"London" a Vague Term.

The vagueness of the word London"
will be realized when one comes to
understand what it may mean. The
city of London" has an area of $50
acres, a little more than square mile,
and an actual population of less than
q, 900 This is the original London, and
it is so filed with traditions and insti-
tutions that they have actually over
flowed its boundaries. In 1911 it had
a population of 10000, and in 1851 it
reached its high water ms K of 127. S19.
Since then it's population has steadily
decreased.
From time immemorial it has had
twenty-six wards and 112 parishes.
Thirty-ffve of these parishes have a
population OF less than fifty. Bar
nard's Inn Parish numbers a popula-
ton of five, and all that st. John the
Baptist can count is two inhabitants.
Since each parish is entitled to a coun-
ciIor and parish clerk, an election in
St Johns does not possess the elements
of excitement common to aldermanfc
contests in certain of our American
cities The Trade Guilds or Mystic
ries' also have representatives. Some
of these were founded before recorded
history. but they are still powerful
factor. and despite all opposition and
ridicule they retain their grip on au-
thority.-Chicag Record-Herald-

NEW YORK, March 5.-Experiments
to determine whether wild animals
have q natural fondness for wine, beer
or liquors have been conducted in
Bridgeport with the animals of Barnum
& Bailey's circus, and it is demonstrate
ed to those who carefully observed the
experiments that, like the members az
the human family, some animals do
and some do not like liquor. In the
class who do, judging by the expert
ments, were the following:
Black bears, very fond.
| Elephants Gull grown, moderately
fond.
| Tapirs, very fond.
Wart hogs, fond.
Monkeys, very fond.
| The animals which did not show any
liking for liquor were:
Tigers, mild repugnance.
Lions. violent aversion.
Pumas, mild aversion.
Hyenas, violent aversion.
Elephants (young), mild repugnance.
ONE DRINK ENOUGH.
The experiments We're conducted by
Head Trainer George Conkling, under
the direction of "Tody'' Hamilton, in
the presence of DR.. Richard II. Gibbons
of this city, several Bridgeport physi-
clans and a number of newspaper rep
resentatives. The first animals tried
were of the cat family. Two large Ben
gal tigers being the subjects. After
taste of whisky, placed in the cage in
a large pan, both animals roared and
refused a second trial.
Beer was offered next. The largest
tiger, Tom" Tapped about a drink and
a half and then refused further pota-
tions. CIaret and gin We're substituted,
but both tigers declined with growls.
Two large lions refused more than to
sniff at any of the beverages and be-
came violently enraged, roaring, rolling
and clawing their cages. They drank
water afterward with avidity and with
out any roar.
The pumas made no fuss, but quietly
declined to imbibe. Five hyenas all
tried a few sips of beer. but refused
all of the other Invitations.
The elephants were divided in their
tastes. All the young ones placed their
trunks in a bucket of hot whiskey
punch. but Immediately sprayed it over
each other and the "barkeep." The
grown-up elephants got away with two
gallons each a two swallows per gal
lon. Then they looked for more.
BEAR HAS AWFUL THIRST
The black bear. Tony" a Thibet
product, proved the most disgraceful
animal of the lot. 4 gallon Of beer in a
pan struck his fancy exactly until
pan of whisky was slipped into the
cage. Then he put one paw into the
beer pan, to prevent its removal, and

LincoIn's Homecoming.

A homely incident of Lincoln's donnes-
tic life is related by Squire Sears, of
Sangamon County, who for a number
of years lived on a street corner just
opposite to the widely-known Lincoln
home at Springfield. Mr.. Lincoln had
just received a large fee as attorney
in some case, and soon afterward had
left on a tour with the circuit judge on
his usual rounds to hold court in adj
joining counties. He was absent some
time, and in the meanwhile Mrs. Lin
coin had their house raised one story
higher, changing it to its present form
and size. 1t was finished by the time
he returned. Mr.. Sears was sitting on
his own porch and Mrs. Lincoln on the
porch of their improved home when Mr..
Lincoln hove in sight. On his jaded
horse, himself dusty, grimy and travel
worn, Mr.. Lincoln approached down the
street, but, instead of going to his own
home, rode up to the fence near where
Mr.. Sears sat. Looking about as if
little lost or bewildered, with an indie
scribable drawl, and loud enough for
his wife to hear, he delivered himself
as follows:
"Good-evening, sir. Can you-er-teu
me-aw-if the widow Lincoln lives
anywhere around in these parts?"
Now, in Difference to historical, or at
least traditional, accuracy, your CORE
spondent is compelled to testify right
here that deponent further saith that
from the vicinity of the opposite porch
there rang out like a rifie-shot words
which sounded Gas nearly as he can re-
calD very much like:
shut your mouth, you old fool, and
come home!"-Saturday Evening Post.

and no man need be ashamed of it's
record, though its last chapter is a
story of disaster. And surely those
qualities in its commander for which
men are loved and admired by friend
and foe shone out here with no less
luster than on any other field.
