In Venezuela once a noted revolution ary plotter was put under what we call '"bonds to keep the peace." .. But, in addition, he was not allowed to leave the city where he was resid ing. "1 give you the city for a prison," was the courteous way the governor of Caracas phrased it. Later on that plotter came in with a successful revolution, and the memory of the days when he had "the city for a prison" rankled within him. So it gave him great pleasure to j throw the ex-governor ot Caracas into i Ji ii- ! "I give you the prison lor a city, ne ! remarked as he did it. j A Knight of the Garter.

The Chins of Burma are divided into a large number of clans, and a man may not marry a woman of his own clan, but after the marriage cere monies are over the wife is initiated into her husband's clan and has her wrists wrapped round with cotton yarn as a witness to all evil spirits that she Is under the guardianship of the kun, or ancestry, of her husband. The Chins are afraid of witches; but, as has been the case with other peo ples, they find great difficulty in learn ing for certain whether a given wom an is a witch or not. If they knew It, they would certainly drive the wom an out of the village and perhaps re sort to further violence. Like the Bur mese, they believe that witches have the power .by their incantations to in troduce foreign matters into the bodies of those whom they hate and so to cause them to die.

The prince fired, hit M. de la Valette just above the belt, but did not wound him owing to a five franc piece in his waistcoat pocket, against which the bullet was flattened. "Sir," said the prince to his adversary, holding out his hand, "let us make friends, and at the same time allow me to congratulate you on the foresight with which you have 'invested' your money!" Fish and Phosphorus. "Ah, fish is a fine thing for the brain!" is a remark frequently heard and believed in, but any one who has studied the subject closely would not hesitate to denounce it as a fallacy. In the first place, it is the phos phorus in fish which acts as the brain invigorator, and a man might eat a huge quantity of fish every day of his life and at his death the amount of phosphorus consumed, if it could be made visible, wouldn't be enough to tip a couple of matches. Are the northern tribes, who live principally on fish, famous for their brain power? Are our own fisher folk breeders of genius? Men of mark poets, preach ers, lawyers, warriors, philosophers and physicians have emanated from all classes except that of fishing. No; fish for the brain is a fallacy. London Chronicle.

A man advertised recently in a Lon don paper to forward on receipt of postage stamps "sound practical ad vice that would be applicable at any time and to all persons and conditions of life." On receipt of the stamps he sent his numerous victims the following: "Never give a boy a penny to hold your shadow while you climb a tree to look into the middle of next week." The Advance of Time. The age of man, we are told, ia threescore years and ten. From twen ty-five to forty, if the health be good, no material alteration is observed. From thence to fifty the change is greater. Fifty-five to sixty the altera tion startles; still we are not bowed down. In the earliest periods of our life the body strengthens and keeps up the mind; in the later stages of it the reverse takes place, and the mind keeps up the body a formidable duty, this, and keenly felt by both.
