of Commons to uproarious laughter by
his uncertainty with regard to the

The safety of the hanson cab rs u
vehicle in which to be carried about
the crowded streets of a city is still
being seriously discussed by the press
and public of London. Incidentally, it
has been brought ont that the vehicle
was invented by Joseph Hanson, the
architect of the Birmingham Town
Hall. But the wheeled cab which
he patented in 1894 little resembles the
vehicle which now bears his name. II
had Il square sedan chair shaped body
hung between two wheels nearly eight
feet high. The drivers seat was in
front, as was the door which the pas
scnger entered between the wheel ana
the shaft. But this description makes
it plain that even as originally designed
the hanson cab was not strikingly
beautiful.

Gently they have been
catching the enthusiasm of the good

An y. d. A.. which means National
Diploma in Agriculture, can now be
obtained in England. 1t is Jointly con
ferred by two agricultural societies.
the Royal Agricultural Society of Eng
land and the Highland Agricultural So
cicty of Scotland. The first cXamina-
ton for the degree was held in 1900.
and annual examinations have been
held regularly since then. The diploma
is conferred solely on the examination
no specified previous work being re
Quircd. the candidates simply appear
ing before the examining board at the
appointed time and answering what
ever questions are put, to the best Of
their ability. An n. d. d.. National
Diploma in Dairying, is also conferred
by the two societies. The propriety of
calling this diploma national is now
being discussed by British agricultur-
lists, and the general opinion seems to
be that unless the Government in some
way directly oversees and sanctions
the degree the word national is not
justified or appropriate.

The eye of IL young child is as trans

eye begins to be slightly Opaque: in

TO the increase of iibrous tissue and de-

The rich yet unframed voices OF the

A HOUSTON, Texas judge last week sentenced a
colored man to the penitentiary for one thousand
years. The prisoner will find many things changed
when his term of servtude expires The Judge, jury,
prosecuting attorney and witnesses will probably all
be dead, and it is quite likely that his oense may
be forgotten by the time be is discharged If he has
no opposition and keeps good prison record it is
said that parole may be granted him at the expira-
ton of four or five hundred years-which is some
thing he can always look forward to. Considering
the nature of the mans crime, it was humane and
merciful the judges part not to give him life
sentence.
