A GLASGOW boy has been summoned as
witness in a case beiore the Municipal
Court. His mother took great pains in in
ST ucting him as to his behavior, and was
particularly solictous as to his doing at
once wi hout moments hesitation, what
ever he might be asked to. The hour Of
trial arrived, and Jock, in his "Sunday
claes," set out for court in high spirits.
He'd not been gone long when he returned,
sobbing bitterly. The following colloquy
ensued: WHATS wrang VII We, ladder"
"Nae muckle." GAY, but what's wrang
VII YET" "Nae muckle, tell ye." At
length his mother succeeded in eliciting the
truth: "Weell, they TUX me into a big

Al YER Intellectual Dog.

A lady owns very intellectual dog,
NJ which she desired much to have q
picture. She accordingly took him to a
photograph gallery and with the assist
ence of the artist endeavored to make
er pet take and keep a suitable position
before the camera. But the spoiled dog
yas in an accommodating mood that
morning. and after repeated trials the
attempt to conquer him was given up
in dispair. $50 home" the lady said
at last, pointing to the door, "you are
a bad, naughty, naughty dog The
culprit changed instantly his saucy
manner. and dropping his tail between
his legs, skunk away in confusion. All
the rest of the day he seemed to realize
that he was in disgrace, crouching in
corners and wearing a shame-faced air.
The next morning he was missing, and
all search failed to discover him. About
noon he reappeared, much elated, and
having fastened to his neck an excellent
'tin-type of himself Inquiry disclosed
that when the photographer went down
in the morning the dog was there at the
door of the gallery awaiting admission.
As soon as the door was opened Carlo
ran ioyously upstairs and leaped into
the chair on which his mistress had
posed him the day previous. Selling
the situation the artist made his prepa-
rations with all possible speed, and the
result was the delightful picture which
the four-footed penitent had taken home
as a peace-offering to his mistress.-N

OLD CUSTOMS.

Old customsi Well, our children say

But you and |. dear, in our cay
Had other thoughts about them.
The dear old habits of the past
can not choose but love them.
And sigh to think the world ut last
Has scared so far above them.
We bad not, in the years gone by,
The grace that ART discovers;
Our lives were calmer; you AMI
We're very simple lovers.
And when, our daily duties DER,
We strayed beside the PUSHES,
The only gems you ever wore
Were bright and blooming bushes.
Our rustic way was slow. but yet
Some good there was about II,
And many ills we now regret
Old habits would have routed.
know our children still can see
The Fifth Commandments beauty
Nav they obey, as once did we,
From love and not from duty.
The world to-day is far too high
In wisdom 10 confess them,
But well we know. dear. you and ],
For what we have to bless them.
Though love was in the heart OF each,
! trcmblcd to aecOst you;
Had you required a polished speech,

No doubt our minds are slow TO gauge
The ways we are not needing:
But here upon our memory's page

We're wise as well as pleasant
The good old customs of the past
Have leavened all the present!

Things in Old Mexico that Seem
Strange and Odd.

A friend of mine was in Chihuahua,
Mexico, on prospecting tour, and
learning that kerosene oil was Sl.25
gallon he thought to speculate when he
came again, so he bought barrel of
fine oil in Boston for $50 and freight
ed it to Mexico, chuckling over the rich
profit he was to reap. but when he
reached Paso del Norte and paid the
Federal tax, the State tax, the City of
chihuahua tax, the consumers tax, etc,
they footed up $3.50, or nearly five
hundred per cent, and by that time his
rejoicing was turned into mourning.
If man buys piece of meat in Chi
huahua they hand it to him in the raw,
just as they cut it; for the meat is all
cut up in advance and the purchaser
selects what he wishes. When it is
handed to him he is expected to have y
bit of wire foot long, bent at the low
est end, upon which to hang the meat

to receive such trifling donation of
tlacas, cent-and-a-half bits, as you choose
to give.
The fountain presents the most faS-
cinating study connected with the plaza
at Chihuahua. In the center of this
scene of beauty is fountain twenty
feet in diameter, streaming the clearest
mountain nectar, brought many miles
by an aQueduct rivaling those OF italy.

literally true that all the water of this
city of eighteen thousand inhabitants,
for every purpose but irrigation, is taken
from this fountain, and the study of the
parties coming hither is one for an art
| list.
There is hardly any time of day
when we may not see squad of
prisoners marching from the Jail in
Chihuahua, four blocks away, with as
many soldiers to guard them, carrying
barrels or ollas. These criminals do
all the street sprinkling. spending quite
q portion OF each day in this labor.
