Here is one that a young man who knows a good story when he hears it heard one railroad man tell another in a depot up the line the other day: "We picked up a new Irishman somewhere up country an' set him to work brakin' on a construction train at 8 cents a nile for wages. One day when him an' me was on the train she got away on one of them mountain grades, an' the first thing we knowed she was flyln' down the track at about ninety miles an hour, with nothin" in sight but the ditch an' the happy bunt. in' grounds, when we come to the end. 1 twisted 'em down as hard as I could all along the tops, an' then of a sudden I see Mike crawlin' along toward the end of one of the cars on all fours, with his face the color of milk, I thought he was gettin' ready to jump, an' I see his finish if he did. " Mike,' I says, 'for heaven's sake don't jump! "He clamps his fingers on the run- nin' board to give him a chance to turn round an' lookin' at me con- temptuous, answers: "Jump, Is It? Do yez think I'd be afther jumpin' an' me makin' money as fast as I am?"

"1f we'd spend only half as much time as the photogrgpher does trying to see people in the best light," said the philosopher, "we'd have a much |. shine of the arctic ption. They go not by Bands, but by tens and hundi thousands, and because nowhe in the world does nature provide the same time and in the same J such a lavish prodigality of food. The vegetation consists of cranb ~eloudberry and crowberry bushe these, forced by the perpetua they would starve in the mea they arrive on the very day melting of the snow. But each year the snow descends on an immense crop of ripe fruit before the birds have time to gather It. It is thus preserved perfectly fresh and pure, and the melting of the snow dis- closes the bushes, with the unconsum- ed last yeur's crop hanging on them or lying, ready to be eaten, on the ground. The frozen meal stretches across the | breadth of northern Asia. It never decays and is accessible the moment the snow melts. The same heat which thaws the fruit brings into being the most prolific insect life in the world-- the mosquito swarms on the tundra. No Europedi can Hve there without a vell after the snow melts. The gun barrels are black with them, and clouds of them often obscure the sight. Thus the insect eating birds have only to open their mouths to fill them with mosquitoes, ahd thus the pres- ence of swarms of cliff chaffs, pipis and the wagtails In this arctic reglon is accounted for. re THE RIGHT TO VOTE. Ina England It Is Withheld From Many Full Fledged Citizens, There are many full fledged Englich citizens who are disqualified from membership in parliament and from taking any part in parliamentary elec- tions. Thus all peers of the realm, ex- cept those Irish peers who do not hap- pen to have been elected for life to represent their order In the house of lords, are barred from the exercise of franchise. So, too, are police officials, high and low. They neither have a vote flor are they eligible. Ineligibility to parliament extends to the Anglican clergy, to Scottish Pres- , byterian ministers and to the Romah Catholic priesthood. Undischarged bankrupts and those convicted of fel ony and who have not completed their sentences and are merely" freed tickets of leave are likewise disqualis fled from election to parliatiént' So, too, are young men under the age of twenty-one and persons who, having | been judiclally declared insane, have | not been legally restored to their eivie | rights and privileges. Insanity, however, does not consti tute any disqualification in the case of the upper house of parliament, Luna. tics are permitted to tike part in the divisions in the gilded chamber, and at g Hagrya. co QR SRP EQ 1 ¥Do you meat to say such a physie: statistics {8 not exactly what would be termed a popula pastime, says Winthrop M.

A gentleman who is fond of studying wild animals in their natural surround: ings once had an opportunity of seeing for himself an example of the cunning for which the fox has become provers bial. As he was standing near the bank of i river one winter day, he saw a fox run out upon the ice and make straight | for a hole. At the edge of the opening he stopped, turned, followed his tracks | back to the bank, ran down the stream and paused to await developments, In a little while a dog came tearing out of the woods, with his nose close to the ice and snow, He ran along the ice with his head down, following the scent until he reached the opening. It | was then too late to check his speed. | He plunged into the water and was lost under the ice. | The fox meantime had walted In plain sight to watch the effect of his little trick. After the dog came into view the fox remained perfectly mo- tionless until he 'saw his old éhemy disappear. Then, with a look on hid face which seemed to combine a good natured grin with a mild contempt, he went nonchalantly off about his busi ness.

Coincidences of Daten, Attention has often been called to the curious fact of the date Sept. 3 fig- uring so largely in the history of Oliver Cromwell. That very dominating man was born on Sept. 3, 15909; he won the battle of Dunbar Sept. 3, 1650; that of Worcester Sept. 3, 1651, and he died Sept. 8, 1658. But we have lately come across some coincidences of dates which, so far as we know, have not been noticed before. The number 88 seems to have had fatal influence on the Stuarts. Robert II, the first Stu- art king, died in 1388; James IL. was killed at the slege of Roxburghe Cas: tle, 1488; Mary, queen of Bcots, was beheaded in Fotheringay, 1588 (new style); James VIL (IL of England) was dethroned in 1688; Bonny Prince h rule being granted to Erin.
