An Inaenious pouion.

When Sir Robert Perks school days
were over he entered the office of n
firm of lawyers and worked very hard.
1t was no uncommon thing to find him
reading law at IN the morning. and
this often after he had been working
late on the previous night. As n mat
ter OF fact, he made 1t an infiexible
rule never TO be In bed OF morning
after 8. To enforce this rule he in
vented an ingenious device This CON

A Modest Judue.

A certain prominent English jurist
was transferred from the chanccry
court to the admiralty court rather un-
expectedly. While couversant with
English law to surprising degree.
this gentleman had spent little time
In marine law and was rather dubi-
GUS as to his ability to cope with the
duties of his new office His colleagues.
In recognition of the occasion, gave
him a dinner, after which he was called
upon for an address He made a long
and serious speech, which embraced
about everything from free trade to
England's foreign policy. Then. paus-
ing moment, he glanced round the
crowded room and said:
Gentlemen. in closing ! can think
OF no better words than the lines of
Tennyson:
And may there be no moaning OF the bar

Likewise when a vessel, In distress
sends out the wireless c. @. ID. call
for help, an approaching rescue ship
is direct sd by this compass directly to
the ship. One the greatest handi-
caps the~etofore has been the delay
which has occurred during the search
for the wrecked ship through repeated
wireless directions. In. the instance
Of the sinking OF the Steamship Re-
public, one of the most notable instan-
ces of the value of the wireless in
calling aid to wrecked ships. the vessel
drlfted 4 great distance after sending
out the .. @. ID. call.
This necessitated four-hour search
by the rcsculng ship after 1t had
reached the original location telegraph
ed by the Republic. Had the condition
of the Republic been more critical. the
result oC the delay might have been
disastrous. With this new compass
this difficulty would have been obvia-
ted.
a curious instance of the "round-a-
bout" channels of commerce is given

stationed i'm the Malay Peninsula.

in the crude form. A great part of
this export is in one gallon tin buckets

tents of these cans have been used.
the natives convert them into every
conceivable household utensils. The
enterior of any Malay or Chinese home

filled with American tin cans of every

"Stumped" Again.

Learning, of whatever sort; unless daily
employed, has an unfortunate tendency
TO desert the brain which Iaboriously ac-
ouired it. Senator Daniel Of Virginia
says a writer in Law Notes, is the author
of a standard work on"Negotiable lnstm-
ments." On one occasion he explained
TO a friend how he came to write it.

American SharDShOOterS.

There is story dating from Revolu-
tionary days that three members OF a
company OF colonial riflemen once fired
simultaneously at buzzard flying over
head. The bird fell, and each man de-
clared that he had killed it. Examination
proved that all three bullets had hit their
mark. There is small chance that the
story is true; nevertheless, there are ma
ny instances of excellent shooting by the
pioneer sharpshooters. Mr.. c. w. Saw
yer, in his book, "FirearmS in American
History" tells how the British were I'M
pressed with this remarkable shooting,
and the results which came from it.
Shortly after Washington took COM
mand of the army, he arranged Specta-
cular review Of his riflemen, so that the
fifteen or sixteen thousand New Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island and
Connecticut militia who had assembled to
shut the British up in, Boston might see
the novelty OF accurate shooting at what
to them was extraordinary distance, and
be encouraged and stimulated thereby.
II is probable that to the New England
erS-with the possible exception OF some
of the Green Mountain boys, and a very
few veterans of the French wars who had
served with mid-colonias-the rifle was
then unknown.
In the presence Of the army, drawn up
in parallel lines each side OF the range,
and an immense crowd Of spectators, in
which number of British spies were
welcome visitors, pole seven inches
in diameter was set up, and a marksman
stepped off two hundred and fifty PAGES.
AT the place where he stopped, COM
pany OF riilemen was lined up to show
what they could do.
The mark was about equal to that a
nan would present standing SidewiSe,
and the range about two hundred yards
No New England farmer would waste
powder and ball firing at such a mark and
distance with his muSket or fowlingpiece
only luck could account for hit. But
the riflemen, firing singly or at command,
so riddlcd the pole that il was apparent
no enemy could survive an instant.
General Howe, cooped up in Boston,
was fully as impressed as the spectators.
Later, thinking that his statement OF cas-
ualties and American craftsmanship might
need proof at home, General Howe gave
orders for the capture alive OF one OF
these expert riflemen, complete with his
"shooting-iron." Finally he goto and
sent him to England, rifle and all, and the
marksman was made TO perform there
and exhibited as curiosity.
This bit of stage-pIay had an effect
upon the British public that perhaps
Howe did not anticipate-that OF fright
ening the British public TO such an extent
that enlistments in the army, difficult to
get tbefore, absolutely stopped for a period,
and the only new recruits were those
forced into service by the German princes
of whom King George Ill hired them.

How Woman Was Made.

According to Hindoo legend, this is
the proper origin OF woman:
Twashtri, the god Vulcan OF the Hin
doc mythology, created the world, but on
his commencing to create woman he dis
covered that for man he had exhausted
all his creative materials, and that not one
solid element had been left. This, OF
course, greatly perplexed Twashtri, and
caused him to fall into profound medi-
tation. When he arose from il he pro-
ceeded as follows-he took:
The roundneSs Of the moon.
The undulating curves OF the serpent.
The graceful twist Of the creeping plant.
The light Shivering of the grass blade
and the SlenderneSs OF the willow.
The velvety softness Of the flower.
The lightneSS OF the feather.
The gentle gaze Of the doe.
The frolicsomeness Of the dancing SUM-
beam.
The tears Of the cloud.
The Inconsistency OF the wind.
The timidity OF the hare.
The vanity of the peacock.
The hardness of the diamond
The cruelty of the tiger.
The heat OF the fire.
The chill OF the snow.
The cackling Of the parrot.
The cooling Of the turtle dove.
All these he mixed together and formed
woman.
And he presented her to man.
