If tiro code of Justinian had been continuously operative einco its promulgation it would r-till be youthful as compared with this Chinese product.

It is said, to consist of the accumu­ lated decrees of the emperors,-dat­ ing hack twenty centuries, collected, revised and arranged in logical or­ der, and is thus an application upou, an elaborate scale of the system of adjudicated precedents which forms the foundation of our Anglo-$axon jurisprudence, hut in China the respect for precedent "and written authority is much greater thanwith us. “A quotation from Confucius has settled many a quarrel, arbitrat­ ed many a dispute," .The only class .at ,all- correspond­ ing-to our lawyers is that known as “searchers/’ whose business it is to find a precedent according to which a -litigated question may be ■^decided., With such notions thus deeply rooted a code containing the precedents of ages and embodying the sum of Chinese juridical-philos­ ophy is not apt to he seriously dis­ turbed even by the mighty upheaval now taking place in the Celestial empire.—Charles Sumner Lobingier. in American Review of Reviews. Where Four States Meat. It is odd "to reflect that it is pos­ sible for one to be in four sffates at the same time.

Heart .Power, l The weight of the blood expellet at each contraction of the left ven­ tricle of the heart is about four ounces. The multiplication of this number gives us two and a quarter foot pounds—that is, a force capa­ ble of raising that number _of •pounds ono foot high—as the work performed at each contraction of the left ventricle. In an adult per­ son in good health there are per­ formed soriie seventy-five such, con­ tractions -per minute. Adding the work done by the right ventricle whigh is about one-third that of the left, we find that the force expend­ ed by the human heart in twenty- four hours would suffice to raise 120 tons weight one foot high.—■'New York American, A Teaser.

English L egend o f T a iled Men, "When a Hollander wants to show his contempt .for an Englishman he refers to him as a “steert man” —in other words, “ the man with a tail” The old legend says that Thomas a Beeket cursed the Koi islunen who spitefully cut off lus horse’s taxi and that the entire gen erafion of ^Kent which followed wore tails like horses. John Bale, Edward VI/s bishop of Ossory, mentions the legend, but gives some variations as to the cause of the punishment. He says On the au­ thority of Jolm’ Capgrave that "for Castyne yshc. tayles at St.- Angus tine Dorsetshyre men had tayles ever after that.” Polydorus, how­ ever, applies the - legend to the Kentish men of Stroud "forecutting off Tomas Becket’s horse’s tayle/ -One account, says that only those living iii Kent at the time the curse waa pronouttced “were afflictedwith large drooping tayles like brutes, their posterity baying not so af­ fected” -_____________ ' MigKt Hava Deen Worse, In a foursome competition at Machrihamish one Scotchman of the party, a man of optimistic tem­ perament, always remarked, "It might have been waur,” whenever lie put the ball into a peculiarly dif­ ficult bunker.
