Amusiuc Blunders An speecb.

A "bulln may be said to be gross contra
diction, CT blunder in speech. 1t was de
rived from one Obadiah Bull lawyer in
the time of Henry VIII, who was celebrated,
rather than famous, for the blunders which
fell from his lips when he pleaded before the
judges.
A witty Irlshman, upon being asked for
the definition of bull said; "If you see two
cows lying down alone in the meadow, the
one standing up is invariably bull.n
Miss Edgeworth, in her essay on "Irish
Bulls gives the following: when I first
saw you, thought it was you, and now see
it is your brother 81 met you this morn.

During the Irish rebellion, an Irish paper
published this item; "a man named Nc
Carthy was run over by a passenger train
and killed on Wednesday. He was injured
in a similar way two years ago.
In 1874 the Irish house Of commons issued
an order to this effect; ANY member unable

PRAYING on the Big bridge.

'Do you see that old woman there" said
a bridge policeman who is stationed at the
New York end Of the big aerial thoroughfare
to Brooklyn, the other day. Just watch her
and see what she does.
She was tidily dressed old woman, with
pale. sad face, and she was making her way
slowly through the tangle of trucks, carriages
and pedestrians in Park row, opposite the
bridge entrance She reached the curb at
last and slowly mounted the steps to the
bridge entrance. Instead of following the
crowd to the cars or footway, she went over
to the north wall Of the entrance, where she
stood moment as though meditating. Then
she suddenly llnelt down and with her eyes
closed and her head bowed, began moving her
lips as if in prayer. She was on her knees
but moment, when she got nimbly to her
feet and moved toward the promenade en-
trance, where she paid her cent and started
on foot toward Brooklyn.
Every day at ABOUT this hour that sam,
woman comes here and goes through pre-
cisely that same programme. I asked her
one day when she started away what was the
matter. and she said, Il was only praying
and that is all 1 ever got out Of her. Whether
she is afraid the bridge will fall when she
gets on it, and so prays before setting out on
the dangerous journey, or whether she is in
the habit Of praying at about that time Of
day and finds the bridge entrance nice re
tired spot for religious exercises, I never
could make out. All know is that she
comes every day snd prays every day, and
seems perfectly rational, repecta5le old
body. The fact is that we here on the bridge
do see some queer specimens Of humanity
among the tens of thousands who go by US
every ay.r-New York Sun.

why Men Are Hard to wake.

If a lady guest responds with ever so
faint "Yes" to the morning knock of
the bell boy, she is sure to get up and be
down at breakfast in time. Catching her
train later in the day is another and
quite different matter, but of that l may
not speak, as some of my lady friends
always 90 on 1.-The next train" A bell
boy never lets up on a male guests door
until he gets response, yet in spite Of
this about 10 per cent. of the men come
down stairs behind time, and coolly deny
that they heard or answered the knock.
In comparing the drowsiness of men
with the morning wakefulness of women,
l have thought that some of the reasons
for the difference might be the higher
nervous organization of women, that
makes them more alive when aroused;
that men are more irregular about their
retiring time and hours of sleep than
women, and sleep soundly when they get
started, and lastly that men have easy
consciences, that allow them to 'stand
OFF, the business of the day for the sleep
that at calling time seems to them to be
the one thing worth enjoying. l believe
that many men who rage at the hotel
clerks about not being called are honest

Engllsh wm Not Hare u.

In nothing is the contrast between English

trated than in the readiness which our peo-
pie show for radical changes in the way Of
improved t-avel. A new invention TO expe-
dite the handling Of freight or baggage is at
once caught up here, but in England they
will not even change from the old method OF
checking and rechecking baggage. One large
English road sent across a commission tC
look over our railroad system and report
available improvements. The report favored
our American plan Of checking, but the En-.
glish people will have none Of it. They pre-
fer to see to the delivery Of their baggage to

adherence is our open cars and Pullman
