BOREs IN PARLIAMENT.

Parliamentary manners are brutal In

wrought by misgovernment in Ireland

That was joke which provoked IN
restrained merriment among the bench
es The Irish members are pardoned
many blunders, however, because they
are, with few exceptions, humorous
speakers, who enliven the tedium OF
debate with merry quips and jests. The
bores, who are constantly speaking with
unvarying dullness and diffuseness, are
not spared when they make slips Of the

Good jokes are rare in the house Of

to listen too often.

The Pace OF the Camel.

As a matter of fact, and in spite of

miles an hour is the camel's limit, nor
can it maintain this rate over two hours.

it might break its heart and die literally
