A UNIQUE FEATURE OF X.TFE AMONG IMPRISONED TRAMPS. Trial of Prisoners by Their Fellows to Collect Tobacco Money—Ex perience la a County Jail. WRITING about "Olub Life Among Outcasts," in Har per, Josiah Flynt, who has lived with trampa and knows them better, perhaps, than any other author, says: Tho most interesting of these im promptu clubs is the one called in the vernacular "The Kangaroo Court." It is found almost entirely in county jails in which petty offenders and per sons awaiting trial are confined. Dur ing the day tho prisoners are allowed the freedom of a largo hall, and at night they lodgo in cells, the looks of which are sometimes fastened and sometimes not. The hall contains tables, benohes, daily papers, and, in some instances, stoves and kitchen utensils. The prisoners can and do walk, jump and plav various games. After a while these games beoome tire some, and ' 'The Kangaroo Court" is formed. It consists of all the prison ers, and tho officers are elected by them. The positions they fill are the "judgeship," the "searchership," the "spankership" and general "jury ship." To illustrate the duties of these various officials, I shall give a personal experience in a county 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-car." The watohmau found me and lodged me in the sta tion-house, where I spent a most gloomy night wondering what my punishment would be. Early in the morning I was brought before "the squire." Ho asked mo what my name might be, and I replied that "it might bo Billy Rice." "What are you doing around here, Billy?" he queried further. "Looking for work, your Honor." "Thirty days," he thundored at me, and I was led away to the jail propor. I had three companions at the time, and after we had passed the sheriff and his clerk, who had noted down all facts, imaginary and otherwise, that we had cared to give him about our family histories, wo were ushered pell mell into the large hall. Surrounded In a twinkling by the othor prisoners, we were asked to explain our general principles and misdemeanors. This over, and a few salutations exchanged, a tall and lanky rogue cried out in a loud voice: "The Kangru will now klect." There were about twenty present, | and they soon planted themselves ! about us in a most solemn manner. Some rested on their haunches, others lounged against the walls, and still others sat quietly on tho Hag-stones. As soon as entire quiet had been reached, the tall fellow, who, by-the way, was the judge, instructed a half- ! grown companion, whom ho nick- | named "the searcher," to bring his j charges against the new-comers. He approached us solomnly and in a most conventional manner, and said: "Prizners —you is charged with havin' boodle in yor pockets. Wha' does ye plead—guilty or not guilty?" I was the first in line, and pleaded not guilty. "Are ye willin' to bo searched?" asked tho judge. "I am, your Honor," I replied. Then the searcher inspected all my I pockets, tho lining of my coat, the leather band inside my hat, my shoes and socks, and finding nothing in the shape of money, declared that I was guiltless. "You are discharged," exclaimed the judge, and tho 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 allowod himself to be searched. But unfortunately he had forgotten a solitary cent which was in his vestpoeket. It was quickly confiscated, and he was remanded for trial on tho charge of contempt of the "Kangru." Tho next victim pleaded guilty to the possession of thirty-six cents, and was relieved of half. Tho last man, tho guiltiest of all, although i he pleaded innocence, was found out, i and his three dollars wore taken awav from him instanter; he too, wa& charged with contempt of court. His case came up soon after the prelimi naries wore over, and he was sentenced by the judge to walk the length of the corridor one hundred and three times each day of his confinement, besides washing all the dishes used at dinner for a week. After all the trials were over, tho confiscated money was handed to the genuine turnkey, with instructions that it be investod in tobacco. Later in the day the tobacco was brought into tho jail and equally divided smonf; all the prisoners. The next day I, with tho other late arrivals, was initiated as a member of the Kangaroo Court. It was a very simple proceeding. I had to promise that I. would always do iny share of tha necessary cleaning and washing, aud also be honest and fair in judging the cases which might come up for trial. Since then I have had opportunities of al.uding other Kangaroo Courts, but they have all been very much like the one I have just described. They are both socialistic and autocratic, and at times they are very funny. But wherever they are thoy command the respeot of and if a prisoner insults the court he is punished very severely. Moreover, it avails him nothing to complain to the authori ties. He has too many against him, and the best thing he can do is to be come one of them as soon as possible. Kemarkable Fire Screens.

WISE IvOHDS. Be deaf to unjust criticism. Keep your seorets to yourself. Newspapers are the best salesmen. Men view life from their own ex perience. Economy may bo as unwise as ex tr.ivagance. It is a great thing to know how to take a hint. Our motive power is always found in what we lack. Humor it ono of the most deceitful things in the world. Tho most unsatisfactory thing in tho world is the weather. Those who really deserve success rarely fail to achieve it. A thoroughly equipped lawyer ia always a closo law student. Love often makes a man miserable, but it very seldom kills him. When good seed is sown, tho better the ground tho better the crop. If some men had a bnll dog's teoth they would bite when he wouldn't.

If our faults were written oa our faces, how quick we would all liaug our heads. The more money other people make the better chance you will have to make some.

Ostrich farmers who rushed into tho business a few years ago when it was first boomed have found that it is not all their fancy painted. Instead of be coming multi-millionaires in a few years, many of them have not paid ex penses; others have made a little money, but less than tho same amount of capital and labor would have bronght them in almojt any other business. The great mistake was tho failure to realize that tho ostrich, being still \v;H, could not successfully be sub jected to the same treatment and con ditions uuder which domesticated ani mals an I birds will thrive. In cou linemcnt they multiply but slowly and produce feathers of au inferior grade, while their vicious instincts are still so strong that it is often im possible to remove the feathers with out killing the bird. To make the business the success expected it ii necessary to gain more experience in the proper management of the os triches, and by a careful course of breeding to eradicate or tame down the wild nature so that they may be approached and handled in compara tive safety. Ostrich farms will doubt less eventually prove a success, not only in California, but in Florida and Texas, but they cannot be made so in a year or two. Time, patience and skill are even more requisite in this thau in other branches of farming.—.New York World. A Duke on "Blko."

For people requiring a diet rich in phosphorus, which is an element of brain and nerve, nothing is more suit able than fish. This is particularly true of the oily varieties, thoso least fat being richest in nitrogen or flesh forming elements. Fish, to be wholesome and palata ble, should be eaten in sooons and should be perfectly fresh to secure the best flavor. The flsh should be handled as little as possible, and only sufficient water for cleanliness used in washing. Af ter being cleaned, wipe dry, sprinkle with salt and putin a cool plaoe until ready to cook. To boil fish, putin sufficient boil ing salt water to oover, to which add half a teacupfnl of strong vinegar. A kettlo with a flare perforated bottom, on which the fish can be lifted out without breaking, is the best for use, but a plate placed in the bottom of a large, round kettle may be used. It should be taken up as soon as it is done, as it" is otherwise spoiled by standing in the water. When the thickest part will readily separate from tho bone it is boilod enough. Large, fine fish are very appetizing when baked. They may be staffed with a rich bread dressing and served up or spread open and covered with a layer of dressing, put iu a dripping pan with a little water and butter, set iu a hot oven and baked ten minutes for every pound. Small fish or thin slices from a largo one will be fonnd very delicate broiled. The flesh should be clean and a doublo broiler used, the bars of which should be greased, the fish laid on and turned over the fire until cooked through. Melted butter is the newest addition to bt oiled fish. Frying is a popular Southern mode of preparing this food, and it is doubt ful if it can bo surpassed by any other. To have it in perfection a deep fry ing pan should be placed over the firo and half filled with fat. Tho fish should be cut in slices of medium thickness, seasoned with salt and pep per, rolled in corn meal and dropped in tho boiling grease. When crisp and brown it should be placed in a heated dish and garnished with parsley. Tomato sauce and cucumber catsup may be served with it. If the corn meal is disliked cracker meal or flour may bo used in its place, or the slices of fish may be dipped in a thin egg batter. All fish is improved by serv ing with sauce. White sauce is used with boiled fish. To make it heat half a pint of rich milk, thicken with a teaspoonful of flour; add two table spoonfuls of butter, a teaspoonful of mincod onion aud a few drops of lemon juice; let como to a boil, stir in the beatou yolk of an egg; add a pinch of salt and a dust ot white pepper. Drawn butter, flavored with walnut catsup, onion juioe, celery extracts, or any other flavor desired, is a suit able aocompaniment 1o large fish, either boiled or baked. Gherkin sauce for serving with fresh fish is simple cream sauce with the ad dition of chopped gherkins. Hollandaise, lobster, oyster, tortoise and shrimp sauces are all served with fish. The 'marinodo used to boil or stew fish in is made of one carrot, one onion, one clove of garlic chopped and browned in butter over tho fire, then simmered for an hour and a half in a saucepan, with a teacup of stock. When the fish is put iu the mariuode, a proper seasoning of salt, pepper, cloves aud allspice should be added. After the fish is boiled the broth may be strained, put asido aud use.l again, with the addition ot a littlo water,— Chicago Record. HOME-MADE CANDY.

Novel Advertising Scheme. A novel scheme of advertising is accomplished by means of the tricycle. A French inventor is using the ma chine for printing various trade state ments on the pavements of Paris. This feat is accomplished by mentis of im mense types set into the tire of the hind wheels of the machine. Ink is used in the printing and the type is made of rubber. Each rabber type is independently inserted in the wheel so that it can be removed and other type inserted. Thus the machine can be made to print any sentenee whose length is not longer than the circum ference of the wheel. A reservoir, or fountain of ink is situated back of the seat and flows to rollers, which bear on the top of the wheels. Then as the latter 101l around the ink is conveyed to the pavement and the impression of the letters is left there. While the streets of Paris are traditionally clean, yet thore is al ways enough dust which would be caught up by the ink-faced type, a condition which would result very soon in the clogging of the machine. To prevent this a little blower, or bel lows, is placed in front of each wheel, and as the machine moves it ejects wind eno-ngk to blow away all dust immediately in lino with the wheel. Tho machine was shown at a recent exhibition of bicycles in Paris.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Novel-Writing Under Difficulties.

"I am 48 years old and have always lived In Now Portland. I enlisted in the army in 1862 as a privato iu Company A, 28th Me. Volunteers. My army experience injured my health to some extent, although I worked at blncksmlthing some part of the time, when suddenly, several years ago, X was prostrated with what able physicians pronounced Lo comotor Ataxia. At first I could got around somewhat, yot the disease progressed quite rapidly until I had hardly any feeling in my logs aud feet, they felt like sticks of wood and I grow 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, and they all told mo that medi cines would not help me, that they could do nothing to effect a cure, and that in timo I should become entirely helpless. I becamo discouraged. I was a great care to my wife and friends. Shortly after I met an old army comrade, Mr. All. Parlin, a resident of Mad ison, Maine, and he Incidentally mentioned how ho had tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for a severe case of rheumatism and a spinal aud malarial trouble, that ho had suffered with oonsequent of his army life, and been greatly benefited by their use. By his earnest rec ommendation I was induced to try the pills. Aftor taking them for a time I began to feel prickly sensations in my legs and a return of strength so I could move them a little. After a few weeks I began to feel 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 can walk about and enjoy life onco more, for which I feel very thankful, and this happy result is due to the uso of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
