A Lesson in Humor.

(CONCLUDED. )

‘‘He would,” said the Premier, ‘‘endeav- our to bear up against it till Mr. Ashmead Bartlett gave him his quietus ;” and at this masterpiece of entirely original humotr rears of mirth were heard. Mr. Ashmead-

Bartlett said that Cyprus gave command over the land routes of the future, which is as simple a matter of fact as if he said Gib- raltar commands the Straits. Mr. Glad- stone repeated the phrase, and his followers howled with delight. We have no doubt that they privately implored him not to repeat it again, for they really eheuld die of laughing. They laughed when he ssid that Mr. Warton had arrived with an armful of books, and they laughed when he said that Mr. Warton was reserving his store for one of the later orders of the day. Shrieks of hilarity greeted the statement that Mr. Ashmead-Bartlett doubtless had willions in his pocket to make a harbour at Cyprus—a harbour, be it remembered, which Admiral Sir G. P. Hern- by, who knows something more about the harbours and Cyprus than even Mr. Gladstone, says can be made for a couple of thousand pounds, More shrieks welcomed the quotation about the Spanish leet, and here there is no fault to find, for

there certainly is*humor there, though it is

hardly Mr. Gladstone’s We do not know that we have space enough to continue the dissection of this new kind of humor, the tnest flowers of which, save one, have been honestly given. That one must not be “‘T wish te leave these observa- tiors free course threughout the whole

! world, to circulate and distill themselves, if

they could or would, into the minds of civi- lized mankind, in order that the diges

tions of the various cultivated races might dispose of them in _ the proper manner.” Beyond this it is

evident that the foree of refined an: lambent humor can no further go. The appropriate consecution of the mataphors, the neat precision ef the phrase, the infinity of humorous suggestion conveyed, cer- tainly justify the eulogies bestowed on the latest Knglish humorist.

Now we have not the Jeast intention of

throwing any blame or ridicule upon Mr. | floated, Gladstone for this utterance of his. When a young man who has no particular gifts |

of eloquence, makes an inconvenient speech | 4 re 4 , Pp i Ireland, writes that it is not at all neces-

‘sary or inevitable that a person knowing

—and Mr. Ashmead-Bartlett’s speeches, with all their faults, are gencrally very in-

Pe Ways to Avoid Drowning.

It is a well known fact that any per- \Son of average structure and lung capa- icity will float securely in water if care is taken to keep the hands and arms sub- merged and the lungs full of air. Yet in most cases people who are not swim- mers immediately raise their hands above their heads and scream the moment they find themselves in decp water. The folly of such action can be impressively illustrated by means of a half empty bottle and coupl: of nails; and the ex periment should be repeated in every household until all the members—par- ticularly the women and children—real- ize that the only chance for safety in deep water lies iv keeping the hands under and the mouth shut.

Any short-necked, square shouldered bottle will answer, and the nails can be easily kept in place by a rubber band or a string. First ballast the bottle with sand, so that it will float with the nails pointing downward, then by turning the arms upward, the bottle will be either forced under water at once or will be tipped over go that the water will pour into the open mouth, and down it will go. ‘To children the experiment is a very impressive one and the moral of it is easily understood.

The vital value of this precaution was strikingly illustrated near Accomac C. H., Virginia, a few days ago. A niece of the Hon. John Neely, while bathing, was swept off into the ocean by a strong current, aud soon disappeared ia the high breakers. As she could not swim her companions gave her up for lost. Two young fishermen who were em- pleyed some distance away thought- fully set out with a small boat in search of her, and when a mile or more from shore, found her floating on the water. She had been driftiug nearly an hour aud was greatly exhausted but soon recovers ed. Unable to swim, she had pluckily thereby making her rescus

possible. | Dr. Henry MacCormee, of Belfast,

convenient speeches for the present Goy-! nothing of the art of swimming should be

ernment—an old man of authority and com- | mand of language has, in face of an ignor- | ant audience, no beiter game to play than! to take them good humoredly, and, if he can, to make fun of them. He is nearly sure Of suecess, because his audience does not know the truths of fact that underlie the awkward manner, and is quite pre- nated to langh when the signal is given. Mr. Gladstone’s jests are on a par with Sir Charies Dilke’s elaborate ignorance of the contents of the HKepublique Francuise—a reactionary paper, edited and inspired by perzons Whom Sir Charles holds in horror -—of the methods of communication between London and Meshed, of the antecedents of Herr Most, &c. They are polemical utter- ances, and quite fairly polemical. If mem- bers of the Brilish House of Commons choose to know nothing about very obvious and simple facts, they invite their leader to exploit their ignorance in the way most convenient to him. But what is to be said of the admiration whica holds up utterly commonplace exercitations in dialectic sar- casi as evidences of a precieus and delicate faculty of humour vouchsafed as a last and crowning gift to a great master of eloquence The concluding sentence of Mr. Gladstone’s speech is really worth quoting as an instance

hamor and all the rest of it:—‘** Let him learn this—-that if he really wants to make an impression on the worl.J; if he really wants to give aid to his friends and to inflict disaster on his adversaries, the ver} first lesson he must learo is to restrain his uni- versal and sweeping propositions* within bounds of fact and actual experience, to submit himself to be taught by the lessons of the world and the lessons of the day, and tv learn and know that moderation, reserve, consideration for those with whom you have to deal and the endeaver to bring your propositions into exact con- formity with the circumstances of the ease, are for him and for everybody else the very first condition of useful and durable suc- cess.” Admirable advice, truly — but humorous ? The speaker of the Miclothian counsels moderation, reserve,

todeal. Mr. Gladstone complains of uni-

versal and sweeping propositions. The | Minister who had humbly to apologise for

e impolicy and inaccuracy of his on- slaughts ona friendly Power talks about itis importence of bringing your propo-

cumstances of the case. There is cer- tainly humor here, but it is of the most unconscious. There is also certainly something else than humor—an exuberance

sitions into exact couformity with the cir-,

drowned if he depends simply and en- tiraly on the powers of self preservation with which vature has endowed him. The pith of the docter’s remarks is cou- tained in the following paragraph: ‘“* When one of the inferior animals takes the water, falls, or is thrown in, it in- stantly begins to walk as it does when cut of the water. But when a man who cannot ‘swim’ falls into the water he mekes a few spasmodic streggles, throws up his arms and drowns. The brute, on the other hand, treads water, remains on the surface, and is virtually insubmerge able. Inorder, then, to escape drown- ing, it is only necessary to do as the brute does, and that is to tread or walk the water. ‘The brute has no advantage in regard of his relative weight, in re- spect of the water, over mau; and yet the man perishes while the brute lives. Nevertheless, any man, avy woman, avy child, who can walk on the land may also walk in the water just as readily as the animal does, and that without any prior instructions or drilling whatever.

of the playful irony, the good natured ‘Throw a dog into the water, and he

treads or walks the water instantly, and

there is no imaginable reason why a

human being under like circumstances

should not do as the dog does. The

brute, indeed, walks in the water in-

stinctively, whereas man has to be told. - ee

Quite a lot of new slang has been opened up for the falltrade. This is nearly alto- gether family slang for the use of ladies, and if they wish to be abreast of the times they will take out their pencils and tablets and note down the specimens. ‘*Catouche” is a very new word, and means nice, sweet, pleasant. Coffee, for instance, may be catouche; so may John Henry, or Eliza Jane. When a girl is “ flick,” she is know. ing, when she is ‘‘ fency,” she is quite the reverse of knowing. If you wish to convey to your heart’s idol the idea that you adore her transcendent beauty, just tell her that she is ‘‘ oppressive.” ‘* A Johnny boy,’ is & new variety of the genus homo who knows how to dance like an angel— supposing that angels would so far forget themselves 2s to dance—who wear good clothes, and is an idiot in every respect. The feminine ‘equivalent of the ‘Johnny Boy” is gener- ally called ‘* Evangeline.” If you disap- prove of a place or a person, or a party, you may either refer to it as ‘‘ snide,”

and a loquacity which—but here were pla- giarizing. Only let it be said that if this is going to be the humor of the future, we sincerely trust that we shall have as few humorists as possible. Fortunately the past exists—and when Mr. Gladstone or

speech, the Librarian of the House of Commons will perhaps see that there are sufficient copies in the Library of the Anaiomy of an Equivalent, of the History of John Bull, and of the Anti-Jacobin, to counteract any bad effects which the style may produce on the younger members of the House. Perhaps, also, though this is less probable, a slight perception of what is and what not humor may dawn upon Mr. Gladstone’s admirers before long, aud they

**gummo,” or “‘topsy.” Excessive admir- lation wrecks itself upon expressions in such | glosses as ‘f palmy ” “* hariaonious,” ‘* guli- jtive.” ‘*Gufitive” seems to mean a great juaany things. It is a sort of non-committal word, which can be uzed to fill up a sen- fence or express a doubtful opinion. —<S¢. Louis Spectator.
