Made the JUDGE Perspire.

Sir John Charles Day, the English
Judge who earned the title Of the
s'hooligan's terror" died at the age Of
eighty-two. In the nineteen years Sir
John was judge of the high court
from 1882 to 1901-he was noted for
his gift of solemn humor and for his
drastic fogging sentences. In fourteen
years he sentenced 1877 criminals to
1896 strokes of the cat. Once he said
to gang of Liverpool rufians: 81 am
not going to give you men long terms
of Imprisonment but when you go in
you get twenty lashes of the cat; when
you have been in nine months You get
twenty lashes of the cat; before you
come out you get twenty lashes of the
cat And then you can show what you
have got to your friends" He was per-
haps the only English judge who ever
did "hard labor" While on visit to
prison he tried the treadmill, but when
he asked to be set free the guard pre-
tended not to hear his request. The
judge was perspiring freely by the
time he was permitted to abandon his
experiment.

One evening a solid looking citizen,

The Bite of a Doc.

81 want to say few words about
hydrophobia, said physician. "When
an animal bites through clothing there
is little or no danger of infection. The
virus is on the teeth of the animal and
when the person bitten has received
the wound through layer of clothing
there is little danger.
1.-THE virus on the teeth is left in the
clothing and is not communicated to
the person bitten. Rabid dogs or other
animals are not like reptiles. They
have no hollow teeth through which
poison may be communicated. 1t must
be introduced directly into the system
of the victim.
Therefore, when supposedly rabid
dog bites person, if the bite is not on
an exposed part of the body he should
have no fear" w ashington Post.

Bees and Their Baskets.

Every bee carries his market basket
around his hind legs. Any one ex-
aiming the body of bee through a
microscope will observe that on the
hind legs of the creature there is a
fringe of stiff hairs on the surface, the
hairs approaching each other at the
tips, so as to form a sort of cage. This
is the bees basket, and into it, after
a successful journey, he will cram
enough pollen to last him for two or
three days.

RELIC OF IvANHoE.
Trout de Boeuf's Stronghold the Ancient
Manor House of Todwick.

Lovers of "Ivanhoe' will regret to
learn that the moat which once defend
ar Torquilstone castle has been drained.
So far as situation and location are con
cerned the site of Front de Boeuf's
stronghold, the siege of which is so
thrillingly described by Scott, is identical
with that of Todwick manor house, a
very ancient mansion not far from Tod
wick church and situated about half a
nile distant from where till a few years
ago stood the decayed trunk of the fam
ous trysting tree in Harthill walk.
A young oak, grown from a queen
oak" acorn in Sherwood forest, was
planted by the Duke of Leeds on the
spot where the old trysting tree stood,
and a walk straight across country brings
pne to the manor house The moat was
fairly wide and deep, and in digging up
part of the ground traces of the foundi-
ton of previous building were found.
Not far removed from the manor house
there is still to be seen the remains of
the small religious house, now converted
into a cottage, to which Iyanhoe was
removed upon his rescue from the burn
ing castle by the Black Knight.--Dundee
