Out of Bdsrku Alto4her For a. dumber of Vmri Bolingbroke's . Way With the Xoble Lordi. There is an. idea in the minds of very many persons that the British house of lords is supreme and can do pretty well what it pleases. This, however, is a

mistake. On several notable' occasions 4

their noble, lordships have been paralyzed and ha ve got very much " the worst of it. in stormy arguments with the gentlemen of the house of commons. The first occasion on which this happened was when the peers ventured to differ with the long parliament, which was at the time engaged In a life and death struggle with Charles I. "The commons on this occasion wasted no valuable time In talking, but promptly abolished the lords altogether and turned them, archbishops, dukes, belted earls and all the rest of the gorgeous coroneted crowd, into the street. The gilded chamber was vacant. For half a dozen years or so the country got on without any house of lords. All the checks the house of lords have received have not been of such a drastic nature as this, of course. Various ministries, finding that-the

peers were unwilling to pass their proposed bills, have resorted to the threat to create enough new peers to swamp the" house of lords. These new peers would, of course, have been pledged beforehand to vote for the ministry

creating them. . In 1711 the prime minister of the daj-, the daring and unscrupulous Viscount Bolingbroke, was anxious to 'terminate the desolating and ruinous war with France, which had been raging on and off for twenty years. To effect this purpose he had drawn up the treaty of Utrecht It was necessary at that time that lords and commons should agree to a treaty before it would become valid. The commons

assented to the treaty, but the lords declared that they would have none of it and that the war must go on, whereupon Tiolingbroke coolly but firmly informed them that, rather than

see himself defied by them, he would create a whole army of new peers to vote for the treaty. The story goes that ha had a regiment of the I-ife guards paraded under the w indows of the house of lords and threatened to make every trooper into a noble lord if driven to it. He did make twelve new peers, and then the lords gave in. , The Liberal government of 1832, with Earl Grey as prime minister, used the same threat. They wished to pass the first reform bill. The lords hated" this bill bitterly. Until then they had been practically an oligarchy, with all the real power in their hands. The franchise had been so limited that only rich men, and generally only the nominee of some great nobleman, could get into parliament. The reform bill altered that. It gave the smaller men a chance. The lords expressed their deliberate intention of wrecking the bill. Earl Grey retorted by extorting from King William IV. who didn't like reform bills, but dared not oppose the wish of the nation for fear of a revolution permission to call up to the house of lords as many new peers as should be necessary to carry his bill. The mere threat was enough, for the lords. Tbey bad no wish to see their order made cheap and ridiculous, as would have been the case had peers become as plentiful as blackberries.

It used to be the custom in the Brit

ish army for all officers' commissions to be purchased. That is, an officer, instead of getting into the army by means of a competitive examination and rising by merit, came straight from school, without knowing anything of the new duties he was about to assume, and had a commission bought for him. After that, instead of beinjj promoted as a reward" for his services, he used to buy each promotion. If he had no money his chances of toeing promoted were about a thousand to snt. The result was that otScers who had grown gray in the service and fought in many battles remained subordinates all their lives, while the sons of wealthy families who had not seen a quarter of their service jumped over their heads by having their waypur; chased up for them to be colonels' aiid generals.

witn tnis purcuase system, me loras did not wish it to be abolished. Consequently, when Mr. Gladstone introduced a bill to abolish purchase in the army the house of lords was not disposed to give it ft kind reception. They threw out the bill and imagined that they had won a glorious victory. But Mr. Gladstone found that Queen Victoria had the power to abolish purchase in the army by her own act if she pleased. He induced the queen to do this by means of a royal warrant. And the house of lords could no more Interfere with a royal warrant than they could knock the dome off t. Paul's by throwing their coronets at it. Pearson's 1-ondon Weekly.

Man and Woman. "Man, composed of clay, is silent and ponderous," preached Jean Raulin in the .fifteenth century, but woman gives evidence of her osseous origin by the rattle she keeps up. .Move. a sack of earth and it makes no noise; touch a bag of bones and you .are deafened with . the clitter clatter." London Chronicle.

The laws of conscience which we pretend are derived from nature proceed from nature. Montaigne.

THE GAELIC TONGUE.

Peculiarities of the Language of the Highland Scotch. There are in Gaelic no neuter nouns. Thej' are all either masculine or femi

nine. Sun, moon, star, tree, rock, stone, etc., are feminine nouns; sky, air, bird, fish, house, barn, etc., are masculine. A hill is masculine; a mountain, feminine. The ocean is masculine; the sea is feminine. Strange to say, the word for "a femle" is a masculine noun and the word for "a manservant" a feminine. But these two curious exceptions stand practically alone. In the construction of sentences Gaelic is very different from English. People who know enough about the language to make dangerous use of it will tell you. for instance, that In Gaelic you have to talk backward. Py this is meant that you do not begin by using the same word that you would begin with in English. In Gaelic the verb comes before the noun and the noun before the adjective. Thus, if you were going to say "A wise man

shuns evil companions" you would ar

range your words In this order: "Shuna

a man wise companions evil." This way of putting the verb at the very beginning of a sentence Is really better than having It follow the noun. Being the word of the sentence, it stands in its proper place. To the hlghlander English is the language that is spoken backward.

Banana Leaves. Banana leaves serve many useful purposes, for of them are made tough paper from the thinnest tissue to thickest ' cardboard, clothing, hats , and brushes, mats and hammocks. Millions of pounds of banana fiber, misnamed manila "hemp," are each year brought to the United States or taken to Europe and spun into cordage from the fineness of silk up through the size of twine to the bigness of mammoth cables, and many dainty handkerchiefs and bits of fine lace have been woven from the fibers of banana leaves by the deft finger of the women of South America and of the far east.

The Limerick Variety. Some yeara ago M. Paul Villars, London correspondent of the Journal dea Debats, went to Limerick on the occasion of a great Nationalist meeting. On arriving at the hotel he asked for a room in the front of the house. A servant took him to a small dark room looking on to an inner courtyard. M. Villars .went to the window and satisfied himself that there was a mistake. "This is not the front of the house," said he. "Oh, yes, sir," the servant said; "it's the back of the front.

He Probably Spoke. "I say, Mr. Johnston," said little Tommy, "are you fond of speaking?" "Not very. Tommy," replied Mr. Johnston, with a smile. "You don't speak much?" "Well, nnt a great deal." "I thought so," said little Tommy, "because I heard Sister Agnes say to mamma today that she had been waiting six months for you to speak.
