From Bad to Worse.

A gentleman was admiring his pi- geons the other afternoon when he heard a curious ''thud'' and saw one of bis birds drop from a window sill to the ground.
 Turning round, the gentleman was just in time to see a small boy in the lane drop a catapult and run.
 After a short chase the culprit was caught.

~prop In Any rime.-

One of the pitfalls of friendship is the standing invitation. It is easy and pleasant to say: Come whenever you like, my dear! We shall be delighted to see you at any time; don't stand on ceremony-come whenever you are this way" But let those who receive such invitations beware. 1t stands to req son that an unexpected visit cannot always be convenient-the hostess is in the midst of something or other and mot fit to be seen," or her husband has rushed home to take her out some where and she would rather go than stay at home and entertain her dearest friend, or the luncheon or the dinner is a makeshift-very nice, so far as the family is concerned, but not ex- actly suitable to set before visitors. The hostess tries to be nice, but can't help showing her vexation or embar- rassment. The guest perceives some thing 1ndefinable in the atmosphere and is accordingly constrained, and every one is uncomfortable. Yet peo- pie still go on giving and accepting standing fnvitations.-New York Trib- uno.

Boulevard and n.pl.n.a..

Both "esplanade" and boulevard" are military terms by origin. The original boulevard" was 8 bulwark or horizon tai part of the rampant, and an "espla- made" was originally the glacis or slope of the counterscarp of fortified place. A writer 200 years ago noted that the word boulevard was now chiefly talk en for the void space between the gla- cis of citadel and the first houses of a town;" hence its extension to other "void spaces" suitable for promenad- ing. The old French ''esplanade" was defined by Cotgrave as "a blaming. lev cling, evening of ways" from Latin
 'explanare," to smooth or f1atten out, whence the English words 'texplain" and "explanation''

night had gone by,

A fortnight had gone by.
 I, Philip Ralston. found myself back again in dear, dirty old London. My pied-a-terre-when was not travelling was on the hub of the universe, for, to be exact, I had a tiny flat, consist ing of a sitting room, bedroom. bath room and a cuphoard-like apartment called a kitchen, in Talbot House, St. Martins Lane-within a stone's throw of Charing Cross.
 Though a thoroughbred cosmopolitan, like my friend Granny Cough, I was a Cockney, born and bred. My father, a city merchant, had, on his death, left me with a comfortable income, and for a good many years I had spent my life in cratic iourneyings to and fro be- tween the channel and the Urals.
 It was a warm July night, and I was seated with Granny in one of those cane armchairs in the courtyard of that colossal hotel, the Cecil in the Strand. He was smoking in dejec- tion, watching idly the coming and go- ing of the thousand or so guests, most ly strangers in London.

There Is a Chance For Some Good
Work by CONGRESS.

There 10 a Chance For Some Good
Work by Congress.
Members of congress who are re-
turning to Washington after the re-
cent elections are making calcula-
tons on the amount of money to be
expended by the government during
the next fiscal year. 1t seems To
be the consensus of opinion that
the coming session of congress will
not cut the appropriations below the
figures at the last session Of the
sixty first congress.
II such proves to be the case. IL
is estimated that congress, at its next
session will appropriate in the neigh
borhood of $1,000 100000. This would
seem to be an enormous amount OF
money in view of the cry of economy
that has been going the rounds at
each of the various executive de-
partments and the effort now being
made by the several cabinet officers
to cut down their expenses to the
very minimum
The appropriations made during the
last session of the sixty-first con-
gress, in round numbers $1,044 ,000,-
600, broke all previous records. For
years back, the appropriations have
been going up at the rate of about
SS0,000,000 a year. Figuring on this
basis, the amount of money to be ex-
pended during the next session will
probably reach $1,100,0 100000.

A LITToRAL DEFENSE CORPS.

Recent developments suggest the
thought that the time may have ar
rived for the creation of a littoral de-
Tense corps as a distinct branch OF
the military establishment. The
strength of the movement to exclude
the marines from naval vessels and
confine their functions to the guarding
of navy yards and bases seems to
have became apparent even to the
marines themselves, says the New
York Tribune. The Tribune's Wash
ington bureau reports that the COM
missioned personnel of the marine
corps seriously contemplates asking
congress to transfer the entire corps
to the army, with the hope of finding
there more congenial surroundings.
Gen. Murray, chief of artillery. after
an extended inspection of the coast
defenses, announces the necessity of
an additional force to guard "the back
doors" of the modern Notifications
and those portions of the coast be-
yond the reach of the fortified ord
nance. The amalgamation of the mar
inc and coast defense corps In lit
toral defense corps might solve all the
difficulties. The marines under such
an arrangement would retain suffi-
cient mobility to enable them to guard
naval bases, the rear approaches to
the Notifications and unfortified por-
tions of the littoral, while practically
the entire supervision of that impor-
tant branch of defense could be con-
fined to a single head of the newly
created corps, who in turn could be
made responsible to either the secre-
tary of the navy or the secretary of
war, as circumstances might dictate.
