When Lord Raglan Speak%.

The idiosyncrasies of orators pro-
vide an almost inexhaustible study,
says the London Leader. One of the
strangest habits of speaker Is as
suredly that possessed by Lord Rag
Ian. The habit is only observable at
post -prardial functions. at which the
moment the son of the famous field
marshal rises to speak he arranges on
the table in front of him everything
within his reach, just as If he We're
playing An intricate war game.
Bottles OF every size and shape.
glasses, salt cellars, knives and forks
and even the very table decorations
themselves are pressed into the ser
vice, and by the time the noble lord
resumes his seat the disposition OF his
imaginary troops, which is productive
of no little amusement to those around
him, is complete.

This story is told to illustrate the
pope's dislike of spending money on
himself: The other day Pho Centra,
his old a.ld tried personal attendant
opened the discussion while dressing
him in the morning, by remarkins
that his gown was not as new as 1t
might be. Il suppose l have YOUR
holiness permission to order your
gowns for the jubilee?" he added.
What gowns for the jubilee?' re-
piled Leo Kill sharply. Il have three
sets already, and certainly require no
more. Why should l spend good
money for what | do not want?"
But. holy father protested Cen

great personages who are received by

such as ti.ss (pointing to an invisible

The recent remarkable case of Hen
~ c. Krause, who strangled his moth
er, has served to recall other instances
on record in the history OF medical
jurisprudence where crimes have been
connected with dreams and hallucina-
tions.
One of the oldest cases Of the kind
is that of the English gamekeeper who
was killed by his son. Both were
guarding from poachers the preserves
on which they We're employed, when
the son. wearied with the long vigil,
fell asleep. Upon being suddenly
awakened he seized his fowling piece
and slew his father, evidently, in his
half-awake condition. acting under the
delusion that he was attacking a
poacher. He was tried and convicted,
but later was pardoned on the ground
that, because he did not know what he
was doing, there was no criminal in
tent to the action.

carries with it social responsibilities
which are not always easy to avoid.
however agreeable it might be for the
senator to rid himself OF them. But
a life in hotel does not mean that
the senator is taking only a small part
in social affairs. Some of those whose
entertainments are the most lavish
patronize hotels. especially since dur
ing the last few years, all the large
houses have made extensive improve
ments in which the idea OF lavish en-
tertainment on the part OF guests has
been a prominent factor. The hotel
affords ideal conditions for those who
wish to provide india-rubber condl-
tions for entertainment which will do
for small party or for a great gath
ering at dinner or otherwise.
The uncertainty Of politics, says the
Washington Star. has doubtless had
much influence on the plans OF sena-
tors who come here. for while few
of them have served for quarter OF
century and will doubtless be re-
elected as long as they live. yet the
majority of terms of senators are SO
short as to hardly warrant the es'
tablishment of a private home here
involving large expense.
