tleman, in company with lady, was crossing
Cambridge bridge, his attention was attracted
to a person in female attire, who was reelng
against the railing and moaning bitterly. The
gentleman had passed the stranger, when, leav-
ing his companion, he returned at her request,
and addressed the - female, who appeared to
be in deep distress. Receiving no response to
his inquiries concerning the cause of her afic-
ton, he approached and laid his hand on the
shoulder of the individual, which was no sooner
done than the stranger wheeled about and made
apass at the gentleman with a slung shot The
blow fell short OF the mark, just grazing the
head II the astonished philanthropist He de-
mandcd an explanation of the strange conduct,
whereupon the female disclosed a revolver,
which until now had been secreted in a fur

EFFECTS or lLLEGIBLE WRITING.-A curious
case was heard in the city of London Sheriff )
Court on the lith ult., which shows how necessa-
~ 1T Is for professional men to write legibly A
person named English applied, in October, 1856,
to be admitted member of a certain benefit
society, entitled " The Confident Fire and Life
Assurance Company and Loan Office :" but as
the medical officer, DR.. Jones, pronounced the
applicant unhealthy, his proposal was rejected
week or so afterwards, English made second
application, and was then admitted, although at
this time be was suffering from a serious affec-
ton of the lungs. He afterwards contributed
l1S. cd. 10 the society. then declared upon the
funds, and was allowed to draw about { A. An
inquiry, however, took place, and was discov-
cred that ne had been admitted through a curl
Gus blunder, for which the doctor was response
BILE. The medical certificate described English
as not fit for membership, but the important
little word was written so indistinctly that it
got corrupted into UOW. The managers of the
society grew impatient at the mistake and its
burden, and refused to continue Mr. English
allowance, whereupon he brought an action
against them. The Judge said that DIR. Jones g
writing was 50 indistinct that il would Justify
either reading; but as the plaintiff had signed
a declaration that he had mot suffered any ill
ness for three and half years, verdict for de-
fendant was given, and the Judge naively re-
marked "that if doctors would write legibly a
world of trouble would be saved.

According to NJ CoulOmb. man travelling
on level road may walk 80 miles per day, or

IT, instead of walking on a level road. he
aScends a staircase, the velocity is reduced to
Zo.4 per minute, and he can work eight hours
per day. In this case he has expended only
1901 dynamic units.
"A person carrying a weight of 90 pounds
