The judiciary

The Louisiana Bar Association, at its
recent convention, discussed the Judicial
system Of the state. 1t made some recon-
mendaticns and submitted some propositions
to the consideration Of q special committee.
Every four years we have discussion
of this same proposition, the repetition Of
which discussions has convinced a great
many citizens lhat there must be something
Fundamentally wrong with the organiZatiC n
of our courts or in connection with the pro-
ceeGingS therein.
One would Judge that the question is
intricate and complex, when, as . matter
o. fact, there is nothing complicated about
the subject. The system, as now estab-
lished, provides for reasonably cheap trial
courts with appellate courts 50 constituted
as to harmonic the juris prudence from the
lowest to the highest courts.
The only question that can form the
basis of argument is whether or not the
system calls to the bench properly qualified
legal talent and whether the Judges thus
called have work enough TO keep them en-
ployed
If the Judges are overworked the num-
Der should be increased. If they are under
worked the districts should be enlarged.
The salary should be large enough TO secure
the good men.
The value Of the judiciary depends on
the type of the men selected and not upon
the terms of the system.

To change the officials from a COM

TO be one of the first objects Of the legisla-

but little objection to the change if it pro-

TALK AT NANTUCKET.

Where Old Salt Sea Phrases Come AZ
Natural as Eating.
There has always been a charm
about Nantucket for outsiders because
Of the sleepy quaintness Of the place
and the islanders odd sea phrases so
generously interlarded in their conver-
SatiOns. These phrases are so much a
part of their talk that their use is un-
conscious.
They never pull. they always haul"
they do not tie or fasten anything,
they ...splice" or ''belay" it; they do not
arrange TO fix thing. they rig it, or
rig it up" they do not throw any
thing away. but "heave it overboaFd;;"
they back and dll;;" they fluff"
tack, come about" and square

Before engaging in any venture they
first '.see if the coast is clear" then as
they proceed they keep the weather
eye peeled" and always look out for
squalls" Then they sound it out un'
ill they "fathom" it. If they don't
aike the ''lay of the land" they give it
a wide berth.
All this is according to THE Nan
quicker Scrap Basket" a book complied
and edited by William F. Macy and
Roland B. Hussey.
The authors tell the story of certain
Quaker mother of Nantucket. who once
denied that she ever used any Of the
nautical expressions so common there.
and told her children to remind her if
they ever caught her doing it. The very
next morning she gave them some eggs

PICKED AN ODD NAME.
An Author Had a Long Search and
Then Faced Surprise.

An Author Had q Long Search and
Then Faced Surprise.
When Albion W. Tourgee wrote "a
Fools Errand" be named one Of, his
leading characters Theron Pardee. An
early copy Of the book fell into the
hands Of the Rev. Luther Pardee, an
Episcopal clergyman Of Chicago, whose
father was named Thereon Pardee.
The name is such an unusual COM
bination that in amazement the rector
showed the book to his father, and
they were both puzzled by the coinci-
dence. They decided to write Judge
Tourgee and ask him what had led him
to use the name.
He replied, in equal amazement, that
he had not supposed there was such a
man living as Theron Pardee. Then he
stated that he had prolonged search
for suitable name for the character
of his story-one that would express
just what he imagined this character
to be.
In the course of the hunt an old copy
Of the curriculum of Union college had
fallen INTO his hands. It was dated
1925. or something as far back. and
among the names Of the students was
one Thereon Pardee.
The judge said it had impressed him
as being one Of the richest. most solid
and most satisfying names he ever had
heard. so he decided to adopt it for his
character The curriculum was so old
that he had no hesitation in using the
name, and he was astonished to learn
that the rightful owner of it was liV-
ing.
His explanation was accepted, and
the resulting acquaintance was pleas
ing all around.

For TESTING Gold.

The acid used by jewelers. for testing
gold is extremely powerful and has to
be very carefully handled. To pre-
vent any considerable quantity of the
acid being spilled specially construct
ed bottle is employed. The stopper of
this is made of glass and contains a
long pointed glass rod which passes
down the center of the bottle. When
an article Of jewelry is to be tested
the stopper is simply removed, and
t1e article is touched with the point OF
che glass rod. to which very slight
quantity OF acid has adhered. Gold is
not affected by the acid. but imitation
metal turns green.

TWO DANGEROUS HABITS.
Don't Scratch, Even With Clean Nails,
and Don't Pinch.

and DonT FlncN.
Scratching oneself and picking at
pimples or sore spots are dangerous
habits. likely to result in infections
more or less serious. This is proved
by examination of the scrapings Of
nails under the microscope. Even
hands and nails that are kept scrupu-
lously clean by washing and brushing
are not free from the germs of skin
diseases.
DR.. Albert Schneider Of San Fran
cisco reports to the Journal Of the
American Medical Association the re-
suits of the microscopic examination OF
the scrapings Of the nails Of 143 stu
dents in a surgical college. There We're
found bacilli. cocci and spirillae OF
many sorts. especially those that pro-
duce pus.
These facts. be points out, may be Of
great importance in criminal trials.
DR.. Schneider cites one case in which
man was accused Of killing a baby.
In the sc-apings Of bis nails were
found the "frustules Of fresh water
diatoms and few 6laments Of oscilla.
ria" This led to the suspicion that be
had buried his victims body in a
marsh. Careful search Of the banks of
marshy stream near by disclosed the
little corpse.
Dr.. Schneider says such diseases as
lupus, acne, boils and carbuncles are
traceable to scratching. Nail hters
frequently infect themselves.
There is the case Of the husband "
he writes, whose neck on the left side
was never long free from one or more
small pimples or boils, traceable to his
wife's habit Of playfully pinshing his
neck. He ascribed the trouble to
starched collars, but several changes in
the laundry brought no relief. During
the prolonged absence OF the wife on a
visit with relatives the trouble disap-
peared entirely to reappear again on
her return with a renewal Of the play

SsMADE MY BLOOD RUN COLD"
a Common Expression That States
Physical ImpossibiIity.

a Common Expression That States a
Physical Impossibility.
~AIy blood runs cold at the very
Thought" is not a novel expression.
You often either hear some one else
say it or aver it yourself.
Your blood cannot run cold as long
As you are alive and well. If the blood
really becomes colder than blood
heat" something serious happens to
your health.
When you feel cold it is a sensation
not necessarily the temperature Of the
tissues. Often with the blood feverish
ror away above its normal warmth you
feel chilly. So much Of the suDerheat-
ed blood IS then at the surface Of the
skin that an extra normal amount Of
neat leaves too quickly.
On the other hand. men and women
who drink beer, gin. whisky and SINH
lar alcoholic beverages feel the glow
of warmth" and believe they are hot
when as u matter Of course their blood
Is a trife below blood heat tempera-
tureat times manifeStly dangerous
thing.
True enough, the blood has Euch to
do with how you feel This, however,
Is not because it blows bot or blows
cold" but because that part Of 1t in
the skin where the sensations Of heat
and cold are located reflects tba out
side surroundings according to the pre-
,vious experience and habits Of each in
