Shortly before the Ably ssinian war, when
some experiments were being made in Plum
stead Marshes as to the possibility of FIR
ing a light mountain gun from the back of
a mule, no mule being to hand an oldjack-
aes was pressed into The service the gun
was fastened on the back saddle and placed
in position, the slow match lighted, and the
staff took mp safe position IN front of the
donkey, the mnzzle of the gun being point
ed over his tail. But no sooner did the
match being to crackle than the donkey be
came startled, and began to turn round and
round ITO the great dismay of the officers
who were experimenting the experiment.
Some sought eafety in flight, some lay fat
on the ground, and it was great relief to
all when the gun finally exploded without
iDiuriog any one except the poor ass, who
was sent heels over head by the shock.

O!d Tom Woods is one of those men who
have to ruminste upon joke for hours be-
fore they zee the point. Some time ago he
met a poor friend down town who had ust
scraped up money enough to purchase an
overcoat. It.was poor fit and rather small.
Tom noticed this and said to his friend,
That's warm coat you've bought, but it's
too short" Never mind" said his friend,
smiling, "it'll be long enough before get
another" After they bad parted Tom
wondered why his friend Eadsmiled. After
be had cudgelled his brains all the
way home, while at the supper table he saw
the point and laughed heartily. His wife
asked him what the matter was, and Tom
said he had met Mr. Dash, who had new
coat that was too short for him, aud who
when his attention was called to the defect
said, " it will take me long time to get
another one" His wife of course not see
ing anything funny in Mr.. Dash's answer,
as reported by her husband, thought he
was making merry at her expense and be
gan to cry.

Celia Logan explains the origin of the
phrase, wake me up when Kirby dies"
Kirby was the leading man Of the old
Chatham Street Theatre, and although a
good actor of his type aud a favorite with
the boys, he made no especial fame until a
melodrama was produced entitled Mike
Martin" in which he played the character
of Thunderbolt II fell to his lot to be shot
on the root of house. When he received
his death wound be Ieaped from the roof to
the stage. In order to make a realistic
effect, lie concealed in his sleeve q ema
sponge soaked with red paint. When the
eponge to his forehead, ard the red drops
running over his face gave the appearance
of CHASTITY wound, and that, coupled with
his bold leap and we'll acted death, made a
great sensation. He was nightly encored
and compelled to die over again. The
boys would often drop to sleep in the early
part of the play with a request to q com
panion to wake them up when Kirby died.

BOXING THE EARs.-There are several
things very commonly done which are ex
tremely injurious to the ear, and ought to
be carefully avoided. One of these is the
practice of boxing children's ears. 1t is
known that the passage of the ear is closed
by a thin membrane, especially adapted to
be Influenced by every impulse of the air,
and with nothing bat the air to support it
internally. What, then, can be more likely to
ipiure this membrane than sudden and for
Gil ole compression of the air IN front of it 7
If any one designed 20 break or overstretch
the membraue, q more efficient means
could scarcely be devised than to bring the
hand suddenly and forcibly down upon the
passage of the ear, thus driving the air vio-
iently before iG, with no possibility Of its
escape bat by the membrane giving way.
Medical authorities assert tbRt many child
ren ,aFa n shis way made deaf By boxing

sTHE LONDON TIMKs WANTS FAIR PLAY FOR
IRELAND.
(Bosten Pilot.)

We take the following from an article in
Ane of the latest numbers of the London
Zines, received by mail. The tone of
sDnciiiation and concession, the departure
Dm the old ihsolenr manner, which iguo.
ia the justice of all Irish complaints alike,
py Indicate change of policy In the leg
ation for Ireland:
Whatever may be the motives and the
ppes of the several members of the Home
ale Party, there can be no doubt as to the
Dduct that should be pursued by English
I'D Scotch members in reference to their
emands. The sting of the agitation for q
eparate Parliament should be taken away
By practical demonstration that the
United Parliament approaches Irish ques-
iona with a candor no assembly could ex-
4eed, and in spirit of impartial wisdom
Presumably greater than could be expected
rom q more protracted gathering. Irish
men should not be able To point to work
neglected., nor to questions voted upon IN
der the influence of pref udIce, whether of
English or of Scotch origin. We do not
hsk that legislation for Ireland should be
absolutely controlled by Irish ideas, but
we de- ask that it should nor be absolutely
governed By English or by Scotch ideas. If
the deliberations and decisions of Parlia.
ment were guided by this principle, and an
honest attempt was made to relieve the
of Ireland from the grievance
of having to come to Westminster for the
benefits of the private Bill legislation they
may equire, the strength of the demand
for Home Rule would be at once broken.
Some ten years ago Mr.. DodsoD submitted
to the House of Commons plan for rele-
eating private business to the care of ex-
ternal tribunals that should sit in Edin-
burg and Dublin az well as in London, and
should, indeed, be able to hold sittlngs at
any centre which might be found conve-
nient. Since that time the Railway Com
of it's working ought to enable us to solve
the problem proposed by Mr.. Dodson in a
way to relieve the Houses of Parliament of
labOrs which now exhaust their eneI gies,
and to remove what is a real cause of
to parts of the kingdom far dis
tant from London"

To argue in most cases, is to irritate. In
dealing with Protestants it ia unquestion-
ably, as a writer in the Catholic World has
well said, not so much learned arguments
that are needed, as clear and accurate
statements of the doctrines, prSctices and
aims OF the Church. CttholIc truth is it's
own best evidence, and is more persuasive
than any logic with Tbich the human mind
is able TO reinforce it. Prejudice against the
Church, so general among Protestants, lie
the effect of ignOrancs-nOthing else.
