All in the Eye.

Dr. Fitchett, brother of the eslilor of the Australian Review of Reviews, was a member of a colonial parliament wherein one day a certain eccentric and elderly member-named Taylor insisted on making a speech on education. The oration consisted of a hyperbolical eulogy of the board of schools in Mr, Taylor’s constituency. Din-tor Fitchett interjected some jocose expression of doubt. “Why, sir,” said the irate Taylor, turning upon him, “at this very moment I have a school in my eye ” “No, only one pupil, Mr. Taylor!” retorted the doctor, and the orator’s eloquence was drowned In laughter.
