which frequent the Swiss lakes.
\ gentleman was in the habit of feeding
the birds with the refuse of meat, of which
they are very fond, and one day, as they
clustered eagerly about his head, his hat was
accidentally knocked off, and fell into the
river.
The lockers on laughed at the mishap, and
boat was about putting out into the stream
to secure the lost article, when, to the sur
prise of every one, a gull was observed to
dart down upon the floating hat.
After several Intellectual attempts, it sue

the well soaked hat at its owners feet, amid
the enthusiastic applause of the bystanders.

Commodore VanderbiIt's Remedy.

At one time, while living on Staten Island,
Commodore Vanderbilt had an exasperat-
ingly balky horse. He never could be sure
that the brute wouldn't stop in the middle of
the road, and he often walked in preference
to taking chances with the animal One day
he started out and had driven only about
half q mile when the beast came to a dead
halt An energetic belaboring, backing and
saving had no effect, and the commodore
turned around and went home. He got a
bag of lump sugar and again started cut,
leading the horse and feeding him lump al
every few steps. This he continued until the
place where the horse baked was passed,
after which he got il and had no difficulty
in driving to his journeys end In telling
the story to Mrs. Waddell, he said: Il have
tried the same course of procedure with
women and it has always proved effective" "

Making 1t Right with the Court.

An amusing incident occurred in Judge
Fishers court the other day, which has just
been made public. Judge Fisher is a very
digniiied man while Oh the bench, and if
ever before smile was known to sweep
across his solemn countenance during court
hours the fact is not of record.
A Juror failed TO answer to his name when
called, and an attachment was issued for him.
He was brought in two hours later by a dep
uty sheriff, and standing before the judge
received a severe reprimand.
Your honor" said the juror in self justi-
fication, Il have been very sick and the doc
tor forbid me to come"
The man evidently spoke the truth, and
Judge Fisher replied: ''Weil, that being the
case you will not be fined, but must pay the
costs of this attachment. You may go, then,
and report here again promptly next Mon
day morning"
But, your honor, my doctor says l will
net be able to sit on a jury for two years"
''All right" good naturedly replied the
Judge, "make those statements Monday, and
if you are not able to serve l will excuse
you"
This seemed to satisfy the gentleman, and
yet he did not go as permitted - do, but be-
gan funbling in his vest pockets, as if looking
for something.
You may CO." repeated the judge.

cuse me: l haven't got cigar with me, your
honor, or I'd be glad to give it to you.
