Decided by Jury.

1t is not uncommon for an English
Judge to try to raise laugh-and
strange to say, he usually succeeds
by affecting an infantile ignorance of
all things but purely judicial matters.
Sir Henry Hawkins not long ago asked

In the Stocks.

my father and mother were enjoying
their honeymoon in the country. Ny
father was 90. his bride only 30. One
day In their wanderings they came to

his feet in the semicircular holes; she
in girIsh fun shut down the top board,
when, to her horror, she found that it
closed with a spring and that she had
made her husband fast in the stocks.
She had no idea to whom to apply to
undo the spring; she had to leave her
beloved one and run to the village in
search of rescuer. We can scarcely, in
these days, imagine the difficulties that
lay in her way. Any villager she met
would receive her tale with ieers instead
Of sympathy, and then hasten to the
spot to gaze on the unhappy occupier of
the place of punishment. The bride was
a very pretty girl. with softest nut brown

gown and straw hat with simple ribbons

His Mistake.

The New York Recorder gives a
story of young lawyer who evidently
did not consider the well-known learn
Ing of the judge sufficient reason for
emitting evidence of his own attain
ments.
The judge was compelled to listen
to a case that had been appealed from
one of the police courts. The young
practitioner who appeared for the appel
liant was long and tedious; he brought
in all Of the elementary textbooks, and
quoted the fundamental propositions Of
the law.
At last the judge thought 1t was
time to make an effort to close the argu-
ment.
"Can we not assume" he said pomp-
ously, "that the court knows a little
about law itselfT'
That's the very mistake I made In
the other court" answered the young
orator, ''and don't want to let It de-
feat me twice."

Insignia or H,an Hank

In feudal days the sword was the
insignia of rank. Worn as d part Of
gentleman's ordinary dress. It was the
outward and visible sign of superiority
over the masses. Early In the eigh-
teenth century 1t began, to be laid
aside, partly because II was eumbrous
and partly because it led to mischief,
not only in the chivalric form, of ex-
temporized duels between equals, but
in cold-blooded murders of interiors by
gentlemen" The noisy, drunken and
bloodthirsty young ruffians of rank
who at the beginning of the eighteenth
century banded themselves together
under the title of Mohocks increased
the popular disgust against sword
wearing. When Beau Nash, in the de-
cade between 1870 and 1740 organized
the fashionable society of England at
Bath, he discouraged the wearing of
swords as contrary to the repose and
security OF the water drinking, dancing
and gambling world. From that time
the fashion was doomed. Yet 1t lin
gered on, not only in England, but in
America, until the close of the eigh-
teenth century. The French revolution
put an end to it in France at the same
period. Yet traces Of the old fashion
survive even to this day in the irrel-
evant and useless buttons which still
figure at the backs Of gentlemen's coats,
originally placed there to support the
sword belt, and in the ungainly outline
of the modern dress coat, which is the
outcome of the habit OF turning back
the skirt Of the full dress coat of the
last century SO as to conceal the great
er part of the sword.-New York Her

Entering rivers to spawn, going down
to the sea and re-entering the rivers
constitutes shortly the life history of
the salmon. Speaking generally, it feeds
but little in fresh water, and loses
weight. In the sea it feeds ravenously
and increases at a most remarkable
rate. One British killed salmon has at
tanned to 20 pounds in weight and AZ
feet in length. This fish was taken in
the Tay, and cast of 1t is now in the
auckland museum. Although this was
q monster fish, almost without prece-
dent, yet 40 pound salmon are not at
all uncommon. In rivers the food of the
salmon consists mainly of ephemer@
and their Larvae, worms, and the spawn
and fry of various fresh water fishes. In
the sea its food is more varied and
abundant. Salmon are invariably found
in the proximity of shrimp grounds,
and they devour enormous quantities Of
sand cells. That, however, upon which
they most depend for sustenance is the
myriad fry of the coarser sea fish.
Salmon seem to swim in the sea in
comparatively small droves, probably Of
from 20 to 100, and it is certain that
they are much given to hugging the
coast line. They stay long on banks or
in channels, where favorite food is to
be had, and are only driven of by re-
ceding tides. In spring and summer
they do not inhabit deep water, but
keep more to the banks, usually in only
few fathoms of water. At this time
the sand launce is much fed upon, as is
the sea urchin in it's earlier stages.
Huxley asserts-and his assertion stands
almost alone-that the salmon's food
chiefly consists Of numerous class Of
small creatures found in semisolid
masses upon the surface Of deep water
in short, that the salmon swims in O
species of animal soup, in which it has
merely to open its mouth and swallow
what enters it.-Cornhill Magazine.
"After that" remarked the young
aim who had been telling an inane
ghost story, my mind was a blank"
"That accounts for It," commended a
sharp young woman, and there was
an interregnum of profound silence
