The manager telephoned through the mill, and all children who were illegally employed were hidden in various out-of-the-way places. While crossing the yard the inspector happened to observe some fingers protruding from a case, and, ) on raising the lid, he saw a curly-headed lad oronchmg down. He asked him why he was there, upon which the little fellow replied, Shut th' mouth, mon, and put t'lid down DoesnJb to know th' inspector's about ?"

But the examiner was inexorable. He insisted on looking under the blotter, and was rewarded by reading, in a large round hand, the words, "You may be very clever, but you can't eat coke Dr. Jephson of Leamington, celebrated in the fortio-, and fifsies," was called on one day by a lady of position.

Do you know-ahem -my position ?" Perfectly, madam," was the reply I am prescribing for an old woman with a deranged stomach."
