the matter invited him to dine at no.

instructed to set before the connoisseur
a bottle of excellent moselle. It was to
bear no label or other marks to distin-

questioned the landlord was to say that
it cost only small price. The invita-
ton was accepted, and the plot was
carried out. The guest had hardly taken

the failure of his trick, paid the differ

They Do Not Mind the Pennies.

Experience has made the men of the
fruit stands overcautious in handling
coin above the size of a 10 cent piece.
The larger pieces they will test upon the
pavement or sink their teeth into in a
tentative fashion. It is to be noted,
however, that whenever customer
makes penny purchase they pocket his
change without scanning italmost
hastily indeed. There is deep reason in
this procedure.
For one thing, nobody counterfeits
the cent piece; it is too cheap. For :.,-
other thing, the fruit dealer knows that
coin of smaller denomination is pass
ing into his hands For a third thing,
and this is the most important, there is
always a chance that the customer is
deceived himself and is handing over a
nickel, dime or one of the minor gold
pieces, under the impression that he is
paying but penny. # he looks satisfied
and starts to go away, he is not likely
to be called back to get the change. Oc-
casionally some such involuntary wind
fall comes the way Of the fruit man. -.

English Lawyers.

In the United States the names ap-
piled to lawyers are usually attorney
and counselor at law. In Great Britain
there are barristers at law, who are
counselors, learned in the laws, quail
fed and admitted to practice at the bar;
solicitors, who are attorneys, advocates
or counselors at law, who are authorized
to practice in the English court of chan
Gerry; sergeants at law, who are lawyers
of the highest rank and answer to the
doctor of the civil law. Only after l6
years of practice at the bar can one be-
come a sergeant. Queens counsel are
eminent lawyers, who are given by the
government that title, and from their
number all the judges are chosen.

SPANKING AN ELEPHANT.

Did you ever see an elephant spanked?

Two elephants led Abdul to an open

battery the punishment began. The Gull

There were IA elephants on one side
and the officers and men of the battery

FOR STARTING THE FIRE.
Tho Use to Which the Fishermas Puts His
Discarded Nets. fl

Discarded Nets.
In the majority Of households an old
newspaper is the material most COM
monty used to start fire, and the adj
justment of this material is a matter Of
considerable art. There should be enough
of it to make flame sufficient to ignite.
the wood laid upon it, and it should be
put in with just the right degree of
looseness so that the air will circulate
through it and make it burn freely and
to the best advantage But there are
houses in which paper is never used for
this purpose-the homes of fishermen.
Here, year in and year out, day after
day, the fire is started with a chunk Of
discarded tarred netting, and there is
nothing like it.
When a net gets tender, SO that it is
likely to burst when a body Of kelp or
seaweed floats against it in tide way,
or to break with a big catch of fish, it
is condemned. It may be whole and
look all right, but it doesn't pay to take
any risks with it. Some fishermen using.
a considerable number Of nets may have
half ton Of such netting in a year.
They use it to start fires, and give away
some of it. Formerly they sold it for
junk, and they do SO now occasionally,
though not So much as they did. It
brings cent pound. -"
This netting has been tarred again
and again with fine, thin tar and it is
thoroughly saturated. The net may be
9 feet deep. A length Of it is rolled up,
and the roll is then fattened down. The
fattened roll may be inches wide, and
it is cut off with an Ak into chunks of
perhaps foot in length, just enough to
lie nicely on the CRATE Of kitchen
sange. It is thoroughly dried before it
is used. 1t all ignites quickly, and
burns fercely and uniformly, with a
blush flame and rather pleasant odor.
A properly laid fire with section of
old tarred netting to start it never goes
out. Whoever attends to the kitchen
fire in the fisherman's house prepares it,
if possible, the night before and pulls a
strand from the tarred netting out
through the bars of the crate in front.
To start the fire in the morning all that
is necessary is to touch lighted match
to the end Of that tarred rope yarn.
Some of this tarred netting has been
sold to start the fire in locomotives.
Such thing is not unheard Of as the
use Of cotton waste and oil for this pur-
pose, but sheet Of old tarred netting
laid over the CRATE bars beats the cotton
waste out Of sight. Still, locomotives
have multiplied and tarred Netting cuts
no figure as a means Of starting the fire
in them. It is perhaps now used for
that purpose, if at all, only on roads
running through or near fishing dis
tricts And, as said, it is now rarely
sold. The fisherman uses it to start his
own fire, and the man who has more
than he wants gives to his neighbor.-
