TOO OLD AND TOO FAT.  Those who believe that a bunt actions may be influenced by the name he bears will find comfort in a grisi! story which comes from Rome. An  old cabinet-maker named Scaecoiii Ducci attempted to commit suicide by cutting off his left hand with an axe. He was fortunately disoiwered in time, and taken to the hospital, where it was found possible to save his life. Asked for sonic reason for his action, the old man replied tlrat it order to punish himself for growing. old and unable to work." As it was in his hands that his weakness bhowed itself most. he had determined that they—or one of them—should boar the punishment. It seems that he had been out of work for some time past, and had everywhere been refused employment on account of 11i ge. He had displayed -the most amazing endurance in his self-mutilation, having taken three blows with the axe helots his object was attained.

WEEKLY GAZETTE.  ' "About your father? Yes," compassionately. The chest made you think of him? lam sorry I mentioned it to you. But I will finish my story. since I was so tnoughdess as to begin it. Yesterday, at dark, the chest walked efi of itself. At least, I don't know how else it went. I had it displayed at the entrance, just inside the door, and, almost a. I might say, While my eyes were upon it it disappeared. .1 box four feet lone', half of it solid rosewood, banded with metal, was no trifle for a thief to to carry away. It appeared to me that it went by magic—not a sound was made. missed it the next mement, and ran out upon the pavement, bat there wee no trate of it to be seen. I was startled." I believe the ghost was my faCher," said Will after a minute's reflection. -I do not know where he is or how he contrives to elude observation; but every' little while something . like this 0C4111"8. If you say 80. I will pay you for it, what you gave Mr *Grey."No, no. it is not tho money I want, :Mr' Duleth. The box was a great favourite with'. we. .1 did not fancy losing it. Seeing you pass, I theught 1 would tell you of it, supposing you might still feel interested in its fate. 1 did net think of your father in connection with it; indeed, I supposed he was dead—committed suicide last spring. Got the impression from the newspapers. We supposed so for weeks. But I have reason to know that he is still alive, though 1 have not seen his face since the night of my mother's death. I am quite certain he has purloined the chest; but I have no more idea where to look for it than you have. Indeed, 1 would rather pay you for it. sir. than have you lose • the value of. it."  He took out his slender purse; but the sad, old look on his young face had aroused the sympathy of the merchant, who made him put up his money, bidding him good-day in a friendly manner. "1 believe the chest is haunted., whether your father took it or whether it walked oft of itself.' he said, smilingly. "I was always a little afraid of it.''  "It dirl serve as a coffin a great man.y years, sir."  -Well, if you ever hear of it again, let me know the titiale of its odd history."  Will promised, and walked away full of relowed anxiety aud conjectures. fils father was still alive, vigilant. cunning, so watchful that he ha4.l detected the destin.ation of the theist at the time of the retnoyal of Mr Grey's baagage from their home. and so sly that he had followed it to the shop, and had probably been frequently uinco then on the lookout for an opportnnity of ractitio- it. !-Er, %

SLEEPWALKING.  A recent article in the "Northern Weekly I Gazette" on "Sleep Walking" brings to my mind the mtse of a certain man whose son was accustomed to walk in his sleep. One night the father was awakened by a noise on the laarclin/.7,. He got out of bed and opened his bedroom door, and he was rely much astonished to soe his son making his wa,y downstairs. The father spolic to him, tut no answer was returned, and so he determined to follow and see wihat happened. The son went dowr.stairs, passed through nhe , kitchen.. took the door kcy from a nail in the ' wall, opened the door, and wont into the yond. Soon he returned, closed the (i4Jor and loolccd it, reAniaeed the key an the nail, and returned upstairs to bed. This was repeated the next might, and the father became convinced that. his son wus sleep walking. He spoke to him about it, but he had no re,CrOileat,lo,l 01 his midnight walks. Another MVP -I remember is recounted by my friend :lack, who went to 1-11aolc-pool with his two friend... Dick and Torn, tor a heliday. Jack and Dlck slept legtthor, while TOM slept alone. One night Jack awoke and saw a while figure at 1 the bed- foot . s 1.!:.: I- peni ng a razor. 1-le on saw tha-t; the white tire was Diek, and he tholiont Dick .7,:,s sleei)-walking.

"I suppose if I reject you," murmured the lovely girl, "you will commit suicide." "Well," answered the poet candidly, "that hes always been my practice."  To have the power to forgive, Is empire and prerogative; And 'tis in crowns a nobler gem, To grant a pardon, than condemn.  At the end of 1910 and beginning of 1911, in South Wales there was a long a.nd disaszArons dispute in the Cambrian Coltlieries over "abnormal" plaoes. Riots occurred at Toniypandy and elsewhere, and the d;spute was only settled on the Miners' Fe4iec.-1..6(A1 entering on the present movement.  The first condition of suooessfli work is to do it with reliA ; and to do anything with relish there must be the persuasion that it is worth doing. People should be taught ea.nly the dignity of all honest labour.  -- : : : In 1893 the trade of the country was lirown into confusion by a strike in the Midlands.

"This time," she said, "the truth! The truth, mind!" He nsserted gravely. "I first met you," he said, "by accident when you were employed at Bearmam's. Yell had no relatives or any friends. You had been brought up in luxury and amongst gentlepeopio. Ycur father lost, ail his mency, died, and you were penniless. Bearmain's wais your last retwurce.
