look the Hint.

a story is told of certain English
bishop we'll known for his verbosIty
who rose to address the house OF lords
on very important occasion. Il will
divide my speech under twelve heads"
he said, to the discomfort OF his audi
ence.
The Marquis of Salisbury begged to
be allowed to interpose with little
anccdOte. "a friend OF mine was re-
turning home late one night" he said,
when opposite st. Paul's he saw an
intoxicated man trying to ascertain the
time on the big clock there Just then
IL began to strike and slowly tolLed out
IL. The man listened, looked hard at
the clock and said: 'Confound you!
Why couldn't you have said that all
at oncep"
The bishop heartily joined in the
laughter which followed and took the
hint contained in the story.

An Instrument of rnrtnr.

In the Isle Of Man the wedding ring
was formerly used as an instrument
or torture. Mr.. Cyril Davenport in
his book on jewelry remarks that
there once existed a custom in that
island according to which an un.
married girl who had been offended
by man could bring him to trial. and
III he were found guilty she would be
presented with sword. a rope and a
ring. With the sword she might cut
Off his head. with the rope she might
hang him, or with the ring she might
marry him. 1t is said that the latter
punishment was that invariably In
ficted. "-London Standard
