on Strike.

IL 1889 John Scott, earl of C)on-
nell, who was lord chief justice Of
Ireland, made some insulting remarks
from the bench to Mr.. Hacket, a mem
ber of the bar, who was conducting
an argument before him. A general
meeting Of the bar was called. a Sc
we're condemnation of his lordship's
conduct voted with only one dis
sentient and an unprecedented resolu-
ton passed that until his lordship pub
licly apologized no barrister would
either take a brief, appear in the
kings bench or sign any pleadings for
the court. This strike experiment was
actually made. The judges sat. but
nc counsel appeared, no cause was
prepared, the attorneys all vanished,
and their lordships had the court all
to themselves. There was no alterna-
tive, and next day Lord Clonmell pub
lished a very ample apology by adver-
tisement in the newspapers and made
it appear as If written on the evening
OF the offense and therefore volun-
tary.-London Law Times.

WAR HORSES IN BATTLE.
Cavalry Mounts Revel In the Dash and
Fury of the CHARGE.

1t will probably surprise yOu, said a
retired colonel of hussars, to learn that
Il cavalry horse usually enjoys a battle
at least a. much as his rider and dis
plays as much courage in it. He will
chafe and stamp With Impotence while
waiting for the order to charge and at
the signal will dash forward like a
greyhound released from the leash, full
of fire and fury and often neighing
wildly. At the momen of contact with
the enemy he will rear, striking and
biting savagely at the opposing horses
and trampling down the infantry.
When his rider falls he will dash
along with his fellows and crash as
CALAMITY into the foe. In the famous
charge of the Light brigade scores of
riderless horses swept down the wal
ley of DEATH" laundering through the
smoke on to the Russian guns, and gal.
loped back in safety With the shat
tered remnant of the brigade. Five
horses raced neck and neck with Lord
Alfred Paget, who rode in advance of
the line, so eager We're they to get at
the enemy.
And not only is the We'll trained
charger as brave as his rider. He is
often as intelligent. He knows the
bugle calls just as well and answers
them as promptly. In fact. l have
known many a case in which a horse
has put his rider right when he has
mistaken an order and has gone fault
lessly through a maneuver in spite of
the efforts of his mistaken master to
make him do the wrong thing.-London

HENS IN WINTER.
They Stop Laying Eggs Because They
Acquire Too Much Fat.

They Stop Laying Eggs Because They
Acquire Too Much Fat.
That hens stop laying as winter
progresses is a fact known to every
farmer and chicken fancier; also, indi-
rectly. to every housewife through the
rise in the price of eggs. The reason is
explained by the Revue Scienti6que.
which says that the egg producing Or
CANS degenerate through too much fat.
This condition is the consequence of
too great abundance of food during the
winter, coupled with lack Of exercise.
due TO the narrow limits of the ordi-
NARY chicken run.
The fat invades the liver and piles up
in the heart; the blood becomes slug
Gish and the lungs do not take up
enough oxygen to insure combustion of
the fat.
THE obvious remedy" says the
Scientific American, sis to give less
food to hens which stop laying" Mr..
Brochemin, in an article in L'Acclima-
tation, advises that starchy foods. such
rs corn, rice and barley. be limited.
while an abundance of such green food
as cabbage. boiled clover. sorrel, ETC..
be given. Also the hens must be made
to take exercise by giving them a large
run and by mixing their food with
straw. etc., so that they will have to
work for their food.

The Curse of Mexico.

Xochitl, the beautiful Indian maiden
OF 900 years ago, is responsible for the
Mexican national drink, pulque, pro-
nounced poolkay. She was the first to
drink the sweet liquid from the ma
guey plant. cousin Of the aloe, that
blooms once in 100 years. The drink i'll
its fresh state is quite harmless. but
the modern Mexicans have debased it
by fermentation, and it has now be-
come the curse Of Mexico. 1t appears
to have much the same effect as some
other national drinks, for it softens the

the nerves. So disastrous a hold has

German cruiser Emden, is about forty
one years old and was graduated from
the naval school at Kiel in 1891.
For some time Won Muller was adj
miralty staff officer Of the German high
seas fleet. Later he was stationed at
Berlin and served on the immediate
staff of Admiral Won Tirpitz. secretary
Of the navy. The Emden was the first
ship over which he had full command.

For the second time in his career
John Arbuthnot Fisher, Baron Fisher
Of Kilverstone, has been called upon
to fill the position Of first sea lord Of
the admiralty in Great Britain's navy.
Born in 1871 and entering the navy ut
the age Of thirteen, he rose to be first
sea lord. This was in 1904. He retir-
ed from active service in 1910. He is
not popular in the service, because he
is a strict disciplinarian, but his work
has won admiration.
It has been said of Lord Fisher that
he stands in the same relation to the
British navy that Lord Kitchener does
to the army. More than to any other
n man, the present efficiency Of the
British navy is due to him. When
Fisher was appointed first sea lord in
1904 he proceeded to shake things up
in a way that by many was regarded
as revolutionary. He divided the eff
fective war fleet into two-one in COM
mission at sea. the other in commits
sion in reserve. Then he massed most
of the battleship strength in the North

al battle would be fought in those wa
tiers rather than in the Mediterranean.
His next step was to scrap every nav
al vessel that was not up to date. In
the first three months Of 1905 no few
er thar 120 of such vessels were class
ed as obsolete.
AS a fighter he has had wide expert
ence. He fought in the Crimean war, the
China wal Of $4,000 and at the bonn
bardment of Alexandria. The son o.
an obscure man, he attained the high
est rank in the service, where aristo-
cratic influence counts for much, on
merit alone. His father was a captain
in the Seventy-eighth H~ighlanders, who
settled in Ceylon. Lord Fisher visited
the United States four years ago to at
tend the wedding Of his son to Miss
Jane Morgan of Philadelphia.

TOOK ADvAh TAGE OF ERROR.
He Saw That Umpire Was Not Look
ing When Hit Was Made and Batter
Had to Face Pitcher Again-One
Former Giant Who Shared In Worlds
Series Money-Jack Dunn's Profits.

They are saying in baseball circles
that it was Il single move made by
Pat Moran, the new manager of the
Phillies, a little more than a year ago
that gave Mr.. Baker the idea Of max
ing him manager.
This nov was in the famous game
wherein Harry Mccormick made a
single and won the game from the
Phillies only to be made to come back
and bat ove because Umpire KLEIN
was not looking. Doom was catching
and, with his back to the umpire, did
not know that Klein was not looking.
He gave Alexander the signal to pitch
and Mccormick hit the ball.
From the bench Moran, then work
ing as Il coach, saw the technical mis-
take and Immediately appealed to the
umpire. Mr.. Klein promptly allowed
his claim. When Mccormick was
made to bat owe he hit into Il double
play, and the Giants did not win.
Ever since that day Mr.. Baker has
kept in mind Moran's exhibition of
quick thinking, and at last has found
Il chance to reward him.
A lot of sympathy, it seems, has
been wasted on Jack Dunn. the squeak
ing waller of Baltimore. Dunn prob
ably made more money last season
than any other club owner in the In
ternational league. With sales Of play
ers and receipts from exhibition games
Dunn has made hay while the sun
shone, while other international mag
mates, having only regular attendance
to depend upon. are all badly in the

1t has been officially reported and
confirmed by this time that the Giants
received no part of the world series
booty, yet there is one player who was
paid a full share.
The name of this player does not ap-
pear among the list of eligibles of
either the Braves or the Athletics. and
as 4 matter of fact he received his
worlds series money way back in the
spring Of the year. Claude Cooper OF
the Brookfeds was the lucky man.
Robert NJ. Ward offered the outfelder
a tempting contract, and Cooper was
just about to accept when he was sud
denly seized by an idea.
Hold on said the player. How
about my worlds series money? You
know the Giants are sure to get in on
that"
"Well, what would your share bc?o
inquired MI. Ward.
AT least $4,000" answered Cooper.

would you rather wait until after the
