THE DIVOEUE STOCKING.

Filled With Good Oheer—Several Made Happy, That there was method in the madnass of Judge Har*ey when he put down the day after Christmas as divorce day goes without saying. The Judge takes especial delight in making others happy and the manner in which ho dropped the frisky little divorce document in the suspended hosiery around tho judicial fire place would turn old Santa Claus green with envy. The first candy striped stocking he struck was labeled Jessie Lucas, and the little parchment dropped blithely into the cavity from the fingers of the Judge. Jessie complained that- Hamilton was not tho kind of a husband a woman would want. He was passionately jealous and abusive. Finally he left her, and after wandering over tho Stato for some time was finally picked up near Richmond and taken to tho insane asylum, where he now resides.

Alice ShottB next throw herself at the foot of the throno of justice and begged that the obnoxious ties which bound her to her husband, Wesley Shotts, be severed. Alice alleged that Wesley had troated her cruelly and was guilty of other misdemeanors unbecoming a husband. But Wesley was not to be caught napping. He had filed across complaint alleging that Alice had been untrue to her marriage vews that for souio time past she had carried on a desperate flirtation with one Willie Pyle, whe is said to be quite a "killer" atii'Mig the women in Sugar Cr -ok. He further alleged that Bill and Alico would take pleasant moonlight rul«s together, that during the husband's absence from homo Bill would come to his house where the two would sit in a lovin» embrace and pass the evening cooing like a couple of sick doves. Seeing the turn ,,f affairs Mrs. Shotts withdrew her complaint and when Wesley awoke ho found tho cutest little decree of divorco snugly neatled away in tho toe of hiB No. 12 sock. I Mike Lowrie next handed up his unwashed pedal covering.^ Mike complained that his wife, Nettie, was entirely too fond of other men's company and particularly encouraged the attentions to a certain colored individual. That sho refused to coolc food for him and keep his house in decont order. Of course Miko was a kind and loviBg husband and his faco lighted up when he

heard the judicial buzz Baw snap the legal bonds. With tears in her eye» Mrs. McDaniel related a horrible story of how her husband, Henry, had mistreated her by firing chunks of coal and stove wood at her head, how he would come home drunk and amuse himself by breaking up the furniture and beating her. The judg# was very kind to her, for he granted the coveted divorco and throw in $150 alimony, payable on the installment plan, $5 per week. The suit of Eli^a Marsh against Elmer Marsh was noxt called but as the angel of peace now hovers over that home the case vva.fi diemiesed,

Mrs. Ellen Holloway then bobbed up serenely and laid bare a tale of woe in regaid to the general cussedness of her husband, Babe, that caused the court cat to hide its head in Bhame. When Judge Harney pronouueed the words that thrust her once more in the matri monial market, Helen's face beamed a smile that could be heard for a square.

A l-ifle Gorn Exhibit'

The prize corn show held in the office of Morgan & Lee last Saturday to select a bushel of corn to send as an exhibit to the World's Fair, brought out as fine an article of that cereal as was ever raised.

Brigandage in Jail.

To read of brigandage in Italy makes one doubt if this can be the Nineteenth century. Here is a country, one of the oldest seats of European civilization, where the first requisite of stable government, security of lifo and property, is wanting. The country groans under the financial burden of an army and navy big enough for a vast empire, and yet the troops appear to be so busy look ing for an invader on the northern frontier that they cannot suppress the rob

INSTINCT IN ANIMALS.

(be Influence Which Urges Bird* to Change Their Home with the Season*.

To the older philosophers instinct was afar wore wonderful thing than it appears uow. They asserted that all the actions of the lower animals were performed through instinct, and explained that they possessed this faculty in \ieu of intelligence, which was the peouliar attribute of man. This was,, however, soon exploded by the demonstration of the possession of Intelligence among animals and of inBtinct by man. Indeed the later philosophers h-ve come to believe that almost all the actions of pi an are influenced if pot controlled by instinct alone,

The tendftBCy to migration of certain species of animalB is plainly referable to this hereditary influence. Originally, no 4oqbt, migration occurred because food was more easily found in one locality than in another. The hereditary memory, so to speak, pointed out the plaoe where more food was to be obtained with less exertion. Gradually other surroundings suggested themselves as agreeable to the embryo mind, and and these, repeated through many generations, created that unthinking tendency toward a particular place or climate regardless of its original fitness.

Almost all onr ideas are gained from association, and it is fair to imagine that the constant and repeated association of a particular locality, with a pleasurable sensation—the satiation of hunger, for example—would soon identify the sensation with the place. Then would be evolved the sentiment of home, a sentiment which we feel only more keenly than the lower animals because it is associated not only with the place where there is something to eat, but because of other pleasurable sensations associated with it, as they are as constantly found in the same locality.

It iB a mistake to regard the migratory instincts of animals as unerring. Every woodsman has observed liow a particular species of bird will apparently desert a certain locality for another for one or more seasons. Occasionally this may resnlt from choice, but it seems altogether more probable that it is from some mistake on the part of the birds themselves. Their generally accurate course has been deflected by some circumstance, and they have made their homes elsewhere. In the case of stragglers this is particularly marked. They rarely succeed in rejoining the main body to which they originally belonged, and are forced to be content with whatever suitable place may be found.

Migratory animals and birds are almost always gregarious—that is, they live and especially they travel in compact flocks or herds. They do this for one reason only—that the wisdom of a number is greater than that of any one. Any error in the route would be detected by one or another and thenco communicated to the whole flock. Once in a while they are all mistaken, and then some incoming steamer serves as a point of rest for the tired little wings, or some hitherto unknown country becomes the new home of the home seekers.

But there is much that is very wonderful and awe inspiring in the instinct that guides them. If indeed it is merely the reflex of the memory of long departed ancestors—if the thoughts as well as the sins of the father descend to remote generations, what tendencies and inclinations are we transmitting to our children which may in later genera-

Tidal Waves of Humanity.

The increase or decrease of population by natur/il or artificial causes and the distribution of mankind over different parts of the globe are the dominant factors of the history and condition of the human race. The rise and fall of nations and of empires, the progress or decline of civilization and the domination of man over the uncultivated parts of tho earth are all due to the waves of population which are driven by various causes to new scenes of existence and new seats of power.

These tidal moven^ents of humanity have occurred over and over again at many periods of the world's history, but with great irregularity. There have been times when the increase of population has been slow and its habits sedentary. There have been times when the whole human race seems to have been in motion, driven by some mysterious impulse to seek new lands to cultivate and new homes.—Edinburgh Review.

Another Function of I'lslies* Kars.

Sharks have lately been affording contributions to science. The biologists liavo been vivisecting them for the purpose of finding out about the functions of the ear, which in fishes is made to some extent on the Bame pattern as in man. The fact has been known for some time that the ear is not merely an organ of hearing. It has to do with the sense of equilibrium. Light has been thrown on this matter by removing portions of the auditory apparatus of sharks, which are thus rendered unable to maintain their balance in the water. The part on which this faculty seemB to depend is the "labyrinth," and the same effort is produced by cutting the nerves conununicating with it.—Washington Cor. Boaton Transcript.

Haunted bj an Advertisements

Bbve you ever been haunted by an at* r»ttti8ement? I have asked lots of people that qufl&tion and they nearly all tell me that? they have undergone such an experience at one time or another.

The particular "ad" that haunts me iar one containing the picture of a man's? face. A very insipid face it is, too, with, an absolutely perfect black mustache attached to it. Ithasa grewsoxne effect,. too, as there is no neck visibly attached to tho head, and I have often wondered it would be possible tOCtat a man's head off so that none of tho neck would be left on.

This face persists in getting in front** er me and staring at me with thoae meek eyes. No matter which end of an elevated car I go In just aa soon a§ I amf comfortably seated in a seat I can feftthat face looking at me and agft enough there }t always is—above tb5, windows directly across the car. If, open the advertising pagea of a magi* zine that face will be the first thing to meet my eye. On the street I am always seeing it on the billboards or some advertising dodger.

You may say that this is all very easily explained by the fact of the advertisement being a very common one that everybody would be running against. On the contrary it is rather of an uncommon one, but wherever it is I am sure to find it. I don't know what the article is the face advertises, and I don't want to. I only want to be freed from the nightmare of that mask.—New York Herald.

Placer's Big Cherry Trees.

In some remote age the deep, whirling waters of the American river at Monto Rio washed out the jock layers of long previous geological formation to tho depth of probably 200 feet or mores, and this excavation being filled to half its depth by alluvial material from the Bides of adjacent hills, formed a deposit over sixty feet deep and soma ten or twelve acres in present area.

The waters of the American now form only a small stream, the alluvial deposit that has made the giant cherry trco growth being ten or a dozen feef? higher than the usual current of the deep river channel. The soil of Hector's cherry orchard has been bored to over sixty feet in depth without touching bed rock or rock of any kind, the alluvial quality continuing to this great depth. On about four acres of this soil black Tartarian cherry trees were 6et in 18C2 or 1803 by aucestral relatives of the present owner, several smaller orchards or additions having been planted since.

There are 1C0 large trees that yield 40 boxes, or 400 pounds each, in alternate years. The trees are kept trimmed of all dead wood and lime washed every season, and are still making vigorous and healthy growth. The tallest tree is 68 feet high, with ahead from 60 to 65 feet in width, and over a score more of the 150 large trees are from 40 to 50 feet tall, with corresponding width of top growth so that the excess in height of the tallest tree is not very conspicuous.—Country Gentleman.

The Story of a Suicide.

I remember being called a year or two ago, in my capacitj' as police reporter, to a tenement on the west Bide—I think it was in West thirty-seventh ctreet— where a painter had that day cut hi* throat. Standing there by the corpse I learned from the sobbing widow thatj tho man was desperate for want of work. Ho had been nn the streets for weeks,^ and his children wore starving. It happened that I had been for just tho samolength of time looking for a man to paintmy house out iu the couutry, where painters were scarce and very busy. I had just made up my mind to advertise that day. There lay this painter dead because he could find no ono to giye him work, while I would have been glad to pay him more than the wages of his trade to get him to "work for me.

Had there been any means of bringing us together to which we would both naturally have resorted, he would bavo been alive and his family self supporting. Now it seemed certain to become a burden upon the public.

It was not the only instance of that sort by very many I had come across.— Jacob A. Riis iu Forum.

"Women Offlco Seekers.

The women who apply for places are very hard to get rid of. When informed that there is no vacancy they usualljr say, "The secretary can always mate) one more place." Many of them inakje most humble and pathetic appeals, saying, "For pity's sake, let me scrub tho floors or do anything by which I mayearn my bread." Yet these same individuals, after securing situations and occupying them for two or three days,v. are pretty sure to demand three things** —promotion, leave-of absence and lighter work. Women can never be convinced that there is any sincer ty in tho. civil service law. They almost always^ think that they can get around it and secure places in the classified serviced through influence. Washington Cor* New York Sun. •,
