A Trick of Cross Examination,

In an action for payment of a tailor's
bill, a witness swore that a certain dress
coat was badly made, one of the sleeves
being longer than the other. "You
will" said Erskine slowly, having risen
to cross examine, "swear-that one Of
the sleeves was-longer-than the other?'
Witness-I do swear it.
Erskine Quickly, and with a flash of
indignation)-Then sir, l am to under
stand that you positively deny that one
of the sleeves was shorter than the other:
Startled into a self contradiction by
the suddenness and impetuosity of this
thrust, the witness said, II do deny it."
Erskine (raising his voice as the tu-
multuous laughter died away)-Thank
you, sir; l don't want to trouble you
with another question.-San Francisco

The Australian lamprey has its prin-
cipal habitat in the Murray river, and
consequently in the dry easOn it is apt
to be imbedded beneath the hardened
clay, where no water is. As the stream
recedes, the animal fills its pouch and
disappears into the soft mud below,
there to remain until the drought has
passed away, subsisting on the moisture
which it has learned to store in a special
Szed receptacle at the side of the head.
AS a matter of fact, the fish has mas
tered the difficult question Of water stor-
age on its own account before the race
of homo sapiens has been able to solve
the same problem in the island CONT
nent.
1t is an interesting question whether
this Australian lamprey is not a linger-
ing example Of the fish of MiOcene ages,
and as such may be considered as an an
cestral type of European lampreys. A
sea lamprey that l examined alive,
caught in the salmon nets of the tidal
estuary, had a dintinct tendency to
swell at either side of the head, as if the
pouch might be forthcoming in time Of
actual necessity. If the Australian type
is not the absolute ancestor Of the British
genera, it is at least reasonable to sup
pose hat it is an older form, and that
the divergent genera and species have
descended along different lines in the
great life struggle. That the pouch of
the antipodean lamprey is intended for
the storage of water is a fact that can
hardly be doubted by any one who has
seen the species amid its peculiar sur
roundings.-Cornhill Magazine.

Soldiers Prefer Grain Food.

Cornmeal was the grand necessary of
life to those DICTIONARIES who, led by
Caesar, subdued the world, and who
counted themselves starved and were
apt to mutiny if reduced to the famine
fare of animal food. Even British
troops have been known to suffer from
an exclusive meat diet, as indeed we
found to our cost in the Zulu campaign
of 1878, while the preference of the Ro-
mar soldiery for the vegetable food has
its justification in the experience of the
Russian army, and still more of the
German one in 1870, which carried that
memorable campaign to its triumphant
close ON the Erbswurst pea sausage fav-
ored for a little bacon).-London Lancet.
