He Was AStOuishod.

After division of the house of parliar
ment ON motion of Mr.. Fox, Sir George
Young, who had been drinking all day
instead of attending to his parliamentary
duties, insisted on addressing the house,
but, beginning with II am astonished,"
could proceed no further. When hehad
repeated these words seven times, the
house was convulsed with laughter. The
baronet appealed to the speaker, who
pleasantly inquired what he would have
him do. Sir George grew very warm at
this and declared he would not give up
his favorite word, ''for." said he, II re-
ally am astonished, Mr.. Speaker" By
the advice of friends, however, he was
presently prevailed upon, after repeat
ing the word about dozen times more,
to change it to surprised" after which,
''having entirely forgotten what he had
intended to say" he sat down.-Argo-

A Canine Musical Critic.

A wonderful story of French musical
critic is related by persons who profess
to have been acquainted with him, and
who have seen him in attendance on
musical performances. He was dog.
and his name in public was Parade.
Whether he had different name at
home was never known. At the begin
ming of the French revolution he went
every day to the military parade in front
of the Tuileries palace. He marched
with the musicians, halted with them,
listened knowingly to their performances.
and after the parade disappeared, to re-
turn promptly at parade time next day.
Gradually the musicians became at
tached to this devoted listener.
They named him Parade. and one or
another of them always invited him to
dinner. He accepted the invitation and
was a pleasant guest. 1t was discovered
that after dinner he always attended the
theater. where he seated himself calmly
in the corner of the orchestra and lis
tened critically to the music. If new
piece was played, he noticed it instantly
and paid the strictest attention. If the
piece had fine melodious passages, he
showed his Joy to the best of his doggish
ability, but if the piece was ordinary
and uninteresting he yawned, stared
about the theater and Enthusiastically
expressed his disapproval. Manchester

''Gravel weed, by which name they in

bladder root has desirable effect on the

is eficacious for worms in children, for

'Sunfower seeds, STEPPED, strained and
sweetened with molasses will cure the

neuralgia, and a nutmeg, bored and tied
about the neck, will keep it away. The
nutmeg must be renewed about once ev-

Inventors Of Celluloid. :

II was invented in 1869 by two Americans,
the brothers Hyatt, who soon endeavored
20 bring their invention into general use by
establishing works in the state of New Jer-
roy, at Newark. which owes its increase
and prosperity greatly to this industry. In
1e76 the brothers Hyatt introduced their
industry into France, and established q
similar mandatory at Stains, near ST.

where celluloid is made, together with =

An Abscess In tho Church.

There is negro church in Somerville,
and some funny things happen there. It
seems that there was little recess be-
hind the pulpit which was used for the
pastors dressing room. One day in q
heavy rain the fresco fell with a crash
upon the floor. Preparations were made
to repair the damage with the customary
African promptness.
The pastor, however, soon got dis
gusted, and one morning, after getting
his feet covered with the dusty mortar.
he assembled the pulpit. Casting his eye
upon the dusty deacons of the church. he
announced with dignity: "Bredren and
sisters, it GIBBS yo' pastor great pain to
call attention to the state of affairs in dis
yere church: but. bredren. de gospel in
dis yere church must cease to be dis
pensed with till de abscess in de rear OBJ

The fresco was put up next day.-Bos-

Origin Of the Fan.

The following Chinese legend accounts
for the invention Of the fan in q rather
ingenious fashion: 1.-The beautiful Kan
81, daughter of a powerful mandarin. was
assisting at the feast Of lanterns, when
she became overpowered by the heat. She
was compelled to take off her mask. But
as it was illegal to expose her face she
held her mask before it and gently flut-
tered it to cool herself. The court ladies
present noticed it, and in an instant 100
other hands were waving their masks
This was the bath of the fan. which to-
day takes the place Of the mask in Chi

Don't Brog.

There is no more childish trick than
the too common one of boasting. One
encounters it everywhere. particularly
where ones antecedents are not realized
by the listeners. Older people indulge
In it more than their children, who seem
to have keener sense-in this way-of
the ridiculous, and women are far more
prone to it than men. This is, however.
because they care more for the romps
and vanities of this world than do men
in general. If q man has a weakness
for fine things, for swell society and
acquaintances, he is pretty sure to allow
his folly to creep out in the form of
brag. Such folks should serve as object
lessons for their fellows. In that sense
they are of use in the world.

knows how to play the urbane courtier for
policy's sake. He is still handsome man,
for all his "a years, and undoubtedly has a
genuine love for Italy, though it has often
been doubted whether that love included
the Italian people, who have lampooned
him sufficiently to make an ordinary man
detest his species. His fidelity to his friends,
however, has always been accounted one of
his strongest characteristics-as strong IN
its way as his hatred for the Roman church,

Born at Ribera, in Sicily, Oct 1, 1919,
Crispi received a thorough classical educa-
ton, which he augmented by studying law
at Palermo His family is an old one, but
he smiles at the claims of long descent and
says he is of the people and does not believe
that q man can ennoble his descendants.
The Crispis of Ribera came into Sicily from
Albania and were thought to be of Greek
origin. Francesco's grandfather was priest
of the Greek church, and Francesca himself
was baptized in that faith and educated in
one of it's seminaries, though he is now an
avowed atheist.
He was prominent organizer in the rev.
olution of 184s and was one of the deputies
in the Sicilian insurrectionary parliament
and secretary of war in its provisional gov
eminent. On the failure of that revolution
he fed to Paris, where he remained for sew
eral years, keeping up constant correspond
ence with Mazzini, who was then in Eng
land. Napoleon's police drove him out of
the French capital, and he went to London
and with Mazzini concocted the plot that
eventually resulted in the liberation aud
unifcation of Italy. He was with Carl
baldi in his famous expedition to Sicily in
1850 and is said to be entitled to some of
the glory for the success of that enterprise
that has been accorded to the prestige of
the red shirted ''LiOn of the Apennines.

who seemed to be stranger in a strange

room and stared at the blackboard in
open mouthed wonder. One of the smart
young men who hang about the place
began to guy" the stranger and had,
as he thought, great deal of fun. Some
OF the attaches were also greatly amused.
and when the innocent looking visitor
asked for an explanation of the letter
ing of the board it was given with great
deal of gusto.

pointing not overly clean finger.

He was too old in the business

minutes.

$500 more.

What 1t Means to ItaIy-Career of a Re
marIaOle Man.
The return of Signor Crispi to power as
premier of a new ministry was one of the
significant events of modern Italian poll
tics. 1t may be taken for granted that it
would not have occurred if King Humbert
had seen any otberway out of the vexatious
difficulties that beset his reign. Crispi has
never been persona grata to the king, and
Queen Margherita despises him for his
extraordinary marriage complications.
Though state policy required the royal pair
to keep up semblance of cordality during
Crispi's former ministry, it was generally
believed after his downfall that he would
never again be sent for, except rs a last re-
sort.
