The Chinese Sun and Moon.

In China the sun and moon are
brother and sister. The moon is the
elder brother, who looks after his
rather silly sister, the sun. One day
in China, so the legend runs, the
sun asked the moon if she couldn't
go out at night. The moon answer
ed very sternly: 'No. You are a
young lady, and it would be i'm
proper for you to 90 out after
dark"
Then the sun said, 'But the peo-
pie keep looking at me when / 90
out in the daytime"
So the moon told her to take the
golden needles that she wore in her
hair and stick them into the eyes OF
people when they stared at her.
This is the reason why no one can
look at the sun without pain.

LEGAL VERBIAGE.
A Kick From Layman Against lts
 Solemn Senselesaness.

A Kick From Layman Against It's
 Solemn SenseIessness.
 As fond as I am of reading,1 said a merchant, T never peruse legal doc ument without feeling irritable over my inability to grasp the real meaning of such paper at glance. Like many other persons not engaged ih the legal profession, sometimes have to read contracts and other agreements drawn up by lawyers, and l often won- der why in this age of common sense the 'whereases,' 'aforesaids' and par ties of the first part are not relegated to oblivion. The technical verbiage employed is relic of the age when that which was mysterious and could not be understood was esteemed to be beyond the comprehension of the com mon herd. The use of uncommon Eng fish in purely business circles would not be endured. Why, then, should the transfer of piece of property be a process so labyrinthian and so mys- terious that man of sound sense cannot fathom 1t? It has been esti. mated that the clipping of the letter u from such wordAas humour, labour and the like has added to the world each year what is equivalent to the productive capacity of 500 ablebodied men. What would we not gain if from every legal paper and from every legal suit there should be removed that vast mass of superhuity, that an- tique verbiage, that bulk of repetition and solemn senselessness that now in- wraps them as the shell inwraps the clam?'-Chicago Inter Ocean.

A PRECIOUS EARL.

Alexander of Buehan, Known as the ' "Wolf of Badenoeh.'
 During the restoration of Dunkeld cathedral the workmen unearthed the remains of Bishop Sinclair, one of those who assisted in the building of the cathedral, and of the notorious Alexander, earl of Buchan, whose fe- rocity won for him the significant title of the wolf of Badenoch." A memorial marks the spot where the wolf was buried, and 1t has often been subject of remark by visitors that a man who plundered churches and in various ways showed his hatred of the clergy should have been laid to rest side by side with bishops and other high ecclesiastics.
 Alexander, earl of Buchan. was a younger son of Robert II. of Scotland. During the closing years of the lat ter's reign the chief powers in the state were delegated to his sons, the earls of Fife and Buchan. and after the accession of Robert III, an amia- ble but weak prince. this unfortu- nate delegation was allowed to be con. tinued. The Earl of Buchan ruled over the northern part of Scotland with an authority little less than re- gal. He has been described as scarce ly better than savage-cruel. fero- cious and relentless. Among his ex- ploits was the destruction of the mag nifcent cathedral of Elgin. He car- ried off the chalices and vestments, polluted the shrines with blood and finally set fire to the noble edifice. the houses of the canons and the town itself. He also laid waste large part of the country.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Anty .DrudSe's Vision.

Anty Drudge had finished her weekly wash before noon and she sat in her comfortable rocking chair and dozed.
 And in dream she saw an unhappy woman bound with fetters her right arm chained to washboler her left arm to a washboard. e
 And the sun was setting and it was growing dark.
 And she dreamed that she touched the shackles on each wrist of the woman with bar of FesNaptha soap And they fell off, and the woman arose glad and free free from washday drudgery for evermore. And Anty dreamed was true.
