smbody with beneficial results the prin- ciples of the German system in dealing with petty disputes. It is perfectly proper that cases involving large amounts or important questions should be gone into with care and due ex- pense. But the extortionate rate which Americans pay for justice In small things is proverbial. The Germans deal with these things in an eminently sen sible way. An American tourist who inquired why there were only four law. yers In a town of 14,000 people in Ger. many, was told that the civil cases had been reduced to a minimum because every such case had to be tried by three concillators appointed by the Mayor of the city before 1t found Its way Into the courts. If the judgment of the consiliators Is not accepted the case then goes into court, but the loser has to pay all the costs, including at torneys' fees, So that the Judgment Of the conciliators Is usually accepted. The conciliators receive no salary, but they consider their appointment a high honor Only in islander cases are they permitted to impose a fine, which is payable to the district insane asylum. The guilty party Is required to sign declaration of regret and publish 1t In the official organ of the district. It would be manlfestly impossible to translate the details of this procedure to this country, but the adoption of the principle In some form adaptable to our way of doing would accomplish great good. Americans are a Having" peo- pie and are usually willing to pay for such justice as they may derive from rushing into court on the slightest proyocation. But 1t happens in many thousands of cases that the ends of justice are defeated by the costliness of securing 1t according to American jurisprudence. The intricate system of court costs has done much to spread the pessimistic Idea that justice Is only for those who can afford 1t. Anything which will tend to disprovs this idea Is to be commended, provided 1t does not go contrary to the spirit of our In. stitutions.

Bfggest Man in the House.

Cy Sulloway of New Hampshire still retains his place as the biggest man In the House of Representatives. and so far no one has appeared that may claim honor to second place ahead of Ollie James of Kentucky.
 sulloway is something more than six and a half feet tall and weighs but pound less than $50. His breadth ia proportionate with his height, and he towers above his colleague, Frank D. Currier, as he does above most all the members of the House. He Is one of the members who does not exercise his prerogatlve of taking his luncheon on that side of the House restaurant where the sign proclaims flor mem. bers only," but each day partakes of sparing lunch on the public side of the room, where negroes are not barred and where the motto Is that anybody's money is good.

 The chief reason a girl wants to gel married is to prove to anybody who doubts 1t that she can.
 You can buy of your wife from talk. ing her $50 allowance by giving her Il o0-cent bunch of flowers.
 What a woman can't understand Is how a man refuses to be happy over his ship coming In some day.
 When a man Is labeled cynic 1t Is a sign that he has managed to elude some woman who tried to marry him.

Already one of the leading par ties under which political sentiment is organized in the island has placed Il presidential candidate In nomination The impending change in the govern ment of the island is regarded very diff fereatly from the similar change which took place in 1902.

A SPLENDID VEHICLE.
Is That Which EnRland's King Uses
 on State Occasions.

When King Edward, of England, went to the opening of Parliament on the last occasion be rode in a carriage worth 3GWO. Built in 176l. on the occasion of the marriage of George IT,, the vehicle, one of the most costly and beautiful In the world, has ever since carried the Eng llsh Kings and Queens on all high state occasions. The carriage, which weighs four tons. was designed by Sir William Chambers.
 Despite It's 147 years service its great wheels, gear and body are said to be as sound as when built and 1t looks as If 1t would go on forever. Steel springs were unknown when the coach was built, and It's ponderous yet daintily luxurious body Is sus- pended on leather braces, not unlike those of the old Concord stage coaches of America. Its balance Is so perfect that touch of the finger is enough to set the body swinging on the big creaking straps which brace the carved and gllded tritons sup porting the drivers seat and hammer cloth. The length of the vehicle is 24 feet and 1t Is l2 feet high.
 The elaborate carvings cost more than the carriage proper, the coach builders bill having been less than 5000, while that of the carver was more than $10OOO. Something of the character of the ornamentation may be guessed from the fact that the ar tist Ciprianl received $1,5OO for paint ing the panels, and that the lace mak. CTS charge was about S4,OOO. the crlm- son satin interior of the carriage being most elaborately upholstered.
 The preparation of the royal equip age for state occasions Is a real sight. Six pairs of milk white horses from the royal stud are always used, and all wear false tails. The coachman, in powder and curls, mounts his seat with the aid of ladder, but does not really drive, postillions on the horses and state grooms who walk beside them being in command of the team.

Busybody Is the Useful Device Em-
 ployed by Philadelphians.
 If you were to ask the average per son what a busybody Is the reply would probably be lone who does not mind his or her own business" Such a definition would be laughed at in Phil adelphia, says the New York Trib- une. A "busybody" in Philadelphia Is an inanimate object which reveals animate objects. Nowhere in the coun- try are busybodies employed so exten- sively as in the Quaker City. They are to be found on almost every house, at least on every house of any preten- sions.
 Unless you have lived in Philadel- phia such an explanation would not prove satisfactory. however. A busy body Is composed of three pieces of mirror set at three different angles, 50 that the light reflected from either one of the two angles Is reflected into the glass set at the third or opposing angle. The three glasses are arrang-

ed on a piece of iron rod so bent and fastened to the lintel of the window In the second story of the building that any person on the second floor of the building can, by looking into the top most piece of glass, see what Is going on in the street below or who or what may be passing up and down the street without opening the window to look out. The mirrors take the place of bay windows.
 The primary object in setting up a busybody is to see who is at the front door, or who may be approaching from either side of the building to the door. The topmost piece of glass is tilted so that 1t will show the front doorstep. One piece of glass is set at an angle to catch a reflection of all that Is going on at the right side of the street and another to reflect the approach to the left.
 In Philadelphia, where ninety-nine out of every 100 houses are built out to the sidewalk. and all houses are built in a line, busybodles become great time savers for housekeepers. If un- desirable callers come to the front door the busybody gives timely notice of their approach, and the person sought need not be at home. By keeping an eye on the busybody the woman at

SOLITARY CONFINEMENT.
Italian Who Has Suffered It Thinks
 It Worse than Death,


 It Worse than Death.
 There has been much talk of late in France and elsewhere of the suppress sion of the death penalty. The guillo- tine Is to go and solitary confinement Is to take Its place. There Is a man in Paris who knows what the punishment of solitary confinement really means. and 1t will be of interest, says the Lon don Evening Standard, to hear what Amilcare Cipriani, who has undergone the punishment in Italy. has to say about 1t. He lives fin Paris, where Ills gaunt face and long beard are as well known on the boulevards as the Thea ter des Varietes itself. He was sen fenced when Zanadelli was minister of justice to twenty-five years solitary con- finement, and he recalls the phrase that Sig. Zanardelli uttered in the Italian parliament to reassure those members sf 1t who thought the guillotine should not be done away with. I've are abol- ishing the death penalty" he said, but in its place we shall give criminals q punishment which will make them long for 1t"

An American actor once spoke of Shakespeare as the man who had left to posterity "the richest legacy of all the countless dead" Although he did not refer to a legacy of dollars and cents, yet if the figures given in Washington paper are correct, the state ment might be nearly true in that sense also. A popular novel that sells half a million copies in few years is re garded as wonder, yet of Shakes peare's works approximately three mill lion copies are still sold every year. A royalty of one dollar set on his works and that would be small compared with the royalties of modern author would produce an income of three mill lion dollars year. And yet they say there Is no money In literature.

THE TEST OF OFFICIAL FITNESS.

Every governmental scheme finds its ultimate test in the character of the men who may be brought to Its execution. Men who in trade will resort 10 dishonest methods and un- fair practices in competition will at tempt to fatten themselves at the expense of the public If they are elected to office. Men who will prey upon minority stockholders or abuse the trusts that are committed to them in our great financial enterprises will prey upon the people if they have chance.
