In those words Packy Mcfarland spoke
relative to his intention Of going abroad

ably lie the mainstay Of the team in the

"A certain family had attended a

TRIED TO sRlBE MAGISTRATE
New York eootblack offered Him
Years Free Shines 40 Price
n, Of Liberty.

A bold attempt to bride city
magistrate and incidentally clog the
wheels of justice happened recently
in the Essex Market police court.
Just how Magistrate Harris was able
to withstand the voice Of the tempt
er in view Of the fact that dusty
weather is soon due is hard to un-
derstand.
"I'll shinea da shoes for you onea
whole year, eef you letta me 60,
judge" tempted Francisco Palmet-
to, who had been arrested along with
some forty others of his fellow boot
bootblacks on complaint of the bu-
reau of licenses for failing to have
their old licenses renewed.
"You mean that you will give me
free shines for a year if l let you
goP" inquired Magistrate Harris.
Palmetto assured the magistrate
that that was exactly what he did
mean and promised to come to the
court every day to do the job.
The magistrate, however, after in
forming the bootblacks that they
must procure new licenses and re-
ceiving their promises to do so, dis
charged them all. Palmetto wanted
to give the magistrate shine before
he left, but Magistrate Harris
couldn't stop the session.-New

USE FOR BABIES.
Hare.

A comedy of babies was enacted in
"a Dublin { Ireland) court the other
morning. A number of young wom-
en- fish dealers were summoned for
exposing fish for sale on the public
thoroughfare. The first batch all
appeared with babies in their arms
and were discharged with a caution.
When the second batch of defend
ants appeared and each had a baby
in her arms his lordship was bewil-
dered, as he recognized several of
the chubby youngsters who had ap-
peared with different mammas. The
practice Of lending a baby to excite
the sympathy Of the court appears to
be common on such occasions and
one baby often appears repeatedly
in different arms before the magis-
trate.

EXERCISE FOR CHILDREN.

Exercise is absolutely necessary
for children. Without it, it is i'm.
possible to keep the little ones mus.
Giles and organs in a sound and
healthy condition. Outdoor games
are really the best form of exercise
as the children's interest is held
while their muscles are being used
but brisk walks are good, too. But
let them also do few simple calls
themes to strengthen the chest, as
games do not provide for this. Sim.
ply stretching the arms in front and
then slowly moving them from front
to back and back again, and then
above the head and down to the side
a few times is quite enough. Teach
them to breathe deeply at the same
time.

FINDS GOOD IN EVERYTHING
That Is the Ono Unfalllng Characterize
tic Of Wisdom, According to
the Philosopher.

Wisdom is alchemy. Else it would
not be wisdom. This is its unfailing
characteristic, that it finds good in
everything, that it renders all things
more precious. In this respect also
does it renew the spirit of childhood
within US; while foolishness hardens
our hearts and narrows our thoughts,
wisdom makes us feel a childlike Gu
riosity and childlike interest about
all things. When our view is con-
fined to ourselves nothing is Of value
except what minister in one way or
other to our personal qualification !:
but in proportion as it widens, our
sympathies increase and multiply.
Nothing can be further from wisdom
than the mark of it assumed by men
Of the world who affect indifference
about whatever does not belong to
their own immediate circle of inter-
ests or pleasure.-Julius Charles
Hare.

dope"

An amateur philologist in New
York has unraveled the derivation
of the principal word in the Ameri-
can vocabulary, dope" dope"
means ideas of any kind-predic-
tons of results in sporting events,
or a lawyers argumentative mate
rial, or any intellectual method what
soever. dope" is a contraction Of
the phrase, 'Do you want 'ope' p the
last word of which is, in turn, an
abbreviation of opium" This used
to be the question asked by the Chi-
nese proprietor of the opium joints
in San Francisco. dope" came to
mean the fancies that would come
to the man dreaming under the In
fuence of opium, and, finally, to
mean any neutrality-suspicious., ar.
gument or opinion.
