A QUESTION OF ENGINEERING.
The French Statesman De Freycinet and
His Argument With . Criminal.

HIS Argument With . Criminal.
a story is told Of the French minis
ter, II. de Freycinet. In the midst of
the trial Of man for high treason he
became deeply interested in an argu-
ment with the accused to the effect that
his crime might have been committed
much more easily and cheaply.
II. de Freycinet is a man Of fno
character and ability. Before he be.
came politician he was q skillful en-.
gineer. When he was president Of the
Judicial council a man who was accused
Of helping to pull down the column
Vendone in 1871 was brought before
him.
The man confessed his guilt, but
pleaded that he was young and fanatical
at the time, and that he had been
drawn into helping to pull down the
column by his pride as an engineer in
arranging sca1folds and ropes to accom-.
plish the feat.
You are a criminal" said the min
lister severely. you insulted the his
tory and the glory Of the country in de-
stroying that column. But" he reflect
ed a moment, 'how did you do it? As
aquestion Of engineering would like
to know
''Oh, it was very simple, replied
the accused, and he sat down at the ia
bic, drew out a plan and calculated
lines, curves and angles, while the min.
lister bent over him, following the work
with interest
AS it went on, however, De Freycinet
shook his head, shrugged his shoulders
and smiled, and when 1t was finished
took paper and pencil and said:
That isn't bad, but you might have
done it much more easily and economic.
ally"
Then in his turn covering the paper
with curves, angles and calculations he
proved that twice as much time and
money as were necessary had been ex.
pended
However" he concluded severely,
"you were guilty Of high treason
against the nation and must pay the
penalty"
The engineer did not escape with a
light sentence, but he had much salts
faction in replying:
"Ah, monsieur, but did you not just
now say that it had cost me too much

A Corral Of Bulls.

In the Irish house Of commons Of 1895
during debate on the leather tax the
chancellor Of the exchequer, Sir John
Parnell, observed that "in the prosecu.
ton Of the peasant war every one ought
to be ready to give his last guinea to
save the remainder Of his fortune" Mr..
Vandeleur replied that "a tax on leather
would press very heavily on the bare
footed peasantry Of Ireland. The Post
in 1912 made the following statement:
1--WE congratulate ourselves most on
having torn off Cobbett's mask and re-
vealed his cloven foot. 1t was high time
that the hydra head Of faction should be
soundly raped over the knuckles.
The present Duke Of Leeds is reported
to have accused the late government Of
making a direct attack on the brewers
by means Of side wind. Only the other
day l noticed, in The Standard, believe,
that Sir Francis Scott, reviewing the
troops after the Ashanti expedition,
said that they were no doubt disappoint-
ed at having no fighting, but If there
had been there would have been many
absent faces here today" 1t was during
the late administration that one Of the
Irish whips telegraphed to Dublin that
"the silence Of the Irish members would
be heard in the house Of commons no
longer"
1t was the celebrated Sergeant Arabin
who, at the central criminal court, in
formed the prisoner before him that "if
there was clearer case Of man rob-
bling his master, that case was this
CASE" and after passing sentence con.
Guided, II therefore give you the oppor-
tunity Of redeeming q character ire.
