she certainly ought to keep out of
politics. AS a citizen of England she
has no right to be elected President of

AT a dinner not long ago Wilkie
Collins related instances proving how
impossible it was to introduce into a
novel descriptions of places and things
wholly imaginary. In one of his works
he described u house which he had
never seen, and which was entirely the
offspring of his Imagination. A few
days after the publication man called
upon him to protest against the intro
duction of his house into his novel.
Strange to say, the pages OF the novel
contained a perfect description of the
mans property. At another time he
used as one of his characters u man
who was so exact about his eating that
lie weighed every morsel which ell
tered his stomach. Mr.. Collins had in
reality never heard of such IL man. He
was greatly surprised, one week after
the appearance of his book, by the visit
of an utter stranger, who wished to
know by what right Mr.. Collins made
him ridiculous in print by mentioning
one of his peculiarities.

was the recipient of many congratulations
from his numerous friends, and at the same
time not few were enviOus of his good for

offered Dalquist SD, 500 for his little slip of

he has done. As soon as he can make ar
engagements he viii at once proceed to Fin

Crawford I need hardly say that the
fire fiend with his forked tongue was
already licking his chops as we arrived,
Inspectors Williams and Steers were

asked "HOw's tricks ?" We all con-

fire, and 1 spoke Of it several time as

Inspector Williams and Inspector
GERS afterward told me that they did
not care a continental for fine word

By and by I asked Inspector Will

Steers. 1t was finally arranged that I

Just then a rOundsman named ORC rke

doing inside the lines, meantime help
ing himself to some of the dark meat
inside the sleeve of my coat.
He was rough IN his treatment, lsdt
I was so much the taller of the two
that he could not club me, having for
gotten to bring his step-ladder with
him. His language was earnest and yet
highly Ornamented. He spoke in the
patOis of the canaille of Limerick. He
now jerked me to and fro and rudely
hustled me. Inspectors Steers and
Williams both saw it all, as I after
ward learned, but whenever I looked
ard them they were earnestly ok
ing at the fire. So were AIessrs. CIaw-

I told Sig. O'ROurke that I came of a
good family, and though I had been in
side the lines I had not been rObbing
dead But he was excited and flushed,
intoxicated by his own breath, no
doubt, and so he hustled me some more.
The immense crowd seemed to enjoy it,
and 1 heard a newsbOy say, "Yay,

and one would have thought that the
cop would have let me alone, but he
kept on cOnversing with me till one of
the newspaper men came up and talked
to Don Giovanni O'ROurke in a way that
made my blood run cold. I the es-

Enc Intoxication.

The curious habit of taking ether as
an intoxicant is becoming dangerously
prevalent in the north of Ireland. The
resident physician of Londonderry
Lunatic Asylum states that quite a
number of cases of insanity have been
produced by the constant use of his
drug. One wholesale druggist in Dub
lin sends hundreds of pounds worth
north every year. On account of its
extreme volatility the intoxication it
produces is so transient that a person
may get gloriOusly drunk and become
completely sober in a couple Of hours.
But the reaction, though at first i'm
percep6ble, is apparently cumulative
IN its results, and ultimately leads to
mental arrangement. One well-k3own
gentleman, incredulOus of its effects
recently took a dram and got so drunk
that he broke a window In his ethereal
exuberance of spirits, and but FOR the
kind Offices of a friend would have
