In Iceland there are no prisons. and
the inhabitants are 90 honest in their
habits that such material defenses to
property as locks. bolts and bars are
not required. Yet its history for the
past thousand years records no more
than two theftsL
OF these two cases. one was that of q
native who wal detected after stealing
several sheep, but as he had dono SO to
supply bis family, who were suffering
for want of food, when he had broken
his arm, provisions were furnished to
them and work was found for him when
he was able to do il, and meanwhile he
was placed under medical care, but the
stigma attached to his crime was CON
sidered sufficient punishment.
The other theft was made by q Ger.
man. who stole ~ sheep. But O. be wa
in comfortable circumstances and tbs
robbery was malicious the sentences
passed upon him was that he should at
once sell all his property.

Sure They Were Safe.


The method adopted by a rustic look.
ing individual to prevent the loss of his
hat and coat while dining furnished the
patrons of a Market street cafe with
much amusement yesterday. The stran.
ger meandered leisurely into the place
during the busy lunch hour and made
his way to the nearest vacant chair.
Producing several yards of Irvine from
bis pocket, he removed bis hat and
passed the string once around the
crown. making it fast with . double
knot.
This, of course, caused . number Of
diners to suspend hostilities in order
better to observe the next move, but the
careful stranger appeared oblivious to
the sensation he was creating. Taking
of his coat. he passed the loose end of
the string through one sleeve. aud, after
securing the end to his wrist, hung bat
and coat on the rack. Assuring himself
that the knots were firmly tied, the
cautious individual sat down and pro-
cseded to get away with a substantial
meal. -Philadelphia Record.

these s~ympathizers of the rebellion was
Clement L. Vallandigham Of Ohio, whom
| General Burnside arrested as a traitor,
and a court. martial sentenced him to
| close confinement during the war; but
President Lincoln changed the sentence
to Punishment across the lines, into the
confederacy.
That same year, this same Vallandig-
ham had 80 great a following in the state
of Ohio that they selected him as a can
didate for governor, and political friends
petitioned Lincoln for his release.
The president offered to remit the
sentence il the committee Of prominent
democrats who petitioned would sign q
statement that rebellion existed and
that constitutional measures were taken,
when the army and navy were used to
suppress it, and that esch of the CON-
mittee would pledge himself ID use his
personal influence and power to carry
on the war. This, however, was not
done, and in November, 1864, at the
Ohio election, Vallandigham was de-
feated by more than a hundred thousand
majority.
There are two truisms that are always
applicable: History often repeats
itself" History is philosophy teaching
by examples" The same principles that
are applicable to the triangle drawn on

studying the triangle marked by three
| fixed stars at worldwide distances apart.
Aguinaldo's cause is not 20 plausible
