There is a scientific person in Eng land just at present who apparently spends his whole time in hanging new ly born infants to a branch of a tree; or rather it is the infants who hang themselves, in consequence of the scientific person's encouragement and advice. The branch is put in an in fant hands, and is then lifted into the air, when it is found that the infant will retain its hold and remain .sus pended by its hands for fully two min utes. The object of this performance is to show that man is descended from the monkey. It is the scientific per son's opinion that if an infant instinc tively hangs by its hands from a branch of a tree it is because it has in herited a fondness for that athletic sport from its simian ancestors. This is all very well; but when the scientific person's practices come to the ears of the mothers of the infants with whom the experiments have been made it is probable that he will some what change his opinion as to the de scent of man and will adopt the view that man has been developed, on his mother's side, from a . thrashing ma chine of complicated construction and tremendous strength.

"General Butler, if a man's dog steals meat from mv butcher cart what would you do?" "Why," said the lawyer, "I should make him pay for it." "Very well," continued the butcher, "your dog has stolen $2.50 worth of meat from my cart and I want vou to pay for it." "Certainly," said General Butler, "bnt I have to charge you $5 for professional advice." It is said the case was not pressed.
