The Client Won His Own Case “’hon the Lawyer Failed. “I went into a country district in Maryland a few days ago to try a, case,” said a Washington attorney. “I appeared for the plaintiff, and it must he confessed that the evidence failed to establish his claim. I pre- sented the matter before the Justice of the Peace in the best light I knew how, but had very little hope of secur- ing the verdict. My client, when I‘ finished, whispered to me that he would say a few words if I were will- ing, and, considering the case lost, I consented. It was the most unique speech I ever heard and it won the case. He said: “ 'Squire, I brought this suit, and the evidence, except my own, is against me. I don’t accuse any one of lying, ' Squire, but the witnesses are the most mistaken lot of fellows I ever saw. You know me, Squire. Two years ago you sold me a horse for sound that was as blind as a hat. I made the trade and stuck to it, and this is the first time I have mentioned it. “men you used to buy grain, you stood on the scales when the empty wagon was weighed, but I never said a word. Now, do you think I am the kind of a man to kick up a rumpus and sue a fellow unless he has done me wrong?’ . “It feel: just five minutes for the Jusilce to decide for the plaintiff.”— \\'1'-.,-shington Star. BEQUEST OF A BIRTHDAY. A Generous Gift from a Large-Hearted and Sympathetic Friend. The following charming story is told of the late Robert Louis Stevenson. He,- was visiting a friend, afterwards con?! sul to Samoa, in Northern .Vermont. This gentleman had a little daughter about eleven years old, who very speedily became a devoted friend of the novelist’s. In pouring forth her joys and sorrows in existence, she con- fided to Mr. Stevenson the Woeful fact that she was born on the 29th of Feb- ruary, and therefore had enjoyed only two birthdays in all her eleven years. The poet sympathized not only in 'com- forting words, but also in action. He meditated for a few moments, then 'went to her writing desk and drew up the following document—“I, Robert Louis Stevenson, in a sound state of mind and body, having arrived at that age when I no longer have any use for birthdays, do give and bequeath my birthday, in the 13th of November, to Miss Adelaide Ide, to be hers from this year as long as she wis es it.—Robert Louis Stevenson.” The little girl’s de- light at this rare and most welcome gift has shown itself regularly ‘once a year for several years past, and now the anniversary will be doubly treas- ured. COSTLY CHARCOAL TH READ. It is the Most Expensive Product in the World. As a matter of curiosity United States Consul Morris at Ghent reports to the State Department that the most expensive product in the world is the charcoal thread employed for incan- descent lamps. It is for the most part manufactured at Paris and comes from the hands of an artist who de- sires his name to remain unknown in order to better protect the secret of manufacture. It is by the gramme that this product is sold at wholesale. In reducing its price to the basis of pounds, it is easily found that the fila- ments for lamps of twenty candles are worth $8.000 per pound, and that for lamps of thirty candles they are worth $12,000 per pound. The former have a diameter of twenty—thousandths of one millimeter, and the latter four and one-half thousandths of a milli- metre. The filaments of lamps of three candles are so light that it would re- quire. nearly 1,500,000 of them to weigh a pound. As the length of each of them is ten centimetres, their total length would be 187 miles.—-New York Journal. ' ' Servants in Knickerbockers. The women servants in the house of a titled English woman now go about their duties in knickerbockers. Lady Harberton, the noble pioneer who has accomplished this transformation, is at the head of the Rational Dress League of England. _ She has long been famous in that country for her divided skirts and her advanced opin— ions on many Subjects. Lady Harbcrton has favored. the world with her reasons for introduc- ing this reform into her household. In the first. place, she says that bifucated garments are good for all women, but particularly so for domestic servants. The nature of their work makes skirts a peculiar form of slavery for them. A \V and e rful Lock. Long ago a skillful craftsman brought} out a singularly ingenius contrivance ——a lock formed of rings. Upon each - ring certain letters were inscribed. This strange piece of mechanism could be turned until the letters represented the name Jesus, and only when this had been attained could the lock luv opened. No wonder that a well-accredited, man of God to whom this wonderful lock was shown exclaimed, “Oh, that 1 could put such a lock as this upon my heartl”.—Harper's Bazar. , Love Accompllslles li'Iucli.
