He found her very Intelligent, showing tho marks of care ful home training and some education. The more I'rnnklyii saw of her the nn- deeply he felt the misfortune of her position. He sounded Abo once regarding her, but ory carefully, nml learned that the oh man had never liked her father u in) seemed to take satisfaction In keeping Hose In her unsavory sur roundings.

Ihe earlj records are tilled with reports of Inquiries Into the cause rioting anil disturbances of the neace The early court records consist largely of actions brought for slander and as sn tilt. It Is recorded that a man was arrested for calling au olllcial a "snap pertje," another was put hi Jail, eharg ed with having called his neighbor a illck beeste" and still another was clapped Into Jail for having called certain olllcial a "bloodsucker." Some of the old I Hitch records make Interest lug reading. And the court inoted out Justice In all those cases with a regit n! for common sense and a illsiegard for statute law that one cannot help but admire. One Instance of curious nillusiii'.'iit of penalties may be cited: The village tavern keeper and a con teiitlous woi i i.i 1 1 both appealed before the court, asking Justice. I'hcy had quarieled. The woman had accused Ihe Innkeeper of watering his brandy, and he In turn had applied an npproln lous epithet to the woman. The court after hearing the evidence adjudged both lo bo guilty.

A certain Lieutenant Schmidt, who was engaged In some lively adventure or other, dressed up as a civilian and was having altogether an enjoyable time until, on turning u corner, he un expectodly met his colonel.

Yet there ore plants which will do this when the broom or the duster beglus to make dust Hy. This singular plant Is the "coughing bean," known to the botanist as the Kutmla tusslens. It Is a uatlve of warm and moist tropical countries and cannot and will uot stand dust. When dun settles upon the breathing (tores lu tho leaves of this plant and chokes them, a gas accumulates inside the leaves, ami wheu it gains sutllcleut strength forcibly "blows off." clearing tbe (tores of dust and making a sound exactly like coughing.

Ilr Snntrtiril I-lfe Out of n I'.m.i f .Mnttrli Mctnl, Taree men came up carrying a long Iron shaft, which had been cut In two, so that an Iron ring could be Inserted between the two halves. An empty crucible a foot wide and deep hung lu the ring. The forward end of the pole hold n crossbar, making It, as It were, a huge T. Two men held the T part of the polo; the third grasped the rear end. The crucible hung between. The remainder of the molten metal from the caldron was tipped luto one cruci ble, and the men trotted off with It, the two lu front with strained faces, the man behind driving them complacent ly, the oddest team lu the world, lie steered them through a doorway, mid they emptied their crucible Into a smalt mold. As they went they kept stop in an unusual manner, instead of step ping out light foot with right foot the left man's light leg and the tight man's left leg went forward together, knee with knee, foot with foot. We asked why. "That," said our guide, "Is to prevent them from Hipping. If they should fall, you know, thnt metal would pour over them." 'Of course such '. hlng never hap pened?" 'Yes, It did once. One of the men went down. The other Jumped clear, but the fellow on the Hoor swam lu It." Horrible! Of course fie died Instant ly, poor man?"

The doctor became restless under tho lengthy and exhaustive cross examina tion cf Mr. Wallls, and dually he petu lantly exclaimed. "Oh, Mr. Wallls, 1 believe the testa tor was Insane!" Mr. Wallls kept his temper and said ipiletly: "Doctor, you are the llrst per son who has ever Intimated In or out of court that the testator was Insane. Why do you say he was Insane?" "I believe," the doctor replied, "that every man Is more or less Insane on Niime one snbjeet."
