attempt to impose upon foreign ere

Of Gaul, whose taste for joking led him
to try to bamboozle a cabby into at
tempting it with him. He demanded
in exceedingly broken English to be
driven to certain place, the fare to
which was exactly n shilling. 1t may
be remarked that he really could speak
English as we'll us lie could his moth

Five shillings," promptly responded
the cabby.

half crowns and laying them across his

pointing to the coins.

A Hot Knife.

"a knife that cuts butter when it
is hot (and under no other circum-
stances) we sometimes meet with, and
the reason of this is easily explained.
Heat expands metal and in proportion
to the amount Of metal which is heat
ed. There is more metal in the breadth
of blade than in its thickness, and
the former therefore Is expanded i'm
menSely more than the latter. In other
words, the wedgelike shape is length
ened, and the tool becomes sharp"

hold two knights for the shire under
his jurisdiction two citizens for each
city within its limits and two bur
gesses for each borough The parlia-

first in which the people, as dis

aristocracy, had ever participated II
