A Fiery Speech. William O'Brien In his “Recollec tions” gives this picture of Timothy Mealy's llrst nppenrance In parliam ent: “A quarter of an hour after he took his seat ns member for W exford he started up to make bis maiden speech tiny of frame, sardonic of visage.

A singular dream is related In a well known British magazine. A woman suffering from anxiety caused by re duced circum stances dream ed th at she went to church. “The (icoplc began to go out one by one. I looked around anil inquired why they w ere leaving the church. They said: ‘To look for the magic bird in the churchyard.

The next morning I went into our back garden and there among the fallen lenves was the speckled thrush, which had ju st been killed by a cat. It was yet warm. I said, ‘H ere Is the magic bird, nnd the money I know will come by post.' The hope was justified, for £1 came in the morn ing nnd a check from a friend In the evening.” The Unexpected. A curious story is th at of the late Colonel H arry McCalmont of the B rit ish arm y, lie was a poor man when he went to 'the reading of I i I h uncle's will, hoping that perhaps the departed might have rem em bered him to the extent of an old watch. True enough, the lawyer read out the words, ‘‘To my nephew, H arry McCalmont, I lenve my w atch nnd chain.” The legatee was satisfied, and, leaning'back, lie drowsed, lulled by the monotonous tones of the law yer as lie rend through the long instrum ent. At tho close be arose to go. ‘‘I congratulate you,” said the solicitor. “I don’t know why you should,” said the other. “You arc residuary legatee,” rem arked the law yer. “You will have ¿4,000 nnnunlly for the first five years from this date, and afterw ard you will inherit some £7,000,000.” W e have just re ceived another shipment of SHOES and with this last shipment we now have a complete line to select from.

A Horological Curiosity. Japan possesses a remarkable time piece. It Is contaimsl In a fram e three feet wide nnd five feet long, represent ing a noonday landscape <>f groat beau ty. In the foreground plum and cher ry trees and ridi plants appear In full bloom. In the rear 1 h seen a hill, grad ual In nseent, from which apparently flows a cascade, adm irably Imitatisi In crystal. From ibis point a threadlike stream meanders, encircling rooks and islands In its windings, and finally los ing Itself in a faroff stretch of wood land. In a m iniature sky a golden sun turns on a sliver wire, striking the hours on silver gongs as It passes. Each hour is marked on the frame by a creeping tortoise, 'which serves the place of a hand. A bird of exquisite plumage warbles at tho close of each hour, and ns the song censes a mouse sallies forth from a neighlioiing grot to and, scampering over the hill to the garden, Is soon lost to view.
