The Quest Of Truth.

IL is a good deal easier to poke fnp
at history than to write history merit
ing credence. Mr.. Bodley when writ
ing his France" experienced the force
Of this in curious way. He shut
himself up in France for years to get
the atmosphere and the knowledge
necessary for his work. One OF his
trials arose over some question Of elect.
oral Jurisprudence. 1t was not OF 10
ternatiOnal Importance, but still inter
esting to students Of comparative pro
cedure. Therefore he wrote to dep
uty who Is a parliamentary expert TO
clear up the obscurity In which the
text books involve the point and iDcor-
porated his reply In the text Of the
book. Later, being invited by an ex-
perienced mayor to be present al
poll over which he presided, Mr.. Bod
ley put the question to him and ro-
ceived n quite different reply. Finally
the author referred the point TO a
senator Of indisputable authority, who
showed that the deputy and the mayor
were both wrong.-St. James Gazette.

Woman's Wit.

An emperor Of Germany besiege3 n
city which belonged to one Of his rebel
lious noblemen. After the siege bad
lasted for long time the emperor de-
termined to take it by storm aud to de-
stroy all 1t contained by fire, and sword.
He did not, however wish TO lnjure
the defcnseless women; therefore, no
sent n proclamation into the town, say
ing that all the women might leave
the place unhurt and carry with them
whatever they held most precious. Tho
noblemans wife instantly decided to
take her husband, and the other w0
men followed her example. They soon
issued from the city gate in long pro
ceSsion, each one with her husband on
her shoulders. The emperor was SO
much struck with the noble conduct of
the women that he spared ali; even the
city itself was left untouched.
