LAW AND LAWYERS. A PROFESSION IN WHICH MANY ARE CALLED, BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN. Dificolties Which Confront Young Bar- risters— How Literature and Politics Af- fect the Lawyers Prospects—He Need Not Necesmarily Be a Rascal. . Mr. Richard Dev Doyle, a prom- jnent member of tHe Norfolk bar, contributes to The Southern Maga. gino an article entitled ‘‘My Impres- gions of Law and Lawyers, ’’ which will prove very interesting to laymen as. well as to members of the legal pro fession. Mr. Doyle discusses his theme instroctively, entertainingly and with © judicial impartiality and candor. He refers tc the ‘Confessions of a Junior Barrister,’ the brilliant Richgrd Lalor Shiel, ns embodying the early ex- periences of many hopeful and talented _ young lawyers. = ; : “How many, "’ says Mr. Doyle, “‘have passed through a similar course of study and preparation, perhaps. graduating in the humanities as well as the law, bearing away the prize for elocutivn “and oratory at some of our great insti- tutions of learning! How many have thought that such talents as theirs were sure to command ezrly if not immedi- ate success, und, alas! how many have peer disappointed!’’ differing. it may be added, in this respect from Shiel,. who passed safely through the depress ing period of waiting and probation which tries the soul of the ordinary ‘ Jegal neophyte, and who won the dis- - tinction of which he had dreamed at the outeet of his career. . Many of this grand army of the dis- appointed fail, Mr. Doyle thinks, not Peosuse they are lacking in ‘‘genuine talent’’ which is “frequently of a high order, ’’ but ‘ ‘because there are so many other elements that should but do not enter into the calculation’’ of the youth- ful aspirant. Youth, for one thing, “is too sapguire and expects too much ‘Some fail because of their bad personal habits; some by infirm health and too hard study and confinement are stricken down, like poor Kirk White, ‘when life js in its spring; some are not politic enough to woo the world, but hold ~ proudly aloof, trusting to their talents and knowledge, while the busy world bustling by withont stopping to look at their credentials.’ Some stray into the pleasant and flowery paths of literature and some into the seductive field of politics. : " «A literary reputation ’’ Mr. Doyle declares, ‘‘is perhaps more dangerous than a political one, wspecially if one is . given, like Mr. Wegg, to dropping into ; The sage is too practical for a successful combinaticn of law and liter- ature. A lawyer may and should be: cultivated, but he must not be known as a litzeratenr or a poet.’’ Nor will it do for the young lawyer to seek to make himself known by going into politics. To do so ‘‘is a risky venture for one who intends to make law the profession of a lifetime, and even a reputation for political oratory is of Yittie if any bene- fit to a lawyer. The public soon come to regard him as a politician and may be willing to vote with him or for him, but not to give him business.” Turning from the ennses of failure to . the quaiities important to what is ordi- parily deemned success, Mr. Doyle suin- ‘marizes them as follows: “Love of the profession and evident desire to get business and attention to ii when in ‘band; industry and the appearance of industry and good native sense, with an aggressive and partisan temperament. Fluency of speech, eloquence of diction and genuine oratorical talent are use- fal, but not essential.” This partisan and aggressive spirit, which is akin to what Lord Bacon ealls “boldness,” Mr. Doyle considers a particularly impor- tant clement of success. ‘‘Men ‘hire’ Jawyers, as the expression is among the people, to attend to their business and to fight their battles, right or wrong. and the mwyer who goes into a case thoroughly imbued with the client's feelings, believing or making believe that he is certainly right and the other party an unmitigated rascal, is sure to please.’ : As to the ethioal side of the law, Mr. Doyle admits that much may be said pro and con, Ome of the demoralizing features of the profession is that ‘‘a lawyer cannot choose his cases.” He is sometimes on the wrong side, the + side of falschood apd injustice, and when on the wrong side ‘‘there is al- most itesistibie temptation (0 express belief in the justice of his cause, and _ lswyers too often yield to it, thus giv: ing some ground for the popular accu- sation that lawyers He for their clients." . After all, whether “‘the law is a noble and elevating profession’ ‘depends upon the men.’’ There is nothing in the natare of his profession which compels a * Jawyer to be a rasonl. It has its temp- tations, bmt so has every other business. Many hard things have been said of lawyers, but the account is pearly bal- anced by the complimentary things that they have said of themselves and of their profession. Bir Edward Coke speaks of ‘‘the gladsome Tight of juris- prudence, ’’ and a lack of self apprecia- tion is not in general one of the defects of the disciples of the law. They bave, however, the consolation of knowing that in spite of all the abuse to which they have been subjected by satirical writers aud poets they are not only use- ful but essential members of society, and that (hose who abuse them most are generally the very first to rush to the -Jawyers to avenge Or protect them in their hour of need. —Baltimore Sun. ; In the constellation of Orion there is a star known as Theta Orionis, which, when viewed through a powerful tele- soope, sppears as a sextuple star, thus ting the magnificent panorama of sevon stars revolving about each other.

"It riled him to see it, and when his eve fell upon a pale faced little woman holding on to a strap, while a large, lary looking man gat near by, he- could pot remain silent . “Spa here, said he to the big man, “here is a lady standing while yon have aseat.’’ ‘Yes’ said the big man. ““Well, don’t you think you ought tc give up your seat to this woman, whe has probably been hard at work during the day®"’ : “No ' : “Yon don’t?’ “1 do not. ”’ “Well." said the little man as he braced himself, *'I do, and I am going to yank you clean out of this-car.”’ He grabbed the big man by the coll and proceeded to drag him off the seat, but was interrupted by the woman, who grabbed him by the hair. “Hold on!’ cried the little mun. “That's what I'm doing,’ said the woman. : “But I mean let upon this. What do you mean by attacking me?’ “*Look-a-here,’ said the female, “1 didn't ask you to get me a seat. Besides I want you to know that man you have bold of is my bushand.”’ * The little man let go of the hig man, and the woman Jet go ber hold on the hair, and order was restored, but “the little man was quies until he reached ‘the end of his route, wheri he left the car, when he was heard to mutter, s And such is life!''—Peck’s Sun. EVOLUTION OF NIAGARA. The Estimates as to the Age of the World Famous Cataract, Professor J. W. Spencer says the iirst conjecture as to the age of Niagara falls was made by Andrew Ellicots, in 1790. Ellicott believed the falls to be 35,000 years old.. About 184 1 Lyle estimated the age of the falls as 35,000 yars. All of these early estimates were purely con- jecture, but they were correct in assum- ing that the gorge had been pxeavated by the river. Professor Spencer, in out- lining the progress of the falls, says that a little stream basin once fell about 200 feet above the brow of the Niagara escarpment.

During the early history of the river 3 the waters. of the three upper lakes emptied through the Huron basin by way of the Ottawa river. The height of the falls has increased several times. The first episode, representeG by asmall river falling 200 feet, lasted about 11,- © 000 years, Then the height of the falls was increased to 400 feet ard took the drainage of the upper freat lakes. Atthe game time there was a series of cas- cades, threo in all, the lower gaining on the upper until finally they were all anited in one great cataract much high- . er than that of today. Subsequently the waters were raised at the “ead of Lake Ontario, and the falls approximated to the present condi- tions afier a lapse of 17,000 years from the end of the first episode. The age of the present falls is put at 1,000 years, and another 1,000 years wis probably occupied by transitional chisnges of » very gradual character. It is now 8,000 years since Lake Huron emptied into Lake Erie for the first time. The land has risen about the outlet of Lake Erie, and if the present rate of chunge cantin- pes in 3,000 or 6,000 years the waters of the four upper lakes will be turned into the Mississippi river drainage at Chi- cago. — Pittsburg Dispatch. : Do. Trees Require Sleep? . In the larger cities, where shade trees are few and scattering, electric lights seem to have no visible effect upon their folisge. In the towns and villages, however, many of which have their elec- tric light systeras, the effect is very no- ticeable, the leaves appeariag as though they had been subjected to the blight- ing breath of a harsattan. The question was recently discussed ats meeting of the eastern sboriculturists, the concle- gion being that trees need darkness in order that they may slgep, and that be- _ing continually kept awakn and active they have been worn out and made urely old by the action of the. light. That this is probably the correct solution of the mystery of the drooping leaves may be judged from the fact that similar trees in the neighborhood of those affected, though not exposzd to the illumination, still retain their color and scem bright and strong. —3St. Louis Republic.
