DEATH OF prsrINGuIsnED' EUROPEANS.

DEATH OF DISTINGUISHED EUROPEANS -
of the death of three distinguished persons:
Sir William Napier, the historian Of the Pen.
insular War. Mrs. Anna Jameson and the
Shah of Persia
Sir William served in the war of which he
has given to postcrty the most truthful MS
tory, and as officer in the famous Light Dvi-
sion he earned high reputation as brave
and skilfnl soldier. In an obituary notice Of
him. the London Times says:
Despite the remoteness which seems now 10
characterize the figures of the great Dukes
generation, Sir William Napier was not of
very advanced age. Though he entered the
army in the last century and fought his last
fight almost so years ago, he was only II
when he was overtaken by death. In his days
men began TO work early. The first of his
nine commissions found him lad of fourteen,
and he was but little over twenty when he
went 20 that great war which he afterwards
undertook to describe. His extraction is re-
maIkable enough to deserve some mention.
For one of his granhfathcrs was actually the
grandson Of Kirg Charles II. and the other
succeeded to the family title while Marlbo-
rough was conducting the campaign of Ram
lies. In the year 1906, a certain Fraucis
Scott became Lord Napier. BY first mar
riage he produced liiIc Of sons. from one of
whom descended the present Admiral. Sir
Charles Napier: by a second marriage, he had
son named George. This George. in the
year i7Sl, took to wife the Lady Sarah.
daughter of the second Duke of Richmond,
great granddaughter Of the Second Charles.
and previously the wife Of Sir Thomas Bun
bury. From that union there issued pro.
gcny Of heroes of whom W iliam was the
third
Mrs. Anna Jameson had been prominent in
the world Of letters and art for nearly thirty
five years; her first work, The Diary of an
Ennuycr.' was published in 1926, and since
then few years have elapsed in which she has
not written at least one other volume She
died of bronchitis, in the Esd year of her age.
Nasscr-ed DIM, Shah of Persia, was cut off
in the 3lst year Of his age. and the 18th of
his reign. Ii, was mild and temperate
monarch, and had little of the intolerance
which is usually Characteristic of Eastern
potcntutes This trait IN his character was
manifested in his continued Efforts to restrain
the turbulent fanaticiSm of his subjects. and
in the protection which he extended to mis-
sionarics, and Other strangers visiting the
county.

CATERpILLARs. With little watchfulness
and care in searching for caterpilars' eggs.
and destroying them before the worms hatch,
you thus save the trees from injury, or
greater amount of labor in killing the worms

they hatch, and when other work is pressing
A little practice will enable one to detect
them on the small branches of the cherry and
apple trees. The eggs are deposited endwise
in little bunch around the limb, and very

injury by the weather.
