The symbol Of the Venetian republic
-the famous lion OF st. Marks made
of bronze. There is a tradition among
the Venetian people that its eyes are
diamonds. They are really white, ag-
ates, faceted. IT'S name is most elabo-
rately wrought, and its retracted, gap
ing mouth and rs fierce mustaches give
It an oriental aspect.
The creature as It now stands belongs
to many different epochs. varying from
some date previous to our era down to
this century. 1t is conjectured that It
may have originally formed a part Of
the decoration OF some Assyrian palace.
St Marks lion It certainly was not
originally, for it was made TO stand
level upon tho ground and had to be
raised up in front to allow the evangel
TO be slipped under its fore paws.

o'coNNELL,s GOODNESS.

A story OF Che Irish LlberatOr ana a
Failing Floor.
Daniel O'Conneli was once address
ing an enormous meeting in Kings
town, and the crowd was so large that
fear was felt for the ssfsty O. the
building. As he was about TO speak
gentleman ascended the platform and
said, trembling with fear: "Liberator,
the door is giving way! The beams are
cracking, and we shall all fall through
IN a few minutes 1t is not given to
many men TO live through such mo-
ments as O'Conpell lived through as he
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 liherator said, Il find
this room too small to contain the num-
Der who desire 10 come in, so we must
therefore leave it and hold the meeting
outside" A few rose to leave, but the
hell was still packed. and then O'Con-
nell said: "Then | VIII tell you the
truth. You are Irisnmen and therefore
brave men. The floor Is giving way,
and we must leave this room at once.
II there is panic and rush TO the
door, we shall all be precipitated into
the room below, but II you obey my
orders we shall be safe Let the dozen
men nearest the door 90 quietly out.
chen the next dozen. and so on until all
have gone. ] shall be the last to leave"
The Irishmen followed the advice, the
hall was quickly cleared, and as O'Con-
nell walked across the floor the broken
beams gave way.--Oxford Caronicie

The racing camel Is yesy carefully bred
and valuable prizes are offered by a
racing society at Biskra for the fieetest

seen the start Of race and it remind

horse race. The camels were all ar
ranged in liae and they smiled the air
In their anxiety TO be OF. A flag was
waved and they set Off at a terrible
pace. as II they were only racing for
short distance. They kept together
until they were almost out Of sight.
Then they seemed to settle down to
their habltuai pace and the race pro
ceeded with long intervals between
the competitors. / have also seen the
finish OF a camel race, and It reminded
me OF the first motor car promenade
between London and Brighton. The
camels were certainly not 30 broken
down and bedraggled. but they came
in at intervals OF several hours and
great patience was necessary to watch
them arrive.

II 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
Ills reign. for inst=nc~, states that
the proceeds OF penalties were to be
given half to the informer sad 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.
