When Britain Fought For an Ear.
Perhaps the most extraordinary ex-
ample Of Britain going to war for mo
reason at all" occurred in the reign of
George II. One Robert Jenkins, an
English merchant-captain, trading from
Jamaica, arriving in England in 1888,
reported that the sloop had been board
ed by the Spanish coast guards and
that, though no proof Of smuggling had
been found, he had been tortured and
his ear torn off. All England flew into
an uproar. Jenkins ear divided par
ties and shook Walpole's ministry it.
self. The house of commons sent for
Jenkins, and he was told to bring his
ear with him. The incident grew into
a crisis, though Walpole did his best
to persuade people to keep their heads,
but the popular indignation was so
great that the next year the govern
ment was compelled to declare war
against Spain.-Pearsons

ERROR DISCOVERED.

The proceedings which were to have
been instituted to compel the Louis

comply with the order of the Railroad
Commission requiring them to stop
certain trains at Front Street in Bay
St. Louis, in addition to the regular
stop at the depot, have been brought to
a halt by the discovery that there was
mistake in the order of the commits
sion in designating that trains 7. s, IL

intention was that Z, s, 9 and 10 should
stop.
1t is not stated whether the error
was one on the commission or the
fault of the attorneys representing the
Bay st. Louis element who were petit
tioning for the order but the mistake
was made, and new order of the
commission will be required to cor
rect it, In the meantime, it is under

lowed by all the men on duty, returned
to the cell with bowl of milk and
tin whistle. Placing the bowl of milk
at the entrance to the cell, the SER
geant began to play the BLUE Dan
ube."- 1t is needless to remark that
the weakness of the lance-head is
milk and music. The serpent, which
was six-foot specimen, awoke, glided
from the soldiers body towards the
bowl; but 1t had no sooner buried its
head in its beloved drink than ten
cudgels descended on it with terrific
force, killing it outright.

a swoon, was taken to hospital
where he lay for many days on the
verge of madness. He finally re-
covered and related his horrible ex-
perience; how he had awakened in the
middle of the night, as the serpent
was coiling itself on his bare breast,
and how he had lain there in an
agony for hours, not daring to move a
muscle.
Durand was sent back to France as
soon as he had sufficiently recovered.
The only trace Of his terrible expert
ence, adds the Eclair, is that his hair
is now snow white.
