Bonsteel of this city, and Jessie Broe, aged fif- teen, living with her parents on a farm near Lake Byron, were drowned in Lake Byron while boating. They were in a metallic boat.

Everybody drank, and much too much, In those days, but especially the upper classes. A well known politiclan discharged his coachman for overturning him in his carriage. “I had certainly drunk too much, sir,” urged the poor man, “but 1 was not very druak, and gentlemen, you know, sometimes get drunk.” “I don’t say you were very drunk for a gentleman,” returned his master, “but you were exceedingly drunk for a coachman!”’—London Illustrated News.

A lion comes at its enemy at full speed, galloping low, and dashes a man standing upright to the ground by the full fmpact of its body. Major In- verarity states that “the claws and teeth entering the flesh do not hurt as much as you would think,” but that the squeeze given' by the jaws on the bone Is really painful. When knocked over he was still keenly conscious and felt none of the dreamy sensations ex- perienced by Livingstone. Major Swalne, struck down by a lloness going full gallop, was uncon- scious for some minutes and did not know what had happened till he found himself standing up after the accident. “I felt no pain,” he writes, “not, I be- lleve, owing to any special interposi- tion of Providence, but simply that the shock and loss of blood made me in- capable of feeling it. There was no pain for a few days till it was brought on by the swelling of my arm on the twelve days' ride to the coast.”~Lon- don Speciator, A Woman Governor. Queens have rnled many nations, but Pennsylvania Is the only one of the United States that ever had a woman for governor. A passage unearthed from Armor’s “Governors of Pennsyl- vania,” page 126, says: “On the 30th of July, 1718, William Penn dled, at the age of seventy-four. By his will his wife, Hannah, was made his sole executrix and assumed the management of colonial affairs, ex- ecuting this difficult task with rare tact and business capacity. ‘She be- came,’ says Watson, ‘in effect our gov- ernor, ruling us by her deputles or lleutenant governors during all the term of her children’s minority.’ " An Explanation. The passionate rhythms of “The Merry Widow” waltz floated through the office, and the boss looked up from his desk impatiently. “Frederic,” he said, “I wish you wouldn’t whistle at your work.” “I alnit workin’, sir,” the office boy replied calmly. “I'm only just whis- tlin’.”—New York Press. ° A Japanese Joke.
