The Wisdom of Lawyers.

From the Green Bag
1t appears that judges and lawyers
have contributed liberal share to the
stock of popular sayings.

tons have no souls and that "a man
house is his castle.
The expression AN accident of an ac-
cident'' is borrowed from Lord Thurlow.

acknowledged translation from the jurist
Beccaria.

who suggests that by throwing "A straw

Macintosh first used the phrase "a
wise and mastery inactivity" The

by Lord Brougham.
. In the familiar phrase "a delusion. a
mockery and a snare" there is certain
biblical ring, which has sometimes led to
its being quoted as from one or other of
the Hebrew prophets. The words are, in
fact an extract from the Judgment OF
Lord Denman at the trial of O'Conneli.

SWANS SAVED THEIR YOUNG.
Moved Cygnets to Another Pond t.
Escape Voracious Pike.

From Country Life.
That swans possess some power OF
easoning seems to be proved by the
following story, which is told by ii. G.
Hutchinson:
He says: ..Oh a certain pond a pair of
these birds had for two successive years
Matched out a pair of cygncts, only to
find the young, fluffy things devoured
long before they came to the properly
feathered age by one or other of the large
pike which lived in the pond. This last
spring the swans made their nests In the
usual place and Matched out their cygnets
as before but as soon as the cygnets
were Matched disappeared from the pond
altogether, parents, babies and all.
There is another pond, or lake, at a
distance of a mile and half or SO from
the first, and on this lake the swans
were found to be with their young ones.
The puzzle was to know how they had got
there. Their wings were SO pnioned that
they could not fly, and there were some
very stiff and close fences between the
one pond and the other
subsequently a countryman said that
he had seen one of them walking over
the fields that lie between the ponds. He
had noticed nothing more than the old
swan walking. but there is little doubt
that had he been nearer or looked closer
he would have seen that 1t was carrying
cygnet. or the pair of them, on its
back. Almost certainly the birds had

Possibilities of Electricity.
From the Century.

from the century.
For home use. electricity is still in most
localities comparatively expensive. but it
will be less SO when it comes into more
general use. If the electric companies
would follow the example of the gas COM
panies In renting cooking ranges 1t would
be great stride forward. liz England
some of the companies charge special
low rate for electric cooking, because it
is done mostly in the daytime, when there
is little demand for the current for light
ing purposes. But the most radical way
to reduce the cost will be to combine the
electric range with the fireless cooker.
Thousands of families that could not
pay for an electric current five or six
hours a day could easily afford one for
the fifteen minutes necessary for heating
the food before it is put into the box, be-
sides the few minutes needed for crisping
roasts, browning coffee or toasting bread.
1t is quite likely that the electric range
can be so constructed in part that no sep
arate cooking box will be needed. and
then the culinary millennium!

Even in this rich country. only one
