Former Parliamentary Privileges.


The privilege of freedom from arrest
enjoyed by members of parliament is
confined to civil matters: hut, since the
abolition Of Imprisonment for debt, this
immunity has been shorn of most of it's
utility. Formerly it was very useful
privilege Disraeli says of one of the
characters in his first novel, "Vivian
Grey" that 1.-THE only way to keep him
out of the house of correction was to
get him into the house of commons. .
Parliament was then convenient haven
of refuge for splendid paupers. -
In one case an English member named
Mills, who owed e23, 900 and for whose
arrest warrant was in the hands Of
the sheriff, avoided Imprisonment by
purchasing seat for one of the old
"rotten boroughs'' in 1907 for the sum
of 81, 600. In another case an Irishman
named Bourke was confined in the
Kings Bench prison about 20 years
ago in execution for a considerable debt.
His friends got him elected for an Irish
constituency, but he never entered the
house. On his release after election
he fed to the continent and remained
there.
Again in 1926 the year before Dis
raeli published "Vivian Grey man
who was in prison for debt was returned
for Bererley, small English borough,
and was forthwith released on a war
rant issued by Mr.. Speaker 1t was a
case in real life of from the house of
correction to the house of commons.-

A rather good story is told about
Bishop Doane and another member of
the Episcopal house of bishops from the
middle states, who is fond of joke, AS
many of the venerable gentlemen of the
church are. Bishop Doane addresses mis-
colleagues with whom he is Oh especial
~ familiar terms by the name of their
diocese instead of by their surnames,
and in correspondence frequently makes
use of his own and other titles, relates
the Washington Times.
1t is related that on one occasion he
wrote letter to the other bishop refer
red to and in signing it used the term
William Of Albany" instead of his
name. His correspondent promptly re-
piled to the letter. and in his answer
said:
sit is really too bad, bishop, that
you are not of the western diocese of
your state instead of Albany. If you
were, you might very appropriately
sign yourself Buffalo Bill. "

No battle plans have been more gen.
orally used than the fanking move
ments intended to overwhelm one end
of an opponents fighting line, to the
great and probably fatal weakening of
the rest of his position. The Confeder-
ates used these tactics in their most sue
cessful battles of the civil war, and it
is worthy of notice that their attacks
which were particularly daring and
successful were almost invariably made
against the Federal right wing
The troubles peculiar to that unlucky
part of the northern armies began at
Bull Run, and continued, east and west.
for over two years. At that battle the
Federal right wing made we'll planned

External IMPRESSIONS Count.

Not only such things rs are beautiful to the
eye, but those which appeal favorably to the
taste, are large factor in our every day life.
Even with medicines, it is no longer necessary
to take .rge mounts OF vile-tasting COM
pounds to -et relief Now we have the most
wonderful example of this in Vinol, the new
form of cod liver oil, in which the active,
curative principles of the Gods liver is found
in highly concentrated state, and the obnox-
ious, vile-smelling grease discarded.
Mr.. C. C. Isbell, chemist of North Adams,
speaks of this feature in Vinol as follows =
'Vinol is luxury to take. Vinol is
modern and up-to-date and is an example of
mans ingenuity to get the best to be had from
any article for the greater benefit of hui
manity. Vinol should be appreciated. /
know that it is, for in it we have the greatest
builder-up ever put on the market"
Vinol is positively a delicacy in the sick
room. No longer will the poor sufferer with
disease-weakened stomach, struggle to take
that which may save his life, or rebel entirely
against the medicine and prefer death to such
terrible remedy. Yours very truly,

The sudden application of a wet sheet
is stimulus to which the system re-
spends with reaction which sets up a
brisk circulation, resulting in healthy
glow and general activity of the organs
In addition to this, it is probable that
some of the evil "humors" of the body
may be dissolved out through the pores
of the skin
All this is healthy, provided the sys-
tenn can withstand the shock and the
heat is kept in by blankets outside the
sheet. In the case of damp sheets, how
ever, there is no stimulus, and the body
merely loses heat in absorbing the mois-
ture.
This loss contracts the surface vessels
and drives an excess of blood back upon
the internal organs. Added to this dis
turbance of the blood circulation there
is also q congestion of the lubricating
fluids of the surface muscles and joints
which produces stiffness and in seriouS
cases rheumatism, complicated through
the other causes with fever.

The National Mouse Club of England
recently held an exhibition where sew
eral hundred mice competed for gold
medals, champion cups and various 9TH

By careful breeding they have de.
veloped great variety in coloring and
sometimes in shape. One very choice
style of animal, called the spiny mouse,
has a row of bristling hair for spinal
ornament and is very cute miniature

overcome the fear of mice they are
dainty, delicate little studies at any
time. but when they play around in

come perfectly fascinating.
AS in the case of all fads of this kind,
the prices brought by these little pets
are extremely steep. Fifteen dollars or
$40 is not large price to pay for a

have been sold for as high as $25,
