Caught.


In countries where military conscrip'
tion exists, men pretend to be afflicted IN
divers ways in order to escape service.
Pretended inability to see is exposed by
the surgeons without difficulty, but pre-.
tended deafness sometimes battles the
examiners. a counter trick on the part
of the officers was for some time effec-
tive against this fraud. The rrcrutn"
officer, after conscript had pretended
to be deaf, remarked, in an ordinary
tone of voice, "You are unfit for the ser
vice; you are Free" In many cases the
>s-cruit showed by evident signs of sat.
isfaction that he had heard the remark.
He was then recalled, told that he had
been detected in his fraud, and sent t.
the barracks. After a time however,
the conscripts became too wary to bt
caught in the trap. They had heard OF
the trick, and We're on the lookout fol
this remark, and when il was utterct!
they made no sign of intelligence. i
new trap has therefore been invented by
French officers, the success of which i:

A disappointed asprant to literary
honors asserts that even in the best pub.
fishing houses manuscripts offered for
inspection are not read, unless the au-
thors are well known. This is pure nom
sense. How is a publisher to pursue his
trade ENTHUSIASTICALLY, at all events
accepting manuscripts? AS for the well
known authors, the day must dawn on
which they cease to write, and if newer
writers are neglected meanwhile, there
will then be nothing left to publish. Tho
truth OF the matter is that rejected con-
tributors can never acquiesce in the jus
tice of their rejection; they always at
tribute it to prejudice, or want of arpre-
citation, or neglect Moreover, their
work has not had fair chance, they
think, unless it is read from title-paga
to closing line" 1t never strikes them
that it is useless for the publishers to
wade further than the ordinary read,r
will wade, yet he is pretty good
Judge of the limit of the public patience.
Some writers are conscious that they arc
little slow in developing the interest
of their book. "You will find" they
say, my twenty first chapter particu-
larly striking one." But how is one to
get through the twenty preceding chap.

it may not unreasonably 9e taken
sample of the whole, for it generally
contains the inexperienced writer's h.so
work, written before the flash of inspir-
alton has died out and left him il tic
of his own crude fancies.

"A prcnli,r aIe,hod OF Securing Repairs
at Public Expense.
a good many years age a certain young
cler. who had been fortunate enough to
secure a stool in one of the great public
offices of her majesty, the queen, was
startled out OF his sense of propriety by
a spectacle which he witnessed in the
official apartment in which he was scrv-
ing the State. He has since then grown
gray i'll the public service, and honors
have accumulated upon him but to this
day he remembers with something like
thrill of horror the astounding enc
which in his verdant youth first opened
his eyes to the realities of the civil SER
vice. This was what he beheld.
An elderly gentleman, who was one OF
the senior clerks in the room in which
our young friend was the junior. SUD
denly rose from his desk, dragged the
comfortable chair upon which he had
been sitting into the middle of the room,
seized poker, and attacking the chair
with vigor worthy of an able bodied
Euylisnnan, succeeded in breaking ono
of lis loGs. The chair was in excellent
co:.,iition, so the task was not an easy
one. When it was accomplished tho
senior clerk gave sigh of relief, and
dinging the chair into q coruer of the
rooln returned calmly to his desk and
his pen.
Our young friends first idea was that
Mr.. Blank had Suddenly taken leave of
his senses, and he had expected at tho
FIRST moment of his attack upon the chair
that his colleagues would forthwith put
som" restraint upon him. But, to his
am cement, the other clerks in the room
hardly raised their eyes while the work
Of destruction was in progress. 1t was
clear that they understood all about ii,
| formance Of their chief.
That afternoon when the Office work
was at an end, our raw youth approached
one of his fellow-clerks and questioned
him.
"Can you tell me why Mr.. Blank be.
haved in that extraordinary way this
morning." he said. Il mean when he
broke perfectly sound leg off the chair
in which he had been sitting"
"Oh, replied the other, with shrue
Of the shoulders, that was all right. y
castor had come off one of the legs of his
chair, and you know my lords won's
provide new castors; they will attend to
nothing less than broken leg. SO Bank
had to break a leg in order to get his
chair put right at the public expense
