Had Enouuh Of Law.

A gentleman who is now general su-
p~erintendent of a railroad began life
by trying to practice law in a Missouri
village. One of his first cases was be-
fore his father. who was a justice of
the peace. After a stormy wrangle be-
tween the young attorney and his ad-
versary the old gentleman decided the
case against his sons client. The young
man gave vent to some expressions of
Indignation. gathered up his books and
started to leave the room. His father
pushed his specs on to his forehead
and began mildly to lecture him, say
ing:
Young man, do you expect to make
your living practicing lawT"
The son, who had by this time reach.
ed the door, shouted back as he re-
tired from the field:
mot before such a blamed fool court
as this"
He abandoned the law and engaged
in ~railroading with great success

Quicksa and.


Quicksand differs from beach and
other sand in that the individual
grains have become worn by water
or wind until the normal facets and
angles have been abraded and each
grain has become more or less spher-
ical. The coefficient of friction is thus
reduced to the minimum and the bed
does not pack when dry and when wet
behaves like a fluid. The depth Of
quicksand is conditioned by the depth
of the ~hardpan or other compact ma
terial upon which the sand rests. In
building operations on the lower end
of Manhattan island quicksands are
encountered more than 100 feet in
depth. Near Pueblo, Colo, in 1875, a
train was drawn by a derailed loco
motive into a quicksand and was swal.
lowed up beyond discovery. although
probed for to a depth of fifty feet.
In certain smaller littoral quicksands,
bodies which have been engulfed are
in time brought to the surface at the
edge of the shivering sands. This is
due to the structure of the containing
bowl of rock which permits a sluggish
circulatory movement Of the plastic
mass.

When the late Pierre Lorillard was boy, his mother, bcing annoyed by moths that destroyed the woolen cloth Ing and other material of the house hold. agreed to pay him cent apiece for every moth he would kill in the house and bring to her. The same bargain was made with his brothers. Jake. George and Louis. Iii course of time Mrs. Lorillard noticed that, while the other children collected from her at intervals from 10 to 25 cents. Pierre drew on her frequently for $1 at a time. indorsing his drafts with 100 dead moths. Investigation revealed the bent of the future linancier as well as his early adaptability to meth eds governing the requirement of wealth. Having procured from a fur rfer some pieces of fur thrown away because they were infested with moths. Pierre secreted them in an old chest in an unused closet. There the quickly accumulating moths were banked, to be drawn upon whenever the inventor and perfecter of the en tarprise required pocket money.
