cut his throat, he was grabbed by the
bear, and combat ensued which proved
to be fatal to both. When found, the

Wise OF speech and reasonable;
Whose that day goes thieying about
He shall be punished without doubt;
And if sickness that day betide
1t shall quickly from thee glide.
The family of Lambton, in England,
have had an uninterrupted possession of
the estate of their name from the twelfth
century-a very rare instance of con-
tinuity. The Earl of Durham is the
present head. The family was only
ennobled in 1928 in the person of the
well known GOvernor-General of Cana

bill fame. The first Earl was an ardent
reformer, and the present supports the
Liberals. His house, Lambton Castle, a
magnificent abode, has, through some
blunder, been so honeycombed by col
lieries, that it has to be supported by
enormous massive underground pillars
The Earl is one of the half-dozen great

wine of the country, which is called
"tangleleg," but it is stated his skin is
like parchment, his hair white as snow,
while his eyes have most lively express
sion.

the most part since the Crimean war,
and originally favored by the Cars
especial protection and encouragement,
exist in Bessarabia, and one of them,
Halbstadt, has been the scene of ter
rible tragedy, the outcome of unreasOn-

part of its Russian-born neighhors.
