During the reign of Edward III. 600
Jews were imprisoned in the dungeons

Jews was, they had too much of the

The chronicler goes ON to say that so
strong was the prejudice of the King
against these people that he banished
the race from England but, with the
thrift that distinguished Kings of that
day, he compelled them to leave behind
them their immense wealth, which he
gobbled, and their libraries, which, as
he couldn't read, he had no use for, and
they went to the monasteries. I sup

monks who could read.

IN Great Britain
The crime of LEROY caused the great
est agitation in England concerning the
system of travelling by railway. Mr..
Labouchele took advantage of the ex.
citement to publish remarkable story
illustrating the perils of that system.
1t is drawn from real life, and records
tho adventures of Rev. Jude Gloam, n
shy young clergyman, who had taken a
glass more than usual at supper, and OF
Miss Aviss, an equally shy young lady,
whom he accosted on the train.
1t is the curse of say men that, getting
30 little practice in conversing with
women, they never know where to stop
when, peradventure, they do get q
chance of talking. 1t is by shy mer
that the rudest things are habitually

LOUIS NAP0LE0N's COURAGE.
September, 1901 asked Changar-
nier his opinion 4 tlss ooursgs q Lsc1is
Napeleos. GhsngssssR II go ia
bourg, when the regiment on which he
depended refused its support, he ran
and was found in state Of abject terror
hiding under carriage. In the Bou-
logne attempt, when he got half way
across the Channel he became alarmed,
and wished to turn back. The people
about him called for champagne, and
kept him to his purpose by making him
half drunk. AS he approached, and no
friends appeared, his alarm returned.
The first troops that met him were un-
der the command of q sensibia old
officer, who, when he saw the strange
procession, accompanied by the tame
eagle, and was told that Louis Napoleon
was il its head, instead of joining him,
summoned him to surrender. Vaudreuil
had said that at Shasbourg Louis Ma
poleon had not dared even to fire q
pistol in his own defense. he recollected
this mot, kept pistol in his hand, and
fred at the officer, but his hand shook
SO that though the man was not five
PAGES of he missed him and wcanded a
poor cook, who, in his white apron, was
standing at door to see what was going
on. Louis Napoleon turned, ran into
the sea, and got into boat. A boat
from the shore pulled after him. He
gave himself up, begged them not to
hurt him, and said that he had 200, 900
francs in his pocket which he would give
them. He was landed, and begged M.
Adam, the Marie, to take the 200, 600
frarcs. Adam said he would take care
of them, but, with business-like habits,
chose to count them first. 1t was lucky
for him, for, when it was counted in the
presence OF the crowd, there were found
10 be only 10000. This sum when he
was ON trial before his peers he claimed.

A RACE FOR 4 WIFE.

No crime in Lapland, saving that oI
| murder, is punished more severely or
summarlly than is the marrying of a
young woman against the express wishes
OF her parents. Those worse crimes are
wholly unknown in that chilly, somber
cline. The blood of the people never
boi!s, save with that anger or indigna-
ton which is inseparable from sense,
and warmth of spirit is a thing called
Into being by the will, rather than an
involuntary passion making the whole
body captive.
A Lapland courtship is rather pleas
ant conception, and one under which
the rights of all are preserved. young
lady Is not forced to look suitor In the
eye and tell him she does not love him !;
nor shall she be forced to give her rea-
sons for refusing. Nothing of the kind.
The parents of the damsel, when her
hand has been asked in marriage by one
whom they are willing to accept, say to
one another, "Now, see. Ii our daugh-
ter will have this man, We will accept
him for a son. Let the case be dec,4ed,
even rs it was decided when Lulea of
the Glen turned in her fight and bowed
the head to Lapp-Alten 1t shall be
DONE"
Accordingly, information is given TO
. damsel Nat suitor has applied for
her hand. Perhaps she krg~~7y tha-
young plsn. while IT spay be th',rshe
has never seen him. However, on g
day appointed, the damsel and her par,
ents, with their chief friends. together
with the suitor and his friends, come to-
gether and sit at meat; the suitor and
the object of his desires being placed
opposite to one another, so that they
can converse freely, and each view the
others face.
When the feast is concluded the com.
pany repair to an open space, where the
trace for wife " is to be run. The
distance marked off is generally about
two English furlongs-or quarter of a
mile-and the girl is let out in advance
of the starting point about the third of
the whole distance, so that if she be at
all fleet of foot, and so desires, she can
easily avoid the suitor for, if he do
| not overtake her before she reaches the
end of the race, she is free, and he may
never trouble her again.
In this way, it may be seen, modest
maiden is spared all perplexity, or pos
sible shame of refusal. If she does not
wish the young man for husband, she
has but to keep her back to him, and
make for the goal, which she is sure to
reach if she wishes; while, on the Other
hand, if the suitor has pleased her, and
she will have him, she has only to lag ii
her fight, and allow him to oyertakt
her, and, if she be particularly struck
if she would signify to the lover that In
love is returned-she can run shor
distance, then stop and turn, and invit
him with open arms.
The Lapps are not amorai people, no
excessively honest, but their marriag
relations are, as a rule, happy an
peaceful.

it behind the barb--thst is to say the
ones used in hunting--so that the blood
can flow; otherwise the wood would
spoil and swell. The fighting arrows are
nasty things. The barb is 80 put on the

The girl was now fairly frightened,
and moved from her seat to the further

of drunken ruffians insulting ladies IN
railway carriages, and she set down her
revered companion as being drunk, and
possibly rulfian. No doubt his cleri-
cal garb was only disguise.
"Wnat are you running away for?"
asked Mr.. Gloam, and he rose to follow
her with an unsteady gait, caused not

we're dangerously inebriated.
