Hunor of Courtroom.-A remarka'
bly brief and effective summing up was
once quoted by Lord James in ar
after-dinner speech. 1t was delivered
by an Irish judge trying a man fol
pig stealing. The evidence Of his guilt
was conclusive, but the prisoner in
sisted on calling a number Of witness
es, who testified most emphatically tc
his general good character. After
hearing their evidence and the coun-
sels', speeches, the judge remarked

the only conclusion you can arrive al
is that the pig was stolen by the pris-
oner, and that he Is the most amiable
man in the county."-London Chroni-

A Remarkable Animal.-An old lady
was going over the zoo and after some
time she went up to keeper and tap
ped him on the shoulder, with her um-
brella.

old lady, (which of the animals in the
zoo you consider the most remark

say, I've come to the conclusion as

eek esabnsh shmenso utnumber the e"facT 4 N

establishments outnumber the fac
tories" three to one, though their
combined output is less by about two
thirds.
Mr.. V. L. Price, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee Of the National
Confectioners' association, estimates
the amount Of sugar now being used
ANNUALLY in the manufacture of con-
fectionery at 1850, 100000 pounds, or
nearly 100000 barrels. He states
further that sugar is about fifty per
cent Of the total ingredients used in
candies. the others being chocolate,
corn syrup, molasses, various kinds of
fruits and fruit flavors.
These figures indicate a total output
of 2,7O0, 900 pounds, or about thirty
pounds per capita
In comparison with this estimate we
have as a basis for calculation the fig
ures of the census of 1905. 1t gives as
the total value of the products, $116,-
612,S86, including factory plants and
small establishments. The latter are
represented III lIiS lOIdl 10 the exIeHl
of $29,525,6S3, the amount being esti-
mated on the value of the output of
small shops reported in the census of
1900 plus an increase equivalent to the
known increase in the output Of the
factory plants in the period between
1901 and 1905.
Presuming the percentage of increase
of output in the period from 1905 to
1910 to have been no greater than be-
tween 1900 and 1905-namely, upward
Of forty three per cent-the total pro-
duction for 1910 would be $124,506,171
for the factory plants and $42,221, ,655
for the small shops, or a combined to-
tai Of 166,727,826.
1t Is contended, however, by well-in-
formed confectioners, that proportion
ately the increase in the last census
term has been greater than in the pre-
vious one.
Conceding the probability Of this
view, 1t has been suggested that a fair
estimate of the total value Of the an
nual candy production in both factory
plants and small shops at the present
time would be 5000, 900, on a total
invested capital Of approximately
500, 900, 0,000.-Harper's Weekly:

spoke. The best a hearer could do
was to guess at the most obvious
meaning and let It go at that. In the

longed to Ben, the doctor followed
this course. The moose was undoubt-

summoned to attend him. Ben went

An Advertising Moral-Once upon a
time a donkey fell into deep hole,
according to Cassell's Saturday Jour-
nal, and, after nearly starving, caught
sight of q passing fox, and implored
the stranger to help him out.
II am too small to aid you," said
the fox, but I will give you some
advice. Only a few rods away is a
big, strong elephant. Call to him and
he will get you out in jiffy."
Alter the fox had gone the donkey
thus reasoned: II am very weak from
want Of nourishment. Every move
make is just so much additional loss
of strength. II 1 raise my voice to call
the elephant / shall be weaker yet
No, will not waste my substance that
way. 1t Is the duty Of the elephant to
come without calling"
So the donkey settled himself back
and eventually starved to death
Long afterward the fox, on passing
the hole, saw within a whitened skel-
eton and remarked:
IF 1t be that the souls OF animals
are transmigrated into men, that don
key will become one Of those who can
never afford to advertise"
