What did you do with yourself inside the whale, Jonah?" I asked him.'
Oh, I read most of the time,' said Jonah.
Read ? cried a number of the com pany. Why, I thought it was dark in- side there.'
So it was at first,' said Jonah, but I struck oil.'
There was a good deal of laughter at this sally, when the President of the club queried..
Was the whale steady, Jonah, or did he roll a good deal?'
He was a pretty rockefeller, laughed Jonah.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1904.
A PARACHUTE ADVENTURE.
Mias Cissie Kent, the most experienced parachutist-Professor Baldwin, perhaps, excepted--that ever dropped from the clouds, has had many adventures in the air -one, in particular, standing out above all others in her carcer.
It happened at Wakefield. She ascend-
ed sitting on a trapeze fixed to the ring of the balloon-netting, in the view of a vast concourse of people assembled to see the daring feat. In her hand she grasped, as asual, the steel ring to which the strong cords of the parachute were fixed.
As soon as she had reached the requisite height for a sensational drop, Miss Kent awung into the air from her trapeze. The mudden pull on the parachute ought to have released the latter, which is invariably attached to the side of the balloon by a thin cord.
But a strange thing happened,
The parachute remained fixed to the side
of the balloon, which became tilted, but
continued to ascend, drawing the adventur.
ous lady upwards in its flight.
Miss Kent, grasping the ring of the parachute with her right hand only, was carried farther and farther upwards.
Experience had taught her the value of remaining cool under the most trying cir- She began to think matters
cumstance.
out.
Should she simply hang on and wait, in the hope that the parachute would free itself!
Would it be better to climb up to the side of the ballour, and disentangle the notting, which she felt sure had somehow gripped the parachute? Or was the wisest plan to wait until the balloon began to drop of its own accord to the earth'
Below her, that earth was no longer visible.
As she looked down she saw nothing but a vast sea of clouds, over which she was Even floating rapidly, still ascending. were the parachute free, it would have been very risky to drop then, as she could
not tell where she would descend to
Suddenly she heard a ripping sound above her. In an instant the thought
flashed through her mind that fate had
decided the matter. She was going down-
wards.
And down she flashed through the air Luckily, the parachute was uninjured. Out its canopy spread over Miss Kent's head. Her descent was checked gently. She was moving downwards at a moderate speed. Even at that moment she thought of the thousands who were anvila msiting more into their range Frcsantly she heard a Tataiv y༤༠ ༠༡#༥ from below. She had passed through the bank of clouds, and was visible to the
crowd, whose excitement had reached a tremendous pitch.
'Looking about me,' says Miss Kent, '1 found myself dropping right down into the centre of the town; but there was one very prominent object upon which I fixed iny eyes, and upon which all my thoughts were concentrated. The spire of All Saints Church, 247ft. high, shot clean out of the roofs of the houses below me.
And I was dropping directly toward it! In anticipation, I saw myself impaled on the iron point of the spire. In another second I would be upon it. I closed my eyes. I felt myself brushing past some- thing hard,
Then I looked. I had grazed the stonework of the spire; but I was still
in great danger.
A few seconds Intor I was dashed against a neighbouring factory chimney,
but I held on grimly to my parachute.
In a moment more I found myself sprawling and floundering on top of a stack of timber some fifty or sixty feet high. All around me were similar piles of wood. In fact, I had alighted in a timber yard.
1 sat on the stack of timber until re- scuers came to my aid. I was bruised all over, but vory thankful that things were
no worse.
It is almost needless to 'add that this startling adventure did not prevent Miss Kent fulfilling her next engagement, and many more afterwards.-From the 'Royal Magazino' for Føbruary,

Of every hundred thousand per sona in Berlin, thirty-one committed suicide during 1902; in Saxony thirty-three; and in Hamburg over thirty-seven. Eighty per cent. of the total number of suicides were committed by men, and twenty per cent. by women. Suicide by married couples is growing to an alarming extent in Berlin.

Mr Pollock said that one would think from the speech of the Attorney General that the petitions had not reached him, For the Council had been told, with a flourish of trumpets by the Attorney The Attorney General, in moving the General of some wonderful discovery made second reading of the bill, said that it was the people who signed those petitions

The Attorney General had also said that for amending the Ordinance arose from the the trade in opium pills and opium wine difficulty of putting auch a construction was a small one, but Dr Ho Kai had upon the present definition of the words brought the Attorney General to admit 'Prepared opium' and 'preparation of large in the aggregate.

The definition of 'prepared opium gate be interfered with by the legisla- ture of the Colony ? There was only one was, so far as it related to the in- answer.

No still the learned Magistrate was not satis member of the Council, magistrate, judge fied that any degree of artificial heat or member of executive council could pos bad boon used in the preparation sibly say that the opium used for pills thereof. That was a technical point, and wine had been prepared.

It opium bought in Canton and used here had was not contrary to the law to sell opium or had not been subjected to any degree of in the way sold by the dealers, or an in- artificial heat. It was the duty of the Go-fringement of the opium farmer's privileges. vernment to pass such a measure, as the In the case where the farmer prosecuted a one before the House to give him the pro- dealer, the magistrate could not possibly say tection be was intitled to. It was not that it was prepared opium the dealer was necessary, but it was just as well, to re-selling and he dismissed the case. If the member that the amount paid by the opium farmer for the farm was for the ex- clusive privilege of dealing with opium, and the price paid by the present farmer was more than three times the amount that had been paid by any previous farmer. These illicit exles had been going on for a long time, but in view of the increased price paid by the opium farmer, as a prudent man he could not allow the sales to continue. From inquiries that bad boen made since the necessity for these amend- ments were brought up it appeared that the trade in pills and wine had increased from the time the farmer raised the price of opium. He paid three times the amount of his predecessors, but only increased the price of opium A trifle. That must be admitted, contended the Attorney General, for the price was only advanced one-fifth. The amount of salus of opium has fallen enormously, due to the increased price and the excessive illicit sale of pille and wine. He proposed to deal with one or two objections, which he believed would be used against the mea. The first was that it was a great hardship to prevent the sales of opium pills and wine by persons who were licensed or permitted by previous farmers to do so. And that to provent the sale of opium pilla would be to force the opium habit upon those who were struggling to escape from it. They had made inquiries into those assertions, and a report by the Registrar' General showed that there were eighty- three firms who deal in opium pills and
