Bret Harto, ms everybody knows, is TO lose
his Consulate for inattention to duty. He has
made great struggle TO keep the place, but

the way he ran the Office, which Is both true
and good
One day an American visiting Glasgow
tried to find the Consulate and after some
trouble succeeded in discovering burly
Scotchman who held the office. The visitor
asked If Mr.. Harto was in.
"0h, said the bury Scotchman, mir. Harte

A FABLE.

Once upon time, many hundred years
ago, when the world was not enlightened as
it now is, and divorce courts had not blossom
ed into their full beauty and usefulness
there lived man who had a wife. Now at
times the wife was obstreperous. and the man
was wont to caress her tendcrly with club.
One day she had been more aggravating than
usual, and the man, in his Jealous desire TO
perfect her in good works, became so vigorous
with the club that she fell to the floor, and he
thought he had killed her. Fearing the law,
he procured shotgun, which, being already
loaded to the muzzlo for tramps he placed
beneath his chin, and, pulling the trigger,
all of the available portion of his head was
blown up against the ceiling, in sangunary
frescocs. The explosion reused the woman
and she forthwith arose, and observing the
damage done to the ceiling, called for the
patrol wagon. The man was permanently
dead, but tho woman lived TO marry again.

Aquatic.
In conversation with John Kennel,
the other day on the subject of boats, il,
said some things which were surprising
but which his long experience gave hin
an opportunity of judging. He said thai
with all the late improvements in boat,
and oars, he did not think the boats and
rigs of the boats nowadays made thirty
seconds difference in speed in three
mile race. The Davis boys have a double
scull built twelve or fifteen years back,
and Kennedy says he has never seen a
double as fast. There is an old single in
Portland, built by Warren Brown years
ago, that even now is as fast as any of the
singles.
The hop at the Columbia house last
night was u very enjoyable affair. The
invitations sent out were very generally
accepted, and the boat-house was well
filed. Quite a number of the officers Of
the Washington, Potomac and Analostan
clubs were present.
1t is claimed that the reason the Can.
adian Argonauts did not make better
showing at Henley was that Morphy OF
their crew was taken sick.
