Don't Ise BIntting Pads.

Said an official at the general writing counter in a big post office: Be care full how you use the plotting paper"
 Remembering that good plotting sheets could be had for a penny, inquired Why"
 "We have more iHdHisitiye than ready-goine visitors, he said. tSome who have little or no business to mind take pleasure ill acting oyerseer to others Lots of idle folks drop in here purposely to examine the plotting pads.
 Not that the examination is profit able to the examiners in the general sense, but look there-you observe the old gentleman in the blue pilot coat at the central counter? His hobby is to busy himself with other peoples con cerns. Today he is quieseent; the pads are new, and offer no amusement.
 q have seen him (in a lowered voice. ''take up pad after pad. place small hand glass over them, and read what impression the writers have left on the absorbent paper He is a pest but we cannot expose him.
 Sorry to say, more than one lady finds amusement ill similarly treating fbe blotters. One, in particular, fingers long in the vicinity of the writing counters. Carrying a small folding glass. she seems to delight in reading snatches of communications which the pads have mirrored on their sheets. When disturbed, she pretends to be in terested in writing, or filling tele- graph form. Yes, warn you not to use the official pads too literally"

Curious Fishing.

The natives of Kottiar are in the habit of digging every year, in the summer the dry banks of the Vergel river for fish, which they dig out by hundreds, just as they would potatoes; The mud jumps are broken open and the fish, perhaps eight or ten inches long. will always be found alive, and often frisky, as if just removed rom it's supposedly native element-the water. In the dry bed of several Afrl- ran rivers a similar practice is often pursued. A kind of mud fish burles itself whilst the bottom is still moist, and remains there all the summer, waking up when the rains commence again.

 for trial or judgment 1t is in the rear of the palace and hangs over the dark waters of the narrow canal
 The poetic sentiment attached to the bridge, which gave it the famous name It still bears, arose from the beliet that many political prisoner, innocent of wrongdoing was led over this span and down into the dungeons below whence there was no escape. So damp and foul are these cells that they are called wells. Travellers in search of the htdeOus always visit them. T heir gloom and horror have been painted in words in Dickens Pictures from Italy"
 Standing on the Bridge of Signs Byron wrote his splendid poem on the rise and fall of Venice
 Some question has been raised as to the stability of the foundations of this bridge. It is known of course, that the mediaeyal architects of Northern Italy were men of extraordinary ability; but their skill exhibited itself more in the artistic than in the engineering side of their profession.
 In the latter branch they may almost be looked upon as experimentalists and in view of the nature of the soil of Venice. the wonder is that theiI structures have lasted five or six hun dred years especially when it is re- membered that they did not seruple to add great weight ia the way of super structures to buildings which had been erected for centuries without strength ening the foundations.
