A POLICE COURT Al GAlRO.

The project and his deputy were
arrayed in black coats and trousers,
white waistcoats and patent boots.
But they sat, as their predecessors
sat n thousand years ago, cross-legged
on the divan. Litigants came up
without formality, kissed their knees
or their hands, according to rank or
favour, bent, with hands folded in
their sleeves, to declare the grievance
volubly, answered brief, harsh
question and took the verdict help
lessly. Cases lasted, on an average,
two minutes each, as near as | could
time it, and all the while men came
and went in the little room, talking
mostly in high, quarrelsome tones.
If any one present was struck with'an
observation, he offered it casually,
and his worship listened. After
delivering judgment, always preceded
by grunt of general dissatisfaction,
he clapped his hand, and and soldier
rushed in at full gullop, holding up
his sord. Forthwith the parties
retired to discuss matters warmly
outside, in full hearing of the court.
A matrimonial difficulty referred to
the authorities lasted but four
minutes by the watch. a thin,
speaking man looked the husband,
while the wife, so far as one could
judge by eyes and nose, was very
pretty. The gentleman told his tale,
the purport of which l could not
gather. The lady turned red to the
tip of her little nose, and her eyes
flashed. She took up her parable
vehemently and sternly. The project
asked further explanations of the
husband, who turned very pale. He
found nothing effective to reply.
His worship pronounced in single
phrase, the galloping soldier APP
peared, and off went the pair. |
asked of an official who spoke English
if the man was going to prison.
''No said he; she goes home" 1t
must be admitted there is something
to be urged for system which can
deal with domestic troubles in this
superior way.

cessive grief, to shed bloody tears,
and to discharge blood instead Of
sweat from his whole body" 1t
was remarked by some who wit
messed it that Nature seemed in this
way to invoke vengeance upon his
cruel murderers.
In work with the title of "Ephe-
merides, T" it is stated that "a young
boy, having taken part in crime
for which two Of his elder brothers
were hanged, was exposed to public
view under the gallows on which
they were executed, and while there
was observed to sweat blood" from
the exposed parts of his body; fur
ther examination showed that it was
the same over his entire body.
Another of the examples given is
that Of "a nun who fell into the
hands of soldiers, and seeing her.
self encompassed with swords and
daggers threatening instant death,
was so terrified and agitated that
she discharged blood from every
part of her body, and died of he
morrhage in the sight of her assail-
ants" And the case Of sailor is
also mentioned who was so fright
ened by a terrific storm that he fell
down, and "his face sweated blood"
which continued as long as the
storm lasted
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1884-07-07
SWEATING DROPS or BLOOD.

Rev. DR.. Thayer, in an article in
the Christian Leader, calls attention
to the fact that the words of Luke
do not necessarily imply that Christ,
in his agony, shed great drops OF
blood, as it has been generally
claimed they do. The record says,
''his sweat was as 1t mere great
drops of blood" the Greek word
rendered 'as it were" expressing
likeness: But even if it had been
as so many careless readers have
believed, says DR.. Thayer, and
Christ had actually fallen into
bloody sweat, it still remains to be seen
that it was supernatural. There are
number of cases on record where
in it is stated that this phenomenon
has been witnessed. OF course the
subject is one that has invited the
attention of all classes of Christian
believers, and provoked the denials
and sneering criticisms of unbe-
levers. Many things have been writ
ten in endeavors to solve the pro-
