Criminals simultaneously.
From the sydney Bulletin.
The champion fly catcher Of Australia is a
judge. He is only happy in the summer; in the
winter when flies are scarce, he wears mel
ancholy aspect, like Othello when his occupa-
ton was gone. But in the hot weather he is
happy AS he sits listening 10 the evidence he
reaches softly after flies and picks them or the
bench or grabs them In the air.
He lies in wait for dies while he is summing
up, and be can solve profound law point and
pursue the fleeing insects at the same time; in
act his mental alertness appears 10 be much
dependent on the presence Of the insect. he
sentenced a prisoner to death once on a Janu-
airy afternoon, after he had caught flies softly
and persistently all through the trial and all
through the summing up. Then the jury re
turned with its verdict. and the Judge, who had
retired while the twelve were considering the
case. came back with dead fly between his
hng rs and resumed his seat on the bench. The
verdict was guilty, the prisoner had nothing
10 say, and his honor proceeded IN a very few
words with the sentence.
prisoner at the par. he said solemnly, and
then he went suddenly for a fly that was stand
ing on his official robes, and caught It, you
have been found guilty of wfllful murder"
Here the mai sUy OF the law made long shot

stage, threw away the blue bottle. "The sen
tence Of this court is that you be hanged by the
neck" Then there was another hiatus while
the bench dived after two flies and caught one
and smashed the other one against the cushion
It'll your body is dead, and" deaning forward

that he was throwing away. It doesn't amount

IN refusing 10 eat fish during thu
cholera scute the Germans evidently
made q great mistake. In the first place,
according TO the best medical author.
tlos in that country, there IL no food
that can be eaten during the prevalence
oi a cholera epidemic with greater safe
ty than boiled or baked fish. In the next
place, because the Germans refused to
buy from them, the fishermen OF Altoca
sought market elsewhere, and found
1t in England. They found also that
thoy could get twice as much for their
fish In England as in Germany. The re-
suit is that they cling 10 the English
market and turn over TO the auctioneers
of Hamburg only what they cannot sell
in England. Prices have risen in Ger-
many owing 10 the shortage In the sup
ply, and the fishermen are doing better
than ever before.
