“ Cave Spring, Oa., May 21, 1894.

11 My baby was a living skeleton. The doctors said he was dyinj? of Marasmus, Indigestion, etc. The various foods I tried seemed to keep him alive, but did not strengthen or fatten him. At thirteen months old he weighed exactly what he did at birth—seven pounds.

One of the most serious defects in our mode of government is the absence of a uniform system of laws. The laws of the United States are, of course, su- ,

holder who had them, and his purpose was to get them without causing a sudden rise in their value. The old fellow named his price, which was entirely satisfactory. The amount was twentyfive thousand dollars for the lot. My friend went to his office, drew a cheek for that sum and handed it over. “Perhaps you know that it is customary iu transactions of this kind to give a certified check.” said the bond-

This was a stunning blow, almost a knockout, for a man with a bank account of never more than eight hundred dollars, but my friend, begging the old fellow’s pardon for the oversight, started to get the proper certification. He went straight to the cashier of his bank and stated the whole ease to him,

with which they deal are strictly limited by the federal constitution, and everything which lies ouside is within the jurisdiction of the several states. Acts permitted by local laws or tolerated by local sentiment may be of such a character as seriously to complicate the relations of the United States with other governments, and yet may he wholly beyond the control of the general government. The attack upon Italians in New Orleans in 1891 and many anti-Chinese riots in western states are instances in point, says the Youth's Companion. Each of the forty-four tlates has its own code of laws, to which at every session of its legislature large additions are made. There are wide differences and conflicts among the laws. Business practices which are permissible in some states are forbidden in others. Offenses which are visited with heavy penalties in one state arc not punished at all iu another state adjoining; and sometimes a house which happens to be crossed by a state line is in request, because certain acts which would be illegal at one end of it are legal at the

other.

Marriage and divorce laws vary widely. Marriage relations forbidden in one state may be entered into under the more lax laws of another, and the parties to them may resume their residence In the state from which they came. A husband may desert his wife, and after living a short time in another state procure a divorce, and sometimes it is possible to conceal knowledge of the proceedings from her until the decree of divorce has been granted. There are no means of reconciling these conflicting and contradictory provisions of law except by agreement among the states. An attempt has been made in this direction through the appointment by the several states of commissioners who meet in annual conference to consider measures for promoting uniform laws. New York took the initiative in 1890, and other states have followed Its example. Probably thirty states will be represented at the conference in Saratoga this month. The conference has no powers beyond discussion and recommendation. It recommends no law until it has been approved with absolute unanimity at two meetings. Business forms were first considered. A uniform law for the acknowledgment and execution of deeds was adopted; then one prescribing the form of a seal; then statutes as to wills and their probate. Legislation as to the weights of the bushel or barrel was next considered. There are now variations which promote confusion ami fraud; for example, a bushel of oats is thirty pounds in New Jersey and thirty-two pounds in New York. The conference has recommended the abolition of days of grace; proposed a code concerning bills, notes and cheeks; and considered other questions of business law. All the states appointing commissioners expressly directed them to deal with marriage and divorce. Touching the first, the conference has recommended that some ceremony, or formality, or written evidence, signed by both parents and attested by 01 e or more witnesses, be required in all marriages; and that stringent provision be made for their immediate record, however solemnized or entered into. Regarding divorce, it was hopeless to seek agreement concerning causes and methods, but the conference recommended that no divorce be granted unless the defendant is domiciled or has been domiciled within the state where the action is in-ought, or has been personally served with process within the state. This would put an end to the stealthy procuring of divorces in other states than that in which the parties

reside.

Few as have been the recommendations of the conference, those that have been adopted by state legislatures have been fewer. The work of securing uniformity in state laws must he slow and difficult, and partial at the best; but as the reasonableness of it comes to be understood, the commissioners will be reinforced by a strong public sentiment.

'It Is an unusual request,” the cashier said, with a smile of half pity for the

ignorance of hLs customer.

“1 know it,” said the broker, “but I cannot lose this chance of making two thousand five hundred dollars. You know I am honest. I have been a depositor here for two or three years, and have never before asked a favor. I will have the cash here within two hours to make good the cheek, or will

deposit the collateral.”

The cashier hesitated. He who hesitates is lost. He looked the broker

straight in the eye and said:

“I will do it. I know you are an

honest man.”

With a certified check for twenty-five thousand dollars, the southerner returned for the bonds, much to the amazement of the old bondholder, who declared that if he had known his ability to produce a certified check for that amount he would not have offered the bonds at all. Ha offered them as a bluff. But the bluff being called *he had to yield. Inside of an hour and a half the bonds were delivered to tho capitalist, and a cheek for twenty-seven thousand five hundred dollars was deposited at the bank. My friend has had many transactions with the old bondholder since then, and he never fails to ask: “Do you want a certified cheek?” to which the reply is; “Never mind about it; I’ll take any sort of check you give me.”

of Paris were quick to see its possibilities, and the fame thereof flew like wildfire through the inflammable painters’ quarters. Monotype parties have been one of the latest fads of these appreciative people. Artists infected with the craze and their curious friends gather in some accessible studio in ardent groups to turn out these pie-| lures. The excitement lies in the fact that no one can foresee quite how they will turn out, the pleasure, not in the novelty, though that, of course, contributes to it, but mostly in the potent truth that in no other way can the same effects of light and shade be obtained. To produce the monotype the artist paints his study upon a zinc plate, which is put through a press. As the name implies, only one impression is produced. Those that are done in one color are the most successful as yet, though some of the two-color attempts are very charming. The subtlety of certain delicate effects, as, for instance, sunlight on water, is rendered by this new phase of art in a truly marvelous manner. Although the cordiality of Paris may not be expected, perhaps, in America for the monotype, there can

MINKS IN AN ODD BATTLE. They Fought Each Other Viciously »n<l Vociferously, In the Water and Out. An unusual battle was witnessed at Greenwood lake one day recently by Mr. Silas Pickering, of Newark, and old Steve Garrison, the veteran guide. Steve was rowing and Si was catching frogs for bass along the oast shore of the lake, says the New York Sun. Suddenly they heard a remarkable squealing, and as they turned a point of rocks they saw on the shore of a little cove two full-grown minks in combat. The usually shy animals were so busy that they paid no attention to the approach of the boat, and Steve rowed up to within fifteen feet of

them.

The minks seemed each to be fighting for a throathold, and the way they sparred and scratched was highly interesting. Finally one caught the other by the back, and they rolled from the rock into the water, where they continued to fight as energetically as on the shore. Soon they emerged, separately, but clinched as soon as they were on the rock, and the fight waged sharper than ever. Both minks squealed almost continuously as they snapped and scratched at each other. Three times they pitched from tho sloping rock into the water and crawled out to renew the fight ashore, but after another such dip only one came up. The other had evidently tired of the fight and sneaked away under water. The victor crept upon the rock and, not seeing his adversary, began to strut and fro as if much pleased with himself. Suddenly he caught sight of Pickering’s striped blazer and fled into the bushes.

the fact that a favorite study, produced in this way, will not be found duplicated in a neighbor’s drawing room; this is now the fear of the careless art patron who seems to have some' ha zy idea of etchings in his mind. The practical wife of an artLst who has lately returned from Paris with the monotype fever raging in his blood complains ruefully: “Why, my husband took the clothes wringer away from the maids for a press to produce those pictures!" She smiled with a woman's superiority as she added: “He said they could have it back again! It would take at least three hours to remove that oily paint with turpentine every time they used it.” With a sigh: “I have bought a new wringer.” So there is a sordid side even to such gems of art as this wife displays, with a pride that must soften, if it doesn't efface, the domestic inconvenience. The aesthetic side is Venetian scenes in brown, an old stone bridge in gray, mountain peaks and a seascape in blue, and a cluster of picturesque willows in green. Who could mind the loss of one wringer after feasting the eyes on such exquisite shading, particularly if it isn't

her wringer?

Ills Little Mistake. A young farmer who had* great conceit, little discretion and scarcely any education presented himself at a Presbyterian conference and said he wished to be ordained as a preacher. "I ain’t had any great learnin’,” he said, frankly, “but I reckon I’m called to preach. I’ve had a vision three nights runnin’; that’s why I’m here.” “What was your vision?” inquired one of the elders. “Well,” said the young man, “I dreamt I see a big, round ring in the sky, and in tho middle of it was two great letters—P. C. I knew that meant Presbyterian conference, and here I am.” There was an uncomfortable pause, which was broken by an elder who knew the young man and was well acquainted with the poverty nf his family and the neglected condition of the farm in which his father had taken such pride. "I haven't any gift at reading visions,” said the old man, gravely, “but I'd like to put it to my young friend whether ho doesn't think it's possible those two letters may have stood for ‘Plant corn?’ ” Fortunately this version was accepted by the applicant.

Hovr Sonth American New*papers Regard

Southern Internal Squabbles.

Down in South America, where revolutions are amusingly frequent, the people not directly concerned seem to regard such upheavals with much calmness. This fact is admirably illustrated by the way in which the Rio and Unenos Ayres papers report them. In those journals, says the New York Times, a “revolution,” unless it possesses features quite out of tho common, gets nothing more than a paragraph. These, when numerous enough, a contingency that often happens, arc put together and arranged according to length in a regular “department,” much os papers in this part of the world publish "fishing notes” and “news about the railroads.” For instance. the Rio News, which collects information of the sort indicated from all the South American countries, regards eleven lines as enough to give “another revolution that came off in Santiago del Estero, Argentina, on the 15th,” and which, "like its predecessor of a few weeks ago, was a brilliant success.” It seems that the revolutionists attacked and captured the police barracks and government house and took the governor prisoner and compelled him to resign. Four men were killed and “several wounded.” A provisional government was organized and "then sat down to wait for advices from Buenos Ayres.” And that particular revolution receives no more attention and is not even dignified by a headline. The next item, as it deals with a revolution that did not succeed, either brilliantly or otherwise, is even shorter, and so it goes down the column. As even one of these events. If it occurred here, would fill a page or two a day In the papers for weeks, the contrast is

both startling and instructive.

A Invaded by iiats. A queer invasion of a house by bats occurred recently in a Maine town. The family had heard queer noises In the walls and occasionally had received a visit from a bat, and so they decided on an investigation. A hole found under the eaves was stopped up, and at once the bats began to appear. Through the ventilators, into the bathroom and into the cellar they swarmed, sixty-five being killed in one night. The next night there was another invasion, until in all two hundred were killed, and then the family rested in

peace.

Overlooked for Once. A very humorous story, and of course it is a true one, is told of a former superintendent of a Maine shoe factory. One of the employes not doing his part as the superintendent desired was discharged. but on tho next day was found in his place at work. “What are you here for? Didn’t I discharge you yesterday?” asked the superintendent. "Y’es, sir; but if you don’t doit again I’ll overlook it this time,” was the response. The superintendent was so dazed by the man’s answer that he turned away, not knowing just what to say. Ttic joke of the matter was that the man stayed at his work for more than a year afterwards and was paid regularly. We don’t give this as a recipe for unsatisfactory workmen.
