In the recent trial of two women charged with an attempt on the life of Mr. Arthur Henderson, member of the British War Council, the defendants' counsel proposed, either as a last resort or in a spirit of irony, that the accused persons should be subjected to a trial by ordeal. "Do you seriously propose that the accused ladies should walk over hot plowshares to prove their innocence?" asked the Judge. "I do," was the answer. The Court overruled the request to revert to this practice of the Middle Ages. The women, it may be added, if properly coached by an accomplished magician, might have established their innocence in this way, for it is said that among some barbarous tribes where trial by ordeal is still in vogue a clever defendant may prove his innocence by licking a glowing iron spoon with his tongue, without injury. "This may be done with safety by any one," says the authority quoted, provided the iron be clean and thoroughly white hot, while if only red hot it would burn the tongue." We should not advise any reader to try it.

A crippled dog, a survivor of the battle of the Aisne, has been brought to America. The story that comes with him is. that he was wounded by shrapnel while carrying a despatch to the first-line trench during the opening hours of the great onslaught. With his left fore leg torn away, the brave animal struggled ahead and carried out his orders. An artificial leg was made for him, by the aid of which he can still walk or run.

A man of a certain type often uses the expression "the wife" in referring to his better half. Perhaps he has a vague idea that this term is more respectful than "my wife," which may suggest something of ownership or subordination. Here is an example of the use of "the wife "in an advertisement testimonial in an English weekly: I wish to thank you most heartily for the relief -has given me. I had been in Salonika six months when I was taken sick with heat stroke and malaria. Soon after my discharge I had a bottle of sent out to me by the wife. I now feel a different man altogether. and am now able to carry on in the usual way, etc., etc.

The expression " carry on," it may be noted, as here employed, has not yet found a place in the dictionaries.

A Western vaudeville theater, according to the "Dramatic Mirror," prominently displays a placard calling for courtesy on the part of its employees. One of the principal things insisted upon is that the patron must be regarded as "always right," even in so vital a matter as a dispute about change at the box office. Theater-goers in some Eastern cities, it may be remarked, who are schooled in the spirit of non-resistance to the box office magnate, will wish that this placard might come East for their benefit.

Writing about a visit to Bagdad just before the war began, Captain T. C Fowle, in "Travels in the Middle East," says that, instead of the blazing lights and the crowds of a Western city at night, Bagdad offers only dark, silent, empty bazaars. "The arched roofs shut off the stars, and the gloom is as that of Tophet. Dark tunnels. open on either hand; we might be in caverns or vaults far under the earth. Save for the watchmen and the city dogs, we seem the only moving, living things. The former, crouched half asleep, swathed in their long cloaks, raise a cry of Ya, Allah!' on our passing; the latter raise their voices

in dismal barks and howls." One does not wonder that most of the houses of Bagdad are protected by iron doors.

The career of Captain Jack Bonavita, animal trainer, recently killed in California by a polar bear, was a long succession of triumphs over the natural ferocity of wild beasts. That he should be done to death by a bear instead of by the king of beasts seems an unkind fate. Captain Jack's most dramatic escape from a lion was perhaps when a fierce lion called Baltimore attacked him, mangling his arm. Another lion during the mêlée seized his foot, whereupon Baltimore left his victim and sprang upon the new aggressor, thus enabling Bonavita to escape.

An agricultural paper prints on one page an advertisement showing six muskrats caught in one night with a certain trap. But the next page shows how much better a farmer fared who had luck instead of science for his aid. In cutting down a large elm he found that it was hollow, and that a family of thirteen raccoons were hibernating in it. He secured the scalps and skins of twelve of the thirteen, and then, pursuing his investigations, found that the fallen tree was also the winter abode of a

large swarm of bees. Two bucketfuls of honey were the spoil from this part of the

tree. It is stories such as this that make

most of us long at times for a taste of the life of the trapper and hunter.

Chicago department stores are, it is reported, to follow the practice of similar stores in New York and to compete with local art galleries in selling real pictures, not merely the chromos and engravings which have heretofore been handled. One store announces that it will henceforth devote one room exclusively to exhibitions of work by already placed on view an exhibition of contemporary painters, and another has work by members of the Provincetown Art Association.

The golf enthusiast must soon face a new addition to the high cost of his living. Hickory shafts for golf clubs, according to the "Golfers Magazine," are soaring in price as a result of the popularity of the game. The forests have been denuded of the right sort of hickory for this purpose, and no substitute for that tough-fibered wood has been discovered.

A story that deals with the niceties of punctuation is quoted of two well-known actresses. Mrs. Fiske and Margaret Anglin recently occupied successively the same dressing-room in a Chicago theater. To her predecessor Mrs. Fiske made this graceful but laconic acknowledgment in a note: "Mrs. Fiske says Miss Anglin is the greatest actress in the world." Miss Anglin, not to be outdone in compliment, returned the note with the addition of the commas shown: "Mrs. Fiske, says Miss Anglin, is the greatest actress in the world."
