One of the easiest ways for a law- yer to confuse a witness is to make him explain the meaning of a word. Few people can define a word satis- factorily, fven if they know its meaning. A Western lawyer was cross-eXam 'ning a young woman who had a very baughty temper. Ac- cording to the Los Angeles Heraid, she had /testified that she had seen the defeydant "shy" a book at the plaintiff The lawyer seized on the "'Shy 7 'Shy' a you mean by that? plain to the court what the 'shy' means The girl leaned over the desk be- neath the witness-box, picked up a law book and threw it so accurately and so forcibly at the lawyer that he had hard work to dodge it "T think the court now understands the meaning of eee word 'shy,' " sai the Judge, gravely,.

The little coral reef in the South Pacific Ocean, known as fanning Island, is to be a resting place for the British submarine cable' to stretch its long length from British Columbia to the Australian Common- wealth. Although a mere speck on some maps, and entirely absent from most atlases, it has developed great importance in the telegraph system of the world. It lies 1080 miles south of Hawaii, and to be geographically accurate, is situated in latitude 3 de- grees 51 minutes 23 seconds north, and in longitude 15 degrees 21 min- utes, 60 seconds west. On this island the Pacific Cable Board, by iho name the English Cable Com is called, has determined to esata iis ite midocean station, expending thereon between $100,000 and 6120,000 in San Francisco The plans for the buildings have beeu prepared in this city by Henry H, Meyers, ard provide for quarters for the telegraphic staff, including the operating room, a dwelling for the Superintendcut of. the station, a carpenter ehop, bath houses, a lam room, kitchens and a large reservoir for the catching and preservation of rain water for drinking purposes. The walls of these structures are to be of coral obtained on the island, but all the other materia! will come from San pheergh oa The coral will be cov- ered with cement on the exterior and |* the pulldings will be made as nearly fireproof as possible. They will be for the most part two atories in height, ithe telegraph setts station will be English harbor, the only aitotens watenice an Fanuive Island, although it is nine and a half miles long and four miles wide. A peculiar- ity of the place is that it is not above two or three feet above the level of ocean, excepting on the outer coast, where the rim of the coraf has been thrown up by the action of the sea to the height of ten feet in some places. There are trees on the island, but they are mostly cocoanut, so that fuel, as well a" drinking water, is a scarce artl- cle. The coral isle has been a Brit- ish soesenetad since 1798.--San Fran. cisco Chronicle. Minard's Liniment Cures Colds, ete. Trausgressions.
