Rright,s Threat to His Wife,

Two characteristic anecdotes Of
John Bright are given in Sir Edward
Russell's memoirs. which he has pub
lished under the title THAT Reminds
Me"
Bright was supposed to be a total alb
stainer, but once when Edward Mall
was very nervous at the prospect Of
having to make an important speech in
the house, Bright said:
"Well, Mall, If l were you, I'd for
once go and have pint Of cham
payne"
Mr.. Mail did as he was told, and the
result may be judged from the nara
tors comment that champagne on an
unaccustomed interior is not always a
curative or a tonic"
Bright rarely had any difference
with his wife," but occasionally they
were not at one about the children.
When they came to a point Of absolute
disagreement, he used to say:
"Now, tell thee, If thou doesn't dc
what l wish, I'll go straight to Mr.
Gladstone and ask him to make me q
knight" to which the answer invari
ably was:
"Oh, anything rather than that"

To be cured oil catarrh? If you or your
friends have this disease, you know how
disagreeable it is. Its symptoms are in
famed eyes, throbbing temples, ringing
noises in the ears, headaches, capricious
appetite, and constant discharge of mu-
Gus. Fortunately its cure is not ques-
ton Of what you will give, but what you
will take. If you will take Hoods Sar-
saparilla, the great constitutional rem
edy, which thoroughly purifies, enriches
and vitalizes the blood, you may expect
to be completely and permanently cured

Senator Proctor on the Regular Army

Senator Proctor of the committee on
military affairs and Adjutant General
Corbin OF the war department conferred
with the President Saturday relative to
the proposed increase of the regular army.
Under the existing law" said Senator
Proctor at the conclusion of the confer
ence "the present strength of the army,
65 900 regulars aud $4,000 volunteers,
will be reduced on the first day of next
July to 81 900 regulars. This is an alb
surdly small number and Congress will
be asked by the President to reorganze
the army upon larger basis. 1t will be
impossible to keep any troops in the
Philippines, unless the army be increased,
to say nothing of the garrisons tor the
forts in this country. My own judgment
is that Congress will provide regular
army of about 55,0 900 or 10000 men
with the discretion to the President to
raise the total to 100000 it he finds the
larger number necessary. l have nc
doubt that this legislation will be en-
acted at the coming session"

About the middle of the seventeenth
Germany and a scientist named Ges-
ner gives the first description of this
flower First only the yellow variety
was known, and then other colors were
produced by crossing. The Dutch, par
ticularly the citizens Of Harlem, pro-
duced the most wonderful varieties Of
this flower and obtained enormous
prices for them.
In 1854 the trade in tulips assumed
peculiar turn. 1t degenerated into
sort of game Of chance, so that in
1878 the authorities felt called upon to
interfere and to issue edicts against
extravaganza in tulips, as they former
~ had against trains and laces. This
interference would seem to be justified
If one reads that in 1906 single flower
of this sort, called the Vice9ri, was
paid for with two cargoes of wheat,
four cargoes of rye, four fat oxen,
eight fat hogs, IL fat sheep two casks
of wine, four barrels Of beer, two tons
of butter, 1000 pounds of cheese,
complete bed, a suit of clothing and a
silver tankard.
Another bulb, the Semper Augustus,
was paid for with 1900 gold guilders
and a coach with a double team Of
horses. In HARLEM the tulip craze
reached it's height in the decade from
1880 to 1910, when a price Of 10000
gold guilders about $4,000 American
money is recorded for single bulb.

age" was often peStered for the same
favor by persons who had no such
claim. 1t was evidently Garrick's Gus
tom to give tickets of admission, per-
manent orders, to those whom he de-
sired to honor. 1t is recorded that the
Irish writer, Murphy, annoyed at what
he thought i'll treatment or neglect, re-
turned the ticket with the words, "As
l do not foresee any further occasion
for this Obliging passport, l am not
willing to trespass too long upon your
civility."
Garrlck's answer was such as to re-
fleet the greatest possible credit upon
himself: "If you choose to relinquish
your right to the freedom Of Drury
Lane playhouse, you certainly will do
as you please. But without the ticket,
imagine, Mr.. Murphy will find the
doors open to him, as usual, and be 1t
further known to you, sir, that as |
thought you were above an undue In
fuence 1 never meant the ticket as
the least tie upon the liberty of your
pen or conversation"
1t may be safely inferred that Gar
rick presented the same permanent
passport to his gruff but faithful
friend, DR.. johnson. 1t is hardly too
much to say that the great players
generosity was as notable as his act
ing, and his acting was probably such
as the world has never surpassed.
