Danfel O’Connell, the Irish orator, spoke in Covent Garden, London, many Yyears ago, and John Coleéman, an old English- actor, pictured him as fol- lows: *‘The audience hung spellbound on the words of the greal orator. His resonant and magnificent voice, flavor- ed with its rich Hibernian accent, held both soul and seuse captive.” As for me, my Celtic bloed toek fire. my heart throbbed with passionate indig- nation or. melted into tears as he dwelt upon the wrongs of my beloved country. Never, surely, was such . born orator! Stern men cried one moment and laughed the next. Strange to say, they never laughed in the wrong place, though once at least he afforded them a . unique opportunity. As he approached the end of his ora- tion; carried away by his theme, he took his wig off (a brown ‘jazey’) put it in his hat and mopped his beauti- ful bald brow with a great flaming The action ap- peared so natural and appropriate that no one seemed to think it absurd or even incongruous.” Couldn’t Hurt His Brain. Strickland W. Gillilan says that Sam Jones and *‘Sunshine Hawks” of Bal- timore, the revivalists, were invited to the home of a good brother and sis- ter in the church, At the dinner table it transpired that the sister had had a sinister purpose in issuing the in- vitation. for she said: *Mr. Jones, 1 wish you’d tell my husband that smok- ing is injurious to him. I know it is, ‘but he won’t believe it. I wish you'd tell him, and it might have some in- fluence over him.” “No, sister,” said Jones, who was himself an inveterate smoker, “I can’t tell him that. Smoking injures only the human brain. And he hasn’t any brain to injure, or he wouldn’t have married you. Now, sister, I came here to eat—that is what I was invited for— not to lecture. So if you’ll carve that turkey, give me a piece of the white meat and Hawks a leg we’ll be all right” And that husband’s gratitude lives yet. Defining a Boundary Line. In 1847 Rufus Choate appeared in behalf of parties whose rights were affected by the boundary line between ‘Massachusetts and Rhode Island, thus described in the agreement; “Beginning,” ete., “thence to an an- gle on the easterly side of Watuppa pond, thence across said pond to the two rocks on the westerly side of said pond and near thereto, thence wester- ly to the buttonwood tree in the vil- lage of Fall River.” In his argument, commenting on the boundary, Mr. Choate thus referred to this part of the description: “A bound- ary line between two sovereign states described by a couple of stones near a pond and a buttonwood sapling in a village! The commissioners might as well have defined it as starting from a blue jay, thence to a swarm of bees in hiving time and thence to 500 foxes with firebrands tied to their tails.”— Minneapolis Journal. When Parasols Began. Parasols when they first came into use must have been cumbersome. Henri Estienne, writing in 1578, speaks of a parasol as capable gener- ally of sheltering four persons from the sun. And when they diminished in circumference the material still re- mained of the heaviest. Red velvet parasols, with heavy gold fringes, were carried by ladies of fashion in the days of Louis XIV. At that-time it was possible when crossing a bridge in Paris to hire a parasol at one end and deposit it at the other, the charge for the accommodation being a sou. Under the regency fashion went to the other extreme. Men’s parasols folded into the shape of a three cor- nered hat and could thus be ecarried elegantly under the arm. Ladies’ par- asols were hinged, so that they could slip into the pocket, for ladies had pockets then.—London Spectator. Longest Indian Word. The longest Indian word on record is the following, that was printed in an Indian Bible in 1661: ‘Wutappesittukqussunnoohwehtunk- quoh. It signifies “kneeling down to him.” ‘When the Rev. Cotton Mather, primi- tive Boston’s Puritan pastor, first saw this consolidated phrase it prompted him to Jestingly observe -that the words of the language must have been growing ever since the dispersion at Babel.—New York Telegram. Proved Himself Great. ‘With a sigh she laid down the maga- zine article upon Daniel O’Connell “The day of great men,” she said, ‘is gone forever.” “But the day of beautiful women is not,” he responded. She smiled and blushed. “I was only Joking,” she explained hurriedly.— Western Christian Advocate. Too Late. . A good many men discover when too late that they made a great mistake in life by not ‘remaining at school a year or two longer than they did.— Rochester Herald. His Mistake. “What cured him of flirting?” “He started a flirtation with a lady who turned out to be selling an ency- clopedia at $200 a set.” — Louisville Courier-Journal. It Would Answer.

Janos Made a Record. Sulcide .18 more prevalent In Ger- many than anywhere else. the most depressing feature .of .the vital statis- tics of that country being the number of children who destroy themselves. But Hungary holds the record for old age in attempted suicides. In 1888 Janos Meryessi, who was eighty-four years old, jumped off the suspension bridge at Budapest into the Danube He was rescued and explained that he wished to end his life, as he was be- coming too decrepit to support his father and mother. This extraordinary statement proved to be true.
