What his future program may be depends on circumstances. All this ciaborate ceremonial may be the pre- lude to trying a hawker on a charge of stealing a penny, as was Mr. Jus- tice Darling's experience at Dolgelly uot long ago; ort long days of law cases, opening as early as nine o'clock, and dragging their dreary length to- wards midnight. But it must not be imagined that | his lordship's days are all either toil or junketing. He has many mopish { hours in his lodgings, when he is not dining with his worship the mayor, or some local grandee. And here he finds his marshal, who is usually the son of ,a friend, a veritable treasure, who helps Lim 10 while away the ted- ious hours with chat and anecdote, a game of cards, or a song; wha reads to him, writes his letters, and general. i ly makes it his hie mission to be both | amiable and helpful to him.

Whereupon, she flings away her legal panoply and, shrieking aloud, rushes hi ym the room. Museum of Dress. The London Museum at Kensington Palace has just acquired from Mr. Seymour Lucas, R.A., his magnificent collection of English historical cos- tumes The purchase price amounts to sev- eral thousand pounds. Larger offers were made by the Métropolitan Mu. seum, New York, and other museums, but they were patriotically rejected by Mr. Lucas Mr. Lucas, ig painting his histori cal pictures, always clothed his mo dels in the actual garments of the day to be represented. Many of the cos- tumes in the collection are to be seen depicted on the walls of our art gal- leries. Among them may be instanced those in the famous picture of Drake and the other English admirals play- ing bowls on Plymouth Hoe when the Armada wad sighted.

From Appledore (Eng.) the saimor boats pull cut every day at this tim. of the year, each with its huge of nets piled in the stern, and man by a crew of four. They go down the estuary jusi as the flood tide be pouring in over the great wastes of golden sands that strech across from Westward Ho! eastwards. About a score of boats in all work from Apple- dore and the other villages the mouth of Taw and Torridge, and it migut be supposed that the crews would quarrel for the possession of tie best places to cast their nets But they never do so. At the be. ginning of each season--that is, in March--the owners of the boats meet together, and an \ equal number of num. bered slips are put into a hat, and drawn. In this way the place of each settled for the season. A boat does not stick to the same all through the season. It fishes two tides from one bank, and | then chan ges over to the other side. { Very large fish are sometimes caught | in this estuary. There is a record of a salmon of boat thinks it fish at a haul price which the boatmen r their catch is usually 1s a pound. mass odd gins at re 1d cave | A Lightning Freak, The marks left | by lightning on a | boy 18 were described at a recent at Batt a, England.

A bullet like jagged hole marked the point of emergence, w the toe was turned perfecuy black. The cranium | was lacerated, a burn on the throat showed where the collar stud had been. and tree-like impressions were left on the thighs. Death resulted from shock.
