After spending several hours in

at last rode to the door Of farm.

came to the door, and dofiing his hat
very politely, the old man inquired If
she had noticed and stray poultry

A furnace authority says: In mild
weather 1t Is not necessary to shake
down the furnace fire. You can econ
omize on fuel and still have q fire
ready to start full blast should the
north wind begin to blow. With the
furnace poker rake down only part
Of the ashes, forming sort Of crater

this crater put the fresh coal. This
is really a sort OF furnace within the

.BREVITY LEADS TO ACCURACY.
Form OF Old.Fashioned Indictment.
With All Its Jarson Of Law,
5 10 Out Of Date. ~.

Those who know nothing of the su-
perstitious awe with which the legal
fraternity regard the forms OF proceed
ure can scarcely appreciate the high
courage required of the district at
torney OF Kings county, New York, to
break with tradition and draw up an
indictment, say, for murder. with the
aid OF only sixty simple words. the
Philadelphia Record remarks. In the
old form the grand jury makes Its &C
cusation briefly enough. but the de-
scription of the felonious act is fear
fully and woefully designed. A long
paragraph freely interluded with ouch
terms as force OF arms" and other
phrases from the jargon Of the law,
Is required for the mere statement
that the defendant committed an as.
sault with intent to kill. #
The old-fashioned indictment, de-
scribes the course, OF the bullet In
about 600 words, stating how the de-
PENDANT "a certain pistol then and
there charged and loaded with gun
powder and one leaden bullet"-which
is manifestly an untruth. The weap-
on with which the killing is accom-.
plished is not loaded in the presence
Of the victim. but is charged with
ready.made cartridges. Nor does 1t
contain only one leaden bullet. for 1t
is usually a revolver holding five or
six shots. .s...
This painful striving after accuracy,
which, after all, merely breeds inaccu-
racies and results in appeals for error
and endless retrials, is ,intolerable In
an age which lays such stress on eff
cheney. We criticiee the artisan who
goes through twelve motions In laying
a brick when the feat could be accom-
plished in three or four motions; but
the legal tautologist gets paid proper
tionately to the greatness Of his waste
of words.
The sin Of tautology permeates ey.

one OF the prime causes OF the expen.
ssiveness~ and dilatoriness Of litigation.
