Short Bills Passed by Parliament.

Short Bills Passed by Parliament.
The shortest bills ever introduced
which became acts of parliament were
the following: 9 Henry III Chapter 6
of Magma Charta), containing four
words only Natin), which in English
made six, namely: Heirs shall be mar
ried without disparagement." Edward
I, THE king commandeth that from
henceforth neither fairs nor markets be
kept in churchyards for the honor Of
tho church." Edward III, ut is 40
corded that the plea Of non-claim Of
fine which from henceforth shall be
levied shall not be taken for any bar In
time to come" This last bill and
statute had reference to a method of
barring an estate tail. Nj. Gladstone
introduced a bill into the house of COM
mons and an act Of parliament was
passed changing the "District Chapelry
Of Kirkthwaite" into the "District
Chapelry of Cowgirl" and this is pos
sibly the shortest bill of the present

What the Experienced Traveller Gains By
Contact With People.
To correctly estimate the real worth
there is nothing like getting away from
home, and being thrown upon ones own
resources among entire strangers.
The friends among whom man has
been reared are rarely ever capable Of
judging him fairly. They either criti-
else him unjustly or overestimate his
worth. The stranger views him with I'M
prejudiced eyes; he perceives his foibles
is cogn Zant of his faults, and has no
knowledge OF latent virtue, which might
make him slow TO condemn and ready to
excuse. The wise traveller comprehends
this, and, not because he is hypocrite,
but because it is required of him, is in

They may be divided into two general

The Only Visible Remains o. the GLACIERS OF
the Remote Past.
Wherever the glaciers melted they
left an immense amount of drift" that
is sand, gravel and stone of all sorts,
which had been frozen N the ice when
the GLACIERS were forming.
The stones of this drift are of all
sizes Some are as small as pebbles
others as large as small houses There
is one at Bradford, Mass, which meas
ures thirty feet each way and weighs
four and half million pounds There
is another on a ledge in Vermont which
is even larger than that and which
must have been carried by the ice across
a valley lying five hundred feet below
where the stone now is, showing that
the ice was five hundred feet thick.
Great powders OF trap-rock extend
through Connecticut on a line running
to Long Island Sound, and as some of
the same kind are found in Long Island
the glacier is believed to have crossed
the Sound, carrying these rocks with
it An immense statue of Peter the
Great in St Petersburg stands on one
of these glacier powders of solid granite.
which weighs three million pounds.
One of the largest powders in America
is in the Indian village of Mohegan,
near Montville, Conn. The In
dams call the rock ''tShehegan-" Its
top, which is fat and as large as the
floor of good sized room, is reached by
a ladder.
Sometimes these powders are found
perched upon bare lodges of rock so
nicely balanced that though of great
weight they may be rocked by the
hand They are called ''rocking-stones."
Near the little Connecticut village of
Noank, on Long Island Sound, there is
an immense bowlder called by the peo-
