Senor Isidore Errazuriz, the Chilian immigration agent in Europe, has been ordered to offer free passage to Cliili to twenty Irish families who are expert in the act of dressing flax.

Usually when a suspect is placed on examination or trial and is permitted to make a defense, he employs his attorney under tt contract like this; If sentenced to Siberia the fee shall be 1,000 roubles; if only a year's imprisonment, 5,000 roubles; if acquitted, 10,000 roubles. The trials are then conducted under the prin¬ ciples of the Russian proverb; • -The cause is decided when the court receives a present.” Thus the success of the lawyer depends upon his ability in pleasing tho judge’s taste in present giving.
