The late Lord Ludlow was exceedingly
mild on the bench. and on more than one
occasion his amiability in interposing out
of pity to a confused witness led to un-
foreseen results. A witness was once
badgered about a denial of intoxication.
The judge asked him kindly from the
bench, Did you say, I was not drunk.

Born Snnitarians.

It is somewhat reassuring, after the
oft repeated asseveration of tine family
physician, that women are altogether too
prone to rush in with their advice and
remedies where the skilltul practitioner
almost fears to tread, 10 be told that

nent member of the PENNSYLVANIA board
of health This tribute is still further en-
HANGED by the statement that whereas
women are born sanitarians, men must
be taught. This fach" the speaker de
clares, is based upon the evolution of
the race, as the role that cleanliness
plays in civilization is undoubtedly due
to women. Advantage Of this gift should
be taken in our national housekeeping.
Women by office and evolution are the
housekeepers and health officers of TIE
family. Let them become publicly and
officially our health officers and sanitary
managers. The marvellous ability and
success already shown by them in this
field warrant every confidence There are
millions of unoccupied women who can

BARRIERS In Indfn.

In India, the land of iron caste the
BARRIERS rank away down along with the
blacksmiths and the washerwomen. A
BARRIERS son must be barber all his life.
and his wife must be BARRIERS daughter.
Like the Chinese barber, the Hindoo
shaving man travels about in search Of
customers. and the barbering is done in
the street. But there are no stools, both
barber and customer squatting on their
neels While the operation is performed.
The Hindoo barber is manicure and n
chiropodist as well, and his paw is wretch.

A submnrine Maintain

Almost at the very center of the At
lantic ocean, only trine north of the
equator and about half way between
South America and Africa, is a subma.
rrine mountain so high that in spite of the
immense depth of the sea it thrusts its
peak 40 feet above the waves. This peak
starting from its position, forms a laby.
rinth of islets, the whole not over half
mile in circumference, known as st.
Paul's rocks, So steep is the mountain
of which this lonely resting place of sea
birds is the summit that one mile from

Among the many products of civilza-

THE RUSSIAN ALPHABET.
A Most Formidable Obstacle 1t Is to
Linguistic study.

At the very threshold of the Russian
language you are confronted by the al
phabet, and a most formidable obstacle
it is to linguistic study. Cadmus with a
prophetic sympathy for the modern
schoolboy, stopped short at "a letters
when he invented Greek. but Cadmus-
koffovitchsky las his Russian prototype
is called launches no fewer than 80 on

Some of these, it is true, have tho same
form as Roman characters, but as their
sound is usually entirely different this
similarity is rather an additional STUN
bling block than a help. Others, again.
resemble our letters turned upside down
or wrong side about or otherwise CON
torted. There is one letter for which we
conceived profound respect, not un.
mixed with awe.
1t resembles the figure III on a clock
dial and has the appalling sound of
Glitch" When we came across a word
containing this letter, we gazed upon it
in silent admiration. Any attempt to
pronounce ii would, we felt, prove fatal
to our incisors, and considering the high
fees charged by good dentists we could
not afford to run any risks.
Another curious specimen, like small
b, with projecting snout on top, has alb
solutely no sound whatever and is de
fined as final mute" In spite of (or
perhaps on account of its silence, it is
greatly in evidence, no word of any size
being considered complete without it. Its
only purpose, apart from that of an orna-
ment, seems to be to warn the reader
that the preceding word is in Russian
and that he must not try to pronounce il
according to western rules.
When a foreigner writes his name in
Russian, he invariably tacks this final
mute" on to it. 1t is regarded as a subtle
compliment to the Russian nation and
doubtless has due weight with the secret
police.-Pearson's Weekly.

LOVE HAS A vow.

They say, these critics wise and true,
That all liie's tales are told,
That death lies meath the morning dew,
That the heart OF the world is coldl
The heros dust, his red sword rust,
Ny lady sighs no more;
Good deeds Of valor. love and trust,
Ha, ha, are poets lorel
But lips speak low, and hopes beat high;
Sweet faces flash and fade;
Brave souls bow down to the mystic sky;
Ho! Love has a vow new made!
And never star DER the western bar
Falls into the deep OF night
But thought is born that will burn far, far,
In the deathless soul of the right!
