witty Members of Parliament.

Charles James Fox once made re-
marks on government gunpowder In
the house of commons which Adams,
another member, thought offensive to
the ministry, and the two met, as even
wise men did in those days, to shoot
one another Fox refused to fire, de-
claring he had no quarrel, but Adams
aimed and shot, slightly wounding his
adversary. When it was over, the two
shook hands, and Fox was happy
enough to say, You'd have killed me,
Adams, If it had not been government
powder"
Other men there have been who would
not sit through n speech for the gov
ernment's sake, much less fight duel

condemning them as they came up for
Judgment, until finally Robinson Cru

HedgehOgs are very strong in the wa

claws they turn up the nests of trout
or salmon and make n goodly haul
therefrom. They will breast very
rapid stream, and cold water, as near
the freezing point as may be, seems to
have no terror for them. The eggs OF
