In an Iowa law court an attorney was arguing with great earnestness and eloquence. In the midst of his ar- gument he paused a moment, says the Green Bag, and said: “I have not intimated.” replied the judge, “how I should construe the evi- dence or what my decision will be in the case, and your remark is uncalled for.” “You shook your head.” “That may be. true.” the court re‘ plied. “There was a fly on my ear. and I reserved the right to remove it in any manner I saw ht. Proceed with your argument.” “I see your honor shakes his head at that statement. I desire to reaffirm it. although your honor dissents.” “It a wife he a spendthrift or if she otherwise neglect her duties, her hus- band may put her away without com- pensation, but if a man put away his .wife for no other reason than that she has no children he shall return her .whole dowry. “If a betrothal be rescinded, the man shall pay the woman compensation. “A .widow with grown up children may not marry again without permis- sion from a Jtflge."â€"London Express. The First “whack. The well known Assyriologist, Dr. Hugo Winckler, published an account of the legislation promulgated by King Amraphel of Babylon, which, so far as is known at present, was the first book of laws ever given to the world. King Amraphel lived 2,250 years B. C. and is mentioned in the Bible as a contem- porary of Abraham, so that his statutes .were drawn up fully five centuries be- fore the laws of Moses. They number 282 and contain the following: “It a woman .who sells beverages gives bad value for the money paid her. she shall be thrown into water. Caleb Cushing's Dress. Caleb Cushing‘s peculiar manner of dress and his eccentricities were fre- quently the subject of newspaper arti- cles. Although quite a large and port- ly man, his clothes always seemed to be two or three sizes too large for him and of the cheapest material. IIe al- ways during both summer and winter wore a large cloth ‘ap pulled close down on his head and altogether look- ed anything but the brilliant jurist and diplomat. One day. after reading an unusually caustic comment upon his dress, he remarked to the writer, “I guess by the time that fool is as old as I am he will care more for comfort than fashion.” Seen on an Ostrich Farm. It is no uncommon thing to see a male ostrich strutting about followed by three or four distinct broods. all of different sizes. When the incubating process is completed, the cock bird leads his young ones off and if he meets another proud papa engages in a terrific combat with him. The van- quished bird retires without a single chick. while the other. surrounded by the two broods, walks away trium- phanfly. must have been some little employ- meat of it in a demagocic way may be inferred from the “Characters" of But- let. the author of the ever memorable “Hudibras.” He describes “a leader of a faction" as one who “sets the llalm, and all his party sing after him. He is like a figure in arithmeticâ€"the more ciphers he stands before the more his value amounts to. He is a great harauguer, talks himself into author- ity, and, like a parrot, climbs with his beak.” It is probable, moreover, that the first form of the platform was the eonventicle or meeting house of the Puritan or Dissenter. for Butler, in his character of “The Seditious Man,” says that “if he be a preacher he has the advantage of all others of his tribe, for he has a way to vent sedition by .wholesale.” But the platform at this time was of no practical account. Such attempts as there were outside parlia- ment to influence opinion were made by means of the press, partly by the book. partly by the pamphlet and part- ly by the Journal.â€"C. B. Roylance Kent in Longman’s. Gave Him-elf Away. After preaching on the occasion of the roox‘wning of a restored church the bishop thanked the churchwarden, an old farmer. {or his share in the good work. “And I must thank your lord- ship for your sermon,” was the reply, "but i could not help thinking, as you talked about sin, that your lordship must have been a little Wildish your- self when you were a young man.” Contentment. One who had tried several times to jump across a stream and had repeat- edly fallen in finally succeeded. when he said to a friend. “How much better I am than you in having accomplished a dlmcnlt feat.” “Not at all.” replied his friend. “I am better than you in not wishing to Jump act-003.” The Dillon-once. “What a luxury :1 clear conscience ls!” exclaimed the high minded states- man. - .3217 Political Platforms. ‘ It is in the seventeenth century that the first beginnings of the platform must be sought, but these early traces of its use are very slight.

They “When she took a car for home, she met a friend and grew interested in conversation with her. She put her coin in the slot absentmindedly. The driver turned as it struck the box. You remember the coin fell into a glass compartment first, and then the driver pushed a lever which sent it into the strong box below. “My wife had started out with a lit- tle change and one of those trouble- some five dollar goldpieces which used to be more commonly in circulation than they are now. Her eyes were not good, and so she was nervous about her goldplece and had it on her mind all the way downtown. “As my wife heard the click of the lever she thought of her five dollar goldplece. She lboked in her purse. Sure enough, it was gone. She went forward and spoke to the driver. He said he hadn’t looked very carefully, but he thought there were only three nickels 1n the glass receptacle when he pushed the lever. “My wife insisted. The driver said if she .Would ride to the end of the line the cashier at the station would open the box. This meant a Journey of two miles beyond our street, and my Wife was in a hurry. “An old gentleman who sat by the door said he was going to the end of the line and offered to give her $4.95 cents and get the goldpiece at the sta- tionn My Wife thanked him and took the money. When she got home, she found the five dollar goldpieee in the lining of her purse. “Next day I went to the station. The cashier said an old gentleman had made him open the box. There was no gold- piece. The old gentleman had left in a rage, refusing to give his name. He said he had been swindled and did not want to be known for a fool. “It was before the days of conduct- ors, when we used to drop our nickels into a slot, and they ran down a groove to the box behind the driver. “We advertised in the papers, but we never heard from him.”â€"Youth’s Como panion. The Old Testament records show, notwithstanding the various revisions through which these venerable books have passed. many indications of ani- mal worship among the Israelites, which must have lasted for ages be- fore the prohibition inculcated in the second line of the Decalogue was for- mulated. At a comparatively late date “Jehovah was worshiped under the popular symbol of a bull, while the twelve oxen upholding the laver in Solomon’s temple, as well as the horns adorning the altar, were drawn from the prevalent bull worship.” Modern research has also proved that the ehernbim were represented in the form of winged hulls. M. Lenormant in his famous book on the “Beginnings of History” says that during the time of the kings and prophets “most as- suredly the ehernhim, as there descriho ed, are animals.” Animal “Worship Among the Hebrew; A Fighting Ill-hop. On one occasion Bishop Selwyn was going down the river Waikato with a Maori when the latter. who was very lazy, left off paddling the canoe, at the same time muttering that if Seiwyn were not a bishop he wouldâ€"well, "go for Lin-1.” In a moment the bishop told the man to turn the canoe ashore. where. stripping himself of everything episcopal. he said, pointing to his robes. etc: “The bishop lies there; the man is here. I am quite ready; come on.” The Maori did not “come on,” however, but quietly resumed his work without another murmur.-â€"London 'l‘it- Bits. It was in a Boston street car. When the car stopped at a crossing, a lady got up and went to the door. As she rosethere .wasthe chinkotacoin on the floor. but before it occurred to any one to stop her she was out or the car and across the street. Two ladies who had sat next to her looked with anx- ious indiflerence on the floor. One of them leaned slightly forward, but said nothing. Just as the conductor was reaching for the bell rope a young man spied the coin and dashed out of the car. He caught the lady who had left the car, handed her the coin, ran back, caught the step of the car as the mo- tors began to sing in crescendo and sat down breathless. One of the two ladies opposite him leaned forward and said coldly, “Young man, what did you do With the nickel I dropped?" The pas- sengers tittered. An old man at the other end of the car turned to his neighbor. “That reminds me,” he said, “of something that happened to my wife years ago. The reason why the sheriff of New York cannot be elected to two succes- sive terms is this: It is the sheriff‘s duty to carry out the process of courts against oflicial delinquents during trial and after conviction. Should a sherifl endeavor forcibly to hold over for a second time after having been defeated for reelection he would be the instru- ment of the court’s process against himself, a paradoxical position which the law avoids by making him ineligi- ble for re-election.

She got along all right until the clerk asked: “ ‘Mother’s maiden name, please.’ “ ‘1 don’t quite understand, I’m afraid,’ she said hesitatingly. “ ‘I mean your mother’s name when she was a girl,’ explained the clerk. Elizabethan Excise laws. In striking contrast to the present laws to prevent habitual drunkenness were those passed in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. TheLansdowne manuscripts in the British museum record that in 1594 orders were set down by the lords and others of her majesty's privy coun- sel for the reformation of the great dis- orders committed by the excessive number of alehouses, which the Jus- tices were ordered to reduce. The pub- licans were compelled to give to the constable of the parish the name and business of every one who frequented their houses and were forbidden to have any games played therein. On Sundays no persons dwelling within a mile of the public house were allowed to enter except substantial household- ers traveling to church, and then only for a reasonable time to refresh them- selves. Curiously, the chief complaint against publicans was the “brewing stronger ale and beer than is whole- some for man’s body."â€"London Chron- icle. “ ‘IIow should I know?

Every time a stock company rents a play for production from the owner of the copyright it is cut, interlined and added to before it is produced. A stage manager, for instance, may interpolate some speeches in order to work up to the introduction of a song or specialty. or he may strengthen the climax by putting in some new and strong lines. Often these interpolated lines prove to be the most striking in the play and make decided hits. If they are left in when the manuscript goes back to its owner, they become his property ab- solutely and may not be used by the man who wrote them in any other pro- duction; therefore shrewd managers, before they return a play to its owner, always take great pains to erase every scrap ot correction or lnterlineatlon. In this way only may they keep .what really belongs to them.- “That is only three. The distant rel- ative is not a member of the family." “Oh. yes, he 18.119 is my brother " “Your brother?
