LUDICROUS LEGAL LORE.
A Legend of tha Early Jurisprudence
of Michigan.
The early history of the juris
prudence of Michigan, if faithfully
chronicled, would furnish forth nn
entertainment nbounding with tlio
soul nnd point of humor. Many of
theso little legends-yet float nround
the scenes which have given birth
to tiicin nnd serve sometimes to
f;ivo zeat to n bar dinner or to en
iven n bar meeting. Among thorn
is the following:
Judge 11., a plain and worthy
man, but no lawyer, was once coun
ty judge of Oakland under the old
system. A ca.o came on for trial
before him nn one occasion in
which the action wan founded in
tort, nnd the pica of the defendant,
which was special, was such as to
rive him the allirmativc of tha is
sue, upon the strength of which ho
claimed the right to open nnd closo
tlio case. I his point was denied by
the counsel for the plaintiff, "who
never in llu whole courio of his
prnctico had heard of such nn enor
inity as the defendants presuming
to open tlio case. Authorities wr-ro
brought and cited, however, nnd tlio
judge, after mature consideration,
determined that such was the dc-
! fondant's right nnd so pronounced
his decision. After n short pause,
during which the plnintilT was
grumbling his dissatisfaction, the
court tolil tlio defendant's lawyer
to l'o on.
"Your honor," said he, rising, "I
nin not quite ready to open tho case.
hen I got ready I will let the otlt
cr side know I" This opened, if not
the case, nt lensl the eyes and
mouth of tlio other sido, who sprang
to Ills feet and bellowed forth de
nunciation upon tho stupidity of
the judire, whoso absurd decision
had placed him in such n diiemmn.
1 on see, your honor, what you
have ilonc. 1 011 have actually
placed tliu tiice in the hands of tha
ilerviKlaut. Ho took possession or
our oxen, and when wo brought an
action to recover them ho took pos
session of that nlco." "I can't help
it, sir," said tlio learned judge, with
great fderniitx. "The decision is
made, and it is too late to niter it.
The law mint take its course. You
must withdraw your action and sue
again.
"If lie doe, vour honor," said tho
defendant's cnunmil, "I shall plcnd
the pendency of this nclion in bar
mid bent Mm." "Then, Mr.
said the judge, "I see nn other way
for you but to sit down ipiietly nnd
unit till the ilercmlant gets ready
to try this mho." Tho nhiinlilT took
the judge's advice, but the "timo
appointed" has never claused, nnd
ho is waiting yet. Philadelphia

and sumo of them were drunk. Is
there any one here like that to

"Vos," said a respectable looking
man seated in the aisle; "I'm hore,

The effect on tho congregation

THE H0R0V0D.
'culler Type of Song Universal All
Over Ruitla,
One peculiar type of 6ong, the
horovod, is universal nil over Itus
uin. Horovod means leader of n
chorus. Every Russian villager, man
or woman, knows n horovod. it ni-
wnvs bcirins with tho chief melody
sung by one voice or by a number
of voices in unison.
Tho secondary parts nrc a free
imitation of it, nnd onco tho chief
melody has been eivcn out every
member of tho company develops It
according to his taste. The two
80X03 never mix and sinir with each
other. There nre nlwnys male nnd
female horovodi. Somo of theso
folk songs arc collected from phono-
Drums by Eugenia Lined in "Tho
Peasant Sonus of Great Itussia."
Tlio broad, slow flowing rivers of
Itussia seem to exercise a strong
fascination upon tho peasant s mi
agination. On tho banks of tho
Volga groups of men nnd women
may often bo seen in summer drug
ging out timber which has lloatcd
down, and ns they tug nt tlicir bur
den thoy sing.
The gist of most of their river
songs is thnt if you nro born to In
bor you must toil on, "Toil on, toil
on bravely, one, two, three, nnd yet
onco more, nnd tho tnsk is done."
Mnny songs belong to tiio Volga dis
trict, nnd one is dedicated to ".Moth
er Volga" herself. Tho Husslan
peasant nlso believes his rivers to
bo inhabited bv tnvsterious beintrs.
Chief among these Is tho Itoussulka,
n harmful kind of naiad. Tho voices
of tho Itoussalki nrc henrd in tho
rustling of tho grass by tho water's
edge, and tho splash of tho running
stream botrays their dancing fcot.

The Library of an Emperur.
In 1808 Napoleon formed tho
idea of having a traveling library
in order to make his hours of intel
lectual recreation independent of
the exigencies of 11 campaign or tho
delnys of 11 courier. Tlio proiwscd
library wns to form about n thou
sand volumes. The books wore to
be of small duodecimo size, printed
in good type nnd without tnnrgins
in order to save space. Thov wcro
to bo bound in morocco, with flex
ible covers nnd limp backs. Tho
boxes for their conveyance wcro to
be covered with leather und lined
with green velvet and wero to av
erage sixty volumes apiece in two
rows like the shelves in n library.
i catalogue wns to accompany them
o arranged that the emperor could
r canny unit nny desired volume.
Tho distribution of subjects was ns
follows: Forty volumes on religion,
forty of epic poetrv, forty of tho
drama, sixty volumes of other po
etry, sixty volumes of history nnd
a hundred novels. "In order to
complete tho quota," ran tho in
structions, "tho balance shall ho

THE EARTH'S .CRUST.
It Rigidity la About Equal to That of
Granite.
Professor T. J. J. Sec of tho
United States navy has investigat
ed tho rigidity of tho earth by
mathematical processes depending
on the theory of gravitation, lie
found that, even if fluid, the globe
votjc r.are n rigidity greater than
that of wrought iron, owing to the
tremendous weight. Tho earth's
matter under this great pressure
acts as a solid and so vibrates in an
earthquake, und tho nvcrnge rigid
ity of tlio whole mass is nearly equal
to that of nickol steel. Nickel steel
is ono of tho strongest nnd hnrdest
mctnls known. The globo is thus
proved to bo cnpablo of withstand
ing enormous strain. Dr. Sec
proves that the rigidity of tho
earth's crust is about equal to that
of grnnito, which is onc-sixtli thnt
of steel, nnd thnt toward tho center
tho rigidity rapidly increases. At
tho earth's center tho imprisoned
matter is at nn enormously high
temperature, yet under tlio great
pressure there at work it is kept
three times moro rigid "than tho
nickel steel used in tlio armor of n
battleship.
This method has been applied
nlso to tli b other planets. It turns
out that the rigidity of Venus is
greater than that of platinum nnd
probably about identical witli that
of wrought iron. The rigidity of
Mars is about eminl to that of gold,
while tho rigidity of Mercury, tho
nioon and other satellites is about
equal to that of glass. Tho avcrago
rigidity of tho great planets Jupl
tor, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune
lies between eighteen and three
times thnt of nickel steol. Tho
great rigidity of theso bodies is duo
to the grent pressure acting
throughout such Inrgo masses.
in tho enso of tho sun the result
s still moro oxtrcmo. Tho avcrago
rigidity of nil tho sun's layers is
over '4,000 times that of nickol
steel. This result shows tho effect
of grnvity in compressing nnd hard
cning n mnss oven when it is self
luminous nnd nt enormously high
temperature. Chicago .News.
Flret Dalloon Aicent.
The first public ascent by the
Monlgolflcr bnlloon was made Juno
ti, 17811. It was a spherical bag,
consisting of pieces of linen but
toned together, suspended from
cross poles. A lire was kindled un
der it, and the flames wcro fed with
bundles of chopped struw. Tho
loose bag fillrd out, assumed a
graceful form and in a short timo
was completely distended. At a giv
en slenal the stavs woro slinnod.
nnd tho balloon instantly asceuuod.
Its velocity accelerated until it
reached some height, then becumo
uniform and carried it to an eleva
tion of moro than n mile. For ten
minutes it remained suspended, then
fell gently in a vineyard nearly two
miles distant from tho placo of its
nsconsion. Tho first ndventurers
to muke nn ascent in a balloon were

The Domettlo Problem.
"I onco lost an Irish servant," re
marked a German lady who was ro
tating tho trouble sho had in keen
ing domestics, "because I could not
convlnco her that 'mlck' is u Ger
man namo for n fly. Ono day my
little baby daughter was seated in
a chair near n window which open
ed on tho piazza, whoro Bridget was
at work. The window was closed,
nnd a number of flies wero busy
bumping their heads against tho
Fianes in an endeavor to escape to
ho outside. They attracted baby's

"Cannibalism."
The word "cannibalism" Is real
ly tho namo of a people. It is iden
tical with Carib, many of the Ca-
ribs, who formerly flourished in tin
West Indies, having been consunv
rJ n i..,..,n flni. ti.o tot..a tn
"n" nnd "r" nre interchangeable in
certain aboriginal American lan
guages, so that Columbus found one
West Indian island saying "Can-
iba," where another said "Carib,"
while shakespeare s Caliban is 1
other variety of tho same.
The Word -Impertinent"
Originally the word "imperti
nent" signified merely "not belong
ing to." When Wyclife wid that
there wero many men in this world
who were "impertinent to earthly
lords" he did not mean that they I
were "cheeky," but merely that they
had no masters. Then, as used by I
buaKespeare, "impertinent carat
to mean "irrelevant." Just 200
years ago it was defined as signify
ing "absurd, siUy. 141a."
