How to Treat Bores.

The Chamber of Deputies of the little Duchy of Luxembourg has shown its capacity In dealing with bores. Especial annoyance was recently caused there by the interminable speeches of one of the two social democratic deputies, who make up a party all by themselves Ip the chamber. Directly Dr. Welter, the deputy In question, got up to make a speech, all the other deputies rushed out of the House helterskelter, If one may coih a phrase, and left him alone with the speaker. At first this did not greatly disconcert him, but when ho found that not only were his speeches thus boycotted in the House, but even the reporters ignored them, he resigned himself to save his breatli for future expenditure upon his porridge. 'Flint lie must lie n very bad bore Indeed seems to lie proved by the fact that he was never able to secure the attendance even of ills colleague.— London Sketch.
