Me. ErankIin a. IA. Bar.


Among the state papers for the year
1885 may be read letter from John
Bartelet to Henry Wills minister.
Thomas Cromwell. stating that In ac-
cordance with the recent act the mayor
and aldermen had chosen MIR. Pryseley
to attend the English parliament as
the representative OF Calais and that
he had made certain arrangements
about his passage into England.
One Thomas Boyd was elected as his
colleague, aud Calais continued to send
M. P.'s to Westminster until. In the
reign of Mary. we lost the stronghold
we had held for over two centuries.
This Is the only lnstunre IN England's
history Of anything like colonial rep.
resentation at Westminster unless In.
deed we reckon one or two exceptional
occasions when colonial grievances
have been voiced at the bar Of the
house Of commons. as they were so
brilliantly by Benjamin Franklin.

him Of "a master examined by a par.
eel OF schoolboys."--London News.

A Mol.'s nsst.

Among common animals few have
been less studied In their life history
than the mole. Mr. Lionel Il. Adams
says that under the fortress" which
the mole constructs above the surface
of the ground viii always be found a
series Of tunnels running out beneath
the adIaeeat field. A curious feature
almost invariably found Is a perpen'
dicular run penetrating about foot
below the bottom OF the nest and then
turning upward 10 meet another run.
A mole Is never Eound In his nest, al
though Il may yet be warm from his
body when opened. Guided by smell
and hearing. a mole frequently locates
the nest Of partridge or pheasant
above his run aud, penetrating IL from
below, eats the eggs. The adult mole
is practically blind. hut there are EN-
hryonic Indications that the power OF
sight In the race has deteriorated.
