WAS NOT "COURT OF RECORD"
Rural J. p. Explains Why He Burned
Up Papers in Cases Which Were
Tried Before Him.

There was a time, and it is not so
far back in memory, when Justice Nc

ney there arose a case in which the
testimony of a rural justice of the
peace was necessary, the case having
had it's inception in his court.
After asking the usual questions as

"Well, you must have had such pa

Privileges Of ConsuIs.

Consuls do not occupy the same IA
yored position as diplomatic agents in

business is not with affairs between
state and state, but VITA protecting
the interests of individuals in for

JOY several of the immunities of pub
lie minister, they do so as courtesy.
not as right.
All civilized custom, however, Sc
cures them a safe-conduct, and their
napers and in many cases the consular
pujldIngs are held inviolable. In prac-
nee, though not by law, consuls them
selves gre not subject to arrest, save
rnr serious crime, and this exception
nolds good also in the case of 6iplo-
mats, though these would probably
only be detained until taken into their
own country's custody.

How's Your Hearth

1t is known that perfectly sound
heart is not necessary to fuccessful
athletics. A heart that is originally
weak will, when properly trained,
sometimes carry a man successfully
through a severe athletic contest. New
ertheless, such a heart will not carry
him very far on the Marathon course
against the Grim Reaper.
A careful study made by men who
have been strenuously athletic in early
life shows that the benefits derived
Scarcely compensate for the dangers
incurred. 1t appears that athletes are
quite as susceptible to infectious dis
ease as others, and that they die from
heart disease, tuberculosis, typhoid fe-
yer or pneumonia, just as do their less
strenuous brothers.
Feats of strength and endurance are
particularly harmful to young persons
and should be carefully regulated and
supervised in all schools. 1t should be
made a fixed rule that no boy be al
lowed TO compete in contests If his
beart gives the least evidence Of weak.

Bravery of Women,

The bravery of women in fight is no
new thing in Europe. GuiZot, in his
"History of France from the Earliest
Times to 1848," in telling of a battle
fought by the Romans, under Marius,
near AK, on the borders of the COenuS,
against Ambrons and the Teutons,
wrote: "The battle lasted two days,
the first against the Ambrons, the sec
ond against the Teutons. Both were
beaten in spite of their savage bravery
and the equal bravery of their women,
who defended, with indomitable Obsti-
macy, the cars with which they had re-
mained almost alone in charge of the
children and the booty. After the wOm-
en- it was necessary to exterminate the
hounds, who defended their masters
bodies. Here again the figures of the
historians are absurd, although they
differ. The most extravagant raise the
number of barbarians slain to 100000
and that of the prisoners to $4,000 ;
the most moderate stop at 100000. In
any case the carnage was great, for
the battle field, where all these corpses
rested without burial rotting in the
sun and rain, got the name of Campi
Futridi, or Fields of PutrefcatiOn, a
name traceable even nowadays in that
of Pourrieres, a neighboring village"

PICK YOUR MATE AT DANCE!
If You Find Partner Who Is in Rhythm
With You, She Is Your Affinity,
Says Harvard Professor.

If you are looking for the right girl,
mister, why not try one Of those an
cient temples of Terpischore which
flourish in the bright lights. asks a
Cambridge (Mass.) correspondent of
the New York Herald, for Dudley A.
Sargent of Harvard says affinities are
often brought together through the
whirl of the dance?
Speaking before a body of dancing
teachers, DIR. Sargent declared:
"When a young man finds himself IN
rhythm with just one girl and finds
that he cannot dance with any other
partner, he has found his rhythmic
mate; he would better stop and think
there are such things as rhythmic af-
finity.
81 can tell woman's temperament
as soon as I see her dancing. She can
not hide her coarseness or her refine

MANY NEW PAPER PROCESSES
Process of De-Inking Old Newspapers
so They May Be Used Again Has
Been Evolved.

Two of the more recent develop
ments in the crusade to bring down
the high cost of paper have been the
the tests for making newsprint from
old papers and further consideration
Of the subject of producing fbrous
pulp from cotton stalks, the Wall
Street Journal states.
A process of de-inking old newsprint
has been evolved by Dr. Thomas Jes-
person of Neenah, Wis. Doctor Jes-
person has invented a solution which
successfully removes the ink from old
paper and bleaches it a pure white.
The ink used in printing newspapers
Is largely constituted of lamp black
and various oils.
Although it has been generally
known for years that chlorine would
accomplish this de-inking process, no
attempts, prior to Doctor JespersOn's s
experiment, are known to have been
made to introduce this system as a
commercial factor. About 5000 tons
of newsprint are consumed daily in
the United States in the printing of
newspapers. The old papers are gen.
orally sold to paper manufacturers
as old stock. Every paper mill has
number of girls in its employ who
assort the old papers received, and
about three tons daily are thrown
aside. This castoff material is now
used in the manufacture of cheaper
grades of paper, boxboard, etc.
A mill at Neenah has made paper
by reducing such castOff paper to pulp
after it has been bleached. Paper
made by this method, using the de-
linking substance has been used by
some small newspapers, who report
that it is apparently not different from
the brand-new material. The subject
of manufacturing pulp for paper from
cotton stalks has come up repeatedly
in the past and has been under con-
sideration by chemists in Germany as
well as the United States department
of agriculture.
A meeting was held recently in the
Office of the state commissioner of ag-
riculture to consider the advisability
of using stalks from Texas cotton
fields for this purpose. Texas annual
ly has about 100000 acres sown to
cotton, and stalks in this area have
an estimated weight of 100000 tons,
which would be available for paper
manufacturing

Handmade Chains.

In this day of machine manufacture,
1t will perhaps surprise some to learn
that the making of big chains is large
ly, if not entirely, confined to methods
dependent ON hand labor. There are
probably no big chains being made in
the United States by the use of ma
chinery. There are various appli-
ances employed, but these are hand Op-
Grated or personally controlled. This
situation appears to be due to two
things: First, as the proverbial eX-
preston has it, "a chain is no stronger
than the weakest of its links" A
handmade chain is naturally made
link by link. If the workmen are not
only careful, but conscientious as to de-
tails, there is considerable opportunity
for attention equivalent to continuous
inspection. The making of big chains
is largely an old-time blacksmith's job.

The Broccoli Plant.

If the man who succeeds in grow
ing two blades of grass where only one
grew before is one of the greatest
benefactors Of mankind, what shall be
said of him who is able to produce six
or eight heads of the cabbagelike brOc-
coli where only one grew previously,
and, what is more, has made the plant
a perennial?
That is what an English horticultur-
list recently achieved. A writer in
Chambers journal tells of one of these
new plants from which the grower cut
fifteen heads six or seven inches in
diameter.
The broccoli should be of inestimable
value to the small gardener, especially
If he happens to have an odd corner
where he can let the plants grow undis-
turbed. Once they become established
they assume the proportions of young
bushes, and throw out their heads in
all directions. They demand very lit
tie wedding; and as their roots thrust
themselves deep into the soil, they are
rot appreciably affected by dry wealth
er. In the spring, as soon as the shoots
begin to run, the plant needs some
thinning but there is no waste, for the
shoots when cooked form an appetizing
dish of the flavor of asparagus.
The fact that to cut q massive
heads from dozen plants is no un-
usual achievement gives an idea of the
prolific yield of this novelty among
