BulIs of John Bull.

In the making of bulls Ireland has
without doubt attained pre-eminence,
but she has by no means established
monopoly. Indeed, John Bull is not
often able to poke fun at her upon
that score without being promptly re-
minded of his own achievements in the
same line. A recent newspaper contro-
versy has called forth some fine exam
pies Of the purely British bull, Of
which two were contributed by men,

Cured, however, in the course of the

Worn at a Wedding.

The most noticeable dress worn at
recent smart wedding was not worn
by bride or bridesmaid, but simply by
q guest. 1t was of ivory white satin.
The prevailing note was the princess
robe, but the bodice opened over a vest
of pink brocade, which gave just the
relief of delicate color sufficient to
counteract the effect of the dead-white
garment. Gauntlet cuffs were of the
brocade, and lace ruffies and cravat
finished the confection. The choice of
a hat suitable for wearing with such
gown was no doubt matter Of some
difficulty, but it was successfully set
tied by selecting a large black silk
beaver toque trimmed with white lace
and black ostrich plumes, fastened
with paste buckles.
The bride afterward said that she
felt fiattered to have such costume
designed for and worn to her wedding.
But the costume'o greatest triumph
was in winning the observation from
an artistic man present, "She looks
like a portrait of herself by an old
master."-New York Commercial Ad.

A neighbor of mine shaded q porch

from the other, and all were given ear

TRAPPING A WITNESS,

Six Months.


he Clock Had Not Moved For Owe,
Six Months.
A case was being tried in a country
court. A horse had been stolen from
field, and the evidence all pointed to
a certain doubtful character of the
neighborhood as the culprit. Though
his guilt seemed clear, he had found a
lawyer to undertake his defense. At
the trial the defendants counsel eX-
pended his energy in trying to confuse
and frighten the opposing witnesses,
especially farmer whose testimony
was particularly damaging. The law
yer kept up fire of questions, asking
many foolish ones, in the hope of de-
coying the witness into contradiction.
"You say" the lawyer went on. "that
you can swear to having seen this man
drive horse past your farm on the
day in question:"
II can," replied the witness, wearily,
for he had already answered the ques-
tion n dozen times.
"What time was this?"
II told you It was about the middle
of the forenoon"
"But I don't want any 'abouts' or
'middles.' I want you to tell the jury
exactly the time"
''Why," said the farmer, "I don't
always carry gold watch with me
when I'm digging potatoes"
But you have a clock in the house,
haven't you?"

"Well, what time was it by that?"
''Why, by that clock it was just 10

'You We're in the field all the morn

@I was"
"How far from the house is this
feld?"
"About half a mile"
"You swear, do you, that by the clock
in your house it was just 10 minutes
past 10?"
'I do"
The lawyer paused and looked trl-
umphantly at the jury. At last he had
entrapped the witness into q contra
dictory statement that would greatly
weaken his evidence.
The farmer leisurely picked up his
hat and started to leave the witness
stand. Then, turning slowly about,
he added:
'"T ought, perhaps, to say that too
much reliance should not be placed
on that clock, as it got out of gear
about six months ago, and it's been
10 minutes past 10 ever since."-Cin-

Tho Differing Intelligence of Animals.

Elephants are among the most Sc
verely drilled of animals; their lntelll-
gence does not have free play in conse-
quence. But all English trainers agree
that there is a great difference in ca
pacity between them, and that some
will learn and remember lesson far
more quickly than others. Cats have
very ''lever' brains, and are too self
centred and self-contained, as a rule.
to show the distinctions which exist
between them. Their strongest in
stnct is toward n kind of domestic
comfort not exactly shared with hui
man beings, but enjoyed in their com
pany, to which the cat perfectly adapts
itself. Yet there are misanthropic cats
which make no secret of their dislike
and contempt for mankind in general,
only come into the house under protest
and would prefer to sleep in coal cell
lar to taking their nap in good society.
These are the exceptions in the cat
world, but every one has met with
them. Birds are usually regarded as
possessing brains in "classes," not as
individuals, the origin of the belief
being probably the fact that birds of
one species usually build exactly the
same kind of nest. The generalization

A Few DOn,ts.

Don't buy food that has been in cold
storage if you can secure fresh food;
sometimes turkeys and fish are kept
frozen for years. All fresh meat that
has been frozen loses it's firmneSs and
flavor when allowed to thaw, which
Is necessary before cooking. Firm fish
and fresh meat are essential to good
and wholesome living. You will see
offered for sale smelts and green
smelts, and many housekeepers do not
know the difference, which is just
this: Green smelts are freshly caught;
smelts not bearing this label are frozen.
The frozen ones become tasteless and
fiabby when cooked. Don't buy for
eign fresh fruits or vegetables when
the natives are plentiful. Don't put
celery in the refrigerator just as it
comes from the market; wrap it in
a wet cloth, then in paper, and lay
1t on the ice until needed. Don't de-
pend upon extra heat when you want
water to boil quickly, but add little
salt to the water and watch the graft
flying results. Don't throw anything
away because it is too salty; add brown
sugar until it is just right.-Woman's
Home Companion.

London's Immensity Shown.

The immensity OF London can only
be understood when we come to deal
with the many sides Of the peoples
lives. Every year about 100000 babies
are born in London. There are always
more boys born than girls. More than
400 out Of every 1000 never live to be
two years old, over 10000 little cotfins
being used every year to bury their
remains. More than 10000 people die
every year in London workhocses ana
infirmaries; but, in spite of the fact
that about $4,000 Londoners go to their
last account, there are $4,000 more per-
sons alive in London each New Years
Day than there We're on the previous
occasion.
There are more than 10000 weddings
each twelvemonth, 10000 of which are
celebrated in the churches of the es-
tablishment. Strange as it may seem,
SEEING that we have had compulsory
education now Cor over thirty years,
there are every year more than 2ooo
persons married in London who can
neither read nor write.
1t is a common mistake to suppose
that everybody who can comes to Lon
don, and that the population Is IN
creased almost entirely by this process.

An at once the street car sort O. hoped,
And then, with jolt and bump, it stopped,
For another car was just ahead.
As motionless is if 'twere dead,

And ahead of that was another car,
With one lone man of the G. A. R.
Another car was ahead of that,
In which sleeping copper sat,
And another car ahead of that,
Was as empty as looted fiat.
Ahead of that was another car,
And ahead of that another car,

And another car ahead of that,
And another car ahead of that,
And another car ahead of that,

And still more cars ahead of those,
And ahead of those were others still,
And stretching ahead were others still,
While each was as silent as the tomb
And a veritable cave of gloom.

have there been so many varieties and
such beautiful designs as are seen
this season for spring and summer
wear. The fabrics, too, are finer in
quality. and the designs highly arts

or have scalloped or shell edges. A

silk cord feather-edged. On the net

more body to 1t than pure silk, and a
more lustrous effect In trimmings.
Narrow ribbon effects and little bow
knots are introduced in the trimmings,
running through the popular herring
