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

“ 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

frame broken into little hits The clock

books and printed forms had l>een torn

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.’ ”

twenty-one days.
The great dance circle Is prepared,

male and female, perform the most
savage of evolutions and motions to
the accompaniment of rhythmics*

dance that, as daughters or a great
people, they are possessed of all the
qualities such women should have.
The men execute pantomimic scenes of
the hunt and go through all the mo

hear, slay the walrus and seal and
finally, with extraordinary contortions,
vanquish the mighty whale.
