Victor Hugo and Politics,

Victor Hugo, in spite of everything
that has been said to the contrary, was
distinctly not q republican at the outset
Of his career, and it is more than ques-
tionable whether he would have ever
become the blatant one he did if Louis
Philippe and Louis Napoleon had con-
sented to take him at his own valuation
as statesman. Beranger, who was a
republican pure and simple, notwith-
standing his supposed share i'll the es-
tablishment of Louis Philippe on the
French throne, summed up Victor
Hugo's republicsnism in one line. One
day, shortly after the February revolu-
tion which overtopped that throne-as
1t would seem forever-an acquaintance

dence of the illegitimate daughter Of

THE SARGASSO SEA,

wonderful Region In the Atlantic
Which No Man Has Explored.
The surface Of the Sargasso sea seems
like perfect meadow of seaweed. 1t is
supposed that this enormous mass of
gulf weed may have been partly grown
at the bottom of the shallower parts of
the sea and partly torn from the shores
of Florida and the Bahama islands by
the force of the gulf stream. 1t is then
swept around by the same agency into
the Sargasso sea, where it lives and
propagates, floating freely in midocean.
And the store is ever increasing, both
by addition and propagation, SO that the
meadow grows more and more compact,
and no doubt at the inner parts extends
to considerable depth below the sur
face. = =.
Nor is this all, for at least two-thirds
Of all the infinite flotsam which the gulf
stream carries along with it in its course
sooner or later finds resting place in
the Sargasso sea. Here may be seen

ests of Brazil by the waters of the ANA.

An Honest Sergeant,

A military story comes from Ireland.
A noncommissioned officer, entering a
barrack gate in Dublin, was mistaken
by the fresh one" ON sentry go, who
Immediately saluted him. The noncom-
missioned officer, unaware that his colo.
mel was just behind, returned the
salute, thing not permissible under
the circumstances. Arrived at his quar-
ters, he was surprised to find an order
for him to attend before the colonel.
On presenting himself he was asked
how he came toreturn the salute, know

Not in the least embarrassed. he
promptly answered, "Sir, always re-

All we.thsrs Suited DR.. johnson.

DR.. johnson stoutly poohpoohed the
notion Of the effect of weather on the
mind. ITO temperance, he wrote,
"every day is bright, and every hour is
propitious to diligence. Johnson, how
ever, was little given to analyze the in
fuenoes Of nature, or any other influ-
ences, upon himself. And it may we'll
be that this disposition on his part was
in the spirit OF the stoics and in def
ance Of his own feelings, to which he
disdained to give way. 1t seemed to
him sorry thing that "a being en-
dowed with reason" should "resign his
powers to the influences Of the air and
live in dependence on the weather and
the wind. Temple Bar.

ChurohIll's Push.

When Lord Randolph Churchill was
at Oxford, he was constantly in conflict
with his dean at Merton on the subject
of compulsory chapels, and ON one occa-
sion he was sent for to listen to a grand
remonstrance, 1t was u chilly day, and
the dean was standing with his back to
tho fire when Lord Randolph entered.
After about ten minutes another delin-
Quent was ushered in, and found Lord
Randolph standing with his back to the

day no assiduously sought out a COM

A Cure For stammering.

1t is said that stammerers rarely, if
ever, show any impediment of speech
when speaking in whispers. On this fact
new method of treatment has been ad-
vooated, which is as follows: For the
first ten days speaking is prohibited.
This will allow rest to the voice and
constitutes the preliminary state of
treatment During the next ten days
speaking is permissible In the.whisper.
ing voice, and In the course of the next
10 days the ordinary conversational tone
may be gradually employed.
