PR I —
An unfortunate Rassian author, who
had published a book in favor of the
liberties of the people, was tried and
condemned at Moscow to this literal
method of retraction. A scaffold was
erected in one of the public streets, the
imperial provost magistrates and phy
gicinns of the Czar attended, the book
was separated from the binding, the
margins cut off, and every leaf rolled in-
to shape. Lhe profost then served leaf
after leaf to the author, who swallowed
the unpalitable food under fear of the
knot. Assoon a8 the physicians were of
the opinion that he had received into
his stomache a8 much as was consistent
with safety, the transgressor was sent
back to prison, The business was re
sumed the two following days, and after
three hearty meals every leaf of the
book was actually swallowed,

The other day a bride and groom were
among the visitors They were from New

showing them around. Of course, he was |
explaining the whispering them.
The bride was on the north stone and the
friend stood upon the steps of the south
door. He was whispering to her several
little things of interest about the hall
She bad her back toward him. A page
from the House came along and got inter.
ested in the conversation. Suddenly he
thought he, too, would talk to the bride,
and when tip friend stopped for an in-|
stant, the pale said: “Say, old girl, how
old are you, anyhow!" As quick as light
ning the bride hopped off the whispering
stone. Her face was crimson with blushes,
and she took her husband's arm and
walked off. The friend had heard the
page's remark and saw its result, but be
fore he could grab the boy the naughty
