Johnson's Witness.
A farmer named Johnson was on
trial before a Detroit Justice the other
day for assault and battery, and when
the prosecution had finished he put a
little old man of about 65 on the stand
as a witness. The lawyer began ;
•What is your name ?'
•If you'll tell me your name I'll tell
you mine !' was the prompt answer.
•Where do you reside ?'
*1 won't answer no such foolish
question 1 I've paid taxes in this
county for fifty years, and I won't be
talked to as if I was a child.'
•Well, Mr. Blank, you saw this diffi
culty, did you ?'
•If I hadn't seen it would I be here ?
Do you 'spose I want to be arrested for
forgery ?'
• How did it begin ?'
•How does anything begin ?' ,snap
ped the old man.
•Well, now, will you tell the jury all
about it ?'
•No, sir, I won't! If the jury want
to know anythiug about it they must
ask me.'
•You must answer the questions,'
remarked his Honor.
•I will if I want to, but they haven't
asked any questions yet.'
•Did the plaintiff and defendant
have any hard words ?' asked the law
yer;
*1 'spose they did, but I wouldn't
swear to it.'
•Did either one call the other a li
ar ?'
*1 'spose they did, and that's what
brusg on the fuss. I'm over sixty,but
if any man calls me a liar I'm going to
knock his durned head off I'
'Well, when the plaintiff called the
defendant a ' liar, what was the re
sult ?'
•Why, how do I know ¥'
•Didn't you see a blow struck ?'
•Not there, but next day after this
fuss I saw the purtiest fight in the
world I One of the Jones boys was—'
'Did you see any part ot this fuss V'
•No 1 How could I when I was
three miles away ; you ought to know
better than to ask such foolish ques
tions. '
•How did you hear of this difficul
ty
•Mr. JohDson told me.'
•That will do—you can go.'
'But I agreed to come here for a dol
lar and swear, and I'm going to do it I
You needn't think you can doze-bull
me around because I'm old.'
I A constable had to haul hi m out of
the box and put him out of doors, but
he wouldn't go away until he had put
his head into the window and said :
•If you think I'm scart como out
here and pat a chip on your shoulder !'
Ventilation of School Rooms.
A school room that is solely indepen
dent upon open windows for ventilation
is unfit for use during the greater part
of the year. Children sitting near the
windows cannot be exposed to draughts,
and except in warm weather such
rooms cannot be thoroughly ventilated
in this way. The device of fitting
boards under the window, so as to sep-1
arate the sashes a few inches in the
middle and admit fresh air, without
creating a current,is useful in hospitals,
. but does not meet the requirements of a
crowded school room. The ventilation
of school buildings ought not to be left
to chance, but.should be systematically
provided for. Children are tender
plants that thriye in fresh air, and
droop, spindle and wither in foul air.
One of the best proofs that the air in
school rooms is too unfit for children to
breathe is .the prevalence of near-sight
edness among the older pupils. The
eye, being the most delicate bit of me
chanism of the hnman body, requires
the best blood which the physical sys
tem can command, and consequently
suffers more than any other organ when
the blood is vitilated by the inhalation
of foul air year after year. To near
sightedness are added other positiye in
dications of the paleful effects of car
bonic acid m the school atmosphere—
the pale faces and impaired health of
the children and the chronic headaches
%nd neryous depression of the teachers.
The subject is one of vital importance
I to the public, and any authoritative in
formation which may be forthcoming
ought not to be capriciously suppressed.
His New Plying Machine.
An enterprising saloon keeper on
Grand River avenue is always on the
lookout for any novelty that may draw
customers and perhaps this fact may
have been known to a bland-faced old
man who entered the place the other
day and confidentially began :
•If I could draw a crowd of one hun
dred men to your place here, what sum
would you be willing to give me.'
•What do you mean ?' asked the sa
loonist.
•If it was known that I had in my
possession a flying-machine, and that|it
was to fly from your door here on acer
tain day and hour,wouldn't the novelty
be sure to collect a thirsty crowd ?'
•Yes, I think so. If you have a fly
ing-machine and want to show it off
here to-morrow night, I'll g i ve you a
dollar, and if the machine is a success,
perhaps I'll buy it.'
•Well, sir,' continued the old man, in
a whisper, 'l've got the boss ! She flies ]
from the word go. All I've got to do
is to toss her into the air, and away she 1
sails. It's right down fine, and no ]
chance for failure, and I'll be on hand
at seven o'clock to-morrow night.' -
The matter became noised about,and !
next evening there was fifty or sixty !
people in and around the saloon to wit- f
%
ness the experiment.! |The old mau ar
rived on time, having some sort of a
bundle under his arm, and he collected
his dollar of the saloonist and secured
several 'treats' from the crowd. When
everything was finally ready ho stood
on the walk clear of the spectators and
said :
•Gentlemen, I warrant this thing to
fly. I didn't invent it myself; but lam
now acting as State'agent to dispose of
county rights. Hundreds of men have
spent years of anxious thought and
thousands of dollars in seeking to in
vent flying machines, but this one leads
them all. She will now fly. Please
stand back and give lier a chance to
rise. 1
The crowd fell back, and the man let
fall the cover hiding his bundle, and
gave an old suckled hen a toss in the
air. She uttered a dismal squeak,sailed
this way and that, and finally bumped
against a telegraph post, and settled
down on the roof of a low shed, cack
ling in an indignant manner at being
turned loose in a strange neighborhood.
It was fully a minute before the crowd
was sure that it was a hen, and during
that minute the old man is supposed to
have run a distance of seven blocks. A
few tried to overhaul him, but it was
no use.— M. Quad.
