An old gentleman recently remarked
as to how much less whistling Is now
heard on the streets than when he was
q boy. why" said he, when l was
an apprentice lad we all whistled.
There was whistling, whistling by ev-
cry bright young lad you met" Being
asked how he accounted for the change
In this respect, he replied: well, l will
tell you one reason. Our young lads
can't whistle now because they have
cigarettes in their mouths" And there

A Tale of the Sea,

Two American captains wererecently
relating their experiences on different
voyages. One Of them told the follow

my ship was proceeding under full sail
when cloud about the size OF a man s
hand was observed on the horizon. 1t
came on, and as it neared the ship we
discovered that it was composed of To-
Gusts. They settled on the sails, and you
couldn't see bit Of canvas for them.
When they few away, there was not a
stitch of canvas left on the yards. !"
"Ah," said the other captain, Il can

Charles was seated in the royal box
Suddenly an attendant rushed in and
whispered eXcitedly:
"Your highness, the theater is on firei
Make your escape before the panic
breaks out"
This alarming account did not cause
a change Of expression on the princes
face. First satisfying himself by a
word of inquiry that the stage was
really on fire, the prince rose, stepped
calmly to the front Of the box. and said
to the audience:
II am Informed that a fire has
broken out on the stage. There Is time
enough for you all to get out before
the danger becomes IMMINENT; the
only thing that you have to fear is a
panic. I urge you, therefore, to quit
the hall in the most perfect order, and
l give you my word that If you do so
you will all escape. To prove that
mean what say, shall now sit down,
and shall not leave my seat until the
last one Of the audience is out Of the
house."
Duke Charles then sat down as I'M
moved as If the performance was toi
proceed. The sight of his calmness
reassured the audience, and the peo-
pie moved deliberately out in an order
ly manner; the flames burst through
the curtain to the proscenium; the peo-
pie looked at Duke Charles, who still
sat imperturbably in his place; no one
could make cowardly rush in the face
Of such an example.
In ten minutes the house was entire
ly emptied, no one being hurt; Duke
Charles was the last to go out. In an
other instant the interior was all on
fire, and the house was completely de-
stroyed.

The origin of the word milwaukee"
has long been a question Of dispute,
chiefly owing to the fact that the old
settlers have been unable to determine
the point on account of q singular con-

waukee Sentinel. The meanings as
cribed to the word have only been
equaled in number by the modes of
spelling, and these have not been few.

the latest notable murder case. "Chem-

possible to make some sad blunders in

This thing Of trying to prove good

Somebody got hold of his beef ex-

sis-that is, to the satisfaction of the
man that analyzed it. The ordinary test
for horsefesh, according to the authori-

heart, liver and blood of cattle, and

Gunpowder In Hunting.

A curious feature about this evolu.
ton in methods of hunting was the
hesitation with which gunpowder was
taken up by the great mobiles. Not only
did it take quite century to familiar
ize hunters with it, but the evidence
that has come down to us shows that
the humble classes were the first to use
it for shooting game. Macmillan, ar
dent sportsman that he was, tells us
himself that he could shoot farther and
with greater accuracy with his cross
bow than bis keeper could with the fire
tube.
To prove this be tells us the we'll
known story Of a Ger tain channels stand
ing at distance of 200 fathoms, which
after being pronounced as too far off by
his henchman, who was armed with
one of the first sporting firearms men
TONED in print, comes tumbling down,
pierced at the first attempt by the en-
peror's bolt. From other sources we
learn of strict measures being adopted
to prevent poachers and wood loafers"
using firearms, and this at a period
when princes still used the oumbrous
crossbow and spear. 1t was only in the
last quarter of the sixteenth century
that firearms had ousted other weapons
for certain forms of the chase, the deer
battue being among the latter. Pail
