correct any clerical errors in
book keeping, and the subscriber
who talks about the editor behind
his back has no honest complaint
else he would take it to head

Wanted to Go to Jail But
Judge Kol Says, mot Now"

An unusual request was made
at the Police Court in this city
Saturday morning, when Enoch
Fritts appeared before Police
Judge Koltinsky and demanded
that he be sent to Jail. Some
days ago Fritts, with a number
of others, was convicted, upon
a charge of gaming, the particu-
lar offence being shooting craps
Not caring to pay the fine,
and being unwillly to fill a
bond, Fritts supposed he would
be sent to Jail, there to spend the
next twenty four days paying"
his fine and the costs, which am
ounted to S24. But, greatly to
his surprise. the court did not
sentence him to Jail, but set him
free, telling him that he could
pay the fine as soon as he got the
money.
After thinking the matter over
Fritts decided that this CHART
able disposition on the part of
the coCrc was not likely to en-
cure, and that he had rather be
in Jail now than later, when the
weather might be warmer, so he
returned to court this morning to
have himself sentenced. Judge
Koltinsky refused his peculiar
offer and sent him forth again.
He then canvassed the offices of
various lawyers in a vain effort
to find one who could force the
court to send him to Jail. He
was much disappointed that none
of them would promise him any
chance of getting the strange va
riety of relief he sought.

Extreme Precocity.

IL has long been noted that many precocious children die young, and that extreme precocity being in the nature of disease, should be a subject of the gravest care. Medical authOri- ties hold that in a highly precocious child the exercise of the intellect, whether in lessons or otherwise. should be controlled. not. as is too often the case, unduly stimulated if there is any desire that the child live to maturity. The annals of preeocity present no more remarkable instance than the brief career of Christian Heinecker. born at Lubeck. February 6. 1721 At 10 months he could repeat every word said to him: at F months he knew by heart all the principal events told in the five books of Moses. In his second year he learned the greater part of the history in both the old and New Testaments. In his third year he learned to speak Latin and French In his fourth year he made study of religion and was able not only to repeat all he had read. but to ex- press his own judgment upon it. He was taken to the court at Copen- hagen and proclaimed a wonder. He then learned to write. but his eonsti- tuition being weak he fell i'll and died on June 97. l725, when little more than years old. which should be a warning 10 parents not 10 push their precoeious youngsters too hard.

REAL USE FOR QUEUE
QUITE GOOD REASONS WHY
 CHINAMAN CHERISHED IT.
Was Believed 10 Promote Health, and Certainly Was a Protection to the Head Both in Summer
 and Winter.

A great many people have. no doubt. wondered just why the Chinese should cultivate queues. It has been claimed that the queue was sacred to them, that it was disgrace to injure those long braids of shiny black hair. just as it was considered nearly a sacrilege in Bible times to injure the beard.
 No doubt the Chinaman took pride in his long braid of hair. because his fathers before him took pride in 1t. but, according to several authorities who have long studied the customs and history of China and the Chinese, there were other reasons for the queue. and apparently quite good req sons at that
 In the first place, the Chinaman be- lieved that it was far more healthful to wear his head shayen. except at the top of his head. and let 1t grow in long mass to be braided One be- lief was that wearing the hair in this manner increased the circulation of blood in the brain and therefore made the Chinaman healthier and keener.
 Then again, during cold weather the queue could be braided about the head. giving the protection of a thick warm cap. And in extremely hot weather the queue was again braided about the top of the head. this time to protect the wearer from sunstroke.
 The long queue is also used as a sort of neck-eloth. 10 wrap about the neck. and it is bound loosely on the back of the head to serve as a pillow at night Perhaps one of the most pc culiar uses attributed to it is in sud den illness or injury. especially in the old days of warfare when swords were the general weapons Then it was used as a turniiuet 10 bind about the injury and prevent too great a loss of blood
 It was for these reasons as well as for any reasons of sentiment or relig- ion that the Chinamen hesitated so long before agreeing to sacrifice their queues, but it is evident that the GUS tom of wearing queues was not what might be termed a foolish habit" as it was really made to serve a number of uses.
