The JudoAS' RidN-

Customs change slowly with the law yers, but the procession through the streets at the reopening of the Jaw courts was not always the casual af- fair it now is. Until the middle of the sixteenth century the judges ride" to Westminster hall was quite an impos- ing spectacle. all the legal dignitaries being mounted on mules. like bishops and abbOts on pilgrimage. Mules presently gave place to horses, which in turn were abandoned for coach he's The last procession on horseback took place in the time of Charles II. and was then regarded as an interesting revival. It whS not greatly appreciat- ed. however. by the judges themselves, who found their efforts to remain in the saddle far from conducive to a dignitied appearance. and hefore the journeys end one of their number Lord TwisdDn. had the misfortune to be thrown in the mud Westminster Gazette.

Two Hundred Per Gent Losa

He was no college bred business man. He was just the other kind. In the course of his commercial ventures he was induced by an acquaintance to become partner in the grain and feed line. After about year of it the firm went to pieces. leaving him with the bag to hold. A college friend met him shortly after the collapse and was ask ing about it.
 What per cent of the loss fell on yOu?" inquired the friend. who didn't know the particulars.
 1.-Two hundred" he responded promptly.
 1.-TWO hundred?" exclaimed the friend. "Why. man. there can't be more than hundred per cent loss"
 Come off," he countered. ''There was two of us. He lost hundred and lost hundred. Don't that make 2OO%'
 "Of course not. Your loss Is only 100 per cent"
 "Yes. but say" he explained. "I had settle for it all.''
 Oh" said the friend.-New York Press

Through a Big Telescope.

The first look through a great tele- scope is disappointing. but the novice soons sees that the fiat appearance which the heavens present to the naked eye is replaced by curious con- cavity; the moon and stars seem to be hung in space rather than spread out on a flat surface. For a moment one feels at the telescope like a child watching the swift moving balls kept in the air by juggler and expecting to see one of those great, bright bodies fall. Then comes the thought, What keeps them there, apparently suspend ed in space with absolutely nothing to hold them firm? The explanation of the learned astronomer causes the brain of the layman to whirl, and he sees himself, perhaps for the first time, as a child gathering pebbles on the great shores of the sea of knowl- edge or as "an infant in the night, an infant crying for the light, and with no language but a cry."-National Maga- zine.

Masqueradina In the Past.

lp the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Venice set the fashion in all matters of amusement aud was sort of combination of our Monte Carlo and Paris. Throughout the eighteenth cep- tury the HenetianS were seized with perfect mania for masquerading and gambling. Paris and London followed suit. and the two most popular amnse- meutS. both public and private, were maSqueradeS and gambling saloons. People uOt only wore their masks or VisOrs at balls. but in the mall and the parks and the lheaterS. At length matters got to such pass that when police raid was made on certain low dancing place ill Soho and an or der was given for every cue to uumask what was the amazemeut Ot the police to find that at least third of the con- pany consisted of ladies and gentle meu of the highest aristocracy. some Ot whom had eveu brought their daughters.

 "'Even though she said, they have to be shipped from England, I don't see why their price should have nearly doubled, do you?'
 'Wel-er-not exactly murmured MT. Blight, though they do say. the hen plovers have taken to acting very oddly of late-strutting around, and growing topknots and spurs, and even trying to learn to crow '"-Exchange.

Court Dress of Lanraata.

Tennyson's court dress when he re ceived the laureateship did not cost him much, for 1t was the same court dress worn by Wordsworth, who in turn had 1t from the old poet Rogers, and 1t is still in the Wordsworth fam fly. It is a wonder how Tennyson and Wordsworth got into 1t, for Rogers was a little fellow. Tennyson had no pas sion for courts, and so he went In sec ond hand to save cost. = New York Press.

SPIDER INSTINCT.
Cutting Web Thread to Escape From
 Intruder

Cutting Web Thread to Escape From
 an Intruder.
 The instinct of the spider is always an interesting subject for study. Re gently a naturalist placed a small spi- der in the center of a large spiders web some four feet above ground. The large spider soon rushed from it's hiding place under a leaf to attack the intruder, which ran up one of the as- cending lines by which the web was secured to the foliage.
 The big insect gained rapidly upon the little one, but the fugitive was equal to the emergency, for when barely an inch ahead of the other 1t cut with one of its rear legs the line behind itself thus securing it's own es- cape, the ferocious pursuer falling to the ground.
 The naturalist says: "It is not the habit of spiders to cut the slender thread below them when they are as- cending to avoid some threatened dan- ger unless there is hole close at hand-and hole that is known to be unoccupied." From this it would seem that the little creature's action was the result of some sort of reasoning. h. stinct led it to run away, but it must have been something more than in- stinct that led it to sever the line and so cut off the pursuit.
 The same naturalist says that spi- ders are cannibals and that they are naturally pugnacious. But they do not fight for the satisfaction of eating one another 'When two spiders fight there Is generally a very good reason for the attack and the vigorous de fense that follows.
 ''It is not generally known that after certain time spiders become inca pablo of spinning a web from lack of material. The glutinous excretion from which the slender threads are spun is limited, therefore spiders can not keep on constructing new snares when the old ones are destroyed. But they can avail themselves of the web producing powers of their younger neighbors, and this they do without scruple. AS soon as a spiders web constructing material has become ex- hausted and it's last web destroyed 1t sets out in search of another home, and unless it should chance to find one that is tenantless battle usually en- sues, which ends only with the retreat or death of the invader or defender."- New York World

Pageantry Appeals to the Nesro's
 Tropical Imagination.
 Once upon a time a Philadelphia lawyer came south. He had a pair of big spectacles, an inquisitive mind, and he wanted to know, says Harris Dickson in Success Magazine. With his southern friend he was hurrying to the courthouse negro parade block ed the street-negroes in carriages, on horseback, on foot; negroes with swords and axes. stumpy negroes with Masonic banners, lean negroes with Pythian devices. fat negroes with Odd Fellows insignia, miscellaneous ne groes with miscellaneous emblems.
 The Philadelphian pushed through the crowd and ran back in great ex- are they doingY
 The southerner couldn't explain, but beckoned to a very intelligent young negro-who. by the way. was a promi- nent politician-and asked. From, what's the occasion for all this pa- radeW
 The young negro laughed. Now, jedge, you ought to know dat nigger don't need no 'casion for parade"
 Tom had spoken a mouthful. Pag- eantry appeals to the negros tropical imagination. Churches and lodges fur nish most of the social life that he knows. He does not ask why the brass band is playing. He keeps step with the fellow that beats the drum and is happy.
