land chieftains were not 80 prompt

the low country, impatient for his
money, found, with some difficulty,
the wway to one of their castles. Ar

and was put to bed. On looking out
in the morning he observed opposite
to his window man hanging on a
tree. Asking servant the reason
of i, he vas told he was a Glasgow
merchant who had the impudence
to come here and dun the laird. The
tradesman, Immediately calling for
his boots, went off without unfold

ants what to say, which had the de-

Two Compliments.

A lecturer used to tell of two
compliments he had received, each
of which was, as he said, "gem"
in its way. One day a friend met
him on the street and said cheerful
ly: 81 see that you lectured last
night. Sorry 7 wasn't able to be
there. Hope to hear your lecture
when it passes into literature - This
was different from the tribute paid
him by young man who, with, q
grave face and businessEke air, step
ped up to the lecturer one night as
he left the platform, shook his hand
solemnly and remarked, with the air
of one making a dry statement of
facts, 81 merely wished to say that
you are my favorite writer and
speaker" after which, he bowed and
abruptly disappeared.

THE "CHILTERN HUNDREDS" ."
Rn Ingenious Constitutional Fiction
Practical In ENGLAND.

Practical In England.
Government is full of ssmake be-
heves." One Of the fictions Of the
English system is that member of
parliament cannot resign his seat.
But, although he is not allowed to
resign, he may nevertheless retire
from parliament at his pleasure.
lie asks to be appointed steward Of
the Chiltern hundreds. 1t is the
theory Of the British constitution
that when member Of parliament
accepts Office under the crown he
must obtain the consent Of his con-
stituents. Thus his seat is vacated,
and he must be elected again after
his appointment if lie wishes to ac-
cept the new Office.
a member who wishes to retire
from parliament applies for this
nominal Office Of steward of the
Chiltern hundreds, is appointed,
thereby vacates his seat and then
Immediately resigns his stewardship,
SO that the situation is vacant for
the next member who wishes to re-
tire.
a crown steward is custodian of
of one of tile manors, hundreds or
honors be:onging to the royal de-
mesne. TIE manors were Anglo
Saxon tow ships, and Hundreds"
were collections Of townships within
a given shire. The abuses perpetrat-
ed by these stewards led to The re-
duction of their numbers until final
ly, under Charles H., nearly all the
stewardships were abolished.
One of the few crown steward
ships which survived was that of
the three hundreds of Chiltern, in
the county of Bucks. Through this
region pass the Chiltern hills. From
the earliest Norman times this prop
erty has been Gin the hands of the
lord the king" -.
In 1850 the "ingenious constitu-
tional felton," which is noted above,
came into practice. In that year
the stewardship of the Chiltern
hundreds was conferred upon John
Pitt; NJ. P, solely that he might va
cate his seat. It has been constant
ly in use for that purpose ever since,
and now the stewardships of the
other crown manors have been ap-
piled in the same way at various
times.-London Quarterly Review.

SELADANG SHOOTING.
Sport That Calls For All Of the
Hunters Skill and Nerve.

sport That Cafts For All Of the
Hunters Skill and Nerve.
Called bison Gncorrectly) in In
dia, seladang in Malaga, slang in
Burma and gnudang in Siam, the
gaur (Bos gaurus) is the largest and
tiercest Of all the wild cattle, with
hoofs small in proportion to its
height and of deerlike rather than
oXlikc character. Its sense of smell
is as acute as that of the elephant
and its vision much kccner. When
you seek one of these cattle you need
all your hunters skill and YOUR
nerve, for next to the elephant and
bracketcd with the Cape buffalo Of
Africa / believe its natural temper
ament and the character of country
in which it is found make the sela-
dang in the Malay peninsula the
most formi?a ble quarry on earth.
In India, where the range of the
gaur is the hilly, wooded districts,
they are more apt to be found in
herds of some size and, because of
the more open sections, less difficult
of approach and less dangerous to
the hunter than in the Malay penin-
sula, where the jungle IS the densest
that grows, and almost invariably
the quarry has the man at disad-
vantage. In Malay it is snap shoot
ing, where the game on being
wounded turns hunter and, conceal
ed, awaits the sportsman, who must
approach with infinite caution, with
senses always alert and hand ever
ready if he would stop or turn aside
the vicious charge. You may never
in this jungle survey the field of
operations from some vantage point,
but in the close growing angle of
vines and canes and thorn bushes
and heavy coarse weed of grasslike
mass, through which you can never
get even dim sight for over twenty
yards and most of the time can
scarcely see that many feet ahead,
you must follow the tracks of the
seladang you have wounded, never
knowing at what instant the mad
dened beast may burst from the jun
gle practically right on top of you.
One seladang I was fortunate
enough to finally get was only just
at the other side Of bamboo clump
when he started his charge full at
me. This is the dangerous and the
unavoidable feature of hunting the
beast in Malay. Luckily for the
hunter, the .seladang, if unsuccess-
full in its charge, passes on to await
him at another point. Never have
l heard of one turning instantly to
q second charge after missing the
hunter on, the first rush. But, on
the other hand, if the seladang
charges home it remains to gore its
victim.-Outing. .-..
