Every action in company ought to

Strive not with your superiors in
argument, but always submit your
Judgment TO others with modesty

ports TO the disparagement of any.
Take all admOnitions thankfully,

Think before you speak; pronounce
not imperfectly. nor bring out your
words too hastily. but orderly and dis

Speak not evil of the absent, for II

Make no show of taking great de-
light in your victuals; feed not with
grcediness; cut your bread with knife;
lean not on the table; neither find fault
with what you eat.
BE not angry at table, whatever
happens, and if YOU have reason to be
so, show it not; put on acheerful coun-

Funny incident in Court.

When Judge G. B. Strong. of Georgia.
was a Young man. he was in the habit
of using very strong language while ad-
dressing the jury. His friend, Judge
Early, an elderly man, with kind heart.
saw Judge Strong's weakness. and sd
vised him to restrain himself.
Now" said the good Judge, ''when
you see me lift my finger, you may
know that you are going too far."
The young pleader thanked his friend,
and said that he would bear In mind the
signal of warning. So in court the next
day he watched the Judge.
In the very midst of an eloquent APP
peslh saw the judges finger lifted. and
the act of rsbuke so bewildered him
that be paused, stammered, and finally
took his seat much chagrined.
As soon as the court had adjourned. the
orator went to Judge Early, and said:
why did You lffty your finger st mee"

why the Duke of Ossone Freed an Incorri-
gible Criminal.
The Duke of Ossone is celebrated for
the many quaint judgments and de-
cisions delivered by him while Viceroy
of Naples. Some of them seem actu-
ated rather by spirit of pleasantly
than by one of justice. One day the
Duke had to choose a galley slave who
should be liberated in honor of some
great festival. He went on board one
of the gallcys, and, standing in front
of the first bench of rowers, six in num-
Der. he began TO question them all as
TO what had brought them there. The
first one contented himself by calling
God as a witness to his innocence and
protesting that he was there for no
reason at all. The second said his pun
ishment and disgrace were the work of
his enemies, and not the consequence
of any crime. The third protested that
a crying injustice had been done him
by his being sent there without any
trial. The fourth said that the lord of
his village had become ensmorcd of his
wife and had caused him to be sent
there out of the way. The fifth de-
clared that he came from the hamlet of
Somma, and that he had been impli-
Gated in robbery there in which he
really had had no part at all, and
that all his neighbOrs would bear wit
ness 10 his honesty. The sixth, who
had observed that all these excuses and
justifications did not seem to please the
Duke, took a different tone. Your
Excellency," he said. IL came from
Naples; and though the town is large
one, do not believe that it contains
greater scoandrel than myself They
have been merciful to me in only send
ing me to the galleys." The Viceroy
looked at the man keenly for some
moments. and then, turning to those in
attendance upon him, said: Let this
scoundrel be released from his chains;
he will corrupt all those honest men,"
Then be presented him with some
money to provide himself with cloth
ing. and besought him to try to live a
better life in the future. Chambers

OF the five hundred citizens of Mas
sachusetts who recently petitioned the
Legislature for law to punish those
who cheat on Sunday. or refuse after
ward to pay for articles purchased on
that day, over one-half of them are IN
doubtedly bakers. The members OF
that trade in this city complain most
bitterly of such actions on the part of
number of people. They say that such
customers will rush into the shop in a
hurry. call for warm bread, get ii, and
disappear, promising to drop i'm and
pay for il next day. For some reason
they rarely appear the next day, and
finally, when their bill has been pre-
sented several times, the baker informs
them that if il is not settled within
certain date legal proceedings will be
begun. Then is the time when the Gus
tomersees his opportunity. He laughs,
and informs the baker that il he can
collect debt contracted on Sunday to
90 ahead, which he knows is utterly
impossible under the present laws of
the State. 1t Is not the poorer class of
people who do this, but the persons
who usually have the money ready to

A very realistic representation of NJ.
Sardou's Theodore recently took
place at Valparaiso. The actor who
plays the part of the executioner was
hopelessly in love with the heroine,
and. mad with jealousy, took the OPP
portunity of putting the cord round
the Empress neck to try and strangle
her in right earnest. The unlucky
Theodora's struggles and contortions
were looked upon as fine acting by the
public, who applauded frantically, and
II was only through fellow-actor that
the real state of the case was perceived.
Theodore was then rescued well-nigh
dead. IN. y. Post.
