It was an announcement oaiciebadn't beard for yearn, and the passing of the word "Nlacaulay's up" emptied committee rooms 410W as be- fore it emptied clubs; the old voice. the old manners and the old style-- glorious speaking; well prepared, care- fully elaborated, confessedly essayish, but spoken with perfect art and con- summate management, the grand con- versation of a man of the world con- fiding his learning and his recollections and bis logic to a party of gentlemen and just raising his voice enough to be heard through the room. As the house filled he got prouder and more oratorical, and then he pour- ed out his speech with rapidity, in- creasing after every sentence, till it became a torrent of the richest words, carrying his hearers with him into en- thusiasm and yet not leaving them time to cheer. The great orator was trembling when he sat down, The ea- eltement of a triumph overcame him,. and he had scarcely the self 'possession to acknowledge the eager praises which were offered by the ministers and oth- ers in his neighborhood. -From Whit- ty's "Parliamentary Retrospect." ENGLISH SCHOOLS. The Flogging Custom and the Way It Is Regarded, About corporal punishment in Eng- land two curious facts lie beyond dis- pute. One is that while the working class and the lower middle class dis- like and resent It and will not in gen- eral allow their children to. undergo it, the aristocracy tolerate it without com- plaint. The time is coming, one might assert paradoxically, when it will be impossible to flog anybody but the son of a peer. And the other fact is that public school boys have often felt a special affection for the masters who have punished them most. In Westminster abbey stand side by side `she tombs of a master and his pupil. The master was Dr. Busby, who was head master of Westminster school for so long a time as fifty-eight years. Nobody ever flogged so many boys as he. 'The pupil was the theo- logian, Dr. South. It is told -I am sure the story Is true -that when South came as a small boy to Westminster Busby greeted him with the ominous words: "I see great talents in that sulky little boy, and my rod shall bring them out." if so, ho was no doubt as good as his word. But when South lay upon his deathbed it was his last prayer to be buried at his old master's feet, and the master and the pupil now rest side by side. -Nine- teenth Century. West Indian Negroes. • The West Indian negro is a born • poacher. He catches the quail by the • cruel expedient of strewing finely pow- • dered cayenne or bird pepper in the • little dust pits whore the birds "wash." • The burning powder gets into the eyes • of the birds, which, confused and help- ouless, are then easily caught. When he wants a wholesale supply of fish, he explodes a piece of dynamite, which • was probably intended for the making •of new government roads, over a hole in a mountain stream, and the fish are • killed' by the concussion. But his fa- • vorite resource is the bark of the dog- e wood tree. This be drops into a river • e hole, and the mullet, intoxicated, • comes to the surface of the water. This singular property of the dogwood • has caused it to be employed as a Aar- • cotic.—Pearson's. Noted the Symptom. • A little girl went for the first time to • church with her mother. All went well • during the service, but the child grew • uneasy during the sermon, which was • • a long one. The mother tried in every • way to keep the little girl quiet, but in • vain. Finally the child observed that • the preacher had a pompous way of in- .• hating his chest and lungs at a new paragraph or head. Just as the mother • • was assuring the child that the preach- er would soon stop, he did -for anoth- er start -and the tired child burst out • on 'her mother's assurance, "No, he 9 won't; he's swelling up again," -Wom- an's National Daily. •• w i I lisualillakeseuteek YIWAII.IY sII...IIiIiYWlll .. - - .... ...

Chapman who departed this life May 28th, 1906 A dear husband and kind father Has been called to that bright shore, And though sad we feel and lonely, His dear form we see no more. We saw not the angel meet him, , The city gate wo could not see, And the Saviour's words we heard not, To the one so dear to me. Though no more I know his barque will Sail with as through life's rough sea, 'Yit I know on that shore somewhere He will watch and wait for me. As I sit alone at twilight, Watch tete sun sink in the west, Ort I seem to see the loved form Of a dear one laid at rest. Dearest husband, how we miss thee, Thy dear voice'now hushed and still., And thy place forever vaoant, None on earth can over fill. For some wise and unknown purpose, Thy dear Saviour took thee home To that land of joy and gladness, Where no sickness ne'er can enter. Suddenly and unexpeoted Thou wer't taken from us all, But for that great change was ready, Answering to thy Saviour's call. While o'er lonely paths I travel, Where thy feet so oft have trod, I must struggle on without thee, Miss thee all along the road. • But my Saviour whispers kindly, I'll to the a husbiind be, And a father to thy children, If thou'lt put thy trust in Me. Dearest loved one, we have laid thee In the peaceful grave's embrace, But thy memory will be cherished Till we see thy heavenly face. Farewell husband! farewell father! We must say our last farewell, Till we meet beyond the river, Happy there with thee to dwell. Oh, how soon will be that meeting, Then the gladuese none can tell. Who will then for me be weeping When I bid this world farewell? -By wife and children. OF COURSE YOU CAN CURE YOUR RHEUMATISM!

In a fire insurance policy the .aim iilr Oared merely marks the maximum lia- bititt accepted by the insurance coni. pany and determines the premium to be paid, It is not in any way admitted by the Insurance once as a tlieatsuro of the value of the property insured. If I Have a life policy for £5,000, says a writer in the Nineteenth. Cenr tury, my heirs can, on proof of MY death and their title, receive at least £5,000, possibly more it there are bo- nuses, If I have a ship and I insure her with marine insurance companies for £5,000, I can recover the hull £5,000 at once should my ship be totally lost. But if I insure my house against fire for £5,000 I cannot recover 0,000 unless I can prove the house to be worth fully that sum. All that I am entitled to demand is the actual value of thy house immediately before It was burned, and I must give every assist- anee to the insurance company in or- der that the actual value may be justly determined. By statute the insurance company has the power to reinstate that house, as far as the sum insured will go, in- stead of paying me anything. In prac- tice, compensation is usually agreed and paid in cash without recourse on either side to the right of reinstate• ment, but in nocase am I entitled to more than the actual value of my house as it existed just before the fire. PATENTS ON INVENTIONS. Must Be In the Names of the Actual Inventors. The law provides for the granting of patents only to tho actual inventor of the patented invention, and a patent granted in the name of any one else is invalid. For this reason It Is essen- tial that the application for patent be made in the name of the one whom the law regards as the inventor. Iu some factories It is the custom to pat- ent every invention In the name of the president of the company. This frequently happens because the com- pany has been built up on inventions made by the president or other officer, and as a matter of pride the president wishes to see all patents issued in his name. This is a dangerous thing to do in the case of inventions, which were con- ceived by the employee independently of the officer, such as inventions wholly worked out by employee without sug- gestion or assistance from the officer, for if in a suit brought under suck patent it were shown that while the patent was granted in the name of the officer the invention was actually made by an employee the patent would be declared invalid, and usually a suit would not have reached such a stage until it was too late to go back and patent the invention in the name of the real inventor. -Edwin J. Prindle in Engineering Magazine. The Huguenots. Here are two essays on the Hugue- nots by Chicago public school pupils: "The Hugonots are people in France *it are followers of Victor Hugo. Their leader is a man named Jean Val - jean that was a thief, but got con- verted and turned out well. The Hugo - nets are very good people. A lady 'named Evangeline wrote a long poem about them, but it don't rhyme." "The Huguenots is the name of a big thing like a steam roller that ttie mo- gul used in India to run over people. It squosbed them to death and was very terrible. It had eyes painted on it like a dragon and snorted steam when it was running. They are no huguenots enny more." John Bright and Lord Manners. In one of his speeches in the house of commons John Bright quoted in spirit of banter and ridicule the well known lines written by Lord John Manners in his callow youth: Lot wealth and commerce, laws sad learn- ing die, But leave us still our old nobility. Lord John, who was present, imme- diately got up and pulverized the great tribune by retorting, "I would rather be the foolish young man who wrote those lines than the malignant old man who quoted them." Mozart. Mozart lived thirty-seven years. His first mass was composed when he was leas than ten years of age, and the enormous quantity of his compositions was; the work Of the succeeding twen- ty-seven years. Mozart wrote forty- one symphonies, fifteen masses, over thirty operas and dramatic composi- tions, forty-one sonatas, together with an immense number of vocal and col. certed pieces in almost every, line of the art.

Caoutchouc was introduced to Eu- rope by M. de la Condamine on his re- turn from Peru in 1756. "It Is," said its discoverer, "a moat singular resin. as much by the use to which it is de- voted as by its nature, which is a problem to our most expert chemists. 'It flows from a tree growing in several parts of America and is called caoufi chouc by the Mainas Indians on tht banks of the Amazon," Long before Charles a1acintosh began to make his waterproofs In 1$28 the natives of Qui to were using the rubber for the same purpose as well as for boots anebot. ties and many other things. The ne`1 and mysterious material had a hard, struggle for popularity in England. Dr. Priestley probably did more than any- body else to make its novel qualities known, for in 1770 be popularized it forever by showing school children hos* it could be made to efface pencil marks. Hurrah. "Hip, hip, hurrah!" is a modern phrase. The "hip" and the "hurrah" do not seem to have come together be- fore the nineteenth century. In the eighteenth century gip amounted to just "hi," or "hello." while "hurrah" was then usually "huzza." It 1s 'nee the Cossack "Ora!" but it is supposed to have been a German cry of the chase adapted by the German soldiers to war and borrowed from them by the ,Eng- lish, perhaps first of all at the time of the Thirty Years' war. "Hurra!" is said to have been the battle cry of the Prus- slans in the war of liberation (1812-18). Still, the curious fact that seventeenth and eighteenth century writers call "Huzza!" a sailors' shout lends sup- port to the conjecture that It may really have been the hoisting cry, "Hissa!" Whistler a Brilliant Talker. Whistler was a brilliant talker and a great debater. I shall never forget my surmise when I heard him say for the first time, "Bather, I are not arguing with you; I am telling you." I never forgot the lesson. Later I found that he had used this effectively in one of his letters to -the London World when lie said; "Seriously, then, my Atlas, an etching does not depend for its impor- tance upon its size, I am not arguing with you; I am telling you." He. spoke French,Ruently, German less readily. HIB Italian was very good, especially under excitement, though occasionally d Vouch word. slipped In unawares, adding to the picturesqueness.

"Can you point out a man who at the age of thirty has not committed at one time in his life a crime that would have sent him to the peniten- tiary?" remarked . a trusty at the peni- tentiary the other day. "I do not be. lieve that there is a man living, ex- cluding, for the looks of the thing, the 1 clergy, who has not done something to bring him here had he received his. just deserts. It is not always a great crime that sends a man to the peni- tentiary. There are men in here for stealing chickens or clover seed or nothing at all. It is easy to get be- hind the walls.

A teacher in charge of the second primary grade at a Denver school was telling the children about Columbus one day not long ago. She told them all about the home life of the discoY erer of America and all abort his peq- pie. "His relatives," she said, "were wool combers." The next day Columbus was discuss- ed again. "By the way, children," said the teacher, "'do you remember what, his relatives were?" There was a moment of profound stillness. Then a little fellow in the rear of the room raised his hand. "You may tell us, Willie," said the teacher. "They wus barbers," said the boy.--. Denver Post. Oranges. This is the West Indian way of pre. _paring oranges for the table: Peel the oranges, taking off as much white skin as possible; then slice them oft all round as you would an apple, regard- less of the sections. This leaves the seed, tough, stringy central part and most of the inner skin together and is a much less tedious process than re- moving the skin by sections. Use a very sharp knife, so as to make clean cuts and not crush the fruit. Cold Calculation. "You should do something to claim the gratitude of posterity." "What for?" asked Senator Sor- ghum.
