Not What She Meant.

1t Is always safest to say exactly
what you mean. If lady-who by the
way did not live In America-had been
as careful In this respect as she should
have been, an amusing retort would
not have been given to the world.
1t happened that a certain gentle
man, not unknown to fame, had been
in the enjoyment of corner seat In a
railway carriage which was little
more than comfortably full, and that
at a station he stepped out to seek re-
freshments, taking care to leave his
rug to reserve his seat. On re-entering
he found that, In spite Of the rug and
the protests of his fellow-passengers,
lady had possessed herself Of his
place.
Deeming the act little unfair, he ap-
preached the lady, but his explanation
was set aside by the lofty reply:
"Do you know, sir, that am one of
the directors wivesY'
Madame" replied the displaced
traveller, were you the directors only
wife l should still protest. Youths

except one elderly man, who pulled
down his waistcoat with an unneces-
sary show Of determination.

poet went on, drawing a roll from an
unsupported pocket, is The Raindrops
ON the Roof"
'Well, Of course 1t aoes," exclaimed
the elderly man. where would you
expect it to drop? When the rain drops
on any well-regulated house, 1t natur-
ally chooses the roof. Perhaps you ex.
pect people to take the roof Off when 1t
rains? Or you think that we imagine
that 1t drops on the foundation, or In
the umbrella-stand? Everybody else
knows that rain drops on the roof,
young man, and they don't want you
to write poem to tell 'em. If you can
write one that will explain why 1t rains

without an umbrella, we're open to hear

w. r. Milburn, John Holmes, NJ. r.
Dagger, e. l.. Stetson, of Buena Vista
County, Iowa, report as follows of the
Canadian Northwest as to its suitability
for farming, and the advantages II Of
fers to the agricultural immigrant from
the United States: I'VE came here sole
ly to look up improved farms and, II
suitable, to select such as pleased us
best. We have not visited the home
stead districts at all, though We believe
them to be very inviting. Our inquiries
have been confined solely to the district
around Hartney, Deloraine and towards
the Souris river In Manitoba. Our i'm
pressions of all that region are in every
way satisfactory, and we have decided
to go back. to Iowa at once, and, having
disposed of our several interests there,
to return to Manitoba in the month Of
March next, and, effecting our purchase
of improved farms, which we find we
can do at reasonable rates, Immediately
begin farming. We are greatly pleased
with all that we have seen In that part
of Western Canada. The soil we find
to be more than equal 70 that Of our
own country for wheat growing, and
the other conditions of climate, schools,
markets, ETC., are all that we could wish
for.
ITO show what an energetic man can
do we may mention that we found one
such at Hartney who had rented a farm
on shares, receiving two-thirds Of the
returns as his share of the crop. When
he came to sell his own produce he
found that his two-thirds, when con-
verified into aSh yas enough 70 huv the
farm he rented out and out, which he
accordingly did. and Is now its owner.
1t Is our intention to induce as many
of our friends as possible, who are prac-
teal farmers, to remove from Iowa to
this country, where we believe there Is
a better future for the industrious man
than is now to be, found anywhere on
this continent. We are well known in
our part of the State Of Iowa, and we
invite correspondence from its residents
In all parts with regard to this region
of Western Canada which we have WIS.,
tied, and to which we intend to return"

President KinR's Mistake.

81 think never heard a more ludi-
crous instance of absent mindedness
than one which DR.. William +. King,
president of our UNCONVENTIONAL Cor
nell College, at Mount Vernon, tells on
himself" says Rev. s. p. Marsh, pastor
of Haddock Memorial NJ. K. Church.
''The doctor had been invited to din
ner at Cedar Rapids, and just before
the guests were to sit down he was
called to the telephone to communicate
with somebody at the college. The tel
ephone did not work very we'll, and
he had to call Hello an exasperating
number of times. Finally he got
through with the communication and
passed at once to the dning-room,
where the other guests had taken seats
and were awaiting him. He arose upon
invitation to say grace and, assuming
a devout attitude, with bowed head
and closed eyes and the tips Of his fin
gers joined, he astounded the company
and himself as well by exclaiming:
Hello! Due solemnity was finally re-
stored and the blessing asked in con-
ventional form."-Sioux City Journal.

In describing the bombardment Of
MORO Castle, war-artist in Cuba tells
how he and some newspaper men man
aged to attain point Of vantage.
These correspondents wanted to get
near the Texas.
"A few days previous, a rival news
paper dispatch-boat, the recipient of
ain courtesies with which we had
not been favored, had been carrying
minor kilograms to the flagship, from
one point or another; and she was In
the habit of sailing In among the feet,
with an air of Importance, and display
ing the signal, 1--WE have dispatches
for the admiral"
This, Of course, prevented the vessels
of the feet from making her come out
side, and enabled her to approach the
flagship to deliver her communica-
tons. Before leaving Port Antonio we
had taken In a large supply Of fresh
fruit, including bananas; so 1t occurred
to one of our very alert and original
newspaper men that we should hoist
the signal, 1--WE have bananas for the
Texas on board"
This we acted upon, and our vessel
was allowed to glide in without inter.
ferences~until we reached the Texas
Once alongside Captain Philip hailed
us with delight, accepted our little gift
and told us that a bombardment was
very shortly to take place. We thought
ourselves In great luck at receiving
this news, and made outside the lines

were permitted.

ly in France on the penetrative power
of bullets through snow. The results
were astonishing. The Lebel rifle
was used, and at a distance of 100
feet the bullet penetrated only five feet
into the snow target. A bullet from a
Lebel rife has been known, it is said,
to go through tree of three and half
feet in diameter. That 1t should only
penetrate eighteen inches farther into
such soft stuff as snow seems altogeth-
er startling. The explanation suggest
ed by the experimentalists is that the
rotating bullet picks up particles Of
snow as it goes in and so gets "balled,"
or blocked up.

There Is one particular part OF the
dress belonging to the order OF the Golf
the black cap-which the judges In
England always. put over their wigs
when passing sentence of death. Little
Is known concerning this black cap.
and many mistakes have been made
about 1t. Sergeant Pulling, In his work,
1.-THE Order Of the Coif," says: THE
black cap, or sentence cap. Of the
judges and sergeants is certainly not
the Golf, as Lord Campbell repeatedly
states. 1t Is, on the contrary, the COW
ering expressly assigned to veil the Golf
on the only occasion when the Golf Is
required to be hidden. BY the ancient
privileges of the sergeants the Golf was
not to be taken off, even In the royal
presence. The chief insignia of the
order was to be SO displayed when sit
ting on the bench or pleading at the
bar, but this rule seems always to have
been departed from In passing sentence
of death. af. ~. 10 S
"The head Of the administrator of
justice was then covered, as a token of
sorrow, by the black sentence cap.
This cornered cap, black cap, or SEN
tence cap, as 1t is sometimes termed, is
a piece Of limp black cloth, which is
put on top of the wig. The cap is rarely
put on except when q prisoner has been
convicted Of murder, and then the
Judge places the cap on the top of his
wig and passes sentence of DEATH"
When the judges sit In the criminal
courts and when attending church In
state, they always carry the black cap
in their hands as a part of their regular
judicial attire. The black cap Is also
worn by the judges on the day when
the new Lord Mayor goes in state to
the royal courts Of justice to be sworn
in.-Gentleman's Magazine.
