What He Would Shy At.
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.

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.—

and causes ihe tide. Plato account

zninial living tn a cavern, which, by
means of a liilçe orifice, created the

The ancient Arabs
believed thaï tides were caused by
the moon lie. ting the waters and
causing them to swell, while others
averred that they were caused by
the alternate decomposition of the
sea by the air and of the air by the
sea, thus earning an ebb and flow.
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. Some of these old
thinkers have been very near the
solution of thi problem, while some
of their crude notions are only fan
tastic.—Scottish Nights.
