When Baron Bramwell was once sit
ting on the crown side on the south
Wales circuit counsel for the defense
in a certain case asked leave to adj
dress the jury in Welsh. The case be-
ing simple one, permission was given
without demur. He said but very few
words. The baron also did not think
much comment was necessary, but was
somewhat startled by prompt verdict
of acquittal.
what was it, he afterward in
quired, "that Mr.. L. said to the jury?"
"Oh, he just said: This case, gentle
men, lies in a nutshell. You see your
selves exactly how it stands. The
judge is an Englishman. the prosecut-
ing counsel is an Englishman, the COM
plainant is an Englishman, but you are
Welsh, and 1 am Welsh, and the pris-
oner is Welsh. Need I say more?
leave it all to you"
It is scarcely necessary to mention,
says the writer Of ''Some Legal Remi-
niscences," that Baron Bramwell did
not allow the experiment to be repeat
ed of addressing the jury in language
which he did not understand.

Three R's-Repairing Rips and Rents.

Xhree A's-Nepa1r1ng KIDS and Rents
IL some American mothers heard that
their young Jimmies or Waldos or
Clarences had to perform the services
in their private schools that English
boys have to do in similar institutions
there would be pity and Indignation
pity for the youths and Indignation at
the hard hearted master But the GUS

Britishers. At school in Brighton
where boys receive the first half decade

are taught to sew on their buttons and
darn their hose and rents in their un-

are sent to the tailor Any Sinking Of
the tasks brings the same punishment
that i'll prepared lessons would. On
certain days the small boys are taught
the rudiments of cooking and laying a

wise one.-New York Press.

An Example of Daring.

During the hottest fighting in the
Shipka pass the leading battalion Of
the Russian General Dragomiroff's di-
vision recoiled before hailstorm OF
Turkish bullets. The general was q
very stout person and had the ap-
pearance of a peaceful German pro-
fessor But when he saw his men re-
coil he dismounted and walked slow
ly to and fro along ridge swept by
the enemy's bullets. He was hun
dred yards in advance Of the men, &C.
cupying the position they had abandon
ed. After staying there for awhile
without being touched he shouted back
to the battalion: what are you doing,
you geese? Did you think there was

men responded with a roar of cheers,

Name Condolences.

An English paper is collecting name
condolences. At Cambridge universe
ty are two Japanese students, II. Soda

Their names are side by side on the
residence list. J. Hunter reports that
he was once asked to fill vacant vii
lage pulpit. The regular preacher bore
the name Of Fox. In Leeds Miss Orange
married Mr.. Peel. There is fear that
an offspring Of this happy union will
hyphenate the two surnames. Another
matrimonial case is quoted by CORE

John Epps. NJ. D." On page 6O5 the
doctor notes: FEB. II. This morning

Starting Tight Screws.

To start a tight screw press the
screwdriver firmly in place with one
hand, but do not turn it. Then take
hold of it sideways with fiat jawed
pliers as close to the head of the screw
as possible and turn it with them. A
hand wise is better than pliers. Leave
just enough Of the tip of the screw
driver outside the wise to fill the slot of
the screw, but no more. This reduces
the danger of breaking or bending a
badly tempered screwdriver to mini
mum.-Scientific American

Tea In All Forms.

Picked tea is a Burmese delicacy,"
said the sailor. "a Burmese girl once
gave me some. 1t wasn't bad; sweetish
and spiced; a cross between picked
and preserved.
"Tea amt only drunk. Down Siam
way they chew it. 1t is stuck together
with melted sugar into little cakes, and
every Siamese carries one of those
cakes in his pocket. A plug of tea; you
might say plug O. chewin' tea.
Some folks smoke it. An English
girl once gave me a cigarette I fin
ished it, But such headache!

Risk Versus Security.

There never was a harder master
than the uncertain. Nothing venture
nothing win" is a true proverb, and
sometimes it is good guiding princi-
pie. If single question and not a gen
eral principle were under discussion
we might say that the conditions war
rant venture. AS rule we are pro-
foundry convinced that sure dollar is
better than a possible $40; that COM
fort is always preferable to wealth in
a lottery The one thing to be avoided
above all others is instability of income.
This is not to suggest that under all
conditions a man should prefer the set
tied and neutrality-suspicious..

Laughed First.

"What is the matter, darling? asked
the concerned mother when her small
son came to her in tears.
"Well, you see, mummy, daddy was
hanging q picture, and he dropped it,

But that is nothing to cry about" "

Christmas Presents.

The giving of presents on Christmas
d@y undoubtedly owes it's origin to a
general idea to carry into practice the
biblical mandate "Peace on earth;
good will to men," At first the great

and the season was marked by uni
versal charity. By degrees the practice

promise fortune to all who invested.
She disappeared suddenly after having
