EIoquence and the Pea.

Our worthy forefathers were fond of
rhetoric particularly of funeral rhet-
oric-and were not always quick to
perceive the dividing line between the
sublime and ridiculous. They seem,
moreover. to have regarded the extraor-
binary as contributing an added and
kindred element to the impressive.
Many of their epitaphs show this, but
few more completely than that of an
estlmable matron who persisted I'M

Her tombstone on the crest of the
burylng hill Is yet easily legible, with
no more trouble than scraping a bit of
lichen here and there and kneeling to

rounded bow, and extraordinary beam

She appears top-heavy, for her bow,
stern and sides are all cut away
sharply to her keel, in The case OF the
bow the slant is seventy degrees.
Most surprising in appearance OF
all the extraordinary features OF the
vessel Is a forward propeller in addi-
ton to the three at her stern. This
fore propeller is an American inven-
ton which Admiral Makaroff has
adopted. Its purpose is to reduce the
resistance of the ice by sucking away
the water underneath it. The device
has been found very effective in deal
ing with ordinary ice, but in the great
t~hicknesses which are encountered in
the Arctic it was discovered to be a
hindrance rather than an aid, and

At that time the Ermack had just

Investigations recently made by a
medical committee in Edinburgh show
that the poor of that city are quite as
well fed as those in the large towns of
Great Britain or America. The COM

ridge and milk of the laboring classes
has been given up for tea and bread.
1t also points out that white bread as
an energy producer is better than
brown. and that much remained to be
done to instruct the poorer classes OF
the population as to how their food
should be properly cooked. 1t men,

A most remarkable story. the truth
of which is vouched for by Maj. B. K.
Selden. the well-known street car man.
and several of his employees. concern
ing two f%ull-grown mules jumping
through a small window in the old
horse car stables in Manchester, has
Just come to light. The story as relat-
Cd by Maj. Selden. and sworn to by
several of the most reliable men in
his employ, is as follows: The black
smith, Henry cambridge (who has
since died) was required to go to the
stables daily to examine and replace
all shoes that had become loose or
been lost while the mules were at
work. On the occasion referred to
above he had purchased a new sheep
skin apron, which the mules had never
seen, and when cambridge wen into
the stall without warming one of them.
"Bet," became alarmed at the sight OF
the leather and leaped through the
open window to the ground outside.
Mai. Selden says he anne in about this
time, and upon learning the cause OF
the excitement, ordered the man to go
back into the stall, and when he start
ed the mule reared up and was about
to repeat the performance. He feared
the mule might not be SO fortunate
in the second jump and told the man
to come out of the stall. The Mag
gie'' mule, says Maj. Selden, jumped
through a window the same size on
the opposite side of the stable. and as
far as he could discover, upon close
examination, neither of them received
the slightest touch. He says tracks
were plainly visible on the outside
where the Bet mule landed and
made an effort to TURF and again face
the window. she being still battered to
