FAST TRIP THROUGH BRITAIN
Itinerary Enables Tourist. If He
Wishes, to ‘‘Do" the Islands in
the Course of Seven Days.
How to “do” the British Isles in a
week is the latest scheme for hustlers.
A dash around London, a flying de
scent on one or two cathedral cities,
a race through Scotland and a glance
at Killarney—this what is open to
those who want to see the country
in a hurry. Tourist agents say that
the idea is catching on with Ameri
cana. Indeed it was an American who
first suggested it.
Assuming that the tourist begins
his trip on Monday, he devotes that
day to the show places of Loudon,
winding up with a theater in the eve
ning. On Thursday he goes to Wind
sor and Hampton Court and on his
return to London lias time to go to a
music hall. On Wednesday he leaves
London for Peterborough, sees the
cathedral and gets to York at three
o’clock.
At York the tourist has plenty of
time to visit the Minster and other
historic buildings before catching the
6:15 train to Hamburgh. He coaches
through the Trossachs and takes
steamer through Txich Katrine and
Loch Lomond. Then the train to
Glasgow.
After dinner the hustler takes the
night train out of Glasgow by way of
Androssan to Belfast, reaches Dublin
in the afternoon and takes the night
train to Killarney.
WENT DEEPLY INTO DETAILS
Identification That Undoubtedly Waa
Complete, but Could by No Meana
Be Called Complimentary,
Stephen Haegen, manager of a
Harlem bank, at a dinner recently told
the following anecdote: Many years
ago, while spending a vacation in a
city In the upper part, of the state, he
visited 3ome friends in a bank. While
there he saw a severe-looking woman
move up to the teller’s window and
request that a small check be cashed.
She asked the man in the cage to
call up the person from whom she had
received the check and he would Iden
tify her.
The teller called up the man and
asked him to describe the woman. Ha
did so in the following manner: “She
looked like the crankiest person In
the world. She was dressed in the
fashion of about five years ago. I
think she is an old cat. She wore a
blue straw hat, but then it may be
green, and I think she paints. She
wore two fake diamond rings. Good
by, old man.”
Tree-Bark Blankets.
They have trees for blankets In
Ecuador, and they like them, too.
They are fond of the firm touch of
the bark against them as they
sleep. ' «■
We would probably think they
were “zero In covering,” and we
would doubtless wake up in a much
bestlffened condition If we slept under
a wood covering.
But the native Indians are most
enthusiastic, according to J. Jame
son, a traveler and lecturer, who
has recently returned from those
parts.
The blankets are made from the
bark of a tree which Is cut particular
ly thin. It is pounded and moistened
and then pounded some more and put
out into the sun to dry. And a moat
desirable and economical blanket it is,
lasting anywheres from two to five
years.
*'H!s Goose Is Cooked.*
The expression, “his goose Is cook
ed,” appears in various forms, and
means that hi3 cause Is ruined. It
has some reference to the common
but erroneous opinion that “goose” Is
synonymous with “fool.” The idea
has crept into more than one language
and "will not down.” It Is generally
understood that “cooking his goose” is
a phrase which originated when the
king of Sweden, on approaching a hos
tile town, excited the contempt of the
Inhabitants by the smallness of his
army. To express this they hung out
a goose for him to shoot at, whereup
on the king set fire to the town to
“cook their goose.”
Priced Truth of Answer.
On a visit to St. Louis, Archbishop
Ryan, a noted Philadelphia prelate,
rode Jn a carriage to the parochial
residence with Bishop Olennon, who la
rather diminutive In size and of slight
build, especially in the stomachlo re
gions, while Archbishop Ryan is tall
and very robust. As they alighted from
the carriage, Archbishop Ryan said to
his companion: “Bishop Glennon, I
once was asked to explain the differ
ence between a bishop and an arch
bishop. I answered” (and the arch
bishop extended his arms in a semi
circle from his own healthy body, at
the same time glancing rather sharply
at Bishop Glennon), “ The difference
is all in the arch.’ ”
Ad Aetra Per Repartee.
“All right,” said Chollie, as he
gathered himself together after her
father had thrown him out of the
house. “I’ll have you indicted for
this.”
“Assault and battery, I presume?"
grinned the old gentleman.
“Not on your life,” said Chollie.
“Under the Sherman act your daugh
ter and I were about to swap vows,
and that kick of youra was distinctly
in restraint of trade!”
And the old man was so pleased
that he relented and the next day the
engagement was announced.—Har
ear's Week!*
MISSIVES LONG IN TRANSIT
Correspondence Sent From Paris Dar
ing Stcge Took Years to Reach
the Consignees.
What would Americans say If they
received mail matte.- that had been de
layed in transit for a lifetime? In
France, a few years ag >, letters for
3(W) persons were delivered—to as
many of the addressees as were liv
ing—that had been mailed years be
fore. They were delivered, moreover,
at the earliest possible moment; al
though the distance between the send
er and the receiver was in many cases
only a few miles.
During the siegp of Paris by the
Germans in 1870 the postothee admin
istration hit upon the expedient, in ad
dition to the balloons, of Inclosing let
ters in small zinc globes, water tight,
and hermetically sealed, and dropping
them tnto the Seine There they float
ed, if they were not captured by the
Germans, down the river to the French
lines, where a net stretched across
the river gathered them In, and they
were sent on their way.
Unfortunately for the French, the
Germans discovered the character of
these zinc floats, and as they could not
hope to see and fish out by ordinary
means all the letters that went down
thus, they stretched across the river,
at Villeneuve Saint Georges, a net of
their own and effectually stopped this
system of postal communication.
the zinc halls and their jise were
pretty nearly forgotten, when, some
years ago, a fisherman found in the
Seine, near Villeneuve, a queer looking
glohe of zinc. With a large knife he
opened it, and found 1100 letters, at.lli
iegibile, and all dated December, 187<).
They were delivered to the postal au
thorities, and after this long wait la
the river went on their way.—The
Sunday Magazine.
COLORS NOT BORNE IN WAR
British Troops Go Into Action With
out the inspiration of the Regi
mental Colors.
The colors of the British army are
made of silk, with gold-fringed edgea
and cords and tassels of crimson and
gold, mounted on a staff eight feet
seven inches long.
To insure their absolute correctness
in matters pf detail and pattern, an
official of the Heralds’ College act*
as “inspector of colors.” Ho has to
furnish drawings and designs, and i*
responsible that an unauthorized de
parture Is made from them.
Every infantry battalion has two
colors—“the wing's” and “the regi
mental.” The former is always of the
game pattern, and shows the union
Jack on a hjue ground, while the lat
ter has a wreath of roses, shamrock*
and thistles, with the regiment's motto
and crest, surrounded by a list of the
various battles in which it has taken
w.rssL;....
Regimental colors are no longer car
ried into action, but are now left be
hind at headquarters when a battalion
proceeds on service. This has been
the rule since the Boer war in 1881. A
couple of years earlier two young offi
cers of the South Wales Borders
were killed while endeavoring to pre
vent the colors, of which they had
charge, f, ,n falling ir, o the hands of
the enemy at the battle of Isandhl
wana.
Japanese Like Other Babtee.
There Is a mistaken but popular ba
llet that a Japanese baby never cries.
There Is really no reason why be
8liquid. Replete with nourishment
and rarely denied a wish, he blossoms
like a wild rose on the sunny side of
the hedges, so sweet and so unre
strained.
His life is full of rich and varied In
terests. From his second day on
earth, tied safely to his mother's
back under an overcoat made for ft o,
he finds amusement for every waking
hour In watching the passing show. He
Is the honored guest at every family
picnic. No matter what the hour or
the weather, he is the active member
in all that concerns the household
amusements or work.
From his perch he participates In
the life of the neighborhood, and Is a
part of all the merry festivals, that
turn the streets Into fairyland. Later,
hts playground Is the gay market place
or the dim old temples.—Francis Lit
tle, In the Century Magazine.
Question of Degree*.
On a writ of error to the supreme
court of one of the territories, counsel
for plaintiff in error sharply criticized
the rulings of the trial Judge. When
the counsel for the defendant In error
began bis reply, the following took
place:
“May it please your honors, before 1
finish my argument, I think I can show
you that the trial Judge was not as
crazy as counsel on the other Bide
would make him out to be.”
By a member of the oourt: "Let me
understand you; you admit the fact ol
insanity of the trial Judge, but deny
its degree?”—Case and CommenL
Gentle, but Pointed.
A young practitioner bad one trou
blesome patient—an old woman who
was practically on the free list, but
who registered more kicks than all
the other patients put together. One
day she called to roast him for no!
showing up when she called him the
night before. “You can go to see youi
other patients at night,” she com
plained. ‘‘so why can’t you come whea
I send for you? ? Ain’t my money at
good as the money that them riot
people pay you?" ”1 don’t know
ma’am,” answered the doctor, gentfF
"I have never seen any of yoora.’*
