How Moose Jaw Got lite Nsms.

Moose Jaw Is a strange name for a
city, and 1t may be of interest to kno
how such a name was given. Some
fifty years ago. so the story goes, a
pioneer with his team Of lei and
''prairie schooner while passing along
the banks of the river, was obliged to
camp at this point, in Saskatchewan.
on account of an accident to his cart
as a spoke had fallen out during the
day, and the wheel was falling apart.
He looked around for something to in
sert for a temporary brace for the
wheel, while his wife busted herself
with the evening meal. The pioneers
child, while romping around, found
the jawbone Of a moose. which she
held up to her father. who by this
time almost despaired of finding some
thing with which to mend his wagon.
and was delighted to find that the jaw
bone exactly fitted the place of the
missing spoke. The Indians thereafter
named this part of the river The
Place Where the White Man Found the
Moose Jaw" This accounts for the
towns un%forgettable name.-London

Not For Fashions Sake.

The criminal law of England was for
merly marked by discriminating Sc
verify. Theft of an article valued above
10 shillings was punished with death
In writing about Sweet Hampstead
and Its Associations" Mrs. White re-
cords a pleasant thing Of Lord Mans
field. who as a rule leaned to the side
of mercy. 1t was Lord Mansfield who
directed a jury to find a stolen trinket
less In value than 10 shillings in order
that the thief might escape capital pun
ishment. To this the jeweler who pros
ecuted demurred. asserting that the
fashion of the thing had cost him twice
that money.
Gentlemen" replied the Judge. with
grave solemnity. I'VE ourselves stand
in need Of mercy. Let us not hang n

An Extensive Shave.

When Salmon P. Chase was a school
boy at Worthington, o., he was m day
left at home with orders to kill and
dress a pig while Bishop Chase and
most Of the older members of the fam
lily were gone. In telling Of this expert
ence be wrote In an old letter:
81 had no trouble in catching and
slaughtering a fat young porker. had
the tub of water all ready for p~lunging
him in, preparatory to taking off his
bristles. Unfortunately, however, the
water was too hot, or perhaps when |
soused the pig l kept him in too long.
At any rate, when | undertook to re-
move the bristles 1 couldn't start one
of them. They were set! But that pig
had to be dressed. I bethought me of
my cousins raZor-a new one, just pur-
chased by that spruce young clergy
man. No sooner said than done! | got
the razor and shaved the pig from tail
to snout."
This is undoubtedly n Of the most
extensive shaves on record.
