THE SAYINGS OF CHILDREN.

Queer and Amusing Ideas Formed by
the Youngsters.
The queer conceptions of things
that come to children cause them to
advance such strikingly original ideas
that their elders are more than aston.
ished. A little boy who lives down
in the country not far from Chicago
was driving out through the farm
lands with his parents. On the way
they passed place where a house
was being erected. The builders had
completed the floor of the porch, but
had not as yet put up the pillars. the
little fellow looked at the house for a
minute and then exclaimed:
"Oh, mamma, there's a porch with.
out any handles"
Another little chap. three years old,
stepped out into the yard with his
mother on a cold evening not long
ago. Suddenly he grew silent and
then burst out with: why, mamma,
Use a-foggin'."
He had been watching his breath
freeze in the cold air.
Still, another youngster, this time
little girl, Is exceedingly fond OF
pumpkin pie. All year she has watch.
ed diligently for the pumpkins and
finally when they arrived this fall her
delight knew no bounds. Rushing I'D
to her mother, she begged:
Mamma. please kill a pumkin and

Judges Differ.

A somewhat singular judicial situa-
zion has arisen in Melbourne. At the
last session of the Criminal Court
fhe senior puisne Judge, Sir Hartley
Williams, announced that he had come
70 the conclusion that first offenders
should not be sent to prison. He
therefore liberated half a dozen con-
ricts of that class on their own recog-
nizances. This time the chief Justice,
Sir John Madden, is presiding in Grim.
inal jurisdiction, and in sentencing
first offender to ten years imprison-
ment he INDUCED in some sarcastic
remarks about the sentimentality of
his learned brother. There was never
any love lost between these two
ermined dignitaries. Sir Hartley pub
Iicly protested when Sir John was
taken from the bar and placed over
his head. But respect for the law
suffers when 1t is a toss-up whether
a first offender gets off scot-free or
gets ten years.-London Chronicle.

Something to Give"

London, Oct. 2.-Addressing a mass
meeting at Sheffield in connection with
the conference of the National Union
of Conservative associations, Premier
Balfour delivered the speech which has
been long heralded as the first heavy
gun to be fired in the fiscal reform
campaign which is absorbing the at
tention of the United Kingdom, her
colonies, and, indeed, the whole world,
ana which has caused the present Brit
ish cabinet crisis Balfour, in the
course of his speech, did not even hint
at the successors in the cabinet to
Chamberlain, Lord George Hamilton
and Richie.
Golden Was No Prophet.
The premier on rising was greeted
with repeated rounds of cheers. He
began with the statement that as he
knew the audience wanted to hear his
views on fiscal reform he would,
therefore, deal with that subject alone,
not introducing any alien themes. The
premier paid a tribute to Golden, who
he said, had an ideal, but he did not
foresee the developments of the last
half century, which had made free
trade an empty name and vain force
For fifty years England, without max
ing sign, had watched the wall Of
hostile tariffs growing up and divid-
ing nation from nation.
Colonies Also Building Wall.
"And our own colonies, our own
flesh and blood, the very sinews Of the
growing empire" proceeded Balfour,
'fare building up one of vested inter-
ests after another system of protec-
ton, which, when it reaches its logical
conclusion, will make it as hard to ex-
port to them as to America or the 9TH
er protective countries. And during

Sentinel and Hussar.

Two well known military terms,
sentinel and ''hussar," afford capital
instances of the remarkable manner in
which nation does it's word twisting.
At first sight there seems little connec-
ton between the Latin word sentina,
signifying the hold of a ship, and a
soldier keeping watch over his sleeping
comrades. The connecting link is af-
forded by the word sentinator, the
Roman who pumped the hold of Ce-
sar's galleys free of bilge water. Upon
his constant vigilance depended the
lives of the entire ships company.
Similarly the word 'hussar'' is mere
~ a Hungarian term signifying TWEEN
tieth." 1t arose in this manner: When
Matthias Corvinus became king Of
Hungary in 1458 he. was extremely
afraid of foreign invasion. He conse-
quently raised an army by the simple
expedient of Communicating every
twentieth individual in the land; hence
the hussar.

COBDEN's RECIPROCITY TREATY

Draws Comparison Between Britain and
Some Protection Countries.
Referring to the reciprocity treaty
negotiated by Golden with France, in
which certain British taxes were to
be RENTED in return for French trad
ing concessions, otherwise the British
taxes were to be retained, Balfour
said: II consider that there is ,abso-
lutely no difference between retaining
tax for diplomatic purposes which
you would otherwise repeal, and i'm
posing a tax which you would other
wise not impose for carrying out the
same object.
II confess that when / hear criti-
cisms upon American and German pol
icy which caused those great industrial
nations to accompany their marvellous
commercial expansion with protective
duties, which must have thrown a most
heavy burden upon the consumer, I
feel that they have retort to which I
at least have no reply.
"They may we'll say that, although
protectiOnist, they have established
permanent free trade within the linn
it's of their own country, where every
thing which can hamper production or
limit the increase of wealth has been
abolished by their patriotism and fore
sight; and they may well ask us wheth-
er we in the British empire can point
to similar picture and whether our
Wanted free trade includes those great
self governing colonies which we
proudly boast are to be the great but
tresses of our empire in the future.
There has been a development Of
which Golden and his contemporaries
never dreamed-the development Of
the trust system under protection. The
phenomenon is so new that | dare
scarce venture to prophecy what de-
velopment It is likely to take, but you
may be absolutely sure that in the
alliance of trusts and tariffs there is
a danger to the capital and enterprise
of this country which acts and reacts
not merely upon the capitalist, for he
is at liberty to go to those regions
where his industry will be looked aft
er, but it will fall with it's heaviest
weight upon the artisan and the labor
classes, which are incapable of pro-
tecting their interests against such a
calamity
