which will not soon be forgotten by the
witnesses il. A person dressed as .

does shall have made enough to retire
from business. In the last six months
I've made hundred thousand dollars
ak months more aud l shall have made
enough"
A lady sat behind .he speaker, and
necessarially heard his remark; but
when he was done she tapped him On

at the battle of Fredericsburg; the
other was killed at the battle of Muir.

NUMBER SO.

THE Coon OLD WiSrERs.-In 40i
the Black Sea was entirely frozen over.
In 763 not only the Black Sea, but the
Straits of Dardanelies were frozen over;
the snow in some places rose fifty feet
high. In S22 the great rivers Of Eu-
rope, the Danube, the Elbc, &C., wero
so hard frozen rs In bear heavy wagons
for month In 500 the Adrat;c Was
frozen In 902 everything was frozen,
the crops totally failed, aud famine and
pestilence closed the year. In 1907
most of the travellers in Germany were
frozen to death on the roads. In 1894
the Po was frozen from Cremona To the
sea; the wine sacks were burst, and tho
trees split by the action of the. frost,
with immense noise. In 1887 the Danube
was frozen to tho bottom, and remained
long in that state.
In 1917 the crops wholly failed in
Germany; wheat, which some years be-
fore sold in England at 6s the quarter,
rose to E2. In 1908 the crops failed in
Scotland, and such famine ensued that
the poor We're reduced to feed on grass,
and many perished miserably in the
fields. The successive winters of 1892.
"a were uncommonly severe. In 1868
the wine distributed to the soldiers was
cut with hatchets. In 1853 it was or
ccssivsly cold; most Of the holliss were
killed; coaches drove along the Thames,
the ice of which was eleven inches thick.
In 1909 occurred the cold winter; the
frost penetrated the earth three yards
into the ground. In l7i6 booths were
erected on the Thames. In l744 and
and l745 the strongest ale in England,
exposed TO the air, was covered in less
than fifteen minutes with leo an eighth
of an inch thick. In 1906, and again
in 1912, the winters were remarkably
cold. In 1914 there was fair on the
frozes Thames.

A Positive witucss.

IL il Of Warren. the author Of "ren
Thousand Year." that this sharp prac.
tice IN the examination of man accused
of swearing falsely in will case is re-
lated. 1t shows great dramatic pow er
unconsciously exhibited in his daily
business.
The prisoner being arrangned, and
the formalities gone through with, the
prosecutor placing his thumb over tho
seal, held up the will and demanded of
the prisoner whether he had seen the
testator sign that instrument, to which
he promptly answered, he had.
"Aud did you sign it at his request
as subscribing witness?"
"I did"
~ ss it sssld with red or black wax?'
"With red ~sx."
"Did you see him seal il with red
wsx?n
al did,"
"Where was the testator when he
signed and sealed this ~ill?'
I'm his bed"
"Pray, how long piece of wax did
he use?"
About three or four inches"
"Who gave the testator this piece of
warV
II did,"
"Where did ysu get it?"
"From the drawer in his desk"
"How did he light the piece of wax?'
"With q candle
Where did that piocs of candle come
from?"
II got it out Of asupb0ard in his
room"
Chow long was shat piece Of candle.
"Perhsps four or Eve inches long"
"Wbo lit it?"
"I lit it,"
"What with?"
"With Q match"
''Whsrs did ysu get ths msteh?"
"On the mantel shelf ia his room"
you did?"
I'll did"
Here Warren paused, and fixing his
large blue eye upon the prisoner, he
held the paper above his Lead, his
thumb still resting upon the seal; and
in . solemn, measured tone said:
"Now, sir, upon your solemn oath,
you saw the testator sign that will;-
he signed it in his bed; ut his request
you signed it rs a subscribing witness;
you saw him seal 1t; it was with red
wax that he sealed it; piece Of two,
