EIGHT. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE. Trick by Which a French Lawyer Won ’ a Hopeless Murfir Case. Maitre- Lachand, the tamnus advo- cate, was perhaps the greatest master of comedy in France, and not a few eminent actors envied him his mar- velous powers of mimicry. He was once employed to defend a murderer. against whom the facts were hope- lessl_y clear. vaVfiehnfiié pathetic appeals and his tears â€" which were always at call when he pleadeq hefore‘ancquntqy jury â€"failed to touch his stolid audience, he resorted to a most impudent piece of trickery. Thmsting his moistened white handkerchief into his pocket. he demanded ii the jurors were men. if they had human hearts, if they could bring themselves to condemn n fellow man like the accused, whom he had credited with all sorts of chiv- alrous if not saintly merits. His eloquence was not merely imit- less, but the jury responded to it st first with uneasy shuffling, then with biting 1i 3. and finally with loud and uncontro led Lursts of laughter. Ls- chsnd, while flinging about.his hands, had intentionally dipped his fingers into the great inkpot in front of him, and as he drew his right hand across his forehead, as it in a ony of despair at the certain fate of t e accused, he left upon his brow an enormous black mark like a crescent moon and drew two other black traces down his cheeks as he put his fingers to his eyes to dash away the tears. Feigning high moral indignation at their conduct, he continued: “You are about to decide whether one of your fellow men shall be thrust by you out of the ranks of the living, and you choose such a moment for indulging in cruel and thoughtless laughter. Is this extravagant mirth a fitting mood in which to decide whether a man shall or shall not die?” "Thenarvgâ€"ument actually told upon the jury. The man was acquitted. The Prince of Wales has received one of the two Orders of the Golden Fleeceâ€"the Spanish oneâ€"on attain- ing his majority. He could never have got the otherâ€"the Austrianâ€" because it is restricted to Roman Catholics. The Order was originally one, and was founded by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgunday, at Bruge! in 1430, on the day of his marriage with Isabel of Portugal. There it quite a wide choice of explanation! how the Order got its name. Some writers say it was taken from the Golden Fleece of Jason; others from the fleece of Gideon; others again suggest that woollen manufacture was then the staple industry of the Netherlands, where the Order was founded. Lastly, lovers of romance have claimed that the duke named the Order after “the fleece of golden hair” of his mistress, Marie de Rama brugge. But this would hardly have been delicate, even in the 15th cen- AL- ‘---‘AA-.‘ Howell’s “Welsh Celebrities" says: “Llewenn had the longest beard of which we have record. When loose and flowing it fell down over his horses shoulders almost to the ani- mal’s knees. It was of a peculiar yellow or straw color, which was all the more curious, both his parents being dark haired mountain Welsh peeple. Years afterward the moun- tain people had proverbs which re- ferred to this freak. they often using the expression ‘About as long as How- land’s beard' or “Yellow as the whisv v. â€"â€"v .- â€"__ George Kilingworth, whom Queen Mary sent to Russia in 1555 as on. of her agent: to Czar Ivan the Ter- rible, had a beard five feet three inches in length, and Count Rulofl of Poland. 1687, rejBioed in thee possu- sion of e moustache which we no long that he could not touch the end! of it with his fingers.

Zam-Buk. Just think! As sooxu as a single thin layer of Zam-Buk 18 applie to a wound or a sore,’ such injury is assured against“ blood-poison. Not one species; of microbe has been found that. Zam-Buk does not kill! ' Then again. As soon as Zamr Buk is applied to a sore, or a. cut. or to skin disease, it stops‘ the smarting. That is why child-I ten are such friends of Zam-Buk.‘. They care nothing for the science of the thing. All they know is' that Zam-Buk stops their pain.‘ Again. applied to a wound or to a diseased part, the cells beneathl the skin’s surface are so stimulat- ed that new healthy tissue is quick] formed. This forming of fresh Zenithy tissue from below is Zam-Buk’s secret of healing. The tissue thus formed is worked up to the surface and literally casts of! the diseased tissue above it.
