Former Chief Justlct of Mlvhtnan Tell of 111 Famous Collraunr. Judge John W. McGrath, who retired from the Chief Justiceship of tlie Michigan Supreme Court ai the close of lMtf, was sen by a correspondent ami usked as to his liellcf lu the cause of the physical aud mental breakdown of i'l-Jiislicc Thomas M. Coolcy, who Is uow In a private retreat at Mint. He was also asked If, lu his opinion, jurists were parllcularly prone to col lapse of that description. Judge McGrath Is a big man. His figure of more than six feet Is as erect as lu his young manhood, but snowy white hair and beard tell the work of father Time. He Is strong ami vigor ous himself, aud while laughingly de claring that his work had left him without a scar, said: "Poor Coolcy; he Is a victim of lib own tremendous energy, without tin physical strength to bear up under It. As n uunter of fact, 1 doubt if any man could have stood It. While bis work on the bench had something to do with his tlnal breakdown, for It always was and always will be most arduous work, his lalairs off tlie bench were alone more than most men care to un dertake. "His works on constitutional law, or torts, his many magazine articles ami the preparmlon of 'Coolcy'; Hlaok stone' were all completed w hile he win engaged on work that would have com pletely tilled most men's lime. "I believe he worked eighteen hour n day. I know that while on the bend, he not only was the first one to arise In his own home so as to work befori breakfast, but that his work table. was placed In his sitting room so that hi' could continue the grind evenings, ami nt the same time partially enjoy tin company of his family and frlemls. He womd turn sometimes to Join II their conversation, only to bury him self n moment later In his writing. "While I believe the life span ot Jurists Is probably as long as Is that of any other profession similarly de prived of exercise nml fresh nlr. I d think that for ninny years there has not been an (M'ouiwint of the Michigan bench who has nllrcd without the work having left Its mark. This Is ow ing largely to the fad that they have strnlnod every nerve to keep their dis'ket clear. "l'lils example was set by that great four, Coolcy. Christ laiicy, Campbell ami Graves. Chrlstlancy ami CuiiipIm II are dead, and Coolcy's uilml has fulled, but Graves Is a hale and hearty old gentleman living In Detroit. In Ohio ami ninny other States the business of the State bench Is behind two. thriK or more years, while here every case Is heard when ready, no matter bow great the strain, nnd opinions are also rush ed out on the same scliisliile. '.s to Judge Coolcy, 1 never knew a man of such Intense mental nctlvliy, and his breakdown came solely ns the result of overwork. He was always n man of spotless reputation and most correct habits, nml no other cnuse enn possibly be asslgn.sl. Ills work oil the Interstate Commerce Commission, his last sustained effort, was. In my opin ion, simply the In wrench." Not In It. Mrs. Callipers -"Arc you going to In vlte Mrs. l'owler to your party. She seems to I' such a pleasant little per son. Mrs. Justup-".'lnes. no!

The Kiindalls moved lu I'Vbcst of society, but for reasons probably defi nite to the mind of Ilie qti.vii. In r majesty did not wish one particular I daughter to vUlt them. There Is evl ! deuce that tlie queen moil.er reinoii- strated more than once wltli the di iM'dlciit daughter, and to no purpose, before she decided to proceed In an e ; traordinary way. Which was like this: One afternoon the Inhabitants of Hlimk street, in Lou don, were aroused by n great clattering. Those who got to tlie windows were amazed to behold the outriders of the queen, and then. In carriage of state, her majesty herself. And further were they mjsir.led when the cavalcade Mopped ix-torc the home of tin. Han dulls. "Itecause." said the Lngllsli- woman to me, "of course, the queen never calls upon anyone." Hut their feelings probably were Hot to bo compared w lib those of Mrs. Kali dall above stairs when she learned that her majesty, Queeu Victoria, awaited her In Hie drawing room. A woman ma; hoi say mat sue is not at home to a quivn. however she may dread to learn what ill fate Inspired the visit. ' Mrs. Itandiitl. fearfully, but proba bly with apparent ease, descended. Her majesty was standing, attended, near the disir. Without greeting, she asked, Icily; This is Mrs. Itandail?" "It Is, your majesty." "The Ptliiecss conies here often, I believe?" "She docs, your majesty." "When she comes again oblige me by saying you are not at home." Mrs. ; Itandail Niwed, aud tlie queen depart j ed Immediately.

C. C. Spaham, of Hankow. Among these volumes, says the Cbron Ique rnlverselle. he has discovered n Chinese gisigraphy extremely curious nml valuable, the more so as It cannot lie found at the present time lu the country of Its origin. This lsok has for Its title "Slia Hal Sing" inioiintnlps and sensi.

The first Includes men Hissesslug three faces; the second consists exclusively of dwarfs; the third of hybrids, partly men. partly llsh; tlie last division. Hie most curious of all, of men who have uo neck The head Is placed directly ou the trunk, the face turned on the upper side. When they w ish to travel they force down their mouth n stick which, without encountering any ob stacle, passes entirely through them. and In this way their servants carry tlicm on their bucks, taking them from place to place like living palanquins.
