 Everything, however, was Bohemian except the audience, and little BOhe- milan Oil the stage toiled desperately for three hours to soften the starch of the conventional NTtishers, all in vain. How 1 pitied the poor artistic creatures who had been lured into this den of somnolent responsibility and who went on hunting for smiles and digging for laughter. The sight of the audience of men of marble and women of ice, coldly staring at the pathetic efforts Of French, Danish, Spanish and Norwegian Bohemians to breathe joy into their chilly veins, is still haunting me. Hagenbeck may teach a hippotamus to dance the tight rope, but l doubt if even he could teach an iEnglishman to be Bohemian.

The last vessel which reached the Thames with gold fish on board meant big loss for the Italian ship pers for it has been found impossible either to get the fish out or to change the water with the result that the whole consignment died. The Italian shippers have accordingly re solved not to send any more to the Thames until the strike is over.

 It is intended to celebrate at Glas gov the centenary of the launch of the first steam-driven passenger boat on the Clyde, the Comet The actual launch should have been commemor- ated last week, but August (the day selected for the formal opening) is quite an appropriate date as it was then that the pioneer of the great steamship triffic of the world first arrived at Glasgow
 An interesting exhibition of ship models from those of the year 1902 down to the Lusitana will form a feature of the celebration.
 One quaint industry of London which is bigger than most people inn agine has been killed for the moment by the strike at the docks. This is the trade in gold fish.
 These fish come to England from Italy. The expense of sending them by rail is prohibitive, so it is custo- mary to send them to the Thames by water, and they come to London pack ed in small tanks, each tank holding somewhere about a thousand, packed so closely that the fish almost touch each other. Under the circumstances, the water in the tank must be chang ed often.

Singing is the last innovation in troduced by the German prison au thorities for the diversion of convicts Tn the famous Loneterm prison ir Berlin prisoners who possess musica talent are formed into class which assemblies every night in the center corridor just before the eonvicts go to bed, to sing sacred song.
 These songs reverberate through all the galleries of the prison and into the cells, the doors of which are opened for the purpose. On Sunday afternoon all the convicts gather in the prison chapel to join in choral singing. As silence is strictly en- forced at the Moabit prison the con- victs look forward to the opportunity to sing with almost childish delight.

PROGRESS|VES FOR
REORGANIZATION
Bull Moosers Will Name New
Party Officers on De-
cember q.

Resembling their action of a week
ago when a city committee was per
manently organized, members of the
Progressive party last night decided
to regard the present organization
merely as a temporary one. A per-
organization will be effected
on December 4, at the Central High
School, if it is possible to secure ac-
co%mmodations there.
Frank L. Driver had been elected
as chairman and william H. Smith
as secretary. Algernon T. Sweeney
raised the point at last nights session
that the previous meeting was called
without an opportunity for due repre-
sentation and that n action then
taken should be looked upon as tenn
porary. He had perfect confidence,
he said, in the chairman selected. h,it
was of the opinion that If o%rgan.za-
ton were effected under different
circumstances better results could be
obtained.
Chairman Driver said that he had
no objections and was ready to
acquiesce in the suggestion that the
organization previously affected be
regarded as temporary. MI. Sweeney
added hat he had a plan Of organiza-
ton which contemplated a Progress
sive worker in every block with scouts
on the four faces of the block, who
be working all the year for the
Progressive cause.
After a long discussion George M
Judd offered a motion to the effect
that the present organization be
looked upon as temporary and that
the chairman appoint q committee OF
sixteen. or one from each ward, to
a plan for permanent organiza-
ton, draft bylaws and report back at
the next meeting. The motion was
unanimously. Mr.. Driver will
name his committee this week.

Sir Frederick Wedmore, a we'll
known art critic, has published most
interesting volume of memories, IN
which he tells good things about In
teresting people whom he has met.
One of the best stories is that OF
Queen Victoria and her statement that
she would not meet David" She
evidently championed Bathsheba. The
story runs thus:
'In some such terms as the follow
ing, Lady Southampton felt herself
inspired to address the queen one day:
DO not you think ma'am, one Of the
satisfactions of the future state will
be, not only our reunion with those
whom we have loved on earth, but our
opportunities of seeing face to face so
many of the noble figures of the past
of other lanGs and times? Bible
times, for instance. Abraham will be
there, ma'am; Isaac, too, and Jacob
Think of what they will be like! And
the sweet singer of Israel He, too.
Yes, ma'am, King David we shall see,'
And, after a moments silence, with
perfect dignity and decision, the great
queen made answer, I will not meet
meet David! Public Opinion.
