Gamblinq In Wood.

TO most people my business would
seem to be devoid Of chances" said a
dealer in fine woods, yet as a matter
OF fact I know of nothing that is more
OF a gamble. On every log of wood we
buy we take a chance that the inside
is as good as the outside. At a recent
auction of fine woods in London my
partner and paid $4,000 for a mahog-
any log that looked all right so far as
we could tell. If the inside was sound
we stood to make good profit, but
worm holes or rotten spots at the core
would mean heavy loss Not until
we got the log to this country and got
1t opened up could we be certain. As
matter of fact this particular log
was perfect. and we cleaned up $1,000
on the deal. But It was gambling pure
and simple. New York Sun.

Quick and Chap LEGAL Work.


The French tribunal of commerce Is
presided over by a Judge without a
jury. The plaintiffs lawyer argues
his own case before the Judge, simply
to show that he has a case and the
nature of it. The defendant does not
plead, but if he can disputes the facts.
If the judge considers there is no case
he dismisses the plaintiff. In the con-
rary case he appoints an assessor out
OF dozen chosen yearly of the towns
reputed merchants to decide upon it
The following day the assessor calls
the parties to his room in the court. He
hears each of them separately without
any lawyers. Within fifteen minutes
he gathers their documents and dis
misses them. Two or three days later
he communicates his judgment to the
solicitors through the court, and the
business is ended. The costs of law
yers and the court fees come to about
f6 side. The same case in England
would take six months at least and
cost no less than f15O for claim of
Mail.

COTTON CENSUS
REPORT AWAITED
The Report May Either Cause a Rise
or Decline in the Price of
the Staple.

New Orleans, March 17.-H. & B.
Beer report on the cotton situation as
follows:
"A severe cold wave made its way
into the South overnight and freezing
weather was experienced in all
| Southern states except Louisiana and
Texas, though the mercury dropped
to 80 in the panhandle. 1t is little
too early for cold weather to injure
cotton, as planting has hardly begun
except in south and southwest Texas,
but the freezing weather will proba-
bly, hurt other crops, especially corn
where it is above ground and may ne
cessitate replanting. 1t is just such
weather that is to be feared later on
when the better part of the cotton
crop will have been planted and much
of it above ground. The cold wave
recalls to mind the blizzard-like
weather which visited almost every
section of the belt at the close of
April last year and made it necessary
to replant about one-third of the
South's entire cotton acreage, freez-
ing weather have been experienced
in all districts of the belt except south
Texas. Having profited from expert
ence, planters in the northern half of |
the belt are not in a hurry to plant |

The prank, or scold's bridle, or gos- sips .bridIe, was neither more nor less than q nuzzle.

The tnstru- ment of torture. even a dogs leather rnuzzle, is uncomfortable. How much more the scold's muzzle! It consisted. according to q high authority, Mir " levitt, of q kind of crown or frame work of iron, which was locked upon the head, and it was armed in front with a gag, $ plate or sharp cutting knife or point, which was placed In the poor woman's mouth so as to prevent her moving her tongue, or it was so placed that if she did move It or at tempt to speak it was cut in most frightful manner. With this cage up- on her head and with the gag firmly pressed and locked against her tongue the miserable creature, whose sole or. lending perhaps was that she raised her voice in defense Of her social rights against a brutal and besotted husband or had spoken honest truth of some one high in office in her town. was paraded through the streets, led by chain by the hand of bellman, the beadle or the constable or chained to the ptllory, the whipping post or market cross, to be subjected to every conceivable insult and degradation, without even the power left her or asking for mercy or of promising amendment for the future. and when the punishment was over she was turned out from the town hall or the place where the brutal punishment had been inflicted, maimed, disfgured- bleeding. faint and degraded, to be the subject of comment and 5eering among her neiEhbors.-London Family Her ald.
