 Lord Rowton, very thin, pale man with the quietest manner imaginable. is not ones ideal of a dashing Irish man, but at the same time he is de- lightfui talker, with a witty tongue. and has a charming manner, says a writer. His old nickname, was Monty Gorry. and when a young fellow he was brim full of fun and frolie. Aa may De supposed, he was a much de- sired guest at country houses, where he invariably proved "the life of the party IL was under these cifcum- stances that he first attracted the at. tention of the late Lord Beaeonsfeld Disfaeli was never happy when one of a house party in the country. His wife used to declare that. feeling bored and not "in touch" with the rest of the party he used to sulk and eat too much instead of talkin at dinner. This made him inclined 10 be bilious, and she would be under the necessity of taking him home to Hugbenden to re- cover. One evening. when kn one ot these 1ow-spirited moods, he heard shouts and peals of delighted laught6r proceeding from a room near that in which he was sitting, and on inYesti- gating found that this state of IiyeI 2"ss-so unlike what he himself was feeling was produced by the singing. dancing and infectious good spirits ot the good-humored young Irishman.

Lord Beaconsleld crept into the room and hung on the fringe of the circle of laughing guests. and very soon an unwilling smile was seen to creep around his mouth, the said smile ending in hearty burst os laughter, which effeetually scattered the last shadow of the weight of de- pression which had been smothering him. Soon after this pleasant intro duetion he made Monty Corry" his secretary, and they worked well to- getber for the remainder of Diaraeli's fife.

THE IDEAL AUTOMOBILE.

Low Cost, Durability, and Speed Nee
 essary.
 The automobile has been sufficiently long in our midst to enable Us to define the essential qualities which go to make Up an ideal machine. says the Scientific American. Naming them in their order they are as follows: Low cost, durability, endurance 0arge fuel supply, ability to climb hill and speed. Low cost is given the first place for thA reason that the present price of the au- tomobtle places it altogether beyond the means of the average individual. and renders it a very decided luxury It is certain that cheapening the cost viii produce a propertionate increase in the demand, and an increased de- mand will lead in it's turn to 8 redue- tinu in the price This was conclu- sively proved in the history Of the bi- cycle, the cost of a frst-clas8 machine today being about ene-qaarter what t was few years ago, when the number of riders WIS limited Bat while the ideal automobile must be cheap, the reduction in price must not be gained at the expense Of sound materials and good workmanship. However great may be the demand for ow-9riced machine, our manufacturers must neY- CT attempt to meet it by making . short cut by way of showy but inferior construction The folly of such meth cd vas demonstrated very conclusive 5 egteH eAe bleye9e YRS x 9fa Ae9gas of it's popularity. Next te it's low cost and durability we place the endurance of the automobile, by which we mean its capacity to cover a large mileage without having to refill it's fuel tanks. Liberal fuel capacity will be very strong recommendation to the bieycllst who has beeh accustomed to rove all day on long distance excursions with the knowledge that he is not tied to particular stopping places, or liable to be hopelessly stalled" by 8 collapse of his motive power in ont-of-the-way ar aneypected places.

On rare occasions, however, after heavy downfalls, the river, rising in it's wrath, succeeds in -easserting it's an. eient dominion, and we see the beauti- :ul bridge built by Fabrieus spanning the waters sent down from Monte pat tino and Ansciano. Such rise has taken place, in consequence of which the forum is inundated by means of the Cloaea Max ina, while the foaming yellow flood has reached height of but three feet below the little Franciscan garden be- longing to the church of St. Bartolom- meo. The ancient confessional below that basilica, dating from about the seventh century is entirely filled.

An International Compiication.

From Pagny-sur-M -MoseIIe comes newa of an international complication which was happily resolved without tha spilling Of blood. When the train which was bound for Metz drew into the station whence it should pass into German control, it was found that ont of the carriages contained, conspicu. ously pasted, caricature of the Kaiser, painted with an insulting le- gend. The German guard refused to have anything to do with such train. Now you cannot find a train. and to immure it in q fortress is poor satis- faction. But you can cut off it's en- zine. And that the German guard threatened to do if the insult were not wiped out. II was wiped ont, not by blood, but by hot water applied by a rriage-eleaner
