long continued commercial crisis of the

abandonment of that system.
The remedy, he insisted, was a return
to bimetallism. The bimetallic move-
ment, he continued, was spreading rapidly
throughout England," Germany, Belgium
and America. All that was required to
bring about monetary reforms was an elec-
tric spark. which was bound to appear
from the very force of circumstances. ‘

The cement is a. compound made from

The figures soften

whole hardens together. In the cast-

pulp is used—red pulp for red roses,

English Trials.
Oneof the good features about an
English trial is the promptness with
which all proceedings begin. Precisely
at half past ten a. knock is heard at the
outer door. Instantly all hats come
off, the hum of conversation ceases and
every one rises. Then enters the judge
in white bag Wig and scarlet cloak,
plentifully trimmed with ermine- He
is closely followed by three sheriffs,
who are in attendance for the day, and
has reached the bench. Over the head
sheriff’s chair is placed a. large sword,
and it requires little imagination to
fancy that you are attending a state
trial in the days Of Queen Elizabeth,
rather than one in our material nine-
teenth century. The judge then makes
a. queer little bow, first to the jury,
then to the lawyers. The crier repeats
his - usual formula. Everybody sits
down and the court is in session.
.=“' A Barber’s Formidable Sign.
Over the shop of a. barber in the Isle
of Man, who supplies his custOmeu‘s
with all kinds of fishing tackle, may
be read: “Piscatorial Repository, Ton-
sorrial Artist, Physiognomical Hair-
dresser, Crunium Manipulator, Capil-
lary Abridger, Shavingand Haircutting
with Ambidextrous Facility, Shampoo-
ing on Philologicail Principles.”
It has been decided by the supreme
court of Massachusetts that if a. passen-
ger leaves a street car while in motion
and is hurt, the company need not even
extend assurance of its sympathy un-
less so disposed.
