NJ. Joseph Bertrand, tho we'll

manent secretary of the Academy Of
Sciences, lately celebrated his gold
en- wedding. The circumstances un-
der which he became engaged to his
wife form a romance surprising the
most lively efforts of the sensational
novelist.
In 1912, soon after the opening Of
the Versailles railway, Admiral Du-
mont d'Urvillc, q distinguished Off
Ger, famous for the discovery OF the
Venus of Milo, as we'll as for many
moro strictly professional exploits,
was travelling from Paris with his
charming young bride and his pr
vato secretary. A heated axle set the
carriage on fire, and, according to the
then prevailing custom, the doors
were locked. The secretary escaped
through the window and did his best
to rescue the other two. Admiral
Dumontd'Urville thrust the fainting
lady out of the narrow aperture into
young Bertrand's arms, crying:
"Save her! Save her, my friend, and
marry herr An instant later the
blazing woodwork fell in upon the
| gallant old sailor, and he was speed

Sir Walter ScOtt's Pluck,

When Sir Walter Scott was left
poverty stricken, with debts amount
ing to 500, 600, he said to his credit
ors, Give me time, and l shall be
able to pay you every farthing."
Having relinquished his property to
his creditors, he said to a friend in a
deep, thoughtful tone: 1T must be
very hard thus to lose all the labors
of a lifetime and be a poor man at
last. But if God grant mo strength
and life a few years longer | have
no doubt shall be able to pay it ALL"
Hethen set to work in earnest, and
during the three years that followed
performed II literary feat unparal-
leled and reaped immense profits.
In these three years, from 1927 to
1880, he wrote and published about
80 different volumes, making more
than ten a year. Besides this he was
editing an edition of his novels, to
which he added cOpiOus notes, and
such was the demand for these works
that W. 1000 persons were occu-
pied i'll their mere manufacture. 1t
seems hardly credible, but 10 of these
volumes edited and published
in Il year. The profits resulting from
these three years of labor amounted
to something like $500, 000.-EX

Hc Is witty and Can Also BE Humorous

From the Scotchman we do not ex-
pect humor, but we get something
perhaps more overwhelmingly, wit.
A Scotch witness must be handled
carefully, o + he may prove a Tartar,
as the following incident will show:
The witness i'll question excited the
counsel's suspicion by the accurate
measurement he returned of the
length of some article. You are

"Aweel, was it not that / kenned

question, so | teuk the measure O.

But a Scot can be humorous if he
chooses. Listen to him. He was dis
charged from Holloway Jail, and in
answer to n who inquired how
things went with him, replied:
"Weel, you see, a body Gamma hae

this Scotch? Does not every word
breathe the man-his philosophy, his
Difference to the powers that be, and
his religious twang?
But the canny Scot sometimes
overreaches himself. An Aberdeen
young man was charged at Bow
street with being drunk and disor-
derby and trying to force his way
back into the Black Bull after hours
for another "wee drappie." He ask
