Defendants, who are bakers in | that city, were summoned by the plain- tiff for having on the 26th of November last refused to sell bread by weight, contrary to the provision of 1st and 24 ic., Cap. 28, Sec. 4. The magistrates agreed to state a case for the King's bench division. This set out that plain- tiff had asked defendants for a 3d loaf, the correct weight of which should be | two pounds, but on weighing the loaf which was supplied it was found to be deficient by one ounce. Plaintiff relied on section 4 of the act, which provided that bread should be sold by weight| and not by meastre, and imposed | only. {a penalty of 40 shillings for a contra- vention of the provision, which referred to ordinary household bread and ex- empted fancy bread and ‘French rolls. | It was contended on plaintiff's behalf that it was not sufficient to weigh the dough, but that the bread should be | weighed after being fully baked, either | in presence of the purchaser or at some time prior to sale. For defendants it was set out that they employed a ma- chine which cut the dough into slices, and these when baked formed two- pound and four-pound loaves, as re- quired, that the sale of these was on the basis of weight afid that the re- quirements of the act had been com- plied with. The Lord Chief Justice in delivering the unanimous judgment of the court said the case must go back te the mag- istrates, with a direction to convict, | and the plaintiff wéuld get his costs of | the argument.—London Exchange. et Largest String Beans. | What are presumably the largest string beans in the world may be seen growing in the gardens of a resident of Pasadena, Cal. They range from thirty to fortv-three inches in length and average half an inch in width. | They are not only enormously large, | but they make a delightful table deli- | cacy when cut and stewed and pre- {pared with cream and - butter. The | vines besr profusely and the beans are i 80 large that one of them is more than a single person can comfortably man- age. These beans are of the aristo- | cratic epecies, and do not claim alli- ance with the common string bean. | California botanists class them as be- | longing to the genus Dolichos, but ow- | ing to their great length they are pop- ularly known as “yard beans.” . The | plants are natives of China and Japan, and the seeds were sent to California from Japan.—New York Commercial. —_——— A Shocking Crime. The daughter of a widow living at | Potsdam has Jyst been tried for incit- | ing soldiers against an officer in the l[ollowlng circumstances: One Sunday {last year she was walking with her | sweetheart, a soldier, when she met a ‘;young cadet. The latter stopped the | soldier on the ground that he had not | saluted him. The soldter and the girl | maintained that the salute had been | given, whereupon the cadet ordered j the man to follow him to the barracks. The girl upon this called to a number | of artillerymen, bidding them' not to | allow such a young officer to arrest an | honest man. The soldier, who followed | the cadet as ordered, was sentenced to | five months’ imprisonment in a fortress. | The charge against the girl was dis- 1 missed, but she was fined 30 marks for | insulting the cadet.—New York Press. ————— The men who teach in French schools are to get hereafter from $240 1o $440 a year; the women teachers get $40 less. s I TFIVO AVANAS IXHUN L i “uoyy Sawinyy oIy wpuIoNe) Sunox oyg, ‘NASHOINNOS LMATIV X4 SHINOLS VHS ONITIRILL O SARKIS AL JO ANOOTS ! .

McGonnigal was for a number of years an officer of one of the fruit steamers plying between New Orleans and Central American. ports. | Talking one dav with me about this | fruit trade one da ylast week, he sald: | “Do you know, it amazes me that the fruit steamers do not succeed in rid- ding New Orleans of its rat population. They are continually carrying rats away from New Orleans and never bring them back, yet the rat supply in | the Crescent City always holds up un- | der the strain pretty well. { "I was in the trade for a good many | years, and I count this curious freak of the Louisiana rats one of the oddest “lhings 1 have ever been cognizant of. | While the fruit steamers lle at the ] New Orleans docks the rats stow them- by the scores and hun- Cats are of no avail in keep- ing them back. I had fifteen on board my craft once, and they succeeded in | doing no more than keep the rodents | below deck. On the out voyage they are one of the biggest nuisances im- aginable, but as soon as the vessel reaches one of the Central or South American ports they swarm ashore, as though the Pied Plper of Hamlin were ashore playing on the sands. “During the return voyage to New Orleans, with my vessel loaded with luscious fruit, and, it would, be pre- sumed, far more enticing to a rat, I have never seen one on board. They sail out with us, but they never come back. I don’t know how to account for it, but the statement is true, and I have no doubt the captain of every vessel in the fruit trade out of New Orleans has noticed it and will sub- Star. ! selves away | dreds. —————— | Undecided. ] One day a certailn professor of mathematics at O.

With the Gin'rals. The late General John B. Gordon and Governor Chandler of Georgla were to- gether in a hotel in Atlanta recently, when Governor Chandler asked the general if he had eves known of a witty darky. ‘Yes,” said the general, “one. When General Robert E. Lee was fighting Grant in ‘the last days’ an old darky besieged headquarters with ‘the gin'ral.’ He was turned away a dozen times. But one day he succeeded in reaching the guard immediately in front of General Lee's tent, and almost got into the tent itself before he was stopped. The aiterca- tion which followed was overheard by General Lee, who called out, ‘Let that man come in!" Then into the tent came the fellow, a raw-boned, shamb- ling, gray-headed, gnarled old darky, who scraped the ground with his foot and kept turning his hat around nerv- ously in his hand. **Weil, where do you belong?' de- manded General Lee. “‘I blongs to y'r company, gin'ral,’ i returned the darky. **‘No, you don’t,/ declared the gen- ‘Everybody in.my com- shot. How is it that you haven’'t been? “The darky scratched his head. Then from his twisted mouth came a confidential whisper, ‘Well, yo’ see, gin'ral, it's this away. 1 ain't been shot, 'caze when day’s a fight goin’ on I always stays with the gin'rals.’"— Lippincott's ————— He Dodged the Question. In Southern Missouri court proceed- ings are not as strictly formal as those with which the city ldwyer is familiar. The Judge does not always forget, when he mounts the bench, what he knows about the plain people of the | earth, and sometimes he acts on that knowledze. At New Madrid during the last ses- slon of the Circuit Court one negro was on trial for murdering another. . Judge Riley was impaneling a jury and , asking candidates the questions re- quired by law. When the jury-box was full of men sworn to answer truly he | demanded in judicfal tones: “Are any of you gentlemen related to Doc O’Bannon, Doctor Dawson, or Doctor Digges?” "There was no answer from the tales- men, and their silence was taken for negation. The Judge looked at them and frowned. 5 “The rest of the witnesses in this case being colored,” he said, “I shall not ask you whether you are related to them or Th:re\was a momentary silence in the court, and then from the assembled farmers on the benches came a chorus of approval which not even the deputy sheriff could rap to silence.—Lippin- cott’s. The American automobile made its debut at Odessa for the first time dur- ing the past year and a few machines were sold, which |have given satisfaction No Fare for Doll Under Three. True kindliness does not abound in any particular place. A .conductor on a Ridge-avenue car the other day gave an example of how the ordinary things of life may be made attractive by the presence of a little kindliness. The car stopped and a little girl car- rying a large doll got on. The con- ductor came in to collect Her fare. The little girl,. who was about six years old, handed him a nickel. He looked at it and then at her. Her ex- pression was that of perplexity. The | conductor then leaned down and ask- ed her for her doll's fare. That re- quest made the little girl's perplexity even greater. But the conductor quickly asked her whether the doll wasn't over three years old and to her negative reply he said: “Oh! I thought she was and I was waiung for her fare.” Then he smilingly ’pulled the register strap, and the other passengeys who had witnessed | the occurrence somehow or other felt better for this little touch of whim- sical comedy.—Philadelphia Record. _—————— California leads all the States in the production of barley and sup- plies one-fourth of all that is grown in .the United States.

First Assistant Postmaster General iWynne gave the jurors a shock in the | Machen trial by declaring, under oath, that he didn't know a Groff fastener | from a locomotive when he came into the Postoffice Department, and when counsel for Machen asked him If he had ever seen a Groff fastener he con- fessed frankly that he had not. Such {a revelation of ignorance, of course, | shocked the counsel for the grafters, so | when Mr. Wynne’s predecessors, Heath and Johnson, came on the stand the | following day a similar question was | put to them. Each promptly answered not only that he had seen the Groft | fastener, but that he could describe it. Then counsel for the defense asked Mr. | Johnson where and when he had seem | the Groft fastener for the first time. “I saw it first this morning,” was the reply, “on a lamppost.” Heath and Johnson had walked to court together that morning, and, recalling Wynne's testimony, had investigated for them- selves. Neither had ever known any- thing about the Groff fastener before it | came into the postal trials, although each had signed orders for the pur- chase of thousands of dollars’ worth of them.—New York Commereial. 2 ADVERTISEMENTS. -v‘::gs.
