Kelly vs. People's JJank et als. l'Jaintiff began this suit by se zing a lottery ticket, one-twentieth of a whole ticket, which had won 813,000 and had been forwarded to the People's Hank for collection, and in which he claimed oue-fourth interest as owner. 13y consent, the ticket was cashed, and the unclaimed three-quarters were withdrawn, leaving the contested one quarter, which was also claimed by Jno. W. Fenlow utider coutrol of the court The parties live in St. Louis, and have been quite unfortunate. In 18'J1 Tenlow, Kelly, Norleman, O'Keefe and Connors formed a quasi club, and on tlirey or four occasions purchased live fractions ot loiter., tickets, said fractions costing SI each, and eac i member contributing his uroportion of the price, was equ illy interested in the winnings. FimiI'w generally was charged with purchasing the tickets, and held them until the drawing. The membeis usually paid their con tributions before the drawings, and Fenlow paid Die lottery ticket vendor. In April, lS'.i, they invested (Con nors had dropped out). All paid ex cept Kelly, who had agreed to pay his dollar on the day proceeding the draw ing. Tim tickets had been' selected by Norleman. There was no further in- ten' lurse between the members ot the ub until after the drawing on Tnes day, Atiril 12th, when it was learned that one of the four tickets had won $15,000. The tickets have been paid for by Follow, and the question for the court to decide is whether Fenlow paid for account of Kelly, one dollar or whether it was for his own account The day after the drawing Kelly tendered Ins dollar but was told that he was 'too late" and that he was "not in it." The court concludes that Fenlow gave Kelly to understand that he (Fen low) would see that. Kelly's interest in the ticket would be paid for. It is therefore ordered, adjudged and decreed that there be judgment in favor of John J. Kelly and against John W. Fenlow, decreering Kelly I have been the owner of an undivided one-fourth interest in the lottery ticket and that plaintiff receive and collect 3,750, representing the one-fourth ol the nroceeds of the lottery ticket now on deposit.

The i ree I'm Telia of a CoiupaalouskbU Fellow. The fiea which you've not when you haven't him is fairly nimble and act ive, but he is nothing in the line of ility compared to the cockroach. The latter is so elusive that you won der if he is real or fanciful. A cer tain cockroach bas annoyed the writer for a long time. It must be the same one, for he has an individuality mere is no mistaking. There are all kinds of cockroaches just, as there are all kinds of people. This cockroach is always de trop. He always appears at an inopportune moment, ltight in ttieclimax of an article he presents himself and of course distracts atten tion by his presence. It is remarka ble how obnoxious he makes himself, lie appears on th" corner of the desk and looks at you in his horrible fa miliar fashion. He does not present himself modestly and apologize for coii'ing, or resentment migni not oe sti strong. Hut he deliberately sitsin front of you and glares at you in the most itiMilting manner, almost as though tie were sneezing at the mae niflceiit thoughts which are being p a -ed on paper. He is such an old timer and he has seen so many mag- niUcent, thoughts! He has been 10:11 ing like this so long! He has seen others sitting at that desk and also penning magnificent thoughts. He i mo, t arrant cynic. The most tender path is that causes the tears of the writer to fall and blot the iagcs do not move him. He never changes countenance. He has seen other occupants seated there and is not moved by any kind of emotion. He has no patriotism and will look at the most fervid utterances un moved. He doesn't care whether che country is saved or not. hven a charming poem is not solace for his soul. As he sits there you resent his presence and aim at him a swift blow, but in an instant he, is gone. He is ac 'tistomed to dodging. He has been doing i hat for many generations. Poetry is his especial aversion, al- though he dislikes pathos exceedingly.. Once it is on record tnat he disap peared of his own free will. The writer at the moment of his noiseless entrance was about to write a poem in keeping with the season: "O. snow, snow, beautiful snow. Watch the whirling flakes as the g, 0, the suow the beautiful snow." Tiien for the first time he left the scene without dodging. lie disap peared as fast as he could scud and did not come again for a week. It was feared that he had expired be hind the debris above the desk, but one night he came and perched him self as usual on the corner of the desk. He looked rather thin and worn, but otherwise he seemed in good health. It takes a good deal to kill a cockroach. Some of the former occupants say that they have really hit him before he could get away, 1 ut he always got off and recovered in his lair. " His sense of humor is dead or sleep ing. A writer about ten years ago, however, wrote a joke that scintil lated. It pleased him so much that he read it aloud and roared. The ock ro ch heard it and even he could not resist it. At tlrst it merely tickled him, and then the more he thought about it, the better he liked it. He shook all over and finally got un on his hind legs and waved his arms and shouted. At least so the writer of the joke said and he was a truthful man! The cockroach quite approves of the introduction of the typewriter on the editorial and local staff of this paper. In the beginning he wondered a great deal, but now he has become reconciled to the change. He doesn't stay on the corner of the desk any onger, but clambers right up on tne machine. He anriears flr.it on one de and then on another. Ho likes 1 to watch tho copy evolved by this j means. His face expresses real inter est. It is not what is written that pleases him, for he is still a cynic in i that respect, but the clatter and noise iire amusing. Tie is very careful to dodge the blows of the type and so far he has escaped with his life. Whether fortune will favor him in tho future is, of course, a matter of mere conjec ture. Hcwever, he had better look mt or he will get hurt some ot these (lays. Hie Sliai-p People ot Cane Cod. A story ot sharp legislative prac tice comes from Cape Cod. It also illustrates the cumbrous methods of town government on that old-fashioned peninsula. Sonic of the citi sens of a certain town believed that they saw a remunerative enterprise in raising herrings in a fresh-water pond near the sea, with which it had once been connected by a small creek now filled up. Thereupon they pe titioned the legislature for a license to use the waters of the pond, at the same time giving notice ot their ap plication to tho local authorities, as required in such cases. The sleepy town authorities were so slow in call ing a meeting to consider the question of assent or protest that they were anticipated by the passage ot tho bilL The meeting was held, never theless, and angry protests were put on record against giving to a few persons natural advantages that rightly belonged toand should be en joyed by the many.

Atlantic sp:-ed has risen to an aver attc of twenty knots at sea, to be b:-aten this year, it is confidently ex pected, by the twenty-one to twenty two knots of the new tiunarders. To secure this extra speed an enormous increase in size is required; the neces sity for this increase is easily swn from simple calculations on the law. so clearly laid down by Mr. Fronde. To put these laws into popular lan guage, one per cent increase spCed over a given vovae requires two per cent, increase in length, six percent. increase in tonnage and fuel, and seven per cent, incicasc in horse power. Hecausc a torpedo boat has been constructed to run the measured mile -it. t.wpiitv.ftvn Irnnt.s it, is irennrililv supposed that a mere increase of size sutlicient for seaworthiness would pro duce a vessel which could cross the Altantiu a the same speed. So it could, provided we could re-coal every twenty-four hours or 000 miics; but it is the necessity of carrying tho fuel requisite for five days' steam, or 3,000 miles, which imposes such gi gantic dimensions on fast Atlantic steamers, insomuch that it will be found that no one of our fast nien-of-war could cross the Atlantic at full speed. A Metal That Hardens Sled. The reason why the mixture of tungsten with steel gives the latter so great a degree of hardness that it readily scratches glass and quartz seems to be revealed by a discovery recently made in Germany. A defi nitely crystallized compound of iron and tungsten has been discovered, the crystals being so haid as to scratch topaz. Tungsten isa brittle white metal almost as heavy as gold. The crystals formed bv its combination with iron, in the proportion of one atom of iron to two of tungsten, are silver-gray and very brilliant. It is thought that when tungsten is alloyed with steel, some of tho j compound just described is formed in i the mass, thereby producing the rc ', markaliln increase in the hardness of j the steel. i This is an interesting example of the value that one metal may lend to another, for, until the discovery that it could be used in hardening steel, tungsten, although'it occurs in con siderable abundance, wa3 practically useless and without value. WasllliK Time. An old farmer died in a little vil lagc in the neighborhood of Paris. His fortune, the fruit of years of patient toil, was invested in a jee, compact little farm. A nephew, be lieving himself to be heir, called a few days later on the lawyer, and be fore saying a word about the sue es sion thought it only right and proj cr to shed a few tears. 'Toor uncle," he murmured: "so kind, so affectionate! To think that 1 shall never see him again!" The notary allowed the young man to give fuli vent to his sorrowful emotions, after which he quietly ob served, 'I suppose you arc aware that your uncle has left you nothing?" "What!" exclaimed the nephew, suddenly changing his tone. "I'm not down in my uncle's will?" 'o." "Then why on earth did you let mc stand here weeping and making a fool of myself for a good half hour?" Jimt tho Tiling.

But the Royal is correspondingly purer and higher in leavening strength, and of greater mnnev value to the consumer. The difference i in cost of Royal over the best of the others does not equal the difference in leavening $ strength, nor make good the inferior work $ of the cheaper powders, nor rt.nove the $ impurities which such powders leave in i the food. 5 Where the finest food is required, the Royal Baking Powder only can be used. Where the question of health is considered, i no baking powder but Royal can be used with safety. All others are shown by official $ analyses to contain lime, ammonia or alum.
