A Lady Lawyer’s Retort.
Judge Tyler, of San Francisco, is well
known to the b # ar of that city as a most
formidable opponent, both forensically and
physically, as many a “ learned counsel” upon
the other side has found out to his sorrow.
The Judge, who is so used to dominating
his brethren of the bar, recently met bis match
in the lady lawyer of San Franeisco, Clara
S. Foltz, who clipped his wind in a manner
that well nigh suffocated him. The storj- is
too good to be lost.
The case of Tyler vs. the Hibernia Savings
Bank was pending before one of the City
Courts, involving the righttoaedrtain deposit
of funds in said bank. Tyler was his cwn
attorney, and Mrs. Foltz was attorney for the
bank. It seems that 'Tyler, by a little bit of
sharp practice, was trying to ring in a 44 cold
deck” in the shape of a default that had been
erroneously dated, the admission of which by
the Judge upon the bench would have sent
the defendant out of court. Mrs. Foltz showed
up the matter satisfactorily to the court and
the default was promptly set aside. This
nettled Judge Tyler considerahl}’, and turning
to the lady counsel he said sharpl}’, in a
manner intended to be intensely impressive,
that 44 counsel had better be engaged in other
business,” that “a woman’s place was at home
raising her children.”
The words were scarcely uttered before
Mrs. Foltz rose in her queenl}’ way, and flash
ing her blue eyes straight into the Judge’s
florid face, she quietly remarked : 44 A woman
had better be engaged in almost any business
than in raising such men as yon are, sir.”
The court commanded order, but in a tone
that seemed to appreciate the justice of the
retort, while a number of lawyers in court,
some of whose heads Judge Tyler has held
in “ chancer}’” on former occasions, came
near exploding with suppressed laughter.
The counsel turned white with anger and
groaned in spirit, but concluded that it was
better to drop the subject then and there.
Hints to Men.
It is a vulgar habit to carry yotir hands in
your pockets, but not so disagreeable as to
have them in someone else’s pockets.
When a man regards himself as all suffici
ent the world is apt to think of him as insuf
ficient.
The man who can’t be angry is a fool; the
man who will not allow himself to be is wise.
A great deal of the mean criticism of the
world reminds us of the child who said,
44 Johnny, how greedy you are to take the
largest apple in the pile; I wanted that for
myself.”
We are all of us in the position of the
French marquis who declared “God will
think twice before He condemns a man of my
quality.”
Chrysostom said beautifully, so beautifully
that the words have been preserved like a fly
in amber, 44 God has given a man two eyes ;
if he lose one ho hath another. But man
hath only one soul; if he lose that the loss
can never be made up again.”
No one can know the sorrows of another’s
heart, and no one can tell where the shoe
pinches except the man who wears it.
In the matrimonial market some choose the
man without the riches, and others the riches
without the man. In after life the former
live in a flower garden and the latter in a hot
house.
Disreali w’as able to illustrate his ideas in
a very telling way. Sometimes a good story
or an effective metaphor is more potential
than the most solid of arguments. When
speaking of the tactics of Peel toward his op
ponents he said : 44 The right honorable gen
tleman caught the whigs bathing and walked
away with their clothes.”
This is a very grave question—lf Satan
should ever be chosen President of the United
States how many of us would he find entirely
worthy of his confidence ?
If it is your purpose in life to make your
face your fortune you must look well to it or
it will turn out to be your misfortune.
Lessons in Love Making.
Don't love too many at once.
Don't do your spooning in public.
Give your little brother taffy and get him
to bed before your chap calls.
Recollect that a wedding ring on your, fin
ger is worth a good many of them in vour
mind.
Try to find out by some means whether
your intended knows how to earn a decent
living for two.
Don’t be afraid to show the man of your
choice that you love him—provided, of course,
he loves you. Love is a double sided sort of
concern, and both have a part to play.
Don’t try to bring too many suitors to your
feet. They have feet as well as you have,
and you may see one pair of feet walking off
from you some day you would be very glad
to call back.
Deal carefully with bashful lovers ; lead
them gradually to the point (of proposal, of
course,) but don't let them suspect what you
arc at.
It is said lovers’ quarrels always end with
kisses. This is partly true; but if you are
FOR THE PEOPLE.
Don’t seek advice in love affairs from an
old maid who lias been crossed in love, a
bachelor who has been jilted, a woman wdio
married her husband’s poebetbook, or a man
who happens to be henpecked. Don’t confide
in your girl friends; to keep a secret in a
love affair would kill them. Don’t consult
your minister ; he’ll have his marriage fee in
view. If you go to your family physician he
will say your liver is affected instead of your
heart. If you roust get instructions from
somebody why not ask your mother how she
used to manage tilings with your father?
True love didn’t run any smoother in old
times than it docs to-day, and since she
knows how it is herself, we can’t think just
now of any better wa} r to advise you.
The Manufacture of Plate Glass.
To cast, roll, polish and burnish plate glass
requires machinery of peculiar construction,
and a 44 plant” that is costly by reason of its
complex nature. The pouring of liquid glass
from the furnace upon the cast iron plates,
and the subsequent rolling, arc processes
comparatively simple. Any housekeeper who
has used a rolling-pin on a batch of pie-crust
dough, performs an operation very similar to
this stage of plate-glass making. It is the
succeeding processes of grinding and polish
ing and final burnishing that require time and
costly mechanism. After leaving the rolls
and bed plate the glass is rippled and rough,
and only fit for gratings or skylights. Each
plate must be transferred to machines that
resemble turn-tables of a railway. On the
revolving platform the glass is cemented into
a bed of plaster of Paris, and the machine
started. Bearing heavily on the surface of
the glass are blocks of metal, and while in
motion the surfaces are kept supplied with
sharp sand and a constant stream of water.
The next stage of the glass-grinding process
is the same as to machinery, but instead of
sand coarse emery is used. Then finer emery
is used in another revolving table, and so on
for half a dozen times. The final polishing
is done by heavy reciprocating devices, fed
with rouge, and maintaining a constant back
and forward motion, and also a lateral move
ment over the surface of the crystal. All
this requires the assistance of a large force of
men, many of them skilled laborers. After
going through these different grindings and
polishings the plate that measured an inch in
thickness is only three-quarters of an inch
thick, has lost all of its roughness, and is
ready for the show-window of the purchaser.

Water as a Drink.
Many persons drink ordinarily as little
water as possible, and none at all at meal
times, because they suppose that water
dilutes the gastric juice. Experiments, how
ever, show that dilution does not diminish the
power of the gastric juice, and further, that
water alone, as well as solid food, awakens
its secretion. A paper read by Dr. Webster,
of Boston, at a meeting of a learned medical
society, took the ground that water, used
moderately at meals, is beneficial, and that a
large class of persons drink too little. The
result is, if too little water is drank—especially
if the person eats heartily—the perspiration
and the kidney secretion are diminished-
Not only they, but the waste of the system,
which can be removed only in a state of
solution, is not eliminated with sufficient
regularity and fulness, and the system be
comes gradually clogged by it. The accumula
tion is slight from day to day, but in time un
pleasant symptoms are developed. These
symptoms arc of an indefinite character—
discomfort, even pain, sometimes in one place
and soaffctimes in another, constipation, and
unhealthy hue of the skin. “ Patients,” said
Dr. Webster, “ who drank no more than a
pint of water a day have told me that they
were not thirsty. They were surprised when
told to drink more. Those who have followed
this suggestion in the course of a week have
developed thirst, and drank as many as three
pints of water a day.” We may add that
water taken into the stomach is atoncc rapidly
absorbed by the blood vessels. A bowl of
well-seasoned broth, as a first course, is
specially helpful to the above class of patients.
A large quantity of ice water is harmful to
any one.
not careful those little spats you indulge in
may end in the kisses you covet being given
to some other girl!
If it is possible, try to suit your sisters,
cousins, aunts, grandfathers, neighbors,
friends and acquaintances when you happen
to fall in love. If you can’t suit them all,
don’t worry ; the thing has never been dono
yet.
If you use powder, don't give yourself
away. For instance, it would be well to
spread a handkerchief over the shoulder of
his broadcloth before you lean thereon. He
will be too green, depend ou it, to suspect the
reason. If his moustache happens to look a
little powdery, there arc several ways in
which it could be brushed off.
Don’t imagine that a husband can live as a
lover docs—on kisses and moonlight. He
will come home to his meals hungry as a
bear, and any little knowledge of cookery you
can pick up during courtship is about the
best provision you can make for future hap
piness.
Davis’ Eulogy on the Military Fame of
Stonewall Jackson.
New Orleans, May 11.—At the conclusion
of the ceremonies attending the dedication of
the tomb of the association of the Army of
Northern Virginia, and unveiling ofthe statue
of Stonewall Jackson yesterday afternoon at
Metairc cemetery, Jefferson Davis, after com-
plimenting General Lee, addressed and con
gratulated the association on the completion
of their tomb and the monument. Referring
to Gen. Jackson, said, “From the academic
shades of the military institute he went forth
to battle for the cause of state rights, for the
government and constitutional liberty. No
body expected tljat this quiet professor would
have an opportunity to show the great quali-
ties he possessed and become the great hero
of our war. To-day he stands, in the opinion
off Europeans, so far as I know, as the miodi
tiest chieftain of the confederate cause. This
silent professor constantly rose like a meteor
over the battlefield of the confederacy—only
like a meteor in its brightness, for his light
was steady as the orb of day. It shone to the
very close in increasing brilliancy and in the
trust which the people reposed upon it. Such
was Jackson. lie lived for his country,
never doubting the justice of his cause, be
lieving it was righteous and trusting in it.
He died, as I live to-day, feeling that the con
federacy ought to have succeeded because it
was founded on truth and justice. He gave his
life for the whole country and theeountry gave
its heart to Jackson. You, the men upon whom
he leaned in the hour of danger, in honoring
him also honor 3-ourselves.”
The Morgue.
Ihere is no end to the awful statistics con
nected with the use of intoxicating liquors,
the traffic in which is defended with as muelj
earnestness as if the lives, instead of the
wretchedness and death, of a vast multitude
depended on it. One of our city papers last
week published the statistics of the Morgue,
from which it appears that there are about
five thousand bodies carried tp .it every year
to await identification, many of which are
buried in pauper graves. Thq article referred
to says:
“ The great feeder of the Morgue is not
disappointed love, broken ambition, dire
want, cruel neglect, but drunkenness. Eight
eases out of ten, said t}ie keeper, can be at
tributed to that as the indirect cause.”
Four-fifths of all these miserable deaths are
to be traced to the dram-shops, of which we
have about ten thousand in full blast, and
the officers of the law will scarcely raise a
finger to shut up the illegal shops or to re
strain the illegal manufacture of drunkards
by those which are licensed. And yet this is
but a drop in the ocean ofrmisery which comes
from this source. Will the citizens ever rise
up and compel the officers of the law to do
their duty, and to protect society against the
flood of wretchedness and crime and death
that starts from the grog-shops ?—New York
Observer.
How Spring Crops Often Fail.
In spring, usually when plowed, the soil is
moist from winter rains and snows, and there
fore compacts more readily than in the fall.
But it is well known that oats and barley
rarely do well on sod ground, especially if old
and tough. Why ? There is strength enough
in the soil, but it is apt to become very dry
about the time the grain is heading out, of
ten before. The sod is too stiff to pack solid,
and the roots of grain encounter places where
there is a vacancy between the particles of
earth. In hoed crops we remedy this by
frequent cultivation. It is this which makes
the magical result from the use ot the cultiva
tor. but directly under the hill no implement
will reach. Unless tiie soil has become thor
oughly compacted before planting, it will be
hard work to do it afterwards. An intelligent
farmer remarked the other day that the coarse
manure he drew on his potato ground and
plowed under last April had absolutely dam
aged the crop. The sod was heavy, and the
coarse manure had lain underneath, prevent
ing either from rotting. In digging into some
of the poorest hills of potatoes, he invariably
found a hollow space beneath the hill, and
unrotted manure or sod. On a portion of the
field he had used a pulverizer and roller, and
there the crop was much better and the weakly
hills very few. He would have pulverized
the entire field, but a heavy rain came on when
it was half-finished, and he relied on that to
compact the soil, but it had not done it
effectually. —Country Gentleman.
Bark Lice.
A correspondent: “ I have a young or
chard, and the trees haye got covered with
lice. Would you give me some information
through your columns what would be best to
destroy them ?”
Reply. —ln the middle or latter part of May,
the young bark lice hatch out, and are then
tender and easily destroyed. At all other
periods of the year the scale covering them
is sufficient to protect them from almost
everything except coal oil, and this is injuri
ous to the trees. At the time in May when
the young lice are on the move, they may be
destroyed by syringing or scrubbing the trees
with a-solution of whale oil soap. —Canada

James D. was a patient in a
private madhouse. Mrs. Bigelow, wife of the '
physician in charge, took a deep interest in
his case. She believed that insanity could 1
best be cured by moral suasion and generally
mild treatment, and she chose Rhymus as a
subject on whom to test her system. He
steadily improved, until at last sanity was
re-established. In the mean time Mrs. Bigelow
had become a widow. She soon afterward
married Rhymus, and he became a physician.
That was twenty years ago. Dr. Rhymus
made insanity a specialty in his practico, and
had, charge successively of many asylums/

which had proved efficacious in his own case,

View Hotel, near Denver, turhing it into an’
asylum. In order to train his keopersby 1
degrees he at first admitted only three pa-'
tients, and these were supposed to be only
slightly deranged. But he was mistaken in
one of these, and one morning found himself
attacked by a furious madman, who ch'oked
him insensible, and would have killed him if*.
his wife had not lought heroically to free him.
During the commotion caused by the struggle
tho two other pntients escaped, and one of
them drowned herself. This bad beginning
of the enterprise drove Dr: Rhymus insane
again, and while out of his mind he slew Ins’
wife.
