"It comes from experience combined with abnormal development of the sense of hearing which ail first rate court ami parliamentary stet: >gr:’.;-!:■ :s p issess. The sti;c'grapber's ears !e,.>me as sensitive to the slightest inflexions and in tonati ns of the human voice as a phonograph roller. There’s a certain tremulous quaver in the tone of a man or woman who’s lying court that the stei! grapher catches w!.en the shrewdest judges, lawyers or jurors quite fail to catch it. “When he’s gat his head bent over bis notebook he feels the jarring false note in the voice of the liar every time, no matter how plausible and convincing the testimony in itself may sound. So frequently have I tested this idea in the past fifteen years or so that 1 have come to accept it as certain when that almost indistinguishable false tremolo is absent from the tone of a witness' voice that the witness is telling the truth. "A few years ago I re[>orted the trial of a young chap who was accused of having sand clubbed a jeweler in his store and of looting the establishment. The young fellow was good looking, intelligent, with a face as frank as an eight day clock and an easy, candid, winning manner. "I looked the young chap over before the trial began, and I decided that the ae. usation against him was outrageous When the witnesses testified that they’d seen him coming out of th< store I strained my ears to catch the false intonation i» their tones, but I’ wasn’t there. "When the defense opened the young man was permitted to go on the stand in his own behalf. I was astonished t find that his voice ha 1 the lying quave in it right from the beginning of his statement. "His wo.ds vastly impressed th* jury and as Vastly chagrined the pros ecution. He undertook to prove an alibi for himself. “In corroboration of this a marrie: sister testified that her brother ba i been at her apartment from 3 o’clock in the afternoon until 10 o'clock a night, tak ng dinner with her and keeping her company in the absence of b. husband. Well, she was lying to She had that telltale false ring in hevoice that convin -ed me of it despifi her fine, frank face and her obvious r-spe-tability. "The court adjou-ned for luncheon a’ the end of her testimony. I tool luncheon with the attorney for th’ prosecution. “•Well, what do you think of th' case?’ he asked me when we sat down ‘I guess we don’t land him. eh?" “’He's gu: ty.’ I re- briefly.

If an infant is weak and does no grow satisfactorily, it must be measured for the "undergrowth." acr-ording to a superstition in some Pennsylvania Dutch communities. A i«owwow doctor, usually a woman, will strip th child, measure it with a string th same color as its hair, say -som« "words." bury the string in a set-re place and repeat the performance tbre times. The child will get well. # Ther are doyens of children in one Pennsyl vania Dutch community that wer measured In this way and are no pointed to as exampies and proof o the efficacy of the method. Ashes must not be taken from a fire place in a sickroom. The death of the patient would follow. Nor must th< bed of a sick person be turned over It is actually true that this last pro vision is believed and f ■ lowed in man® Pennsylvania Dutch homes in the olsettlements of the state.

The Last American Klnr Maximilian and his followers were shut up in Querataro. Many powerful I influences were at work to save him. Seward also did his best. Rut he made littie or no effort to escape, if he bad failed as an emperor he.could at least face disaster with the courage and the dignity of a right princely nature. Betrayed by the infamous I.'pez. tried ] before a court martial of boys and orI dered to be shot, he spent his last days I in the di-< 1 arge of ail the obligations .of t’rieu Iship and courtesy. A false I report of the death of Carlotta being I brought to him in prison he said simI ply. "One less tie to bind me to the world!" Led forth to his execution and told to stand between two of ! :s generals who were likewise condemned, he surrendered the place of honor to General Miramou in recognition of bis courage. The rattle of the n - kets marked perhaps the end of all monarchy in the new world. But the bitterest critic of democracy could scarcely desire a gentlej figure than Maximilian’s to stand before the eyes of Americans as the last representative of aristocracy and of kingship on this continent—William Garrutt in Atlantic. <Jn>t Meanderlig, A city g.rl writes.

CALIFORNIA Do you want to live where the climate is mild the year round—where labor is never oppressed by stress of weather, and where animal vitality is never lost by mere conflict with cold? Do you want to live in a region where the resources are more varied than in any other equal area in the world, where the division of great ranches affords a fine opportunity to get a small farm that will assure you a competence? Do you want to live where, with a minimum of labor, you can grow profitable crops of grapes and small fruit, oranges, lemons, olives, prunes and almonds, alfalfa and grain, where crops are sure, business is good and capital easily finds profitable investment ? Then go to California, where both health and opportunity await your coming. The Chicago, Union Pacific and North-Western Line is the most direct route to the Pacific Coast, and there are two fast through trains daily via this line, over the famous doubletrack railway between Chicago and the Missouri River. Special low round-trip rates are in effect via this line throughout the summer to various Pacific Coast points, and colonist low rate one-way tickets will be on sale during September and October, which give an unusual chance for settlers to make the trip at a minimum of expense.

On one occasion the dramatist showed his displeasure of a fellow member of the bouse of commons who kept crying out "Hear, bear every few minutes.

The drivers of fashionable carriages appear at first to be abnormally stout. As a matter of fact this appearance. according to Burton Holmes who made some investigations recently. is due to the skillful padding of the coachman's livery. The padding is done with cotton, and some remarkable results are obtained.
