Only Six on the Whole Island—Runners on Most of the Conveyances. Our consul at Madeira reports that 191) years ago there was not a single wheel on the island of Madeira, vvhile now six vehicles boast of wheels. Then, how do the people travel? On sleds drawn by oxen, the roads and streets being over two hundred years old and worn smooth as ice. Where the coun- ' try is hilly travel is on horses and in hammocks. “Our sleds,” writes the Consul, “or cars, as they are called, are carriages on runners, instead of wheels. Some of the private cars are beautifully upholstered. The bodies are made of hard wood, carved and finely finished. The bollocks are large, well groomed, and can be safely used up or down hill at almost any angle. Every driver carries a rag or coarse towel well sat- urated with grease. This from time to time he puts down in front for the runners to pass over. In summer dur- ing the dry season, the grease and fric- tion make the pavements almost 'as smooth as glass, and this compels the buying of Madeira-made boots. The soles of these boots are spongy and cling to the pavement.” It is said that roads outside of Funchal are so crook- ed and the 'hills are so steep that there never has been and probably never will be any demand for bicycles, or, in fact, for any wheeled vehicle. guomrovtmo A Pleasure at Last we -/ \l / . \ No Muss.

I ' Punishment In the. British Navy. Two contrasted cases gt punishment in the British navy have lately caused. a good deal of comment in the right little, tight little island. In the first case a boy on the Im- pregnable’ struck hiscommanding of- ficer when the latter was assigning him a. punishment for some offense. The penalty for this second; offense was threefold: First, twenty-four cuts with the birch before the ship’s com- pany, then three mouths’ imprison- ment with hard labor, followed by dis- missal from the service The assault could-hardly have been more than technical. ' In the other case a. lieutenant came back to his ship, and in an “explicable outburst of violence"——he was pre- sumably drunk—made a. murderous as- sult on a subordinate officer, kicking him about the head and face and heat- ing him with a. stick. The assaulting ofiicer pleaded guilty before court- martial, and was reprimanded and dis- missed from the ship, but not from the service. Four months later, after What was practically a. vacation of that duration, he was gazetted for a better place than he had before, over the heads of deserving officers. In the British navy, as elsewhere. the notion seems to prevail that a coarse and abusive brute must neces- sarily be a “good disciplinarian” and a. “fine executive.” I Got Out of Bed to Vote. Judah P. Benjamin was the first Jew elected to a seat in the American Sen~ ate, and the contest was a notable one. Col. Wt L. Knox was a member of the Louisiana Legislature, and when the Senatorial fight began he was lying at the point of death at a hotel in Bat- on Rouge. There was a tie vote in the Legislature. 001. Knox was a great admirer of Benjamin and he deter- mined to break the tie, and send Ben- j'amin to the Senate, even at the cost of his own life. He was placed on a. cot, carried to the House of Represen- tatives and when his name was called he voted for Judah P. Benjamin for United States Senator. Amid great excitement and the wildest sort of ap- plause Benjamin was declared elected, and, more dead than alive, Knox was carried to his hotel. He rallied in a few days, and in the course 0f time recovered his health—Dallas News. In Germany, when 'the’vote of the jury stands six against six, a prisoner is RCQLIIIQO.

As the bonds of friendship are strengthened by a heavy afliiction so does a prolonged sojourn in foreign places, amid strange scenes, turn the most common of every—day sights at home into luxuries. A magazine tells a. story of Henry M. Stanley, who, af- ter his return from Africa, was busily engaged» in writing his story of the “Dark Continent.” He used to, spread his reference maps upon the floor of his room, and on ‘this particular day, after search- ing in his near neighborhood for a chart which he much needed, he spoke to his assistant, who presently de- scried it near the fireside, with Stan- ley’s favorite cat upon it asleep. He started to turn the intruder off, when the great man interrupted him, saying,——- , “Never mind; don’t disturb the cat. I’ll get along without the chart until the cat wakes up. If you only knew how good the sight of that domestic cat curled up in front of that bright English fire is to me, you would never chase her away.” The cat slumbered on, and not until she arose with a lazy yawn, scratching Iher front nails on the rug as she stretched, did the famous explorer reach for his map.
