Scholl Optometrist a n d Jeweler MIXED METAPHOR. A Choice Bunch of “ Built” From the House of Commons. There Is uo place like the house of commons for a “ nice derangement of metaphors.” It will be a long time before we have a "mixture” equal to the outburst of an effusive orator who said, "The British lion, whether It Is roaming the deserts o f Indin or climb ing the forests o f Canada, will not draw In its horns or retire Into its shell.” It recalls the famous “ bull” made by Sir William Hart-Dyke, the Union ist ex-minister, who caused uproarious laughter in the house o f commons one day by remarking: “ The right honor able geutlemnn has caught big hsh in bis time. He has gone to the top of the tree to Und them.” Alluding to an item of £2,000,000 in the army estimates oue year, a certain member described It as "a Ilea bite in the ocean,” while another, advocating nil Increase In the European troops employed in India, remarked, “ You may depend upon It, sir, the pale face of the British soldier is the backbone of the Indian army.” An Irish member speaking of suicide said, "The only way to stop it is to make It n capital offense, punishable with death.” It was the same member who assured the house that "as long as Ireland was silent under her wrongs England was deaf to her cries,” while It was during a debate on the scamlal of packed juries during the Irish trou bles that a member iu support of the government exclaimed, “ By trial by Jury hnve 1 lived, and. by the blessing of God, with trial by jury I will die." There was a wild bowl o f delight, too, when some prosy member was careless enougfi to remark. "The time has come and is rapidly arriving.' which Is equal to the cry of the mem ber who wished a motion was “ at the bottom of the bottomless pit.” —Lon don Tit-Bits. WHAT WAR MEANS. W a n to n Des truction May Mark Progress o f an Arm y. the “ All Is fair in love and war,” runs the old saying, and Mr E. A. Vlretell.v In his volume o f reminiscences, “ My Days of Adventure." proves the truth of It. Referring to the appearance o f the rail way station at Nantes during the Franco-German war. he says: “ Never since have I sts-u anything re sembling It. A thousand panes of glass belonging to windows or roofing laid been shivered to atoms. Every mirror in either waiting or refreshment rooms had I»een pounded to pieces, every gilt frame broken into little hits The clock lay alMiut In small fragments; account books and printed forms had l>een torn to scraps: partitions, chairs, tables, benches, boxes, nests o f drawers, had been hacked, split, brokeu, reduced to mere strips of wood; the large stoves were overturned and broken, and the marble refreshment counter, some thlr ty feet long and previously one of the features o f the station, now strewed the door in part Idee, suggesting gravel It was indeed an amazing sight, the more amazing as no such work o f de structlon conhkhave lieen accomplished without extreme Intxir. “ When we returned to the inn for dinner I asked some questions. “ ‘Who did it r “ ‘The first German troops that came here.' was the answer. “ 'Why did they do It? Was it be cause your men had cut- the telegraph wires and destroyed some o f the per manent way?" “ 'Oh. no! They expected to find something to drink In the refreshment room, and when they discovered that everything had been taken away they set about breaking the fixtures.’ ” Steam Power.
