A prominent Brooklyn lawyer tells
me that perjury is one of the very

in New York.

any idea of the sanctity of an oath or
any fear of punishment for swearing

affidavits. Not long ago a young bust
ness man, son of a very worthy father,

something under $1,000. Just before

to the court my client happened to
speak, in the most incidental way, of

whatever. I don't want the old folks
to know just yet that am married.
Now, there was a young man of
good family, fine education and excel

of less than $1,000, stood ready to per-
jure himself in the most matter-of-

was good deal of an old fogy, with
strange back-number notions, when
insisted that he must either make a
new and truthful affidavit or drop the
case altogether" Brooklyn Eagle.

Reward of Politeness.

The Autc"rat of the breakfast Ia
BILE says that many persons appear to
think that manners mean continual
self-sacrifice; that the well hammered
individual is a pleasant person who
is willing to live solely for the benefit
of others, to his own obliteration. On
the contrary, quite, Lord Chesterfield
wrote for a past generation, yet the
truth of what he said of politeness is
the same always. There is really
nothing so inexpensive or that reaps
such a reward. Good manners mean
an appeal to all you meet for their
better consideration. 1t is generally
bestowed literally"
