A LeEaI Puzzler.

Curious comments by a judge, even
in the presence of the prisoner, though
extremely rare, are not unprecedented.
Mr.. Justice Maule once addressed
phenomenon Of innocence in smock
frock in the following words: prisoner
at the bar, your counsel thinks you in
nocent; the counsel for the prosecution
thinks you innocent; think you inno-
cent. But jury of your own country
men, in the exercise of such common
sense as they possess, which does not
seem to be much, have found you
guilty, and it remains that shall pass
upon you the sentence of the law.
That sentence is that you be kept in
Imprisonment for one day, and as that
day was yesterday you may now 60
about your business
The unfortunate rustic, rather scared,
went about his business, but thought
law was an uncommonly puzzling bust
ness.-LOndon Tit-Bits.

The Juvenile JaDanese.

There are no children in Japan. They
are dignifed burlesques on the grown
ups. The little girls of the family take
care Of the babies by having them
strapped to their backs. Nearly every
maid of five or six has a baby tied t.
her back, and perhaps that account
for the bent back and lettering gait c
the Japanese woman. Though on,
never hears Jap baby cry, if one be-
gins to make mouth and wrinkle I'D
it's funny little face, it's child mother
quiets it by raising her body on her
toes and heels as fast as she can, and
placidity reigns in short order. A man
would feel like a fool quoting Mother
Goose" to a Japanese child or trying
to amuse it as one does our children
AS for chucking one under the chin
that's unthinkable.

CHURCH ALES.
An Old English Custom That Was
Suppressed In 1903

An Old English Custom That Was
Suppressed In 1903.
From almost the earliest times in
England "church ales" We're often civ.
en- in building adjoining any church,
where were hearth of good compass
and a stout oaken table upon which
the "ale' and viands were set forth.
The founder of the feast gave his best
brew and was content to receive mon
ey in exchange, the spirit animating
these quasi religious symposia being
akin to that which obtains at the mod
ern charity bazaar-that is to say, all
who attended were prepared to pay lib
orally or even dearly for their fare.
Thus the man who had lost his mon
ey and was 'down on his luck" would
give Ibid begging) ale" that, if he
was popular, might suffice to set him
on his feet again. The more romantic
bride ale' assisted penurious young
couples into housekeeping, while pro-
sale "Whitsun ale" was furnished by
churchwardens who used to raise
money for the poor, for church repairs
or other pressing cause, the malt pre-
viously presented to them and stored
in the 1.-THE barns.
Dancing was INDUCED in at such
Church ales," and if the season were
propitious an adjournment might be
made to an adjacent meadow, where
archery, quintain and other diversions
would ensue. But excuses became
more and more frequent, so that in
1903 Church ales' were summarize
suppressed.

Old Maids.

The true "old maid," like the true
poet, is born, not made, old maidish-
ness being question Of innate char
acter rather than Of incidental condi-
ton. There are old maids Of every
state and age and sex, says Ellen
Thorneycroft Fowler, creatures who
revel in fuss, and batten upon detail,
and abide in the narrowest Of narrow
ruts. Do we not all know married
women with large families who are,
nevertheless, old maids to the back
bone, just as we know adorable elderly
spinsters who have the minds Of girls
and the hearts of mothers? And do we
not also know numbers of the $50 called
stronger sex whose absorption in triaes
and avidity for gossip proclaim them
old maids Of the purest water?

Blind Boys Football

Football and many other outdoor

1t is odd to see the blind at their

maintain profound silence, for if they
made a noise the voices Of their guild

ANCIENT BABYLON.
The Way the Excise Question Was
Handled by It's SOlons.

The Way the Excise Question Was
Handled by It's So1ons.
A translation Of King Hamourabi's
code, written about $3.50 years before
Christ, gives US an insight into the life
of the great city Of Babylon at that
remote time and Of the way in which
the excise question was handled by it's
legislators
Nearly all the dealers of wines and
liquors at that time We're women, as
many of the laws translated from the
code speak only of women as sellers of
drinks. Severe measures were taken
against those who adulterated the
wines or mixed them with water, so as
to safeguard the purity of the article
for the use of the public. The barmaid
was held responsible for all disorderly
scenes or drunkenness in her premises,
and death was the penalty for those
who did not denounce all cases of
drunkenness to the police. Those WON
en- who We're employed in the temples
were forbidden to enter public hostel
rles under penalty of death, and even
drinking in private was forbidden to
them
Special police officers were detailed
for the enforcement of the excise laws
in the city of Babylon, but then as we'll
as now the officers charged with this
duty were, if we are to believe the
code in question, either negligent in
the performance of their duties or
too willing to accept brides from the
barmaids in the shape Of drinks or
even money.
Severe punishment is dealt out in the
document to the police officers who
shall accept brides in connection with
the enforcement of the excise laws of
Babylon, but it is probable that then
as well as now many Of the fair saloon
keepers found way to bride the off,
GERS and evade the laws.

CHEER UP.
There Are Millions of People Much

There Are Millions Of People Much
Worse Or Than You Are.
Cheer up. The world is taking your
photograph. Look pleasant OF course
you have your troubles, troubles you
cannot tell the policeman. A whole
lot of things bother you, of course.
Business worries or domestic sorrows,
it may be, or what not. You find life
rugged road whose stones hurt your
feet. Nevertheless cheer up.
1t may be your real disease is sell
fshness-ingrown sel6shness. Your life
Is too self centered. You imagine your
tribulations are worse than others
bear. You feel sorry for yourself-the
meanest sort Of pity. 1t is a pathetic
illusion. Rid yourself Of that and cheer
up.
What right have you to carry a pic
ture of your woebegone face and fu-
nereal ways about among your fellows,
who have troubles of their own? If
you must whine or sulk or scowl, take
car and 60 to the woods or to the
unfrequented lanes.
Cheer up. Your ills are largely i'm
aginary. If you were really on the
brink Of bankruptcy. or if there were
no thoroughfare through your sorrows,
you would clear your brows, set your
teeth and make the best Of it.
Cheer up. You are making a hypo,
thetical case out of your troubles and
suffering from a self inflicted verdict
You are borrowing trouble and paying
a high rate of interest.
Cheer up. Why, man alive, in a ten
minute walk you may see a score Of
people worse off than you. And here
you are digging your own grave and
playing pallbearer into the bargain.
Man alive, you must do your work
Smile, even though it be through your
tears, which speedily dry. And cheer
up.-Milwaukee Journal.

A LUCKY SHOT.
Exciting Moment In Il Buffalo Hunt

following story of an adventure with a
buffalo: II was in the act of descend

hunter, who was lower down the slope,
saw the dark outline Of the buffalo
standing at bay behind the screen Of
reeds. Next instant, seeing it about to
charge, he shouted, 'Daar kom hi!
(There he comes!O and fired, rather at
random, I am afraid. Then, rushing
down the path by which he had ad-
vanced, he threw himself headlong in
to the reeds on the left. This all hap
pened in few moments, but l had
sufficient time to raise my rifle to my
shoulder and fire as the enraged bull
rushed straight at me through the
reeds, with nose thrown forward and
horns back. AS fired endeavored to
Jump aside to escape the charge, but
my feet got entangled in the matted
grass, and fell on my back. luckily,
however, retaining my hold on the
stock of my rifle. My first shot seem
ed to check him for a moment, but the
next he was rushing up the slope at
me. shall never forget the look in
his fierce eyes. It was but moments
work to draw back the bolt of my
Mauser and to close it again, thus
pushing another cartridge into the
breech. I had no time to raise tie
rife to my shoulder. There was barely
time, just before be was within strik-
ing distance, to pull the trigger, with
the stock under my armpit, while
lay on my back on the top of the STOP
ing ground. Without so much as a
groan he fell in his tracks and rolled
over into the muddy water two yards
below with great splash, shot through
