There was a loud whacking of the
gavel by Judge Hallett as soon as he
caught the sound of the language which
he despised so heartily.
“Mr. Taylor, Mr. Tailor,” he shout
ed, “as member of the bar of this
court you must be aware that all its

English language, the language of this
oouniry. If I thought that you were

”1 bow to your honor’s ruling, ” con

not see a fallow citizen grantetadacgaly

glowing tribute to the language of Don

he fled from tbu spot and was pot seen

When they next met, the prosecuting
attorney wanted to know why he had
not been on hand to receive congratula

‘‘They set him free without a stain

and it was all due to your Spanish.
Colonel Taylor, “I knew they’d acquit

HOW POMP WAS CONVERTED
Rafay Stmilay at Churek, Where H*
Was th* Only Sinner.
Dr. Payson, the famous and beloved
•freacher of Portland, Me., used to tell
the following pointed story:
I* One very stormy Sunday he went to
I church, more from habit than because
he expected to find anybody there. Just
after he had stepped inside the door an
old negro came in and asked if Dr.
Payson Was to preach there that day,
explaining that lie was a stranger in
town and had been advised to go to his
church.
“Upon that,” said Dr, Payson, “I
mada up my mind to preach my sermon
if nobody elteoane.”
Nobody else did came, so the doctor
preached to the choir and the old negro.
Some months afterward he happened
to meet the negro, and stopping him
asked how he enjoyed the sermon that
stormy Sunday.
“Enjoy dat sermon?” replied the old
man, “I ’oiar, doctor, I nebber heard a
better one. You see, I had a seat pretty
well-up front, an wheneifoer you’d soy

Silk From shell..
That silk may be produced from certain
mussels or shells is a fact long known,
but only recently renewed attention was
called to the matter by the receipt at the
Thai tn Boyal museum of • pair of golden
brown silk gloves made of byssussilk.
This silk Is obtained from the small silky
tufts protruding from the byssus shcjl,
which they use for holding fast to the
ground or rock under water. This, fiber
is silky, and changes In color from green
ish yellow to dark brown. The single
threads are from two to three inches long,
and after being olsaned and dried they are
yniTi, *
Byssus silk woven Into material Is still
a great ourloslty, for the supply of ma
terial Is so scarce that industrial develop
ment of the manufacture is out of the
question. Only in oertain small settle
ments on the coast of Sicily there Is some
effort to work with this material, the
shell used being the so called Pinna. I
Fishermen tear the shells with nets from
the rocks, and, after cutting the tufts, re
turn them to basins of shallow water.
The tuft will grow again within a year.
It takes between 8,000 and 4,000 shells to
obtain a pound of the flber.-Pittsburg
