Rough ON the Reporter.

The late Sir John Macdonald once
gave orders to the leading Ottawa pa
per that his speeches were always to
be reported verbatim, as he prided
himself on the perfection of his ex-
tempore style. But on one occasion.
when he spoke after dining generous
ly, the reporters notes turned out so
incoherent that the editor took fright
and sent the young man to get Sir
Johns own revision Of his remarks.
That statesman gravely corrected the
reporters literal transcript of what he
had said and as gravely said to him on
taking leave: Young man, let me give
you a piece of advice, of which l fear
you stand in need. Never touch liquor.

combustible coating is formed. This is
a. preparation which can be made at

kept on hand. Dissolve 20 pounds OF
common salt and 10 pounds of nitrate
Of ammonia in gallons of water.
Pour this into quart bottles of thin
glass, and fire grenades are at hand
ready for use. These bottles must be
tightly corked and sealed to prevent
evaporation, and in case of fire they
must be thrown near the flames so as
-, to break and uberate the gas contain

Ul0n't Fool the 'SR0uO"s
Inspector Conquest tells many enter
tanning anecdotes of his relations with
Mr.. Gladstone whom he was specially
told off to SHADOW" during the trou-
blous times of 1881. The premier, who,
as is well known, chafed under the
vigilant supervision to which ne was
subjected, was fertile in expedients to
get rid Of the detective. Upon one occa-
sion he attempted a particularly In
gcnious ruse. Entering club, OF whlfh
he was a member, he persuaded q
friend of about his own build to walk
out wearing his unmistakable hat and
overcoat and carrying his umbrella.
Mr.. Gladstone hoped, OF course, that
his unwelcome attendant might be mis-
led in the dusk of an autumn evening
and thus allow an opportunity to es-
cape.
The astute detective saw the familiar
garments leaving the club, but was not
deceived as to the identity Of their
wearer. Gait is one of the most diff
cult things In the world to initiate, and
Mr.. Gladstone's was intensely charac'
teristic. Inspector Conquest simply
walked up to the wearer OF borrowed
plumes, administered his most profes'
sional tap on the shoulder and said, ~
believe, sir, you have just left that
club with another gentleman's proper
ty in your possession" Mr.. Gladstone
never attempted to elude his SHADOW
after that.-London Chronicle.

IT Was 4 Great Shot.

There is a man who when the stars
are out above rigs up a telescope at the
corner of a certain street in S..
wherewith to study astronomy at six
pence a squirt. One night as he was

men" were seen to be taking an OBJ

BY this time the telescope man mad

Irishmen looked likewise in wonder.
Just then, by an odd chance, a large
meteor shot down the sky.

ALL 1T HAD PICTURES FOR
FOREPAUGH-SELLS BROTHERS
SHOW BIG AND INTERESTING.
Prof. W~oodward's Wonderful Seals
Took First HOnOrs-A Woman
Rider Injured.

There was plenty TO see at the perform
ances of the Forepaugh * Sells Brothers
circus yesterday. and, in fact, there was too
much aking place in the three big rings
and on the two stages at one time for the
average person to catch all the acts. 1t
simply required a person with an elastic
neck and many pairs of eyes TO view all
the marvellous feats of equestrianship
aerial acts and performances OF trained
animals, TO say nothing of the antics of
the score of clowns.
But the main features Of the programme
were given at a time when the attention of
the thousands of people that gathered at
the afternoon and evening performances
could not be distracted. There were many
star" acts, but the one hat was most
marvellous was the performance Of Captain
sea lions and seals. given on a
platform in the center of the arena. AS
these animals wabbled over the platform,
lifted themselves 10 their small pedestals
and performed intricate feats, the thou
sands of spectators wondered at the pa
thence required 10 have trained them.
Frisco was the star performer of the ag-
gregation and he balanced huge balls, sticks
and hats on his slender nose and bounced
a large ball in the air with the ease of a
human performer.
Probably the next act in Importance was
the cake-walking horses. The five Potters
and Ryan, WeitZel and Zorella were the
stars of the acts in the dome OF the tent.
Minting, who rode up and down a long,
narrow spiral roadway on a unicycle. and
Starr, who rode down a triple extension
fire ladder from the dome of the tent 10
the ground, also attracted attention.
During the afternoon performance one
young woman fell from her horse and was
so badly injured she was unable to continue
her act. She was able to appear at the
evening performance.

Patr0lmen's Vacations.

The agitation of the question of cooler
attire for policemen has brought about con-
sideration of annual vacations, which were
started several years ago under a scheme
which failed to work satisfactorily. Super
intendent Quizley and most of the men
favor the scheme. The only extra expense,
ii is said. will be the employment of five
new men TO take the places of men on vaca-
ton. 1t Is proposed to make the resting
period seven days. Now the men work
twelve hours each day of the year, and
any time lost. either on account of sickness
or vacations makes a reduction in their
nav.

ATTEMPT OF TEE TO GAIN
ENTRANCE TO PITTsBURG.
White Pass d Yukon Road to BE Ex-
al and Personal Railway News.

The New York Commercial throws doubt
on the Wabash constructing a line into
Pittsburg. Among other things the fact is
cited that contracts so far placed contain
a clause under which the Wabash reserves
the right TO at any time suspend opera
tons. In other words, the company can
discontinue the building of its projected line
at any time. and will do so if it sees lit.
The reservation will protect it from suits
for damages, and in consequence Of this
il is said that some P%ittsburg contractors
preferred not TO bid for a share of the
work.
The disclosure is a new feature in the en-
terprise of the Wabash, and might be as
sumed TO indicate that il is not sure Of it's
ground. 1t has been construed as meaning
that the road will never be built, because
OF a community OF interest between the
wabash promoters and the Morgan contln-
gent, which Will make IL unwiSe to cause
any antagOniSm. SO far as this latter argu-
ment is concerned, it is not very tangible
in the light of what has transpired since
II nrst became known that the Wabash has
perfected its plans for going to Pittsburg.

that the road VIII be abandoned in some
