A NEW JERSEY SOLOMON.
Easily Bottled Dispute Concerning
Ownership of Hens.
Magistrate Jormon onco spont a
itiroincr In n llttlo town In South
JcrHoy and made tho acquaintance of
a Justico of tho peace who held mora
offices than Pooh Dah himself, "Ho
wan," Bays Jormon, "a notary public, i
a storekeeper, superlntfendcnt of tho
Sunday school, n lay preacher, post
master, coroner, a farmer and a few
mora things thnt I can't recall now.
Ho was a shrewd old fellow, as a
decision in a caso that I heard will
go to show. Two farmers had a dis
pute about the ownership of somo
poultry, and ench plcadod his own
case. Each sldo had an equal num
ber of witnesses and thore was somo
tall swearing dono all round. If I had
been sitting on tho caso I would have
given it up nts a bad Job, or sent it to
court for trial. Dut that's Juat what
bo didn't do.
"I forgot to state that in addition to
all his other functions ho was IiIb own
countable. Tho hens were in court
In a coop and he ordered that a con
stablo should take tho coop to tho
roadway opposite tho farms of tho liti
gants and turn tho creatures loose.
And ho did tho job himself and got his
feo for doing it The lions settled tho
caso by going directly to one of tho
farms, and tho Justico declared that
they know thoir way home, and gavo
Judgmont accordingly." Philadelphia

BOSTON LIKES 8ENATOR DANIEL.
Virginia Statesman Makes Distinct
"Hit" at the Hub.
Senator John Warwick Daniel of Vir
ginia was tho lion of the occasion at
tho recent dinner of the. Itoston Mer
chants' association. A Boston dally
declares that "from the moment tho
company was seated Mr. Daniel was
'the cynosure of all eyes. A certain
power radiated from his finely cut
countenance and somehow it seemed
as though where ho sat thero was tho
head of tho tablo. A genuine south
ron, a gentloman from Virginia, of tho
old stock, and of clearest titlo to tho
much-abused 'F. P. V.,' with all tho
graces and outward marks of that dis
tinction. With Good Effect.
It was at a clmmbor concert by a
famous string quartet, says tho Chica
go Journal, nnd tho two largo hatted,
chatty persons of tho matinco typo
who eat directly boforo tho music lov
ers wero so communicative as to their
affairs and those of nil their acquaint
ances thnt tho recital was of small
pleasure to the appreciative and long
Buffering couple directly in tho rear of
the conversatlonalisti,, "I am sorry
we could not havo heard moro of your
conversation," tho patient palo lovor
of muslo wrote on tho margin of his
program, "but tho violinist has Incon
siderately been making himself heard
from time to time. I nm sure, how
over, If you speak a llttlo louder he
will understand nnd give way to you."
"I would like to drop that in their
laps," he said, passing It to his com-
panlon with u savage gleam in his
eye. "but I don't quite dare."
"1 do, then," said the mild-voiced
young woman at his side, and in somo
sudden and Inexplicable manner tho
paper appeared beforo the eyes of tho
voluble persons before her. They
looked wrathfully behind them, only
to encounter a row ot Immobllo faces,
all eyes raptly regarding tho stage.
Thoy glared to the right and to the
loft of them, with no moro satisfac
tory results. Then they Bulked, which
had the desired effect, and the remain
der of tho evening was a distinct suc
cess in their vicinity.
The Wild Duck.
You love the mud flats where the wave

The llashlne mirror of the nllver lake
Where in the breeze the golden reed

make
You haste to travel inland from the
coast.
But lusty strength your whistling pin

As through the clouds your marshalled
flight you take.

yard
Scavenging placidly tho livelong day.
How like nnd yet how different you arel
Your twinkling eye Is ever on Its guard,
A distant human speck and you'rt

THE HARDINESS OP TREES.
6atd to Depend Largely on Where
Seeds Come From.
An expert nurseryman says tho
hardiness or nonhardiness of trees de
pends largely upon where tho seeds
from which the trees in question
sprang came from. Satisfactory re
sults are seldom experienced by
planting n seed obtained from the
Sunny South, say. IJy planting seeds
gradually further north, however,
trees may be at length hardened and
acclimated until a seed from such a
tree may be reasonably expected to
thrive nnd mature its fruits.
Trees, llko people, acquire their
habits from tho climate in which they
live. Tho northern tree knows in
stinctively when the time has como
to ripen" its fruit The southern tree
follows tho same instinct, being n no
hurry, as there is little likelihood of
real cold. With transplantlngs further
north its habits changes.
Tho great trouble with most people
is that they want to Jump n tree
from South to North at one move.
This samo Idea is evident in tho at
tempt to bring .various fruit trees
from Russia to the northern United
States.

FOR ECONOMY ON RAILROADS.
Effective System Recently Introduced
by James J. Hill.
James J. Hill has Introduced a new
economy on the railroads which ho
controls. Each engine has a tab kept '
on Its daily employment and against
it is charged every cent used for oil,
fuel, repairs and operation. Thus if
englno 200 Is found to be costing more
than engine 250 tho engineer of tho
i
former Is asked to explain. Tho samo
plan Is to bo extended to every car on
tho system. Then the conductors and
englnemen who mako tho best show
ing are to have bonuses.
Tight Clothes Cause Distress.
Some of the most eminent physl
clans in tho world declare with em
phasls that tight gloves, shoes and I
clothing havo a tendency to causo
colds and a great deal of suffering
during tho winter, no matter how
warmly a person may be clad. Ho
says: "Tight Bhoes on anyone's feet
will nrrest the circulation! and while,
of courHo, tho foot might not freeze,
It has no chance to get warm, and
thus Invites the cold, with a good pos
sibility of pneumonia stepping In to
chnrgo uji moro trouble to the tight
shoes. Tho same thing Is true, though
In a leseor degree, of tight gloves on
tho hands, and a tight collar or tight
neckband on a shirt is apt to causo
a cold in the head by interfering with
the veins in tho discharge of their
duties. Shoes and gloves that fit
snugly ought to bo worn in tho win
ter, but thoso that are tight are abso
lutely dangerous, extremely so be-
cnuso tho general public knows so
llttlo about It."

HOW IT IS GOVERNED.
Child Gives New Facts About District
of Columbia.
Commissioner Macfarland was the
chief speaker at tho dedication of a
new public school building in tho
northern section of the city. Most of
the pupils who were gathered in tho
big hall on tho first floor to sing the
national anthems and hear the ridvlco
of their elders fero quite young, and
the commissioner undertook to nmuso
them with a little story of a former
experience in a Washington public
school. Thi3 is what ho said:
' "Ono day I was visiting a certain
grado in a certain school, and tho
teacher thero was so kind as to ask
mo to question the children, so that
I could find out how much thoy know.
I didn't much relish being teacher
oven for a fow minutes, but, chlldron,
you don't know what, it Is to bo a com
missioner; I Just had to do it.
1 "Well, I stood up In front, and I
said:
" 'Who can tell mo how tho District
ot Columbia is governed?'
"It seemed as if tho question woro
too hard, and I was sorry I had asked
it, because tho teacher had been so
i anxious to have her pupils 'show off'
before me. Then d little bit of a
girl raised her hand timidly.
"'Well, how is it governed, my lit
tle girl?' I asked, reassured.
I " 'Pleaso, sir, the District Is govern
ed by threo missionaries, and one of
them belongs to the engineer corpse.'
"That was news to me, you know,
and I had to resign my position to tho
real teacher, I was so surprised.'

Mine Drainage Planned.
Mine drainage operations In South
Staffordshire, England, by which 40,
000,000 tons of coal may bo won from
flooded pits, are now contemplated
These mines havo been flooded for a
quarter of a century. The coal area
has been split up into various owner
sTiips, nnd before n drainage commis
sion came into existence each owner
was supposed to pump tho water from
his own pits. Somo of them failed to
do this and in tho end all of the pits
woro abandoned. A drainage commis-
sion has obtained power to pump out
the pits and has secured a loan of
$500,000 to do it with. Tho project Is
an extensivo and difficult one, but
.mining experts declare that It offers
no obstacles which modern engineer
ing resources are unablo to conquer.
Tho ro-startlng of tho mlnos menns a
large access of property to a district
thnt stands in urgent need of it, and
the prospect of restoring this long
abandoned Industry has created great
interest in tho neighborhood.

A Yankee Trade.
The old Yankee skill at driving a
bargain Is not being lost. A woman
visitor at a fashionable resort on the

visitor turned and thanked tho person,
saying as she was to attend that
church all summer she would like to
buy a hymn book. "Well," said tho
other woman, "I guess you can have
that book if you'll give me a pair of
black gloves, No. 7." Very well,"
said the visitor. The noxt day she

"Oh, yes, you're prominent enough,
but I'd like to caution you about one
thing."
"What's that?"
"For the purposes ot publication,
don't recollect anything about promi
nent men now Hying."
"But they're just the people I want
to write about. Those are the kind
of reminiscences that will mako the
book sell."
"Oh, well, suit yourself, but remem

"What's tho danger?"
"Why, Just as soon as you begin to
recollect things about them they will
begin to recollect things about you."
"I hadn't thought of that," remarked
