A Political Fisherman.

In Canada the rancor of political
party feeling is extreme, for 'The
smaller the rat-pit the keener the
fight" The parties call one another
"Tories" and "Grits." Judging by
their respectivenewspaper the Tories
should all be Jailed for plundering the
Dominion, and the Grits banished for
reviling their country. Yet, as among
other English-speaking people the
man who talks as if he would like, to
boil all of the opposite factionin soil,
usually on the best private terms with
many of them. A Canadian cores
pondent gives this instance:
Captain Van Flack, who owns the
net fisheries at the mouth of the Vot-
tawasaga River, is an out-and-out
Grit, and humorist in the bargain.
One day, when the take of fish had
been small, he took to vilifying the
Tories before politically mixed COM
pany.
Tories were, he said, all thieves,
drunkards, fools, and what was worse,
they let "the Yankees" destroy the
lake fisheries! None of the Tories
present ventured to expostulate with
the angry captain.
When he had cooled down some one
happened to mention the name of
Christopher Robinson, an eminent
lawyer of Toronto. Van Flack at
cnce began eulogizing Robinson. New
er was there a better lawyer, or an
honester, kinder man!
..Rut- Christopher Robinson is a
Tory" said bystander.
Eyes" said Van Flack, looking be-
wildered for moment. eyes, he's g.
Tory. Sometimes you do find q
speckled trout amongst a boat-load
of suckers"

Attacking a Brood of Lions.

A correspondent of the London
Graphic narrates an incident on. the
Limpopo River, the northern bound
airy of the Transvaal. One of his
drivers was Hottentot named Cigar,
and though the roads were heavy he
had to hurry on, time being an object,
not even halting for the usual siesta
in the middle of the day.
But one day the bullocks stopped
suddenly and refused to advance
further. The Hottentot's experience
told him that there was something
ahead that frightened the oxen, so,
Selling his whip, he went forward to
reconnoitre. He was not long in dis
covering the cause of the trouble
namely, a splendid couple of lions,
with their cubs, enjoying a midday
snooZe.
Without hesitation he measured
with his eye the distance, then raising
his giant OK whip brought it down
among them with succession of cracks
that rivaled the report of gun. Thus
abruptly awakened neither of the par
ents stopped to learn who had dis
turbed them, but bounded off into the
adjoining jungle, closely followed by
their progeny.

WONDERFUL COINCIDENCE.

How Or. Mayo Astonished His SUI
perIor officer.
DIR. Mayo, the welEknown author of
"Kaloolah." tells the following story:
Some years ago he was acting as Sur
geon on board the United States ship
of war Cyane. The vessel was in mid
ocean, when craft in full sail, but SO
low down the horizon as to be scarce
ly visible with the naked eye, was de-
scribed. Trying to make out the
stranger with his spy glass, the Cap.
tain said: t
81 wonder what that vessel can be?"
DIR. Mayo, who was one of q group
of officers about the Captain, spoke
up and said: ~#
"Oh, that's the Josiah Quincy of
Boston,"
The Captain turned, looked at the
doctor in an astonished sort of way,
and then proceeded once more togaze
through his spy glass, while the Others
went below to the wardroom.
~ say, DOCTOR" said senior Lieu
tenant, you'll find it a mistake to
guy our commander. He has no
more notion of humor than billy
goat, and he doesn't approve of jokes"
DIR. Mayo only smiled, but he felt a
little nervous about it himself, for OF
course, he no more knew the name of
the vessel sighted than he did that of
the man in the moon.
An hour later the stranger was APP
preached almost within sailing dis
tance. She was barkrigged and EVIL
IDENTIFY loaded heavily with some kind
of merchandise. But as the Cyane
passed her she went off on fresh tack,
and the captain could read her name
through his glass on her stern. 1t was
"Josiah Quincy of Boston"
"H- and blazes!" exclaimed the
astonished commander. Then turn
ing to the doctor, he said: GLOW on
earth could you know"
"Merely by the cut of her jib, sir"
replied DR.. Mayo, calmly, and he
didn't even admit in the wardroom
that his guess had been merely the
first name that came into his mind.
Since that slime he has firmly believed
that nothing is too strange to be re-
ferred to as Notwithstanding
ton Star.

The National CAPITAL,

The City of Washington is an object of
perennial interest to all patriotic Ameri-
cans. Not alone because it is the great
throbbing heart of the mightiest and grand
est Republic the earth has ever known, but
also on account of its material magnif-
cence. All Americans take pride in its
beautiful avenues, ma este architecture,
stately homes. and we'll stored galleries and
museums as things of grandeur and beauty
in themselves, apart from the historic in
terest with which they are invested 1t is
a hope and aspiration of all "YoUNG AMER
ICA," at least, to some time or other visit
the Capital of his country.
The Baltimore and Ohio r. r. offers un-
equalled facilities in aid of this desire. All
its through trains between New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore on the east, and
Pittsburg Cincinnati, st. Louis and Chicago
on the west, pass through Washington.
Its fast Express trains are vestibuled from
end to end and heated with steam. Pull
mans latest and best productions in the
way of sumptuous Drawing Room Sleep
ing cars are attached to all its through
trains. The present management of the
B. &. o. have mad vast Improvements in
the last two years, and the road is to day
one of the foremost passenger carrying lines
in the country. Through tickets via B. &
o. r. r. can be procured at all the princi-
pal ticket offices through the United States.

Didn't Know His Own Language.

The deplorable ignorance of foreign
ers was conspicuously displayed the
other day in certain town. The
keeper OF the principal shop has aspr-
ations for his daughter, and sent her
to several boarding and finishing
schools till she was, in her fond fathers
eyes, brimful OF knowledge ofthe most
unimpeachabIe character. Hebelieved
her to be possessed ofunlimited wis
dom, and proudly told friend how
she played, sang, danced, and what a
number of languages she spoke.
"But how ignorant them foreigners
isl" he observed. "Why there was a
Frenchman down here last week, and
my gal was talking to him for an hour
or more, and tell you half the time
he could not make out what she was
saying! Theman didn't know his own
language"

Headache and Other Aches Lurking
s-.- In Ones Hat.
DIR. J. F. Geisler, of New York, some
time ago bought hat which caused
him more than the average amount OF
discomfort. After time the hat was
accidently exposed to an atmosphere
containing sulphuretted hydrogen,
and discoloration of the sweat-band
was noticed. which on examination
was found'to be due to the formation
of sulphide of lead. The discoloration
was darker in places where the per-
spiration had accumulated and dried.
Careful analysis of the sweat-band
showed it to contain no less than
O.8585 grains of lead per inch, 37.548
grains for the whole band. The COM
pound used was apparently white lead,
of which the quantities of lead named
indicates LOGS grains per square inch,
or 46.992 grains for the entire band.
DR.. Geisler gives the discomforting
assurance that white lead and litharge
are frequently used in connection with
boiled oil to give leather a glossy fin
isb. Some sweat-bands contain more
of the compound than others, and al
so in different combinations, rendering
some more injurious than others

Justifies the Name.

An instructor in natural history
who believes that it is better to deliver
little lectures to his pupils than to
let them get their knowledge out of
books, talked to them thus one day
on the subject of the hog:
'"The hog, my young friends, is,
from the point of view of food. the
most important of animals tic the
human race. There is no part of his
structure which has not some aliment=
airy or industrial use; even his bristles
are used in the manufactures. .-
But from the point of view of char
aeter and mode of life, it must be con-
iessed that he possesses certain habits
and dispositions which fully justify
his nainel

Noverber DIscovariae

This is a somewhat remarkable month
for discoveries beneficial to mankind, and
the influence of which continues widening
for good.
November 81, 1902, the use and benefit of
the ships compass was discovered, and as
without it safe ocean navigation would
have been impossible, 1t may be called the
parent of all geographical discoveries that
have been made since that time.
November IL, 1897, the Cape of Good
Hope was discovered, and then was opened
to European commerce waterway to the
treasures of the Orient. Previous to that
date, trade between the East and West was
done by the slow and often painful progress
of the caravan.
November 26, 177s, the Sandwich Islands
were discovered, and this has been boon
to Pacific ocean navigators as a coaling
and provisioning station. 1t ought to be-
long to the United States, and may some
day be annexed by Uncle Sam.
Thanksgiving Day, too, was discovered
in New England during this month, some
two hundred years ago, and the people of
the Northwest have discovered that to

Degrees in a Thermometer.

Howma people who look at o
Fahrenheit thermometer know why it
is divided in 212 degrees between the
zero and boiling point2 It is fairly
wellknown that Fahrenheit establish
ed his zero at what he believed to be
absolute cold produced by a mixture
of ice and salt. Ten THOUSAND vol

other Fahrenheit hit upon this fact,
hence his scale.
