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 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 25. 1741, the two Westminster minis terial candidates were on the fifth day of polling we'll 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 baffled 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.

DISAPPEARING GUNS.
Ease With Which These Coast Defense ,,a Monsters Are Operated.

Ease With Which These Coast Defens. .,;s, :, Monsters Are Operated.
 'Three kinds of big guns a.~ used on the coasts to defend us from hostile invaders When a gun is fired over an emhankment or paraDet it is called a barbette. The earliest guns were of this order. The parapets were notch ed so that the firing could be done over their top.. When the gun is dis charged through port or hole in the embankment it is called casemate The newest kind of heavy artillery is the disappearing gun. which drops back behind it's wall as soon as it is discharged.
 The man who aims the gun has a little platform to one side of the ma chine. Things are arranged so that he can control all operations of the gun from where he stands. Electricity is used for bringing the gun up and get ting it into position. and all the mech anism can be regulated by the gun ner. So wonderfully is the big machine under control that it cannot be fired by any person whomsoever unless it is raised up and in firing position. When it is not in firing position it is called "out of battery"
 So nicely is the gun mounted that all it's great mass can be handled by two men. From the time they start load ing it until the gun is mounted and ready to fire only six seconds inter vene. One of the big guns can dis charge thousand pound proJectilt every fifty-two seconds and put q bat tleship out of commission six miles, away.-Exchange.

BRlGANDS IN SKIRTS.
Robbers In Europe Who Dress Like
 Grand Opera Ballet Girls.

There are places i'll the world where women dress in mems clothing anG men don women's apparel.
 Even in Paris there are womei dressed in cheap. coarse. maScuin. attire. working as teamsters and dai laborers. While it is against the law the police wink at the fact and allow them to earn peacea ably their daily wages
 In Persia in some of the interior parts the women wear the StraiwcSt oldest trouSer garments They Serit to like them, too. from the fact than they cling to them in spite of all ei forts to make them don feminine at lire
 Then there are the Alpine dairy maids, who dress as men when the! go about their work and look pretty if we are inclined to take evidence from the plumbers of men who yearly persuade them to cast off their mascu Hne dress and put on more clingine costumes. But then their eyes are so bright and their cheeks so red that Liicv AophAIi iedIiS IDph lolilciJ III anything they might choose to wear
 Again. far in the north, where it is freezing cold most of the time and people dress to be comfortabl and not to look pretty, the women are actually forced into trousers to keep warm.
 The ancient women warriors always wore trousers. But their reasons were purely military. Besides. they were half masculine ip manner and appear nnce and dressed to accentnate their qualities. They had to make them selves into fierce looking creatures to terrify the men on the opposing side and from all accounts they succeeded admirably.
 AS for the stronger sex. there still seem to be men in existence who wcai women's garb and enjoy it. In certain parts of Greece, Spain and Albania there are bands of desperate brigandS who, when they are decked out for at tacks on strangers or neiGhhors, look for all the world like grand opera bal let girls in their short, brightly color ed skirts, which are made very fun and sometimes even rufIled q bit They seem tremendously proud Of their attire. and rival bands strive to surpass each other in vividness of pat terms and newness of styles.

An Early Postal Experiment.

As long ago as the seventeenth cen tury the attempt was made to prepay letters by using stamps. In 1853 Paris tried system that even provided pill lar boxes for the letters. which were to have q billet. price 1 sol. attached to the letter or parcel. The experiment met the usual experience of the pic neer-ridicule. Mice were dropped into the letter boxes. and when the letters came to be collected it was found that the animals had made a hearty meal of them. As nobody could be sure of the fate of the parcels. the experiment came to sudden end.
