An Appeal to the Sheriff.?When Senator Joe Blackburn was a struggling young lawyer, as all really great statesmen must have been at some time in their career, he was called upon to defend a negro charged with murder. Mr. Blackburn did the best he could? made an impassioned address to the * J - 11 * Hilt thp jury ana an tuai svu u> n,...0 defendant was sentenced to pay the extreme penalty. Mr. Blackburn was then taking his first dip into politics, running for some small local office. He had a bard time getting people to attend the meeting at which he was advertised to speak and luck generally appeared to be against him. Well, hanging day came and the doomed man was told that he would have fifteen minutes In which to say his last words. Mr. Blackburn accompanied the man to the scaffold, and as his eyes wandered over the several hundred of his fellow citizens who had come to witness the spectacle?more than he could ever hope to attract by his own eloquence?his brain was lit up by a flash of genius. He had a few hurried words with his client. In which he painted the waste of words, it would be for the unfortunate man to talk at such a time and Impressed upon him what a godsend the opportunity to make a speech would be to him. Black burn. The negro somewnat reiucuuuly agreed to let him go ahead. Thereupon, much to the surprise of the auditors, Mr. Blackburn launched Into an effort on the Issues of the hour. He was proceeding to his own entire satisfaction when he felt a tugging at his coat tail. Glancing around, he encountered the pained expression of the negro. "Say, Massa Joe," he whispered, "dat speech wot yuh made tuh de jury was bad nuff to hang me, but dls yuh one" ?shaking his head sadly?"Mistuh She'iff please pull dat rope." Chamberlain's Umbrella Story.? Joseph Chamberlain, in one of his recent tariff reform speeches, told an umbrella story that has not been recorded, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Mr. Chamberlain wished to point out that ignorance was to blame for much of the censure that had been attached to his tariff reform scheme. He said: "Why, my friends, many of my opponents are as ignorant of my proposition as was a certain farmer, many years ago, of the umbrella. , This farmer had made a journey of some twenty miles on foot to a small town. As he was about to set off for home again, a hard rain came up, and his host loaned him an umbrella?a novelty at the time?opening it himself so as to save his friend all possible trouble. "A week later the farmer brought the umbrella back. The weather was bright and fine, but he held the instrument open over his head. " 'This contrivance,' he grumbled, "is more trouble that it's worth. There wasn't a doorway in the village I could get it through, and I had to tether it all the week in a field.'" Judce'8 Question.?Judge Lyman S. Burr of Derby, Conn., who resigned from the bench last month on account of deafness, displayed in his address of resignation a vigor or speecn m<? ima always marked him. says an exchange. Judge Burr, it will be recalled, said that Providence had been unjust in inflicting him with deafness. This utterance surprised the friends of the unfortunate jurist. A lawyer of New Haven told the other day how he once introduced to Judge Burr a novelist who is now famous. The novelist was young and obscure at the time, but what he lacked in years and fame he more than made up for in self-confidence. He believed in himself: he had no doubt of his powers: he delighted in calling attention to the brilliance of his mind. Judge Burr observed the young man closely and sternly. Finally he said: "So you expect to be famous some day. eh?" "Some day," said the young man. "I expect to have the world at my feet." "What have you been doing all this time." said the judge, "walking on your hands?" Retaliation.?An Irishman was called upon to give evidence in a shooting affray, says the Green Bag. "Did you see the shot fired?" asked the magistrate. "No, sor, but I heard it," replied the witness. "That is not satisfactory. Step down." As the Irishman turned to go, he laughed and was rebuked by the magistrate. who told him it was contempt of court. "Did yez see me laugh?" "No. but I heard you." "That is not satisfactory." And then the court laughed.?Columbus Ledger. Populism and Matrimony.?William Jennings Bryan was telling a party of ?_?

Local Rates.?A breezy individual from the Windy City drifted into one of the uptown hotels yesterday and used the public telephone to talk with a friend in Brooklyn. When he was through he offered the young woman at the switchboard 10 cents. "Twenty cents, please," she said. "Twenty cents!" he shouted indignantly; "20 cents! Why in Chicago we can telephone to h? for 10 cents." "Yes," responded the operator sweetly, "but, you know, that is in the city limits."?New York Mail and Express.

A SCHEME THAT FAILED. nsuccessful Attempt to Discover a Competing Manufacturer's Secret. A group of young men, all. active In e world of business, were telling ird luck stories at the Manufacturers' ub one evening recently. An electrl1 engineer, still in his early thirties, hose salary is represented by five ;ures, told the following: "I've been up against it more than ice, but an adventure I had in New >rk in '96, like Aaron's serpent, swalwed all the rest. At the time I was anager and a stockholder to a limfd extent in Baltimore. We were leratlng under a patent, and things sre just beginning to come our way hen we got word from our salesmen at goods similar to ours were being aced on the market at figures which ; could not meet. "I got samples of the goods and the rures from three different sources, d at once called a meeting of the dictors. Our patent was worthless as matter of protection, and our only source was secrecy: and, so far as i were able to do it, our process was pt from prying eyes. But there was me one who was beating us at our :n game. If we could find out how was done, we could do it ourselves: we couldn't it meant ruin. "The next day, disguised as a woritm, I went over to New York, and nd the factory without anv trouble, it try as I would I couldn't get emDyment. The foreman said he hadn't ough work to keep his men going, d would have lo discharge some of em. I was desperate. It was a bitr winter day, and a foot and a half snow lay on the ground. As a last sort, I asked him if he would let me ovel the snow from the sidewalk, d give me a square meal in payent. This appeal reached his heart, id I got the job. It was no Joke, I can II you, for the factory was a big one id the sidewalk long. But I was ad to get the chance for it meant at I was to have a show to get in3e the works, and I only needed a w hours at most to find out how the ick was done. It took me four hours get the sidewalk cleared, and my ck was nearly broken when I went to the office again. The foreman oked up from his desk as I came in id said: " 'Got it done so quick?' " 'Yes,' said I. " 'Let's go out and look at it.' "And we went out. He looked the Jewalk over and said: 'It's a good b.

The German naturalist, Herr Brehm, lis this story of his adventure with iboons in Africa: "Our dogs, beautiful, slender grey>unds, accustomed to fight successfulwith hyenas and other beasts of ey, rushed toward the baboons which, om a distance, looked more like lasts of prey tnan line moniteya, uuu ove them hastily up the precipices to jht and left.

"But one little monkey, about half a >ar old, had been left behind.

THE MOON SUPERSTITION. j Explanations and Correction of Popular Beliefs and Sayings. In his recently published book on the ai: moon. Prof. W. H. Pickering: presents ^ an interesting account of the super- t] stitions in which the moon plays an im- o: portant part. P'robably even in prehistoric times g, men have noticed the face of the "man s, in the moon." Plutarch noticed it and a ? .u. * rr even wrote a wnoie dook on ine iatc. g Bui. besides this, many other objects p are supposed to be visible. The dark a markings on the surface are likened by C the Chinese to a monkey pounding rice, j In India, they are said to resemble a rabbit. To the Persians, they seem like Ii our own oceans and continents reflect- ^ ed as in a mirror. s The size of the moon, as seen by dif- f ferent persons, varies from that of a . cart wheel to a silver dollar. To many it seems about a foot In diameter, from which Prof.' Young concludes that to s the average man the distance of the ? surface of the sky is about 110 feet. It a is certain that artists usually represent the moon much too large in size in their paintings. Occasionally they rep- " resent It in e%'ening scenes with the horns turned downward instead of upward, whereas they must always point away from the sun. The true angular size of the moon is about half a degree, so that it can always be concealed behind a lead pencil held at arm's length. From the earliest times it has been a source of speculation why it is that the sun and moon, when rising or setting, appear to most persons from two to three times the diameter that they have when near the meridian. As a matter of fact, the sun is slightly and mArtn mnoonrohlv omallor \vhPH near the horizon, because they are further off than when overhead. The true explanation, according to Prof. Pickering, is two-fold. Human estimates of angular dimensions are dependent not merely on the various dimensions themselves, but also on extraneous circumstances. The case is analogous to our estimates of weight, which are <ie- , pendent primarily on the real weight of the object, but secondarily upon its bulk. Thus a pound of lead feels much heavier than a pound of feathers. One circumstance affecting our estimates of angular dimensions is the linear dimension of the object itself. Alhazen, who died 900 years ago, showed that if we hold the hand at arm's length and notice what space it apparently covers on a distant wall, and then move the hand well to one side, so that it is in front of some very near object, we shall find that it will appear to us decidedly smaller than the part of the wall which it previously covered. An analogous effect causes the full moon, when rising or setting, to appear larger than when it is well up in the sky. On the horizon, we 1 can compare it with trees and houses and see how large it really is. Over- ^ head we have no scale of comparison. The same optical illusion, however, is noticed at sea, so that we must cast about for some additional explanation. Clauslus, about 300 years ago, show- * ed that our estimates of size depend largely upon the altitude of the object under consideration. When we pass "" under an archway or under the limb of a tree, we know that we are nearer the 1 object than we are when we see it at a g lower altitude. At the same time, it f appears just as large to the average a person angularly as it does when we j are several feet further away. We are s in fact all our lives, as we walk about, used to seeing objects rapidly lifting ? from their angular positions, yet not J appearing as we pass them any larger a than they do when we are slightly more 1 distant from them. Thus we always I unconsciously make some compensa- t tion in our minds for the real changes fc in angular size that actually occur. If now, the limb of the tree that we pass Jj under, instead of really growing an- j gularly smaller at the low altitude man it was when overhead, should remain of the same angular size In all positions, we should say that It looked larger at the low altitude. This is exI actly what happens In the case of the heavenly bodies. Unlike all terrestrial objects, they are practically of the same real angular dimensions when on the horizon as they are in the zenith. Involuntarily we apply to them the same compensation that we are expected to apply to terrestrial objects, and are then naturally surprised to see that they appear larger at the lower altitude. The majority of the superstitions relating to the moon relate to the weather. Besides, we hnve the superstitions that sleeping in the moonlight, espe- 2 cially if the moon be full, induces insanity. Witness our word "lunacy," (j in which the belief is expressed. Far- l mers believe that the moon exercises a certain influence over vegetation, and * that beans should be planted when the ^ moon is light and potatoes when it is dark. Many believe that a change in t the weather will come at about the jr time that there is a change in the moon. Prof. Pickering points out that r since the moon changes every seven and ^ a half days, every change in the weather must come within four days . of a change in the moon, and that changes will necessarily come within two days of a lunar change. This superstition must not be confused with the real, but ill-defined, seven-day period of the weather, which is a genuine phenomenon and holds true to a certain extent. Thus if one Sunday is stormy there is a probability that the several Sundays following may also be stormy. This phenomenon is probably due to terrestrial causes and has nothing whatever to do with the moon. Some people believe that if the horns of the new moon will hold water, it will be a dry month; that if they are so tipped that the water will run out, it will be rainy. Nearly as many people hold the reverse view. Both views are wrong. The line Joining the moon's horns is always perpendicular to the direction of the sun and, therefore, depends merely upon the place of the moon in its orbit. It has been said that thunder storms are influenced by the moon. Nearly 12,000 observations collected by Hazen in the United States in the year 1884, show a preponderance of thirty-threS per cent, in the first half of the lunar month. The greatest number of thunder storms come between the new moon and the first quarter; the least number between the full moon and the last quarter. This is, perhaps the only satisfactory evidence that we have that ~ the weather is at all influenced by the moon. Even in this case the effect is n so slight that it has only a theoretical tl interest.?Scientific American. n ust a Remind*'!*.
