The British TOastma ster.

The British banquet differs from the
American only in that the chairman
presides, but does not keep order or
announce the toasts. That is attended
to by a professional POSTMASTER, who is
a large person with a volcanic voice.
While the guests are assembling he
stands at the doorway and announces
the names of the arrivals, who are
then greeted by the chairman and
passed into the push. When the guests
are seated he takes up his station be-
hind the chair of the presiding officer
and commands order in these terms:
my lords and gentlemen, 1 pray you
silence. We will now listen to the toast
to his imperial majesty the German
emperor, responded to by his excel
lency the lord chancellor" For the
rest the speeches drawl and drag, as
in New York, with now and then a
sparkle of wit or fash of mental en-
ergy, usually from some unexpected
quarter. The turtle soup is no better
than ours The POSTMASTER gets $40
for nights work-New York World.

Protection For Swim mers.

Cotton in the ears said a physi-
clan, should be used by all those who
swim out beyond their depth. You
know how often good swimmers Of
that type drown, don't you? Their
drowning is imputed to cramp, but
you will never find one of the drown
ed with his ears stuffed with cotton.
Why? I'll tell you why. Because it
isn't cramp that causes these drown
ings. 1t is a perforation of the ear
drum, followed by Inconsistencies,
due to the pressure Of the water.
Cramp isn't, after all, tAe deadly thing
it is made out to be. II you get a
cramp in your leg while swimming it
is easy enough to roll over on your
back and float. The cramp won't kill
you. But a perforation of the ear
drum is different 1t takes away
your senses, and down you go like a
log So always, if you are going to
do much swimming, stuff cotton in
your ears. New York Press.

among the famous Rays portraits. He
was represented riding on an old horse,
with a dog in front and boy dressed
in a kilt behind. A detailed account
of the picture states that Kay por-
trayed him as, what he really was, a
very timid horseman, mounted on all
old hack, which he had selected for it's
want of spirit, preceded by his favorite
dog Smash and followed by q highland
boy, whose duty it was to take charge
of the horse on arriving at parliament

stranger form of strong affection for
pigs. He became SO much attached to

vuIgarity No Irish Trait.

There are certain nations that nave
the quality of vulgarity strongly III the
blood. and indeed it seems to testify
to a strong and full blooded vitality.
desire for self assertion. and thus we
may expect TO find vulgarity logging
like a shadow the footsteps of strong.
capable and pushing nationalities. But
there are certain nations that nave
been accused Of many faults that YET
have never been accused Of being vul-
gar. The Irish are a case in point.
They have been accused of levity. OF
undue conyiviality, of frivolity, OF
tendency to romance, of untrustWorthl-
ness. of responsibility. but they have
never been accused of vulgarity. There
lies deep in the Celtic temperament
rich vein of emotion, strong relish for
the melancholy side Of life. 1t is on this
that their Incompatible sense of humor
is based, and it may be said that no
one who feels at home with melancholy,
who luxuriates in the strange contrast
between the possibilities and the per-
formances of humanity, is in any dan
ger of vulgarity, for one of the essen
tial components Of yulgarity is a COM
placent self satisfaction, and if a man
is apt to dwell regretfully on what
might have been rather than cheerfully
upon what is there is but little room for
omplacency.-A. C. Benson in Atlantic.
