One OF the Mean Ones.

A worthy old Gentleman in the Coun-
try, having employ'd an Attorney, of
whom he had pretty good Opinion, to
do some Law Business for him in Lon
don, he was greatly surprised on his
coming to Town, and demanding his
Bill Of Law Charges, to find that it
amounted to at least three Times the
Sum he expected; the honest Attorney
assured him that there was no Article
in his Bill but what was fair and rea-
sonable: Nay, said the Country Gentle

The Horses of Manila.

Among the first things to impress a
stranger are the horses. Descended from
horses brought from Mexico, they have
become much smaller, while they are
also much more shapely. In fact, have
never seen a better looking breed. There
is nothing of the pony in their shape,
though in size they range between 48 and
30 inches. At first it looked absurd to
see them ridden by big men whose STIR
rups hung down to the horses knees,
but soon found out that they easily
carried a rider weighing 200 pounds.
The foreigners have jockey club,
which holds two meetings year at the
beautiful turf track at Santa Mesa. To
avoid sharp practice members of the
club only are eligible to ride. This
necessitates scale CT weights starting
at 1872 pounds and rising to I54 pounds.
1t demonstrates the speed and strength
of these miniature horses that mile
has been run in $50 by pony carry
ing $50 pounds. Only stations are
used. Mares cannot even be brought
into the city. Nobody walks; everybody
rides, and on any special fiesta thou
sands of carriages fill the streets. I
doubt if there is a city in the world
that can turn out half the number Of
private vehicles in proportion to the

The Rules of the House.

"How can l learn the rules Of the
house?' asked a newly elected Irish
member of the late Mr.. Parnell. "By
breaking them, was the prompt reply
Of the Irish leader, who, as is we'll
known, spoke from experience on the
point. But few members would care to
adopt that heroic method OF obtaining
the desired knowledge, and their task
in mastering the rules is rendered all
the more difficult by the curious fact
that many of these regulations are un-
written.
Some will be found in the standing
orders. or permanent rules; but those
that deal with etiquette and decorum
have not been officially recorded any
where, save in o few quaint and obso-
lete regulations to be found in the old
issues of the journals of the house or in
the minutes of proceedings taken by
the clerk and published daily during
the session.
For instance, strange rule for the
guidance of the speaker is set down un-
der the 10th of February, 1920, "The
speaker not to move his hat until the
third congee." Propriety of carriage IN
leaving the chamber is thus enforced,
''Those who go out Of the house In
confused manner before the speaker to
forfeit 10 shillings." This rule is dated
the 18th Of November, 1910. Again we
find that on the 23d of March, 1898,
it was ordered, 'No member to take
tobacco into the gallery or to the table
sitting at committees. "-Nineteenth

Shore Cargoes Shifted.

"Once in awhile we read" said Mr.
Bozzle, "that the ship So-and-so or the
steamer So-and-so has returned to port,
or has arrived perhaps with a decided
list; cargo shifted Sometimes we see
land craft, truck, with cargo shift
ed-a big pile Of boxes, towering high,
shaken over to one side or the other by
continued jolting along on the side Of
the street on the slope.
j, ga load thus shifted can't be shaken
back by running along on the opposite
slope of the road. It is like stick Of
wood that has been bent and kept bent
till the grain is set. Whatever you do
with it the crook stays in.
eff care is exercised in turning cor
ners and in navigating generally, the
shifted load can usually be carried to
it's destination as it is without upsetting,
though it may work harder. The expe-
rienced truckman knows just what can
be done with it, and whether it has
shifted as far as it will go, and all that.
If it is so badly shifted as to make the
operation of the truck difficult or dan
gerous, he hauls to one side by the curb
and anchors is to say, he halts
and unloads the shifted top courses Of
his cargo and then reloads and makes
everything trim and secure and sets out

The Magic of q Word.

A party of gentlemen but recently re-
turned from metropolitan city tell a

The instrument was caused to register
ice water number of, times in the re-
gions below, but there was no response.
The thirst kept on increasing and the
gentlemen got hot in the collar. One OF
them spoke Of going down and challeng-
ing the clerk and the bellboys to box

"No, don't do that" remarked one
of the gentlemen. "Just watch me

GLADSTONE AS A CHEMIST.

An Incident In the Grand Old Mans Ca
reer In the Commons.
If Mr.. Gladstone seldom indulged in
sarcasm. 1t was not because he lacked
the gift--for he possessed it in high
degree-but because he forbore to use
it, To hurt an opponents feelings gave
him pain and.when he did it uninten-
tionally he>would sometimes cross the
floor of the house, and, sitting for few
moments by the side of the man whom
he had just demolished, say something
to assuage the wound. One OF his most
persistent, but never illsnatured, critics
was the late Sir John Pope Hennessv,
who told me the following story to IL
lustrate this generous trait in Mr.. Glad
stones character.
Sir John prided himself on his knowl
edge Of chemistry, and in one of the
debates on the commercial treaty nth
France he made q speech exposing, as
he believed, a serious chemical blunder
in the treaty. Mr.. Gladstone followed,
land soon turned me inside out in the
most amusing manner" said Hennessy
in relating the story, "proving, as if he
had been chemist by profession, that
it was who had blundered egregious-
ly."
Having thus disposed of his critic,
Mr.. Gladstone went and sat by him for
a moment. II hope you don t feel hurt,
Mr.. Hennessy," he said. "Your speech
was ingenious, and it may console you
to know that the emperor Of the French
made precisely the same objection that
you have made. The fact is, both you
and he know good deal about chem
istry, but not enough to keep you from
