Much Law, Poor Case.
Among lawyers there is a saying
that in the trial of a case an attorney
if light on facts mast be h^avy on law.
The other day an attorney was prepar
ing to leave his office In one of the big
office buildings to go to the courthouse
to try a case. From the shelves of his
library he had taken many large law
books containing decisions and opin
ions of higher courts. At Intervals a
boy went In and out of the door, and
each time he bore In his arms a stack
of the books, which he carried to an
express wagon that stood in the street
below. The attorney was to use the
books in the courtroom. Another law
yer, who is of southern birth and who
always addresses liis friends with
some army title, watched the boy as he
went in and out carrying the law
books. Then he dug his hands deep
Into his trousers pockets and said to
the lawyer:
“Well, Ah’ll sweah, kunnel, you must
have no case at all.”—Kansas City
Times.

Snow and Rain.
The first man to whom It ever oc
curred to find out how sguch rain was
represented by a given fall of snow
was Alexander Brice of Kirknewton,
who in March, 1765, made a simple ex
periment with the contents of a stone
jug driven face downward into over
six Inches of snow. What he learned
was that a greater or less degree of
cold or of wind when the snow falls
and Its “lying a longer or shorter time
on the ground” will occasion a differ
ence in the weight and in the quantity
of water produced, “but if,” he added,
“I may trust to the above trials, which
I endeavored to perform with care,
■now newly fallen, with a moderate
gale of wind, freezing cold, will pro
duce a quantity of water eqnal to one-
tenth part of Its bulk.” So that a fall
of snow of ten Inches represents a
rainfall of one Inch.—London Chroni
cle.
The Adder.
A full grown adder may measure
two feet in length and about six
inches around the thickest part of Its
body. Its movements are sluggish, and
of course the Idea that it Is capable of
transferring its head from one extrem
ity to the other every six months Is due
simply to superstition. The fact is
that the tall of this snake does not
terminate In a point, as with ophidians
generally, but Is stumpy and resem
bles the bead so much that It Is diffi
cult for an observer situated at a dis
tance of a few yards to distinguish the
one from the other; hence the story of
Its being two headed, the fallacy of
which no Intelligent observer conld
fall to detect—Pioneer.

Rxprees Company Profits. .
Jfo commission win ever be able Id !
find out the extent of the profits made \
out of the carrying business in this ,
oountry, but the recent handing out of
$24,000,000 of surplus profits hy the
Express company reveals one
branch of It which has made many of
our multimillionaires. Within ten
years $86,000,000 have been paid to
shareholders of this company In addi
tion to regular annual dividends, which
may represent as high as 40 or M per
cent return on tbe capital actually in
vested In the business.
Others of the big express companies
are ’'paying large dividends. In one
way and another the officials of the ex-,
press companies are linked with the
railroads. It transpired last summer
that Harriman was a heavy owner of
express company stock and able to
manipulate the vast surplus of one
of the transcontinental corporations.
Aside from the question as to the rea
sonableness of the rates charged by
the express companies, there is a point
to consider in the duplication of the
work and cost and a diversion of prof
its under the present system. The rail
roads carry the express freight without
providing extra facilities. They could
handle some of the business themselves
and thereby add to their own profits,
which they claim to be so small as not
to justify reduction in rates; also some
of the money going into the $24,000,000
watermelon would have gone to the
postal department if we had a parcels
post system. Mr. Hill says that the
railroads are not making money enough
to keep their plants up to the capacity
demanded by the country’s business.
Charges are made that railroad de
mands for,carry ing the mails are ex
cessive in some cases. That somebody is
making big money out of the railroad
plants is shown by the express profits.
If part of those profits should go to
the railroad owners the roads and
eventually the whold’ people would be
gainers.

What the Steerage Brings Us.
It is a common notion in this country
that the human movement to America
is made up largely of driftwood and
that the vicious, idle and even criminal
classes predominate. Some most horri
ble propensities are found among our
immigrants, and it is the settled belief
that only by stringent laws and cease
less vigilance can we escape a flood of
undesirables. S.
Now, race prejudice is very strong,
and Americans are not free from it
Because a few foreigners go wrong it
does not 1 follow that all Immigrants
from the land represented by the few
are a bad lot. The European view,
baaed on bard facts, disputes this in
dictment. In the past Germany has
complained, with good reason, that all
the ablebodied young men ran off to
America. The steerage population
proved it Now several European
countries are protesting that the bone
and sinew of the agricultural districts
are moving westward. Small farmers
and village tradesmen are emigrating,
and industry and agriculture are suf
fering. Both views cannot be right
We do get a percentage of criminals
and paupers and would gladly cut
them ont. But if we are getting the
kind of stuff Europe is anxious to keep
at home it is worth our while to make
a shajp distinction and while snubbing
the wrong sort welcome the right sort.
There are more where they come from.

Unquestionably things of great inter

in that vast population is impossible of

and what it is of the utmost impor
