The manner in which he spoke carried absoluta, conviction with it, and no one hearing his reply could for a moment have auspected my host of being other than a perfectly truthful man. The same story bas been told since of Byron and his wife, but the origin of the retort was, as I have said, in the houso and mouth of Ananiss himself. The true incident in the Byron family was not the story as told by the anecdotists, but after this fashion:
Am I in your way, Byron?' asked Lady Byron.
'Not always,' said Byron, I sometimes wish you were. If you'd been in my way. while I was swimming the Hellespont; without a life preservór on, we should not have quarreled so much since.'
It was then that the poet's wife left him. The statement that Ananias was struck by lightning with a lio on his lips is absolu- toly true, and it was a frightful tragedy, but we not mix up cause and effect without a duo knowledge of the real facts. He had just returned from a fishing trip, and was telling his family about trout that-had

'Hey, now, but what's all this ?' 'Only a b'ar who wanted to git some of his old fur off. He said he hadn't had any pertickler experienco with threshing mach.... ines, and I don't think he'll need after this.

THE HONEY AND THE BUMBLE BEE.
One day the Honey Bec, who was digging away at a sunflower to find the spigot and set the molasses tu running, encountered a Bumble Bee of the usual generous propor- tions who was loafing his time away trying to find something eatable about a hickory axhandle, and the little worker decided it was a good opportunity to remark:
Behold the difference between us ! While I was up with the lark this morning and laying the foundations of a new oʊmb, you wore still roosting amidst the dowy
grass.

For weary months they could not, with any degree of certainty, say that they would get a trialat all, and then when it did come on, they were knocked about from pillar to post to such an extent that they could not be blamed if they came to the conclusion that they would probably be far under the sod when sentence was pronounced upon them. When the time did conie to sentence thom, however, punishment came down upon them with a clap. The Chinese magistrate ordered them to be put to death and the other magistrates allotted them imprison- ment. The only thing that some one did not give them was their freedom. Then there a deadlock. No one knew which sentence to inflict. It could not be decided whether it would be better to Imbead them first and imprison them afterwards, or do After vice versa, or both at the one time. A while the conclusion was come to that beheading was too good for them and the old Chinese Magistrate's idea of settling the matter was set aside. Then there we further delay which lasted until a week or so ago, and at a further meeting the British Assessor and the Chihsien got together and sentenced Chan Yung to two years' imprison ment, and Chang Ping Yung to three years' imprisonment. After that they are not to be allowed in any foreign settlement in China, which is decidedly bad for them. since it is probable that they will not, if they are known to the Court, be allowed to rest in any Chinese town. There is only one place left for them then and that is Hongkong. We always seem to stand here with open arms waiting for men who have broken the laws of China. However, the two in question are not so bad as many who are already here. They have only been guilty of indulging in a little ultra- They have shouted out about their own country's milers in a fashion which is not in accord with the tastes of Peking, and the result is they will have to Huffer for it. The case attracted a con- aiderable amount of public attention and even began to assume international im. portance, but intrinsically it was of no account. The men were on a newspaper and they expressed their opinions too freely, and China wanted to kill them for it. The European section of Shanghai did not approve of that, and thus the notoriety
