Mixed Pickles.

Bishop Knox once explained that
Mr. McKenna's sword was an over
ioaded pistol which, being hung up in
tight corner lest it should burst, pre-
tended to be dead until it got up and
trotted home on the friendly back of
the bishop of st. Asaph." But it is in
political debate especially in the house
of commons, that the mixed metaphor
fourishes most luXuriantly The flood
gates Of irreligion and intemperance
are stalking arm in arm throughout
the land" This bill effects such a
change that the last leap in the dark
was mere flea bite" "That is the
marrow of the educational act, and it
will not be taken out by DR. Clifford or

ite foundation and speaks in a voice

London In 1734.

In 1874 NJ. La Combe published a
book entitled - Picture of London"
in which, inter ALA, he says, THE
highroads thirty or forty miles round
London are filed with armed highway
men and footpads" This was then
pretty true, though the expression
filled" is somewhat of an eXaggera-
ton. The medical student of fifty or
more years ago seems to have been an
ticipated in 1874, for NJ. La Combe tells
us that ''tJq, brass Knockers of doors,
which cost from II shillings to 10 shil-
llngs, are stolen ut night if the maid
forgets to unscrcw them" Il precaution
which seems to have gone out of fash
ion.
NJ. La COmbe in another part of his
book eXclaims: How are you changed
Londoners. Your women are become
bold, imperious and expensive. Bank
rupts and beggars, coiners, spies and
informers, robbers and pickpockets
abound The baker mixes alum in his
bread. The brewer puts opium and
copper filling in his beer. The milk
woman spoils her milk with snails."

The Mules Delusion.

The pack mule is quite as much an
institution as the team mule and is
absolutely indispensable in the noun
tains. Mule packing is fine art, and
with Il well trained animal and skill
full packer you can safely transport
anything from a piano to bag of oats.
When the packer has finished his job
in an artistic manner, the animal may
buck or back. kick or rear or roll, but
he cannot rid himself of his burden,
and he finally gives it up in despair
After two or three experiences he will
submit to his destiny and fall into line
with the rest of the train every morn
ing TO receive his load from the pack
er. A well trained pack mule is at
ways proud of his load, and if by any
means it gets loose he will step quietly
out of line and wait until the pack
master comes along to tighten it.
The most serious objection to the
mule, which you sometimes find in hui
man beings Also is the delusion that
he can sing, One who has never heard
mule solo cannot appreciate the ex-
tent of his mistake; but, like every
thing else about a mule, his song is
strictly original. 1t belongs to no other
animal No one can describe and no
one can initiate it.-New York Mail.

The Blood Red Banner.

nations and times, but since Cain slew
Abel blood red has been the sign of re-

led hy blood red banner, and during
the riots which took place in Paris the
men in the blood red caps We're fol-
lowed by the mob A blood red flag
waved over Bunker Hill when the
Americans fought for liberty, and 1t
was the emblem of the German peas
ants in their great uprisings in 1924
1892 and 1925. Blood red was the col
or of the trades union flags during the
middle ages, and it framed the back
ground of the emblem of the Swiss
confederacy in 1915. Through the
whole of French and every other ma
tiOnal history those striking in their
own ways for liberty have worn the
blood red cap and hailed the blood red
banner as their leader. 1t is Il curious
fact that never has a monarch chosen
1t as his cOlor.-LOndon Answers.

a Queer Practice.

y queer practice which is general
throughout all the tribes of Australia
is the ribbing Of the skin When the
children are still young long cuts are
made across the chest, down the up
per arm and leg and even across the
back and ribs. While the wound is
quite fresh the cut is opened and Il
mixture of mud is grated in, the
skin being pulled rs far rs possible
over it. The skin eventually grows
completely round the mud filing and
forms ridges varying in length and size
from an ordinary lead pencil to the
thickness of Il mans little finger and
extending from armpit to armpit.
