Lloyd,. Historic He'll.

The bell used to insure silence at Lloyd's, in London, when the arrival of an overdue vessel is announced to the anxious underwriters is of naval origin. 1t belonged to the Lutine, which was wrecked near the Zuyder Zee toward the end of the eighteenth century, when England was at war with Holland. As it was customary in those days to send bullion and specie by men-of- war, the Lutine carried valuable consignment of specie, and the underwriters at Lloyd's were able to arrange with the Dutch government to salve the cargo and recoup themselves for their loss on insurance. Over f50,OOO was recover ed, and among other relics brought to shore was the Lutine's bell, to ring out good cheer for anxious underwriters who hear the safe arrival proclaimed by Lloyd's crier as silence follows the ringing of the bell.

4 Catch Question.

Of Bishop Short, who held the see of St. Asaph. many curious stories are told. Occasionally he put questions to candidates for ordination that appar- netly had no connection with the dis charge of their parochial duties. They tested probably their wit or tact, two necessary qualifications to public men, but nothing more. One such question proposed by the bishop was the fol lowing: (Which has the greatest num- Der of legs, cat or no cat?"
 As might be expected. this created a litter. but the bishop would not take a laugh as the answer. and consequently he repeated the question and desired some one to solve the problem. At last one of the candidates, smiling, said. "I should think, my lord, a cat"
 ''No." retorted the bishop; "there you are wrong. for cat has four legs. and no cat has fve."-London Telegraph.
