Those 04 board were the admiral, his secretare, Hon. Dudley Carlton, Geo. H. Gooderhatn, W. C. George and Mark Irish. The party did not land, but Commodore afarlatt end other prominent club members visited the yacht. The admiral, so it is said, justified his reputation ae a genial, whole- souled sailor with no mean gifts as a raconteur. He was delighted with the lake voyageentering into the speed. of the trip with a hearty zest.

Lod ytosebery Wobbles. New York, Aug. 30,-W, T. Stead cables' The American from London, Eng.: The political sensation of the week has been the announcement that Lord Rosebery, formerly the Lib- eral,. Prime Minister, has premised to address a public meeting at Glasgow to Protest against the budget. The publication of this report was speedily followed by a telegram from Lprd Rosebery, which read: "The report is premature at any rate." I should not be surprised if this episode brings Rosebery's political ca- reer to a somewhat ignominious close. Lord Rosebery his. Always hated the new budget because of the land taxes. AS he is a great landlord himself, • he shares to the full the landlord's hatred of 'taxation, blit he also hated tee death duties" as much and yet essoae,neeo to remain es Prime Mink - - ter while his Cabinet passed the hated impost.

THE PILLORY. gliglish eAfriter'a Fleflitotions Upon Public Punishment. Perhaps one of tbe few really derae. cratte institutionever created wee the pillory. I do not say that it was a hu- mane institution, thougb it wee cer- tainly more humane than our sysiteni of ellent imprisonment. But being he - mane has nothing to do with being democratic. Xonmay have humane and inhumane dernecractes, just as you may have bumaue and Inhumane despots. The point is that the pillory was a real appeal to the people. If it was cruel it was because the people were cruel or perbaps justly indignant. The people threw dead cats (the less MI- Manitartan, I believe, threw live cats), but they could throw bouquets and crowns of laurel if they liked. Some- times they did. The argument about the old public punishments cuts both ways. The publicety was an additional risk for the government as well as an additional risk for the prisoner, and this is specially true of the executions for treason. It tvas no stnall thing that half a million men might possibly treat as a martyr a man whom the king was treating as a murderer, that the prince had to eeneede to every obscure ruf- fian exactly wbat that tuftau probably wanted niost-fatne.-0. K. Chesterton in Loudon News. THE KANGAROO. Its Hind Legs Are a Most Formideble Pair of Weapons. The kangaroo seems poorly provid- ed. by nature with offensive weap- ons. Ills powers of biting are not formidable, and his fore paws are so weak as to seem almost rudimentary members of little use. His hind legs are museultir and strong, but aro ap- parently of r se only to assist flight from his enemies. On these hind legs Is found, however, a most formidable weapon in the shape of a long claw as • hard.as steel and sharp as a chisel -as terrible to dogs as the scythe chariots of tbe ancients were to their enemies. When run down the kangaroo, plac- ing a tree behind him to protect his rear, will seize in his fore paws such indiscreet dogs as rust' up to him aad, bolding them firmly, disembowl them with a sweep o.f his sickle -like claws. Even the bunters themselves thus caught in the viselike grip of an "old man" kangaroo of the larger breeds have sometimes suffered in like man- ner 'and have now and then taken their • own turn at being hunted as the en- raged animals turned upon them and attacked their horses with blind fe- rocity. -St. James' Gazette. The Colossus of Rhodes. • The gigantic Colossus of Rhodes was one of the sevenwonders .of the world. It was erected in honer of the sun by Charles of Lindus, a disciple of Lysippus, and was thrown down • by an earthquake about 224 B. C. The figure stood aipon two moles, a leg extended on each side of thebar- bor. A winding staircase led to the top of Ile figure, from out of the eyes of which were visible the coast of Syria and tbe ships sailing on the coast of Egypt. The colossi were the pe- culiar characteristic of eastern art a.nd were of common occurrence, many of them being over sixty feet in height The most celebrated is the statue ef Meinnos, on the plain of Thebes, . described by the historian Strabo.

Beads are certainly the most an- cient of all forms of the bedecking of the body unless we except the field and 'forest. blossoms. Nobody knows who first invented beads. Perhaps it was some primitive savage who found nuts or oak balls in the forest, drilled by the wood worm, and threaded ehern together on a stalk of grass. Anything 'and everything with a hole' in it served at the beginning for beads -cowrie shells, fish teeth, claws of began with the invention of glass,' and the Egyptians, Carthaginians and Phoenicians generally were skilled craftsmen at beadmaking, Sept. 13 Sept. 1;7, 28, 20 Oct 12, 11 Sept, 28, 29 Sept. 23, 24 Sept. 22, . 23 Sept. 29 Seet. 20, ee, 22 ward for aoy. case of Catarrh that Oct. 5, 6 cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Sept. ne Cure.

Robert Adam (1728-92) was to Eng- lish architecture wbat Denvenuto was to that of Italy. Ile was ar- chitect to the king, beloved at court member of parliament, aud it was stake of him tbat he "could not help adorning all that be Witched." Those of the English people who dwell in Adatu houses prize them as rare jew- els. Adam introduced into English are cbitecture a lightness, delicacy or touch and charm of proportion which it had never before possessecl and. which gave his name to that splendid period of architecture the style of which lasted over a century. Every- thing in a house,' from the panel in a ceiling to the vases and gilt wood tri- pods and branches for lights, from hangings at the windows to a wom- an's hairpin bolder, Adam designed hiniseit Adam got leis ride beautiful and distinctive style from the ruins of the Emperor Diocletian, at Spalato. As a finish to Interiors he conceived the Iden of using figures in relief upen walls, colored and adorned according to Raphaers Stanze painted flat upon the walls of the Vatican. 'His idea was as bold as its result was beaute ful, He also adopted Pompeilan styles of decoration. "Adam was artist as well as archi- tect, and his walls, ceilings and We- rior adornments are marvels of bar- neonlous colors," says an architect. "He employed no less personages than Angelica Kaufman and Zucchi to paint many of the panels and medallions let into his ceilings, and it was his habit_ to bare carpets woven to match the pattern overhead and harmonize with the color there employed. The key- note of Adam's style is 'movement,' combinewith perfect artistic fitness, and it is peculiar for its grace and stateliness.". QUITE FOGGY.
