EnRIIah Peers Can't Vote.

Disfranchlsement is one of the pecul- far disabilities under which q peer of the realm suffers. Lord Salisbury once attempted to secure a vote for Hert- ford and Middlesex. but the revising barrster at Hatfield refused the claim on the ground that time had given the disability the character of law and that peers by the law of parliament ncces- sary for the dignity and freedom of the two houses were not permitted to vote for members of the house of commons. Lord Salisbury took the case to the ap- peal court. but as he could quote "nei- ther precedent nor authority" he was obliged to go back to Hatfield without his vote.-Loudon Chronicle.

The chief beauty of the following poem is that it is both rhyme and blank verse-rhyme according to the spelling and blank verse according to the accommodations
 Through twilgbt's gold heard the wild ass bray His love song, which resounded OCT the quay, While he, well knowing that for joy he should Cayort in gee, kicked up the messy mould, And with the energy of lusty youth Once more let of his everlasting mouth, Which set on edge two polka dotted calves Until they, too, oped wide their safety valves And fed like me, and flew like the wolf Or cen the hit ball in the game of golf.

Ion and belongs to the general group known
as Indian elephants. He stands a full ten
feet ut the shoulders. and in his now per-
feet condition weighs approximately six
tons
Arriving in this country at the age OF
10 years he was just IN ordinary young bull.
with nothing to excite attention. except.
possibly. the fact that he was an excellent
specimen for his age. He has spent the
intervening years making all sorts of ele-
plant history. until now. at n. and In his
prime. he is as well as the largest. the
most perfect type Of the Indian elephant
ever seen in this country.

lump on the back. which pushed the meas

The first notable escapade in which

Startling, indeed. are the statistics re-
garding the tidal rise and fall Of the Bay
Of Fundy. but not more startling than the
Reversing Falls or the Bore" But first
to the statistics.
At Grand Manan the tidal rise and fall
Is from twelve to fifteen feet: as you go up
the bay 1t increases. At Lubec East
port It reaches twenty feet: at st. John
from twenty-four to thirty feet: while at
MUncton. where the Bore" rushes around

must a risen seventy feet above sea
