PLAYED A SHELL GAr.E.
A parliamentary Joke by a New South
Walss Solon.
Australia once bad a great public
Joke, which was played openly In the
New Pouth Wales state parliament by
a member who' afterward became at
torney general.
. A bill had been Introduced to pro
tect native flowers from ruthless de
struction. The honorable member up
rose and sympathized. He informed
the Introducer of the bill a somewhat
pompous gentleman that be heartily
approved..- But why. these Invidious
distinctions? The bill protected and
he quoted all the botanical names In
the MIL , ,
But why were other flowers equally
deserving neglected?' Why were and
here he reeled off a long list of the
Latin names for cockles, mussels, oys
ters, etcwhy were these sweet flow
ers to be blighted In their bloom by
being plucked by any prowling excur
sionist who wanted something In hi
buttonhole?'
: The Introducer of the bill promptly
offered to extend the list to Include
these. So half the shellfish on the
coast. Including the periwinkle, were
added to the flowers worthy of protec
tion, . .
The officials of the bouse discovered
the hoax next day and set It right
But the Joke was too good to be kept
quiet, and all Australia chuckled at
the expense of the pompous legislator.
London Answers.
ployed by the city to do this work,
were adopted, the councllmen were
not familiar with eewer pipes and be
lieved that when an expert engineer
said that the lengths should be 30
inches, that was the standard size. It
has since become known that Kelsey
was no doubt looking after the inter
est of "made In Utah" goods for his
home town had at that time the only
plant of any consequence In a half
dozen states west of the Mississippi
river that produced this odd length.
He "slipped" that same Joker into the
Hillsboro specifications, it is said.
Arguments Against Changing
One of the chief reasons why the
change was not voted : was because
the council emphasized to Mr. Childs
that the 30 inch pipe-would be used,
the Intricate points Involved being
unknown to the council at "that time.
Those of the council last night favor
ing the change pointed out that the
changewhich can be made at any
time, as provided In the specifications
themselves that Contractor ' Child's
bid was high on excavation and low
on pipe. As the pipe only Is effected,
the ' supporters' of the change could
see no plausible reason why It would
affect the Childs bid in any way. How
ever the change was toted down after
two. or three roll calls.
Riot Act Ifrad
Councilman Logsdon read the riot
act to Contractor Sutherland during
the discussion of another question.
Mr. Logsdon claims to have found
some defective pipe In a pile of 24-
Inch pipe stored In North La Grande,
and with considerable eloquence warn
ed Mr. Sutherland not to use that
pipe. He 'was ruled out of order be
cause Mr. Sutherland has not at
tempted to lay any of the pipe and the
city Inspector has not been asked to
pass on Its merits.
DON'T MIND BIG NOISES.
But Slight, Rustling Sounds Make Cl-
Among the curious characteristics of
the giraffe is its strange indifference
to loud noises as contrasted with its
peculiar "scariness" with reference to
Blight sounds.. Noisy sounds, like that
of a man walking near In hobnailed
boots, the giraffe does not appear to
notice, but should It be approached by
a woman whose skirts give out but
the slightest rustle the sound thereof
causes the giraffe to start up with I
pricked ears and eyes distended in I
fear.
Officials of n zoological institution,
situated near a canal, tell of a curious
Instance of this peculiarity of giraffes.
After a terrible explosion of gunpow
der on a barge on the cannl the keep
ers were astonished to observe that
the giraffes took little notice of the
tremendous blast ' They Jumped to
their feet but almost at once lay
down again when they found that
nothing extraordinary had happened
in their lnclosure. But were a keeper
at night to' creep along outside that
lnclosure in his stocking feet tbe queer
beasts would exhibit such terror that
one would imagine them about to dash
themselves in terror against the fences.
Giraffes fear tbe lurking foe, and a
big bang scares them hardly at aU. To
them tbe faint, rustling sound is a to
ken of the greatest danger. In that
respect they are like deer. New York

Many. Things Different In Holland.
Holland Is to me one of the most In
teresting countries in Europe, writes
George R. Sims. Apart from the ex
citement of having to do a bit of
Blondin, with the edge of a canal for
your tight rope, at Intervals of a few
minutes all day long, the Dutch them
selves furnish you never ending Btudy.
I love to see the little Dutch boy of
six smoking his clay pipe or bis cigar
as he clings to his mamma's skirt
There is something at once novel and
startling in finding Dutch cheese and
a penny bun placed in front of every
guest at the breakfast table. In a
land where a public company is a
MaatschappiJ and nearly every house
of restauration announces that the
thirsty traveler can there obtain "Tap
per!). SJitterlj and Slemp." there is al
ways something to amuse you.
