The Client Won His Own Case “'hen the Lawyer Failed. “I went into a country district in Maryland a few days ago to try a case,” said a \Vashingtou attorney. “I appeared for the plaintiff, and it must be confessed that the evidence failed to establish his claim. I pre- sented the matter before the Justice of thePeace 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. When 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 thekind of a man to kick up a rumpus and sue a fellow unless he has done me° wrong?’ “if; too? just five minutes for-.1130 Jus- Zce to decide for the plaintiff.”— \V;...liingteu Star. BEQUEST OF A BIRTHDAY. A Generous Gift from a Large-Hearted and Sympathetic Friend. The following charming,r 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 novelists. 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 1ch, to be hers from this year as long as she wishes it.—Ilobert Louis Stevenson.” The little girl‘s (le- light at this rare and most welcome gift has shown itself regularly once a year for several years past, and new the anniversary will be doubly treas- ured. COSTL‘xfi CHARCOAL THREAD. It is the llIost Expensive Product in the “’orld. As :1 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 do- sires his name to remain unknown in order to better protect ,the secret of- ma'nufacturc. 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 312.000 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 ll ”it that it would re- quire nearly ‘..‘»1,;;l,000 of then: 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 liuickerbockers. The. women servants in the house of a titled English woman now go about their duties in knickerbockers. Lady llarberion. the noble pioneer who has accomplisbml this transformation, is at the head of the Rational Dress League of England. She has long: bcen famous in that country for her divided skirts and her advanCed opin— ions on many subjects. .ady liarbcrton has favored the world with her reasons for introduc- ing this reform into her household. in the lirst 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 “’om'i'm'ful Lock. - Long ago a skillful craftsmanbrought out a singularly ingenius contrivancc —_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 be opened. ‘ Noa‘fiwonder that a well-aecredite<.l man of God to whom this wonderful lock was shown exclaimed. “Oh. that I could put such a lock as this upon my heart!"——llarper's Bazar.
