SCHOOL-ROOM HUMOUR.

The humour ascribed to school-chlidren is of thres kinds that which has been invented and Taid to their charge by adults; that which has been handed down to us through the ages and that which is of to-day, and chiefly of the now defunct Board Schools, the point of which lies in its unconsciousness. Mr. Macaman, M. P in his volume "School-room Humeur. (Arrow. smith), gives us some of all three kinds, but happily, the majority of his stories are compa |ratively fresh. As Mr. Macnamara says, in con...”. sidering children's witticisms, they take the Idiomatic literally, or they do not quite catch the meaning of a question, or they miss "the right word in favour of another which is curi odely like it in sound. Owing to these causes, some of their definitionsare exceedingly quaint. For example, a Barbarino is defined as a inan who cuts hair; a rebra at like a danksy with a Kendal Hornet's jersey on; and the Equator si a menagerie lion running round the centre of the earth. Historical questions frequently efficit howlers." One boy declared that by the Salic law no woman could become king; another went further, and said that the law for- bade any man descended from a woman inher riting the throne; while a third maintained that Edward 111. would have been King of France

if his mother had been a man.

A special feature is made of fuli and accur in Dublin is said to have declared that the proud will become animals, and when asked for his reason said. "He that humbleth Bim- self shall be exalted, and he that exalteth himself shall be a baste.". The train of a child's thought is often very caridus, as in the case of the boy who, in answer to the question. "Why was Elitha sorry when the Shumaciio's son was dead ?" replied, " Because he didn't like belog lett alone with a widow,” An- other boy considered, with some reason, that it was the fatted calf who was sorry when iba prodigal son returned. Some excellent mathematical answers are also given in this book, for example: "Things which are double each other are greater than anything else"; "Two straight, lines cannot enclose a

The wedding takes place on Thursday July 6, while the many friends and relations of the happy pair ure to be invited to a gar den party on the preceding Tuesday, the 4th. The vessel, which is to convey Lord Bute and bin bride to Scotland, where they are going to spend their honeymoon, will anchor two miles from the little fishing village of Anna gasan, two miles from the bride's home, to which placa they will be conveyed from the church in Losd Butte's carriages. Some Idea of the amount of work entailed in preparation for the occasion may be gathered from the fact that the 'bridegroom is bringing all bis own carriages, servants, and retainers from Scotland, On reaching the sea-shore at Annagasan the newly married pair will receive a final hearty send-off from the tenants of Castle Bel- lingham estate who will be gathered there Boats are to be drawn up in readiness to cons vay them to the waiting vessel from the tenan try the bride will bid farewell to the land of her birth.

At the head of the procession of boats, wisch are to be painted white, is to be the barque containing the bride and bridegroom, manned by rowers attired in white trousers and farseys, and crimson cups embroidered with the Bellingham arms. In the prow of the vessel will fly the flag of Erin, while at the stern the Scotch flag will float in the breeze. →

Immediately following the vessel consalaing the newly married couple will be the best bearing Lord Bute's fourteen Scott pipers, who will play appropriate music on their bagpipes till the steamer is reached. pos The wedding will take place at the Roman. Catholic Parish Church, Kitsaraby and the ceremony is to be performed by the Rev. Patrick Fagan; the parish priest, assisted by. bis curate, the Rev, P. Murtagh;

The evening will see much merry-making and a pyrotechalc display has been arranged to, take place at Castle Bellingham, and bootrek will be lit on the neighbouring Hills,
