StenoQrapher Extraordinary

Two members of the bar were trying replevin suit in the superior court recently and in the course of the trial got into sharp wrangle-as lawyers sometimes do-over the admission of a certain piece of evidence. The wrangle resolved itself into an oral battle in which both lawyers tried to talk at once.
 They spoke in loud tones and at a rapid-fire gait. When the smoke had cleared away and the case was over they were quite surprised to learn ttdt the court stenographer had been able to get down in his book every word they had said, despite the fact they were both talking at the same time. The clerk of courts commented on the feat.
 "Oh," remarked one of the lawyers, that little chap could take down a hailstOrm and never miss a stone l"- Portland Express.

Fading ShrInes of Oriental SpIendor.
 To me, after revisiting the East etter an absence of ten years, 1t seems as if all its splendid past and all its present discomfort were record ed and symbolized in the imperial pal aces of Picking, Seoul and Tokyo. Ten years ago all three were the habita- tions of emperors, sacred spots from whose mysterious depths issued the edfcts whereat men trembled and obeyed. Today the Son of Heaven and the Lord of the Morning Calm have gone their ways, to join the company of kings in exile. Only his majesty of Tokyo remains, q dim, mysterious figure in the medieval secluson of Chiyoda, a picturesque survival of old Japan, like an idol in a shrine, a sort of living Buddha in the great new city throbbing with ma chinery.-J. o.
