A MONSTER FLAG.
It Floats Above London When Parlia
ment Is Sitting.
Probably few who see the union
jack living over tin* Victoria tower
at Westminster when parliament i
intting realize that the Slag which
flutters so high above the inhabit
ants of London is one of the most
remarkable piece- of hunting in .tie
world.
Small as it seem* to the upturned
gaze more than 450 feet beneath ii
this floating emblem is so enormous
that it* outspread hunting woubi
Completely hide from view a coup;,
of suburban 'ilia.-. Ii is s xtv ie<u
long and forlv-lbc feet wide -so
capacious, in fact, that fS.UOO p -r
goiis could find standing room on
it. The mast from who-e
■ummit it flutters i- as tall as the
Duke of York's column, rise* fron
a base little less exalted t linn the i
cross of St. Paul's cathedral and I
weighs sixteen tons.
'To reach the foot of this tower
ing mast one must climb 3.50 feet
up the dark interior of the Victoria
tower. On entering fho tower
through the low iron door at its
foot and gazing upward one sees
far above n blue light, apparently
no larger than a man’s hand, which
marks the summit of the* tower,and
to this opening the only access is
bv means of a fragile, spiral stair- 1
case which winds around the dark
walls, clinging to them as if for
support.
As we climb round and round
this frail “Jacob’s ladder” we pass
story after story, each in itself a
commodious house of sixteen rooms,
until, panting and perspiring, we
pass flic eleventh of these stories
and emerge gratefully into the
open air.
Arrived at the summit, more
marvels await us. We find that the
parapet, w hich from the bridge far
below looks but a tiny speck of
stone, is actually thrice the height
of the average man. The crowns
which adorn the four turrets are
five feel across and weigh a ton
apiece. The lions which guard the
corners are leviathans, towering
twenty feet high, and the roof of
the tower, we gasp to learn, would
turn the scale at 400 tons.
But perhaps the greatest wonder
of all as we stand on this dizzy em
inence is the far stretching view
of the world's capital, dwarfed to
the dimensions of a tov metropolis,
i along whose narrow ribbons of
I at roots men crawl as ants and the ]
largest vehicles are slow moving
points of black.- London Tit-Bits.
Why the Audience Laughed.
At a public entertainment recent
ly a conjurer had an experience
which was highly comical, though
quite disastrous from a professional
point of view . Having produced an
egg from a previously empty bag,
he announced that lie would follow'
up this trick by bringing Iroin the I
hag the lieu that laid the egg. This
; little arrangement lie left to his
I confederate to carry out. Mo pro
ceeded to draw the bird from the
! bag, but what was his surprise on
finding that the alleged lion was an
old rooster, which strutted about
i the stage with raffled feathers and
offended dignity and set up as vig
orous a crowing as if it had just
awakened from its nocturnal slum
bers. The whole audience shrieked
with laughter, and the unfortunate
conjurer made ,i bolt lor the dress
ing room. —London Mail.
PROPOSALS BY PROXY.
TH* Advantage a Chinaman Has In
Case of a Rejection.
Dr. I».iae T. Headland, u resident
<»f Pekin for many years, throws a
new light on the new women of
China in the Travel Magazine.
Taking up the relations between
the sexes and especialiv the Chi
nese method of getting a wife, the
writer repeats a conversation with
a young Chinaman who had recent
ly become engaged to a Chinese
maiden with whom he had never
spoken.
“We students have a very great
advantage over the old Chinese
method of finding a wife and get
ting engaged,” said my Celestial
friend.
“What do you mean?” I inquired.
“Well, you see by the old Chi
riese method a man can never see
his wife until she is brought to his
home unless he eon bribe the mid
dleman to allow him to stand on
the street corner and see her pass
; by in a cart.”
“And what advantage do vou
have?”
“We see the girls in church,” he
answered. “They also can sec us.
We have sisters in the girls' school,
they have brothers in the college,
and when we go home during vaca
tion we can learn all about each
other.”
“This is an advantage.”
“In my judgment,” he continued,
“we have a better method than even
you foreigners have.”
“liow is that?”
“Well, you see,” he continued,
“after we have selected the lady we
want we can have a middleman go
and ask her for us. while you have
to go and ask the lady yourself.”
“Rut.” ! objected, “we can get
so lnueh better acquainted by our
method.”
“Yes, that’s true.” he admitted,
“but doesn't it make yon awful lv
angry if you ask a girl to marry
you and she refuses ?”
It, was necessary to admit that
there were advantages in the mid
dleman method which hail never
occurred to me, and. while I was not
ready to acknowledge that liis new
found method was better than
mine, 1 could still see that the force
which brought it about was bring
ing woman out of her seclusion and
placing her on a level with her
brother and her future husband.
A Bet and Itc Odds.
A notorious gambler who died
• some time ago once wagered a
thousand dollars to one that six
would not be thrown with a pair of
dire ten limes in succession. Hi.-
offer was taken up by a fellow club
man. The dice were brought, and
his opponent actually threw six
nine times in succession. The gam
bler then offered $-170 to be free of
the bet. The other man declined,
hud his tenth throw and failed to
get another six. dust to show how
l ° .
very little the average mail knows
about the doctrine of chances, a
well known mathematician has
pointed out the real odds about
this bet. The chances were no less
than tio,4i>ii.l7.-> to 1 against six be
ing thrown ten times in succession.
Therefore the real bet should have
been about stioo.(>oo to a cent
against stu b a thing happening.
The Herring Line.
A senator apropos of fame said
at a Washington luncheon:
“What is fame, after all? Kip
ling when lie lived in Brnttleboro
took a trip to Montpelier, and tin
first evening lie came down to the
hotel dining room lie overheard this
dialogue between two waiters:
‘‘First Waiter—Do you kuow who
that is. George? i
“Second Waiter—No. Who is it? .
“First Waiter—That’s the eele- 1
bra ted Kipperin.
“Second Waiter—What’s hedone ?
“First Waiter—Hanged if 1 know.
Fish line, ain’t it?”—Washington j
Star.
Mother'* Task.
When mother gels breakfast she
must remember that father likes his
breakfast food without cream. I
Johnny wants both cream and sug
ar. Susie doesn’t like breakfast ,
food at all and must have a substi
tute. Mary lias to liu\e grapefruit j
and the rest of the family want or
anges or apples. No two agree on
anything, but she must remember
what each one wants or the family
doubt her devotion. What is it, do
you suppose, that keeps the mother !
of a large family from going cruz\ ?
—Atchison Globe.
Hi* Manly Spirit.
A sturdy Scotchman had been
having a dispute with his wife,
which resulted in hi* taking refuge
under the bed. As she stood oo
guard with a good sized stick in her
hand he called lustily from his re
treat: “Ye can lamb me and ye
can bate me. but ve c-anna break ma
manly spirit. I’ll ua come oot.”
