Historical Incidents That Relieved tho To-

The house of commons now scruples to
adjourn on account of Derby day. but in
early times it INDUCED in holiday upon
occasions which modern readers must
consider still more strangely inadequate.
Horace Walpole mentions in his MEM
oirs that in March, 1851. the house
adjourned to attend at Drury Lane
theater, where Othello was to be acted
by Mr.. Dclaval and his family.
Again in February, 1881, bill intro
duced by Mr.. Burke with reference
to the civil list was read for the first
time, but the second reading was de-
ferred to that day fortnight, because
the 21st was to be feast day and the 22d

vorite French dancer at the opera"
Even when in session the house was
much given to ampse itself with petty or
frivolous Incidents, as Is shown by some
singular entries preserved in the official
records. Under date May, 1904, it is
noted that jackdaw few in at the win

apparently it proved bad omen for the
bill in debate, as the measure was soon
afterward rejected. Again we are told
by the veracious state chronicler that
in May, 1914, "a dog came into the
house, strange spaniel, mouse colored."
About ITO years later it is recorded
that another canine intruder entered the
house, taking his seat before the speaker
and all the government. Not content to
remain silent spectator, the dog joined
in the proceedings by barking loudly.
Lord North, then prime minister, was
speaking and jocularly appealed to the
speaker, saying, "Sir, am interrupted

The dog unabasl1ed did not take the
hint, but resumed his barking, where

There are two men in this city who

homes free men. The governor had be-
come satisfied that they were innocent
men, wrongfully convicted, and had
pardoned them.
The reading of fiashy novel by one
of the convicts while lounging In the
corridors Of the prison led to an investi-
cation which convinced great many
influential persons in this city that two
men had been railroaded to prison-one
for fifteen years and the other for eight
cen years-simply because Of lack Of
proper legal defense. The reader of the
novel was so impressed by the exu.

the narrative that he made up his mind
that the authoress, for it was q woman'd
story, must be very soft hearted.

Eggs In the Nest of the Pelican.

Ihave been informed that the brown
pelicans steal eggs from one another's
nests in order to fill their compliments,
or at least take possession Of those they
find lying on the ground and roll them
into their nests. Although this does not
seem at all likely for various reasons,
cannot dispute it authoritatively, and,
moreover, there were strong proofs that
such was the case in many nests that
examined in Florida. These nests,
which were near together, often con-
tanned four eggs, never more, one to
three Of which were ready to hatch, the
Others being fresh or nearly SO.

While nights drear shadows creep
