Pearls.

The use and popularity of pearls date back to about 300 B. C., but they were known to yet older peoples. and espe- cially to those of the east. The Chinese records go still farther back, and Oys- ter pearls were received as tribute in the twenty third century R. c. It Is probable that they were found in the waters of CeyloD and India 2.OO0 years ago. and the Greeks of course both knew and recognized the value of the pearl. But 1t was not until the Roman empire was beginning to rise that the knowledge of the value of the pearl became general.

GERMAN CIVIL COURTS.
Mode of Procedure Where Commercial

Mode of Procedure Where Commercial
 Cases Are Tried.
 The 'handeIsgericht," or commercial court, is presided over by one judge and two laymen known as "handels, richter'-commercial judges nominat ed by commercial bodies and appoint ed by the government. Any German Is eligible who is registered as mer chant, thirty years old, and otherwise qualified as specially provided by law. Only commercial cases are sent to this department upon motion of either par ty. I witnessed trial between mer chants and was much pleased with the speedy method of determining the case.
 Instead of submitting technical busi- ness questions to a jury, who in all probability never heard of the like be- fore, and then offering the testimony of experts on each side of the case which often has a tendency to con fuse the jury rather than to enlighten them. the German commercial judges possess personal experience in bust ness and skill in affairs of commerce of the greatest value in arriving at correct conclusions. Besides, the pro- cedure. as a rule. is brief and to the point and causes little delay to the litigants. So far as could observe. this system worked very satisfactorily. Fred Fl.

 Anyhow. he said to himself after. ward, what's kiss! 1t oughtn't to take such mere fOrmality to con- vince of his love and trust the woman he has made the mistress of his home, the mother of his children. pshaw. The chances are she never noticed the omission So why should he worry!

HOT SHOT FIRED AT JUDGE
O'NEILL BY FORMER
SUPPORTER.

One OF the strange oddities in
the news this week is the state
ment given out by some of the
anxious friends of Judge Charles
A. O'Neill. that he would likely
be a candidate for governor of
Louisiana.
Everybody has the right to run
for any Office within the gift of
the people, but it is the majority
of the votes that win in the end.
When Judge O'Neil was a candi-
date for the Breaux succession
on the supreme bench, The
Waterman stood for him, and he
won, but that time has passed.
He received the best effort that
this paper could put forward, but
we do not intend to swing the
whole circle by asking the people
to give him another Office when
he has twelve year grip on the
one he has.
People have the right to do
their own choosing, and we are
going to do it i'm this instance
and every other. We think that
Judge O'Neill would make the
most serious 'blunder Of his life
to give up the exalted position
has for one loaded with dyna-
mite and which can only be
possibility of the future, with
lot an element of certainty at
ached to it.-Franklin Watch
