In a certain recent case a groom was being cross examined by a bar­ rister more famous for talent than beauty of features. The clever ad­ vocate was endeavoring to find out about the temper of a horse, which had an important bearing on the case, but the witness was not very lucid. “Does he shy ?” he was asked. The groom said he did. “At what?” was the next ques­ tion. “At lota of things,” was the an­ swer. And for long no better or further particulars could be got. But Mr. Wi tt, determining to get a clearer answer, went on. “But tell me,” he said in hia most suave tones, “of any particular thing he would shy at.” “Well, ’e’d shy at you,” was the unexpected answer. And every one seemed to wonder whether that was evidence.—London Answers. ÌEWARD GOT HIS MYSTERY OF THE TlDESL --- — Queer The Duke, the Cow Driver and a M«se- mg Sovereign. The father of the pre ent Duke of Bueeleui'h was not averse to a joke as regarded his identity, and an amusing anecdote, with a some­ what serious ending, is told about him. llis grace purchased a cow from a farmer near Dalkeith and gave orders it should he .-ent up the following morning. According­ ly the cow was sent, and the duke, who was walking in the avenue, es­ pied a small boy who was att< nq>t- ing ineffectually to drive the ani­ mal. The boy, not knowing the duke, cried out: “Hi, mon, come here an’ gi’ us a han’ wi’ this beast!” The duke, greatly amazed, deter­ mined to have a joke. He walked on slowly and took no notice, At last the little fellow called: “Come here, mon, an’ h< lp us, an > sure as anything i’ll give ve half I get." This entreaty had the desired ef­ fect. The duke gave a helping hand. “Ami now,” said he, “how much do you think you will get for this job?” “Ow dinna ken,” said the boy, “but 1 ani sure o’ something, for the folk up at the house are good to a’ l»odies.” As they neared the house the duke left the lad and entered by a different way. He called a servant and put a sovereign into his hand, telling him to give it to the boy who brought the cow. The duke then returned to the avenue and was there met by the boy. “Well, how much did you get?” “A shilling,” said the boy, “an’ there’s the half of it to ye.” “But surely you got more than a shilling?” “No,” said the hoy earnestly, “that’s all 1 got.” “There must be some mistake,” said the duke, “and as 1 know the duke if you return 1 think I’ll get you more.” 'fhe boy consented, and back they went. The duke rang the bell and ordered all the servants to assemble. “Now,” said he. “show me the person who gave you the shilling.’’ “It was tliat chap there,” point­ ing to the butler, who, utterly con­ fused, attempted to apologize. The duke cut «11 explanations short and ordered him to quit his service in­ stantly. As for the boy, the duke was so delighted with his honesty that he sent him to school and edu­ cated him at his own expense.— Kansas Citv Journal. An E>e to the Main Chance.

A writer ns iat- as the thirteenth century coolly remarks that tides are caused by the efforts of the earth to breathe. Saintly St. Jerome explained the mystey by means of caves, and Bede Mated that the ebb and flow were caused by an enormous ser­ pent, who swM.lows and vomits the water» Anotl er old sage thought that they were caused by the melt­ ing of the ice at the poles. In Rus­ sia, dwellers by the seashore popu­ larly believe thet the tides are gov­ erned by the 'vatcr king’s daughter. The Shetlanders used to believe that periodical tides were caused by a monster living in the sea, or, to quote from ar old Shetland worthy, “a monstrous rea serpent that, took six hours to draw in his breath and about six to let it. out again.” The Chinese believe that supernatural beings, weird end wonderful, cause the tides, while the Malays aver that they are caused by the movements of a huge crab.
