that men have been cempened to ad

the majority of occupations were
thought inappropriate for women; but
our Civn war came, and the hosts of
men went forth from North and Scuth;
and to conduct the business of our cit

men were demanded br the tens of 1

In the year 1T33 the Tnited States
went to war with Algiers. The dif
ferences were finally settled by the
United States agreeing to pay $SOO,000
for the Uberation cf American sea
men who had been imprisoned, and
523,000 for the promise of Algiers to
leave merchantmen alone. In 1S01
war broke cat between TripoU anJ
the United States. In 1S04, this last!

the worst feature cf his nefarious

Besides the Chetties there are others,

That a stout buggy whip, four feet
and a half long, could remain in a
horse's stomach over two years, and
the horse survive, seems impossible,
but just this thing happened to a val
uable anfTTi owned by AHen D. Eakle,
near Carboudale, UL, which died a few
days ago. A veterinarian held a post
mortem exa nation as to what caus
ed the horse's death, and a whip was
found protruding from the stomach.
Mr. Eakle, in October, ISSo, used a six
foot buggy whip to punch an obstruc
tion down the horse's throat, putting
a horseshoe in the animal's mouth to
keep it open. The horseshoe fen cut,
and the horse bit off the whip, swal
lowing the long end with no bad ef
fects untn a short time ago. when the
I beast sickened and died. After swal
lowing the whip the horse werked ev

not possible for a conveyance to get

organisation is dead, says the Montreal
Star. The Montreal Parliamentary
Debating Society is not dead, -he
claims, but sleeping for a time. A
state cf similar inactivity came over
it some four or five years ago, when
its sessions were suspended for a cou
ple of years. This, however, did not
prevent its springing forth with re
newed usefulness when the demand for
its opportunities was felt. Unlike
most debating societies the mock, par
liament has had a singularly wen-continued
existence for nearly fourteen
years. Of late, however, there has

more than twenty supporters gathered
recently and it was an open question
fer some time whether the society
should not go on with its good works.
Probably the real danger was the
confessed izabfflty of the speak
er, the energetic secretary and
the leader cf the government
party to give the society as much
cf their time and attention as here
tofore. The question of continuing,
however, was wen discussed and It
may be safely assumed that at no dis

again be found training young citi
zens in the knowledge and power cf

Lortl or 3IUrule.
During the reign of Henry VTEI, and
cccasIonaUy since, a "Lord of Misrule
was appointed to direct the amuse
ments of the English court during the
hoUdays. He presided over the fes
tivities, prepared the games, directed
the sports "t; saw that the court was
kept properly amused during Christ
mas week. The ofiice was considered
highly honorable, and the "Lcrd cf
Misrule" was generaUy some wealthy
ncbleman. who was wffling to spend
money lavishly in promoting the games
of the court. It is of record that dur
ing the reign cf Elizabeth, Essex, as
"Lcrd cf Misrule," spent in one Christ
mas season 3,000 cf his own money
