his huge fist struck the table with Il

tones. L do was the reply, made in
accents pitched in high key, which
contrasted strongly with the cavernous
tones of the learned counsel. Then
Mr.. Jones, with flashing eyes and
clinched fist, coiled himself up like Il
serpent and Missed: How long have
YOU known him?' Ten years." was
the answer, tossed back to the lawyer

Methods of Reportlnp.

In old times there were three ways
to report testimony-the verbatim, the
sketch, and the summary. Let us give
an example:
John Smith, sworn and examined by
Mr.. Jones:
Q. What is your business?
\. 1 am Il carpenter.
@. How long have you worked at
your trade?
\. l have worked at my trade for
twenty years.
Q. Do you know the defendant?
a. do.
@. How long have you known him?
A. I have known him for the last
ten years.
So much for the verbatim. Now, for
the sketch:
"John Smith, ON being sworn, said
he was carpenter. He worked ut his
trade for twenty years and knew the
defendant for ten years.
And the summary:
John Smith, carpenter, knew de-
PENDANT for ten years."
The yellow fever, however has
evolved Il new style Of reporting.
John Smith, tall and angularly
formed fellow with bushy red hair and
flaming whiskers, was sworn. He
kissed the book with reSOunding
smack, adjusted his green neclltie, sat
down in the witness chair, ran his
right hand through his ruby locks
crossed his legs, which were closely
incased in blue and white trousers OF
the latest cut, and then looked straight
into the eyes Of Counsellor Jones. Ii

business: L am Il carpenter was the
humble reply made in clear and higl
pitched voice. that was heard distinct

The Flight Into Egypt.

In the land where the Pyramids be;
And her robe was embroidered with
stars, and her belt
With devices right wondrous to see,
And she lived in the days when our
Lord was child
On His mothers immaculate breast;
When he fled from His foes-when to
Egypt eXiled,
He went down with st. Joseph the
Blest.
This Egyptian held converse with
magic, methinks,
And the future was given to her gaze
For an obelisk marked her abode, and
sphinx
On her threshold kept vigil always,
She was pensive and ever alone, nor
was seen
In the haunts Of the dissolute crowd
But communed with the ghosts of the
Pharoahs, l ween
Or visitors wrapped in shroud.
And there came an old man from the
desert one day,
With a maid on mule, by that road;
And IL child on Her bosom reclined--
and the way
Led them straight to the gipsy's
abode,
And they seemed to have Travelled a
wearisome path,
From their home many, many a
League
From a tyrants pursuit, from an en-
emy's wreath,
Spent with toll, and o'ercome by
fatigue.
And the gypsy came forth from her
dwelling. and prayed,
That the pilgrims would rest them
awhile;
And she offered her couch to that del,
icate maid.
Who had come many, many a mile
And she fondled the Babe, with affec.
TONS caress,
And she begged the old man would
repOse,
Here the stranger, she said, ever finds
free access
And the wanderer balm for his woes
Then her guest from the glare OF the
monday she led
10 a seat in her grotto SO cool;
Where she spread them a banquet oi
fruits-a shed,
With Il manager, was found for thu
mule;
/ With the wine Of the palm tree, will
the dates newly culled.
And with song in Il language myster
| ious she lulled
On her bosom the wayfaring Child
When the gypsy anon in her Ethior
hand
Placed the infants diminutive palm
oh twas fearful to see how the feat
ures she scanned,
or the Babe in His slumbcr so calm
Well she noted each mark and eacl
furrow that crossed
! Der the tracngs Of destiny line;
"Whence came yer she cried in aston
ishment lost.
"For this child is of lineage divine.
"From the village of Nazareth" 10
scph replied,
"Where we dwelt in the land Of til
Jew.
We have fled from a tyrant, who's
garment is dyed
In tho gore of the children he slew
We were told to remain till an angel
command
Should appoint us the hour to return
But till then we inhabit the foreigner
land,
And in Egypt we make our sojourn.
"Then tarry with me" cried the gips
in joy,
"And We make Of my dwelling you

Many years have prayed that tt,

mobile service has been established because of
the heavy. ever increasing amount of mail from
the United States. For the pony coaches which
were IN use hitherto the government paid
$1,000 year The coaches made the trip daily
in from twelve TO fifteen hours. The automo-
bies cover the distance in nine hours and
tn ,ugh they cost $4,000 a year they carry
twice the mail almost twice as rapidly The
chief fault with the ponies was the way they
became winded. AT the end of each fifteen mile
section the team had to be changed. The au-
tomobie thus far has been credited with a
continuous performance that would satisfy even
