LIBEL IN ENGLAND.

*9tß*rdTlier«3o Glt« CaueFfiC f W* is defendants. fA eljMjttlme ago p young playwright sold a piece to a London manager and drew a small royalty each/week, which was paid by check. One week when the playwright presented tho check to the bank for cashing It was returned to him marked “No funds.” The playwright had the check framed and hung conspicuously in his study. He took pleasure in pointing it out to visitors and making biting comments until one day the manager’s lawyer called and told the young man that he was committing a serious libel on the manager, whereupon the check was taken down at once. Over in England the railway companies, or at least one of them, put up in the station placards bearing ,ihe names of passengers who had violated rules of the road, with addresses, the nature of the offense and finds imposed. The offenders took the matter into court, and now the placards show only the words opposite the offense, “A passenger.” It frequently happens that names given to villains and ridiculous characters in fiction will duplicate in real life. A certain English novel had its scene laid on the west coast of Africa, and the villain of the hook was a major in the army, supposed to" be stationed there. To the novelist’s dismay there appeared one day out of the unknown a real major, bearing the name of the villain of the novel, who also had been stationed on the west coast of Africa. In vain the unhappy author protested in the consequent action that lie had never seen or heard of the plaintiff. A verdict for the latter was given, with substantial damages. A Birmingham lawyer held that one could libel a man effectually enough by leaving out his name. He brought an action against a local paper for persistently omitting his name from its reports of cases in which he professionally was engaged. Presumably lie imagined that the loss of the advertisement he would have obtained by his name repeatedly appearing was damage enough, lie was nonsuited, however.

THE INDIANS PAID.

Wliat the White Men Charged Them For Killing' One Donkey. In “Reminiscences of Old Times In Tennessee” a story is told of tlie good faith and honor of a party of Chickasaw Indians. While hunting one fall they shot a donkey, mistaking the creature for a wild animal. They sold the hide, and it finally came to the hands of John Barnes in Lipton. When the Chickasaws returned to the region of Lipton for their annual hunt the next fall, Barnes invited them to a shooting match, the prize to be the skin of a very rare animal. Thirty braves appeared at the contest, and one of them won the prize. When he saw the skin, he turned it over and said: “Ha, ha, me kill him! Me shoot him! See!” And he pointed to the fatal bullet hole. Then Barnes told them that they had killed a donkey, a very useful animal, but he was sure that they had done It by mistake, believing it to be a wild animal. The Indians listened attentively to the white man’s words' and then consulted together a few minutes. Finally they separated, each brave going to his pony, unhitching him and leading him to the spot where a gang of white men stood, Barnes in the midst of them. Then one of the Indians spoke: “We sorry we kill donkey. We think he belong to the woods. We find him in cane. We think him wild. We sorry; now we pay. We take no white man’s hoss, pony, nothing of white man. We honest. We have ponies, that's all. Take pay.” And he motioned to the long line of ponies, held by their owners. “How many?” asked Barnes. “White man say,” returned the Indian, “take plenty.” The honor of the red men was not equaled by the white men, for, be it recorded to their shame, they took from the Chickasaws 35 ponies to pay for the accidental killing of one donkey.

Your Canary.

Don’t forget to give your canary the best of water and seed every day. See that he has a good fish bone. Clean his cage every day. Keep him out of the hot sun and the glare of night lights and yet let him have sunshine. Talk to him; talk to him with a kind voice. Let him out of the cage occasionally. We give crumbs of bread soaked in milk, lettuce, chlckweed, a little piece of egg, sometimes a little fruit, a nut and lots of good things and let him eat or reject as he pleases. Remember he Is a prisoner in confinement, dependent on you every day for health and life, and constantly strive to make him happy. A little 10 cent looking glass will add greatly to his happiness. Take care that neither sun nor other light reflected shall dazzle him.

The Height of Clouds.

To determine the height of clouds an observer at each of two stations a mile or more apart measures the angle and altitude of some point of a cloud, the Identity of which Is ascertained from conversation by telephone, while synchronism in the observation Is secured by the beating of electric pendulums. This is the method used at the celebrated observatories at Upsala, in Sweden.
