THE PRINCES SPEECH.
Csnnins's Reason For ignoring the
ROYAL AudScity

csnning's Reason For Ignoring the
Royal Audacity.
One of the best stories in connection
with the history of the kings speech,
delivered at the opening of each fresh
session of parliament, says Every
body's, is told of George Nv. when
prince regent.
The prince, it is well known, took
his responsibilities lightly and on one
occasion is said to have bet Sheridan
100 guineas that either owing to the
magnetism of his personality or the
flutter which the occupants Of the
lords chamber, were in SO little atten-
ton was really paid to the verbal char
acter Of the speech he was delivering
that he could make any Interpolation
he liked without it being detected.
The bet was taken, and the prince
regent agreed to introduce the words
"Baa, baa black Sheep In the middle
Of the speech.
IF anybody smiles or looks star
tied" he said, 81 lose my bet.'
This exploit actually came off, and at
the close Of weighty allusion, COM
posed by Lord Liverpool, to Welles-
ley's difficulties In Spain the regent
cleared his throat, said, ''Baa, baa
black Sheep" hurriedly and went on
without apparently exciting any re-
mark.
Sheridan related the royal audacity
to Canning.
at is perfectly amazing to me"
Sheridan said. that no notice was
taken. Didn't you hear him distinctly
say. 'Baa. baa, black sheepY"
Il did" rejoined Canning, but as
his royal highness looked you full in
the face at the time took it as per-
sonal alusion. and my delicacy for
babe me to think more about it,

The Rainbow.

When ray of sunlight falls on a
raindrop it is refracted; then part of
the light is reflected from the internal
surface and again refracted on leaving
the drop. The white sunlight is not
only refracted when it enters and
leaves the drop. but dispersion also
takes place. The eye sees bright cir
cles of light for each kind of light, and
since sunlight is made up of different
kinds of homogeneous light we get a
series of circular arcs showing the
spectrum colors. the red being outside
and the other coIorS following in the
order of descending wave length The
whole constitutes a primary rainbow.
/ A secondary bow is sometimes seen
outside the first. This is formed by
the light being twice reflected inside
the raindrops The less refrangible
rays are on the inner side. RainbOws
due to still more internal reflections
are too feeble to be observed. 1t is
possible to get a white rainbow If the
sun is clouded or if there is mixture
of raindrops of very different sizes.

Male Fashions In 1850.

Male fashions of 1850 had other dis
comforts besides long hair. Trousers
were tight and buttoned under the foot
with broad straps Every man who
aspired to be well dressed wore his
coat so high in the collar that the
back of the hat rested on it. This
fashion was so prevalent that. accord
ing to Sir Algernon West. every hat
had crescent of cloth on the back of
the brim to prevent the rubbing of the
beaver or imitation beaver of which
the hat was made. for silk hats were
not then invented.z And from the
same authority we learn that opera
hats were unknown. and in the even
ing folding chapeau bras was al
ways carried under the arm. Nobody
but an apothecary or solicitor would
have dreamed of leaving his 3 hat in
the hail of the house where be was
calling or dining" London Chronicle

fhs cfSWa And liz Snake.

"Strolling In Burma one day." says a
writer in the London Field, 81 came to
ditch bridge, and about ten yards off
there was mass of black soft mud
caused by bIffaloes rolling. On the
bridge was small brown snake about
two feet in length. This snake is an
ordinary jungle inhabitant and is very
venomous. Surrounding him were a
mob of some dozen crows. Whenever
the snake attempted to escape the
nearest bird would jump in and jerk it
back by the TAIL The crows generally
kept just out of the snakes reach, but
on three separate occasions the birds
were struck.
Immediately OH being bitten crow
flew over to the wet mud and swal-
lowed three or four mOuthfuls with
out pause. 1t then perched up in a
tree and took no further part in the
fight. The incident ended In the snake
escaping between the pianks OF the
bridge. What interests me is why did
the stricken birds eat the mud? Was
it taken as kind of antidote or what
was the reason?"

Bio Department Stores Are Managed
Like an Army.
This is like an army" the manager
explained when went to him to as
certain by what system he handled
the big department store. 1.-The as

Aonrwalkers majors. and SO OF down
the line Only matters which are out
Of the ordinary routine are brought to
the commander in chief.
1.-THE organization is built on disci-
pIine. Each individual knows what
work he has to do. and if he fails the
failure reacts directly upon him. Thus
each in turn is responsible to the one
above him until the responsibility

THERE will be change in the
arrangement of names on the
primary ballots this year which
will necessitate an added amour t
of work for those VINO make the
ballots as well as adding expense
to the printing of them. The
change will be what is known as
the rotation of names on the
ballot. That is person, whose
name would ordinarily appear
first in the list of candidates for
any one Office, will appear first in
the first precinct only, which in
this county is the town of Bay
field, the one who appears second
in the town of Bayfield, will then
appear first in the next precinct
(precincts arranged in alphabet
cal order). This will continue
until the list of candidates for
any Office has had first place,
when the first one will be placed
first again. This does away
with the old established idea of
the first candidate having the
best show.
