Louis, The story runs that a raw German was summoned for Jury duty, and wished to get’ off. “Schudge,” he sald plaintively, “1 can nicht goot English understan'.” “Oh, you can serve,” sald Judge Lindley, cheerfully, “You won't have to understand good English: you won't Lear any such in this court” An Indiana pastor favor of the shirt walst on the ground that If a man i8 comfortable It is A well-known French physician, Dr. Hervieux, Is sald to have made Invest! gations which Indicate that flies Possibly fashionable society suffers some from fact that the people who do the foolishest things nearly al the general public, will be the tale from “The Boers’ Last Stand” heading of many a war South Africa. the King of than It is now reported that lost $15,000 in He is one heard of hard (ireeee less an hour, of the monarchs who are tion with in conned story. never except some luck Although language has an extensive vocabulary, It contains the Japanese antly COs Erowing and words and absolutely HO means ing and swear: wgsr3it} és republis period of other KR 1. the of the Federal nary successful managed the Hol land, and found no especial difficulty in the task Frequent experiments of might induce a this revision of unfavorable opinion Newnhort, day a Crow submarine boat sort the of the craft entertained largely in naval circles, If submarine boats are ever to be some thing more In the navy than mere toys, the enlisted men of the service must be made so familiar with them that a submarine cruise will to be regarded as a novelty.

One of these patient schol ars, we are told, has just hit upon a Volapuk which he calls “Clarison.” and which “containg no letter which is not in every continental alphabet, and no vocal sound which an English. man, a Frenchman, a German, or an Italian would have to learn.” A short- er way to a universal language, we believe, would be to turn three or four babies of every European nationality loose on a desert island, with plenty of food, for ten years, and then see what *ugue they had evolved. The commissioner of the general land office has ordered the demolition of the so-called “drift” fences on the government grazing grounds in New Mexico. Some years ago it was found that the cattle would “drift” many miles across the plains before the winter blizzards, involving the cattle men in heavy expense In gathering them up in the spring. To prevent this the “drift” fences were bullt and became so multiplied that vast areas were cut up in fenced-in sections, As it Is illegal to Inclose any portions of these public lands, the commissioner has ordered the fences taken down, and the cattlemen are protesting.

The Boston Transcript says that “store opening” is a new business in the Hub. It secs that enterprising real estate agents who have little stores to let in residential districts have discovered that an establishment in full running order, well stocked and presenting a clean, businesslike ap- pearance, Is much more likely to at- tract the eye of a prospective tenant than an empty store with unwashed windows and a cobwebbed celling. The agents therefore employ “store openers” — generally women « whose business It is to stock untenanted stores temporarily (the capital being supplied by the real estate dealers) and to conduct the same until rent ts are found, G.
