"Likeness of English and Americans.
As respects character, the British and
American publics are strikingly at one.
The tone of popular sentiment is mnch
the same. The attitude toward questions of general human interest is often
identical. Political ideals are, at bottom, not so unlike as superficial observers fancy. Party spirit manifests itself
in very similar fashion. Both are sensitive, though in slightly varying degrees,
to the same appeals. The same national
spirit animates both, showing itself in
quite characteristic fashion when the
jealousy of one is aroused against the
other. Indeed it is in their mutual rivalries and jealousies that their spiritual
kinship is often most manifest. Their
diversity is superficial and provincial;
their unity fundamental and racial.
The American who can divest himself
of provincialism in England and the
Englishman who can lay aside his insularity in America each finds himself
at home.—Edward M. Chapman iu
Century.   "
Xessons For Schoolboys.
There is no question that our forefathers supposed that benefit might be
derived from causing schoolboys to be
spectators of the hanging of criminals.
Sir Walter Scott had borne testimony
to this custom being not unknown iu
Scotland. In "TheHeart of Midlothian"
Mr. Saddletree is represented as saying:
I promised to ask a half play day to the
schule, so that--the bairns might gang and see
the hanging, which canntv but have a pleasing
effect on their young minds, seeing there is no
knowing what they way come to themselves.
t-ChapterSS.
Sir Walter would not, we may as:,
snme, have written tlie above had he
Cot known that such things had actually-taken place.—Notes and Queries.
Natural "Resentment.
"Little boy," asked the sympathizing
lady, "why do you cry so?"
"Is there anything in the manner of
my expressing my grief, madam," responded the Boston boy, "that strikes
yon as being outre or inappropriate?
Bqp-hoo! Boo. hoo!"—Chicago Tribune.

LONDON OMNIBUSES.
Interesting Statistics of Transportation In
the English Capital.
Some interesting details have appeared in a report on the omnibus and tram
car service of London. The tramways,
which correspond to onr car lines, are
all of 4 feet 8j£ inches gauge except two
lines, which are only 3 feet 0 inches.
There are in the city 71 distinct routes,
of which 58 are in use. The -mileage of
the worked lines is given as 849. The
average speed of a London tram ia 5.48
miles per hour; that of a London omnibus is 5.5 miles per hour. The'average
tram fare is 67-100tbs of a penny (2
cents) per mile. The average omnibus
fare is-92-100ths of a penny per mile.
There are 879 cars on thelines, which
among them run 17,150'single, journeys
during their day's work, which lasts on
the average 16 hours and 44 minutes.
The omnibuses are more than twice as
many. There are 2,130 of them, and
these are run 35,000 single journeys in
the course of a day that averages 15
hours and 32 minutes. There are 12
London tram companies. In the course
of a year their cars run 22,787,000 miles
and carry 225,263,000 passengers. The
London omnibuses run 49,783,000 miles
a year and carry 326,000,000 passengers.
To work its tram cars London -requires 10,092 horses; to work its omnibuses it has 25,573. A summary of
these figures shows that there are 3,229
vehicles employed, worked hy 35,665
horses, traveling 72,500,000 miles and
carrying 551,345,000 passengers in a
year. It is calculated that each of the
800 omnibuses which pass the Mansion
House in an hour will travel 64 miles a
day, carrying 420 passengers as its day's
wort and earning 3s. 6d. during each of
its 15 journeys.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A Funny Misprint.
One of the most ludicrous announcements that ever appeared perhaps was
made by a London newspaper in the
earlier half of thepresent century to the
effect that Sir Robert Peel "and a party
of fiends were shooting peasants in Ireland. " The words misprinted, of course,
were "friends" and "pheasants."
The Stylus.
The Roman pen, or stylus, was au
iron implement, sharp at one end like
an awl and flat at the other like a paper
cutter. It- was used for writing on tablets of wood or ivory covered with was.
The sharp end was employed for writing
and the flat for erasing or correcting
what was written.
