The Round Robin.

The round robin" had it's origin sew
eral centuries ago in France.
1t was used there by officers of the
army as method of expressing their
dissatisfaction with the course Of the
king or his ministers. By signing in
circular form the leaders of the move
ment could not be ascertained and
singled out for punishment.
The first instance on record of the
use of this form of protest in the navy
occurred in 1925. at the instigation of
the Duke of Buckingham, the kings
favorite, an English feet, under Adj
mfral Bennington, was dispatched to
Rochelle to assist in the coercion of the
Protestant subjects of Louis XIII. of
France. But the English tars, in COM
mon with their fellow countrymen
looked with favor upon the. resistance
of their coreligionists against the pros
elyting zeal of the French king, and
they signed a '.round robin express
ing their determination not to fire a
shot against them, and without wait
Ing for reply they weighed anchor
and brought their ships back to Eng
land. The admiral, however, received
peremptory order to return to
Dieppe, whereupon the whole of the

Coditation.


The gentlemen of the bar, who
not infrequently have to take re-
Dukes from the bench, greatly enjoy
a chance to make a legitimate retort
against the court. The story is told
that a certain judge who during the
plea of rather prosy lawyer could
not refrain from gently nodding his
head in sleep was caught at this by
the lawyer, who looked significantly
at him.
"Perhaps,'' said the judge testify
and overwhelmingly, ''the counsel
thinks the court was asleep, but he
may be assured that the court was
merely cogitating."
The lawyer talked on. Presently
the judge, again overcome by his
somnolency, nodded off and aroused
himself with a little sudden snort
ing snore.
eff it please your honor" said
the lawyer, 81 will suspend my plea
until the court shall have ceased to
cogitate audibly."
"You may go on" said the judge,
and he did not fall asleep again.

WAYS OF SAVING WASTE.
Swimming River For living-Fisher-
men Who Net Corks.

Swimming river for a living may
be said to be one of the most strik-
ing examples Of the utilization Of
waste. This is done in Paris. There
is one individual at least in the
French capital who makes it his
daily business to skim the Seine.
He is out at early morning in an
old flat bottomed boat, armed with
skimming pan. With this he
skins off the surface of the river
the grease which collects there dur
ing the night and which he disposes
Of to soap factory. Generally he
makes quarter. or so by his morn
ing's work, which enables him to
live.
In Paris, says the Chicago Trib-
une, also there are a number of peo-
pie who make a living out of waste
corks, which they fish from the
Seine. They collect on the river
bank at daybreak, each with short
pole, at the end of which is small
net. They set to work to gather in
the floating corks, subsequently sell
inc them to the cork merchants in
the neighborhood.
There are about a score or so Of
these cork fishermen, who have
formed themselves into a sort of
craft and who guard their interests
jealousy. If they catch sight of a
stranger netting corks they fall on
him in a body. Only recently the
police rescued one of these novices
barely in time to save his life.
The sweepings of floor might
well be considered as SO much waste.
Yet through a fire in London the
other day, which consumed a guam
titv of sweepings stored in the base
ment, certain firm lost several
thousand dollars. The heap Of dust
and rubbish contained silver filings,
which it was intended to extract
later on.
This is done regularly at all
works where silver or gold is used.
In gold refners' premises even the
SCOT in the chimneys is not allowed
to be treated as waste. 1t is found
to contain minute particles of the
precious metal, which are far too
valuable to be lost.
In places where sheep are bred
extensively one frequently sees lit
tie bits of wool adhering to briers
and hedges. These are no longer
regarded as waste. From such wool
rubbish, whether coming from sheep
or goats, valuable oil is now ex-
| tracted.

Effect of Inaoination.

When Sir Joseph Fayrer was with
his ship in the Bahamas he landed on
an island. left the boat on shore and
went inland exploring. Presently, to
his dismay, he saw the boat drifting
out to sea. He rushed down to the
waters edge. Invested himself of all
but some cotton underclothing and
plunged in AS he swan something
appeared to seize his leg, and he re-
membered in an instant that the sea
swarmed with sharks. He nearly
sunk with horror, fully persuaded that
his leg was gone. But, mastering his
fear, he swan on to the boat. Then
he found that his alarm had been
caused by tape with which his under
clothing was tied below the knee. 1t
had come unfastened, and the sup
posed shark bite was only a wet tape
winding and unwinding about his leg.

"And to most others. For some rea-

Now, just at present there is heavy
demand for money on short time loans.
The high rates of interest have led both

is this: Next week the interest accrues.

Disraeli's absorption in politics,

of literature, is, of course, familiar
to the most superficial student of
his singular career. His profound

by Lady Dorothy Nevill in her
"reminiscences" strikes those who
knew him as absolutely true. Dis

inner life, of which glimpses may
