MIXED METAPHOR,
§ Choice Bunch of “Bulls” From the
House of Commons. '
There is no place like the house of
commons for a “nice derangement of
metaphors.” It will be a long time
before we have a “mixture” equal to
the outburst of an effusive orator who
said, “The British lion, whether it is
roaming the deserts of India or ¢limb-
ing the forests of Canada, will not
draw in its horns or retire into its
shell.”
It recalls the famous “bull” made
by Sir William Hart-Dyke, the Union-
ist ex-minister, who caused uproarious
laughter in the house of commons one
day by remarking: *“The right honor-
able gentleman has caught big fish in
his time. He has gone to the top of
the tree to find them.”
Alluding to an item of £2,000,000 in
the army estimates one year, a certain
member described it as “a flea bite in’
the ocean,” while another, advocating
an increase in the European troops
employed in India, remarked, “You
may depend upon it, sir, the pale face
of the British soldier is the backbone
of the Indian army.”
An Irish member speaking of suicide.
said, “The only way to stop it is to
make it a capital offense, punishable
with death.” It was the same member
who assured the house that “as long
as Ireland was silent under her wrongs
England was deaf to her cries,” while
it was during a debate on the scandal
of packed juries during the Irish trou-
bles that a member in support of the
government exclaimed, “By trial by
jury have I lived, and, by the blessing
of God, with trial by jury I will die.”
There was a wild howl of delight,
too, when some prosy member was
careless enough to remark, “The time
has come and is rapidly arriving,”
which is equal to the cry of the mem-
ber who wished a motion was “at the
bottom of the bottomless pit.”—Lon-
don Tit-Bits.
WHAT WAR MEANS.
Wanton Destruction May Mark the
Progress of an Army.
“All is fair in love and war,” runs the
old saying, and Mr. E. A. Vizetelly in
his volume of reminiscences, “My Days '
of Adventure,” :proves the truth of it.
Referring to the appearance of the rail-
way station at Nantes during the
Franco-German war, he says:
“Never since have I seen anything re-
gembling it. A thousand panes of glass
belonging to windows or roofing had
been shivered to atoms. Every mirror
in either waiting or refreshment rooms
had been pounded to pieces, every gilt
frame broken into little bits. The clock
lay about in small fragments; account
books and printed forms had been torn
to scraps; partitions, chairs, tables,
benches, boxes, nests of drawers, had
been hacked, split, broken, reduced to
mere strips of wood; the large stoves
were overturned and broken, and -the
marble refreshment counter, some thir-
ty feet long and previously one of the
features of the station, now strewed
the floor in particles, suggesting gravel. '
It was indeed an amazing sight, the '
more amazing as no such work of de-
struction could have been accomplished
without extreme labor. |
“When we returned to the inn for
dinner 1 asked some questions. |
“ ‘Who did it?
« ‘The first German troops that came !
here,” was the answer.
“ ‘Why did they do it? Was it be-:
cause your men had cut the telegraph
wires and destroyed some of the per-
manent way?
“Oh, no! They expected to find :
something to drink in the refreshment
room, and when they discovered that
everything had been taken away they |
set about breaking the fixtures.” ”
Steam Power.
The name of the first man to dis-
cover the power of steam will never
be known. As early as 180 B. C., at
Alexandria, Egypt, we hear of ‘‘Hero’s
engine,” a sort of steam using engine.
From the time of Hero to the seven-
teenth century the subject is unheard
of. About 1601, Giovanni Battista del-
la Porta wrote a treatise on the steam
engine. The great name in the his-
tory of steam and its application is
James Watt, 1763.
A Wonderful Gorge.
Yosemite valley, in the southern part
of the Yosemite National park, is a
great gorge about seven miles long and
three-fourths of a mile wide, with a
level park like meadow in its center.
The great cliffs which form the wall
of the valley rise almost vertically to
a height of about 3,000 feet, and in
many places are beautiful waterfalls
which bave a vertical drop of from
600 to 900 feet.

MULTIPLE PERSONALITY.
One Englishwoman Who Showed Five
Distinct Natures.
Rare cases of true multiple personal-
ity are known to have occurred and are
of extraordinary interest. The most
famous is that of “Miss Beauchamp”=
the real name has always most prop-
erly been withheld—which was care
fully studied by Dr. Morton Prince.
By intricate steps he arrived at the
conviction that in her case no fewer
than tive distinct personalities could be
traced. The most vivid of all was the
one who called herself “Sally.”
The normal Miss Beauchamp was a
somewhat neurotic woman. the con-
stant prey of slight ailments and with-
out much zest in life. After a nervous
shock Sally suddenly became able to
take possession of her from time to
. time. at first with apparent difficulty
and then, as it seemed. whenever she
pleased. When Sally was dominant
Miss Beauchamp’s whole nature was
changed. She became lively, irrespon-
sible, fond of all the violent exercises
which the normal woman disliked, exu-
berantly healthy and different from
Miss Beauchamp in every respect. She
could not explain herself. but protested
that she had *‘always been here.” but
could not get control, and one of the
most woiiderful and best attested facts
in this mysterious case is that she con-
fidently asserted her memdry of events
‘which occurred when the real Miss
Beauchamp was in her cradle.
For Miss Beauchamp. the co-tenant |
with her of the same body, Sally had
the most intense dislike. never speak-
ing of her except with contempt and
doing all she could to cause her harm
and annoyance. Miss Beauchamp bad
a special horror of insects and reptiles,
and Sally was accustomed to gratify
her spite by collecting frogs, toads and
spiders and dispatching them to what
the inadequacy of language compels us
to call herself.
Miss Beauchamp detested walking,
so Sally, when she was dominant,
would go for a long tramp after care-
fully leaving all her money behind. and
. then, when she was ten miles or more
from home. would suddenly disappear
and. allowing the original Miss Beau-
champ to assume control. leave the un- |
fortunate woman to make her way
back as best she could. —London Globe.
Delicately Put.
“The Mexicans may be a lawless and
bloodthirsty lot. but when it comes
to putting disagreeable thonghts in a
delicate way they've got us of the
north faded to a dull monochrome,”
said an American just up from Saltillo.
“1 was recently going through the
penitentiary there—on a visit, if you
please—and overtook a party of Mexi-
can visitors.. A young girl among them
was questioning a convict through the
bars of his cell.
**And how long. may 1 ask, before
you anticipate returning home, sir? [
heard her ask in the tone she might
have used to a chance acquaintance at
the seashore. Fancy an American talk-
ing to a convict that way.”—Washing-
ton Star.
WARS.
Written for the WATCHMAN by WiLLiam T.
FITZGERALD.
Now Pruss and Frank in fierce array
For conquest or for glory,
Renew the scenes of yesterday,
Grown old in song and story.
While each in turn have had their day
And Generals Nap and Blucher,
Who showed a great capacity
Their followers to butcher.
Brave Belgium's fields are red again,
Her gallant sons lie bleeding
Where Teuton hordes on hill and plain,
Their warrior ranks are speeding.
The Uhlan meets the Franco charge
With bloody spear and sabre,
While deathly missiles small and large
Mows down both friend and neighbor.
In battle fierce the foemen reel,
The world looks on with wonder
Where Briton stands with ready steel,
And Krupps belch forth their thunder.
And whiskered Russ the silence breaks,
With Kurd and Cossack yelling;
The troubled throne of Hapsburg shakes,
With fire and sword compelling.
Each Nation raise the bloody hand,
And ask from God his blessing,
To crown a work already damned,
And Nations laws transgressing.
God grant that we who still are free,
May live a peaceful Nation;
And have no Kings or Kaisers to
Suppress our civilization.
