Sir Edwin Arnold tells the following
story of a visit to Hawarden: Dining re-
Gently in the company of the distinguished
pair, Mrs. Gladstone said to me: i com-
mission you, Sir Edwin, tonight to keep
my husband from talking to the opposite
side of the table. He has n great speech
to make soon, and his voice is a little
hoarse with a hardly departing cold. En-
gage him as much as you can in a wits.
pered conversation
Never did a faithful person more ear
nestly devote himself to a duty than | to
that. cheerfully allowed my turtle soup
TO grow cold, and took little or no notice
of a delicious m~ayonnaise while | humbly
sought to lead the thoughts and talk of
Mr.. Gladstone into paths which thought
would be most alluring. In the moment
of apparent success somebody dropped on
the other side of the table the remark that
the Phenicians were a Semitic people The
webs | had woven around my eminent
prisoner were broken like spider threads.
"He flew with quick intellectual swoop
at the theorist, for he seems to hold the
view that the Phunicians were of another
stock, and all | could do was to turn to
Mrs. Gladstone and p%enitently beat my
breast, while she smiled a gentle forgive
ness, and MI. Gladstone, as is his splendid
custom, prenait la parole and kept it, 80
the delight and profit of the whole table,"

The canon and IN. Lawver-

The point,of the following story lies in
the important part whichthe ''threepenny
bit" plays in church collections in Eng
land. Canon Blank was having a friendly
game of pool at the squire's, and one of
his opponents was Wigsby, the barrister.
The canon lost a life" and took from his
pocket a threepenny piece to pay for it,
which he placed on the edge of the table.
"t0h," said Wigsby, 81 see, canon, you
have had your finger in the platter The
canon drew himself up to his full height
Ia good six feet}, and looking the man of
the law full in the face, said, Pm sUr-
prised that you, Mr.. Wigsby, in the pres
ence of this respectable company, have the
audacity to recognize your own paltry con
tributionl'-San Francisco Argonaut.

To Keep Trains on the Track.

A device to prevent engineers from pass.
ing curves and other difficult points at too
great speed has been invented by a French
engineer. 1t consists of a tuning fork pro.
vided with a point which inscribes a curve
on the smoked surface of a cylinder re
volved by a suitable mechanism. The in.
strument is fixed at any desired part of
the line, and as the train passes the mech
anism is set in motion, the wheels of the
engine stopping the revolution of the de
vice as they leave the curve.-Aew York

American Band Instruments.

The manufacture of brass wind instru-
ments in America was begun about 1885,
but the few bands then in the country
constituted the market to be relied upon.
American bands, and the spread of the
cCrnet and other brass instruments among
private parties, which increased after the
war period, helped to maintain a few small
manufactures devoted to the cheaper va
riety Until about the great Centennial ex-
hibition year, when Henry Distin, son Of
John Distin, removed from England and
began to manufacture instruments in the
United States.
The Distins had been previously in bust
ness in London for a great many years and
had won a leading place in that sphere.
Henry Distin's arrival here practically es-
tablished that industry in this country. a
notable sign of the progress going forward
in this art and industrial channel is the
town of Elkhart, Ind, the mainstay of
which is a manufactory devoted to mill

DociIe Persian Horses.

Persian horses are to be admired and
liked. Their beauty is a source of con
slant enjoyment, and they are almost in
variably gentle and docile. 1t is in vain to
form any resolution against making a pet
of one of them.
My new acquisition, Boy, insists on
being petted, and his enticing ways are ir'
resistible. He is always tethered in front
of my tent with a rope long enough to give
him considerable liberty, and he took ad
vantage of it the very first day to come into
the tent and make it apparent that be
wanted me to divide a melon with him.
Grapes were his preference, then came
cucumbers, bread and biscuits. Finally
he drank milk out of a soup plate.
He comes up TO me II puts down his
head to have his ears rubbed, and if do
not attend to him at once, or if | cease at.
tending TO him, he gives me a gentle but
~admonitory thump.
/ dine outside the tent, and he is tied to
my chair and waits with wonderful pa.
tience for the odds and ends, only occasion,
ally rubbing his soft nose against my face
to remind me that he is there.
A friendly shuttle is the only sound he
makes. He does not know how to fight, or
that teeth and heels are for any other use
than eating or walking.
He is really the gentlest and most docile
of his race. The point at which he draws
the line is being led; then he drags back,
and a mulish look comes into his sweet
eyes. But he follows like a dog, and when
! walk he is always with me.
He comes when | call him, stops when ]
do, accompanies me when | leave the road
in search of flowers and usually puts his
head either on my shoulder or under my
arm. To him | am an embodiment of mel

biscuits and sugar, with a good deal of
petting and ear rubbing thrown in.-Mrs.
Bishop in Journeys in Persia"

Curbstone engagements.

A large proportion of the theatrical en-
gagements of the year are made on the
c~urbstones. "A curbstone engagement" is
a new expression among the ''profesh,"
and is likely to become a permanent one.
1t means that the player was taken from
the Broadway ~curbs-picked up in a hurry
though not a few comedians lat liberty"
term their days of idleness a ''curbstone
engagement" Whatever the most appro-
pirate application of the term, it is a Gu
rious fact that great numbers of theatrical
engagements are entered into season after
season on the Broadway flags. Any man
ager who needs a player suddenly, and can
not at the moment decide whether this or
that man is to be had, can take a stroll on
the west side of the strand any nice day
and chance the curbstones with fair pros

Nothing in the entire field of sportsman
