AMERICAN AND BRITISH HUMoR.
Radical Differences Which Each Race

Radical Differences Which Each Race
Finds Difficulty in Reconciling.
Beyond Fl question there is distinct
difference between American and Brit
ish humor. To most Americans London
Punch is indescri:,ably dreary, yet to
the average Britain it is the funniest
paper published. Per contra, thu Eng
lishman seldom enjoys an American
joke, and our comic papers are as rule
senseless to him. As an Illustration of
these national characteristics Charles
w. Brooke, a promi nent lawyer, recalls
the experience of Charles W. Browne,
better known as Artemus Ward, one of
The first of Amer can humorists. 1T
was a singular thing that Ward, while
he captured the British public IN his
first lecture, made a complete failure
when he became member of the staff
of London Punch, he being, I believe,
the only American, who was ever en-
nioyed upon that publication. He be-
gan his first lecture in the British cap
i tai by praising warmly the hospitality
CT the people of London. In glowing
terms he described the picture which
tad been drawn for him in America of
the warmth of the greeting which
would be extended to him when he had
crossed the Atlantic. But he added,
| the T6al1ZdT1O1 mas lar cXCeoucd the stIl-
ticipation. Since [ have been in London
have been amazed beyond measure at
the Inequalities of which I have been
the recipient. Why, L assure YOU that
even every time have left a cab a hand

Ting The newspapers at that time re-
lated that first there were few smiles
upon the faces in the London audience,
then some one Uttered, after that n few
people laughed, and in about half a min
ute the entire audience was in a roar.
From that time a l.iugh followed every
thing he said. Els work on Punch,
however, the British people were in
capable of approaching; even his de-
ightfu1 description of his visit to the
tower of London, III which, in Iemin-
fscent mood, he spoke about his puri-
tan ancestors and told how they had
travelled to a bleak and foreign shore,
here they could worship God accord
irg to the dictates of their own con-
sciences and prevent every other man
from worshiping according to the die
tates of his. That sort of real humor
was too subtle fer the Londoner."-

A man who was present at the corona

old woman whose extraordinary fervor
drew tears to our eyes. Over her dirty

sorrows. Squatted in the mud, her
hands clasping a shepherds staff, she
was gazing fiXedly before her. Her
wrinllled face of waXlike color was
TRANSPORTED with enthusiasm. Her lips
murmured a prayer, but her eyes were
gazing into Heaven. There was in this
eye superhuman expression, sad and
serene at the same time. This was dead

life; she existed as in dream Touched

Some Queer Features About Them Seldom

Oysters live ten to twelve years when
they have the chance. In this country
they don't get the chance.
Many horses are fond of beer, and to

Cruel is great restorative. 1t acts as

Brewers understand this, and that is
one reason why their horses always

The large horned beetle can carry 315
times its own weight. One has been
known to walk away with two and a
quarter pound weight.
Live bees are sometimes shipped on
ice SO to keep them dormant during
the journey. This is particularly tha
case with bumblebees, which have been
taken to New Zealand where they are
useful in fertiliZing the red clover that
has been introduced into the colony.
The amount of light that can be OBJ
tanned from fire flies is not generally
known These insects have two bright
spots on their thorax and also brilliant
wings on the abdomen, and give light
sufficient to enable one to read at a
little distance. Two or three placed il;
the center of a room will shed a sofs
light all over it. They are very common
in Havana, Brazil, Guiana, Venezuela and
Mexico. In those countries at night
the natives affiX the little creatures to
their shoes, and thus obtain light to see
the road and frighten away the snakes.
Mexican women use them jewels.
They tie them in little gauze bags and
put them in their hair or on their cloth
ing. They keep them in wire cages and
feed them on scraps of sugar cane.
Reynard is knowing animal. The
foxes are much tormented by fleas, but
they know how to get rid of the insects.
They gather from the bark of trees
moss, which they carry to a stream that
deepens by degrees. Here they enter
the water, still carrying the moss in
their mouths, and going backward, be-
ginning from the end of their tails,
they advance by slow degrees till the
whole body with the exception of the
mouth is entirely immersed. The fieas,
during this proceeding, have rushed In
rapid haste to the dry parts, and finally
to the moss, and the fox, when he has,
according to his calculations, allowed
sufficient time for all the heas to take
their departure, quietly opens his
mouth. The moss floats off down the
stream with it's burden of aeas, and
when it is out of jumping reach the fox
finds its way to the bank much relieved.

cessful affair. 1t was led by w. II. Fry,
and participated IN by forty ladies and

brilliant and attractive when the dancing
was at its height. The costumes of the

THE DEADLOCK UNBRoKEN.

After the ll4th Ballot Council Adjourn

After the 114th ballot had been taken

election of president, the deadlock re-
NAMED unbroken. Eighteen members

voting, and two members being absent.
There was no deviation in the vote, and
the deadlock remained unbroken, the
friends of both candidates refusing TO
make any concessions.
Seveal intermissions.. were given by
mutual consent, but when the roll was
called every member responded and cast
his vote similar to when the first ballot
was taken. The two absent members were
Messrs Mays3nd Stephenson, who pair
ed in their chdsce for the presidency
At the end of the Goth ballot Messrs.
Guy and Coleman paired off and left the
Council chamber. The general belief is
that the deadlock will remain unbroken
unto the end of time, as the friends of
either Andrews or Wilson refuse to
make any concessions whatever.
After the SEVENTEEN ballot, and it was
clearly seen that no president could be
elected the Andrews delegation wanted
to adjourn until tomorrow night at 8
O'Clock, but every motion to that effect
was voted down by the opposing faction
and Clerk Thomas was kept busy record

then on motion to adjourn at intervals
After tie S1th ballot, and the deadlock
remained unbroken, DIR. Colbourne, who
placed Wilson in nomination, stated that
it seemed impossible for 1.-The members to
elect either of the nominees, and that
they would agree on third party if the
other faction would withdraw the name
of Andrews for president, and recess of
five minutes was given to confer. When
