ANEcDorE OF JUDGE PARSONS. The bar of
Essex county, Ms. had made it rule In at no
lawyer should take into his Office more than three
students But it so happened that the celebrity
OF Parsons, then practising lawyer in Essex,
had gained him more than his due share. and he
was accused, before the bar, OF having FIVE stu
dents. He denied the charge but it being
clearly proved that there were in his office five
young gentlemen aiming at the law, it was a
matter of curious speculation among his legal
brethren how he would get himself clear OF the
accusation. "Why gentlemen" said he, 81 have
positively but three students, and believe can
prove it to your entire satisfaction 1t is true,
have five young me in my office-but then one
OF them IS dandy, and the other a fddler!''

The TRUE LIFE. The mere lapse of years
is not life. To eat, and drink, and sleep; to be
exposed to darkness and to light; to pace around
the mill OF habit and turn the wheel OF wealth
TO make reason our book keeper, and turn thought
into implements of trade-this is not life. In all
this, but poor fraction of the consciousness of
humanity is awakened, and the sanctties still
siumber which make it most worth while TO be.
knowledge, TRUTH love, beauty goodness, faith,
alone can give vitality the mechanism of exist
ence. The laugh of mirth, which vibraIes thro'
the heart; the tears which treshen the dry
wastes within; the music that brings childhood
back; the prayer, that calls us near; the doubt,
which makes us mediate the death which star
ties us with mystery; the hardship, that forces
these are the true nourshments of our natural
being.

20 THE PUBLIC,

ton Such having been the decision OF the Committee
OF its members well the public surprised
in reading the Charman's Report, find that artist,
whose specimens they considered second BEST received
an award for pictures OF the first class But the following
may perhaps, throw light the subject: in

Walker Adams types the BEST; that the Report was
made out, but that the ASSOCIATION suggested that
there had been old quarrel between Adams and rival

The Dog and the QUEER.

Even when young the otter is a most
powerful and severe bitter, closing its Jaws
with the strength Of vice on whatever it
SEXES. Every courageous dog who has
once batted with an otter, retains ever al
forwards the most eager and violent ami
mostly against the animal. The scent oil an
otter renders my otherwise most tractable
retriever quite uncomfortable. The remem-
brance Of former bites and wounds seems
10 drive him almost frantic, and no sooner
does he come across the fresh track OF one
than he Immediately throws aside all con-
troll, and is off rentre terre in pursuit. 1t
is not often that an otter commits himself so
far ms to lie found during the daytime in any
situation where he can be approached; but
one day in this month was out for quleI
walk with my retriever, looking at wide
drains and small pools for wild ducks, when
suddenly the dog went off, nose to the
ground, in so eager a manner that knew
nothing but fox or an otter could have
been the cause Of his excitement; and
soon found in a nearly dry open drain the
quite recent track Of very large otter.--
For long time he would not show himself
ill suddenly the dog rushed into thick ia
niper bush, and the next moment dog anc
otter were lumbling over each other into {
deep black pool. The otter escaped from
the dog in the water; but the hole being
only about six feet square, though deep,
took my retriever out by main force, anC
waited for the water to become clear again
When it did so, | looked for the otter 70
some time in vain, till at last, having stoOp
ed down close to the pool, was startled By
seeing his face within few inches Of my
own, his body being almost concealed b!
the overhanging bank. tried to make hin
leave has cover, but in vain; so | sent tn
dog in again, who soon found him, and aite
short scuifle. the otter left the pool, ant
went oil along wide but shallow drain
and there the battle began again. The dog
although unable to master the otter, wh,
was one of the largest size, managed u
pre-, ent his escape, and AT last | contrive,
to end the contest by well-applied blow
from piece of railing which had pickle
up.-St. Johns Field Notes for 1916.

Suez is a desert without its only redeem
ing quality Of freedom. A Wondering wall
encircles it, except where open to the sea;
within are several void spaces, differing in
no respect from the expanse without, save
that they are noisOme with an accumulation
Of filth, and save also that they are border
ed BY large dreary heaps Of dingy- colored
houses, which seem about to fall in and
bury their sallow inhabitants. Not green
tree or shrub, or drop Of fresh water, and
all supplies fetched from distance, even
from Cairo. Scattered about are encamp-
ments of pilgrims, mostly Mughreby Arabs,
from Western Africa, whose sullen and
halfmenacing appearance disposes one to
give them a wide berth. This dead and
alive appearance imposes melancholy to
which one is a stranger in the desert, and
made me hurry back TO my tent, after Q
very short walk throug h the bazaar, and to
the muddy beach, along which are scatter
ed some singular vessels, built high at the
stern, like those Of many ages back. The
only interesting view was that OF the dis
tant mountains towards Sinai, into whose
defles | was now eager to penetrate.-
