The Ciutse of Mar Between Ileury Friiwick and Thoinns Horner. A lively case was settled Saturday at Alderman Bunnell's. The original case was over a fence which was broken by the defendant, but this grew into sev eral others. A fence separates the properties of Henry Tenwlck and Thomas Horner, of Fell township. The tu.n mon lived fin the friendliest terms until last week, when one of Horner's cows broke down the fence and entered Tenwlck's field. When Tenwlck saw the bovine devouring what had cost him much hard labor, he became angry and proceeded to secure the animal for damages. In the race after the cow he trespassed on Horner's land. A few days later, when the parties met, they decided to settle the matter with their fists. Both men were badly bruised, but were not satisfied. Tenwlck then went to Alderman Glynn's and had Horner arrested. Before being discharged Hor ner had to ray for the damages done by his cow. The case fur trespass came off nt Alderman Bunne'l's. It occupied considerable time, but the two men de cided to settle the matter without the aid of the law and the case was dis charged. GRADUATES AT ST. ROSE.

Each booth was trimmed with laurel and other greens and decorated with the class colors, containing seats for the guests. Three hundred and fifty invitations had been issued . to the alumni, high school, and others connected with the institutions and about 2S0 persons were present. I'rof. O. W.

The school entertainment to be held on next Tuesday evening at Smith's music hall will be for the benefit of the school library. It Is hoped that this worthy cause will be liberally patron ized.

THE METRIC SYSTEM. It May Not Be the Best, but It li Certainly Better Than No Sys ten at AIL From the Philadelphia Press. The Popular Science Monthly for June contains a very elaborate argu ment against the metric system by Her bert Spencer. He bases his objection to it mainly on two points; first, that the French meter, the basis of the system, does not fulfill the requirements of scientific and ideal perfection; secondly, that division by tenths Is not the most natural, convenient and suitable. Di vision by halves, quarters, eighths, etc., answer ordinary purposes much better than by tenths, while there Is a frequent need of division by thirds, sevenths, etc., which the decimal system can only ap proximate. There Is force In this argument. It has been used from the beginning against the metric system, yet it has not prevented its adoption by nearly every country In continental Europe. This argument will be used In congress against the pending Stone bill for the adoption of the metric system of weights and measures In the United States. Di visions by halves and quarters are con venient, but they are not necessarily In compatible with the metric system. The United States adopted the decimal prin ciple of the metric system In Its cur rency notation; and its eagles, dollars, dimes and cents, whne convenient for purposes of calculation, do not Inter fere In the least with the coinage and current use of half dimes, quarters and half dollars, quarter, half and double eagles. We have the convenience of the decimal notation and the convenience of dividing or multiplying by two when It suits us better. This may be Illogical and inconsistent, but it is very useful and nobody wants to change it. OUR CONFUSED SYSTEM. Our system of weights and measures is In confusion, and a reform Is demand ed. We have a pound avoirdupois and a lighter pound Troy. On the other hand, the ounce avoirdupois la lighter than the ounce Troy. We have long and short tons, and some tons that are between the two. It is a matter to be deter mined whether a hundred weight In a special case means 100 pounds or 112. The milk dealers buy milk of the farm ers by beer measure of 2S2 cubic Inches to the gallun and sell it to the city con sumer by wine measure of 231 cubic Inches to the gallon when full. Every state has Its own bushel measure or several of them, and none of them agree with the English bushel. At nearly every session of the Pennsylvania leg islature a law is passed regulating the size of the bushel as to some commodity. The committee on coinage, weights and measures In the houe of representa tives In reporting the Stone bill has this to say about the bushel: "The bush el of oats varies from 26 pounds In Maryland to 36 pounds In Oregon and Washington. The bushel of barley weighs 32 pounds In Louisiana and CO In California. The laws of New York and Oregon make 42 pounds of buck wheat a bushel, while those of Minne sota and Nebraska call for 52 pounds and Kentucky 56 pounds. The bushel of rye weighs 32 .pounds In Louisville, but grows to 56 pounds In Ohio, and most of the states. Potatoes weigh 50 pounds to the bushel In Washington, 66 in Pennsylvania and 60 In Ohio and many of the other states. In Maine 44 pounds make a bushel of apples, while 67 are required In Wisconsin. A bushel of salt weighs but 50 pounds In Vir ginia and several of the states, but reaches 70 in Massachusetts, and brings diwn the scales at SO In Colorado. Ver mont, however, seems to' have reached the climax of absurdity when she pro vides by comparatively' recent legisla tion still In force that In measuring certain specified comodities "one bushel and three-quarters of a peck shall be deemed a bushel.' " NO SYSTEM AT ALL. This Is not a system; it Is confusion worse confounded. It calls for a rem edy. The constitution makes it the dirty of congress to establish a uniform system of weUrhts and measures. Pos sibly the metrtlc system of France could be Improved upon, but It has become the system of Europe, except in Russia, Den mark and Great Britain. It Is In use In part of Asia, In a considerable por tion of Africa, In South America, Con tral America and Mexico, and its use is being steadily extended. For scientific work it Is m use all over the world. Its general adoption would bring order out of the chaos which now prevails and make our weights and measures corres pond with those In use In the greater po) tlon of the civilized world. It would no1, compel a disuse of ordinary division by halving and rehalvlng, or even ne- 1 cesBartly dispense with the accustomed terms of measurements. The Stone bill contemplates that the metric system shall be the basis of our weights and measures, but that In Its application the fixed customs and convenience of the people shall be taken Into account. It Is a hard matter to bring about a change of this character In a democrat ic government because tt Is bound to be unpopular until it Is understood, and It can never be generally understood un til It has been put Into use. Probably this this country will not anticipate England In adopting the metric system. Meanwhile, let us try and remember when traveling In Vermont that "one bushel and three-quarters of a peck is deemed a bushel.

Beproduction is a law of nature, and BO picture of joy and happiness can qua! that of the vigorous mother and her sturdy child.
