Silant Lawyer. It Is almost a maxim nowadays that a lawyer's real importance at the bar is in inverse ratio to his prominence in the papers. The truth is that law yers of great importance seldom now adays appear in court In the old days the great lawyer was the, eloquent lawyer; today the great lawer Is th silent one. Then bar reputatlous weoe mado literally at the bar. Today they are made in the offices of the sky scrapers neighboring on Wall street. In England a visit any day to the law courts will be repaid by the sight of some famous K. C. assisting the court in a dramatization of the trial chapter from "Alice In Wonderland." But you might prowl for a month withlu the precincts of the New York courthouse without encountering a lawyer whose name would signify anything remark able to the hlstorlnn of the New York bar. American Magazine. Curious Justice. A Tarls contemporary gives us a glimpse of the admlnlst ration of Jus tice. among the natle8 in the Lower Niger territory, which for its ettlcacy mlgh tie compared with Swift's ac count of -the means adopted by Judi cial anthorlties in Laputa. we believe, to discover conspirators. If a native Is accused of theft the heads of the village make a decoction of herbs and put Into the essence about a grain of ground pepper. The ii(juld is then lightly applied to the eyelid. If the suspect weeps he Is considered guilty. But the murder test Is an improve ment upon that of theft. The "wise man" of the district draws a vessel of water, Into which be puts some poison. Then he takea a cow's tall and "as perses" the eyes of the supposed as sassin. If the man becomes blind he is pronounced a murderer. ' For Testing Gold. The add used by Jewelers for testing gold Is extremely powerful and has to be very carefully bandied. To pre vent any considerable qunntity of the acid being spilled a specially -constructed bottle is employed. The stopper of this is made of glass and contains a long pointed glass rod which passes down the center of the bottle. When an article of jewelry is to be tested the stopper is simply ' removed, and the Article is touched with the point of the glass rod to which a very slight quantity of acid has adhered. Gold is not affected by the acid, but imitation metal turns green. One Way to Arbitrate. , Commodore Vanderbllt used often to arbitrate his tenants' disputes, and one day two fnrmers cnlled on -him In his function of arbitrator. The commo dore before consenting to act put to the 'first tenant the necessary question: "Now, Henry, if I consent to arbi trate will you abide by my decision?" The farmer, a bard headed old fel low, answered tbougntfully: "Well, commodore, I'd like to know what it is first" A Crusl Aoologlst "Mr. Bligglns takes tnmself very se riously," said the critical young wo man. i .
