Strictly Official.

This amusing anecdote is told in the volume of "Recollections" recently pub lished by the Hon. John Mildred Creed. member of the legislative council of New South Wales and a well known Sydney doctor. On one occasion Mir. Creed had to carry on the work of magistrate for six months. During this time a great flood occurred, and the lookup was surrounded by water. q strong current passing through the cells. The sergeant in charge was so strictly official that he would take no action on his own responsibility. He therefore telegraphed to his superior officer: "F'lOod three feet deep sur rounding and running through lookup. Have four prisoners on tables in their cells. Water rising. Shall take them out or let them drown?" He at once received the necessary authority, acted on it promptly, and the prisoners were saved.

Service In the Supreme Court.

Of the original supreme court Cush- ing served the longest, or twenty-one years. But soon afterward very long terms became the rule.
 Bushrod Washington was on the bench thirty-one years, John Marshall thirty-four. William Johnson thirty one. Joseph Story thirty four, John Mclean thirty-two, Joseph Wayne thir- ty-two and Roger B. Fancy twenty eight. In recent times S. J. Field and J. M Harlan outlasted all others, each with thirty-four years.
 No supreme court justice has ever reached thirty-fve years, although four have passed thirty-four years.
 One of the greatest judges was also the youngest. Joseph Story was only thirty-two years wben he went upon the bench. Washington, who had stud jed law in James Wilson's office in Philadelphia, at the request of his inl- mortal Uncle George, was but thirty six when he became a supreme court justice.-Philadelph Ledger.

PEACE DEBATE ON IN
 HOUSE OF COMMONS
PaCifiStS Gall on ASquith to
 Lay Definite Terms.

Philip Snowden, Socialist, and Charles Philips Trevelyan. a pacifist leader, opened a debate in the house of commons on peace terms.
 MT. Snowden declared that there was no ground for hope of a decisive and crushing victory for either side The people of England, he said, had a right to demand that the government state in more definite and precise language the terms on which they were willing to consider peace.
 MT. Treyelyan said that both the German and British governments de sired peace, but that neither would take the initiative. He denied that over lures on Englands part would really be regarded as a sign of weariness or proof of failure.
 we have no hope of peace," he said "as long as Germany believes that we are out on policy of conquest and az gression."
 Premier Asquith. replying to the peace advocates, said:
 "The German chancellor's statement lHdI OeIndny IS HoL tHe eueuy or Cne small nations was one of colossal and shameless audacity. I would be more disposed to attach importance 10 the imaginary inclination of the German chancellor in the direction of peace if it were put forward in language sus- tained by arguments not so transpar ently hypocritical."
 A more real evidence of the desire for peace, the premier said. was the at titude of the German Socialist party. Until the achievement of the conditions of peace laid down in his GuildhaI II speech were within sight. Mr. Asquith added, neither Great Britain nor her allies would abate the prosecution Of the war.

City of Many Names.

No capital city has changed its name so often as Constantinople, which was originally known as Lygos. In B. C. 65S this name was discarded for that of Byzantium, which remained in use until the capture of the city by Septi- mus Severus, who rechristened it Roma Nova. On making it his capital Constantine the Great endowed it with his own name. and it is still known as Constantinople among western nations. This name, however, is ignored by the Turks, who since they obtained pos session of Constantinople have prefer red to call it Stamboul
