Man Trap, and Spring Guns.

Man traps and spring guns are no
longer allowed to be set in England
for poachers, as of old, their use, eX-
cept within a dwelling house for its
protection, being punishable by i'm
prisonment Man traps for cruelest
brutality rank with the instruments
of torture of the middle ages, one be-
longing to the writer being z feet
long with teeth 81 inches deep on
each side of its grip, which is IS
inches long, with spring at each
end, so that once stepped on and
sprung it would either break or most
terribly lacerate the legs, and its
strength and weight of 40 pounds
would hold its victim like rat in a
trap.
They were made of various pat
terms, some being less cruel than
others and having no teeth, but
merely holding the poacher as in a
wise until the keeper released him.
A lady who was once caught in one
of these when wandering in a wood
never forgot her alarming expert
ence. Dog traps We're also used for
the poachers' dogs as well as for
themselves. Spring guns worked on
a pivot from which were stretched
wires in several directions, so that
the gun swung around and dis
charged toward whichever wire was
pushed against, probably greatly in
juring the poacher and most certain
ly arousing the keepers.

Dramatic Banquets.

Joe jefferson told story the other
evening which rather let in a light
on stage realism.
In some play he was performing
years ago, the scene called for re-
freshments, and several illusions
were made to the ice cream, which
was supposed to be in one of the
dishes and looked good enough toeat.
The property man who attended to
the details of the stage feasts also
played a small part-a servant.
He had to bring on lighted can
die and place it on the supper table,
He had looked upon the wine when
it was red, or beer when it foamed !;
at any rate was under some sort of
alcoholic influence, the effect of
which led him to so miscalculate in
vision that he dropped the light into
the dish and set fire to the ice cream,
which was made of cotton batting.
knew before that stage wine was
usually cold tea, and that ginger ale
or soda water passed for anything
that sparkled, while sliced apple is a
favorlte dish for theatrical banquets.
Thinly sliced smoked beef, too,
looks hearty for heavy meals and is
greatly used for dramatic dinners as
it looks snowy and is not too filling

The Waltz.

1t was Lady Jersey who introduced
it, and when later the Emperor Alex
ander visited London, an army of for
eigners gave a strong impetus to the
movement. Its great popularity gave
rise to many disputes as to whence
the waltz originally came, whether
from the old Provencal La Sau-
teuse," or "Volte," or the German
national dance, the ''Laendler. It
is most universally ascribed to the
last named. The ''Laendler" was
under the ban of the authorities as
being dangerous to both health and
morals, but in spite of prohibition it
made its way to Vienna, where it
was introduced in the opera Una
Casa Rara," by Vincente Martens.
The character of the dance was,
however, greatly changed and modi-
fed, the tempo being much accel-
Grated. From Vienna it quickly
passed to France. DR.. Burney saw
it performed in Paris in 17S0 and
could not help rejecting, "how un-
easy an English mother would feel to
see her daughter SO familiarly treat
ed and still more to note the obliging
manner in which the freedom is re-
turned by the females"
Had he lived few years longer,
the good old doctors sense of deco
rum would have received shock in
the welcome accorded to the dance
by English women.-All the Year

An Indignant Juage.

Judge Falconbridgei is one who does
not conceal his disgust at the action
of the people who go to law over tri-
fles. While the case of Lackie ver-
sus Lount was being tried at the Lon
don (Ont. assizes the defendant gave
evidence, and the judge remarked:
Suppose this old lady, who is 50
years of age, was asking what you
considered a little too much, don't
you think it would have been just as
well to have given it to herr 1t was
only the use of couple of acres of
land at best for a short time" To
this the defendant did not vouchsafe
any intelligent reply.
A little further ON in his evidence
it was shown that settlement had
not been made, because he would not
agree to what would practically
amount to about SIPS per annum.
On this coming out, his lordship said
very emphatically: Then 1t appears
that this suit has been brought in the
high court of justice over dispute
which amounts to about S1.25 per
year, the cost of which will be at
least 500 to each side. 1t is shame

The National Floral Emblem Society
OF America, organized to consider the
claims OF all flowers presented as can

Anyone interested in the naming of
a national flower shall be qualified to

object in view-to create in all parts
of our state among old and young
such interest in the state floral emblem
as shall lead the people to deliberate
upon the merits of candidates and to
intelIigently vote for their choice.
1t is planned to obtain a co-worker
state chairman in furthering the aim
OF the society and take direct charge
OF discussions OF claims OF candidates
md voting in his or her county. 1t is
desired that all interested in the wild
flowers OF Montana or in the state
flower to be adopted, shall take part
in the voting that the vote may be
representative OF the entire state and
of every class intelligently interested
in the matter. All the newspapers OF
the state are cordially invited and
earnestly requested to aid in discuss
ing claims of aoral candidates and in
giving expression to the sentiments of
their readers on the subject.
After the vote has been taken the
legislature will be petitioned to legal
ize the choice.
Presentation of names esofcandidates,
their claims from a sentimental or
utilitarian point of view and other
suggestions in regard to the subject
may be sent to

The Oldest Church.

The Oldest Christian church in the
world is at Rome. Not far from the
great church of st. Maria Maggiore,
in street bearing the same name, is
the much smaller church of st. Pu-
entiana, which tradition, as well as
the opinion of archaeological experts,
declares to be the most ancient of the
Christian edifices of Rome.
About the middle of the first GEN.
tury a certain Roman senator named
Pudens had a house on this spot. He
was a Christian convert and, it is
said, a distant relative of Paul the
Apostle, who lodged with him from
A. D. Al to so, and converted his two
daughters, Praxedes and Pudentiana.
For the religious uses of himself and
guests he built small chapel in this
house, and when he died in SO and
his wife a year later his daughter
added a baptistry, the plans for
which were drawn by Plus, the then
bishop of Rome. In course of time
a church was erected ON the site of
the original house of Pudens and con-
secrated by the bishop in los or las.
