I 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.” • VmTTnVVmVTTTVVTVTTm wttttttttttttttvttttttttt# ► 4 t Four Strong Pointers 3 E :© © 0;e 0:0 0 0:0:©.;©: 0: B 4 ► Some ot the immortalized poets could Tlplt’s OoillllS ◄ K take a scrap of paper and write * ’ 3 £ on it a poem worth untold sums of money ► Rockefeller < r Carnegie could write r Pl,r , orki+ol t a few w >rds mi a sheet of paper 1 ~<iT S £ and it* valuation may represent millions 2 ► A mechanic may take material 2 ► worth $5.00 and convert It into 11 , IVAIA 2 p. watch springs or delicate mechanism worth SI,OOO 2 ► A man can earn a thousand dollars Tluit ic. fonlLh *« \t and put it m bis pocket and lose 1 11,11 1S * OOUfeft 3 £ it, or m a trunk and let a thief steal it • (/ r, lend it to a ► friend and never see it agaiu 2 ► But when a man, woman, boy or girl earns any amount- of 4 ► money and will Z Deposit in Mt.
