One Man Counted as Ten.

Bishop Burnett relates curious cir
cumstance respecting the original pas
sage of that important statute, the
habeas-corpus act. ut was carried, "
he says, "by an odd artifce in the
House of Lords. Lord Grey and Lord
Norris were named to be the tellers.
Lord Norris, being a man subject to
vapors, was not at all times attentive to
what he was doing; so, q very fat Lord
coming in, Lord Grey counted him for
ten, as jest at first, but, seeing Lord
Norris had not observed it, he went on
with this misreckoning of ten; so it was
reported to the House, and declared
that they who were for the bill were the
majority, though it indeed went on the
other side, and by this means the bill
passed.

In region Of such great prosperity
and wealth we scarcely knew what TO
make of cluster of novels by the
roadside within sight of the slender
spires of Stralsund. They were built
like gypsy huts, dug out OF the hillside
and rooted with turf. A half-dozen
ragged children were playing with a
large dog-cart, and the great, ugly
beast accustomed to draw the vehicle
growled from his turf kennel as we
passed. Our driver, whose local pride
was shocked at the sight of this wretch
ed camp. FASTENED to explain that the
people were nothing but Schleswigers,
road-builders by trade, who were en-
gagged to break stones to repair the
chaussee. A little further on we came
upon score of these people at work.
For fully mile ahead of us there was
q pile OF stone-heaps along the road,
and the stone-breakers were energet-
ically hammering their way through
this mass of finty field stones. Shell
tered from the sun by rude awnings of
mating, young girls, bright-eyed and
ruddy-cheeked, pounded away with
heavy hammers on the large fragments
into which the men and women had
split the stones. Children and old
women broke the pieces still smaller
and piled them in regular heaps. There
was something coquettish in the dress
OF the young girls, which was quite out
of harmony with their occupation. A
bright handkerchief wound turban-
like around the head set off the deep
brown of their faces, and gave soft
ness to the weather-roughened skin.
A bodice of strong cloth fitted closely
to the plump figure, and short petit
coat was girded closely to the legs,
showing bronzed feet and ankles, well
modelled and graceful, though neither
small nor soft. Chatting merrily as
they hammered, they were the picture
OF health and contentment. Their
hands, somewhat protected from the
rough stones by flaps of thick leather,
showed to what coarse and rude oc
cupation their lives had been devoted,
for they were as hard and knotted as
those of the men, their fellow-laborers.
Here was life-work for woman! -
welding heavy sledge-hammer all
day long, lifting and handling rough
stones from the time she has eaten her
black bread and raw onions in the
morning until she retires to the straw
heap in the mud hut at night. Why
women should be engaged in such con-
vict labor In q country where prosper
ity is the rule was a problem which we
were unable to solve. We found out,
after O chat with them, that the Schles-
wisers are famous for their skin I'm
bodybuilding, and are sought for the
country over to repair the chaussees.
They said smart stone-breaker could
earn forty marks week about ten
dollars).
eff the men didn't spend all they
earn in q spree every day, we'd be well
off," grumbled an old woman, whose
face was the texture of dried fig, and
her hands all gnarled and calloused
like some strange animals claws. at

at our ease in the winter but for the

Appropriate to the present rage for

posed of very long train, but cut low
at the neck. Lincoln was standing with
his back toward the fire when his wife
entered. "Whewl" said old Abe, what

While malaria belongs.chieAy to low

conditions, exist at great elevations.
On the Tuscan Apennines it is found
LOO feet above the sea-level; on the
Pyrenees and Mexican Cordilleras,
5000 feet; on the Himalayas, 6,400
feet; on the island of Ceylon, $500
feet; and on the Andes, 200 feet.
Under ordinary circumstances, how
ever, cert lin moderate altitude affords
immunity from malaria. The elevation
of entire security is not positively

in California, LOCO feet; in the Appa-
