RAISING a False Issue.

4 story well known to lawyers OF the
last generation is about the umbrella
case" A man was charged with steal
ing an umbrella, and a number Of wit
nesses went into the box to testify to
the offense. The counsel for the de-
PENDANT noted that each witness car
ried an umbrella the time Of year was
midsummer. which explains the neces-
sity for these impediments, As a mat
ter Of fact, the prisoner had no defense
to make. The barrister. thrown on his
wits, exclaimed: "Gentlemen of the
jury. did you not notice that each OF
the witnesses carried an umbrella into
the box? Why is this. gentlemen? 1t
is done, in order to infect your minds
with the idea of an umbrella, to preju-
dice the prisoner in your eyes, to raise
a false issue and I appeal to you to
signify your detestation Of this con-
certed action by bringing in a verdict
Of not guilty." The judge, who i'm
agined that little attention would be
paid to such a plea. took little time and
less pains 70 sum up the case. The
jury nevertheless brought in a verdict
in accordance with the resourceful bar
rister's wishes.-London News.

Hot Air.

The sirocco blows hot from the high
lands of north Africa and falls on the
Mediterranean as far as Malta. The
salano jumps like windy f1reball
from the heat of the Sahara desert
and lands fatfooted in Spain. The
harmattan blows hot Sahara dust far
into the Atlantic and gives nosebleed
and makes skin and lips parch and
crack, while furniture and ship tim.
bers groan and crack and scream in
an agony Of droughty despair. The
khasmin blows Sahara's ancient dust
into Egyptian eyes every fifty days.
The pamperos periodically blow down
into Buenos Aires out Of the unex.
plored desert highlands of Brazil, and
the blowing causes suicides and muir.

Tho BuIldou,

The bulldog. unlike the majority OF
dogs, very seldom barks. In fact, ow.
ing to the construction of his throat
his attempts at barking are more like
a burlesque of the real thing. he
wades into a fight without any vocal
warning, and the only sound he emits
is his heavy breathing. His courage
Is astonishing. and the largeness of his
opponent never acts as a deterrent
when hostilities are imminent. Still, as
be is not quarrelsome dog, he very
rarely INDUCES in street brawls. and
as he is exceedingly good natured, it
takes a lot to rouse him.
The modern bulldog is undoubtedly
a different looking animal from his bull
fighting ancestors. The most conspicu
GUS improvements" introduced by the
present day fancy" are largeness Of
