Swiss Naval Wars,

References to the Swiss navy are usually jocular. but it is none the less a fact that ships of war once fioated and even fought on the waters of the lake of Geneva. The great fleet was that of the Duke of Savoy. who at the beginning of the fourteenth century maintained a number of war galleys armed with rams and protected by turrets and propelled by a crew of oarsmen varying in number from for ty to seventy-two. These vessels be- sieged yersoix and even blockaded Geneva. But Geneva also had a fleet which helped in the capture of Chilon in 1536, and when the Bernese an- nexed the canton of Vaud they. too. had their fiotilIa. Their largest vessel was the Great Bear. with 6I oarsmen, s guns and 1J0 fighting men.-West- minister Gazette

A Stcry of an Old Persian Poet and al

 "To be fair" said a noted dramatic critic. "iS sometimes hard and cruel and sometimes it is rash. You know there are reprisals. The answering fair critic often takes up his pen with the shrug of Omar, the old Persian poet
 You have heard of Omar's shrug; No? We'll it was eloquent. The shah once had sent for the old poet
 "'Omar.' he said. T have written some verses. Listen. and I will read them to yOu.
 And he read the verses and in the ensuing silence looked at Omar anx- iousIy. 'Wen:' he said.
 "'IIeaven born said Omar gently. each tO his own calling. Scepter in hand. you are most wise. just and powerful. but pen in hand Omar shook his head and chuckled. Heaven born. said he. such verses would dis grace 3 nine-year-oId schoOlboy.'
 His eyes flashing with wrath. the shah shouted 10 his guards:
 To the stables with this old fool and let him be soundly logged"
 "Yet the shah. for all. respected Omar's Judgment. and when. a week later. another idea for q poem came to his mind and was feyerishly executed he sent for the fearless and fair critic again.

A Witty Irish Judqe.

Mir. Doherty. who was chief justice of the Irish court of common pleas from 1880 till his death in 1S46, was famed for his wit. The gossip in the hall of the four courts. which of course reached the bench. was that one of the judges had been somewhat excited by wine at an entertainment in Dublin castle on the previous evening. "Is it true" the chief justice was asked. that Judge - danced at the castle ball last night:" Well" replied Do herty, T certainly can say that I saw him in a reel"
 "As came along the quay" remark ed one of the officers of the court whose face was remarkably hatchet shaped, "the wind was cutting my face" Upon my honor." replied the chief justice. "I think the wind had the worst of it."-London Law Notes.

A BURGLARS STORY.
Told by an English Thief In tho Lan.
 guase of Thieves.


 Some time ago there appeared a somewhat curious book, ''The Auto biography of Thief In Thieves Lan- guage." A glossary is provided for the benefit of those whose unfortunate ignorance of the predatory classes may render such aid necessary.
 From one of the anecdotes related it appears that honor among thieves is not always to be found.
 "One day." says the writer. "I went to Croydon and touched for a red toy (gold watch) and red tackle (gold chain) with large locket. So l took the rattler home at once. When I got into Shoreditch l met one or two of the mob, who said: Hello! Been out today? Did you touch?'
 ''So I said Usher Ges). So took them in, and we all got canon. When I went to the fence he bested (cheated) me because was drunk and only gave fS los. for the lot. So the next day l went to him, and I asked him if he was not a-going to grease my duke put money into my hand.
 "So he said No Then he said, I will give you another half quid,' and said, Do anybody, but mind they don't do you
 "So thought to myself, All right, my lad, you will find me as good as my master and left him. Some time after that affair with the fence one of the mob said to me:
 "T have got place cut and dried. Will you come and do it?'
 "So I said: Yes. What tools will you want?
 And he said, We shall want some twirls and the stick Ocrowbar), and bring a Neddie life preserver with you.' And he said, Now don't stick me up (disappoinb; meet me at 6 to- night
 ''At 6 was at the meet (trysting place., and while waiting for my pal I had my daisies cleaned, and I piped the fence that bested me go along with his old woman (wife) and his two kids (children), so I thought of his own words. Do anybody, but mind they don't do you
 "He was going to the Lyceum thea ter. so when my pal came up told him all about it. So we went and screwed (broke into) his place and got thirty-two quid and toy and tackle which he had bought on the crook (dishonestly). A day or two after this I met the fence who I'd done. so he said to me, We have met at last
 "So I said, Well, what of that?'
 "So he said, What do you want to do me for?
 "So I said, You must remember you done me, and when spoke to you about it you said, Do anybody, but mind they don't do you."' That shut him up."-London Tit-Bits.
