A HUMAN GIBRALTAR.
Tho Story That is Told of the English
Colonel RurnabY.

tho story That Is Told OF the English
Colonel Burnaby.
In the biography of Colonel Fred
Burnaby there is characteristic
story, told by his friend Lord Binning
Of that soldier of herculean frame and
reckless courage:
We were engaged in football
match on the green inside Windsor
cavalry barracks, and the verandas
were crowded with onlookers as the
colonel, dressed for London in frock
coat and tall hat, with cigar in his
mouth, came out of the officers quar-
tiers and proceeded slowly across u
corner Of the ground, apparently OBJ
livious Of the fact that match was In
progress at the time. At this moment
our fullback, a gigantic Yorkshireman
named Bates, who must have weighed
nearer fifteen than fourteen stone,
charging impetuously for the ball,
dashed full into Burnaby. The impact
was terrific, but while the Yorkshire
man, hurled backward by the shock as
though he had collided with noun
tain, lay gasping on the ground, neither
Burnaby's hat nor the angle of his
cigar was in the smallest degree dis
turbed. In fact, he scarcely seemed
to realize that collision had taken
place. When he did 30 he removed his
cigar from his mouth and. with his
pleasant smile, said, Dear me, do
hope am not interfering with the
game" The shout of delight which
went up from the verandas was a
thing to remember.

SNORING.

Ono Of tho Evils We Acquire With
Our Civilization.
It is a truism that no one ever heard
Of snoring savage. In fact, If the
wild man of the woods ard plains does
not sleep quietly he runs the risk of
being discovered by his enemy, and
the scalp of the snorer would soon
adorn the belt of his crafty and more
quietly sleeping adversary. With civ
flization, however, we have changed
all this. The impure air of our Sleep
ing rooms induces all manner of ca
tarrhal affections. The nasal passages
are the first to become affected. In
stead of warming the inspired air on
its way to the lungs and removing
from 1t the dangerous impurities with
which it is loaded the nose becomes
INSTRUCTED. A part of the air enters
and escapes by the mouth. The veil
of the palate vibrates between the two
currents-that through the mouth and
the one still passing through the par
TALLY closed nostrils-lilSe torn sail
in the wind. The snore, then, means
that the sleeper's mouth is partially
open, that his nose is partially closed
and that his lungs are in danger from
the air not being properly warmed
and purified. From the continued op-
GRAFTON of these causes = the increase
of impure air in sleeping rooms and
permitting habitual snorers to escape
killing and scalping-some scientist
has predicted that in the future all
men (and all women, too) will snore.
1t goes along with decay of the teeth
and baldness.-Health.

DIFFERENT STYLES.


How Meredith and Browning Might
Describe the Same Incident.
If Browning and George Meredith
were describing the same act they
might both be obscure, but their OBJ.
Securities would be entirely different.
Suppose, for instance, they were de-
scribing even so prosaic and material
an act as man being Knocked down
stairs by another man to whom he
had given the lie. Meredith's descrip.
tion would refer to something which
an ordinary observer would not see or
at least could not describe. 1t might
be sudden sense of anarchy in the
brain of the assaulter or stupefac-
ton and stunned serenity in that Of
the object of the assault.
He might write: "Wainwood's men
vary in yeracity' brought the baronet's
arm up. He felt the doors of his brain
burst and Wainwood swift rushing
Of himself through air, accompanied
With clarity as Of the annihilated."
Meredith, in other words, would
speak Queerly because he was describ-
ing queer mental. experiences. But
Browning might simply be describing
the material incident of the man being
knocked downstairs, and his descrip-
ton would run:
What then? "You lie" and doormat be-
low stairs
Takes bump from back.
This is not subtlety, but merely a
kind Of insane swiftness.-Gilbert K.
Chesterton.
