Birds Driven Out to Sea. In the far North, and particularly along the ocean -coast, birds are fre- quently storm driven and lose their bearings, so that many of them are lost at sea.

An Irish judge, in ccnsideration of the defending ccunsel being English and unable to get any results from his cross-examination of the plaintiff, who was also of Hiberian descent, un- dertook the examination himself. The case was that of an employe who had brought an action of damages against his employer for being kicked by one of the animals in the stable, while | performing his duties. “You say you were very careful in attending to this herse,” said the judge, “and that you did not prod him on the legs with the fork, or excite him in any way; now what reason can you give for him having kicked you?” “Because he was a mule, sir,” re- turned the witness.
