SOME MAIDEN SPEECHES.
One British Lord Waited "a Years for
His Chance in Parliament.

BY waiting twentyfour years before
making his maiden speech Lord Lang
ford has exercised an oratorical restraint
as rare as in some cases 1t would be
commendable.
The Earl of Rochester, in the days of
Charles IL, was not equally modest. for
he took an early opportunity of address
ing the House of Lords with disastrous
results. MY lords" he began, II rise
this time for the first time, the very first
time, my lords, and divide my speech into
four branches" Here he paused for a
few seconds, grew purple and confused.
and finally blurted out, My lords. if
ever | rise again in this House
you may cut me off, root and branches
and all. for ever
Lord Byron was more fortunate. for
his maiden effort was declared by Sir
+. Burdett to be 1.-The best speech by
a lord since the Lord knows when.''
Lord Rosebery's maiden speech, after
three years of silence, was model of
modest oratory, opening with a plea for
that favor and Indulgence which the
House always shows to those who adj
dress it for the first time, even in a
larger measure on account of my ex-

Competition in Economy.

4 plan of rewards for economy in the
use of fuel has been reported to the
Navy Department by Rear-Admiral
Evans, who has been authorized to OF
fer annual cash prizes To the aggregate
of S24tW for the best records made by
the ships of the fleet in the consumption
of coat. 1t is believed that encourage
ment of this substantial nature will es-
tablish competition in the saving OF fuel
similar to that which has resulted in a
rapid advance in the efficiency of the
men who handle the guns. The prize for
the most economical battleship or arm
ored cruiser viii be $1,000, and that for
the best torpedo boat destroyer $500
These prizes are large enough to give
each man of the crew share that Will
make effort worth while.
A perpleXing problem incident to the
sending of the big battleship fleet to the
Pacific ocean was that of distributing
fuel enough to replenish the ships bunk
ers at the various stopping places Bids
Were invited. and the carrying was
open to foreign as well as American
ships. The latter were allowed little
higher rate, to offset the advantage OF
the foreigners in investment and cost
of operation, but there were not enough
American vessels to do the work. But
the chief difficulty was getting the fuel
TO the stations III sufficient quantity and
i'll time to be ready for the ships when
they reached their scheduled stopping
places.
This difficulty will always be expert
enced, and the cultivation of economy in
the use of fuel is therefore quite as inn
portant as the cultivation of skill in
the use of the guns. The cost of main
tanning fighting ships is as heavy during
time of peace as during war if thew
are kept in motion. and coal must he
burned unless the ships are permitted to
remain at anchor for long periods.
Therefore the system Of rewards to be
tried by Rear-Admiral Evans will be of
value in reducing the coal bills and also
in reducing the outlay for the freighting
of coal TO the various naval stations at
which the battleships and cruisers fill
their coal bunkers.

came from the distant theater the golden
voice of Caruso.
As it drew TO its glorious close. sud-
den silence cut the melody like a sword.
Then. instead OF the roar Of applause
instinctiyely waited for, came a woman Z
sob and following it a rush of desperate
words
"0h, my lady, my Queen. have mercy.
They're gong TO hang my darling nay
Jack, and he's innocent, he's innocent.
he's Innocent Don't let them take his
life, your majesty. He's to die in two
days, and there's no one to plead for
him but me, and I'm only a girl. But
yon are, a woman my lady. and you
know what it is to lose one you loved.
Give him time TO prove his innocence,
only little time. l love him So love
him
Then the voice broke into wall Of ex-
ceeding bitterness. and Clara's audience
OF the Queen was ended. Far away on
the London heusetop the man among the
wires made a rapid connection, and the
listeners in the palace, as they lost the
cry of woman's heart, heard the clam
orous applause of Covent Garden.
1t was most irregular 1t was most
scandalous. The lord chamberlain was
Mortified. The managing director of the
electrophone company was in despair,
anu tApttltu HoluIllS TESS tildu ubcdlllu-
ton. The Queen, naturally, demanded
explanations, and received a technical ac-
count of the manner in which wire
could be tapped and the manner in which
this particular wire had been tapped.
But the tragedy of the story appealed to
her more than its comedy and her WON
ans heart moved her to a most unusual
exercise of the royal prerogative.
Without recommendation from the
home secretary the prisoner under SEN
tence of death was reprieved on tile eve
of the day fixed for his execution, and
before twelve hours had passed the wis
dom of mercy was amply proved.
For in the small hours of next morn
ing a wild-eyed man, half-mal with drink
and remorse, forced his way into Lon
don police station. and made confession
of the crime and the easy means by
which he had fastened the guilt of it on
his fellowlodger, from whose room he
had distracted knife and coat.
So Jack received the formality Of a
pardon, and Clara before her marriage
had another and more pleasant interview
with the Queen, carrying away with her
the memory of many kind words, and a
royal wedding present to commemorate
the message carried by the phone to the
throne.-Pearson's Weekly.

A SOutherner's Love for Abraham Lin


The following interesting anecdote is
quoted from Il delightful sketch of Gen.
Pickett called My Soldier" i'll Nc
Clure's:
Il was in Richmond when my soldier
fought the awful battle of Five Forks.
Richmond surrendered, and the surging
sea of fire swept the city. News of the
fate of Five Forks had reached us, and
the city was full of rumorS that Gen.
Pickett was killed. l did not believe
them. | knew he would come back he
had told me so. But they Were very anX-
ious hours. The day after the fire, there
was sharp rap at the door. The serv-
ants had all run away. The city was
full of Yankees, and my environment
had not taught me to love them. The
fate of other cities had awakened my
my arm, | opened the door. and looked
up at tall, gaunt, sad-faced man in i'll
fitting clothes. He asked: Is this George

who took him in his arms. AS he did so
an expression of rapt almost divine ten
derness and love lighted up the sad face.
1t was a look that | have never seen on
any other face. The baby opened his
mouth wide and insisted upon giving his
fathers friend a dewy infantile kiss. As
Mr.. Lincoln gave the little one back 70

At the Turn of the Tide.

1t was asserted by Aristotle that no
animal dies near the sea except at the
ebbing of the tide. This idea in some
form or another has been popular for
centuries.
Such notion, l find, still exists at
Gravesend. An old salt who used to sir
by a dying man in an old ale house on
the shore of the Thames told ME he
noticed my patient was always worse al
the turn of the tide, and then got better
after the tide had turned. Readers of
Dickens cannot forget the account in
David Copperteld" of Mr.. Barks go
ing cut with the tide"
According to Aristotle and Mr.. Peg
gotty, il is at the ebbing of the tide that
death always occurs. But at Gravesend.
| am told il does not matter whether the
tide is at the ebb or flow; it is just at
the turn of the tide that death occurs.
Il have often seen it happen sir" an
old shrimper said to me quite recentlS-

HONEYMOON in Arabia.

For seven days after the wedding the
Arab bride and bridegroom are supposed
not to leave their room. The bride may
see none of her own family and only the
women folk of her husbands who wait
ON her.
She remains in all her wedding fnery
and paint and does absolutely nothing,
says the World Wide Magazine. Tie
bridegroom generally slips out at night
after three days and sees few friends
privately, but he persistently hides from
his wife's family, and should he by acct
dent meet his father-in-law before the
seven days are over he turns his back
and draws his burnous or haik. over his
face.
This is their view Of a honeymoon. and
they grow as weary of it as any Euro
pean couple do of their enforced CONT

DOG INTELLIGENCE.
Remarkable Qualities of the "Malamntes'
Who Garry the Mail in Alaska.

The Eskimo begins to train his dog
for sledge work before it is month old.
One of the most interesting features of
Eskimo cvillages are puppies tied TO the
pole of tent. They pull on the rope
with all their puppy strength in the
effort to break away and join IN the
frolics of their elders.
Not until dog bred for mail service
is l year old is it put in training for
the trail. 1t begins by running 10 miles
with the team, then it is dropped out.
Next day it runs the same distance.
Gradually the distance is increased until
it reaches it fifteenth month of life,
when it becomes part of the regular
service. The life Of mail dog is from
three to four years. No greater punish
ment can be inflicted than to lay a dog
off from service. When unruly they are
often threatened with lay off. and
with almost human intelligence they
seem to understand The disgrace it inn
plies IN the eyes of their fellow workers
on fhe trail. All fight to be leaders. A
constant spur to an unambitious dog IS
the outsider" who will quickly lake
away the leadership not only In the mail
service, but In teams maintained chiefly
for the pleasure of the sport The liz
telligence of the malamute is remark
able, its scent wonderful, its instinct as
rule, unefrlng.
Some dogs are better trail followers
than others, as some are better leaders.
In ii blizzard the best of them lose the
trail but invariably find it. When On
the trail they never eat but once a day,
then at the end of a journey. After
feeding, like weary children they fall
asleep and are never quarrelsome. 1t
