The Archbishop, in Giving 1t. Found That
1t Was Extremely Costly.
Land transfer has lost a great deal
of the simplicity which characterized
the operation in the olde1 time. The
pleasant land of Bosnian, in Sussex,
once belonged to the archbishop of
Canterbury, put was much coveted by
Earl Goodwin, supporter of the last of
the Saxon kings, whose treasury was
unfortunately too empty to purchase
it. He obtained the place by novel
system of land transfer His lordship
attended a great ceremony in the arch
bishops cathedral, followed by his re-
tainers, and, according to time-honored
custom, said to mis- grace: "Da mihi
basium. meaning: Give me the kiss
of peace only, instead of saying
''basium,n he ingeniously substituted
the provincial pronunciation of Bosh-
am. The archbishop graciously re-
piled: DO tibi basium.n which. being
interpreted, is: Il give thee the kiss,
which he did But Goodwin replied:
Thou hast given me BOSNIAN" to
which all his retainers cried: why.
cert'nly;" and the whole crew at once
rode off to take possession of the pleas
ant Sussex territory. The archbishop
could not help himself, and allowed the
transfer to go. The law has greatly
complicated matters since then.-Art

Tree MINES.

A Curious Industry of Southern Asia
Logs Excellent for Collins.
One Of the most curious industries in
the world is the business of mining for
coffin planlls which is carried ON in
Upper Tonquin, portion of the French
possessions in southeastern Asia. In a
certain district in this province there
exists great underground deposit of
logs. which were probably the trunks
of trees engulfed by an earthquake or
some other convulsion of nature at a
comparatively recent period.
The trees, says the Youths Compan-
ion, are a species of pine known to the
natives, and also to some extent TO Eu
ropean commerce, as nam-hou. The
wood is almost imperishable, and has
the quality, either through its nature
or as the result of its soujourn under
ground, of resisting decay from damp.
This quality makes it particularly val
liable for the manufacture of collins,
and for this purpose it is largely ex-
ported to Europe.
The trees are often yard in dame
ter They are buried in sandy earth
at depth of from two 10 eight yards.
and are dug up by native labor as de-
mand is made for them.
In many other places in the world
trees are found underground in a very
fair state of preservation. In Yer
mont certain meadows, which now are
cultivated every year, are known to be
underlaid with great masses of logs
which were brought down and deposited
in great jams in floods within the rec
objection of living men, and left where
they were In the course of time the
interstices between the logs filed up
with earth and all were covered over
evenly with more earth and vegetable
growth.
Whenever any of those buried logs
are dug up they are found to be in a
surprisingly good state of preservation;
but the business of mining" them has
not yet become an industry

STORY OF THRockMoRroN.
How lie Obtained Verdict for a Client
In Texas Court.

How lie Obtained Verdict for a Client
In Texas Court.
The late Gov. Throckmorton, of
Texas. was once engaged in the defense
of a man accused of murder. The evil
dence against his client, says Kate
Fields Washington, was too strong to
be overcome by any plea except that of
self defense; but the man killed was in
his shirt sleeves at the time, and no one
had seen him with a weapon exposed.
Mr.. Th~ockmorton at the proper june
ture of affairs suddenly pulled off
his coat and waistcoat and, turning
around so that the jury could see every
side of him, inquired whether, in their
Judgment, he was armed or not. The
answer in the negative was unanimous.
With knowing smile Mr. Throcl1mor-
ton proceeded to draw from under his
left arm one pistol. another from under
his righs one from each Of his boots,
and, finally, a huge bowie-knife from
under his shirt at the back of his neck.
As he laid the weapons in a row on the
table, he said: you, see, gentlemen,
although in my shirt sleeves it was not
safe 70 consider me unarmed," The
counsel for the prosecution knew from
that moment that their case was gone.
