The Sergeant-at-Arms of the House
of Commons would feel lost if he had
to exercise similar functions in one of
our American |, gislatures--say in Kan
sas or even Illinois, declares the Chi
cago Herald. He is too easily upset.
Mr.. Erskine-for that is the gentle
mans name-is described as going
about during the recent fracas "be-
seeching infuriated legislators who
were engaged in the fray to desist, and
begging others who were marching
around with their hats on, to remove
the offending headgear. Imagine an
American Sergeant-at-Arms begging
and beseeching. He would use club.

A Wonderful Clock.

The Chamber of Commerce OF Rouen

the time on three sides and the height
of the tide on the fourth namely
that fronting the harbor. The tide
indicator consists essentially of float
which by means of a cord and counter
weight hung on a drum actuatcs a
series of shafts with bevel wheel gear
ing and moves hand or pointer on
n dial like that of clock, marked
with the Necessary figures to show the
level of the tide. The dials are of opal

Shrcwd Management OF the Paris

The Paris police are shrewd fellows

surprises OF sudden arrest They
never summon man to yield. They
begin with the running cord. Practi-
cal mechanics makes them willing TO
give as much freedom as may be TO
their prisoners limbs. II he is bound
In one limb he is as securely their
prisoner as though they had tied him
hand and foot.
So far has this knowledge been put
in practice, says one OF the Paris
dailies, that when an arrest has TO be
made extempore and the policemen
are without their usual instruments,
they calmly cut all the buttons from
the mans trousers and, grasping him
by each arm. start him briskly to-
ward the station-house. His hands,
meanwhile, are too fully occupied
with keeping his trousers from fall
ing about his legs and tripping him
