$om«what Puzzling.
It Is not at all surprising that
Americtm vernacular should
times prove n little too much for
Englishman. A ease In point was
of a visitor from London who
to New York last summer and
taken by his host to see one of
league baseball games at the
grounds. The game had progressed
far as the third Inning without any¬
thing In particular happening, when
euddenly one of the Giants pounded
out a three bagger that set everybody
howling with jo.v.
“That was a bird!” ejaculated
Englishman's host after the excite¬
ment had subsided.
A moment later a foul tip sent the
ball flying back to the grand stand.
“And what do you call that?’’ queried
the Englishman.
“That’s a foul,” sakl his host.
“Ah,” returned the Englishman, “a
fowl, eh? Well, it seems to me that
the language of baseball Is most ex¬
traordinary. A fowl Is a bird and a
bird Is a fowl, and yet you use these
terms to describe two plays that seem
The Englishman is still trying to
think It out.—Harper’s Weekly.
Band's Generals.
Therefhas not been an English gen
eral since Marlborough. Wellington
was born at Dangan castle, Meath, of
„„ an old „1,1 Irish THsh family tn miiv onlici called Weslev Wesley and and
christened in Dublin. Wolfe was born
at Ferneaux abbey, Kildare, and chris¬
tened at Westerhatn—nearly In the
same ease ns the Brontes (Brunty).
His grandfather defended Limerick
against William III.
Sir John Moore and the Napiers were
Scotchmen, and so was Abercrombie
(Egypt); so were Napier of Magdala.
Crawford and Clyde. Wolseley, Rob¬
erts and Kitchener are Irish; so was
Gough. The generals and statesmen
who saved India to Great Britain wen
Neill, Nicholson, the two Lawrences
(Irish), Edwards (Welsh) and Rose
(Scotch).
I know of Wolfe because my great¬
grandfather served under him at Que¬
bec. Ills Irish birth was corroborat¬
ed to me by Captain Dunne, once well
kuowu in literary circles of a Queens
county family. I don’t know whether
Scotchmen like to he called English,
but certainly Irishmen do not.—Lon¬
don News.
A Queer Battle.
A traveler In South Africa tells of a
singular combat that he witnessed, lie
was musing one morning with his
eyes on the ground when he noticed
a caterpillar crawling along at a rapid
pace, followed b.v bnud^dg of siiiafl
Sift#.—'Bfethf“cjhiekev _ In their move
ments, the ants would catch up with
the caterpillar, and one would mount
his back and bite him. Pausing,
caterpillar would turn his head and
bite the ant and kill his tormentor.
After slaughtering a dozen or more of
his persecutors the caterpillar showed
signs of fatigue. The ants made a
combined attack. Betaking himself to
a stalk of grass, the caterpillar climbed
up tall first, followed by the ants. As
one approached he seized it In his
Jaws and threw it off the stalk. The
ants, seeing the caterpillar had too
strong a position for them to over
come, resorted to strategy. They be¬
gan sawing through the grass stalk.
In a few moments the stalk fell, and
hundreds of ants pounced upon the
caterpillar. It was killed at once.
Taking the Step.
It happened while a marriage was
being celebrated. The bridegroom did
not liave the usual happy, bashful
look. Instead he seemed to be profound¬
ly unhappy and fidgeted about, stand
Ing first on one foot and then on the
other.
So patent was his state of mental un¬
quiet that the “best man” deemed It
expedient to elucidate the mystery.
“Hae ye lost the ring?” he solicitously
inquired.
“No,” answered the unhappy one,
with a woeful look; “the ring’s safe
enough, but. man, I've lost my en¬
thusiasm.”—Loudon Scrap.
Impressed.
"I appear to have made something
of an impression on that man over
there,” remarked a young lady at a
wedding party. “He has been looking
at me ever since 1 arrived.”
“If you mean that one with the
black mustache, lie’s the detective en¬
gaged to look after the presents!” said
a friend.
Very Little Change.
“It’s three years since l was in this
city,” said a stranger in a restaurant
as lie was walking out after finishing
his dinner; “city looks the same."
“I don’t find much change!” respond
ed the waiter as he took up the nickel
that was left on the table.
Quite Handy.
“The automobile Is a great institu¬
tion.”
"For Instance?''
“You can sit up in it as you pass a
friend and crawl under it when a
creditor heaves into sight.”—Louisville
Courier-Journal.
