Dunning was examining a witness, whom
he asked if he did not live at the very verge
of the court, and received reply in the af-
irmative. "And. pray, why have you select
ed such spot for your residencew asked the
counsel. SIN the vain hope of escaping tho
rascally impertnence of 'dunning,'" was the
unexpected answer. On another occasion
the same counsel met with a singing retort
Having dealings with gentleman whose
nose was somewhat of peculiar shape, he
said to him: "Now, Mr.. Coppernose, you
have been sworn, what do you says" "Why,
upon my oath," replied the witness, 81 would
not exchange my copper nose for your brazen
face" We are not informed what influence,
if any, this evidence had upon the judge. He
would probably be satisfied as to the veracity
of the woman in the following case, assuming
that the cross-examinaton be correctly re-
ported. 'Was he a tall man!" he asked.
''Not very tall, your honor; much about the
size of your worship's honor" replied the
witness. "Was he good lookings" "Quite
contrary; much like your honor, but with a
handsomer nose" did he squints" ga
little, your worship; but not so much as
your honor by good deal" This, we pre-
sumo, is one of those cases in which compar-
sons would prove odious.-All the Year

The Home of Jean Ineelow.

But few moments ride from London is
the Kensington home of Jean Ingelow, whose
poetry is so familiar to American readers.
The house is an old one of cream colored
stone, and one scarcely knows whether it has
two or three stories Liberal grounds sur
round the house, and even in winter show a
gardeners care. In summer the entire lawn
is bordered and dotted with flowers. for the
poet is a pronounced horticulturist. During
the cold weather spacious conservatory at
tached to the house shelters the flowers, and
in this hot house of palms and buds she is
often found by her friends reading or writing.
Flowers bloom, too, in almost every room
in the house, on the center tables, mantels
and in the bay windows. Jean Ingelow's
home is that of poet, with books on every
hand and always in reach, wherever you may
chance to sit down. The poet is now in mid
die life, but her face shows not the slightest
trace of years. Her manner is most friendly,
her conversation charming and she has q
most musical voice. She enjoys a remark
ably correct knowledge of American litera-
ture, the titles of the fastest American books
being spoken by her with wonderful fluency.
Her character is eminently practical without
a touch of sentimentality All her literary
writing is done in the forenoon; her pen is
never put to paper by gaslight. She com
poses slowly, and her verses are often kept
by her for months at time before they are
allowed to go out for publication. She shuns
society and the most severe part of the win.

A Disguised Thief.

Among curious recoveries are many in
stances which are of interest on account oil
the odd circumstances rather than of the
money value of the articles lost and found
A few years ago a parcel of manuscript Of
Poole's great "Index to Periodicals." contain
ing the material for about twenty pages, wa:
stolen from the express on its way to the
printers The state of mind of the editors
can well be imagined, for these twenty pages
represented the three years labor Of some
fifty co-operators, and could not be replaced
without going through, from beginning tc
end, over 1000 volumes! The indexes of some
periodicals might, as far as they were con-
cerned, furnish all imperfect substitute, but
while the editors were considering how they
could best make use of them, the manuscript
was found under a street counter, where it
had been thrown by the disappointed thief,
and a vexatious delay in the publication of a
most Invaluable work was fortunately pre-
vented.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A lady well known in Plainfeld IN. J.)
society, who has great aversion to public
lie of her name, is gifted with an amount of
heroism, plucky and calculating courage quite
beyond that of most men. At two different
times last summer she had occasion to exer-
else this trait of her character. Sho was
visiting in Wheeling, w. Va, when the first
occurred.
A little child, not more than three years
old, was playing in a narrow alleyway, and
was seated upon the stone pavement Turn
ing suddenly from the street came a large,
heavy truck, to which were attached large
Norman horses The driver did not see the
child until too late, when, suddenly pulling
up the horses, he struck the great iron gate
that stood open at the alley entrance. The
gate, torn from its hinges, tottering, fell to-
ward the helpless child, now threatened with
danger.
This little Planfeld woman was passing
at the time. In horror she saw the child
danger from the now plunging horses and
falling gate Quicker than it takes to read
it she sprang from the sidewalk to where the
child, affrighted, sat, and, grasplng 1t,
dragged it away just as The sharp iron pick
cts caught her own skirt, tearing it, but
not iniuring her, And she did not faint or
trembe,. either, but simply pinned up her
skirt and FASTENED home, more concerned at
her disheveled appearance than at anything
| else.
| A little later in the season, while on a
short visit to New Jersey seaside resort, a
cry of fire was raised in the hotel where she
was staying. 1t was in the afternoon, and
this little Plainfield lady was taking nap.
| The fire alarm awakened her, and going to
the hall she found it filled with smoke. She
heard the wailing cry of child's voice COM
ing from a room near by. With not a
thought of danger she CROPPED her way along
the floor where the smoke was least suffocat-
ing, and made her way into the room whence
came the child's voice. 1t was here that the
| fire was, and the little one had fallen upon
the floor in its efforts to grope out of reach
of harm. Half snothered she rescued the
child. The, fire was soon put out, but the
little lady took chances just the same Us
though the danger had been more pressing
