The case is pocul. -lar, and ills its fuuuy ae well as ser• ious aspect. Accol:dit'.g to the testi- mony in court, it appeared that Mr. Hall, a respectable young mein en- gaged in the bout tied shoe business in East BJdteu, Was seen by rill aust- ere and sensitively virtuuus police- man named Maguire, attending in a doorway un ll,tuover street hate one night, engaged in the delightful oc• cupation of kissing Mrs, Hall. A few curious people had gathered ou the sidewalk at the same moment, and were enjoying the unusual spec tacle. Patrolman 1\l•lguire, in vig- orous Celts-Slxan, interrupted tho oseulatoty proceedings and insisted that the couple should move on. They demurrer}, whereupon the aust- •ere policeulau tcallf theta up to the station .house, and next morning brought thole iuto court. D'Ir. dells vigorously deuouuced the conduct of the policeman as au outrage on ,the rights of hon ist., virtuous citiz sus. The officer persisted that the couple smelled of liquor. Mr. Hall said that he and his wife had been making a call that evening on some friends iu Concord and that he had drunk a little beer, and that on the way down tows they had stopped into hill's and opened a pintbottle of champagne. From Hill's they proceeded downtown to take a car for home, when they had a nlisund• eretanding with Patrolman Maguire. 'Mrs. Hall corroborated her hus- band's testimouy. Judge Burke said that lie (lid not think the arrest an -outrage as the fact of their kissing each otber on the street was certain• ly an unusual action to the officer, who did not know the couple's re- lations to richer other. He thought it would have poen better for them to have deferred their marital affec- tions until they had reached their horse, but that it certainly was not a criminal art for them to kiss ,on the street. In view of the fact that the arrested parties •were highly respectably; and that a conviction would injure their char- acter, he ordered their discharge and they left the cont t-rootn both happier :and wiser. • A DREADFUL PRACTICE. Some 20 years ago, when prose- cutions for "ritualism" woro in vogue, a high church clergyman was appointed to a country parish near to a low church town. He was youngish end unmarried, and so was bis curate. The local newspaper, ever zealous (as local newspapers so notoriously are) for evangelical truth, soon informed its readers of the new rector's crimes. He turned to the east ; he bowed at the Gloria; in the pulpit he wore a surplice— that characteristic garment of the :Scarlet Woman. And there was one accusation which touched both the rector and his curate. "Will it be believed," said the pious print, "that they openly pra.stice celibacy, even in the public streets 1" This . _ _�-r ..��aha>$a.ctt►s I>aa.alnl9GA....arnue% (Ad -AA doubt it did arouse, the spinsters and widows -of the neighborhood to a timely vindication of the rights of a woman.—Notes and Queries.

"•Nccr•oul.u":y" was the mid anti serious chane egainbt one of the dee fendants at the Hamilton police court one Morning last week. Dor• ing the magistrate's long experience a similar case has never been tried before him. On the flight of May 19, when all was still and dtit•k, two worneu visited 374 Hughsou street north, a small frame house, occupied by hire. Louise McCormas, a color, ed woman, who is better known as Mrs. Alley. flaying • learned of her iiigil reputation as a fortune•tol, ler they wanted her to tell their for. tunes and to aid them in discovering the hiding place of a watch stolen from a Mrs. Harold. Of course Mrs. McCorulas knew all about it after she Mysteriously read the cards. Sho took the precaution to receive her fee, 50 cents, in advance. After thinking .over the matter and not finding the watch the women decid- ed that there was nothing in the for - tone telling business, and the prac- tice sbonld be discouraged. So the charge was accordingly laid. The indictment reads : "That sho did unlawfully pretend from her skill and knowledge in Cer- tain ot•cult on crafty science to dia• cover where certain goods and chattier supposed to have been stolen or Lost ?night he found, to wit, the watch of one, Mrs. John Harold, and received therefor the Bum of 50 cents,against the form and atatute in such cases [lade and provided." In the court room the complain. ants were fleeted beside their council, J. \V. Nesbitt, Q. C. Mrs. McCom- as was not present. he was sub vetted as n witness at the division court. Constable Gibbs was dis- patched to the court house after her, but she did not reach the police court and the ea8e was adjourned until Tuesday. A. C. Beasley ap- peared for the defendant. Lawyer Nesbit did not like the free and easy way the defendant was allowed to go. "This is a serious charge," said he. "It is an old stat+. ute. The defendant is liable to a year's imprisoneaeut4,and to be plac. Ttigflie piiT'ory ©very qui►r�Ar': would suggest that she furnish bail, because She might skip out."

CROSSES. It 1s often efated that a certain horse or mare has a number of creases of ' some particular blood which influences the breeder in selecting a stallion or mare, that he. may obtain a certain Combination of blood. Ili is not the lumber of crosses of any particular -blood which indicates the proportion of that blood, but a given number of crosses compared with all the crosses constituting the whole quantity of that particular blood in the horse. Now, to find the crosses of any particular blood in any horse, the annexed table will show the amount of any particular blood : The first cross is The second eroee is The third moss is The forth oroas 16 1 16 The fifth arose is 1-32 The sixth °roes is 1-64 The seventh eroee is 1-128 The eighth arose if 1 256 The nineth arose is 1.512 The tenth °roes to 1-1024 Suppose iu tracing the pedigree of a horse you fixed any given cross in the third degree of descent, it is manifest that that the horse has one- eighth of that particular cross. If in the fifth cross, he has one-thirty- secondth of that blood, and if in the tenth cross, he has only 1-1024 of that blood. It is too indefinite as a Pulte, to say a horse has so many crosses of any given blood, but with this table you can say definitely how runny parts he has of any given blood.—Anterieun Trotter. A PECULIAR MARRIAGE CUSTOM. Scotland is noted for the simpli- city of its marriage ceremony ; but, however simple, people el ways recog size that by its forms husband and wife are firmly bound together fur life. There was once prevalent in Scotland, however, u marital tie of a considerably easier description—one which we are afraid would not un- iversally comtnend itself nowadays, though it might he of use to those unhappy iudividua!s of both sexes who are constrained to invite the as- sistance of the Divorce Court in loosing their bonds. By this cus tont the two persons were not unit- • 1 for life, but only for 'a twelve• month. This peculiar usage pre, veiled chiefly in the remote district of Eskdalewuir, where there was little communication with other places. A fair was held every year at a spot at the foot of the par- ish, close to the ,junction of the Black and White Esks, at which it was the custom for unmarried per - 8011s of both sexes t0 choose a Com, pauion accoi ding to their liking till the same time next year. -This was called handfeating, or hand -in -list. If both were pleased with each other by the time the next fair cattle round they continued together for life ; if not they separated, and were free to make another choice, as at first. The children born under this en- ga2emeut were reckoned lawful children though the parents did af- terwards resile, It is not known when this custom commenced, but it seems to have continued for a long period. In the end of last centnry an old man was living near Lang, holm who was son to a couple mar- ried in that fashion. This pritni- tive kind of union was entered into on occasion by the higher classes,for it is related in some Scottish his- tories that Robert II. was thus wed- ded to Elizabeth More.

INTERESTING NEWS NOTES. —The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Buchanan, of Winnipeg, died recently under very sad and dis- tressing circumstances. The little fellow was prattling about the home in the morning, when he stumbled' wards and fell into a basin of water which was standing on floor. Though rescued in an ant, and Medical aid summoned nce, it was seen that there was e hope for his recovery, and in evening he succumbed.
