living judges, Baron A.. a contempt
rary tells US, was travelling once with .
friend through the South Of France.
and SO into Italy. He was at the time
Of his journey the possessor Of q brand
new and very splendid thermometer. OF
which he was very proud. A constant
source of complaint on the journey was
that no wstch-pockets were affixed to
foreign beds, and that the chronometer,
placed under the pillow at night, slip
ped, after the custom Of chronometers,
from that position, and, in SO doing,
incurred risk Of breakage. At length,
at q small hotel near Lugano, ut which
q nights rest was to be taken. the Bar
on found. to his delight, the pocket, the
absence Of which had marred the pleas
ure of his journey. So overjoyed was
he that there was some talk Of arrang-
ing the next days journey with = view
to returning to sleep once o
at an inn so far in advance Of Its
rivals in its attention to the comforts OF
guests. In the morning. however, the
Baron came down with q rueful visags
and showed the thermometer. now silent
and ruined. What had been taken for
q watch-pocket at the head Of the bed
was a small vessel full Of holy water.
In that the watch had remained all.
night without experiencing tho benefit
