A Dutch IrOnclad.

II is of interest tonote that according
to some authorities the Dutch were the
first in the modern period of history to
build an ironclad and that during the
siege of Antwerp by the Spaniards in
1885 the people of that city built an
enormous fiat bottomed vessel, armorcd
it with heavy iron plates and thus con-
structed what they regarded as an im-
pregnable battery. This they named
FINS BelIi Unfortunately the vessel
got aground before coming into action
and fell into the hands of the enemy. 1t
was held by Alexander of Parma to the
end of the siege as curiosity, but was
never employed by either side in any
action. Magazine.

A Shrewd Surmise.

The professor, who by the way was
of Irish extraction, was presiding over
the class in English literature.
"What are the meaning and deriva-
ton of the word 'impediment?'
impeachment from the Latin pc
des,' meaning feet, is something in
the way; literally in the way of the
feet. -
Every we'll. Some one give me SEN
tence using the word correctly"
"He had an impeachment in his
speech"
"That," quickly retorted the profess
or, with the flash on his face which al
ways heralded his wit, "must have
been the man who never opened his
mouth without putting his foot in it. -

Some women with enormous incomes can
never be well gloved. Why? Because
their hands perspire. More women have
probably lost their hope of reaching the
promised land on this account than on
account of any real wickedness in their
makeup.
Nothing irrtates person more than to
put on handsome pair of gloves and in
half an hour have them looking as if they d
had a bath in melted butter.
A manufacturer of fashionable gloves
has hit upon something that makes a
glove perspiration proof. SO many of his
customers complained about running their
gloves that he set to work to find some
thing to eliminate this trouble
Ii occurred to him to fine pair of gloves
with the very thin silk of which fine dress
shields are made
He tried lining the inside OF the palm
aud fingers. and found that he had a
glove which Derspration could not pene-
tiate. His customers are enthusiastic
over his discovery, They say he is a
genuine humanitarian, or else he would
have never given them the benefit of
discovery which is bound to be detri-
mental to his sales.
