Unconscious Hu.nor.

A class Of little folk in an English
elementary school were recently asked
to define ga lady," with curious results.
The definition of Lizzie, aged seven,
will strike a responsive chord in the
heart of the busy woman and shows
that Lizzie must be an observing per-
son. "A lady is something like a
man." says Lizzie, "but she's got long
hair and she's got different face and
different clothes, and she's got lot of
work to do Charlie, aged six, is i'm
pressed by the difference between the
sexes. ga lady" he finds to be differ
ent from man because a lady has
different clothes from a man, lady
has different eyes from a man, lady
has a different body from man, and
lady has different shoes from a man."
Howard, aged seven, gets at the same
facts from different point Of view.
"a lady," he says, has not got some
trousers, but a man has got some
trowSers." A second Charlie, year
older than the first one, thinks that "a
lady Is nice woman because she
don't have torn clothes, and she has a
woch with her, and she has chane on
the woch.''

Early Use of Tobacco.

have heard my grandfather say that
one pipe was handed from man to man
round about the table. They had first
silver pipes; the ordinary sort made
use of walnut shell and straw.
Tobacco was sold then for it's weight in
silver. I have heard some of our old
yeomen neighbors say that when they
went to Malmesbury or Chippenham
market they culled out their biggest
shillings to lay in the scales against the
tobacco. Sir W. r., standing in a
stand at Sir Robert Poyntz's park at
Acton, took a pipe of tobacco, which
made the Ladies' quit it until he had
done.-"Brief Lines Set Down by John

WRECK OF THE LADY ELGIN

Annual Mass for Repose of the Souls
of the Victims Is Held at
Milwaukee.
Milwaukee, Sept. 10.-At st. johns
cathedral the Rev. J. J. Keogh cele-
brated high mass at requiem for the
reQose of the souls of those who
drowned with the wreck of the steam
er Lady Elgin forty-seven years ago.
The first high mass at requiem for
the dead who persisted in the wreck
was both impressive and solemn.
Bishop Henni was in charge of the
ceremonies and was assisted by five
priests. Every available seat in the
church was filled and thousands were
left on the outside, unable to gain adj
mittance. Fifteen of the dead were
buried from the church behind pro-
cession in which every military COM
pany in Milwaukee as well as the fire
department in the city, took part.
IT was estimated that the procession
was more than mile long and that
over 5000 people marched in line, with
thousands more in the streets Such
was the first day of the memorial serv-
ices for the dead, and the day has
been observed in st. Johns cathedral
ever since and will be observed until
the church is no more.
The wreck of the Lady Elgin was
probably the most terrible catastrophe
that ever struck Milwaukee, The boat
was considered one of the best afioat,
ard on. the evening of Sept. started
on its return trip from Chicago. There
was a strong wind blowing, but the
captain did not consider it sufficiently
strong to delay the trip, When the
boat was well on its way, however.
instead Of the wind decreasing, it
blew into a gale,
When least expected by the merry
crowd on board, large hole was
Knocked into the steamer. and the
decks and engine room were flooded
with water. Immediately the merry
crowd Of dancing eXcursiOnists was
changed into panic-Stricken mob,
fighting and tearing up the decks in
an effort to obtain planks to keep
themselves afiOat.
The ship was q complete wreck and
as many as could crowded into the
small boats. TO make matters worse
the shore which all were struggling
to reach, was guarded by high banks
and many reached the goal only to
be driven back by a fierce undertow.

back the love of her children, who
