grated. The great quantity of sharks
teeth remains quite unaccounted for
at least their apparent gathering to-
gether in these ocean basins is consid-
cred very strange.-J. G. Van Dyke in

A Missing Five Franc Piece.

Fully half the grownup people Of
France believe the old story that Napo-
leon Bonaparte put check for 100000
francs in a silver five franc piece and
that the coin is yet in circulation. They
say that the people did not want the
five franc piece and that in order to
create demand for it Napoleon re-
sorted to the device mentioned The
check or treasury order, it is said, was
written upon asbestus paper and in
closed in the metal at the time the coin
was made. Thousands of five franc
pieces are annually broken open and
have been SO inspected since the story
of the check was first circulated.

LIE You
Are Sick

It is because some of
lthe organs of the body
hre not doing their work
well. There is a lack of
that nervous energy that
gives them motion. Con-
sequently you are weak,
worn-out, nervous, irrit-
{ble, cannot sleep; have
headache, indigestion, etc.
because there is not suffi-
Gent nerve force to keep
the organs active and al
low them to perform their
natural functions. DIR.

health because it restores
this nervous energy.
