Labby's Long Walk.

In Bohemian Days In Fleet Street, is this Labouchere incident. which hap pened when he was in the diplomatic service and was sent on mission to St. Petersburg:
 Before starting he had dispute with the foreign office about his expenses The foreign office had its idea of the scale; Labouchere had his. But the office refused to reconsider its deci- sion. Labouchere took his leave. cross ed the channel and was to all appear ance lost. A week after the appoint ed time he had not arrived at St. Petersburg. A representative of the foreign office was sent out on his trail. He was traced to Paris and from thence to Vienna. where he was run to earth. In reply to his discoverer he coolly said, '"The foreign office refused to pay me my expenses. and I'm walk ing to St. Petersburg"

BARRIE'S LITTLE JOKE.
He Was Failure as Presiding Officer
 and He Knew 1t.


 There is only one recorded instance of Sir J. M. Barrie's acting as chair man of a public meeting. In the Gen. tury Magazine MT. John D. Williams told the story to the American public. It was on the occasion of Burns cele- bration.
 Barrie took the chair as presiding of ficer and then kept to it firmly. Throughout the entire proceedings he did not utter a single word, but re mained as if glued to the horribly con- spicuous chair, loathing his predica- ment, but inwardly amused at the ex- pressions on the faces of all about him, which made dismally clear the fact that he was a failure as presiding of ficer.
 When the meeting was almost half finished Barrie took advantage of a talkative group in front of him and quietly stole away before any one had a chance to miss him. But the next week a well known Saturday review printed satirical article called "Mr. Barrie In the Chair" The thing was simply whitening in its ironical account of the dumb presiding officer who eventually fled, leaving a meeting to preside over itself. The greatest re- gret was naturally expressed by those who had persuaded Barrie to come to the Burns celebration, and among his friends tremendous indignation was o will know. if they have not already found out, that the article was written by Barrie himself!

Women and the Old Olympic Games.

One rule of the original Olympic games could not be followed nowadays without provoking serious troubles. Women were not allowed to be present or even to be anywhere in the district when the games were being celebrated on pain of being hurled from a precipi- tous rock. This rule is believed to have been defied only once, when the offender was pardoned in consideration of the fact that her father, brothers and son had been victors in the games. One particular priestess, however. was not only exempt from this law, but was accommodated with special front seat on an altar of white marble. and women were allowed to enter charots for the races. though they might not be present to see them win.

COLLEGE HAZING.
1t Was Called "Wrecking" In Carthage
 In St. Augustine's Time.

It Was Called "Wreckine" In Carthage
 In St. Ausustine's Time.
 At most American colleges it is called "hazing;" at West Point it is called Crawling" and at English schools Tagging is often applied. When St. Augustine was a boy they called it "wrecking"
 In translation of his "Confessions," for which I am indebted to learned clerical friend, St. Augustine relates what the boys did at the University of Carthage:
 q would take no part in the wild do- ings of the 'wreckers,' cruel and dev- ilish name, which was looked upon as the stamp of the best set. went about with them, and of some of them l made friends, yet I always disliked their ways of going on their wreckings, their wanton attacks upon the shyness of freshmen and the unprovoked af- fronts with which they carried on their malignant amusement. Nothing could be more like the conduct of devils, and what name could be filter for them than 'wreckers.'
 That sounds as if the Carthage sOph- omore was fully as much endowed with self importance as the American sophomore I may add that St. Angus tines criticism of "wrecking'' is one more ancient proof that "boys will be boys."-Philadelph Ledger.

BRAZIL AND ITS COL0RS.
Flag Day There Has Now Become tho
 Great National Festival.

Great National Festival.
 In the republic of Brazil, where the ruling language is Portuguese and a welcoming hand is extended alike to the European and the Asiatic immi- grant, great attention has been paid for some years to the cultivation of a spirit of patriotism.
 The cult of the flag has become more and more ardent ill the hearts of that people, and the feast of the flag" each recurring November is celebrated with more and more pomp and enthu- siasm all over the immense empire and on every Brazilian ship, wherever it may be. In a country noted for it's nu- merous saints days the celebration of Flag day has become the true festal day.
 Commenting on this, Le Bresil Eco- nomique of Rio Janeiro says: Our people are imaginative and simple. A flag undulating in the breeze as it passes by to the strains of martial music, that the officers salute with the sword and before which everybody un- covers, speaks more strongly to the heart of the people than any dry his- toric date which presents nothing in the concrete and which to the ignorant recalls nothing of significance" The lesson of the flag is taught to all the children of the schools in Brazil. and on Flag day they gather in the pub lie squares of the city and town and, as in the United States, sing patriotic hymns.-l News.

NAVAL TORPEDOES.
Intricate Mechanism of These Awful
 Engines of Destruction.

InCFtCdt6 MSCHdnlSn or bneSe AWFUL
 Engines of Destruction.
 At the torpedo's head is an explosive chamber which holds damp guncotton. This is fired by means of rod which. on contact with the walls of ship, is driven in upon a detonator. This fires a primer. which in turn explodes the guncotton.
 The next chamber stores compressed air to the pressure of 2,O0O pounds to the square inch. This is practically the boiler room of the torpedo, for it supplies the motive power to the four cylinder engine which drives 1t through the water on its errand of destruction.
 Next comes the wonderful gyroscopic control of the air motor by which the rudders are adjusted. This is where the intricate mechanism of the torpe- do is so clearly demonstrated. Should it rise or dip in the water this gyro- scope actuates motor which in turn operates rods related with the rud- ders and at once readjusts any defec- tion from the course originally set.
 The motor mentioned is but few inches in length, yet the power it ex- erts by means of compressed air is such that the pressure of half an ounce operated by the steering gear produces a pull of 1GO pounds on the rudders.
 This terrible fish's tail holds wheel gearing for the driving of two pro- pellers and the manipulation of the rudders. The propellers revolve in op- posite directions. thereby preventing the torpedo describing circle.-Lon- don Answers.
