A QUEER ORGANIZATION.
The silent Club of London and Its Strange
Mode of Procedure.

The Silent Club of London and Its Strange
Mode of Procedure.
A queer club was once established in
London, under the title of the Silent
club. The members were bound to eX-
press themselves at all club meetings,
as far as possible without words. The
first rule of the club was: 1.-THE men,
bers of this academy shall think much,
write little and be as mute as they can"
On one occasion new candidate APP.
piled for admission. But the members
were limited and all vacancies filed. A
meeting was called, the candidate was
to be introduced, and the president was
to announce his decision. When the
gentleman entered the members, who
were all his friends, were as much dis
appointed as he that he was to be re-
fused. AS he approached the president
rose, and silently handed him a cup of
water, so full that single drop would
have made it overflow.
The applicant perfectly understood
what the president meant, but was
courageous and quicll-witted. Without
speaking he took from his button-hole
single rose and laid it gently on top
of the water He laid it on so softly
that not a drop was displaced, and
handed it back to the president with a
| bow.
With one consent the members ap
! plauded. They resolved TO put then
rule aside, and to admit the man who
showed them that he could OrAdHeH
their society without hurting it.
Then the man thanked them in al
/ equally curious way. When the regis
ter was handed him to be signed ht
wrote below his name the number O.
| the club members-1O He added be
| fore it an 0, making it 0100. Under
meath he wrote; Their value will be
| the same"
The man was so modest that the pres
ident complimented him Immediately
by rubbing out the 0 and substituting
| the figure l. This made the numbe'
| 100 Underneath he wrote: "Thei
value will be increased eleven times.
! These ingenious people must have de
! voted a great deal of time and though
to avoid using their tongues Harper

Ev'ry day. E.-
Fair Dame Nature has designed you,
Fair must everybody find you;
Yet would not sit behind you
At the play,
With your "Gainsborough" before me
Down the aisle,
Vengeful feelings gather DER me,
Though SMILE
Cruel as cruel priests OF Brahma
Could be, whom thrilling drama
Seems q flowery panorama
OF q mile.
All the Thespinn emotion
Seems quite Hat;
have not The vaguest notion
What they're at.
have no appreciation
OF splendid situation,
For I'm lost In contemplation
OF your hat,
That you won't misunderstood me
Now pray,
Whatsoever you command nc,
obey
admire you deeply, mind you.
Captivating ever find you;
But would not sit behind you
AT aplay.

Appellant.
Inc option in plaintiff to bay the land under
.ne Iease or cropping contract entered into by
the plaintlti and defendant bearing date 9TH
Gay OF December, 1885, continued for two
years. from the 1st day of October. 1886. It
makes no difference that il was not inserted
III the second lease. it was left out of lhe
second lease by agreement, as something uI-
necessary.
The defendant had a right to change the pur-
chase price during the execution of the lease,
provided it did SO prior to the lst of October
of each year. 1t never did change this price.
1t therefore remained as in the first contract.
Inc plaintiff exercised and gave notice of
MS intention 10 purchase under the option
clause above mentioned, on the Sd of Septem-
Der, lSSI, and then offered to pay the install
cae-ourth of it, and interest on the portion
not then due, and offered to comply in all
respects with his contract. The defendant re-
irsed 10 receive the money and repudiatcd it's
contracts with the plaintiff.
We think that the Judgment is correct and in
acc6rdallce with the principles of law, and
should be affirmed
The statements of the Secretary of the de-
fendant corporation. made to Tlaintif. were
properly admitted. 1t is cvideT% That the CON
