FOR AN UNSPOKEN SPEECH.

The Irish Patriot Jailed for Words
He Didn't Say.
A member of the Land league was
sent from Dublin to a certain district
to get up a meeting and make a
speech.
On reaching the town where the
meeting was to be held, the speech
maker met a friend, and, both being
genial fellows, they retired to a public
house and bad something. Then they
began talking over old-time reminis-
cences, and the fist thing the land
Lacquer knew was that the attendant
had come in to light the lamp.
"Great goodness!' he said, II was
sent down from Dublin to get ND a
meeting here, and now it is too later
"Oh. we'll, it doesn't natter" said
the other.
Eyes, it does NATTER said the or
ganiZer. Il have to report to my
superior that the meeting was heidi
ooh, that's all right" said his friend.
"Here, you write out speech, and 1
will send it to the local papers, who
will print it just as if the meeting was
held, and then the folks in Dublin
wont know the difference"
This was quickly done, and the
speech that was never delivered ap-
peared the next day in the Lapers.
The fun of the tt ing comes in over
the fact that the Lacquer was arrested
and was sentenced to four months in
Jail for speech that he never deliv-
cred, at a meeting that was never
held.

The Formidable Ostrich.

[ would like to know the name Of
the man who originated the falsehood
that the ostrich, when pursued by his
enemies, sticks his head in the sand.
This man never saw an ostrich, or
when he did, he. and not the bird
stuck his head in the sand, for weight
for age, an ostrich could give that par
ticular brand of man about ten stone
and beating.
An ostrich that has not been brought
up on the bottle or doSed with pare
goric will stand eight feet high when
he has done growing and weigh 300
pounds.
He can kick harder than mule,
travel faster than a horse and grow
fat on food at which a goat would ele-
vate his nose.
It is more difficult to make his &C.
Quaintance now than it used to be
few years ago. for he has been taught
by experience to look upon man as an
enemy.
He takes no pride in his feathers,
but he does not want to loose them,
ing that they are useful in keeping off
the dew, or, at least, counteractinS its
effect.
He is dangerous bird when driven
into corner, as he uses his feet with
great dexterity, and if he plants them
on a man, anywhere between his col
lar button and the wristband, the
mans relatives always claim the in
surance money, if there is any on him

AN INJURED PROPRIETOR.

why There Are No More Tips for
Taking Trunks Up Stairs.
This is the narrative of Potter Palm
err and his chief. porter, as told in a
Chicago paper:
Mr.. Palmer has what he considers
an educated taste for horsefesh. He
thinks he knows Il trotter when he
sees him, and has little doubt of his
ability to pudge Of the aforesaid trot-
ter when he sits behind him with rib
bons IN his hands.
Mr.. Palmer some time ago bought
a horse with an alleged ability to do
mile in $50, that struck him ais be-
ing extremely desirable. He paid q
good deal of money for the animal,
and he was filled with delight when he
thought of the easy and brash manner
in which he would pass the various
turnouts on the Lake Shore Drive.
He asked Mrs. Palmer to come out
with him to try the new horse, and,
having nothing better to do, Mrs.
Palmer consented. The wagon was
yoked up and the driver attached.
One by one the speedy horses of the
neighboring Armours and Trees and
Healys were passed, and Mr.. Palmer
was just beginning to rejoice in his
purchase when there came the rattle
of badly constructed village cart.
1--WE will have to have one more
run, my DEAR" said Potter Palmer.
Just this once, love-" sad Mrs.
Potter Palmer.
The Gathering came nearer, and
nearer and then presenter and present
OF 10 sci n.
ger, until it faded away in the dis
lance far beyond anything Potter
Palmer and his new horse could do,
but as the vehicle went by Mr.. Palm
er recognized the driver.
It was his own head porter! The
man who had brought him to open
shame was the person who told the
slaveys how to pile trunks around in
the Palmer House.
He said nothing just then, but, like
the parrot in the story, he thought a
heap. Mrs. Palmer made such con-
yerSati0n as there was held in the rest
of the trip, and Mr.. Palmer got back
to the hotel as soon as possible.
"HOw much does that head porter
get month";" he demanded.
Fifty dollars replied the manager.
How can ne Duy liOltlAS oIoNh on
$50 Il month";" demanded Mr.. Palmer.
ooh, you forget his fees.
"What fees?"
"Why, the tips-the money people
give the head porter when their lug
gage is brought to them"
"Hereafter," said Mr.. Palmer, no
porter is to be permitted to collecs
fees. You see that he does what he
is paid to do for what he is paid FOR
it. And, by the way, find out what ne
will take for that horse he had OUT
to-day"

JapS side Of the War.
Great progress has been made in
Japan in medicine, and especially in
military surgery during. the last few
years. The surgeon-generzJ has point
ed out that the mortality among the
wounded In the Satsuma war was IT
per cent, while In the present. war it
has dropped to per cent. The armies
or Japan are accompanied by 1,350
medical attendants, of whom $50, are
surgeons. The barrack hospitals In
Japan are large and are equipped with
the latest appliances.
The largest Of these hospitals TE at
Hiroshima. The staff consists of 81
surgeons and sol nurses, in addition
to 173 surgeons and nurses from the
Red Cross society, in which many of
representatives of the Japanese no.
bility serve. The same society has
1873 practitioners and nurses in the
field. The remarkable results which;
have been obtained in the present war
in Japanese surgery, medical practice
and sanitation, are largely due to Dr..
Kitasato and other pupils of the great
medical schools of Germany.
Dr. k1taSato was one of the MOST
eminent of DR.. Koch's students, and.
was associated with DR.. Behring in
some Of the researches that culmina--
ted in the discovery of anti-toxine.
The army of Japan has been as for
tunate in regard to disease as it has:
been in the results of it's numerous
encounters. The London Times states
that the combined mortality from dis
ease and the loss in battle has only
been about 1900 lives out of the
armies, which numbers $4,000 men,
and the navy, which consists of 20
ships. The comparative immunity
from sickness is believed to be largely
due to the rice diet. 1t is probable
that such achievements were never
before realized in the history of war
fare with so small an expenditure Of
human life.-American Machinist.

Pigeon Flying Extraordinary

A trial of pigeon flying on a vast

will take place on June %, between
the we'll known heights Of the Troca-
dero and the Eiffel tower on the OPP
posite side of the Seine. The demon
stration will be international in char

only in France, but in other countries,
have been specially invited to take
part in it. The proprietors of LIE Petit

mated, have, with a view to throw
light on the question of the utilization
of carrier pigeons at sea, engaged a
steam vessel which will sail on June
20 from St. Nazaire, and which will
carry pigeons to various distances,
thence to be dispatched with MESA
ges, arrangements being made for the
accurate registration of time, speed
and other details. Medals and money

The Glove of Commerce n Flower
The smallest evergreen tree from
which cloves are taken was originally
native of the Spice islands, but it is
now cultivated in warm climates in
all parts of the world. The Glove of
commerce is the unopened flower of
the tree. They are quite small, but
grow in large clusters along the
branches. After gathering, the buds
are smoked by wood fire and dried
in the sun. Both the taste and smell
of the cloves depend on the quantity
of oil they contain.

The only baking powder yet found by
chemical analysis to be entirely free

from the exclusive use of cream Of

ahead of the ticket in his own section. The
choice apparently lies between Magee of

the former.

than either Lyon, Breckons, Seyfert or
Middleton, but ran behind Geary and did not
get near the mark which promises had led
him to keep in view. He did well in the
Third ward, far better than the Democrats
predicted he would and as both Severn and
Master are residents of the ward this result
is quite compliment to the former; but the
compliments that were to have come and
were needed from other quarters failed TO
materalize. This was especially the case
with the First ward. Severn had received
iron-bound assurances that he would receive
big complimentary vote from that quarter,
but what did he get ? The same number of
votes that Breckons received and three more
than Lyon got This shows that the Demo-
Gratis of the ward were out for the Demo-
cratic ticket and were not distributing com
pliments yesterday.
The returns of the Second ward are signif-
can't and should be given careful attention.
1t will be observed that while the state ticket
was given a majority the ward went against
every Republican candidate on the county
ticket except Geary, although Severn was
defeated by but one vote.

Every Democrat on the Ticket Given
Majority-Dunn's Strength.
The result of yesterdays election in this
borough was disastrous to the Republican
can didates, the Democratic candidates re-
ceiving maiorities ON the whole vote of the
borough ranging from 224 to 317. The result
shows that both Master and Marshall were
sacrificed in many instances and Dunn, the
Democratic candidate for Judge Of the
Orphans Court got the benefit of the cutting;
but the two candidates succeeded in securing
more than the regular Democratic majority
the borough gives ON a straight vote.
The result is due more to apathy on the
part of the Republicans than anything else,
and cannot be taken as a criterion for next
fall's election. Throughout the campaign
the voters Of the party maintained an in
difference which some mistakably accepted
as in keeping with the quiet campaign which
the candidates had decided to make. The
consequence was that when the time arrived
to count the ballots it was found that many
Republicans had failed to appear at the polls
