Pats Test.

good story is told OF an Irishman,
more patriotic than clever, who en-.
listed in one of the smart cavalry reg.
iments. The fencing instructor had
experienced rather a difficult job in
the matter OF explaining to him the
various ways of using the sword.
Now" he said, how would you use
the sword IL your opponent feinted!"
"Bedad," said Pat, with cleaning
eyes, I'D just tickle him with the
point to see II he was shamming."

Electric LIaht Not Harmful.

A Russian specialist has decided
that, contrary to the general opinion.
electric light plays less havoc with
the eyes than other forms Of artificial
light. He bases his deductions on the
fact that disease and damage to the
eye are proportioned to the frequency
of the closure of the lids. He found
that the lids close in minute e.S

gas hight, az times with sun light and

The Point at Issue.

A witness, who had given his evil
dence in such way as to satisfy
everybody in court that he was COM
hitting perjury, being cautioned by
Justice -, said at last: MY lord,
you may believe me or not, but
have stated not word that is false,
for have been welded to truth from
my infancy"
Yes, sir" said Justice; ''but
the question rs how long have you
been a widower."

Would Not saem Probable.

A bishop was travelling in a mining
country, and encountered an old Irish.
man turning a windlass which hauled
up ore out of shaft. 1t was his
work to do this all day long. His hat
was off, and the sun poured down on
his unprotected head.
Don't you know the sun will injure
your brain IL you expose 1t in that
manner" said the good man.
The Irishman wiped the sweat off
his forehead and looked at the cle--
gyman.
do We think I'd be doing this all
day IL had any brains?" he said, and
then gave the handle another turn.
