Augustine Brohau.

One day on leaving the stage Au
gustine Brohan happened to heal
two fellow artists discussing a sub
iect which seemed to be extremely
engrossing. On questioning them as
to the topic of conversation:
1--WE are speaking of the creation,
they said.
II was not living at that time,
she answered, smiling. And then
added, with a very serious face,
You had better ask Nine. Allan
about it,"
This lady, who was one of her RI
vals on the stage, was often the OBJ
iect of her jokes. OF course Angus
tine Brohan had many adversaries
at the Comedie Franchise. The un-
sparing nature of her wit and her
brilliant success as an artist were
sufficient to give rise to petty quar-
rels. She used her power of repartee
to rid herself of her assailants.
On one occasion one of them came
to her and said laughingly, as if she
had joke to tell:
"My dear, let me tell you some
stupid thing to make you laughT

Dean Swift as IN Autocrat.

Partly from respect for his abilities,
partly from the actual value of his
assistance, partly from amusement
at the novelty of the thing, the great
world surrendered itself as to con-
queror. Dean Swift never fattered.
When told that the Duke of Buck
ingham desires his acquaintance, he
answers that the duke has not made
sufficient advances to him yet. When
asked to dinner party by secre-
tary of state, he insists upon draw
ing up a list of the company. Even
ladies have to bow beneath the yoke.
However beautiful, wealthy or high
born, they must always appear as
suppliants for DIR. Swift's acquaint-
ance. Even then his rule is far from
easy.
Lady Burlington" says he, II
hear you can sing. Sing me a song"
Her ladyship resents such an uncere-
monious address and refuses. "Why,
madam, says Swift, II suppose you
take me for one of your poor English
hedge parsons. Sing, when l bid
you" AS Lord Burlington only
laughs, the lady bursts into tears
and leaves the room. This does not
soften Swift. He meets her few
days after, Pray, madam, are yoll
SO proud and i'll natured now as when

mans fascination is SO strong that

The Virus of Bees.

AVienna scientist has made a series
of interesting experiments with the
virus of such insects as bees and
wasps and comes to the conclusion
that the effectiveness of the irritat-
ing substance depends largely upon
the mood of the insect. A drop of
the fluid taken from the poison bag
of a dead hornet, for instance, pro-
duces a slight itching. but nothing
resembling the Inflammation caused
by hornets sting with a much
smaller quantity of the same virus
This theory is supported by the curl
GUS fact that under the influence of
rage the saliva of all sorts of other
wise harmless animals can become
virulent enough to produce alarming
and even fatal symptoms. Death by
blood poisoning has more than once
resulted from the bite of a wounded
squirrel, a chipmunk or Gagged rat.

Richard and Dorothy Townsend in

bers were once among the principal
gentry of the west of England; yet,

used to lay the coins in rows on the

One day friend met him and said,

OCEAN TROLLEY.
Latest Plan to Send Great Ships Spinning
ths. 600

Latest Plan to Send Great Ships Spinnin,
Across the Sea.
1t is pretty well understood thai
the limit of speed in ocean steamers
is about reached if the present mod
els are adhered to, and that if there
is to be any gain in swiftness it must
be by the trial of a new form. The
difficulty is to devise a vessel of
which the structural strength shall
be great enough to carry the mass
i've engines requisite for increased
speed and at the same time to resist
the force of the ocean storms. If the
sea were calm, there would be no
difficulty in increasing the speed of
the ocean greyhounds, but with
the tremendous force of waves and
storms it is not possible to do this
with the present models
1t is not impossible that the solu
ton of the problem lies in the sub
marine ship and that the passenger
steamer of the future will go under
water instead of across its surface
The advance made in the planning
and working of submarine boats in
the last 10 years makes this seem not
wholly impossible, as it must have
looked once, and there is no doubt
that the freedom from the effects
of surface storms would allow
swiftness which could hardly be ar
rived at on the surface. 1t might
also solve the question of seasick.
ness, as it is probable that submarine
locomotion would be much smoother
and less disturbing to the stomach
than the present method of travel
ing. All that one can say, however,
is that we shall see what we shall
see.
Perhaps the steamer of the future
will be operated on a trolley by
means of assubmarine cable. The
advantages of this plan would be
great, as it would prevent the neces-
sity of carrying immense quantities
of fuel and of keeping the vessel
loaded down with enormous engines.
ALI the delay and difficulty and ex.
pense of managing furnaces and en-.
gines on board ship would be done
away with by the oceanic trolley
system, and the ship could be made
SO much lighter that it could go
whizzing across the ocean in couple
of days. Danger of accident could
be brought to be no greater than it
is at present by having a sufficient
number of repair steamers on the
route, which could keep the cables in
repair, and in case of any accident to
the trolley could bring the passenger
boat into port or put it again in con
nection with the cable.
There can be no question that the
proper means of crossing the At
lantic quickly is by some system
which will allow the motive power
to be applied from the shore, either
by trolley or a cable. The limit of
speed for ships that carry engines
and fuel is certainly practically
reached on the surface, and there are
difficulties in the way of submarine
navigation which it would be hard
to conquer. The trolley system is
capable of great extension, and we
may yet live to go to Europe by its
ns.-Doston Courier.
