And charity? What bliss indeed!
What joy for young and old:

| NO tongue has ever told!
Faith, Hope and Love, sweet virtues,

All mortal ills to fight.

Many Lawyers Make
Notes in Shorthand

Shorthand has played an important
part in many trials at the Old Bailey,
and 1t is not uncommon to see a bar
rister cross-examining with the aid
Of a sheaf of shorthand notes.
Shorthand helped Sir Richard Muir
to trap Crippen in the witness box
when he made his fatal blunder about
the pajama suit which sent him to the
scaffoId The great criminal lawyer
used shorthand in every important
trial in which he was engaged.
Sir Richard Muir, an old journalist,
was such an expert writer of short
hand that he often took professional
shorthand writer's to task in the wit
ness box and severely criticized their
outlines.
One Old Bailey barrister writes q

Official Dog-Whipper
in English Churches

The Reading dog which is In the
habit of accompanying his mistress to
church is evidently Influenced by an
cestral memories, for in the Eight
eenth and even early Nineteenth cen
turies dogs were such frequent church
goers that a special official, the dog
whipper, was appointed at many places
of worship to eject them.
Painful experience had taught those
whippers-out that haphazard grabs at
elusive animals were futile, so they
armed themselves with formidable
dog-tongs for holding them at arms
length.
There is a set of these tongs pre-
served at Bangor cathedral, where, as
BELTS such curiosity, they are kept
in a glass case. They are strongly
made of oak, and when fully extended
they are collapsible, like a movable
telephone arm-are about three feet
In length. At the business end"
there are formidable teeth, cruel teeth
to modern ideas, for getting a good
grip on struggling dogs. A Carnar-
vonshire set is dated as late as 1913.

Individual brands are being used by
