Exchanged an Island For q Horse.

In Bantry bay, one Of the finest of the
beautiful bays which indent the Irish
coast, lies the island of WILDLY. 1t
formed part of the property of the Earls
of Bantry-whose family name was
White, and of whom the last has lately
died, SO that the title has become ex-
tinct, and the estates have passed to
nephew.
There is curious tale about the way
in which the Whites became possessed
of WILDLY. The founder of the fortunes
of the house received large grants at
Bantry. On one occasion he met one of
Cromwell's soldiers to whom the island
of WILDLY, which is three miles long,
had been given in lieu of back pay. The
soldier had trudged half way from Cork
to Bantry with his title deeds in his peck
cts, and was weary and tired when
White of Bantry met him. In answer
to Whites inquiries the soldier said he
was going to Bantry on what he feared
was FOOLS errand to take possession Of
WILDLY.
GA FOOLS errand you may we'll call it,"
said White. ''Whiddy is O. rock in the
Atlantic"
The soldier bewailed his fate, and
White, after commissioning with him,
offered his horse in exchange for the title
deeds.
sit will take you back in ease to Cork"
said he, land you are already footsore."
The soldier closed with the bargain,
and White returned home to take pos
session Of an island which is now rented
at thousand year. Thus are fortunes
made.-London Million.

a Wri-,l<Ie For Husbands.

The young wife Of an engineer resid

spend the Easter holidays with her moth
er in Magdeburg an1 appeared so well
satisfied with the change that she pro-
longed her stay, notwithstanding tho
pathetic appeals of her lonesome hus-
band. At last our involuntary grass
widower devised al original plan for in
iucing his little wife to return to her
hearth and home. He got friend Of his

ter stating that her intense longing for
home would no doubt be somewhat nliti-
gated when she saw that the old place
remained as she had left it and that she
could now stay with her mamma as long
as she liked.
The very next train brought my lady
unannounced, greatly excited and ac-
cOmpanied by her mother. Whence this
sudden apparition? The photo in ques-
ton represented our engineer standing
in front of the house and engaged in a
lively conversation with the young lady
next door, whose laughing features We're
distinctly portrayed in the picture. Ex-
plantations followed to the effect that the
whole affair was joke, but madam did

One of the notable oddities Of charac-
ter that distinguish Sarah Bernhardt is
her love of making pets Of all manner of
queer beasts and reptiles, such as would
give the ordinary woman cold chills. It
is an asp, or an alligator, or q horned toad
that she takes to her bosom and lavishes
her sweetest caresses upon, and the Wis
itor to her boudoir is almost sure to get
a succession of short, sharp shocks from
stumbling in dark corners across all
sorts of horrid little beasts. Her fancy
changes much, and on a foreign trip she
is sure to pick uphalf dozen new afro

Troublesome Brides,

Young married people are the most
troublesome customers except babies
that a photographer has, and few pho
tographers like to see couple in their
wedding fnery enter a gallery. The
man never makes any objection, he gen.
orally has trouble enough to keep his
hands out of his pockets, but the bride
seems to consider it part of her duty
to find fault with everything. She will
object to the accessories, to the way the
folds of her dress fall, to the groom's
pose. to the size of her feet and hands
in the negative, to everything and every
body, apparently just to find fault.
Pleasing her is out of the question: so
the photographer generally does the best
he can and lets her grumble.-IHterYiew

English Hatred of Gladstone.

The hatred of Gladstone is almost uni
versal among the upper and upper mid
die classes in England. This hatred,
too, finds expression in a violence of
language which is seldom met with in
any country except during period of
revolution or civil war, and has long
been banished from English social and
political life. Onehears him in the best
circles treated as an old villain, for
whom capital punishment would be too
good, and frantic desire for his death is
openly uttered. That &C. o. NJ stands
for Goods Only Mistake" is one of the
grim jokes of the Conservative clubs,
and old ladies will avow their willing
ness to walk miles with peas in their
shoes to see him hanged. Stories of his
abandoned profigacy are of course not
generally told in public, the subject be-
ing delicate one, but they are a very
prominent part of the Gladstone legend.

Return Of the Orkney TerInni4.

News has reached Kirkwall that the

ance at Deerness, Orkney. The creature
has arrived at the same place now many
years in succession, where it remains all
summer, disappearing in the winter and
returning again with Gne weather. Last
year largo sum of money was offered
for its capture, and sportsmen tried to
kill it. AS it struck out to sea immedi-
ately it was fired at and was never
again seen till now, it was thought it
had been wounded or killed. Natural
lists who have got a full description Of
the mermaid think it is an ocean seal,
but the people Of Deerness, who have
watched it closely for years, say it has
few If any Of the seals habits, and main
tain it swinls like q human being. At
the present time it may be observed
daily, being very partial to bright sun
shine, but it rarely appears On dull days.

Prince and Station master.

The death Of Mr.. Henry Farnham, who
was for many years station master at
Takeley, one Of tho village stations on
the Great Eastern Railway companys
Witham, Braintree and Bishops Stort-
forl branch line, recalls an amusing in
cident III which the Prince of Wales
played leading part. A few years ago
the prince and a party Of distinguished
guests alighted at Takeley for the pur-
pose of visiting Lord and Lady Brooke
at Easton Lodge, Essex. By some
means the Prince of Wales became de-
tached from the rest of the party, and
did not reach the barrier until few
minutes after the others had passed.
Mr.. Farnham was doing duty as ticket
collector, and not then knowing the
prince he promptly accosted him with
"Ticket, please
The prince mentioned that he was one
of Lord Brooke's party. The station
master was not, however, satisfied with
the statement, and he firmly refused to
allow his royal highness to pass unless
he produced ticket Or furnished his
name and address. Satisfactory expla-
nations were eventually forthcoming,
and the prince was permitted to rejoin
the party. Though somewhat embar-g
raised when he learned the princes iden-
tity, the station master was not greatly
perturbed. Indeed he received the in
telligence with the philosophical ques-
ton, ''Why didn't he tell me that he
was the Prince of Wales?' His royal
highness heartily enjoyed the incident.
His royal highness seldom visits Easton
Lodge without being reminded iocularly
of his attempt to ride without ticket. 4
