Funny Men.

The jests of Heliogabulus were very
practical. He was fond of inviting
people with some physical deformity
to dinner and making jokes about
them. At times he would invite doz-
en- hunchbacks or a score Of squirting
ladies or an equal number of baldheads.
Once he put large number Of exces-
sively fat people, all very hungry, into
a small chamber where dinner was
waiting. There was no room to eat it,.
Another diversion of which he was
fond was that of placing his guests on
air sofas, so that when they were about
to drink he could let the air out and
have both sofa and guest collapse.
1t is said that Nero, the Roman en-
peror, liked to shy" nuts at the bald
heads of the pretors who sat below
during the performance at the theater,
and they were expected to maintain
their baldheaded dignity and refrain
from ''shying" them back at him.

ecyiore SociabIe."

A lady who has recently returned
from abroad had a curious experience
at the little town of Dinant. in Bel
GUM. She was travelling in a party Of
three. including another lady and a
young man. They sought accommodd-
ton at hotel and were shown room
IN which there were three beds and on
. deal table three basins and jugs about
as big as slop basins and milk jugs.
The ladies explained that one room
was quite insufficient for their needs,
but it was a long time before they
could get the hostess to understand
why. They were then shown another
room with three beds, three slop ba-
sins and three milk jugs and were told
that they could have that, too, if they
liked TO pay for the six beds. 1t was
therefore arranged that the man should
have one room and three beds and the
ladies the other room and three beds.
"Do you always sleep in threes"
said one lady to the hostess.
Yes" was the reply; "it is much
more sociable. MADAME.

The chief distinction between the
Mauser and the Lee Enfield Is this
that while the Lee Enfield has maya
zine which is inserted underneath the
body through the trigger guard and Sc
cured by "A catch and is provided with
what is called "cut orr TO prevent
the cartridges from rising, so that ii
can be used as IA simple breechloader
for single firing until the magazine.
which contains ten cartridges, Is order
ed TO be used. the Mauser has n maya
zine which, though not absolutely fix
ed, Is only intended TO be taken off for
cleaning. 1t does not need a "cut OFF,
to use as single loader.
The magazine contains five car
tridges, but whereas the cartridges
for the ee-Enfield have, when the
magazine is charged. TO be each put In
separately, the magazine of the Maui
ser is filed at once by placing against
the face of the magazine set Of five
cartridges held in clip which falls off
when the cartridges have been inserted
in the magazine.
Thus If each weapon were at the be-
ginning of fight empty, the Mauser
would permit of more rapid fire be-
cause it could be loaded five cartridges
at a time, while the Lee Enfield would
take, cartridge by cartridge, as long to
load as a single breecllloader. On the
other hand, the times when very
rapid discharge of fire is desirable are
not numerous. and for these the Lee
Enfield has ten cartridges ready
against the Mauser's five.-Nineteenth

FIVE COMPANIES CAPTURED.
Lord Roberts Formally Reports Fresh
British Disasters.

LONDON, April 6.-The following is
the text of Lord Roberts dispatch to
the War Office, dated Bloemfontein,
Thursday, April 5, announcing the cap
ture of five companies Of his troops:
'Another unfortunate disaster has
occurred, resulting, fear, in the cap
ture of party of infantry, consisting
of three companies of the Royal Irish
Fusiliers, and two companies of the
Ninth Regiment of mounted infantry,
near Reddersburg, little eastward OF
Bethany Railway station, within few
miles of this place. They were sur
rounded by stronger force of the enc
my, with four or five guns.
"The detachment held out from noon
April 3, to April 4, 9 a. M, and then,
apparently, surrendered, for it is re-
ported that the firing ceased at that
time. Immediately after I heard the
news, during the afternoon of April 3,
I ordered Gatacre to proceed from
Springfontein, his present headquar-
ters, to Reddersburg, with all possible
speed, and I dispatched the Camaron
Highlanders hence to Bethany. He
arrived at Reddersburg at 1890 yes
terday morning without opposition, but
no news of the missing detachment.
There can be no doubt that the whole
party has been made prisoners.

OUR NAVY.

The House Committee on Naval AT
fairs in it's report recommending an
appropriation of $61, 900, 900 to increase
our navy says:
'We have navy today which in
cludes considerable number of vessels
of every class, and ship for ship it will
equal that of any navy in the world.
Seventeen years ago we had prac-
tically no facilities for building ships
and what we had were discredited.
We were obliged to buy our armament
and armor, and even in one case our
plans from foreign countries. Today
we are not only building ships in
American shipyards of American ma
terial, by American labor, on American
plans, for ourselves, but also for some
of the leading nations of the world. +"
