Hi.torv OF the ssHis..,

There is not an actor, an actress, q
vocalist or other public performer, in
GLIDING the politician, but must be in
terested in the hiss and it's origin.
Dr. Ainslie Hollis in The HUMANE
tartan tells, under the title of Before
Babel" of his researches as to the pre-
vailing language before the confusion
of tongues"
Referring to the aforesaid awesome
word, he writes: perhaps the sibilant
SIS Est, is, sh) is one of the Oldest sounds
in animated nature, as it undoubtedly
is one of the simplest to produce.
"Vocalized in the English hiss (hist
hush) we find the pure .sibilant adopted
by beasts, birds and reptiles as an ex-
pressive of the warning in times of
stress.
Gwen the crustacean cirrhipeds can
produce the sound, when there is an
adjacent source of danger although
they are not supplied with proper vo-
cal apparatus.
Besides acting as a warning not to
its own kith, some predatory animals,
as, for instance, some Of the smaller
carniyora and certain snakes, utter
the sound in a minatory manner to
ward off Objectionable intruders from
their lair.
Equivalent in the former case to the
expressions Keep quiet Stand STILL
a hiss is construed in its more widely
known sense among animals of differ
ent species as Come forward at your
peril impressing a visitor in search OF
hospitality much in the same way as
did the legend Gave canem,' on the
threshold of Roman mansion"
The paragraph concludes sagely: Our
English hiss is mainly restricted to the
use Of dissatisfied playgoers. The
sound here retains it's primitive mean
ing-a warning note"

When Edward VII as Prince of Wales
visited America in 1860, Canada went
wild over him, and in Detroit and
Chicago the crowds were so dense
that the party could scarcely reach
their hotel. so many were the recep-
tons, dinners and other social func-
lions in which the prince participated
that he finally broke down through
sheer fatigue and overexcitement. The
Duke of Newcastle, who was the
princes companion, decided, therefore,
to stop off on their way to st. Louis at
Dwight Station, quiet village famous
for it's shooting. The prince brought
down bag of IA brace of quail and
four rabbits. But the pleasure of the
day was married by the following Incl
dent:
AS the royal party approached

settler appeared at the door and invited
every one except the Duke of Newcas-
tie to enter.
mot you. Newcastler he shouted. Il
have been a tenant of yours and have
sworn that you shall never set a foot
on my land"
Accordingly the party passed on, and
the farmer, though revenged on his old
landlord, had to forego the honor or en-
tertaining royalty under his roof.

1t might have been supposed that
Addison, the most polished writer of
our Augustan age; that Burke, with
his versatile intellect and exuberant
eloquence; that Macintosh, with his
almost encyclopedia learning, or that
Jekyll, who had set a hundred dinner
tables in a roar, would one and all
have achieved conspicuous success in
the house of commons.
But, as Macaulay has pointed out,
exactly the reverse was the case. Their
speeches produced no effect. They
Wearied and bewildered their audience.
And their rising to speak was too often
the signal for a general exodus; in fact.
as was said of Burke, they acted as
dinner bell. Even Macaulay himself,
though on TWO occasions his speeches
changed the fate of a division. was in
no sense of the word an orator or even
a great debater. His voice was too
shrill and monotonous, and be poured
out torrent of words with such head
long fiuency as to confuse his hearers
as well as to battle the quickest of par
liamentary reporters. Bulwer Lytton,
again, could recite an admirable essay,
but mis- delivery was bad, and the see
saw gestures which accompanied his
speech were as ''grotesque as those of
an old fashioned postboy."
In our own generation no two men
probably have had more highly cult
waited minds than John Stuart Mill and
Mr.. John Morley, but as far as their
parliamentary utterances go their
names are writ in water" Black
woods.

Tit For Tat.

The diners at a popular New York
restaurant are said to have had the
privilege of witnessing an amusing lit
tie incident one evening not long ago.
An Anglicized young man seated
himself at table at which there was
only one other person, writer well
known throughout the country, but
evidently stranger to the newcomer.
The writer is man whose dress IS
always fastidiously neat, but by no
means fashionable in cut or expensive
in material. When the young man took
his seat. the writer glanced up at him
and seeing that it was no one whom
he knew. returned to his study Of the
bill of fare.
The young man languidly placed his
monocle in his eye, and, screwing up
his face to keep the glass in position,
treated the other guest at the table to
a prolonged stare.
The stare ended abruptly, however.
for suddenly the writer looked up.
Quick as thought he seized an empty
tumbler and. applying it to his right
eye, stared gravely through its bottom
at his vis-a-vis.
The monocle was dropped in a very
few seconds. and then the tumbler was
replaced on the table. But the young
Anglomaniac's face was crimson,
while that of the writer remained
grave and unmoved, and through the
dining room rustled the sound of some
thing that suggested repressed merri-

The garrison Of Goruckpoor in the
province of Ondh, India, in the year
1862 consisted of 1000 men, and about
half of these were split up into small
detachments and stationed here and
there in the north to keep order among
the hill men and punish raiding dacoits.
Dacoits are bands of robbers under
command of chief who holds a re-
ligious influence over them, and they
are yet the pests Of India along the
foothills of the Himalayas. They are
daring men and hard fighters, and very
few British soldiers who fall into their
hands are spared.
We of the Fourth, comprising 80
men, were stationed during the year
1862 almost as far north as the Dor
ders of Nepal. We had plenty of Skin
mishing with the dacoits for a time,
but finally dealt them such heavy
blows that they drew off and left us
in peace. We were in the midst of

of treasure and military supplies from

by 250 cavalrymen. The route for the
