THE PARLIAMENTARY STOMACH.

THE PARLIAMENTARY STOMACH.
There is power in the British House
of Lords greater than that of the Chan
cellor on the woolsack, greater than that
of the Queen on the throne. It is the
power of the dinner bell. Punctually at
o'clock it makes itself felt. No mat
ter what the debate, no matter though
Mr.. Gladstone demands urgency of q
bill, at o'clock it perishes in general
stampede for the door. My lady waits,
and my lord would rather offend dozen
Mr.. Gladstones than meet the wrath of
his Marchioness, Countess, Baroness, or
what not. Some of the younger peers
object to this haste. They are ambi-
tious; they want to shine oratorically;
they have prepared little speeches, or,
as often happens, a secretary OR clever
sister has prepared little speeches for
them. Just as they get ready for their
maiden effort the hands of the clock
point to 7, and the House becomes con-
scious of the sound Of the dinner bells
ringing in distant Belgravia. The
maiden effort dies untimely, and the
orator rushes home Disguised and gets
the secretary or clever sister to indite an
article for the Fortaightly Review, de-
nouncing the House Of Lords as a col
lection of fogies.-Nea0 York Herald.

IN 4 SERVANTS BEDROOM.

One day German soldier arrived at
an inn in Swiss town, fatigued, dusty
and travel-worn. The landlord was on
the point Of telling him he was "full, :"
but finally ordered the waiter to show
the "old man" to dismal little room
in the upper part of the house. The
waiter shortly after brought him a
little book in which he asked him to
sign his name, which he did, the waiter
carrying the book back to the land
lord. "My God!" said the landlord,
looking at the name and wringing his
hands, "what have I done? In one of
the servants bedrooms! My hotel will
be ruined" And he flew about as if
half-crazy. All the walters were sum-
moned, the handsomest suite of rooms
in the house ordered in immediate
readiness, and the conscience-stricken
landlord departed for the upper regions
to make his apologies to the seedy-
looking "old man" and to transfer him
to more elegant quarters. II beg
ten thousand pardons. I would
not have done it for the world,
but 1 did not know that it was

quaking landlord, half out of breath.
"But what have you done that you

the cold man." "This room-it is not

did not know who it was. have rooms
for you below-an elegant suite of
rooms may I beg you to have your

rolled up his shirt-sleeves for wash;

how much?" GA bagatelle-but 3

BRIDGES and RHYTHMIC TIBRA-
ITON.

TTON.
Measured vibrations are more trying
to any kind of bridges, and particularly
to the suspension bridges, than irregu-
lar agitation. Music alone would not
strain bridge enough to injure it ma
terially; but regiment of troops keep
ing step to music when crossing a sus-
pension bridge would subject it to very
severe strain. Consequently it is Gus
tomary to stop the music before troops
reach the bridge. and let the men break
step. and march more OF less irregular
ly. The reason Of all this is obvious.
The structure will naturally suffer least
strain when at rest. When in uniform
motion the bridge acquires momentum
equal to it's entire suspended weight
multiplied by the velocity Of the motion.
It is manifest that, in the case of a
heavy structure, q uniform downward
vibration, be it ever so small, would de-
velop momentum of many tons il the
direction of breaking strain. The
same disturbing forces acting irregular
", so as to counteract one another,
would be far less trying to the struct-

RAINFALL OF THE UNITED STATES


There is a small circle in Central
Florida where the annual rainfall
ranges from sixty to seventy inches.
There is a belt covering Western
Alabama, Eastern. Mississippi, also
Southern Louisiana for fifty to sixty
miles on either side of the Mississippi
river, where it measures from sixty to
sixty-four inches. But the heaviest
rainfall in the United States is in
Alaska, where it is over eighty inches,
and along. the western coast of Oregon
and Washington Territory, between the
Cascade range and the Pacific, in
creasing from sixty eight-inches south
of the Columbia river to eighty inches
on Puget sound. In Central Georgia
and South Carolina it is ffty-two to
forty-eight; in Central North Carolina
and Virginia, diminishing northward, it
is forty-eight to thirty-six. Along the
Atlantic coast, for about seventy-fve
miles inward. it ranges from forty-four
inches at Savannah to forty in Con-
necticut, and thence increases to forty
four in Northern Maine. Along both
TANKS of the Alleghanies and Blue
Ridge it is nearly uniform at forty. In
most of the region south of the Ohio
and Missouri, from Eastern Tennessee
to Eastern Texas, it ranges from forty
eight inches in the south to forty-four
in the north, and the latter is about the
average for Southern Indiana and
Southwestern Ohio. The average for
Illinois and Northern Indiana and
Pennsylvania is about forty. For
Western New York, Northern Ohio,

BOTH SAW THE GHOST.

In "Bristol Past and Present." lately
published in England, the following
ghost story is specially curious as being
the only recorded example Of death-bed
apparition witnessed and heard by two
persons When the English forces were
n possession of Martinique in the seven
years war, Maj. Blomberg was de-
tached from headquarters to distant
part of the island, and there died of a
violent fever. The morning after his
decease q Col. Stewart was surprised,
while in bed at headquarters, by the
appearance of Maj. Blomberg in regi-
mental dress, who, in answer to an
alarmed inquiry why he was not at his
post, said: 81 died yesterday at 7 a.
NJ, and then he delivered an earnest re-
quest that his friend would, on his return
to England, attend to the welfare Of his
young son, then in the island, by see
ing him put into possession of an estate
to which he was entitled, the deeds Of
which were secreted in the private
drawer of an oak chest in house that
he named in Yorkshire. He then disap-
peared. The Colonel called to Capt.
Mounsey, who slept in the same room,
and asked if he had seen Maj. Blomberg.
1t proved that he had heard and seen
the same as the Colonel. The other
officers laughed at the story, but soon
afterward came tidings of the death of
Blomberg at the hour he had named.

HEADS.
Large Ones and Small Ones.

Large Ones ana S1ncH ones.
Lord Bacon says in one of his ap.
othegms, "That wise nature did never
put her precious jewels into garnet
four stories high, and that exceeding
tall men had ever very empty heads. .
This saying has often been used by way
of joke at the expense of tall people,
especially of those with genius and
reputation.
The same idea is thus quantity put
by witty old Fuller: soften the cock
loft is empty in those whom nature hath
built many stories high"
Bacon's notion may be true, though
we doubt if facts support it. But there
is another common saying which facts
contradict.
1t asserts that men of great intel.
lectual powers have large and massive
heads. Goldsmith brings out this vul.
gar opinion in the familiar lines about
the village schoolmaster
Amazed the gaping rustics ranged around;
And still they gazed. and still the wonder grew
That one small head could carry all he knew
A writer in the Journal of Science
says the idea that great intellect re-
quires large head is not supported by
facts.
An examination Of busts, pictures,
medallions, ETC., of the worlds famous
celebrities almost tend the other way.
In the earlier paintings, it is true, men
are distinguished by their large heads,
but this is attributable to the painters,
who agreed with the general opinion,
and wished to fatter their sitters.
A receding forehead is mostly con-
demned. Nevertheless this feature is
found in Alexander the Great and, to a
lesser degree, in Julius Caesar. The
head of Frederick the Great, as will be
seen in one of the portraits in Carlyle's
work, receded.
Other great men have had positively
small heads. Lord Byron's was re-
markably small.
Men of genius Of ancient times have
only what may be called an ordinary or
everyday forehead, and Herodotus, AL
cibiades, Pluto, Aristotle and Epicurus,
among others, are mentioned as in
stances.
Some are even low-browed, as Bur
ton, the author of "The Anatomy OF
Melancholy" and Albert Durer.
The average forehead of the Greek
sculptures in the frieze from the
Parthenon is, we are told, clover, if
anything, than what is seen in many
modern foreheads."
The gods themselves are represented
with Ordinary, if not low brows." Thus
it appears that the popular notion on
the matter is erroneous, and that there
may be great men with little heads.

THE wH17E HORSES OF HANoyER

THE WHITE HORSES OF HANOYER.
In an old tile-roofed stable, looking
as old and antiquated as the Schloss
itself, on the palace-grounds, stand ten
OF the whitest horses [ ever saw in my
life. They are of certain breed,
which has been the property of the
Hanoverian state for many, many years.
From the increase the purest white and
the most perfect in build and form are
retained to keep up the stock, while
the remainder are sold. Just what use
is made Of these animals does not
readily appear; for they stand there all
day long in their sweet-smelling stable,
doing nothing but eating. From want
Of exercise they have become like Wild
animals, uneasily swaying back and
forth, from side to side, and, no doubt,
praying an equine prayer for romp
over grassy, fiowery meadows, where
halters, stalls, curry-eombs and grooms
are unknown. AS one stands looking
at these poor beasts and observing their
uneasy movements, like the ceaseless
swayings of the elephants in the circus,
and listens to the groom as he seriously
tells you that they are regularly exer-
cised one full hour every day by being
led about in the stable-yard at the end
of short halter, one realizes the fact
that even royal horses, supported at
the expense of the state, though they
may be, do not have very joyous time
of it.-Cor. San Francisco Chronicle
