OOT. _ - - There Waa No Other Courst. ? The New England boiled dlnner and other dishee like pork and beans, boll ed codfish and pumpkin pie best ap pealed to the appetite of Chief Justice Melvllle W. Fuller. It was said in .Washington that the Fuller Saturday night dlnner was baked beans and nothlng else, and this story Ls told: "One evening thc chief Justice, pos BlbJy forgettlng that lt was Saturday, asked a dlstinguished English jurist home to dlnner with him. When the beans came on the Euglishinan promptly declined them. Mrs. Fuller showed some embarrassment, where upon the Engllshman amlably said: ?Never mind. I'U make it up ln the next course.' 'But, good Lord," ex clalmed the chief justice, 'there lsn't any otber course:' And there wasn't. In addltlon to being a very small cater the chief Justice was a moderato Btnoker of modestly priced cigars. Ho was said to smoke the same kind of cigars, as far as they were obtainable, that he smoked when he was strug gling hard to establish a living law business ln Chicago in the old days. He said he was attached to these cbeap cigars by tles of sentiment and tender recollection and that nothing else would taste so good to him.? Springfleld Republican. "Pins and Needles." After being for n long time ln a con atralned attltude n peculiar numbnesa and pricking are often felt ln the arm, leg or foot. This is caused by some lnterruptlon to the cii-culatlon nnd can nsually be removed by rubbing or ex ercise. The reason of thc sensatlon, which ls decidedly uncomfortable wbilo it lasts, ls that pressure for a certaln length of time deadens the aenslbillty of n nerre. When thia pressure ls suddenly removed, as straightening out the leg after sltting with it doubled underneath the body, senslbillty gradually returns to the nerve. and as each nerve flber com posing the trunk rcgalns its normal condition of senslbillty a pricking sen? satlon is felt, and these successive priekings from the successive awakcn ings of the numerous fibers have not Inaptly been called "pins and needles." Tha Prayer That Hurt. A member of a certain Massachu setts parlsh prominent for his thrlft and personal consequence wns also notorious for his ovcrbearing assump tions and pompous alrs. Under the dlstress and fright of a dangerous 111 -ness he "put up notes" on several suc? cessive Sundays, aud after his recovery, according to usage, he offered n note to be read by the minister expresslvo of his thanks. The minister was some what 'large" ln this part of his pra/ er, recalllng the danger and the pre vious petitlons of the "squlre" and re? turnlng his grateful acknowledgments with the prayer that tho experlence might be blesscd to the splritual wcl fare of the restored man. He closed with these words: "And we pray. O Lord, that thy servant may bo cured of that ungodly 8trut, so otTenslve in the sanctuary." Law and Geography. From tbe half timers' papers wrltten at a recent term examination: "Some of the chief inventlons of the last 150 years are having an act so that no per son under fourteeu years must go Into the public house. Another act was so that no person uuder the age of slx teen years must smoke cigars, plpes and clgarettes, and no person under that age can bo served with auy. My brother Blll is now all right for this invention. He was sixteeu last week." Here ls a geography answer: "The riv? er system of Canada is what you might call very good, but sometlmes they shoot the raplds, and unless you are a red Indian this* is very trouble some at times, especially wben you get sucked under like Captain Webb."? _ancbester Guardlan. The Earliest Cigars. The earliest mention of cigars in English occurs ln a book dated 1735. A traveler ln Spanish Amerlca named Cockburn, whose narrative was pub lished in tbat year, describes how he met three frlars at Nlcaragua, who, he says, "gave us some seegars to smoke; these are Leaves of Tobacco rolled up ln such Manner that they serve both for a Pipe and Tobacco itself; they know no other way here, for there la no such Thing as a Tobacco Pipe throughout New Spain." Sure Sign. "What ls the sign when a man parta his hair in the mlddle?" said the o!4 fellow ln tho front row of the orches tra to a friend loud enough to be beard by tbe young man behlnd them.

Fresh Air in Winter In winter, it is hard to get fresh air in certain rooms. Some rooms in a house are usualiy colder than others, and if you open the windows It Is hard again to heat the room properly. If you keep the windows closed you don't get fresh air; if you keep them open you cannot quickly reheat the room. The >ERFECT10] SaottEuae _ML HtAfM! Absolattty mokelas and odorlets solves the difficulty.

Tho French academy was origlnally a Junctlon of the driiwiDg rooms ofthe Marqulse de Ramboulllet and her daughter, Julio d'Angenues, Duchesse de Montnusier. The salon as a rneot ing plnce for convorsatlon and thepro dnction of beaux cspiitB and wrlters hardly existed before these ladies opened that of the Hotel de Ramboull? let Prior to this soclal event women of tintop quality and rich bourgeolses received their company in their bed rooms. There was nothing answerlng to the FnglLsh parlor or the Italian hall of convorsatlon. The bed, as ln the sleeping room of Louis XlV., was snrrounded by a balustrade, outside of which gentlemen who had dropped in to visit remalned standing. It would have been shockingly unmannerly of them to step over the barrier. The lady of the house, dressed ln her best dishnbllle. aal on tlie cdge of the bed.

The most strlklng iustance of a van lshcd man comlng again to light te take part In legal proceedlngs ls that which oceurred in a case where Dan lel O'Connell was defending a man ln dicted for murder. The case for the prosecution seemed as clear as pos slble, and O'Counell contented himself with fewer questions than were te have been expected of so emlnent a ezaa_?f. When tlie case for tho crown li.id closcd he announced thnt he had but one witness to call, but thnt witness was Iraportant to the case. He was the murdered man, very much alive. There waa no doubtlng the man's Identlty-everybody knew It. The Judge therefore turned to the Jury and directed them to acqult the prl?oner. To his amazement, however, they returned a verdict of guilty. Asked for an explanatlon, the foreman observed that they had no doubt that the prlsoner was innocent of the mur? der.
