DEFTNim A NEWSPAPER.
It Ono* Put the English Qovsrnmsnt In
• Ludlorous Position,
For legal purposes u newspaper
is described ns a sheet of paper,
printed at short, regular intervals,
jor conveying intelligence of passing
events. When the Crimean war
broke out, however, newspapers in
England were a luxury for the well
to uo. The stamp duty on newspa
pers was still in force. It had risen
from a halfpenny, imposed in 1712,
to fourpenee a hundred years later,
bringing up the price of newspapers
to sevenpenee each—a condition of
things which lasted till 183G, when
the duty was reduced from four
pence to a penny, to be finally abol
ished in 1855, as a result of the his
toric campaign.
It happened in this wise. During
the Crimean war poor people in this
couutry were naturally anxious to
know how their relatives were far
ing at the front, and the only means
by which they could gather such
news was through the newspapers,
which the majority of them could
not afford to buy. The consequence
was that the agitation which had
been going on for some time to re
peal the stamp duty was renewed
with great vigor in the house ol
commons. The government was
asked to state definitely what actu
ally constituted a newspaper, and
why news should be taxed.
At hrst the government was
somewhat nonplussed. Then the
solicitor for the board of inland
revenue suggested that if they could
not define exactly what a newspaper
was, they could at any rate say
what it was not. And thus it came
about that a statement was made
in the commons to the effect that
a “newspaper is not a publication
treating only of one subject.”
As at that time there was only
one subject in which the majority
of people were interested—namely,
the war—the consequence was that
directly this definition was officially
pronounced out came a host of un
stamped publications giving full de
tails from tile seat of war, but tak
ing good care to “treat of one sub
ject only.” There were Holt’s Army
and Navy Dispatch, Strange’s Army
and Navy Dispatch, the War Times,
the War Telegraph, the War Fly
Sheet, and so on—selling merrily
and contributing not one farthing
to the revenue.
The position was a somewhat
ridiculous one, for the government
by its definition of a newspaper
had really given permission for the
publication of various “newspapers,”
which were printed and sold at a
great profit, and actually protected
them against other papers which
were contributing largely to the
revenue, simply because the latter
contained other news besides that
concerning the war. And it was this
untenable position of the govern
ment which led to the abolition of
the stamp duty.— Pearson's Weekly.
Cromwell and Foolscap.
The triumph of Cromwell! What
is foolscap? Everybody the world
over recognizes that paper foolscap
size means a standard measurement
of thirteen inches by sixteen, yet
how few can give the reason why.
In England the paper mark was
originally a crown, and when the
commonwealth was set up Cromwell
was approached as to what mark
should be used in (lie future, lie,
with characteristic contempt for
crowns, replied, “A fool’s cap,” and
so it became and remained, for at
the restoration the matter was over
looked until too late to act upon the
ultimate discovery.—London Chron
icle.
A Migratory Town.
For throe months of the year the
town of Gnrtok in Tibet is situated
at the place where it is designated
on the map.' During the other nine
months it is not there at all, hut is
about forty miles farther south, at
a much lower altitude. Climatic
conditions are the cause of this mi
gratory habit. When the heat
grows too intense for*eomfort the
whble town packs up and, driving
the herds of yaks, sheep and goats,
moves up to the higher altitude, and
the traders from India at onee be
gin to drift in.—Argonaut.
Still Untaeted.
“What,” asked Mrs. Oldeastle as
site picked up a volume of limp
leather edition of “The Classics,”
“do you think of Thucydides?”
“I really don’t know,” replied Mrs.
Gottalotte, after she had straight
ened a corner of her $000 royal Per
sian rug; “we’ve never had any.
Josiah says they’re no good unless
you get them fresh, and our grocer
never seems to have any except the
ones in enns.”—Exchange.
Wanted the Reverse Side.
“It’s all very well for the minister
to preach from the text, ‘Remem
ber Lot’s wife,’” said an overwork
ed. discouraged matron; “but I wish
be could give us an encouraging aer
mon on the wife’s lot!”
AN UNEXPECTED GIFT.
How a Famous Arabian War Horsa
Cams to Change Owners.
Mr. Homer Davenport, when in
Aleppo, culled to pay his respects
to Akmet Haffez, the ruling prince i
of all the desert. He had always a I
great admiration for Arab horses j
and has told in his book, “My Quest J
of the Arab Ilorse,” how this call |
on the Iledouin prince led to his i
possessing one.
“Ameene, our interpreter, spoke j
and told him why our sudden call 1
was made. The dignified old gen- |
tleman then learned that we were '
the people who had been in Antioch j
three nights before.
“‘These, then/ he asked, ‘are i
the people, one of whom has an
irade from the sultan of Turkey, |
and letters from the one great sheik j
of all the Amcric tribes?’ j
“ ‘Yes/ he was told.
“The old man’s eyes filled with
tears as lie looked at me, and his j
slaves and secretaries grew more :
interested, when, turning toward j
Ameene, he said:
“ ‘Then you have called on me be- j
fore calling on the governor of Alep- ;
po and Syria. Vo such honor was i
;ver paid to a Bedouin before, and ,
if l should live to be a hundred J
ivears old mv smallest slave would ■
honor mo moro tor this visit.
“It was difficult to find exactly
the right thing to say through an
interpreter, hut this fine old Bedo
uin was equal to the occasion. Re
pressing his emotion, he said, with
a deprecating smile:
“‘But, after all, you have not
come here to see men. Better than
that, you have come to see horses,
and T should he selfish if I kept you
longer from seeing the greatest
mare of our country, the war mare
of the great llashem Bev.’
“As L advanced to take his hand
lie gracofuly waved me hack. All
this time the old sheik was talking
in an emotional voice to the inter
preter. 1 looked upon Ameene to
explain. I saw the interpreter’s
face grow full of astonishment, and,
turning to me, he said :
“ ‘He wants you to take his hand,
hut not unless you can accept the
great war mare as his present to
you, with the Bedouin hoy that now
holds her. Her name is to remain
the same— Waddudn. He hopes that
when you speak the name it will
hear living witness of his love to
you and that the gift and its accept
ance will he the forming of a friend
ship, and later of a Brotherhood,
that will never end.’
“1 was so much concerned at this
that I asked Ameene if I could ac
cept such a present. The interpreter
told me that in ordinary circum
stances I could not, hut under these
conditions I would insult Akmet if 1
did not comply with his wish. So I
ireeepfod the mare and the hand of
brotherhood, and I he old Bedouin
ruler seemed very happy.”
Lord Eldon's Tip.
An ingenious method of avoiding
(he tip was once practiced by Lord
Eldon. When young men at the
bar, he and Lord Stowell celebrated
a stroke of professional luck by
.dining at a tavern. When Stowell
drew out his purse to pay he drop
ped a guinea and after some search
was giving it up as lost. Eldon call
ed the waitress. “Betty,” said he,
“we have dropped two guineas; sec
if you can find them.” Betty went
down on her knees and quickly
found the coin. “You are a good
girl, Betty,” said Eldon. “When
you find the other guinea you can
keep it for yourself.” — London
Chronicle.
Very Much Settled.
An elderly woman, on being ex
amined before the magistrate of
Bungay as to her place of legal set
tlement, was asked what reasons she
had for supposing that tier deceased
husband's settlement was at St. An
drews.
The old lady looked earnestly at
the judge and said:
“lie was born there, he was mar
ried there, and they buried him
there; and if that isn’t settling him
there, I'd like to know what is!”—
London Telegraph. •
Dr. Parr’s'Sarcasm.
“Dr. Parr,” said a young student
to the celebrated linguist, “let's yon
and 1 write a book.” “Very well,”
replied the doctor. “Put in it all
that 1 know, and all that you don't
know and we’ll make a big one.”
Once to a voluble and vain young
|ian who said in his presence, “I
make it a point to believe nothing
I cannot understand,” Dr. Parr said,
“Then, young man, your creed will
be 1 he shortest of any man’s 1 know.”
8hs Was So Timid.
A military man laughed at a timid
little woman because she was alarm
ed at (lie noise of a cannon when a
salute was fired, lie subsequently
married that timid little woman,
and six months afterward he took
off his boots in the hall when he
came in late at night.
