South and the Slestu.
Southern women still indulge
in a lengthy afternoon siesta, a
custom they greatly miss while
visiting in the north, says a nor-
th'vn journal. The nap still
flourishes, winter and summer, in
most of the region south of Ma-
son and DixonVt line. Its special
home is the southern country
house and village, but the custom
prevails even in considerable cit-
ies. A southern village between
2 o'clock and 5 In the summer
and 2 o'clock and 4 in the winter
Isprik in a general swoon. Even
£]tVks in the village stores
find a snug corner where, tilted
back in an easy chair, they may
doze away the intervals between
customers. An to the houses of
well-to-do, they are silent,
wtyh closed shutters and drawn
curtains, and somewhere above
stairs to neglige the women doze
away the fatigues of the morning.
Late afternoon finds faint signs
of returning consciousness in the
homes.
All persons are hereby noti-
fied not to liunt or listi in any

Lord Brassoy and the Swagman.
The governor of Victoria's par
ty had a terrible shock during
their visit to the Watts- River
They were camped on the aquo
duct, when a picturesque swag
man came down the track. In
good fellowship, Lord Braesey
asked him to have a glass of wine
and some chicken. "No, thanks,'
said the nomad. ?I ruined my di
gestion with that sort of thing
long ago—just some bread,and
butter and a glass of water. Lucli
to your excellency!" he said as he
drank the water. "So long!" ant1
he went his way. Ills excellency's
nerves were a bit unstrung for the
rest of that afternoon. A swag-
nmn who preferred bread and wa-
ter to chicken and champagne had
been a bit too sudden for him.--

among the Western Islands of
Scotland, all the Inhabitants,
without exception, were Roman
(Catholics, and he, one of those
redhot Protestants who had ritu-

put down the scarlet woman. En-
tering' the place of worship one
Sunday when mass was being
celebrated, he drove out all the
worshippers, locked the door and
put the key in his pocket. Then,
with his goldhended cane in hand,
he threatened to brain all those
who dared to return to mass.

Hick's Pointed Story.
It was in 1847 that Hicks, the
cornish wit, Hist made a county
name as a witty raconteur- In
that year Sir Samuel Spry, who
had been membor for Bodmin
since the great reform bill, lost
his seat, and in a petulant mood
took legal proceedings against
Hicks on the ground that he had
abused his official position to in-
fluence voters at the polls, says
the Oornhlll. In the course of the
trial Hicks was called upon to
state what he had to say in his de-
fense. In tho course of his state-
ment ho asked leave of the court
to illustrate his position by a
story. His request being assented
to, he related how a few days pre-
viously he had been to see a lad
whom he knew well, who was laid
up from a fall from a vicious don-
key, which had kicked out all his
front teeth.
The lad, said Hicks' had taken
the matter in the most ldndly way
and had said to him: "Tlsn't the
fall, Mr. Hicka, and 'tisn't the
rally of the teeth what, annoys
me; but 'tis the naslity, gashly
wishous disposition of the jack-
ass."
Sir Samuel Spry sprang up In
the.well of the court In a fury,
and exclaimed: "He has called
me a jackass!" The court was
convulsed with laughter, and
Hicks was promptly and fully ac-
quitted of tho trumpery charge
