A Scotchman who has n keen appre

a druggist known both for his thrift
and his philosophy.
Once he was aroused from n deep
sleep by the ringing OF his night bell.
He went down to his little shop and
sold a dose Of rather nauseous medicine
to distressed customer.
"What profit do you make out O.

"a ha'penny," was the cheerful an
swer.
"And for that bit o. money you'll lie

was his placid answer. "The dose will

A certain Judge is much given TO

Rnces and friends recognize his air of
abstraction, pass him by with a friend

tie colored newsboy not familiar with
this popularity of the judge accosted
him one day with persistent appeals:
Buy the mornin' news. boss. Have

The judge waved the tiny mite of hu-
manity aside and went on distracted

that was to come up that day in the
court to which he was on the way.
The dusky newsboy was not easily
evaded, and he kept pace with the
judge, shouting his paper cry at fire.

stopped and, grabbing his youthful tor
mentor by the shoulder. he said in his
most severe manner:

1t may surprise some folks to learn
that plenty Of British laws have been
drawn up so carelessly and written in
such muddled language that they are
quite useless for their intended pur-
pose.
One of the acts passed in George
HIS reign. for instance states that
the proceeds Of penalties were to be
given half to the informer and half TO
the poor Of the parish. The absurdity
lies in the fact that the only penalty
which could be inflicted was one OF
transportation for fourteen years.
In 1865 a well known Q. c. created
a lot OF amusement by proposing an
amendment worded as follows; Every
dog found trcspassing on inclosed land
unaccompanied by the registered own
er Of such dog or other person, who
shall on being asked for his true name
and address may be then and there
destroyed by such occupier or by his
orders" This gem OF meaninglessness
was however, not passed.-London Tit.

A naturalist, while visiting Great
Sangir one Of those islands Of the In
dian ocean known as the Celebes, or
Spice islands, found a curious time re
corder lodged at the house of a rajah.
Two bottles were firmly lashed togeth-
er and fixed in a wooden frame A
quantity OF black sand ran from one
bottle into the other in just half an
hour and when the upper bottle was
empty the frame was reversed. Twelve
short sticks, marked with notches from
one to twelve, were hung upon a string.
A hook was placed between the stick
bearing the number of notches corre-
spending to the hour last struck and
the one TO be strrck next. The sentry
announced the time by striking the
hours on large gong.

when was it usual to insert running
mercury in the backs Of swords2
This was a comparatively common
practice among the Italian, French and
Spanish swordmakers Of the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries, but it was
more OF fancy than anything else, for
it never came into general use. It was
not, of course, used for rapiers or the
lighter kind OF swords, but for the
heavier cutting swords.
The method was 10 cast the blade
rather broader at the back than usual
with a hollow running down it. This
was half filed with quicksilver and
sealed up. The idea was that when a
blow was struck with such sword
the quicksilver would fly TO the point
and so increase the weight of the blow.
This theoretical advantage, however.
did not at all cOunterbalance the gen
eral clumsiness of the weapon and its
unhandiness in guarding, and so the
mercuriale swords, as they were called,
from which their ingenious inventor
hoped so much, were rather military
curiosities than practical successes

said. trembling with fear: "Liberator.

rose to address the meeting nor to pre-
serve such magnificent courage in the
face of great peril. Warning the man
to keep quiet. the liberator said Il find
this room too small to contain the num-

hall was still packed, and then O'Con-

IL there is a panic and a rush TO the
