THE WINGHAM TIMES
POLITICS AND BUSINESS,
A Sample of HowCleverly They Are
Mixed In France,
Politicians of the Ursited States are
supposed to be gifted above those of
Ali other countries in the art of self ad.
vertleement, but it is doubtful whether
any of our politicians are more adroit
in this respect than certain French-
Men. Witness, for example, the follow-
ing announcement, published in the
newspapers of Paris:
"GENERAL ELECTION.
"Te the Electors of the Steenth Ar-
rondissement., City of Paris: The un-
dersigned appreciates the flattering de-
sire of many of his fellow citizens that
he should represent this arrondisse-
ment in the chamber of deputies. Al-
ways proud to feel himself in accord
with his fellow citizens, be 1s con-
vinced that be would repgasent them
faithfully and that his nomination
would be equivalent to an election,
"Fully appreciating this fact and
thanking the citizens of the Steenth ar-
rondissement for their confidence so
generously bestowed, be begs leave,
nevertheless, to announce that the
great increase in his business as a
defer in hats at 1000 Rue de Mar-
seilles fully occupies his time and at-
tention
ttention and that his service to the pub-
tic at this well known establishment
will unfortunately prevent him from
accepting the responsibilities of a dep-
uty.
"'In abort. instead of putting himself
at the head of the people, he claims the
Privilege of putting his products upon
their heads."—Chicago Herald,
JUMPING ANIMALS.
Several Species of Fish Are Famed For
Their Leaping Powers.
Jumping as a means of locomotion
is shared by a variety of animals of
widely different classes. Kangaroos
and jerboas among the mammals,
thrushes and robins among the birds.
as well as such familiar forms as
frogs, cockles, crickets and• fleas --all
illustrate this proneness to leap, most-
ly as a means of getting quickly over
the ground, and even lions and tigers,
which never spring in ordinary cir-
cumstances, readily adopt this method
of attacking their victims.
A considerable number of ashes are -
remarkable for their leaping powers.
and several of these performers are on
that account specially favored by an-
glers, since by jumping clear of the wa.
ter in some cases many times in suc-
cession
uncession they tax the fisherman's skill
more severely than ashes less active
and therefore give added zest to their
capture. '
Members of the salmon family are
universally famous for their high
jumps. The sea trout are untiring ae•
robats, and a fish of a poundweight
will more than once jump several
times its own length out of the water
when hooked before coming to the
net. At their best salmon can jump
at least ten feet above the surface, a
feat achieved by slapping the water
with the powerful tall and flexing the
body until the head and tail all but
meet.—Philadelphia Ledger.
Josephine's Many Names.
Josephine, empress of the French,
was Yeyette to tier intimate friends.
Her name in reality was Marie Josephs
Rose. Napoleon after the marriage ex-
acted that she should be known as Jo -
sophism. He had a mania for rebaptiz.
iug the women of his entourage. He
made his sister Marianne an Elise, of
Annonciade a Caroline, of Paulette a
Pauline.
Among her numerous friends Joseph.
ine remained Yeyette. Barras never
called tier otherwise.
in 1814, on the departure for Elba,
the Debats designated Josephine under
the paraphrase "the mother of Prince
Eugene."
• At Rueli tier tomb bears this simple
inscription: "A Josephine, Eugene et
Hortense. 1825." The restoration did
not permit her recogn:tian as empress.
—ori de Paris.
Tyrbno.
Tyrone takes its name from one of
the eight sons of Niall of the Nine
Hostages, the ancestors of all the
O'Neills. Four of these sons carved out
large portions of Ulster between them
—Eogan'a share becoming known as
Tir Bogain (land of Bogan), which still
survives as Tyrone, while Conall's
share, long known as Tir Conall (Tyr-
connell). is now Donegal. Fermanagh
still bears its ancient name, which
signifies "the mountain valley marsh
district." which after centuries of
wavering finally triumphed over the
alternative, Maguire's county.—London
Chronicle.
Salt Springs.
in ancient times among inland peo-
ples the possession of a salt spring was
regarded as a special gift of the gods.
The Chaonlans in Epirus' had one
Which flowed Into a stream where
there were no fish, and the legend said
Hendee had allowed their forefathers
to have salt instead of fish.
