ing rare. Too many people nowadays

The Supreme Court.

The supreme court of the United
States Is supposed to be strictly non
political, free from all parties and
above all parties. 1t was designed by
the fathers of the constitution to act
as the governor" or ~"fywheel," Of
our system of government, maintain.
ing justice and right in the midst Of
the wrangIing factions and clashing in
terests. According to the theory, the
supreme court Is to know nothing but
the constitution and the laws that are
made In pursuance thereof and in ev-
cry matter that is brought up before it
to hold the balance even. regardless of
everything else.-New York American

R0BBING THE COAL PILE.
Smoke That Goes Up the Chimney Is
Fuel Thrown Away.

Fuel thrown Away.
For the benefit of any one who may
not see the analogy between a robbed
coal pile and a smoking chimney it
may be briefly and simply explained.
The visible part in smoke is nearly
all carbon. either as SCOT or cinder, and
carbon is the principal combustible
part of coal-f. e., the useful part, the
part capable Of yielding heat. Carbon
completely burned forms an invisible
gas, carbon dioxide; therefore when
ever the gases from a stack show
black they contain carbon, which indi-
Gates that complete combustion has
not taken place in the boiler furnace.
In other words, all Of the available
heat In the coal has not been realized.
1t Is the same as though the CORE
spending part of the coal fed into the
furnace had been thrown away, for.
although 1t has passed through the
furnace, 1t has been thrown away up
the stack beyond recovery. Is this,
then, so very different from robbing
the coal pile?
The owner who through ignorance
allows conditions to exist which are
not favorable to the most economical
operation of his boiler furnaces, al
though be is unwittingly robbing him
self, is nevertheless stealing from his
own coal pile.-Power.

A Golf Outrage.

The Earl Of Wemyss was on a Fife
golf course on one occasion accomp-
panied by an old caddie. His lordship
got his ball on one occasion so neal the
hole that to play 1t was. as it appeared
to him, superfuous. So he simply tip
ped it in with the toe Of his boot.
The caddie revolted instanter, threw
down the clubs and looked Mortified.
When he found words to speak 1t
was to say, Hang 1t, me lord, gowf's

The Males Have Pockets In Which
They Garry Their Young.
The kangaroo has always seemed to
have the monopoly of that convenient
way of carrying it's babies in a pouch.
but. it has been discovered that a fish
has the same useful receptacle, which
it uses for the same purpose. The pipe
fish. as it is called from the length of
its jaws, has a pocket on the under
side of it's body nearly half its length.
1t is found in the male species only and
is the only part of its body which is
unprotected by large fat plates, which
take the place of scales in it's protective
armOr.
If a pipefsh is taken from the water
and it's little ones shaken out Of the
pouch back into the water they always
seem either unable or disinclined to
run away. But if the father is placed
in the water again all the small fish
Immediately swim back into the pouch.
These curious little creatures have pre-
hensile tails, which they use to hold on
to the Seaweed to protect themselves
from being carried away by the tide.
The pipefSh is similar to the small eel,
being about a foot In length and an
inch In thickness. But, unlike the eel,
it has a very long jaw and the peculiar

JUDGE F. P. SADLER, OF
MUNICIPAL COURT

All kinds Of criminal cases are tried
at the Harrison and Desplaines Street
Criminal Courts in Chicago-gamblers,
dope" fends, white-slavers, those who
deal in commercial vice, burglars, rob-
bers and likewise murderers, all come
into these courts. Naturally the Juve-
nile criminal cases, both male and fe-
male, come into these courts and this
gives one an opportunity to observe
youthful d~elinquents. The boy prob
lem and the girl problem in their rela-
ton to crime can be studied here in a
way that few places offer. 1t is in the
above named courts and through years
Of experience that Judge F. P. Sadler,
ore of our Chautauqua speakers, has
gathered the information for his great
lecture, 1.-THE Criminal in the Making"
The Judge says of these courts and Of
his works:
Naturally the work of the court is
corrective and supposedly reformatory
and, therefore, in dealing with crime
there is a wide experience in trials
trying to save the criminal, the way
ward and the delinquent. Out of this
branch Of my work, supplemented by
a thorough study of the whole subject,
grew my lecture "The Criminal in the
Saving" I prefer always to give the
lecture "The Criminal in the Making"
first. This is a companion piece to
that lecture. / have given it a large
number Of times the last two years
and so far as l know always to the
satisfaction of the committees"
Zone of the things that stands out
wildly in my memory is the expert
ences | passed through while we were
trying to drive cocaine sellers, or
coke" sellers as they were called,
from the Desplaines street district Of
Chicago. 1t excited a good deal of at
tention at the time for a great NAM
of the delinquents were users Of this
''coke," especially those who were
found in the levee districts. In order
to get rid of the Illegal selling, we had
to go finally to the Legislature of Il
linois where we succeeded in having
passed a most stringent law governing
this subject We sent several well
known druggists to prison before we
could stop this diabolical business"
