Long Drawn Out Elections.

No complaint with regard to undue limitation of polling time was possible In the old parliamentary days. The danger was tbat polling might be pro- longed for a fortnight or a month. Drastic action to bring the poll to a close once provoked riot in the Vest minister division of London. At the general election that began on April 9. TAI. the two Westminster minis terial candidates were on the fifth day of polling well ahead, but an opposi. tion party of electors approaching the hustings in great force. the high bailiff {who favored the ministerialists) de- clared that he feared riot and closed the poll The batlled voters rioted and the military were called out. The high bailiff had afterward to apologize on his knees to the speaker and pay a heavy fine.

ssThey say that a lawyer has been 1ived by his stenographer," said an Attorney, at a recent lecture. That h true, undoubtedly, because law yer's stenographer, who is observing, gets many points of law out of her work.

,When Buttons Mere Unknown.

How did the world manage for cen turies without buttons? In early ages they were unknown. The voluminous garments of oriental races are still at tachcd to their wearers by means ,o1 straps, as were those of the Greeks anf Romans. The Normans were respon siblr for the invention. The etymology of the word points to the derivation ol the idea Bout. an end ors extremity and boutcr. to push, show that the button was originally a push piece. like tho buttons of our modern electrif hells The Normans probably conceiv ed the idea from the rough knots ol their furniture. on which most liEel! lucy hung their garments. Once in troduccd. buttons came rapidly into common use.

SHE MET THE SULTAN.
But Willy Reschid Pasha Fooled the Lady and the Monarch.

But Willy Reschid Pasha Fooled tho Lady and the Monarch.
 A certain Countess of Londonderry wanted to meet the Sultan Mahmud H., to whom no European lady had been presented, but Lord Ponsonby the British ambassador, refused tc trife with precedent. Lady London derry then had talk with Reschid Pasha, the Turkish minister for for eign affairs. The willy Reschid, desir- ing to do his best for her ladyship. made known to the sultan that q per son had arrived at Constantinople with q wonderful collection of most valu- able jewelry for sale and ventured humbly to suggest that his imperial majesty might like to see the gems. The sultan was interested, and an 1n- terview was arranged, but Reschid merely told Lady Londonderry that she would be presented and that the sul- tan. having heard of the fame of her iewelry, had particularly requested that she would put it all on when she came. The gratified lady did so.
 On her arrival at the palace Reschid Pasha conducted Lady Londonderry into the presence of the sultan. Her dress glittered with diamonds. pearls, turquoises and other precious stones. 7 "Pekkeiw cGood!) said the sultan ds Lady Londonderry courtesied. "She has magnificent jewels.'
 Reschid (to the lady)-His majesty graciously bids you welcome.
 Lady Londonderry bowed and ex- pressed her thanks in French. the lan- guage used by Reschid.
 Rescfid (interpreting)-She says she has other jewelry, but could not put on all.
 Sultan-Ask her what is the price of that diamond necklace.
 Reschid-His majesty inquiries wheth- CT this is your first visit to Constanti- nople?
 Lady Londonderry-This Is my first visit, and I am delighted. ! Reschid tto sultan)-She asks mill lion of piasters.
 ] Sultan-That is too much.
 Rcschid tto Lady Londonderry)-His majesty asks whether you have seen the mosques. If not. he offers you a firman.
 Lady Londonderry expressed her thanks.
 Sultan-What price does she put on that set of turquoises?
 Rcschid lto Lady Londonderry)-His majesty says that perhaps you would like to take walk in the garden. Lady Londonderry expressed her thanks and said she would like to see the imperial' garden.
 Reschid (to sultan)-She says 100000 piasters
 Sultan-Take her away. shall not give such prices.
 Reschid tto Lady Londondery)-His majesty graciously expresses satisfac. ton at having made your acquaint ance
 Lady Londonderry courtesied low and withdrew from his majesty's presence to visit the garden with the amiable and courteous Reschid, and afterward she had a delightful story to tell to hel friends of the kindness with which the sultan had received her.

SAVED BY A GHCsT.
Curious Story of a Specter and the
 Lonely Yorkshire Moors.

Lonely Yorkshire Moors.
 It is not often that we hear of a ghost saving q mans life. There is. however. an instance. and it seems to be toleruby we'll authenticated. and materialists will hardly know how to account for It. Here is the story. IL Is of the Yorkshire dales and of good many years ago.
 A clergyman whose duty lay fin that wild country. where strong race of men and women lived principally on bacon and oatcake. used to ride or walk to visit the people. He had been raising subscription in a time of scarcity and had to be out late at night One evening on his outward journey he suddenly became aware of figure moving beside him. and in tke gloam- Ing he recognized his brother. who had died some time before He was too awestruck for words. and after keep ing by his side for some distance over the lonely moor the figure disappear ed. He noted the time and the vision. but nothing occurred to throw any light rpon 1t.
 However. some years after he had taken the duty at q jail in another part of the country one of the prisoners ly- ing under sentence desired to make a confession. After telling him of lot of crimes he said: 'I wor very near once taking your life. sir. It was in that bad year. and I heerd as how you went carrying money about in those lonesome dales. hid behind the big howtlers of the brown moor. l saw you coming up and waited till yo' should bc near enough. but that night YOU were not alone"
 This is q startling tale and the stronger because the vision or what ever it was was seen by two people. The anecdotc occurs in an article twen. ty years ago in Macmillan's Magazine by Lady Verney.

ABANDONED INFANTS.
The Baby Post" Once Did Rushing
 Business In England.


 Business In England.
 There once fnurished in England g rcgular baby post" the rates of post ,ge being fixed on strictly business basis. according to distances traversed The curious institution came into ex- stence in connection with the found ling hospital in Guildford street. When this charity was first established Il was understood that its operations would be confined to London and its environs. But the people of the coun- try towns and villages heard of it and showed a decided disposition to share m its advantages; hence the 'baby post,''
 All over the country there were men and women who entered vigorously into the business of carrying chll- dren to London and depositing them at the gates of the foundling hospital. The charge was gllineas from distant localities like York and Monmouth, down to q guinea from places situated within thirty to fifty miles of the ne tropols. The unfortunatei infants were borne on horseback in panniers. two to each punnier, or in wagons lined with straw, for which the charge was some what less; a. ..i; s. Naturally abuses grew up in con nection with the traffic. But. even apart from; them. the mortality among the posted" babies was terrible Thus out of 14,03l received at the hospital in four years. only ,4.4OO lived to be :ilpprenticed out" being mortality oi more than 70 per cent. !;
 Eventually parliament passed a measure abolishing the practice. and the "baby post" ceased. London An sWerS. ~
