Piacinu the Defendant,

A legal journal says that a suit brought by n portly man against n lit tie man with hacking cough had gone to the jury. at which time it appeared from the evidence and the instructions of the court that the big man had won the case. After half an hour the jury was called and asked if verdict had been reached.
 No. your honor," replied the fore man. We only want to know which is the defendant and which k the plaintiff"
 '''The large man sitting over there iS the plaintiff. and the small gentleman here is the defendant" replied the judge.
 The jury filed back to the jury room. In few minutes they signaled that they had reached verdict. The judge received it and read:

The newspaper special, although al- ways the curcSt of the cute. is some times scored off by colleague. For instance Sir w. II. Russell represented the London Times at O'Connell's trial in Dublin.
 In those days the telegraph was un- known, and as his paper wanted to go enc better than the Morning Herald. its great rival. Russell hurried back to London by special boat and train i'm mediately the verdict was pronounced. As he got out of the cab in Printing House square man in shirt sleeves, apparently a printer from the Times. came up and exclaimed: 50 glad to see you safe over. sir. So they have found him guilty?" Yes, guilty. my friend replied Russell.

A Rapid Calculation Trick.

By means of simple arrangement of numbers a calculation can be made which will easily puzzle any unsus- pecting person. If the two numbers 41.O96 and S3 be written out in multi plication form very few will endeavor to write down the answer directly without first going through the regular work. By placing the 3 in front of the and the 8 back of the G the answer Is obtained at once, thus: 41 ,096xS3 equals 3.410,96S. A larger number which can be treated in the same way is the fol lowing: 41Oo, ,5S9, ,O41 ,096xS3 equals 341,- O95 800, 41O9GS.-Popular Mechanics.

Hollands Water Line.

The famous water line" of Holland is really the final line of defense which Holland would make use of should she be invaded.
 The water line" is a line about seventy miles long by seven to eight miles wide. It is flooded by means of special sluices and dykes so con structed that the whole of the line can be covered to a depth of foot and a half in two days.
 In tsn ordinary way this water is drawn from the Rhine. In case of great emergency, however, the sluiccs will also let free the waters of the Inyder Zee. These waters, however. would only be let loose in the last extremity because. being salt. they would do an immense amount of dam age to the land over which they flowed damage which would take years to repair.-LondOn Globe.

Shoes and Nerves.

Travellers say that the reason why nervous people don't exist in China iS because it is the custom to wear soft shoes there. There is no doubt that hard soled. creaking foOtgear is re- sponsible for such nervous wear and tear as well as physical fatigue in west ern lands.
 Tired feet and tired nerves will find solace in a warm foot bath with a handful of salt in it. Move the feet about or keep them still, as best pleaseS you. as long as the water is pleasantly warm: then dry them with a rough towel and put on q fresh pair of stock ings.-Family Doctor.

The shaft on the property Is down nearly one hundred feet and discloses an ore body of considerable dimensions Assays give the antimony content as practical ly sixty per cent and additional value of $21.60 in gold, silver and copper are also shown Although not developed to more than prospect stage, the mine has every appearance of being very valuable and is also the most easy of access of any of the antimony lodes so | far developed in the Nome precinct, as the shaft is scarcely a stones throw from the railroad track. Up to the present time no definite transaction has taken place but the owner has received
 some assurance that the outlook for leasing or sale is good.
