he was in foreign parts, and at his
request baptism was delayed till he
could return to stand sponsor for
his child.
He did not return till the boy

son the ceremony took place in the

A German professor who is extreme

In his studies was alone with the chill
dren one evening. They raced from
room to room until their father could
stand the noise no longer. and, losing
all patience, he rushed from his study
and ordered all of them to go to bed
at once. 1t was only twilight, and
they demonstrated, but to no avail.
All but one finally went upstairs Sob
bling. The exception was a little girl,
who positively refused to bulge an
inch The professor at last admins
tered slight corporal punishment and
she dolefully followed her companions.
Soon afterward his wife broke in on the
professors now undisturbed studies,
and her first question was, Where are
the children?"
He was forced to tell Of their de-
pravity, and she ran upstairs.
Presently she returned in great ex-
element and cried out to her husband:

wrong when you told me you had to
whip one of the children for disobedi-
ence. Now, do you know what you

a Point of Interest.

In a certain county of Arkansas
a man named Walters was put on
trial for stealing a watch. The evi-
dence had been very conflicting, and
as the jury retired the judge re-
marked suavely that if he could af-
ford any assistance in the way Of
smoothing out possible difficulties
he should be most happy to do so.
Eleven of the jurors had filed out of
the box, but the twelfth remained,
and there was on his countenance
an expression indicating great per
plexity.
'1s there any question you'd like
to ask me before you retire ?" asked
his honor, observing the jurors hes
itancy.
The mans face frightened. Eyes,
your honor" he replied eagerly. 'Pd
like to know, your honor, whether
the prisoner really stole the watch. .

SAFEGUARDING the Prisoners.

After the battle of Families had
been won by the great Duke of
Marlborough, Lord John Hay, who
commanded a regiment of Scotch
dragons when the regiment of
foot called the kings, consisting
of l 200 men, submitted to him and
surrendered their arms and colors,
ordered, to prevent their running
away and the necessity of setting a
strong guard over them, that every
man should cut a piece out of the
waistband of his breeches, which
obliged them to hold them up with
one hand, and in that posture they
marched with a guard of only twen-
ty-fve dragons and a sergeant.
Charles XII. did something like this
by the Muscovites after the battle
of Narva.
