g «® ’ LA e o s 3 vew Creat Career Marred , by Greed and Pride The earl of |Marlborough, Jobn Churchill, died-in| 1722. : “Faithful, though unfortunate” ruus the motio beneath the ducal shield of ‘Marlborough; but you could hardly apply either term to John Churchill, founder of the family fortunes.

¢+ Faithful? He /intrigued with Wil Jiam when James was on the throne. ‘He intrigued with James when Wildiam was on the throne. Unfortu:nate? He earned more rewards, prob‘ably, thuan ever fell to a-subject. “He .was covetous as h—ll,” says Swift, “and ambitious as the prince of it.” ‘Even Queen Anne had to turn aside .and laugh when he denied it. And ‘there seems little doubt that, among ‘his other fruits of office, he did re‘ceive £6,000 a year .for placing the army's bread contract in the right ‘hands. | P

- Nonée the less, no soldier of his age ccould stand against him. “He never ‘besieged a town which he did not ‘take, nor foughit a bhattle he did not ‘gain,” as Tenison once said in a serJIOn, | : o

Not without reason his name is rwritten in letters of gold—with only -one other, that of Milton—on the ‘walls of St. Paul's, his old school; where, as readers of Thackeray will .remember, he was -a schoolfellow of the lovable Henry Esmond.—From the ‘Continental Edition of the Lendon Daily Mail. | S o

‘Waltz Shown to Be , Akin to Wallowing Would you ever suspect-that there .was any relation belween waitzing in ra ballroom and wallowing in a mire? ;There is, however, for. waltz is dis] tinctly . relatel to the Anglo-Saxgn, word welter, | the basic meaning of which is to #oll. Waltz itself is Ger-'m:-‘m, where again the basic meaning is to roll. Inlan encyelopedia of 1882 ‘this was noted about the waltz: “Thove muanidcal turnings and gesticulations which have lately bhecome fashionable in this ~ountry (Englahd) under the appeliation of German vaults * (or - rhather, walzen).” Waltz ‘may have cone,. according to some autherities, froju the same Source as volte or \';xazi‘!. the turning in horse‘manship or fencing. This sense of the word is also found in volte-face, mean‘ing to face suddenly about.—Dance. Magazine. | - : e e o , ~ Harp of Ireland . - In the “Ggld Room” at Trinity college, Dublin, rests the “Harp of Ireland” that sounded “once through Tara’s halls,” The story is that “after Brian Boru was killed at the battle of Clontari, this harp was given to Pope Alexander IL It remained in the ‘Vatican- for noarly 560 vears, and was given, in 1521, to Henry VIII in recognition of his defense of the Seven Sacraments, Twenty vears later Henry VIIF gave the harp to the carl of Clanricarde, an{l it was handed down until it came into the possession of a Limerick | antiguary, Archeologists, ‘however, say the harp is not older than. the Fourteenth century.

Ocean Liner’s Cow

. Those traveling on ocean liners can‘not take the family cow along, but ‘science has evolved a substitute which 'has proved especially valuable for ,ships which ply between temperate regions and the tropics. It is an emul'sor, a machine which mixes powdered ‘milk, sweet butter and water, produe‘ing by lemulsion a product which in taste and nutritive properties is hard ‘to . distinguish from fresh '‘milk. So ‘thorough is the' job that when the ‘artificial milk is allowed te stand it fpmducels a heavy cream.—Capper’s ‘Farmer. ‘ ; :

Excellent Rule

“How do you manage to remember ‘BO many things, Sarah?”’ inquired the ‘mistréss of her housemaid. Then Sarab made reply with the infallible rule for memory training. » e “T'll tell ye, ma’am,” said she. ' *“Ali ‘my life I've never told a lie. And when ye don’t have to be taxin’ yer memory to be rememberin’ what ye -told this one or that one, or how ye explained this or that, ye don’t over.work it, and it'll last ye, good as.new, for ever.” —

Arabic Numerals

The numeral characters now used in our arithmetie are Arabic numerals. They were introduced into Spain about the close of the Tenth century by the Moors or Arabs, but were known to Hindus as early as the Sixth century, and might more - properly be called “Hindu numerals.” They were brought to England in the Fourteenth century, but not used generally unfil thelgm of printing wus introduced. Up to the Sixteenth century accounts continued to be kep! in the old- Roman numerals.

Matter of Accuracy of Greatest Import

I do not know that there -is anything, except it be humility, which is S 0 valuable as an incident of education as accuracy. And accuracy can be taught. Direct lies told to the world are as dust in the balance when weighed against the falsehoods of inaccuracy. These are the fatul things. And they-are all-pervading. I scarcely care what is taught to the young if it will but implant in them the habit of aceuracy. 5 g :

Now, look at the matter in this Jight. Take the speech of any man ' for any given day. For once that he cwilfully gives a wrong-color (with an eve 1o his own interests) to anything -which he states or narrates, he mistakes or misdescribes 20 times, on ac:¢ount of his inability to tell anything "-accuratvl,\'. : ; :

. Besides, there Is this important re‘sult from -a habit of accuracy, that it (produces truthfuliiess even on those ‘occasions where a man would -be tempted to be untruthful. He gradually gets torlove accuracy more even than his own interests; at last he has .4 pussion for accuraey.—Arthur Helps.

Kitchener in Retreat _ : From Official Cares Kitchener island is a real lotus is land of tropical beauty in the middle of the grcat River Nile, not far from the great cataract. - When Lord Kitchener lived near Assouan, he loved to leave the haunts of mer and steal quietly in a smail boat to this island, which he made his own. It was entirely u’ninh:\hited and Avas a perfeet wilderness when he ook it over, but he brought to it tropical Indian trees and planted there fig ‘and banaia -trees and made beautiful and picturesque palm groves with seats made from palm leaves. In the center of the island he built a small Kiosk for himself, apd resting there, away from the busy town, he <could see the stately white-sailed feluceas wending their way through the various isdets and could. hear the Nubian boatmen chanting as they sailed albng.. In the distance he could alse hear the peculiar droning of the wa‘ter wheels and the hum of innumerable insects.—Weekly Scotsman,

Surely Kitchen Treasure

A lady was many weeks without finding a cook. In despair she at last answered an advertisement in an Irish paper. She-had a reply and appointed an interview, defraying the wom an's fare over, : :

“Can you cook?” asked the lady. -~ *“Yes, marm,” wuas the reply. ' “Do yeu understand French cookine. as my husband likes dainty little dislies?” ' Why lor. yves. marm?” =aid the cook. “I nnderstand all furrin dishes.” “Really !” cried the lady, whose de: lizht knew no bounds. “What can you (,l‘“-‘,n . .

“Well, marm, 1 can cook French beans, Cerman sausages, Brussels sprouts, Jerusalem artichokes, Spanish onions, Dutch Cheese.”—London ADEwWers. = : :

All Potential Cowards

While 1 think that the three classes, cowards, fearless men and courageous men, embrace all males on this earth, including the insane, I do not hold the categories iron-bound. The coward in a corner may become brave and run amoX. The courageous man is essentinlly a coward at heart, and the fearless man may, in a bad enough situation, be either courageous or cowardly. Personally, I am a great physical coward, but get a quart of hooch in me and 'l fight a saloonful and have, to the best of hazy recollections, attempted - it.—G. D. Eaton in Plain Talk Magazine. .

Sand Pictures in Bottles

Forming pictures and designs of colored sands on the interiors of bottles is the interesting art hobby of a California man who got the idea from a natural group of “painted rocks.” The grains are carefully arranged with speclal instruments to achieve the effect and the bottles are packed full and sealed so that the sand will not become loose and spoil the pattern. Fiftysix shades, all of natural colors and of samples sent to the artist from different parts of the world, are employed in making the designs.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. ‘

Better Conduct

Better conduct should be the first ideal of every man and woman; ft is the most important aid in living. This i 3 true not because better conduct is recommended by religion, but because it is recommended by Nature. A man who behaves better in his feeding is rewarded; so is the man ‘who behaves better in associating with his fellows, in his business. in his family affairs. DBehave better is the one maxim that all should accept as the greatest in the world—E. W. Howe’s Monthly. - -

Valuable Hardwood

Birch is Canada’s most important ‘hardwood. Of the seven Canadian species, the yellow birch (Betula lutea) and the paper birch (Betula albu .or paprifern) are the best known. The ‘former is used for flooring, furniture, cabinet work, and vehicle stock, while the tough, resinous bark of the latter has supplied the aborigines for cen turies with the material for ‘covering their famoeus birch-hark canoes.

When Ignorance Is Sin - ~ Ignorance is no sin, but to remain In ignorance and not to strive ! for the acquisition of knowledge Is sin. The most important and most vital lessons. of life may be learned without a college education, says True Experiences Magazine. - Love and kindness and unselfishness and gentleness need not be learned In collf}ges. They are within reach of all who desire to attain them. Men and women of enercy | and character should not be disrnayed by their lack of educution. Fhey can educate themselves. The , hardy and rugeed facts and .truths af life should be the objects of their pursuit. -
