A CAREFUL JUDGE.
The Way the Law Is Administer ID In
Merrie England.

MerrIe England.
A friend Of mine, wishing to make
present Of a ring to an acquaintance
who was on the eve Of being married.
bought the article and handed It to the
jeweler, with instructions to have
suitable inscription engraved upon II,
making q stipulation that 1t should be
finished and returned by certain
date, otherwise II would be useless.
Months elapsed before the ring was
delivered. 1t was sent back to the
Jeweler. The tradesman took out
summons, and my friend had to come
back to town and sit In stuffy court
all day without the case beirr called.
Next morning he bribed thu = her TO
let him know when the case was
called. He was sent for at lunchtime
and sat till quarter past listening
to anything but edifying matters
which had to be disposed Of first. BY
this time the old gentleman on the
bench was fast asleep. The jewelers.
case was called, and my friends So
licitor stated the defense. At its close
the legal functionary slowly disentan-
gled himself from the embrace OF
Morpheus, opened one eye, grunted,
"Verdict for plaintiff" and numbered
heavily out Of court. My friend was
furious and addressed the Judge in
terms the reverse OF polite. The usher
endeavored to pacify him and eventu-
ally led him out Of court and after
pocketing another half sovereign he
remarked: Eyes, sir; It's very ard,

THE CHYSANTHEMUM.
Japanese Legend of the Origin Of the
Many PetaIed Flower.


Many PetaIed Flower.
The Japanese have an interesting
legend I'm connection with the origin Of
the chrysanthemum. In a garden bath
ed In the soft moonlight young girl
plucked flower and commenced to
strip the petals to see II her fance
loved her truly. OF a sudden a little
god appeared before her and assured
her that her fiance loved her passion
ately. Your husband will live, he add
ed, as many years as the flower which
I will let you choose has petals. With
these words he disappeared. The
young girl FASTENED to search the gar
den for a flower which should have an
abundance Of petals, but each one ap-
peared to promise but brief future
for her beloved.
At length she picked up a Persian
carnation, and. with the aid Of gold
pin taken from her hair. she separated
each Of the petals Of the flower so as
to increase the number Of folioles and
Of the number Of years accorded by
the god to her fiance. Soon under her
deft fingers one, two, three hundred
petals, thin, plant and beautifully
curved, had been evolved, and the
young girl cried for JOY to think Of
the happy future which her ruse had
assured her fiance. SO, runs the leg
end, was the chrysanthemum created
one moonlight night in japanese
garden where silvery brooks murmur-
ed softly as they ran beneath the little
bamboo bridges.-London Globe.

MEMS CLOTHES.
Not What They Used to De In the
Days Of Elizabeth.

Not What They Used to De In the
Days Of Elizabeth.
Most men nowadays do not get
much pleasure from dress and scarce
ly notice the changes Of fashion in
mems clothes. They are vaguely
aware that hat looks odd when its
shape is old fashioned, and they ac-
rept the hat of the moment because
they do not wish to look odd them
selves. But this is merely negative
interest. They are also apt to be con-
temptuous of women's greater inter
est in the fashions, as If it were a
mark of frivolity.
This is an ignorant mistake. Dress
Is or ought to be an art, and therefore,
II only minor art. 1t is a more seri-
Gus matter than any Of the games to
which many men give so much time
and pains. Besides, men have only be-
come Indifferent to their clothes I'm
modern times.
In the heroic age Of Elizabeth they
made themselves as smart as pea
cocks. Great soldiers and poets then
took pains to be In the height Of the
fashion, and fashions changed with
some violence and rapidity. In the
eighteenth century, too, which we do
not think Of as time of effeminacy
and when men were wanting neither
In enterprise nor I'm seriousness, they
were as splendid and extravagant In
their dress as women.-London Times.

o thou great Friend to all the sons of men,
Who once appeared in humblest guise below
Sin to rebuke, to break the captive's chain,
And call Thy brethren forth from want
and woe
We look to Thee! Thy truth is still the
Light
Which guides the nations, cropping on the
Way,
Stumbling and falling in disastrous night,
Yet hoping ever for the perfect day.

is thoroughly dried out, finely milled
and pressed again and again till a very

most like a sachet in their diffusive ef-
feet. and cling TO the skin for hours
after use, for the Russians like in

cake Of soap. and even down to the
