RELIC OF ANTIQUITY.
The, Seal That Is So Often Used on
Legal Documents.


A most absurd thing connected with
legal business is the little piece of red.
green or blue paper or daub of sealing
wax which we often place at the end
of signature to deed. will or other
important document
1t is a very small thing in size. but
one to which great deal of impor
tauce is frequently given. 1t is relic
Of antiquity. and no plausible excuse
can be invented for continuing its use
Some of the more progressive states
have practically abolished its use by
legislation. which deprives it of any
technical legal significance. In Others
however. it is still used with all Sc
robustness and solemnity. and an al
most magical value Is given to II by
dignified judges that is little less than
ridiculous.
A man died years ago leaving part
of his estate to another to enjoy while
he lived. with the privilege of devising
II at his death to others whom he
might select by writing under his
"hand and seal" A writing was exc
cuted so devising the property. but 1t
was contested by others claiming the
property upon the technical ground
that the paper contained no seal after
the signature and the devise was
therefore void.
A wise Philadelphia Judge closely
scrutinized the signature and after
carefully listening to the arguments
of lawyers decided that at the end of
the signature there was an extra
scroll or flourish made with the pen
with which the signature was made
and that this was sufficient in law to
| constitute a seal.-Case and Comment

The CabaI.

The term 'cabal' as applied to Sc
cret factions of any kind had its rise
in England about 1861, being first ap.
piled to the cabinet of Charles ii. and
formed from the initials of the cabi
net members names-Lord Clifford.
Lord Ashley. the Duke of Bucking
ham. Lord Arlington and the Duke
of Lauderdale-C. A. B. A. L. Since
that day 1t has been customary. in all
English speaking lands at least. to ap-
ply the name to any secret conclave.

THEY LIKE PRISON LIFE.
A Glass of Persons In Japan Who Try
to Break Into Jail.

A Class of Persons In Japan Who Try
to Break Into Jail.
In Japan there are people who make
sham confessions in order to obtain a
period of the comparative warmth and
comfort of Japanese prison. The
Japan Mail says: 1.-The police slang
of the capital has words to describe
and distinguish these persons. 'MeShi
kui.' or the rice criminal. will steal
some small article from a shop front
in such a way as to be seen doing it.
He then makes a bolt Of it. pursued by
the master of the shop. or some faith
full kozo but presently allows himself
to be caught and handed to the pc
lice. He has to do time for his pre-
tended theft. but his rice is secured
for period. and when that period has
elapsed he will allow himself to be
caught again.
1.-THE 'unandon.' or eel bowl criminal.

He does not actually commit a crime.

side of the prison. but allows himself
to be found looking In suspicious
places. underneath the broad verandas
of temple. or In the garden of pri-
vate house. He gets into prison all
right. but he secures the more generous
treatment of the house of detention,
which is to the fare Of the convict jail
what a dish of cells is to a bowl of
plain rice
1.-THE 'kuruma' is criminal who
makes a sham confession in order to
sneak free railway ride. The Asasi
tells of case connected with a muir.

AFTER THE TEMPEST.
The Genial Calm That Settled Over The
Pretty sehoolma'ann.

Pretty ScnooIma'am.
A pretty schoolma'am once taught
school In a Long Island village. All
the young fellows for miles around
were mad about her. but the school,
ma'am was proud. and none Of the
boys seemed to stand the ghost OF a
chance.
Young Jim Brown the judges son.
was the best looking chap In the
town. and Jim probably loved the
schoolma am more than any OF her
other SWANS. but he never had the
pluck to declare himself. He felt too
small and mean before the beauty and
learning of the schoolma'am. But one
day, the schoolma'am being away on
a visit in New Fork state. Jim asked
advice Of the editor. The editor said:
"Take the bull by the horns and in
sert an announcement of your forth
coming marriage in my society col
umn. 1t will cost you only 80 cents"
So Jim inserted an announcement to
the effect that the schoolma'a am and
he would be married the next month
and would spend their honeymoon at
Atlantic City.
Well. short time after this an
nouncement appeared the schoolma'am
came back home Jim heard on all
sides how furious she was. For sew
eral days he kept away from her
Then one afternoon as she was com
ing home from school be ran plump
into her in the lane.
| She let him know at once what she
| thought of him and his outrageous
| conduct. She stormed and raved. and
! her pretty eyes flashed fire. Jim stood
first on one foot and then on the 9th
err, and finally he blurted out:
'Well, If you don't like it can have
the announcement contradicted"
"Oh. bother it," said the school
ma'am. ITS too late now"-Wash-

ToLsToY WANTED BLOOD.
His Quarrel With Turgeneff and the
Reconciliation That Followed.


Raymond Recouly in the Paris FL
caro- gives the following account OF
an early encounter between Tolstoy
and Turgeneff, which shows the Rus
sian sage In different frame Of mind
from the one In which the world mas
since come to know him:
II was on the estate of his friend,
the poet FEET. near Yasnaya. Turgeneff
was among the invited guests. The
hostess inquired after his daughter,
who was being reared In France
Turgeneff spoke highly of his Eng
lish governess. with truly British
exactitude." he said. "she requested
me to fix the sum which my daughter
might spend for charity. And now
she teaches her pupil to mend the
ragged clothes of the poor"
And you consider that good
thing?" asked Tolstoy.
Certainly" replied the other 1T

tact with the persons whom he Is
helping"
ION my part, think that a well
dressed child who handles dirty and
I'll smelling rags is playing hypo-
critical and theatrical farce"
II must ask you not to speak In
this way" exclaimed Turgeneff. with
menacing looks.
"Why should l not say what / am
convinced is the TRUTH" remarked
Tolstoy.
"You think. then. that l am educat
ing my daughter badly" and. while
Fet was interceding, "lf you will talk
in that way ! shall box your ears. :"
Then he left the room. begging his
hosts to pardon his abrupt departure.
Tolstoy also went. At the neighbor
ing station he wrote to Turgeneff de
handing an apology. He ordered PTS
tolls and tried to provoke his rival to a
duel Turgeneff's answer. very digni
by Tolstoy. He closed by saying that
he thought it best that two men with
such opposite tempers should hence
forth break off all relations. Tolstoy
carried away by his anger dt was in
1861, declined to be satisfied with
such an answer He felt that he had
been gravely offended. He demanded
reparation by arms. He therefore re
peated his provocations. His friend
Fet, who attempted to pacify him
succeeded only in drawing from him
this vigorous reply: ~ beg OF you
henceforth not to write to me any
more. / shall return your letters un
opened. the same as | do with Turge
neff's." After these occurrences Turge
neff returned to France. where ht
passed the greater part of his time
Some months later on reflection. Tol
stoy regretted his violence. Seized
with remorse. he sent Turgeneff let
ter asking his pardon. II find 1t ex
ceedingly painful" he wrote. 1T
think that l have made an enemy o
you"
Turgeneff forgave, as one may i'm
agine, but the complete and definitiv'
reconciliation took place much later.
