ELECTION STRATEGY.
Incident of an Old Time English Par
iiamentary Contest.

Incident of an Old Time English Par
liamentary Contest.
In the days before the institution of
the secret ballot, when the candidate
with the longest purse usually won an
election, former Lord Dundonald,
who refused to give brides. contested
Honiton. but was beaten by an oppo-
nent who paid his electors at the rate
of f5 a vote.
Then the unsuccessful candidate
conceived this brilliant plan, says the
writer Of history Of the Dundonald
family. He announced TO his friends
that he was quite determined to win
the seat next time without bribery
Then he sent the town crier round the
town TO announce that all who had
voted for him in this first election might
repair to his agent, from whom they
would receive flo.
AS comparatively few people had
voted for him. this was not very ex-
pensive process. And at the next cleo
ton Isord Dundonald was elected by
an enormous majority After the tri-
umph several people came to him and
delieately suggested that some reward
was due to such loyalty.
Not a farthing. was the reply.
But. my lord, you gave SO head
to the minority at the last election. and
the majority have been counting on
something handsome on this occasion
perhaps So said the clever candi
date. MY former gift was for theii
disinterested conduct in not taking my
opponents bride of IS. For ME to pay
them now would be to violate my owl
principles. ''-Pearson's Weekly.

Thermometer and Gulf Stream

Investigators have observed that the
thermometer is not necessarily sure
Indication Of the gulf stream; that the
strongest current does not necessarily
coincide with the highest temperature.
The warmth of the water only indi-
Gates its tropical origin, and it may
or may not be accompanied by cur
rent. Thus the warmest water OF
Cape Hatterus is the result of a very
gentle flow coming from the trade
wind region outside the West Indies
The gulf stream itself is between this
warmer water and the 100 fathon
curve.-Shipping Illustrated

MANLlKE MANATEES.
These Queer Creatures Are Linked
With the Mermaid Myth.

These Queer Creatures Are Linked
With the Mermaid Myth.
In semitropical waters of America
there disports a member Of that family
of aquatic mammals to which has been
ascribed the mermaid myth. Related
to the dugong and the now extinct
rhytina. we still have the manatee
This name is preferred by some to
manati, under the impression that the
latter is the plural of the Latin mana
tus" FURNISHED with hands,, though
the name is probably of Mandingo orr
gin.
The manatee Is herbivorous NAM
NAL inhabiting the shadows about the
coasts OF Florida, Mexico. central
America and the West Indies 1t is
not known to attempt the open sea and
does not possess the ability to come
ashore. This animal is somewhat
whalelike in shape, with horizontal
tail fin. 1t Is from eight to twelve feet
in length, the body being scantily COW
cred with hair. The only limbs are the
fore fiippers, low on the side of the
body. This fiipper has no fingers. 1t
and has free motion in all directions
from the shoulder. The elbow and
wrist approximate the human anato-
my in movement. With this crude re-
semblance to an arm the manatee has
/ been said to carry its young. While
1 the statement is not authentic, it is
| quite believable, its possibility being
vouched for by all observers of the
arm in motion.
The head of the manatee is divided
from the body by a slight indication
/ of neck. The upper lip is extraordi
I narily fexible-so much so that each
side can protrude independently Of the
other, and, thus separated into two
lobes. the upper lip can perform the
Y complete operation of grasping food
and conveying it into the mouth. LII
i each jaw are twenty pairs Of two
ridged teeth With this formidable
equipment the manatee is not, how
ever, ferocious. but browses TRANQUILITY
on the water plants of its habitat. In
some views the head is surprisingly
manlike. though far from beautiful.

There seems to be no doubt but
what the Key West guards will go to
Washington to take part in the in
augural parade there on March T.
About $500 is required for travel
ing expenses and there seemed to be
some doubt about raising this amour
at first, but the boys of the company
have announced that they will sub
scribe $500 of the amount them
selves. The other $1,000 will doubt
less be subscribed by the city and
county. The guards are the crack
military company of the state, and
their appearance in Washington
would be a credit both to Key West
and to the state of Florida.
