A Street Scene. Bombay.

A man clad only in a yellow scarf
and' turban opens mouth stained
with the vivid vermilion of betel juice
to show that the mango seed just
swallowed has already become small
tree with green leaves pushing toward
the light. A woman appears next
upon the scene, bringing a crying baby
in a closed hamper of bamboo A
dozen swords are instantly thrust
through the interstices amid the ear
piercing yells Of the supposed victim,
but as soon as the formidable blades
are withdrawn the nine lived infant
tumbles out of the basket and Salaams
to the assembled audience, holding out
her tiny brown hand for the we'll de-
served backsheesh.
AS the fun wakes fast and furious
sundry quarrels and recriminations be-

symbolized by red turban and blue
tunic, soon dispense the performers,

forced departure with unlimited kicks
and thumps, submissively received

A Whin In the PuInit.

A writer in an English review tells
a Renaissance of a brother of a ia
nous dean of Christchurch. The
brother was rector of q small parish.
His eccentricity was somewhat remark
able. He was a famous whip and
drove a splendid team, Of which he
was very proud. He was fond of
showing off how he could flick a fly
from either of his leaders, ears with
out touching the horse. This accom-
plishment he transferred to a rather
unexpected locality, for he always car
ried his whip up into the pulpit with
Der of his congregation whom he de-
tected nodding.

Peter the Great and Lawyers.

In Russia during the reign of Peter
the Great private litigants might have
their suits prosecuted free Of cost by
lawyers paid by the state. The emper-
or, discovering that his subjects were
being imposed upon by their legal
agents, who contrived to delay trials
until they had sucked their clients dry,
enacted that sufficient solicitors and
attorneys should be employed at hand
some yearly salaries to officiate for
the public in every matter of law. He
ordered further that these men should
insert in register written up daily
the dates Of applications to them and
should proceed with the suits in the
order in which they were received
without respect of persons. If they
failed to do so, if they accepted any
bride Or fee or if they were dilatory
these lawyers were to be knouted and
sent to Siberia.
