‘ Complexlties of Law.

Soon after Jim’s admission as a
learned counsellor, an old neighbor to

give him a start gave him a lot of hard _

claims to collect, telling him he could
have half that was collected. Jim soon
received half that was due from one of
the debtors and was called on a little
later by his client for his share of the
money. “Your half,” said the astute
lawyer. “I didn’t collect your half. I
only collected mine.” The astonished
old patron said, “Why, Jim, I don’t
understand such proceeding.’ But the
lofty rgly was, “There is a heap of
law you don’ t understand. I tell you,
old fellow this law is a powerful
thing.”—Case and Comment.

The Lightest Known Solid.
- The lightest known solid is said to
be the pith of the sunflower, with a
specific gravity of .028, or about one-

 

'cighth that of cork. The sunflower is

extensively cultivated in central Rus-
sia, and various uses are served by its
different parts, the recent discovery of
the lightness of the pith essentially in-
creasing,the commercial value oLthe
plant. For life-saving appliances at
sea, cork has a bu‘oyancy of one to five,
while with the sunflower pith one to
thirty-five is attained. About eight

’ ELECTRICITY PHOTOGRAPHED:
Lord Armstrbné Accomplishcs What
Solentic‘ts Have Tried for Years.

Lord Armstrong, of England, has
succeeded in accomplsihing something
that scientists have tried in vain to do
for years—that is to photograph an
electric spark. It was done by placing
a camera and a. powerful electric ma-

chine in a darkened room. There was
a plate in the camera cover-
ed with a light fine powder,
which, when ,the spark was dis-

charged, would be drivenabout by the
electric streams and _the electricity
would thus give the lumin‘ou-sity whic.
would enable it to be caught in the act
of setting the dust in motion.

The photographs taken by Lord

no such thing as electric fluid. Elec-
tricity is a v01tex movement, like the
smoke-rings which the smoker blows
from his mouth. That is, electricity
moves round and round the "circumfer-
ence of a. ring, being sucked in by one
face of the ring and shot out by the
other.

One of the photographs taken by
'Lord Armstrong shows the electric cur-
rent when two opposite discharging
poles are brought near one another.
This shows a marked difference be-
tween the current at the positive and
negative poles—New York World.

BETTER THAN LIGHTNING RODS.

Leaves Are the Most Effective Conductor
of Electrioty.

The green leaf is the best conductor
of electricity ‘
destructive of all the forces, of the
earth. To guard our homes and pub-
lic buildings from its destructive ac-
;ion, We erect our lightning rods, whose
sharp points quietly drain the clouds,
or, failing to do this, receive the dis-
charge and bear it harmlessly to the
earth. But ages before Franklin point-
ed the first lightning rod to the storm,
God has surrounded the dwellings of
man with a protection far more effect-
ual than this for since the creation of

 

blade of grass have been-silently dis-
arming the clouds of their destructive
weapons.A twig covered with leaves,
sharpened by Nature’s exquisite work-
manship, is said to be three times as
effectual as the metallic points of the
best constructed rod. And when we re-
flect how many thousands of these veg-
etable points every large tree directs to
the sky and consider what must be the
efficacy of a single forest with its in—
numerable leaves, or of a single mead—
ow with its countless blades of grass,
we see how abundant the protection
from the storm ‘is,,and with what care
Providence has guarded us from the
destructive force—London Echo.

TOO INSIGNIFICANT TO NOTICE.

Amusing- “lay in Which a Goat Showed
Its Contempt.

While walking the streets some years
since, says a writer in Current Litera-
ture, my attention was attracted by a
loud barking, and then by the sight
of an immense Newfoundland dog
which had attacked a very large goat.
The goat stood“ strictly and warily on
the defensive, and was evidently alarm-
ed, though he bravely kept his ground,
until the dog, remembering some other
engagement, suddenly departed.

No sooner had he started than a lit-
tle whiffet of a dog that had been
~watching the scene with great interest
from the other side of the street dashed
furious across, and, to the extent of
his ability, emulated the example of the
Newfoundland. The goat surveyed him
for an instant, then deliberately turn-
lng his back, vigorous-1y butted an ad;
iacent awningpole with an expression
of great disgust. I did not hear what
Mark Twain calls "biblical language, ”
but no doubt the valiant warrior
would have used it had he been capa-
ble.

A Cemetery Story front-Blaine.

In a quaint old cemetery at Bass Har-
bor, Me., lies an aged couple who were
ioted in their life for their piety and
their active interest in meetings and
other good works. The old gentleman
nihis exhortatlon would often speak of
wearing the crown, while the old lady
often spoke of blossoming as the rose.
After the tombstones had been "erected
at their graves with their names and
ages duly chronicled thereon, there ap-
oeared on his tombstone distinctly out-
lined the figure of a crown, while on
here appeared the figure of a full blown
rose. The fact is well authenticated by
many people who have visited the cem-
stay on purpose to see this wonderful
sight. —Deer Island Gazette.

aloud if you choose, my son,” replied
the father, and, bowing his head sol-
emnly, the little fellow originated this
unique grace: “God have mercy on
these victuals.”—Hudson River.

Killing Rabbits for Their Fur.

Out on the plains they are killing
iack rabbits by the hundreds for the
fur hat trade. The rabbits are so
numerous on the Western Kansas
plains that they can be scared up by
the score simply by dragging over the
sod a long wire that will brush the
grasses. Behind this, as horses haul it

 

forward, come the hunters, and they

shoot the hares without mercy, filling
the wagons by the end of the day. The
skins are qouted as follows: Good
skins, 3 cents each; damaged, half
culls and pieces, 5 cents a
pound; cottontail rabbits, 3 cents a.
pound. 'lhe Kansas farmers are put-
ting in their time in this way and are
making money. .,

Success in Business; _
A Washington modlste, who enjoys-
the patronage of many fashionable

, women in the official set, said recently ,
i that she doted her suCceec
' from the time she hit-upon a little idea

exactly

that being a novelty immediately won
, “One night,” she-
went on to relate, “I was finishing up

I. gown for a senator’s daughter, and -.

though I had tried hard to please my
young lady, knowing if I succeeded it
would be the means of increasing my
buiness, the thought came to me that
if I could make 11p the package and
pond it home with some stamp of in-
dividuality about it, it would ‘be a

, feather in my cap. At that momenti

was sewing hang-loops on the waist,
and the great idea flashed through my
brain. I jumped up, seized a candle
and made. for the cellar. Arrived
there, I grasped a. hatchet andknocked
of a. barrel hoop. Dividing the hoop
in half, I hurried back up stairs with
my embroyonic waist holder. It did
not take me long to cover the curved
stick with some pieces of material left
from the gown and attach a ribbon
and bow.

and my customer was delighted.
Wasn’t it a happy idea? Why, I never
send a gown home now without a
pretty waist holder to match, and I put
sachet powder in the hangers to in-
crease their attractiveness. You have
no idea how quickly the. news spread
that “Miss ' was such a clever
dressmaker with such original ideas.“
I honestly believe my little barrel hoop
creation procured me my present large
business.”———Washington Star.

 

 

ORIGIN OF’THE CAKE WALK.

Formerly a Marriage Ceremony but Its
Significance Now Lost.

The cake-walk prope. had its origin
among the French negroes of Louis-
iana more than a. century ago. There
is little doubt that it is an offshoot of
some of the old French country dances.
It resembles several of them in form.
From New Orleans it spread ove1 the
enti1e South, and thence North. It
was found of convenience to the plan-
tation neg10.es
ded by license, and it- was se dom that
the services of a preacher were called
in. At a cake-walk a than might le-
gitimately show his preference for a

woman, and thus publicly claim her _—

for a wife. In effect the cake-walk
was not different from the old Scotch
marriage, whiCh required only public
acknowledgment from the contracting
parties. So this festival became in
some sense a wooing, an acceptance or
rejection and a ceremony. This ex-
plains its popularity with the blacks,
outside of its beauties, with the ac-
companiment of music, which is com-
petent at all times to command negro
support. Cake-walking has improved,

,as do most things that are constantly

practised. It has lost its old signifi-
cance in the South. Negroes now get
married, when they marry at all, in
white folks fashion. It has become,
however, a pantomime dance. Prop-
erly performed, it is‘a beautiful one.
The cake is not much of a prize,
though the negro has a sweet tooth.

HORSE WITH AN EYE FOR BUSINESS

01d Hector \Vouldn’t. Allow His Master’s
sickness to Stop \Vork. :-

A remarkable display of animal sag-
acity was given recently in Kensing-
ton by the horse driven by old Harry
Pindle, an itinerant coal dealer. Harry
has been a small dealer for years, and
many a bucket of coal he sells to cus-'
tomers of twenty years’ standing. Hec-
tor, the old bay horse, has been owned.
by Harry for several years, and, al-
though he is old and lame, the animal
serves his master well. Last week,
while out with a load of coal, Harry
was taken sick, and, leaving his six-
year—old— grandson on the wagon, he
went into a friend’s house to rest. Now,
Hector evidently got tired of waiting,
for when Harry, who had become very
sick, came out with his friend to be
driven home the team was gone. Late
that afternoon the grandson came
home with an empty wagon and ex-
plained that Hector had gone over the
regular route, and that the people who
had been waiting for their coal came
out and took what they wanted and
paid for it. Harry became very ill and
was confined to bed for over a week,
but. the supply of coal never'stopped,
as Harry’s oldest son would load the
wagon before going to work and the
