A Batch of Anecdotes.

Some interesting anecdotes and gOs- sip, new and old, of the law courts are given in the English Illustrated Maga- zine. The writer of the article, MT. A. J. Hughes, was once present in court when juror who opened the ball by saying, "This case, my lord, really lies in a nutshell" received the reply, You crack it then"
 There have been times when clever witnesses have got the better of coun- sel in a skirmish of words. When the farrier was asked where he got his knowledge of the mares age from, he said, From the mares own mouth, sir.''
 Irish lawyers are generally endowed by Dame Nature with quick wits Anczg them all, perhaps, Cur1an held the palm for lightness and vivacity. When some one told him that no stu dent should be called to the bar who did not possess a landed estate of his own, he retorted, "How many acres make a wiseacreY'

ChermiafrY pf n ,Near.

A tear from the eye of d representa- tive of the Caucasian races is found to be composed of water. salt. soda. phos- phate of lime, phosphate of soda and mucus. From the eye of an African the elements composing the tear are found to be the same as the above, with the single exception of the phos- phate of soda and with the addition of a slight trace of ammonia. The Eski- mos and the fishing Films seldom shed tears, but when they do chemists say they are exceedingly salty.
 The chemical elements in the Cauca- sian tear arrange themselves into par. ticles that look like fish bones, those from a negro's tear form rude cross, while the same process of evaporation leaves the chemicals ill an EskimO's tear in the shape of bow.

Ohatinacy.

"One of the most remarkable cases in my experience" said country doc tor. twas an old woman in a fisher mans hut on the Carolina shore. 1t was long, dreary drive of ten miles, and when reached the place l found that the only occupant besides the sick woman was a skit of girl, who was utterly worn out by weeks of care and nursing. I examined the patient and found every sign of early dissolution. Her pulse was growing feebler, and 1t was only question of few hours, In my mind. before the end would come. The idea of the girl being left alone in that hut touched me, and I decided to remain with her, even though the un- expected happened and the old lady lived through the night The men of the hut were fishermen, and they would probably be back the next day. So sat with the girl in the corner of the room and told her what intended to do.
 "'Won't she get wellY asked the girl after I had explained as mercifully as I could.
 "'No,' I replied, she will not get well. She will die tonight
 "Just then there was a feeble move ment on the bed, and a thin, angry voice drawled out: It ain't so. I won't die. expect to eat the goose that eats the grass off of your grave.'
 "Oh, yes. She's quite well now, and she does not hesitate to tell me how much she likes goose."-Philadelph Ledger

THIRTY YEARS AGO.
items of local interest taken from the columns

June s, 1878.

We crowed before we were out of the woods. The shadow of last winter is yet over us. During week past we have had several frosts, and upon some days comfort has demanded fires.

SCIENCE NoTEs.

A body weighing one pound on earth would weigh twenty-seven and a half pounds upon the sun.
 The highest mountain in the moon is at least 35,OOO feet in height; that is 5000 feet higher than Mount Everest.
 Vanadium is rare metal which oxi- dizes in air with great dficulty, melts at 2,OOO degrees and becomes red hot in hydrogen.
 Perfectly transparent bodies are only visible by virtue of nonuniform illu- imitation, and in uniform illumination they become absolutely invisible.
 A transit of Venus occurs only four times in 2S3 years. 1t is most impor- tant to astronomers because it gives them an opportunity of measuring the distance of the earth from the sun.
 The sun and the earth are both prac. tically spherical in shape, and the earth Is evidently only small, cooled off or frozen sun. The sun has a shell of glowing metallic clouds; the earth has e shell of solid opaque rocks and metals

"I'm afraid I'll have to charge you full fare for that boy, madam" said the ticket agent as he issued ticket tc a sharp featured Boston woman of middle age and held out his hand fol the additional fare.
 "What for?' she asked.
 "He is more than twelve years old"
 "Ain't you Tom Sanders that used tc live in Greenwich about eight years agoY" inquired the woman, eying him.
 "Yes, but why?'
 "Used to buy your tea and sugar of Widder Jones?"
 "I believe did"
 "I'm the Widder Jones. Recollect the last lot of groceries you had of me those you promised to pay for in ten daysY'
 ''Why, Mrs. Jones, didn't I didn't I"-
 "Those groceries, MT. Sanders, ain't been paid for yet, and this boy lacked about a month of being twelve years old when you got them. Does he go?'
 "He goes, madam" said the agent as he gave her half ticket, with sickly smile. "The boy is probably largo for his age''

Curious Fire Alarms.

In St. Petersburg the arrangement of fire alarms is rather peculiar and de cidedly unique, and the fire alarm tele- graph is an unknown thing. Instead a fireman is at all times in the tower of the city hall, and he watches the sur rounding city to catch the first glimpse of a fire. When a fire is discovered during the day, he runs up black balls on the top of the tower as signals; at night red lanterns are used. The num- Der of the balls or lanterns shows the district or ward in which the fire Is located, says writer on Foreign Fire Fighters in Cosmopolitan. As soon as the signal is seen by the man on duty at the engine house he rings 8 bell outside, which calls together the members of the company, who may be scattered over a couple of blocks. This method is not conducive to quick time in reaching the scene, and from twenty minutes to half an hour Is good work unless the fire happens to be near an engine house.

Rx One Arm.

"It is a matter of surprise to me-" re marked a man who is keen observer recently, 'that half the children of this country do not grow up minus an arm"
 "But whereforeY' asked the person to whom he was speaking.
 "Here is an illustration" continued the first speaker. "Do you see that woman walking with little child Now, notice her when she crosses the street."
 At the crossing the woman lifted the child by one arm. It dangled in the air and it's feet did not touch the eartt until it was across the street, when the mother dropped it on the sidewalk.
 "WeI, the arm held, didn't it|'
 "But," continued the philosopher, "l was afraid at one time it would be wrenched from its socket. Now, that is q sight you can witness every hour in the day-mothers dragging children out of street cars, across the streets ol up a flight of stairs by one arm. wonder how the mothers would like ii if a being four times as large as them selves should suddenly swoop dowr and lift them by one arm. I'd like tt see it tried once, just would"

Two Impossible Men.

Dr. Hauslick once asked Schumanr how he got on with Wagner
 Mot at all" replied Schumann; "for me Wagner is impossible. Doubtless he is very clever man, but he talks too fast-one cannot get a word in."
 Some time after, In an interview which Hauslick had with Wagner, al fusion was made to Schumann.
 With Schumann," said Wagner, 'it is impossible to arrive at an under standing. He says nothing. Some years ago on my return from Paris I called upon him to talk of operas, con- certs, composers and other interesting matters with which l had become ac- quainted. Schumann looked at me stolidly, or rather he looked into space, without saying a word. Faith, I took leave of him almost immediately. He Is an impossible man."

HIS LAST HoPR REALIzRD.-In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after fortune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his travelling about and afterwards his camp ing upon his claim, he encountered much
 bad water, which, together with the severe heat, gave him a very severe diar- rhoea which 1t seemed almost impossible to check, and along in June the case be. came so bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony, and in 8 few minutes the dose was repeated. The good effect oi the medicine was soon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for fortnight. That one little bottle worked 8 complete cure, and he cannot help but feel grateful. The seasonssfor bowel disorders being at hand
 suggests this item.

A Hard Hearted PeODle.

Filial piety finds no place in Tibet an character. It Is no uncommon too old for work, out of doors and to leave him to perish in the cold. The superstition that the souls of the dead can, if they will, haunt the living drives their hardened natures to gain by the exercise of cruelty the promise of the dying that they will not return to earth.
 As death approaches the dying per son is asked, Will you come back>Sr will you notw If he replies that he will, they pull a leather bag over his head and smother him; if he says he will not, he is allowed to die in peace. Edinburgh Review.

The Banks of Newfoundland,

The finest codfish in the world are
 taught on the banks of Newfoundland These banks have no connection with the shores of the islands, from which indeed the nearest is almost 100 miles distant. They are really great rocky heights rising from the bottom of the sea. The great bank measures $40 miles from north to south, and from east to west it measures in places 300 miles. On this bank the depth of wa ter varies from 50 to 36O feet, but the depth around it is from 10000 to 15O,- 900 feet.
 The fishing grounds-or "cod mead ows," as they are called-do not cover the whole bank, but are about POO miles long by CT broad. Though these have been fished for 400 years the cod are as plentiful as ever. To the east of tle great bank lies the outer or false bank. where the sea is from 300 to 600 feet deep. The cod caught on the banks are finer and larger than the fish taken off the Labrador coast This is supposed to be due to the fact that they have reached the age of four years and upward. at which age their habits lead them 10 feed on the banks in preference to the shore, where the younger fish remain nll tin year.

The Italian peasant girl as soon as she has learned to spin and sew begins to make her wedding rousseau. Thence piece by piece it grows, and she has put into it all her finest stitchery and sweetest thoughts. AS soon as she is q bride she makes a bag of fine muslin This she begins to fill with rose leaves. Each year adds its share. When she dies, perhaps an old woman full of years, it is this rose pillow that her head rests on.

Why numRa I.auUhRi

Sir Richard Wallace once heard the elder Dumas laughing boisterously in his study and was told by a servant that Dumas was working and that he often laughed like that at his work. Ii turned out that the great novelist was ''in company with one of his own char acters, at whose sallies he was simply roaring" But this was years ago. when imagination went hand in hand with animal spirits. It would be difficult te imagine one of the modern intense realistic. analytical school so easily di verted.
