Chandler, t.i Iking About the situation.
“The Republicans now have a majority
of eight, and it will take four Demo

In some of the states the Democrats
the Republicans have an

It is the intention of the Republicans to
secure the right of the people of their

to elect their senators according to the

l-enutlioning of Tree Trunk*.
In reply to tlie query whether branches
which are now too iow for convenience
will get higher in time when tlie trunk
of tlie tree lengthens, Meehan, in his Il
lustrated Monthly, says:
It is a general impression that the
trunks.of trees lengthen, but this is not
the case. The trunk of a tree, being
once formed, does not lengthen a frac
tion, no matter if it lives to 100 years’.
A branch from a trunk that is now, say.
gix feet from the ground will have the
center of that branch still six feet from
the ground no matter how many years
elapse. If branches are therefore now
too low, they had better be cut off at
onee. Again, it is worth remembering
iu cutting off branches that they should
always be ent close to the truuk or to
any main branch, so that the wound
may heal over. If the branch is very

Neither of us bad any money' to start

as we could do. So our little shop kept
growing until it btc une the busiest
place of any shop in the city, snd I
venture to say we cleared about as much
as any of tho larger business houses.
I had laid way enough t<' get me a nice

Chicago, Dec. 22.—A remarkable jury
was sumuuirily dealt- with by Judge
Brentano. It was the case in which the.
mother of 9-year-old Mabel Angel was
suing Brown & Co., contractors, for
§25,000 damages in causing the death of
the child. The jurors petitioned to
have whisky and cigars sent into the
jury room, and receiving no response
from the court, decided to have some
fuu with the judge. The result was
a verdict -finding the charge of negli
gence true and granting the plaintiff 1
cent- damages. Judge Brentano instuut-
ly set aside the verdict, adinininisleretl
a terrific tongue-lashing to the jurors,
dismissed them in disgrace and fined
the nine chief culprits to an amount
equal to their fees.
