The head master Of Welsh school,
with the object Of giving his higher
class practical lesson in the use OF
the barometer, placed the instrument
on window about seven feet from the
ground, at the same time telling his
scholars to note any change In 1t and
report to him.
During the dinner hour, one boy,
more meddlesome than the others, be-
gan tampering with the glass. with the
result that it fell to the ground and
was broken to pieces. Anticipating
matters, he watched for tho masters
return from dinner, and, rushing to
meet him. observed, excitedly:
"Sir. the barometer has fallen"
How much?" asked the pedagogue'
thinking of climatic changes.
Seven feet" was the reply, to the
amazement of the master.

Two Wrong.

A few years ago in one Of our rural
towns, I had the pleasure of listening
to a lecture on Capital Punishment"
by a local clergyman. said a we'll
known Bostonian, recently. 1t was at
the close of noted murder trial
which resulted in the conviction of the
accused and mis- sentence to death. The
reverend gentleman took strong
grounds against the death penalty, ar
guing that while it was wrong for a
man to commit murder it was but an
other wrong to kill the murderer, and
that two wrongs never made a right. v
cat least" said he, 81 never heard of
but one case where they did" And he
proceeded to relate the following story,
presumably in support OF his argyll
ment: "A man entered country gro
Gerry, where number Of the villagers
sat around on barrels and boxes, and
asked il two wrongs ever made right ?
The response was Never. So l thought
until recently continued he. when |
met a stranger who asked me to
change So bill for him. ! did so,
and, after his departure found the bill
was counterfeit. So | kept it till
yesterday and showed 1t on fellow
greener than L. The listeners eX-
claimed that those were two wrongs
certainly. but they didn't make right.
Well replied the man, they made me
all right. Boston Courier.
