A SLEEPING PREMIER.
Stories of Lord North's Drowsy Mo-
ments In Parliament.

Stories of Lord NOrth's Drowsy Mo-
ments In Parliament.
Lord North was the sleeping parlia-
mentarian of the eighteenth century.
he was forever yawning In the faces
of members and their speeches. Black
and White says of him that indignant
orators were constantly complaining
of his refusal to listen to them, and he
was never at loss In subjecting them
to the further humiliation Of a sharp
retort.
Even now in these perils the noble
lord is asleep" burst forth an angry
member of the opposition, and Lord
North awoke in time to murmur, II
wish were"
Again he said to another grumbler,
THE physician should never quarrel
with his own medicine"
To speaker who impeached him Of
all sorts Of crimes and called attention
to his doing through the attack Lord
North rejoined:
ut is cruel to deny me the solace
enjoyed by ether criminals-that OF a
nights rest before they meet their
fate"
The best story Of the sleepy premier
Is that connected with a peer who
bored parliament with a history Of
shipbuilding from the time Of Noah
and his ark. North began doing at
the mention of the ark and slept until
the speaker reached the Spanish ar
mada. Then colleague woke him.
Where are we now?" asked North.
"In the reign Of Queen Elizabeth"
"Dear, dearr' exclaimed the prime
minister. "Why didn't you let me sleep
a century or two moreT"

BUSINESS INSTINCT.
A Wall Street Mans Trade That Was
Not n Bad Bargain.

MOI u bdu
A prominent Wall street man told
the following story on himself the 9TH
er day, but made his hearers promise
that under no conditions, would they
reveal his name, as he did not wish to
be bothered by the beggar who figures
in the story:
The Wall street man was walking
with a friend down Broadway when
at Twenty-third street he was accosted
by beggar. The man was more per-
sistent than the ordinary mendicant,
and to get rid of him the broker said:
Il will give you 80 cents if you will
give me your coat"
"All right, boss" replied the beggar,
and within moment the change had
been made.
The broker and his friend then turned
back and went up Fifth avenue to their
hotel. Still carrying the beggar's coat,
the man of finance strolled into the
lobby and began telling the story to
his friends.
81 think you made a bad bargain" /"
said one.
'Look in the pockets" said another.
And as the broker went through the
ragged garment he pulled forth 45
cents in money, silver tipped pipe, a
flask of whisky and a pouch of to-
bacco.
"You see." he replied, this only
proves that 1 never make a bad trade,
even when / don't know what I am
buying.''-New York Times.

The Roethick Indians.

The Boethick Indians of Newfound-
land, at one time the aboriginal inhab-
itants of the island, can now only be
counted by one or two skeletons and
few skulls, so completely have they
been swept away. The French employ
ed the Mic Mac Indians of Nova Scotia
to fight against and exterminate them.
The Boethicks were a peaceable and
quiet race, given to hunting and fish
ing. They used canoes made of birch
rind and of skins Of deer, like the Es-
kimo cayak They had no pottery and
used utensils of birch rind sewed to-
gether, but they employed soapstone
dishes as lamps, their form being SIM
liar to those among the Eskimos at the
present day.
They carved deer and walrus horns
and the bones Of the seal into orna-
ments, which they wore on their dress
es, and ornamented their heads with
combs. The carvings are in triangu-
lar patterns, and out of the large col
lections in the museum at st. John
there are no two ornaments having the
same pattern. Their stone implements
were more rudely constructed than
those Of the western Indians.

Pat and the Jockey.

Pat went to race course the other
day and fell in with a number of sport
ing friends who were betting on the
races. He was urged to bet, but stead
fastly refused until he saw two Of his
friends win large sum on one Of the
races. Finally, after much urging, he
put half crown on a horse, from
which moment he became deeply inter-
ested.
AS the horses came past the judges
box Pats fingers clutched the back Of
the seat and his eyes were wide with
excitement. The horse on which he
had bet finished sixth. Without a
word, but with look of deep disgust.
he got up and hurried down to the
paddock where the jockeys We're Call

particular horse aside, Pat inquired in
deeply injured tones:

The Hairpin In Surgery.

The hairpin as surgical instrument
is treated quite seriously by physi-
clan who, writing in technical jour-
which it may be used in an emergency
to ease pain or even to save life. For
example, it might serve as probe, as
a surgical needle, in place of a drain
age tube, to remove foreign bodies, to
compress a blood vessel or to close a
wound.
zone hair Of woman can draw more
than a hundred pair Of oxen," wrote
old James Howell almost three centu-
ries ago. 1t may be that some Of the
virtue of the hair goes into the pin.

snake Bite and whi,ky,

There is not on record an authenti-
Gated case of snake bite cured by
whisky. Plenty Of individuals bitten
while under the influence Of liquor
have died, and large amounts of alco-
hol have failed to save life in many
cases. Only about one in six Of those
bitten by venomous snakes dies. The
remaining five are cured. by anything
they happen to have taken. Stimua-
ton is excellent, but the giving Of
whisky to drunkenness by lowering the
resistive vitality has undoubtedly been
causatiye factor in many deaths sup
posedly from snake bite that would
otherwise not have occurred.-Ameri.

Death, Ancient and Modern,

The art of the ancients would GER
tainly seem to show that their concep-
ton of death was much more cheer
full one than that which has obtained
in later times. 1t was at one time
thought that the old Greeks and Egyp-
tians had no artistic symbol for death,
but this was misconception. Death
was almost invariably represented by
them as the kinsman of sleep. The
Greeks personified it as Thanates, elder
brother Of Sleep.
The Romans sometimes depicted
Death and Sleep as twin children re-
posing in the arms of Night The skull
and crossbones and the skeleton as en-
blems Of death do not appear to have
become common until comparatively
late Christian times. 1t has been sug-
gested that the terrible famines and
pestilences which scourged Europe
during the middle ages were RESPONSE
BILE for the fear OF horror with which
the modern mind is usually accus
toned to look upon death.

He Remembered.

At a public dinner in New York one
night the statement was made that the
colored race had longer memories than
white folk. Mark Twain, who was
present, agreed with the remark and
to prove it told the following:
"Some years ago when south 1 met
an old colored man who claimed to
have known George Washington. 1
asked him if he was in the boat when
General Washington crossed the Della

The Ono Man Barras Praises.

Almost the only man who is praised
throughout the book (Barras' memoirs)
is a y IAN who by universal assent de-
served the praise that he receives-Mar-
shal 1efebvre Duo de Dantziok, the
husband in the well known play (al-
though perhaps not in real life) Of
Mime. Sans-Gene. Barras never
names him without speaking Of his
courtesy, real goodness and perfect up
righeecusnees Of character, and this even
at time when he was holding the high
est offices under Napoleon, and faith
fully serving one who to Barras was not
only the usurper. but the deadly personal
foe. Barras had much occasion for graf
itude to Lefebvre, and with so bad q
man as Barras this might have been ex-
pected to secure his hatred had hs
thought Lefebvre worth 1t, but the Duo
de Dsntziok, as Is we'll known, was not
an eagle. and he had the tact never to
write to Barrss without telling him how
much he continued to feel the invariabls
kindness which In the days Of the direo-
torate he himself had received from the
director, London Athenasum.

A New Guinean's Idea of Smoky

The natives Of New Guinea hold te-

they regard the white man as being
Of wonderful powers and almost super
human in his ingenuity, they will very
seldom acknowledge that his practice
In any particular matter is right and
the native way wrong. Accordingly,
one of the Anglican mission staff was

band said: ''White women do not

New Guinea women would follow their
exampler But it rather spoiled the
sentiment when he added, '"Then there

Tree That Turns to stone.

There is a tree that grows in Mexico
called the "chijol," or stone tree. 1t is
of enormous proportions, both in cir
cumference and height. 1t has num-
Der of branches spreading out widely
and carrying leaves Of a yellowish
green color. The wood is extremely
fine and easily worked in green state.
1t is not given to either warping or
splitting. The most remarkable thing
about it is that after being cut the
wood gets gradually harder, and in the
course of few years it is absolutely
petrified, whether left in the open air
or buried in the ground. From this
timber houses can be built that would
in few years become completely fire.

Before the Ark.

Noah's ark Is generally supposed to
be the earliest ship Of which we have
record, but there exist paintings Of
Egyptian vessels immensely older than
the date, 2S40 B. c., usually assigned
to the ark, being, indeed, probably be-
tween seventy and eighty centuries old.
Moreover, there are now in existence
in Egypt boats which were built about
the period the ark was constructed.

sup.r.titiou. About bees.

The superstitions which connect bees
with the death or sickness Of the mem
bers Of the particular family in which
they are kept are interesting. In Scot
land and Ireland the entrance of bee
into a cottage, more particularly if it
be a bumblebee, is looked upon as a
certain sign Of the death Of some one
then residing there. In other locali-.
ties if bees In swarming settle upon
dead wood 1t is regarded as equally
ominous.
