"Laughter in court". often means nothing more than a relief of the nervous tenzion of those engaged in trying or in following the develop- ments of a great and grim trial, At other times gennine merriment J s evoked by a judieial Sally, Sa,ys London Answers, Curran, as an Irishman, might, naturally be leolsed to for good things, and abundantly he supplied eptbem. One anecdote relates how, seeing the judge shak hi head at some observation eif his, he turned to the jury. exelaiming, "Gentle- men, those who are unfamiliar with his Lordship might imagine from the motien a his heasla that he. ii tended to express disapprebation, but lean assure you from long ex- - perienee that when his Lordship shakes bis -head thcre'e nothing in On another occasion, seeiog Leod Clare earess a Newfoundland deg while he wae arguing 'before him. Curran immediately pawed in his argument, "Go en, Mr. Curran," said the judge, "Ohs" replied Curran, indieting the dog, "1 thought your Lord- ships were in eoutadtatioo." ESIGNED FOR THE STEEPLE Some of his jesta would new be thought strangely in had taste, as when, appearing with a very tall junior,. be ehserved, "With no my Lord, 45 Mr. ----, who I believe was tended for the Churein -though 1 must say that INTature !Seems to have designed him for the steefile-"n The alibi has comeiu.ler it§ .tair ahare lasts, Sir Henry Hawkins' relates an his reminiscermes bow he 011*5 TO5H1d the followiug ids brief 4 "If the ease is ealled on be - fere 330, the defenee is left to the nwiy .ait the counsel; Wafter that hour, the »defenee is an alibi, as by the rt the usual alibi Wit4le5545 wfiI laave returned from Norwigh, whore they are present prefession- ally engaged." There have been few needier men iU retort than the late Mr, Fronds Oswald, of "Oswald on Contempt et Court," After ft stiff breeze in a Chancery diourt, the judge snapped out, "Weil, ilatPtt ktflOil you man - mita. Min Oswald," "That is so, Itt'Liol, that is tm," i nether occasiou, an irascible judge te.plicti the imperturbable ono. On observed, If you Say another word, Mr. Oswald, commit you." "That raises another point— as to your Iordahip's power to earn - reit counsel engaged in arguing be- fore you," was the tool answer. TWO GOOD TALES. In a similax case, Curran had replied, "At any rate I shall have the satisfaction of knowing that I am not the worst thing your Lord- ship has committed." TWO good tales hang on a miner arehitectural catastrophe, the fall- ing of plaster from the court ceil- ing. "Fiat juatitia, runt eoeltim" (Let justice be done,. though the heavens should fall in) was Lord Justice Chitty's happy and instant quotiAiori; on a like incident be- falling in Chief Justice, Helreyd's court in Australia, counsel, who was addressing the Court at the time incantionsly advanced the sug- gestion, 'Dry rat has probably been the cause of that, ray. Lord.' "I am quite of your opinion, Mr. ," witheringly observed the chief. A counsel apokgizirig for repeat- ing himself in a very prolix speech with the remark, 'tl believe I have said that before," a late Equity judge long sufferingly observed, "Oh, don't apologize, Mr. —, it was such a very long time ago I dare say you had forgotten." Lord Justice Chitty was more brutal in a case where counsel had been argu- ing to distraction on a bill of sale. "I will now proceed to address my- self to the furniture—an item cov- ered by the bill," eounsel contin- ued. "You have been doing noth ing else for the last hour," lament- ed theweary judge. MR. JUSTICE DARLING. Perhaps Sir Charles Darling nev- er raised heartier laughter than in swhere the issue was svhether the pha action some two years ago plaintiff, who had been engaged by the defendant to sing in "potted 'OPera" at a music hall, was compe- tent to fulfil his contract. , • "Well, he could not sing like the archangel Gabriel,' a witness had said, in reply to Mr. Duke, K.C. "I have never heard the arch. angel Gabriel," commented the eminent counsel. "That, Mr. Duke, is a pleasure to come," was his Lordship's swift, if gently ear eisiic, rejoinder. .-• Of the 3,000 languages and,dia- jests on the earth,, the 'Bible has been,,,trartslated into ISO.' the 'past fourteen ! years -eduction Of 'crude petro cum India has incteased by. neatly' ()pi; , ai!

S TUE BUTTON. That *Will 'Bake Railwa Ae cidents Impossible. Almost incredible are the possi- bilities attaehing to an invention that has nearly been completed and which will make railroad accidents praetically impossible. Since the first demonstration of tile "railo- phone," which renders possible telephonic communieation with a railway train in motion, WAS given AbOttt A year ago, the inventor, Mr, von Kramer, has made great strides. In on notion with Pro- fessor Kapp, of Birmingham (Eng- land) University, be has evelved sensitive detector, by means of which, be states, "it is possible to pick up those feeble currents which are received by the train and to re - ay them up into stronger eurrents to operate electric bells or hooters, or oven to put on the brakes of train or to stop them at the will of the signalman at the station." Thus a signalman 10 or 20 miles away may press a button and the train stops automatically. Another feature of the railophone is that trains equip- ped with it can automatically bring back their signals to the danger position if they ha-ve been inadver- tently left .open by the signalman, and as an3r such forgetfulness is re- corded at the time It occurs, the in- strument settles the question of who is to blame if a driver passes a, signal 'which should be against him.

OLD LADY ALMOST CRAZY Willi ECZEMA A Remarkable and Convincing State- ment of the Success of Outicura Soap and Ointrnent in the Treat- ment of the Pain, Itching and Burning of Eczema '/, the...underigned, cannot give enough praise to the Outicura Remedies. 1 had been doctoring for at least a year for eczema on my foot. I had tried doctor after doctor all to no avail. When a young girl I sprained nay ankle three different times, paying little or no attention to it, when five years ago a small, spot showed upon my left ankle. I was worried and sent, for a doctor. He said it was eczema. Ile drew a small bone frorn the anklb about the size of a match and about an inch long. The small hole giew to about the size of an apple, and the eczema spread to the knee. The doctors never could heal the hole in the ankle. The whole foot ran water all the time. "My husband and my sons were up night and day wheeling me from one room to an- other In the hope of giving me some relief. 1 would sit for hours at a time in front of the fireplace hoping for daybreak. The pain was so intense I was almost crazy, in fact, I Would lose my reason for hours at a time. One day a friend of mine dropped into see me. No more had she g.lancecl at my foot than she exclaimed, 'Mrs. Finnegan, why in the world don't you try the Cuti- cula Remedies!' Beingdisgusted with the doctors and their medicines, and not being able to sleep at all, I decided to glve the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura. Ointment a trial. After using them three days that night I slept as sound as a silver 'dollar for eight long hours. I awoke in the morning with but very little pain, in fact, I thought I was .in heaven.

Wearing his kilt, Mr, Harry Lauder, the eontedian, played a novel part on the sands at Black- pool, England, recently. His con- cern for dumb animals, especially pit ponies, is well known, and when he was invited by the Mayor of Blaapool to distribute the prizes in a competition for donkeys, Mr. Lauder eagerly responded. Having fixed medals to the winning don- key's bridles, the eorneslian mount- ed a sandhill and indulged in inter- esting and amusing "patter," He related some of his experi- ences as a pit boy. He told how, when going through a drift in a ocial 141110, his pit pony suddenly stopped.

The most conspicuous achieve- ment of Dr. Maria Montessori's in- teresting educational methods, says Josephine Tozier in The World's Work of London, is the way,i, in which her little pupils begin spon- taneously to read and write --or "explode into writing," as Madame Montessori her,self graphically puts it. Ordinarily, children are taught to read and write by means of a long succession of monotonous and, to them, meaningless tasks imposed upon them by the teacher. By the Montessori naethod there is no co- ercion, there is no attempt even to persuade the, child. He uncon- sciously masters the means of ex- pression through toys and games devised so to develop his faculties that they will respond quickly and accurately te the demands of his mind. About four years ago Maria Mon- taessori, an Italian ph,y-sician and teacher, opened in Rome the first "House of Childhoed," and began to apply her revolutionary methods ef education to the teaching of little children. Her work has set on foot a new educational movement throughout Europe and there are At 111 1 essori eehools in Be York. the !children entertain in with toys seleeted to ap- the senses of toueli and Meanwhile the teaeher makes a careful stady of the peen- liarities of each pupil, but does not attempt any aetual Indeed, ehildren are ia the "House of Childhood" sometimes 1.9r g4flig'41. weeks beforo any real lessons are given them. They are eckaired, however, to be tidy in their persons and in their dress. Now, all children love to dabble in water, particularly When soap plays part in the gatile-; in the Montessori sdhools, imder judidous guidaree, the washing of the bands and face becomes, even with the :youngest, a cleaning process., Doctor noes light, ymuattics togiav the little ones command of their limbs and to bring about tile prcqler coordina- tion of their muscles., but the gyro - nestle 0-4001V11,503 continue only 4 teW minutes at a tirae, Then fellow house eares,--tbat is, the arrange - merit of tables and the washiag of dishes, --and then buildiag with blocks and the matehing of colors. The Arst of the tactile exercisea-- the one that eventually leade to writing—is carried on by mcaos of ough and smooth paper. The ebild is taught to distinguish between rough 1441(1 5111043a by having his hands drawn first ever one swim') and then over the other. Then the child has its -Angara brought into cermet with squares of cloth; that is, with yielding surfaces. Next, the ehild reteives wooden tablets in order that he, may learn to diseri- minate between the weights of two different objcots. Then the pupil has 'geometrical 1033113 in metal, which he places on paper and the outlines of 'which he traces with a colored crayon. These outlines he fills in with color. This last exer- cise Doctor Montessori regards as of the greatest importance, for it trains the fingers to direct the pen- eil Or erayen. When the child's sense of touch has thus been actually developed, he receives an alphabet, each letter of which is mounted on a separate piece of sandpaper. He traces the outline of each letter with Inc fin- gers as it is " pronounced by the teacher. The sound of each letter becomes so strongly associated with the muscular movements necessary to produce it that When he hears a. word spoken of Which the letters are known to him, his fingers in- stinctively make the motions that -they have so often made in tracing the sandpaper alphabet. If he has a crayon iii his band the record be- comes visible, and he begins to write. on TATTLE ABOUT TEA. Little commonplace matters are so very often lost sight of in the stress of life. And the one and only way -to dnake a drinkable cup of tea is a emall fact everleolsed itt the education of most, and yet it is a thing whieh every man, woman, or child should know how to do (dor- rectly. To begin with, if possible, an earthenware teapet should be used. Silver, plated, copper, and other metal vessels de not seem possess the virtues of making a real geed eup of tea.

The City of London's memorial to Florence Nightingale is rapidly nearing completion and is expected to find a place in the lobby of the Guildhall early in the autumn.

The "Lady of the Lamp" stands bareheaded in the simple dress of the Victorian period, which preceded the crino- line.
