The EdelWeiSS,

In certain parts of the Alpine chain
there are certain portions delivered
over to the chamois as their own, in
which no gun may be fired, where the

when hard pressed they may flee, as
as to cities of refuge. In Tyrol such
an asylum is called Gamsenfreiheit

for law in Switzerland to extend ita

it to their sweethearts, and also for

The Sweet and Sentimental Murderer.

"There is a story that the most
famous of all Japanese robbers, Ishl.
kawa Goemon, once by night entering
a house to kill and steal, was charmed
by the smile of baby which reached
out hands to him, and that he re-
mained playing with the little creature
until all chance of carrying out his
purpose was lost" writes Lafcadio
Hearn. "It is not hard to believe this
story. Every year the police records
tell of compassion shown to children
by professional criminals. Some
months ago terrible murder case was
reported in the local papers-the
slaughter of q household by robbers.
Seven persons had been literally hewn
to pieces while asleep; but the police
discovered little boy quite unharmed,
crying alone in pool of blood; and
they found evidence unmistakable that
the men who slew must have taken
great care not to hurt the child"

Difficult RHYMES.

In the Sunday Journal of June 81
was given a list of words for which it
is either impossible or nearly 80 to
find rhymes in the English language.
"Thin buck too" was given as the
only rhyme for "Timbuctoo. There
is better one, however, which was
originated by clergyman some years
ago in a verse written during the
progress of social game:
at we're a cassowary,
On the plains Of Timbuctoo,
would eat a missionary
Hat and boots and hymn-book too"
The only rhyme for "scalp' is "alp." 1"
It would require much thought to con-
meet these words with good effect, but
Byron has certainly done 50 in the
following passage from "Child Har-
old"
"Above me are the Alps.
The palaces of Nature whose vast walls
Have pinnacled in clouds their snowy scalps
Aud throned Eternity in icy halls
OF cold sublimity, were forms and falls
The avalanche-the thunderbolt of snow"
There is also the case of Dean Swift,
who was at one time most anxious to
find a rhyme to Bettsworth--the name
of friend. One day, while remon-
strating with workman, whose claim
for wages he disputed, the man ex-
claimed: 'It's what my two-days
sweat's worthi" Dean Swift had found
his rhyme and gladly paid the claim
without further parley.-New York
