Gave IL up.

A friend Of the writer recently made application for a public appointment in a small Scottish town. and. thinking that his chances of success would be greater by little judicious canvass ing, he resolved to call upon few of the town councillors. in whose hands the appointment lay. Of the civic dig nitaries' position in private life he knew nothing. Journeying to the town in question he hired a cab at the rail way station and requested the jehu to take him to Councillor Bisset's. the treasurer. The councillor was found fin his blacksmith's shop shoeing q horse.
 I'll see somebody of more impor tance than this. anyhow" said the can didate to himself. and. turning to the driver. he said. Drive me to Councillor Maitland's office"
 The cabman thereuDOn drove him to the lOcaI joiner's shop. This was worse even than the smithy. and in despair he ejacuIated:
 Drive me to Councillor Grny's."
 ''I am Counciior Gray. sir replied the cabman-
 The answer staggered the candidate. He quietly paid his fare and disap- peared. resolved to leave his fate ia their hands without preindicing them a any way in his favor. - London Sfandar.I

When Life Was Little Valued.


 The 223 capital offenses which the old English law recognized as punish able by death did not keep down crime, and with the abolition of the death penalty for all crimes but murder crime in England. as well as every where else all over the world where the death penalty has been modified, lessened markedly, notes the Boston Traveller
 Edmond Burke said that he could in his time obtain the assent of the house of commons to any bill that car ried the death punishment.
 A mans life was not very valuable in those strenuous days. If he scratch ed his name on Westminster bridge. if he wore wig or false mustache or any other disguise on a public road, If he cut down young tree, if he stole property worth more than $1.25, if he had been transported for crime and re- turned a day ahead of the expiration of his term of punishment, if he wrote a threatening letter, if he stole hide from tanners. for any and all of these things and for 200 more than these he was hanged by the neck until he was dead.

Loading Freight by Cards.


 'I don't know whether the practice is still kept up in the far south, but remember how tickled I was at seeing the method used in loading goods into freight cars down in Mississippi some while ago." said a railroad man of St Louis.
 "A lot of strapping black fellows will be on the job under the supervision of white man. who will be issuing or. ders with great volubility. Put this aboard the king Of diamonds; take this 10 the ace of hearts; load this on the ten of spades; this to the jack of clubs, and so on. and then you'll notice each one of the long line of freight cars has tackled on il some one of the fifty-two cards composing full deck. The Sen. egambian lOafers for the most part were ignorant of letters and figures, but every man of them knew the paste board emblems which he had often handled in games of seven up.
