great difficulty that at first presented
itself was the mode of ascertaining
what this weight really was, and all
the learned and clever men of the court
seem to have endeavored in vain to con-
struct q machine of sufficient power to
weigh the elephant. At length it Is
said that Shahjee came forward and
suggested plan which was simple
and yet ingenious in the highest degree.
He caused the unwieldy animal to be
conducted along "a stage. specially made
for the purpose by the water side, into
a fat bottomed boat and then having
marked on the boat the height to which
the water reached after the elephant
had weighed it down the latter was
taken out and stones substituted III
sufficient quantity to load the boat to
the same line. The stones were then
taken to the scales, and thus, to the
amazement of the court, was ascertalned

ENGLISH LAWYERS.
The Sinai Fees That Are Received by the
London Barristers.

"A barrister's fees are small, and they
are always paid in advance and the
sum is recorded under the title of the
brief. A friend who has large practice
showed me his Textbook yesterday. The
largest item was 80 guineas, which is
less than $500. The average was about
500. Fees are regulated by the benchers
Of the inn according TO the service per-
formed, and no contingent fees are al
lowed. A bairister may accept a case
for nothing or return the fee in cases of
charity, but he cannot without violat-
ing his oath, directly or indirectly, ac-
cept any greater compensation fer a
legal service than is allowed in tie
regular schedule fixed by the benchers
of his inn. Ii he does SO, he is dobarred
from practice
&c Is common custom in America
for "a lawyer to undertake suit for the
recovery Of damages or claim of any
kind with contract that he shall re
ceive certain percentage of the amount
of money recovered. In England such
an act would be considered disreputa-
biO, anu any bHiliSNOi iOuuu SulIly
would be expelled from his inn. The
fees are regulated by the amount of
time and labor required, and not by the
amount Of money involved a barrister
may receive a fee Of $500 in case in
yolving only 5000 and he may receive
fee Of $50 in case involving 81, 600. =

But Little Danger From Lightning.

Writing on 1.-The Needless Fear OF
Lightning" Edward w. Box, in The
Ladies Home Journal, says that lit
will doubtless surprise the timid to
know that only 200 deaths year occur
OH an average throughout this entire
country from lightning, or one person
in every $50. 600 people. Now, in COM
parison, 3 times as many people are
killed each year by falling out of win
dows, over twice as many from being
bitten by rattlesnakes, while 90 per
cent more are killed with 'unloaded'
pistols More people are drowned
around New York city alone every year
than there are deaths from lightning all
over the country. In fact, more people
by 30 per cent are killed by being
kicked by horses in New York city than
die from lightning Throughout the whole
of the United States. The casualties OF
the south show the dangers of being
lynched and of being killed by lightning
are about the same. The trolley cars OF
cur cities kill far greater number of
people than do the lightning storms.
Now, these are facts. They are strictly
accurate and carefully computed.

or for any other reason, he advises the
solicitor to 60 elsewhere. If he accepts
the responsibility, the solicitor leaves
the amount of the fee in coin with the
brief, so that the barrister has his pay
in advance. This is the almost invaria-
BILE custom. The only exceptions are in
cases of close friendship between the
solicitors and barristers and where there
is large amount of litigation in
which both are involved. Then it is
customary for the barrister to make up
his bill at the end Of the month or the
end of the quarter, but the fee III each
case must nevertheless be written upon
the brief and recorded in the books of
the court.

him at the last turn and both swept round
together. Missions momentum, however,
would not allow him to make short turn

TWO FOULS IN ONE RACE.
An Exciting Contest Between Nilsson
and DOno1hue.

An Exciting Contest Between Nilsson
and DOno1hue.
One Of the most exciting skating races
in this country was skated at Convention
Hall last night between John Nilsson, the
champion OF Canada. and Joe Donoghue,
once champion of the world and present
champion of the United States, who raced
for one mile for the indoor championship
Both men mad expressed the greatest de-
sire to meet each other. but have never
been able to arrange q meeting. The race
last night was therefore Of unusual in
terest.
Nilsson appeared on the ice first and
was greeted rather coldly by the spec
tators. many Of whom did not know who
the little skater was. While waiting he
gave a wonderful exhibition Of fancy skat-
ing on the racing skates, which are sixteen
and one-half inches long. When Donoghue
appeared he was given a hearty welcome.
After some warming up the men toed the
line at the south end Of the hall and waited
for the pistol. Nilsson caught the sound
and was off in twinkling, with Donoghue
close behind, and 1t seemed as though the
