A countryman who was a witness
was asked, $50 you had a pistol.'

virtue of your solemn oath, what did
you get that pistol for!' ION the
virtue of my solemn oath, 1 got it for
three and ninepence i'll Mr.. Richard

same counsel said to a witness,
You're a nice fellow, amt youF'
Witness replied, Il am, sin, and if ]
was not on my oath ia say the same
OF you"
Judge Burton, who was a very old
and wizened little man, was trying a
case, when another very old man, a
peasant scarcely able tn walk, came
into court To give evidence. Instead
of going to the witness box he went
toward the passage leading to the
bench. One of the counsel called
out to him: Come back, sir. Where
are you goingl Do you think you
are a judge Indeed, sir, said the
old man, looking up ut Judge Bur,
ton, indeed, sir, L believe L am iii

Bread For Trout.

Trout are generally accredited with
being fish of a most fastidiouS diet,
scorning any sort of food save such
delicate morsels as may happen to
tickle their p~alates for the time. In
the common belief they are epicures
of the very first water. 1t is no
doubt that the richer and more plen-
tiful the food supply the less ready
are trout to feed ON any lure artifi-
cially presented, and the closer we
initiate their natural food at the
time the g1eater is u ucces in at
tempting to make the trout take.
At the same time there can be no
question that the trout is as omniv-
erous as most fish, if not more so,
and will eat almost anything. 1t
cannot with truth be predicted of
bread, for example, that it is either
anatural or a common food for the
trout, yet, by perseverlngly throw
ing pellets into the stream, trout
may soon he educated into taking
them, and as a matter of fact the fish
in any particular stream may soon be
educated to such a pitch of rivalry
that there will be a rush for a piece
of bread cast upon the water.-Lon-
don Field.
