On Feb %, 1888, Lord Maidstone
called the attention of the house to a
speech delivered by O'Connell at a
political dinner in London In which he
asserted that the Tory election COM
mittee of the day-or the committees
appointed by the house to try election
petitions, practice which has since
been abolished had stopped to foul
perjury" In order that their friends
might retain their seats A vote of
censure on O'Connell, which was
moved by Lord Maidstone. was car
ried by a majority Of nine.
A few days later curious scene was
witnessed in the house O'ConneIl had
to stand up In his place in the crowded
chamber while the speaker, James
Abercromby, solemnly reproved him
for 1.-The false and scandalous imputa-
ton" he had cast upon the honor and
conduct Of members of the house. 1t
now only remains" said the speaker in
conclusion, that in obedience 10 the
commands of this house l should repri-
mand you, as now accordingly do"
The reprimand, however, made no i'm
preston upon O'Connell. II have re-
pented of nothing, have retracted
nothing" said be In the course Of a
speech he delivered when the speaker
resumed his seat, and he concluded by
moving a committee before which to
prove his charges. He subsequently,
described the house of commons-in a
speech delivered outside-as ''six hum
bred ruf6ans."

Difficult to lnalet Pain.

The doctor smoked slowly on his
cigar 1t was plain that he had some
thing to say.
81 was thinking of my early college
days." he said, land Of a peculiar in
cident that happened very soon after
began my studies. The professor was
instructing the class one day on the
corpuscles of the blood. In order to get
some fresh blood for microscopic ex-
animation each student was ordered to
tie a rag around his forefnger and
strike the top of the finger suddenly
with a needle with sufficient force to
draw blood. Seems easy, doesn't it?
Do you know there wasn't man In the
class that did it at the first attempt.
It was funny to watch some Of those
embryo surgeons poise the needle with
a determined air and launch 1t to with
in a hair space of the flesh and there
stop dead. Others tried to force the
needle in slowly, but paused very short
ly, with an expression of pain COM
mensurate to that Of an amputation. !
myself gave it up as a bad job and
hacked a cavity in my thumb with a
penknife and found it easier.
THE fact that we were very young
and inexperienced is no explanation for
this popularity, as l have since found
by personal test. Almost everybody
exhibited the same repugnance to IN
ficting pain in that manner. Try it
yourself"
The other man tried and succeeded on
the fourth trial.

LincoIn's Reason.

One afternoon when Lincoln was
president word came to the war depart
ment from the provost marshal at Port
land, Me-, that Henry Jameson, the
Confederate secret service agent, was
on his way to New York, where he
had engaged passage for England. The
war department was at once all astir.
Charles A. Dana, then assistant sec
rotary of war, received the message
and FASTENED at once to consult with
Secretary of War Stanton, says the
Ladies' Home Journal
How do you advise me to act In
this matter?" queried Dana
ARREST the man at once" was Stan
toms reply; but you had better see
the president before you proceed fur

Dana went Immediately to the White
House. As be was a frequent visitor
he was readily admitted to Lincolns
private room.
what is 1t, DanaT' asked the presi-
dent as the secretary came In
Dana told about the incident and
asked the president what ought to be
done.
WELL" was the quiet reply, you
say Jameson will soon leave the coun-
tryT
Eyes, sir; he will escape within q
few hours If nothing Is done to stop
him. My purpose is to arrest him"
well" was the presidents reply,
when you have white elephant on
your hands and he's doing his level best
to get away, why not leave him alone,
Dana?'
And Jameson was let alone.

"Do you absolutely promise to love

Horror and rebellion struggled with
the sanctities Of the occasion on the
bridegroom's face, but he chokingly
responded, Il do" and the meek bride
decorously promised in turn.
After the ceremony was over the
bridegroom said excitedIy aside to the
grave minister:
'SYou misunderstood me, sir; you mis-
understood me! I referred to the won
ans promising to obey"
"Ah, did you, indeed?" serenely an
swered his reverence. But l think
what is good for one side is good for

about it. for as an old married man

had been spending an hour OF two In
the evening with a friend couple OF
miles away 1t was moonlight night,
and Sandy. after partaking freely OF
his friends hospitality. was riding
quietly home across the sheep pastures
on his "guid aud mare" when they
came to an open ditch. which his mare
refused to cross.
"Hoot ava. Maggie" said the rider,
'sthis Wilma dae. Ye maun jist gang
over"
He turned back about 100 yards,
wheeled round and gave the mare q
touch of his whip. On she went at a
brisk canter, but as they reached the
edge of the ditch she stopped dead and
shot Sandy clean over to the other
side.
Gathering himself up, Sandy looked
his mare straight In the face and said:
"vera weel pitched indeed. ma lass.

Did any one ever help him pete when
his back was at the wall?
A great gush of fame from a tall
chimney beyond the yards threw a
blood red reflection upon the upturned
face of the gasping child. The man
drew his hands across his eyes. In
that moment from the depths Of his

ed upon him that atonement which
was the law of their forgotten sept.
he lifted the boy across his shoulder,
drew himself over the fence with his
free arm and presently stood under
the lights Of the street outside the
yards. From the bridge two officers
ran toward him.
Look out or you'll hurt the boy"
he growled as they closed upon him.

Two hours later the cell occupied by
the prisoner was unlocked.
You're bailed," said the policeman.
"By who?" incredulously queried
Pete.
''The superintendent, MI Wheatley.

Then he stood back to make room
for some one behind him. 1t was

A Cardboard Planet.

One remarkable achievement of Sir
William Herschel was in connection
with the planet Saturn. He had ar
ranged to erect his telescope at Wind
sor castle to enable Queen Charlotte
and the ladies of the court to see the
wonders Of the ringed planet, but on
the evening arranged for the observa-
ton great banks Of clouds covered the
sky. However, he explained that that
would not matter, and after the instru-
ment had been carefully directed the
queen and her attendants looked
through It and saw the great planet
and its marvellous rings quite distinct
ly. Herschel, it seems, had expected
bad weather and during the day had
made a cardboard model of the Saturn
ian system and erected it in the
grounds, lamp at the back providing
the necessary illumination.-West

pocketbook. He had about made up
his mind to go to one of the fashion
able resorts for his months vacation.
but this appealing advertisement de-
ctded him.
1t was just few lines of small type,
but every sentence painted alluringly
the delights of a summer on a farm
and announced that Elm farm was to
be rented for the month of August at
an extremely reasonable rate.
Prescott wrote to "E. Marsden,

He could have a far better time than
would be his if cooped up in some
stuffy room at an expensive hotel, and

sat out under the trees while Mrs.

A Wonderful Crab.

The Japanese spider crab is the most
remarkable mimic of the crustacean
group and is also the largest known
crab. 1t has extraordinarily flexible
pinchers, while its numerous arms are
studded with hooked hairs and spines.
BY means of its pinchers 1t tears of
small fragments Of sponges and sea-
weeds. After first putting these to its
mouth, which contains glutinous sa-
Iva, the crab places them on the sur
face Of Its limbs and body by sticking
them fast with rubbing movement.
By this method the crab succeeds in
completely changing its appearance
and rendering itself indistinguishable
from the materials common to the bot
tom Of the sea. While crawling along
1t seems as though portion Of the
ocean bed was In motion, so close Is
the resemblance.
