WRITING about "Club T-ifo
Ainonp OntcBsts," in Har
per, Josinh Flvnt, who
lins lived with trumps nml
knows them belter, perhaps, thu auy
other author, snys:
llio most interesting of these im
promptu clubs in the ouo colled in the
vermicular 'The Knni;roo Court. " It
is found almost entirely in county
jnils iti which potty ofl'ondcrs aud per
sons awaiting trial are confined. Dur
ing tho day the prisoucra nre allowed
the freedom of n lure hall, aud nt
nis'lit they lodge iu eolln, the locks of
which nre sometimes fastonod and
sometimes not. The hall contains
tables, benches, daily papers, and, in
tome instances, stoves and kitchen
uteusiln. The prisouurs can and do
walk, jump and play various games.
After a whilo these games become tire
some, and "luo Knugaroo Court is
formed. It consists of all the prison
ers, and the oflieers nre elecled by
them. The positions thcr fill nre the
'judgeship," the "searchership," the
'spankcrship" Bnd general "jury-
ship." To illustrate the duties of
these various officials, I shall give a
personal experience in a oouuty jail in
New York State. It was my first en
counter with "The Kangaroo Court,"
I had been arrested for sleeping in
an empty "box-cs,r." The watshinan
lound me and lodged me in the station-house,
where I spent a most
gloomy night wondering what my
punishment would bo. Early in the
morning I was brought before "the
quire." . He asked me what my name
might be, and I replied that "it might
be Billy Rice."
"What are von doing around hore.
Billy?" he queried further.
".Looking for work, your Honor."
"Thirty days," he thundered at mo,
and I was led away to the jail proper.
I bad three companions at the time.
and after we had passed the sheriff
and his olerk, who had noted down all
(acts, imaginary and otherwise, that
we bad cared to give him about our
family histories, we were ushered pell
mell into the large ball. Surrounded
tn a twinkling by the other prisoners,
we were asked to explain our general
principles and misdemeanors. This
over, and a few salutations exchanged,
a tall and lanky rogue cried ont in a
loud voice :
"The Kangru will now Meet."
There were about twenty present,
and they soon planted themselves
about ns in a most solemn manner.
Some rested on their haunches, others
lounged against the walls, and still
others sat quietly on the tlag-stoues.
A.8 soon as eutire quiet had been
reached, the tall fellow, who, by-the-way,
was the judge, instructed a hlf
grown companion, whom he nick
named "the searcher," to bring his
charges against the new-comers. He
approached ns solemnly and in a most
conventional manner, and said:
"Prizners you is charged with
bavin' boodle in yer pockets. WhV
does ye plead guilty or not guilty?"
I was the first in line, and pleaded
not guilty.
"Are ye willin' to be searched?"
asked tho judge.
"I am, your Honor," I replied.
Then the searcher inspected all my
pockets, the lining of my coat, the
leather band inside my hat, my shoes
and Bocks, and finding nothing in tho
shape of money, declared that I was
guiltless.
"You are discharged," exclaimed
the judge, aud the jurymen ratified
the decision with a grunt.
A young fellow, a vagrant by pro
fession, was the next case. He plead
ed not guilty, and allowed himself to
be searched. But unfortunately he
had forgotten a solitary cent which
was in bis vestpocket. It was quickly
confiscated, and he was remanded for
trial on the charge of contempt of tho
"Kangru." The next victim pleaded
guilty to the possession of thirty-six
cents, aDd was relieved of half. The
last man, the guiltiest of all, although
he pleaded innocence, was found out,
and his three dollars were taken away
from him instnnter ; he too, wac
charged with contempt of court. His
case came up soon after the prelimi
naries wereover, an.l he was sentenced
by the judge to walk the length of the
corridor one hundred and three times
each day of his oontiuomont, besides
washing all the dishes used at dinner
for a week.
After all the trials were over, the
confiscated money was handed to the
geuuino turnkey, with instructions
that it bo invested iu tobacoo. Later
in the day the tobacco was bron -lit
into the jail and equally divided
among all the prisoners.
The next day I, with the other late
arrivals, was initiated as a member of
tha Kangaroo Court. It was a very
simple proceeding. I had to promise
that 1 would always do my share of the
necessary cleaning and washing, and
also be honest and fair in judging the
cases which might como up for trial.
Since then I have had opportunities
of sludiug other Kuuaroo Courts,
but they have all been very much like
the one I have just described. They
are both bocialistio and autocratic,
and at times they are very funny. But
wherever they are they command the
respect of jailbirds, and if a prisoner
insults the court he is punished very
severely. Moreo ver, it avails him
nothing to complain to the authori
ties. He has too many ugainst him,
and tho best thing he can do is to be
come one of them us soon as possible.

Ostrich farmers who rushed into the
business a few yer.s ago wheu it was
first boomed have found that it is not
all their fancy painted. Instead of be
coming multi-millionaires iu a few
years, many of them have not paid ex
penses; others have made a littlo
mouey, but less thaa the same amount
of capital aud labor would have
brought them in uluiojt any other
busiuess.
Tho great mistuko was tho failure to
realize that tho ostrich, being still
wil ', could not successfully be sub
jected to the same treatment and con
ditions uuder which domesticated ani
mals an I birds will thrive. In con
finement they multiply but slowly
uu 1 produce feathers of au inferior
grde, while their vicious instincts
are still bo strong that it is often im
possible to remove tho feathers with
out killiug the bird. To make tho
busiuetis the sucoess expected it is
ueoessary to gain more experience in
tho proper management of the os
triches, and by a careful course of
breediug to eradicate or tame down
the wild nuture so that they may be

HOW TO COMBAT TRI SALOOS.
At the Bloomlngdnle Church, In New York,
the Rev. Madison C. Peters preached to a
congregation of young men on "The Man
Traps of tho City." Tho permon was not
sensational, as its title might Imply, but
dealt simply with an abstract phase of the
situation. The preacher began by reading
this extract from a letter by Abraham B.
Hewitt:
"Outside tho domestio circle provision
should bo mado by tho city, by the churches,
and by every social organization to give the
young healthful amusements. I sometimes
wonder that any boy in New York grows up
in the paths of virtue."
Following up this Idea, Mr. Totem said:
"Tho only way to eombnt tho saloon and the
lower class of amusements is by giving the
people something better. Under existing so
cial conditions the saloon supplies the popu
lar want and tho masses stand by it, though
It Is their worst enemy, and they will stand
by it until some counter attraction Is pro
vided them. It would bo a wise charity for
some rich man to give tho poor a first class
place of amusement. As an ethical question,
every one agrees that amusements are a
necessity. Tho iniiid, if kept on a stonily
stretch of duty, will lose its healthy action.
There is not, iu all this great city to-dnv, a
place where tho great masses enn get first
oloss amusement at reasonable rates.
"If tho churches want to counteract the
saloon evil they must establish people's
club9, where all kinds of innocent games and
amusements can bo given. Our saloons are
invested with all tho attractions which the
wealth of the brewers, who own most of
them, can give them."
A COLO WATEB ST0BY.
Somewhere lives a farmer of such social
habits that bis coming home intoxicated was
onoe no unusual thing. His wife urged him
In vain to reform. "Why," be would say,
"I don't like to break off at once; It ain't
wholesome. Tho best way is always to got
used to a thing by degrees, you know."
"Very well, old man," his helpmeet would
rejoin, "see now if you don't fall into a bole,
ono of these days, while you can't take cars
of yourself, aud nobody uonrto take you out."
Sure enough, as if to verify tho prophecy, a
couple of days after, returning from a glor
lous frolic, tho old fellow reeled Into his own
well, aud nfter a deal of useless scrambling
sbiutedtor his wife to come and help him
out.
"Didn't I tell you so," said tho good wo
man, showing her cap-frill over the edge of
tho parapet; "you've got into a hole at Inst,
and it's only lucky I'm in hearing or you
might have drowned."
"Well," she continued, after a pause, let
ting down the bucket, "take hold." Aud up
he came, higher at evory turn of tho wind
lass, until, tho old lady's grasp slipping from
tho handle, down he went to tho bottom,
again. This occurring more than once made
tho temnirary occupant of tho well suspic
ious. "Look here,' he screamed in fury, at
the lnt splash, "you're doing that on pur
pose, I know you nre."
"Well, now I am," resiionded his wife,
tranquilly, whilo winding him up once more;
"didn't you toll mo it's best to get used to a
thing by degrees' I'm 'fratd if I was to
bring vou right up ou a sudden, you wouldn't
find it wholesome."
The old fellow could not help chuckling at
her application of his principle, aud pro
tested that ho would sign the pledge on tha
Instant, if she would lift him fairly out. This
she did, aud packed him off to "swear in" a
Soon as ho got dry clothes ou.

Novel Advertising Scheme.
A novel scheme of advertising is
accomplished by moans of the tricycle.
A Fronoh inventor is using tho ma
chine for printing various trado state
ments on the pavements of l'nris. This
font is accomplished by moms of im
mense typos set into the tiro of tho
hind wheels of tho machine. Ink is
nsed in the printing and the typo is
made of rubber. Enoh r.ibber typo
is independently inserted in the wheel
so that it enn be removed and othor
typo inserted. Thus the machine cau
be mado to print any sontenco whoso
length is not longer than tho circum
ference of the wheel.
A reservoir, or fountain of ink is
situated back of tho soat and flows to
rollers, which boar on tho top of the
wheels. Then as the bitter loll around
the ink is conveyed to tho pavement
and tho impression of tho letters is
loft there. Whilo the streets of Tnris
are traditionally clean, yet there is al
ways enough dust which would be
caught up by the iuk-facod type, a
condition which would result very
soon in tho clogging of tho machine.
To prevent this a littlo blower, or bel
lows, is placed in front of each wheel,
aud as tho machine moves it ejects
wind enoigh to blow away all dust
immediately in lino with tho wheel.

(From Journal, Lewitton, Mr.)
Samuel R. Jordan has just given tha Jour
nal an account ot his life, which in vlow of
his extremely hard lot for the past fow years
will be read with Interest.
"I am 48 yours old and have always lived
In Now Portland. I enlisted In the army In
1862 as a private in Company A, 34th Ma.
Volunteers. My army experience Injured my
health to some extent, although I worked at
blacksmithlng some part of the time, when
iuddenly, several years ago, I was prostrated
with what able physicians pronounced Lo
comotor Ataxia. At first I oould got around
somewhat, yet tho disease progressed quite
rapidly until I had hardly any fooling In my
legs and foot, they felt like sticks of wood
and I grew so much worse that I could not
move for three years without help, as my
neighbors aud friends could testify. I em
ployed several physicians In my vicinity, and
elsewhere, nnd they all told me that modi
oines would not help mo, that they could do
nothing to effect a euro, and that tn time I
should become entirely helpless. I became
discouraged. I was a groat care to my wife
and friends. Shortly after I met an old army
comrade, Mr. All. I'arlin, a resident of Mad
ison, Maine, and he Incidentally mentioned
how he had tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
a severe ease of rheumatism aud a spinal and
malarial trouble, that he had suffered with
consequent of his army lire, and been greatly
benefited by their use. Ry bis earnest rec
ommendation I was induced to try tho pills.
After taking them for a time I began to fool
prickly sensations in my logs and a return of
strength so I oould move them a little. After
a few weeks I began to fool a marked Im
provement In my condition. I soon was en
abled to walk around a little with the help
of crutches. After taking for some time I
can now walk without crutches, my general
health is much Improved and I have re
gained my old-time vigor. I con walk
about and enjoy life once more, for which I
fool very thankful, and this happy result Is
due to the use of Dr. Williams' l'iuk Pills."
Dr. Williams' rink I'HIb for Tale Peoplo
are not a patent medicine In tho sense thnt
name Implies. They were first compounded
as a prescription and used as such in general
practice by an eminent physician. Bo grout
was their efllcacy that it was doomed wise to
place them within the reach of all. They
are now manufactured by tho Dr. Williams'
Medicine Company, Bchcueetady, N. Y., and
are sold tn boxes (never in loose form by tho
dozen or hundred, and the public are cau
tioned against numerous imitations sold in
this shaie) at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for
J. 50, aud may bo had of all druggists or di
rect by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine
Company.

A GREAT G
Perhaps you may think that Scott's Emulsion is
only useful to fatten babies, to round up the angles and
make comely -nd attractive, lean and angular women
and fill out the hollow cheeks and stop the wasting of
the consumptive, and enrich and vitalize the blood of
the scrofulous and anaemic persons. It will do all this
but it will do more. It will cure a
Hard, Stubborn Cough
when the ordinary cough syrups and specifics entirely
fail. The cough that lingers after the Grip and Pneu
monia will be sof tened and cured by the balsamic heal
ng and strengthening influences of this beneficent
food-medicine namely, Scott's Emulsion of Col-liver
Oil and Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda.
Refuse substitutes. They are never as good.
