WORD IMPRESSED THE JURY
Clever Use of Scientific Term Hs-
suited in Acquittai Of
Lawyers Client.

The case was one of assault and
battery, and one of the witnesses was
local doctor whom the prosecuting
lawyer proceeded to bully, suggesting
that he was prejudiced in favor Of
the defendant, and had wilfully dis
torted his evidence in his favor.
The doctor denied this, and went on
to say that the defendant was suf-
fering from "phalacrosis." The word
caused a sensation in court, and,
asked to define the disease, the doc
tor described it as "a sort Of chronic
disease of an inflammatory nature
which affects certain cranial tissues"
Asked if it affected the mind, the
doctor said he was not posing as an
expert, but he had known some per-
sons when suffering from the disease
become raving maniacs, and others
merely foolish. Some showed de-
structive and pugilistic tendencies,
while many others had suffered for
years and had never shown any men
tai abncrmalities
He refused to say anything further,
and the jury promptly acquitted the
accused, because, as the foreman ex-
planned, doc said there was some
thing the matter with his head"
When the case was over the prose.
cutor sought enlightenment as to the
mysterious disease, and found that
"phalacrosis" meant-baldness.

When Sea Feeds Land,

Seaweed, at one time thought val
ueless, is a wonderful fertilizer. Tons
of it are collected in carts at low tide
by the Cornish farmers and around
the coast Of England.
After being dried in heaps, it il
spread on the land. There it's nu-
tritive properties Of hydrogen and
potash, in which it Is very rich, are
absorbed into the soil, and produce
wonderful crops. New potatoes from
Jersey, and spring cabbages from
Cornwall, are raised with seaweed
fertilizer The sea also furnishes
food for the land in other ways.
The despised starfish, in many
places known as five-fingers, are
eagerly sought and carted away in
tons from the coast to fertilize the
fields further inland. Small fish, too,
useless for human food, are sold by
the million as manure. Rich in phos-
pilates, a primary element in land
fertilizers, they are good for almost
any kind Of root crops.

CHAPTER x.
The Barrier Between.

Her eyes deserted Brady's face and
sought mine. Not now, monsieur, not

then with suspicion. The name, the
face, the giant form deceived me- But,
smessieurs, We must not stand and talk.
I am in no danger; they will never
lay hands on me, but they will come
here seeking you. 1t will be as the
Englishman wishes; he will tell them
you are here, that you have killed
Wa-pa-tee-tah of the Wyandots. He will
point out to them the dead body, and
cry for vengeance. They are young
warriors, mad already with blood-lust
-Miamis, Shawnees, Ojibwas-many
of them outcasts from their tribes. No
words of mine will restrain them, or
save you. There will be blood and
war. You must not wait, messicurs );
you must go!"
And leave you here with those
demons
She made a swift gesture.
'I!-Mother of God, you do not un-
derstand. There is nothing for me to
fear. They dare not touch me. They
know mel am a Wyandot. To do me
evil would mean war. 1t is of your
selves you must think l will remain
here with my fathers body; they will
find me alone when they come"

Real Gratitude.

When Blaine was young lawyer
and cases were few, he was asked to
defend a poverty-stricken tramp &C.
cused Of stealing a watch. He plead
ed with all the ardor at his command,
drawing so pathetic a picture with
such convincing energy that at the
close of his argument the court was in
tears and even the tramp wept The
jury deliberated few minutes and re-
turned the verdict mot guilty" Then
the tramp drew himself up, tears
streaming down his face as he looked
at the future "plumed knight" and
said: Sir, | have never heard so grand
a plea. / have not cried before since l

which to reward you, but drawing a

HER PREMONlTION OF DEATH
Woman to Live Ever in Fear of
Impending Disaster.

A most touching account OF the
premonition Of coming trouble which
she experienced before the tragic
drowning Of her children at Paris, was
given by Isadora Duncan, the dancer,
whose poetic interpretations charmed
the people Of two continents.
Two months before the unhappy &C
cident, the bereaved woman was con-
tinuously haunted with visions Of
death. Consulting her physician, she
was assured that she was suffering
from nerves" When playing in Rus
STA shortly afterward, so strong was
her conviction, one night, that her
own death was imminent, that she left
letter containing her last words
on her dressing table, before going
onto the stage. Again one night on
the train she seemed to hear Chopin's
Funeral March all night long. At the
same time she seemed to see vision
which produced SO vivid an impression
tirely without rehearsal, she repro
duced it in motion, reducing her audi
ence to tears. All through my per-
Torrance" Miss Duncan says: I felt
as though l were marching to my
grave through an icy wind, and after
ward with a melody of resurrection, a
sort of ecstacy that was not earthly"
The very day Of the terrible acct
! dent, the mother had packed her little
| ones, who had accompanied her with
their nurse to Paris, for little outing,
where their lodgings were, as she was
to remain in Paris for the rest of the
day; and in saying goodbye she play
fully kissed the lips Of one of her
children through the glass. Contact
with the cold pane struck a chill to
the mothers heart and strange fore
boding overcame her as the motor
whizzed out of sight. A few minutes
later the children were hurled from
! the overturned car into the Seine.

INTEND BUILDINGS TO LAST
Writer Deeries Habit of Putting Lr
Temporary Structures to Serve
on the Farm.

As one looks back over his life on
the farm he is dismayed to see how
much of it has been spent in doing
things that are temporary; that must
be done over and over again. For ever
he is repairing fences or buildings; al
ways there haunts him the knowledge
that foundations are giving way, walls
bullying and roofs leaking.
The tax On maintenance on the farm
gin to correct this evil, the Breeders
Gazette says. For the sake of our
remaining years On the farm, for the
sake of the boys who will come after
us, let us build for permanence, SO far
as we are able. Concrete makes i'm
perishable foundations and floors. 1t
makes cheap walls for the lower
stories of farm buildings. Concrete
fence posts should last a hundred
years. Roofs of tile slate or galvan-
lied iron are fairly imperishable.
In Europe the farmer inherits much
more than his land; he inherits build
ings so well constructed that while
they are hundreds of years old they
will yet endure Indefinitely. The farm
er adds shed or two; he bequeaths
then to his son an equipment that is
comprehensive, useful and needs no
especial work to keep it in repair. Let
us quit moving on in America, but
settle down on the land as though We
meant to stay there, and signal that
intention by beginning the era of per-
manent construction on the farm.

taking An old hand worked it one
time like that. Die, villain" the
hero said and shot off his revolver
at the Villains head. But the gun
didn't go off. Six times the hero
pulled the trigger, and not a single
explosion took place. The audience
was getting historical, when the VIC
tim struck an attitude and said
Your pistol has missed fire, Sir
Reginald, but what difference does it
make? The thought that was to be
shot has frightened me to DEATH"
And he rolled over and died.

more OF an explanation than the fiimsy
