Mr.. Labouchere's Questions;

In the British house Of commons yesterday
Mr.. Henry Labouchere asked what truth there
was in the statement, semi-officially published
in EOpinione Of Rome, that there was definite
entente that the English and Italian navios
would act together in the event of war with
France, and also that year ago, when French
attack on Spezzia was feared, the British Med
iterranean squadron was held in readiness to
assist Italy.
Right Hon. Sir James Ferguson, parliament
tary secretary o. the foreign Office, In reply to
Mr.. Laboucheres interrogation, stated that the
action of the government in case Of war between
France and Italy would be guided by circum-
stances. England was under no engagement
lettering her liberty. The government never
had any grounds to attribute to France pratt
cal design to try to capture Spexzia.

A Drowned Mans Shirt.

August Melching was drowned in the Co.
dorus creek while swimming. His body could
not be found for some time, when one of the
searchers suggested that his shirt be thrown
into the water, claiming that it would float
to where the body was. The suggestion was
acted on and the garment thrown into the
water where it was thought that he had dis
appeared. 1t instantly shot out, then stopped,
crcled about short time and in another
moment disappeared under the water.
A young man present on the creeks bank
then dived to where the shirt was seen to sink
and found the body of tho young man where
the shirt had disappeared. The singulasity
of the incident consists in the fact that the
shirt was found clinging to the dead mans
body. Two gentlemen who were on opposite
sides of the creek at the time this occurred
corroborate the truthfulness of the incident
This gives credence to the ancient idea that
the clothing of a drowned man when thrown
into the water will float to the body.-York

Bashful Originality.

An unppen.ediitated and bashful compli-
ment is often the most tiatterlng. 4 young
lady, who had gone to spend a summer with
some country relatives, found it difficult to
get on with one cousin, a boy Of 16, who was
SO shy that any chance remark directed to
him served to plunge him into dire embarrass-
nlent
One morning she proposed driving to town
with him, and on the way the conversation
waxed quite fourishing-a least on one side.
Presently a pause ensued, and the young
lady became aware that her companion had
turned and was regarding her hair, which
was of the closely curling variety, lying in
small, deep waves.

Some Famous Suicides.

The following are some Of the more noted
suicides of which mention is made in history.
These do not SAVIOR much of insanity, but
rather of stole philosophy:
Cato stabbed himself rather than live under
the despotic reign of Caesar; Themistocles
poisoned himself rather than lead the Per-
slams against his countrymen; Zeno, when
9s, hung himself because he had put his finger
out Of joint, and Hannibal and Mithridates
poisoned themselves to escape being taken
prisoners. When we search Scripture we
find that Saul, rather than fall into the hands
of the Philistines, commanded his armor bear
er to hold his sword that he might plunge upon
it; Samson, for the sake of being revenged
upon his enemies, pulled down the house in
which they were reYeling, and ''died with
them" and Judas Iscariot, after selling the
Saviour for thirty pieces Of silver. was over
come by remorse ''and vent and hanged
himself. Chicago Tribune.

"Don't write there" said ono to a lad who
was scratching with a diamond pin on pane

There are other things we should not do
for the same reason-because we cannot rub
them out. This person is lonely. depressed,
in sorrow, and needs sympathy Instead, a

impression is made which is more durable
than that of diamond on glass; Break the

LITTLE BOY BLUE.

ULder the haystack little Boy Blue
Sleeps with his head on his arm,
While voices of men and voices of maids
Are calling him over the farm.
Sheep in the meadows are running wild
Where poisonous heritage grows,
Leaving white tufts of downy fleece
On the thorns Of the sweet wild rose.
Out in the fields where the silken corn
Its plumed head mods and blows,
Where the golden pumpkins ripen below,
Trample the white faced cows
But no loud blast on the shining horn
Calls back the straying sheep
And the COWS may wander in hay or corn
While the keeper lies asleep.
His roguish eyes are tightly shut,
His dimples are all at rest;
The chubby hand, tucked under his head,
By one rosy cheek is pressed
Waken him? No. Let down the bars
And gather the truant sheep;
Open the barnyard and drive in the cows;
But let the little boy sleep.
For year after year we can shear the fleece,
And corn can always be sown;
And the sleep that visits little Boy Blue
Will not come when the years have flown.

dearth Of small boys wha wauld like to be like

with number of little fellows about it, and
all have agreed that they couldn't be induced
to wear their hair long, to wear girls hat

when it comes to introducing the salient fear

Be Gracious.

The possessor of an ungracious manner will
never come up to the standard of a true gen
tleman or gentlewoman, although possibly
well born and well educated. The sensation
of insecurity and of being on the lookout for
some ill judged speech dissipates that safe and
calm atmosphere which surrounds the truly
refined. There is always nervous dread of
what may come next, and feeling of con-
straint is generated. Persons who are much
in the society of the ungracious foster insen-
sibly guarded carefulness as to topics likely
to call forth show of 'ungraciousness and a
cautious manner of feeling their way on sub
