A trial that attracted no little atten
tion was held in Justice Payne's court
this week . In fact there were two trials.
Mrs Barbara Patterson is the renter of
a farm five miles south of Clarkson
which Frank Hansel and son of Dodge
were the owners until the 28th day of
September last when it was sold to
Joseph Blecha. On the date of sale the
Hansels notified Mrs. Patterson in writ
ing to move or to rent the farm from the
new owner neither of which she did but
with all womanly grace she still has
possession of the farm and refuses to give
it up claiming a verbal agreement prior
to September 28th. On last Tuesday
the case was tried before a jury in jus
tice court and they disagreed. Wednes
day the ease was retried before another
jury and they disagreed again. The wo
man has illicted some sympathy by her
conduct in court yet the case is one of
those knotty affairs where reasonable
doubt steps in. Some one is working
a hardship on the other. Mr. Blecha
has all the necessary things with which
to farm his farm bnt Mrs. Patterson says
he can not have his own farm after hav
ing five months notice to move. It will
necessitate another trial of some kind to
settle the matter.

THE BAMBOO HAIR.
A Slew but Sure Poiso That Is Used
by the Javanese.
The young shoots of the bamboo are
covered with a number of very fine
hairs that are seeu under the micro
scope to be hollow and spiked like
bayonets. These hairs are commonly
called bamboo poison by the white
men resident in Java for the reason
that murder Is frequently committed
through their agency.
When a Javauese woman takes a
fancy to a European, according to an
official Dutch report, she will either
have him or poison him if she gets the
chance. She seeks any and every op
portunity of mixing these Infinitesimal
hairs among his food, and they serve
the purpose of Irritating the whole
length of the alimentary canal and set
ting up malignant dysentery. It may
take a long time and many doses of
this so called poison to effect the pur
pose, but the native woman does not
tire, and death will surely result The
male native will also try this method
of revenge for an affront
The planters know all this and
dread the bamboo hair, but it Is al
ways difficult to determine whether
the dysentery Is caused by the poison
or comes about naturally. When a
planter finds himself a prey to attacks
of that complaint his best course Is to
take a voyage to Europe. Pearson's
Weekly.
No Criterion.
Once during the progress of a certain

"You will pardon me, my lord," said
the latter, "but perhaps I may remind
you that you argued a case In a sim
ilar way yourself when you were at
the bar."
"Yes, 1 admit It," replied his lord
ship, with a quiet smfle, "but that was
the fault of the judge who allowed It"

The Englishman In a Groove.
In England nine-tenths of the lads
of the middle classes look forward to
nothing more than a seat at an office
desk with a certain number of shil
lings a week for a certain number of
years. To attempt to do anything else
would be to run the risk of social os
tracism. A young man may loaf re
spectably ou bis family, but he must
ou no account start a business If it
involves selling anything or producing
anything with his bands. That would
be bad form. It would be getting out
side the groove. Thus for the great
mass of the people England holds no
romance. The lad who thinks he could
do something Is discouraged. Every
thing Is so cut and dried. Every class
distinction Is so definitely marked.
The whole weight of public opinion Is
against the smallest divergence from
the ordinary rule. Manchester (Eng

One afternoon, when the Duke of

having finished a duet, were sitting
down to a homely "dish of tea." pro
vided by Mrs. Sullivan, the composer's
mother. It suddenly occurred to her to
start the subject of family names and
titles, which puzzled the good lady
considerably.
"Sir," she said, "your family name Is
Guelph."
"My dear mother," began Arthur.
"But it Is. isn't it?" she persisted.
"Certainly." replied the duke, much
amused. "What's the matter with it
Mrs. Sullivan?"
"Oh, nothing," returned the excellent
old lady musingly. "Only I can't un
derstand why yon don't call yourself
by your proper name."
Arthur wanted to explain to her, but
the duke would not allow him to.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of
In the name of Guelph. Mrs. Sullivan."
he said gravely.
That's exactly what 1 say," persist
ed Arthur's mother; "nothing what
ever as far as I know, and. that being
so, why you should not call yourself
by it 1 can't understand." F. C. Bur

An Old Verb.
To laze is an old verb. In Samuel
Rowlands' "Martin Markall," 1610. we
are told that "loyterers laze In the
streete, lurke In alehouses and range
in the highwales." The word occurs,
I believe, in some of Mortimer Collins'
lyrics:
But Cupid lazeth 'mongst the falery
