A friend of the writer recent# made application for a public appointment in a small Scottish town, and, thinking thy: his chances of success would be greater by a little judicious canvassing, he resolved to cail upon a few of the town councilors in whose hands the appointment lay. Os the civic dignitaries’ portion in private life he knew nothing. Journeying to the town in question, he hired a cab at the railway station and requested the Jehu to take him to Councilor Bisset'*, the treasurer. The councilor was found in bis blacksmith’s shop shoeing a horse. “I’ll see somebody of more importance than this, anyhow,” said the candidate to himself, and, turning to the driver, be said, “Drive me to Conacilor Maitland’s office.” The cabman thereupon drove him to the local Joiner’s shop. This was worse even than the smithy, and In despair he ejaculated: “Drive me to Councilor Gray’s.” “I am Councilor Gray, sir.” replied the cabman. The answer staggered the candidate. He quietly paid hi* fare and disappeared. resolved to leave his fate in< their hands without prejudicing them in any way in his favor. — London Standard. When Life Was Little Valued. The 223 capital offenses which the old English law recognized as punishable by death did not keep down crime, and with the abolition of the death penalty for all crimes bnt murder crime in England, as well as everywhere else all over the world where the death penalty has been modifled, lessened markedly, notes the Boston Trav<er. Edmond Burke said that he could In his time obtain the assent of the house of commons to any bill that carried the death punishment. A mauO life was not very valuable In those strenuous days. If he scratched his name on Westminster bridge, if he wore a wig or false mustache or any other disguise on a public road, if he cut down a young tree. If he stole property worth more than $1.25. If he had been transported for crime and turned a day ahead of the expiration of hl* term of punishmeut. If he wrote a threatening letter, if he stole a hide from a tanner’s, for any and all of these things and for 200 more than these he was hanged by the neck until he was dead.

Animal Instinct. A friend at mine a*w two cate approachiag each other on the top cf a board fenre. There was no room foe them to pare each other, and be wondered what would happen. When they were near each other one of tuem stopped. turned around and retreated till it came to another hoard fence that Joined at right angles the one they were on. The cat stepped off on this fence and waited there till the other went by. My friend thought this act showed an appreciation of the problem beyond the reach of instinct. No doubt those cats had met before, and one was master of the other. What more natural than that the defeated cat should retreat before the superior and when it came to the other fence step off upon it and let the victor pass? The action involved no mental process any more than when two inert bodies in motion meet each other and one give* way. There was no other course open to the cat If she or he had turned back and taken to the side fence solely to accommodate the other cat why, that were another matter The Gordon setter that met a train of cars upon a railroad bridge and > stepped down upon one of the timbers of the bridge and stood Mgre while the train pasSed gave no p"f of reasoning powers. It was the only thing the dog could do. Nearly all animals know enough to get out the way of danger If they did not what would I become of the race of animals?—John Burroughs in Outing Magazine. Old Roman Law*. The old Roman laws, according to Colquhoun. conferred on the busband complete eapery over tfjp wife. All she owned or earned was vested in him. and he acquired the same rights over her person and property as If she were his natural daughter. The wife, on the other haiM, acquired all the rights to a child and to her husband's i name and succession in the event of an intestate estate, and could exer- < ■ else all the privileges to which her sex admitted. The power es the ancient Roman father over bis offspring was ' originally perpetual nor could the L.id be emancipated from the fatber’s control during the father's life except by that parent's consent nor did he become sul Juris until the father (being himself sul juris) died. ' when the son was emancipated by the simple operation of the law. In those brave days the father had legal per-! mission to scourge his children or to send them, fettered like slaves, to ■ work on his estate or even to kill them, choosing whatsoever means for their . taking off he thought proper. a How the Brahman Cleans His Teeth.

A party of automobilists was touring through Virginia. An saccident to the car forced them to take a train | home. As they walked down the road , ! seeking some one from whom they <?ould inquire their way they met an , old darky, says the Success Magazine. ; “Will you kindly direct us to the ralroad station?” one of the party asked. “Cert’n’y, sir,” he responded. “Keep ' a-goin' right down dis road till yo' gets ; : to vfeere two mo’ roads branches out i Den yo' take de lef one an’ keep on I a-goln’ till yo’ gets to where de ole postoffice uster be.” Creative. A certain man coming from abroad . was taken up by the smart set “We’ll make a lion of him,” quoth ’ they, “for the distinction he will there- j upon reflect upon us.” But the man was too little. It takes much material to make a Hon. “Then we’ll make a monkey of him," : said the smart set determined to have some exercise for their creative genius. Nor was the world the worse off.
