Rehnkinr the Court.

Gambetta prior to the overthrow
Of the empire, was in the act of ad-
dressing the court in behalf Of! a
prisoner, when suddenly he perceived
that the presiding Judge was vlslbly
doing. He paused for minute, and
then, bringing down his fist with a
terrible thump on the desk In front
of him, he shouted in his most
resonant and clarion-like voice: "As
/ was saying before the awakening Of
the COURT" This apostrophe was i'm
mediately punished by the indignant
judge suspending the young lawyer
from practicing his profession for a
period of two months. Less ener-
getic, yet equally effective, was
Maitre Rouse, who, having likewise
observed that the presiding magis-
trate was indulging in a nap, sud
denly stopped talking, The pro-
longed silence, which lasted for four
minutes, had the effect Of Weakening
the Judge, and, as soon as he opened
his eyes, Maite Rouse made a pro-
found bow and resumed his speech,
as follows: "As / was saying, Mes
sieurs de la Cour, at your last audi
ence," laying special stress on the
word "last." The reproof was so deli
cate that everybody smiled, even in
Guiding the Judge himself.

Avenged by His Pets.

Meinrad, a famous Swiss saint, who
flourished in the ninth century, led a
hermit's life in q cell in Einsiedeln,
where he was often visited for advice
and help. The companions Of his
solitude were two tame ravens, to
which he was much attached. In the
year S61 the saint was murdered i'm
his cell by some men inspired by
greed of gold, which they supposed
the poor man to possess. After the
foul deed they fed toward Zurich,
whittier they were followed by the
two ravens. There certain pilgrims
identified the birds, and inquiries
having been made at once, the muir
derers were arrested and punished.
The saints cell remained untenanted
for nearly City years, but was rebuilt
of stone about century afterward,
and some two hundred years later the
great convent of Einsiedeln, still the
richest aud most frequented in
Switzerland, arose on the spot wheue
the lonely preacher was slain.

The side of the hole was as smooth

Suddenly an army of snakes glided
towards him, He discharged both
barrels at them, blowing six to pieces.
The rest crept on. Twice again he
fired at the maddened reptiles, which
had now surrounded him in a with
ing mass, and as he could shoot no
longer he dubbed his rifle and struck
cut right and left, while his compan-
ions overhead aided him by firing
down oG the serpents. At last he
began to grow faint, and Numah,
seeing his terrible peril, thrust his
gun barrel over the edge and Weist
grabbed it and Numah and Orwich
started to pull him up Then his
feet cleared the top of the crag and
he was safe. After recovering his
breath he aided his friends i'm shoot
ing into the mass of snakes directly

exhausted they fshed out all the
dead snakes they could and carried
them home.

Wages in China.

The wages paid to the laborers are
about cd. per diem, with ratiOnS
The workers are easily contented, de-
handing only the plainest of food,
while for housing they are satisfied
in winter to creep all together under
a low mat shed with a solid back to
the north wind. The severity of the
weather, however, usually stops all
such work before Christmas. What
the men do when they retire to win
ter quarters / cannot tell; but China
men have a curious alternating fac
ulty whereby by abstaining from
muscular exertion they are able to
economize considerably in their eat
ing. In times of scarcity, when
wages fall below a certain range,
poor people sometimes choose not to
work, because they consider that
they would have to take more food
to repair the waste than the work
done would produce.

His Make.Up Effective.

A famous English actor once under
took to take part in a certain amateur
performance at Richmond; but as he
had to act the same evening in the
first piece at the Haymarket, as Lord
FOpling, he had not much time to
lose. He accordingly stepped from
the theater into a cab in his stage
attire and used the vehicle, on his
way to Waterloo Station, as a dress
ing-rOom, taking out OF his carpet
bag the smoCk-frock and CATERS in
which he was to play his role later
on. He had not minute to spare,
and, throwing his fare to the cabman,
was about to rush into the booking
Office, when he found himself pinioned
from behind; the driver had got him
fast. "Let me 90, you fool; have
paid you sixpence more than your
fare already" Hang your sixpence!
You are murderer Police, police!"
The actor was soon in custody, and
this was his accuser's story: "Thls
countryman has murdered a noble.
man who engaged my keb in the
Haymarket. 1t took some time to
explain matters, and in the mean
time the actor lost his train.
