ENGLISH, SCOTCH, AND TRIBE:

A well-known Irish M.P., who shall be; nameless, recently told the folloring amusing story of a man who complained three friends an Englishmen, Scotchman, and sa Irishman that his sorvant was constantly breaking china. "What do you think I ought to do with ber" he asked plaintively. The practical Englishman, records the Tatler, said, "Dismiss her"; but as she was otherwise an excellent servant ber master was up- willing to do that. "Then take it out of hor: wages suggested the thrifty Boot.

That wouldn't do much good," was the reply, for her wages are less than the "Then amount of damage she does." raise her wages," said the Irishman promptly.

Chinese funks, including some vessels: under foreign faga, are the only sailing vessels now seen in one of the reatest, parts of the world, and oven these are being affected by power vessels in the shape of the motor-driven launches and boats, which are commenting to take much of the river trade in South China away from them.

A LANCASHIRE HOST.

A little while ago, in a Lancashire town not far from Manchester, a clergyman was being entertained over the week-end by one of the well-to-do but plain men of the place. As soon as the guest was settled by the fireride on the Saturday evening, his host (says the fanchester Guardian) asked him, "Are you a teetotaller? Well, non, not exactly," was the reply. The master of the house received the statement with evident relief. *Ah'm reight glad to hear it," he said; "we'n had that sort stayin' with us afore. Now, if ye'd been one of them teetotallis yo'd 'a' been wantin' soda watter lemonade and lime-juice and ginger-ale, and nobody knows what all. But as yo a'nt a teetotaller yo'll be satisfied wi' plain watter, like the rest on us.”'.

LAUREATE AND LADY.

In its biography of the late Poet Laureato the Yorkshire Post recalls that it was at Rome that Mr. Austin met the wife of W. W. Story, the Americaa sculptor. This lady was bent, resolutely on his entertainment; but she had quits forgotten what her husband had told her 39 to his pursuits. In the course of con versation she tried him with Theology, then with the Drama. Finally she found "Pray," she inspiration in his name. said, are you a son of Miss Austin, the novelist ?"

The Suffragettes, though responsible for much wilful damage, aro doubtleg credited with more than they really deserve. Some schoolboys returning Home recently by rail were indulging, as boys' will, in wrestling and such like pranks in the railway carriage in which they were travelling, when one of them accidentally knocked his arm through the window of the door. Being financially "hard up," tbete was no question among them of owning up and paying the damage, and it would have been a risky matter to leave the window down, for it being a cold day, the first stranger to enter the carriage would want the window closed.
