THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
In England 1t Is Withheld From
Many Full Pledged Citizens.


Many Full Pledged Citizens.
There are many full fledged English
citizens who are disqualified from
membership in parliament and from
taking any part in parliamentary elec-
tions. Thus all peers of the realm, ex-
cept those Irish peers who do not hap
pen to have been elected for life to
represent their order in the house of
lords. are barred from the exercise of
franchise. So, too, are police officials,
high and low. They neither have
vote nor are they eligible.
Ineligibility to parliament extends to
the Anglican clergy, to Scottish Pres
Catholic priesthood. Undischarged
bankrupts and those convicted of fell
ony and who have not completed their
sentences and are merely freed on
tickets of leave are likewise disquali-
fed from election to parliament So,
too, are young men under the age of
twenty-one and persons who, having
been judicially declared insane, have
not been legally restored to their civic
rights and privileges.
Insanity, however, does not consti-
tute any disqualification in the case of
the upper house of parliament. Luna
ties are permitted to take part in the
divisions in the gilded chamber. and at
the time when the Irish home rule bill,
enacted by the house of commons, was
defeated by the house of lords no less
than three crazy peers were brought
down to Westminster by their keepers
from the insane asylums in which they
were held under restraint and voted as
hereditary legislators against home
rule being granted to Erin.

NATURES ICEHouSE.
food For Birds That Is Preserved In
the ARCTIC ReEions

Food For Birds That Is Preserved In
the Arctic Regions.
The number of birds that go to the
arctic regions to breed is vast beyond
conception. They go not by thou
sands, but by tens and hundreds Of
thousands, and because nowhere else
in the world does nature provide at
the same time and in the same place
such lavish prodigality of food.
The vegetation consists of cranberry,
cloudberry and crowberry bushes, and
these, forced by the perpetual sun
shine of the arctic summer, bear enor-
not ripe until the middle and end of
the arctic summer, and if the fruit eat
ing birds had to wait until it was ripe
they would starve in the meantime, SO
they arrive on the very day of the
melting of the snow.
But each year the snow descends on
an immense crop of ripe fruit before
the birds have time to gather it. 1t is
thus preserved perfectly fresh and
pure, and the melting of the snow dis
closes the bushes, with the unconsum-
ed last years crop hanging on them
or lying, ready to be eaten, on the
ground.
The frozen meal stretches across the
breadth of northern Asia. 1t never
decays and is accessible the moment
the snow melts. The same heat which
thaws the fruit brings into being the
most prolific insect life in the world
the mosquito swarms on the tundra.
No European can live there without a
veil after the snow melts. The gun
barrels are black with them, and
clouds of them often obscure the sight.
Thus the insect eating birds have
only to open their mouths to fill them
with mosquitoes, and thus the pres
ence of swarms of cliff chaffs, pipis
and the wagtails in this arctic region
is accounted for.-PearSon'S.

THE MAN WHO WAS
4 MUSTERED OUT ..,.
BY LEO CRANE
Copyright, 1901, by Leo Crane.

- ~ ~ " ~ ~ WV -
The small column of rough looking
men that wound in single file through
the tangled jungle was all that re-
mained of the once mighty Twelfth.
1t had dwindled to this handful in the
space of nine months, and no doubt
when the wet season began even the
skeleton would have room for fresh
recruits, providing always the rebels,
who lay hidden in the wild grasses,
would allow the fever time enough. A
rebel in the wild grass is as certain as
the fever, and much quicker.
Nine months before the Twelfth had
landed from the rusty red transport
Southern Queen and had marched with
a swinging step over the wet sand.
The straggly line of palms skirting the
beach swallowed them, and from that
moment the defamation began.
For time they idled in the hot sun
at Qualmas, where they ate fruit,
sickened, a few died and the rest re-
covered to curse the heat and to won
der why they didn't go up country.
Then they went up country and the
rebels amused them grimly. This for
nine months. The Twelfth was thor
oughly tired out.
Don't you wish you were goin'
home, Connelly?" asked a man trudg-
ing behind great tall chap.
"Home! Do you ever expect to get
home? Bosh"
"Do you mean San Pedro or do you
mean the real home" asked another.
"Why, l meant home, across the
water. where the people are of the
white brand, and where there's hot
biscuits, and bed, and clean water
and girls. Oh! I meant homer

What He Came For.

A learned judge who was one of the
guests at a dinner was unexpectedly
called upon to reply to toast Recov-
ering somewhat from his surprise, he
said that his situation reminded him
of the story of man who fell into the
water while he was fishing.
With no little difficulty he was res
cued, and, after he had regained his
breath and was in a fairly comforta-
BILE condition, his rescuer asked him
how he came to fall into the water.
Il did not come to fall into the wa
ter" replied the unfortunate fisherman.

Something New In Mechanics,

Great is the humor of woman when
she doesn't mean it, great is the nerve
of woman when she doesn't need it,
and great are the nerves of woman
when it so pleases her. This combina-
ton is blamable for the following: a
very pretty girl sat in a Long Island
railroad train. Suddenly the whistle
blew. 1t is perhaps not necessary to
say that Long Island railroad whis-
tie is more efficacious than otherwise.
1t is tuned to the key of w and is op-
Grated with great diapason, giving
out brand of yelping shrek different
from anything known to nature. To
repeat, the whistle whistled. "O-o-owp'
cried the pretty girl. isn't that aw-
full? l should think the railroad COM
pany would have these things oiled. 1t
is an outrage" Her companion had
often heard of wetting whistles, but
never before of oiling them. Think it
over.-Brooklyn Times.

The Nose Indicates CHARACTER.

A large nose is always an unfailing
sign of a decided character. 1t be-
longs to the man of action, quick to
see and to seize opportunity. A small
nose indicates a passive nature. one
less apt to act, although he may feel
as deeply. He will have many theo-
ries. while the possessor of a large
nose will have deeds to show. Persons
with small noses are most loving and
sympathizing. but their friendship is
not the active kind.
A nose with the tip slightly tilted is
the sign of the heartless fiirt. A long
nose shows dignity and repose, a
short nose pugnacity and love of
gayety. An arched nose-one project
ing at the h-idge-shows thought. A
straight nose shows an inclination to-
ward serious subjects. A nose turning
I'D slightly indicates eloquence. wit
and imagination. If turned up much
it shows egotism and love of luxury.
A nose that slopes out directly from
the forehead, that shows no indenting
between the eyes, indicates power. If
the nose is indented deeply at the root
the subject will be weak and vacillat-
ing. A nose that turns down signifies
that the possessor is misery and sar-
castic.-Ladies' Home Journal

Parsley Honey.

It is very seldom that we come across
honey that is not fit for human con-
sumption, but it is just possible that
you may have that experience. Bees
gather honey for themselves, not for
US, and they naturally study them
selves only. 1t generally happens, for
tunately for us, that what suits them
is also good for man, but there are ex-
ceptions.
The honey that bees gather from
parsley is likely to make man feel very
ill indeed. Probably that honey does
not disagree with the collector, or it
may occasionally be gathered and Glac-
ed with the rest by mistake. There is
Just the chance that it is done for pur-
poses of revenge by one member of the
community who considers himself ag-
grieved and vents his spite on his fell
lows.
Remlock honey may be innocuous to
the bee, but it is likely to poison man
and give him a decidedly bad time if
not kill him.
The plant known as green fly will
yield honey with taste that will make
a human being lose all desire for the
treasures of lhe beehive.

HOME NOTES.

Try adding a tablespoonful of kero-
sene to a pail Of clear hot water to
wash the windows.
One or two good sized mirrors in
brass or gilt frames will do much to
tighten a dark hall or room.
To clean cut glass wash articles, let
them dry afterward, rub them with
prepared chalk and soft brush, care
fully going into all the cavities.
To make a mahogany table shine like
a mirror dip wooden cloth into ia
blespoonful of vinegar mixed with
three of pure linseed oil and rub Wig

Lemon peel (and also orange) should
be all saved and dried. 1t is a capital
substitute for kindling wood. A hand

same time delicately perfume room.

some ale. and in it steep the ribbon
FOR some time. After rinsing the rib

quantity of thymene in the tepid wa
ter instead of the acid.

OUR CONSCIENCE FUND.
1t was Started With a Dollar In the
Year 1911.

year 1911.
'Tn the year 1S11," says III. e. Arm
strong in Ainslee's Magazine, ian
anonymous citizen of New York sent a
dollar to tue treasury department at
Washington with an avowal that he
had defrauded the government and
wanted to make restoration. A dollar
meant something to Uncle Sam in
those necessitous days when the coun-
try verged on war with Great Britain,
and it was patriotic as well as pen
itent act. The contributor was the
founder of the conscience fund, and
probably he died in the odOr of sane
tity.
During the preceding thirty-fve
years of the life of the republic no one
had despoiled the government, or the
private conscience was callous. This
New York man, indeed, seems to have
been the one blemish on golden era
of national virtues, for fifty years were
to elapse before there was an addition
to the fund.
"In 1861, just after Sumter was fired
on, the sum of $4,000 in bonds was re-
ceived by the treasury department,
with a letter explaining that a sorely
tried conscience could no longer en-
dure it's burden of guilt. The plain in
ference was that the sender, realizing
the United States would need a mint
of money to carry on the war, judged
it not to be time to defer repentance.
Think of the bounty jumpers who prof
tied by his contribution!
"It was really useful to the country
in another way. The conscience fund,
which had languished for want Of a
shining example, now became active.
1t has been quoted pretty steadily ever
since. At the present time it amounts
to more than 100000. Indeed, restitu-
ton is getting to be the fashion, and
the time may come when no one will
take advantage of the government or
do so only with the laudable design Of
swelling the conscience fund when any
emergency copfronts Uncle SAM"

LADIES AT DINNER.
From the Position of Carver to the
Principal Seat.

FROM the fOS1tIOh Oh SarFeE ~ INC
Principal Seat.
The presence of ladies at dinner was
brought about by necessity more than
by the gallantry due to their sex.
Servers and henchmen were superseded
by lady carvers, who worked at side
table. In Elizabethan times at private
dinners it became usual to place the
principal joints and grand pieces at
the upper end of the table, above the
salt, so the chief guests could see the
joints and secure choice helpings. We
have something of this kind in the hab-
it which prevails at restaurants of first
showing the game, poultry, ETC., to the
diners before carving. The place which
came to the fair sex from necessity was
soon claimed by them as their right,
and they passed from the mental posi-
ton of carver to the occupiers of the
principal seat. The lady had helpers
who deemed it an honor to serve her
in their turn.
In this duty of semiprofessional cary
err lies one of the first causes of the
paper frills for legs of mutton, etc, for
it was used in every case where the Op-
orator had to grasp some tangible part
of the joint with the left hand. In 1868
a grand dame suggested that it would
appear more comely and decent to use
a fork" this in spite of existing pref
udice.
1t was at this time. too, that travellers
from Holland introduced into England
the fashion of seating men and women
alternately. the adoption of which put
an end to lady carvers. Then the au-
thor of THE Cooks Oracle" suggested
that joints and large birds should be
carved before they came to table, thus
starting the now prevailing fashion Of
carving at the side table.

Right. of Chinese Parents.

The law and custom of China still
give the parents supreme control over
their children. AS far as it is possible
for an outsider to get to know this peo-
pie, whose ways are dark" it does
appear that this power of life and
death is not often exercised unless in
the case of infants. Now and again,
however, instances occur which prove
that this barbarous right is still claim
ed and exercised.
A man in the Nam Hoi district has
Just put his son to, death in a most
cruel fashion, and the law takes no
cognizance of the murder, for surely 1t
cannot be called by any other name.
The boy had been often reproved for
associating with gamblers and robbers,
and his record was bad one. This
much may be said in extenuation Of
the fathers diabolical act. For a long
time the father was unable to lay hands
on his son. This he succeeded in doing
nv offering reward to any one who
