+ <p><i>Wednesday.</i>&mdash;WAGNER. Vainly the Daughters of the
+ River, representing the floating capital of the Banks of the
+ Rhine, cry "Woa! Woa!" The orchestra, under the direction of
+ Herr MAHLER, takes no notice of them, but goes on Wagnerianly,
+ inexorably. Thus swimmingly we reach Walhall&mdash;where the
+ fire-god <i>Loge</i> has a <i>logement</i> with very heavy
+ insurance. <i>Wotan</i> and <i>Loge</i> in search of the gold.
+ Then we meet the <i>Nibelungs</i> and the <i>Nibelights</i>,
+ all livers under a water-cure system; and then&mdash;it's like
+ a musical nightmare&mdash;<i>Alberich</i> changes himself into
+ a toad and is towed off as a prisoner. <i>Fafner</i> settles
+ <i>Fasolt</i> by a drum-head Court Martial, so that
+ <i>Fafner</i> gets the golden honey, and <i>Fasolt</i> gets the
+ whacks&mdash;and&mdash;please, Sir, I don't know any
+ more&mdash;but some of the music is running river-like and
+ lovely, more is puzzling, and much of it must remind Sir
+ DRURIOLANUS of the rum-tum-tiddy-iddy-iddy-um-bang-whack of a
+ great Drury Pantomime. House full; Duke and Duchess of
+ EDINBURGH, with Princess MARIE and Crown Prince of ROUMANIA,

+
+ <p>Dear <i>Mr. Punch</i>,&mdash;When writing to a Journal of
+ light and leaders&mdash;or misleaders&mdash;last Friday, I kept
+ "a little bit up my sleeve," so to speak, for the Brightest,
+ Lightest, and Leadingest of all papers yclept the one, Sir,
+ that bears your honoured name. After quoting from Mr.
+ CHAMBERLAIN at Holloway (not <i>in</i> Holloway) on June 17,
+ 1885, as a gentle reminder to Mr. GOSCHEN&mdash;<i>their</i>
+ "Mr. G."&mdash;I observed, "Perhaps, however, there are reasons
+ why the 'Egyptian Skeleton' prefers to forget the speeches of
+ Mr. CHAMBERLAIN in 1885." It struck me that, having already an
+ Egyptian Skeleton, we might have as its companion a Brummagem
+ Skeleton, which everyone can see through, and this sketch I beg
+ to submit to you, <i>pro bono publico</i>. Always, <i>Mr.
+ Punch</i>, your most obedient "subject" (artistically),</p>

+ <p>Were it not that the salutation were infelicitous, we should
+ have said, "Hail, all hail!" to the <i>Fête</i> at the
+ Botanical Gardens, Regent's Park, last Wednesday. Besides, they
+ have always an Aquarius of the name of WATERER on the premises,
+ whose Rhododendrons are magnificent. So we didn't say "All
+ hail!" and there was not a single drop, of rain, or in the
+ attendance, to damage a charming show which has so often been
+ spoilt by the drop too much that has floored many a <i>Fête</i>
+ of Flora. Nothing could have been prettier. Flowers of speech
+ are inadequate to describe the scene. "Simply lovely!" is the
+ best epitome of praise.</p>

+ <h2>LADY GAY'S SELECTIONS.</h2>
+
+ <p class="author"><i>The Look-out, Sheepsdoor, Kent</i>.</p>
+
+ <p>DEAR MR. PUNCH,</p>
+
+ <p>Ascot has been too much for me! What with the excitement of
+ racing all day, and bézique half the night&mdash;(another sign
+ of the times; women no longer "play for love," but "love to
+ play!")&mdash;to say nothing of the constant strain on one's
+ nerves as to what the weather was going to do to one's gowns, I
+ have had a severe attack of overwork, with complicating
+ symptoms of my old enemy, idleness!&mdash;so that, on my return
+ to town, my Doctor&mdash;(he's a <i>dear</i> man, and
+ prescribes just what I suggest)&mdash;insisted that I should at
+ once run down to the Seaside to recuperate. Hence my retirement
+ to the little fishing village of Sheepsdoor in Kent, "far from
+ the gadding crowd;" a most delightfully rural and little-known
+ resort, where we all go about in brown
+ canvas-shoes&mdash;(russia-leather undreamt of!)&mdash;and wear
+ out all our old things, utterly regardless of whether we look
+ "<i>en suite</i>" or not. The only precaution <i>I</i> take is
+ to carry in my pocket a thick veil, which I pop on if I see
+ anybody with evidences of "style" about them coming my way;
+ fortunately, this has only happened once, when I met a certain
+ well-known "Merry Duchess" and her charming little daughter,
+ who both failed to penetrate my disguise!</p>
+
+ <p>I am sorry that my selected horse for the Windsor June
+ Handicap did not run&mdash;though the word of command was
+ given, "<i>Macready</i>!"&mdash;he was not told to be
+ "present!"&mdash;being presumably short of a gallop or two, and
+ therefore lacking "fire!" This little series of jokes is
+ proudly dedicated to the <i>Military</i>, and <i>Civilians</i>
+ are "warned off!"&mdash;which is another turf expression. The
+ much-needed rain has come at last, and the Heath should be in
+ fine condition, which was more than its namesake at Ascot was,
+ and all for want of a little attention&mdash;I am told that the
+ far end was all in lumps, which caused the "<i>Lover</i>" to
+ come down in his race&mdash;though that was hardly a surprise,
+ as we know that "the course of true love never <i>did</i> run
+ smooth!"</p>
+
+ <p>Now&mdash;dear <i>Mr. Punch</i>, if you want a few hours'
+ fresh air, command the special train, which I am told, is kept
+ in readiness for you at every London Terminus, to transport
+ you&mdash;(not for your <i>country's</i> good, but <i>your
+ own</i>)&mdash;to Sheepsdoor, Kent, where you shall receive a
+ hearty welcome&mdash;Lord ARTHUR is not with me, but my French
+ maid will <i>chaperon</i> us&mdash;<i>if necessary</i>.</p>
+
+ <p class="author">Yours devotedly,<br />
+ LADY GAY.</p>

+ <p>"Cave Kanem!"&mdash;"If," Dr. KANE is reported to have said
+ at the Ulster Appeal Meeting in St. James's Hall, last
+ Wednesday, "If they (the Ulster Irishmen) had to choose between
+ arbitrary oppression and an appeal for justice to the God of
+ battles, he (Dr. KANE) had no more doubt than he had about his
+ existence, that that appeal would be made, and that God would
+ defend the right." With the saving clause adroitly introduced
+ into the last sentence, everyone, except an Atheist, will
+ agree; and, but for this, this speech reads as an incentive to
+ Civil War, intended to stir up brother against brother to fight
+ to the death. Such sentiments may, in the future, be remembered
+ as marked with "the brand of KANE."</p>
+ <hr />
+
+ <p>A Difficulty.&mdash;<i>Mr. Dick</i> was unable to keep,
+ "King Charles the First's head" out of his literary work. So
+ Our OSCAR, it is said, has been unable to keep the head of St.
+ John the Baptist out of his play, <i>Salomé</i>, accepted by
+ SARAH. Hence difficulty with licenser. The real truth, we
+ believe, is that the head, according to received tradition,
+ should be brought in by <i>Salomé</i> "on a charger," and SARAH
+ protests against this, as she is not an equestrian.</p>
+ <hr />
+
+ <p>A New Songstress.&mdash;Mr. CUSINS, on Wednesday last,
+ accompanying SCHUMANN, RUBINSTEIN, &amp; Co., may fairly be
+ described as "CUSINS German." A very successful Concert,
+ musically notable, among many notable things, for the
+ <i>début</i> of Miss GWLADYS WOOD, who, being vociferously
+ encored, gave a Tyrolean Volkslied, or "VOKES' Family" dance
+ and song, playing the accompaniment herself. "She ought to do
+ well."&mdash;I quote SHAKESPEARE, WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, the
+ Musician, who sang a <i>duo</i> with Mme. VALDA. The Concert
+ commenced with a "Septette (By DESIRE)." This is a new
+ Composer.</p>

+ REED is immensely funny, especially when disguised as a Charity

+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p>SCENE&mdash;<i>An Arena at North End of Crystal
+ Palace.&mdash;The Arena is thickly covered with sawdust,
+ and occupied solely by a light American waggon. There is a
+ small steam-engine at one side, with an escape-pipe and
+ valve projecting into the Circus, and a bundle of
+ parti-coloured stuff is fluttering overhead opposite. From
+ loose-boxes, three or four horses are examining these
+ ominous preparations with apprehensive eyes. Enter a Portly
+ Gentleman in a tall hat and frock-coat, who bows to the
+ audience, and is but faintly applauded, owing to a
+ disappointed sense that the ideal Horse-trainer would not
+ tame in a tall hat. However, he merely appears to
+ introduce</i> Professor NORTON B. SMITH, <i>who, turning
+ out to be a slender, tall man, in a slouch hat, black
+ velveteen coat, breeches, and riding boots, is received
+ with enthusiasm.</i></p>

+ accept this suggestion, emphasises it by pulling the double
+ rope, which, being attached to the animals forelegs,

+ mean your horse To stop. Woa! (<i>horse down again,

+ quiet, say "Steady!" and teach him The difference Of the
+ words. Never afterwards Deceiving him. (Paterf. <i>makes a
+ note of this on Tartar's account.</i>) Steady ... Woa!
+ (<i>Same business repeated; horse evidently feeling that he

+ hint.</i>)</p>
+
+ <p><i>Paterf.</i> Wonder where I could get that

+
+ <p><i>His Daughter</i>. But you would have to lay down such

+
+ <p><i>Paterf.</i> Um! No. Never thought of that.</p>
+
+ <p><i>Prof.</i> I will now introduce To his notice the Bass
+ Drum. (<i>The two Grooms dance about the horse, banging a
+ drum and clashing cymbals, at which he shies consumedly.
+ Gradually he appears to realise that his lines have fallen
+ among lunatics, and that his wisest policy is to humour
+ them. He does so, even to the extent of suffering the big
+ drum to be beaten on his head with patient
+ disgust.</i>)</p>
+
+ <p><i>The Daughter</i>. You might try <i>that</i> with
+ <i>Tartar</i>, Father. You could have the dinner-gong, you
+ know.</p>
+
+ <p><i>Paterf.</i> (<i>dubiously</i>). H'm, I'm not at all
+ sure that it would have the same effect, my dear.</p>
+
+ <p><i>Prof.</i> (<i>who has vaulted on the horse's

+ <p><i>Daughter.</i> It would be quite easy to do that,

+ <h2>ESSENCE OF PARLIAMENT.</h2>
+
+ <h3>EXTRACTED FROM THE DIARY OF TOBY, M.P.</h3>
+
+ <p><i>House of Commons, Monday, June 20</i>.&mdash;Black Rod
+ got up little joke to-night by way of relieving the weight of
+ these mournful parting moments. As soon as House met, word went
+ round that, in absence of Mr. G., and other Leaders of the
+ Opposition, SAGE OF QUEEN ANNE'S GATE intended to take Prince
+ ARTHUR in hand, and insist on his making clean breast of date
+ of Dissolution. A Royal Commission arranged in other House.
+ Black Rod despatched to summon Commons to assist at ceremony.
+ "The SAGE wants the House of Lords abolished, does he?" said
+ Black Rod, to his friend the White Elephant. "Very well; but
+ before it's done, I'll bet you 100 to 1, as JOHN MORLEY says,
+ that I, as representative of the Lords, will make him shut up,
+ and pretty sharp too. He little knows there's a Rod in pickle
+ for him, and a Black 'un, too."</p>
+
+ <p>Everything worked out as it was planned. On Motion for Third
+ Reading of Appropriation Bill, SAGE, in his most winning way,
+ invited Prince ARTHUR to name the happy day. Black Rod, getting
+ tip, hurried across Lobby; reached the door just as SAGE was in
+ middle of a sentence. "Black Rod!" roared Doorkeeper, at top of
+ his voice. SAGE paused, looked with troubled glance towards
+ door, stood for a moment as if he would resist the incursion,
+ and catching sight of sword by Black Rod's side, abruptly sat
+ down amid general titter.</p>

+ <p>Still winding-up business. GEORGE CURZON explained Indian
+ Budget to PLOWDEN, and Rev. SAM SMITH, who thought it very
+ good. So it was, comprehensive, lucid, here and there
+ brightened with felicitous touches of eloquence.</p>
+
+ <p>"Pity," said GRAND CROSS, when I mentioned to him the
+ depressing circumstances attendant upon delivery of speech;
+ "CURZON's a clever youth. When he's been with me a month or
+ two, he'll brighten up considerably. Great advantage for a
+ young man to have such guidance, coming into almost daily
+ contact with a person like his present Chief. The fact is,
+ TOBY, I am really responsible for the state of the House
+ to-night. The country, England and India alike, are so
+ satisfied with my rule over what I may, perhaps without
+ offence, call our dusky Empire, that people do not think it
+ worth while to go down to House to hear the affair discoursed
+ on by my Under-Secretary. Amongst the natives in India, I'm
+ told, I'm regarded as a sort of Fetish. Travellers in remote
+ regions bring home stories of finding, set up in humble
+ cottages, little images, more or less resembling me. GORST told
+ me they have a saying there, which he was good enough to
+ translate. His knowledge of Hindustanee is extensive, peculiar,
+ and acquired with remarkable rapidity. These are the lines:</p>

+
+ <p>A free translation, GORST says, but gives you the swing and
+ the spirit of the distich. Rather hard on CURZON that my
+ popularity should spoil his speech, but a good thing for the
+ country."</p>
+
+ <p><i>Business done</i>.&mdash;Budget brought in.</p>
+
+ <p><i>Tuesday</i>.&mdash;Wonderfully good muster in Lords
+ to-night. Every man upon his mettle. As the MARKISS says, with
+ that epigrammatic style that makes him so delightful, "The
+ first duty of a Peer is to appear." Those Radicals been
+ protesting that talk about necessity for prolonging Session

+
+ <p>Appeal to patriotic feelings nobly answered; nearly a
+ hundred Lords in place to-night. CHELMSFORD, walking down with
+ his umbrella, just about to add a unit to the number; stopped
+ on the threshold by strange sight; looking in from room beyond
+ the Throne, sees DENMAN standing at Table, shaking his fist at
+ Prime Minister. DENMAN is wearing what CHELMSFORD, who is
+ short-sighted, at first took to be red Cap of Liberty. But it's
+ nothing more dangerous than a red skull-cap, designed to resist
+ draughts. Needn't be red, but it is. Business before House,
+ Third Reading of Small Holdings Bill Occurs to DENMAN to move
+ its rejection; talks for ten minutes; difficulty to catch his
+ remarks; understood from fragmentary phrases to be extolling
+ someone as a luminous Statesman; seeing measure before the
+ House is Small Holdings Bill, noble Lords naturally conclude
+ he's talking about CHAPLIN. MARKISS interposes; says, "Noble
+ Lord not speaking to Bill before House."</p>
+
+ <p>It was at this moment CHELMSFORD arrived. Saw DENMAN draw
+ himself up to full height, shake his fist at the MARKISS, and
+ this time at full pitch of quivering voice cry, "Ha! ha! you
+ wish to <i>clôture</i> me again, do you? I'm very much obleeged
+ to you. I have a right to refer in a hereditary assembly to the

+ yet.</p>
+
+ <p><i>Business done</i>.&mdash;Still winding it up.</p>
+
+ <p><i>Tuesday, June 28</i>.&mdash;Parliament prorogued and
+ dissolved. "All over at last," says ROSCOE, putting it in
+ another and more original way. Few to part where (six years
+ ago) many met. Still some, chiefly Metropolitan Members, remain
+ to see the last of the old Parliament.</p>
+
+ <p>"Good-bye, TOBY," Prince ARTHUR says, after we've shaken
+ hands with the SPEAKER. "Shall see you again in August.
+ <i>You</i>'re all right. One of those happy fellows who are
+ returned unopposed. As for me, I have to fight for my seat, and
+ my life."</p>
+
+ <p>"You'll come back too," I said; "but you'll be sitting on
+ the other side of House. What'll you do when you're in
+ Opposition?"</p>
+
+ <p>"I'll go to the Opera every Wednesday night," said Prince

+ <p>TIP FROM OUR OWN BOOKING-OFFICE.&mdash;Persons about to go
+ to the Country, whether to defend their own seat or attack
+ someone else's, can't do better, my Baronite says, than take
+ with them P.W. CLAYDEN's <i>England Under Coalition</i>, just
+ published by FISHER UNWIN. It's not much to carry, but it's
+ worth the trouble of packing up; also of unpacking, and
+ reading. It tells the story of two Parliaments and three
+ Governments. A pretty story it is, more interesting than most

+ <h2>ELECTION NOTES.</h2>
+
+ <h4>(<i>By Mr. Punch's Special Commissioner.</i>)</h4>
+
+ <p>DEAR SIR,&mdash;I am glad you consented eventually to the
+ terms I proposed. After all, £100 a-week (<i>and expenses</i>)
+ is a mere trifle for the arduous work I expect to do for you.
+ According to your instructions, I arrived three nights ago in
+ the ancient borough of Bunkham-on-the-Marsh, and at once took
+ steps to pursue those inquiries which are necessary for a
+ satisfactory estimate of the political situation. My experience
+ as a lightning change <i>artiste</i> is quite invaluable. I
+ visit the Liberal Committee-rooms, and attend Liberal meetings
+ in a complete suit of corduroys and horny hands. Five minutes
+ afterwards I find myself in a military moustache, a frock coat,
+ and patent leather boots at the Conservative head-quarters. In
+ the former disguise I enthusiastically advocate the Newcastle
+ Programme, and denounce the base minions of Coercion. In the
+ latter I rouse Conservative partisans to frenzy by my
+ impassioned appeals on behalf of one Queen, one Flag, one
+ Empire, and a policy of enlightened Conservative progress. I
+ can highly recommend my two perorations, in one of which I
+ consign Mr. GLADSTONE to eternal infamy, while in the other I
+ hold up Lord SALISBURY to the derision of mankind.</p>
+
+ <p>I send you herewith extracts from the two newspapers
+ published in Bunkham. The <i>Bunkham News</i> is the organ of
+ the Liberals; the <i>Bunkham Standard</i> (with which are
+ incorporated the <i>Bunkham Messenger</i> and the <i>Bunkham
+ Guardian and Mangelhire Express</i>) expresses the views of the
+ Conservatives in this important district.</p>

+ valign="top">At last! The period of subterfuges and
+ evasions is past. Fraud and dishonesty have had
+ their day, Coercion has done its worst, and the
+ time has come when the most scandalous and
+ disgraceful Government of which history bears
+ record, will have to submit itself for judgment to
+ the opinions of those who are dishonoured by being
+ its fellow-countrymen. We can have no doubt
+ whatever as to what the result of the contest will
+ be in this enlightened constituency. The men of
+ Bunkham have been at all times noted for their love
+ of freedom and justice, and for their hatred of
+ those who base themselves upon oppression and
+ iniquity. The Liberal Candidate, Mr. HENRY PLEDGER,
+ has now been before the Constituency for more than
+ a year. Wherever he has gone he has been received
+ with unparalleled demonstrations of enthusiasm by
+ the immense majority of our fellow-townsmen. His
+ eloquence, combined with his engaging manners, have
+ won all hearts. The fight will be short, but
+ severe. Men of Bunkham, will you lag in the rear?
+ The issue is to those who work from now to the
+ polling day. If you only make a united effort,
+ triumph is assured.</td>
+
+ <td></td>
+
+ <td align="left"
+ valign="top">The date of the Dissolution has been
+ fixed, and by making it impossible for the
+ Elections to be held on a Saturday, the Government
+ have given one more proof of their deep and sincere
+ devotion to the highest interests of the
+ working-classes. There never has been any Ministry,
+ we make bold to say, whose record will better bear
+ the fierce light of public investigation.
+ Grievances have been redressed, moderate reforms,
+ such as the country desired, have been passed into
+ law, and turbulence and outrage have been
+ repressed. No body of men ever deserved more fully
+ what they now possess, and are sure to
+ retain&mdash;the confidence and gratitude of their
+ fellow-citizens. Our Member, Mr. TUFFAN, has borne
+ a not unimportant part in assisting the Government
+ by his presence in the House of Commons. His manly,
+ straightforward integrity, and his universal
+ generosity, have endeared him to all classes in
+ Bunkham. We look forward with absolute confidence
+ to his return by an immense majority. From the
+ disorganised ranks of our adversaries there is
+ little to fear. Let us stand shoulder to shoulder,
+ and leave no stone unturned to win a victory which
+ is even now within our grasp.</td>
+ </tr>
+ </table>
+
+ <p>I have had interviews with prominent politicians on both
+ sides, and have been assured on both sides, that victory is
+ certain. Both Candidates are constantly occupied in driving all
+ over the borough in pair-horse carriages, lavishly decorated
+ with the party colours, orange for the Liberals, blue for the
+ Conservatives. Mrs. PLEDGER is magnificent in an orange silk
+ dress; Mrs. TUFFAN overwhelms me with blue ribbons. Master
+ PLEDGER waves an orange banner in every street; Miss TUFFAN
+ distributes blue cards in all the shops. The Liberal
+ Committee-rooms are ablaze with pictures of Mr. GLADSTONE; the
+ Conservative Office flames with Union Jacks, and other Imperial
+ devices. Eight meetings are to be held in different parts of
+ the Constituency to-night. Immense efforts are being made to
+ capture the votes of the Association of Jam Dealers, which has
+ its chief factory here. Master PLEDGER has just gone by in a
+ Victoria, with a huge pot of "Bunkham Jam" on the seat in front
+ of him. He had a spoon, and was apparently enjoying himself.
+ This manoeuvre has much depressed the Conservatives, who
+ consider it disgraceful. More next week.</p>

+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to

+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+https://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
+paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+ the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+ you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is
+ owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+ has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+ Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments
+ must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+ prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+ returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+ sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+ address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+ the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+ you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+ does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+ License. You must require such a user to return or
+ destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+ and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+ Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+ money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+ electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+ of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+ distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark. Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+

+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact

+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+ Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+ Chief Executive and Director
+ gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
