Reading Without Thinking.

We quite understand the ambition of
men engaged in intellectual pursuits to
keep up with the worlds thought"
But it is this effort that fills all the pro-
LESSONS with crammed men, and leaves
them scant of thinkers. Baiing the
ocean with dipper is work for those
only who do not realize the shortness
Of time and the greatness of the task.
There is SO little ultimate truth in the
world; science is pulling up her stakes
and setting them forward so frequent
ly; religion herself is changing her
lines so much on everything save a few
great facts, that not half so much would
be lost as the average student now
pressed and puzzled on all sides would
think if he should intermit his battling
pursuit of knowledge for a few years.
and go to using what wisdom he has,
The daily press will keep man from
getting rusty. A few of our classics =
including first the chief classic of all,
the Bible-will give him food and slim
ulant enough; and nature and his own
heart will give hin. the best themes and
thoughts Golden Ra4le.

urnAme' Of the English Royal Family.

At dinner, the other night, the con-
versation lapsed, as it sometimes will
lapse with the best of hosts, into ques-
lions hardly distinguishable from con-
undrums. A celebrated historian was
present, and I put question to him
which know has puzzled great many
people at different times, "What is the
surname of the royal family?" aGuelph,
of course" That is the usual answer,
and it was the historians. I ventured
to suggest that, although the royal
family are Guelphs by descent, her
Msjesty's marriage with Prince Albert
of Saxe-Coburg must have the effect
which the marriage of lady has in all
other cases, and that the surname of the
present house must be the Prince Con
sorts. "But what is the surname of the
Prince, Consort's family2" Simple,
but staggering. No one knew. All
guessed, and all were wrong. / hap
rened to have looked up the subject q
few months ago, SO knew that the
name was "Wettin." OF course no one
had heard it before. Every one smiled
at the horrible idea of the Guelphs be-
ing reduced to Wettinsl The point
was referred to Theodore Martin.
"You are quite right. Victim is the
family name of the house of Saxony, to
whom the dominion of Saxony came in
1920. The King of Saxony and the

Choosing a Dwelling.

The mackerel, which commercially
ranks next to the cod among saltwater
fishes, is also partial to q cool home,
though it is found somewhat further
south than the cod. Like the last named
fish, it seeks very cold water in which
to spawn, preferring that of which the
temperature is but little above the freez-
ing-point. Instead of enjoying cold
water all the year round, however, as
the cod seems to do, there is a posi-
biity that the mackerel hibernates.
Seeking a soft, muddy or sandy bed at
the approach of winter, it buries itself
therein, first drawing a scale or film
over each eye. Whether this film is an
apology for o night-cap, or the result of
a dropping Of the eyelid through .ex-
treme drowsiness, or due to providential
design, or development according to
environment, d la Darwin, is yet to be
decided; but the existence of such q
covering to the eye during Information
has been proved by examination of
mackerei which have been dragged from
their comfortable couches by the
dredges of intrusive scientists. It is
not impossible that it may yet be dis
covered that the film is the result of
disease, and that the muddy bottom is
resorted to, notas winter quarters, butas

Tennyson and Victoria.

Speaking Of Tennyson's hospitality,
the following anecdote is related: Her
Majesty, the Queen, announced it to be
her good pleasure to honor her poet
laureate with visit. Unfortunately,
she didsnot say precisely what day she
would arrive. In duty bound, the
whole family was put into its best 3bib
and tucker" The: children agonized in
their best rig, and were vigorously
*pent" indoors. Mrs. Tennyson was
bedecked with her state raiment, and
the great author himself was gotten up
to perfection, and in the latest einven
ton Of his tailor. -Four or five days
went by in the same atmosphere of ex-
peetation and grandeur, but mo royal
guests came driving up. Al last it be-
came unbearable. Ordinary manners
were proclaimed; everybody sighed
with relief and flung aside too violent
etiquette with too belaced and 3berib-
boned attire. The children resumed their
intimacies with mud-pies and rocking
horses. Mrs. Tennyson began to enjoy
novel and q wrapper, and, casting
aside romance, Mr.. Tennyson took up
hoe and began wedding his garden,
and, with glowing cheeks and animated
eyes, tried ito MAKE two blades of grass
grow where before there was only one"
Of course, when everything was jogging
along in this coy and homelike way,
the Queen and her escort arrived. At
first there was a general futter of fright
and excitement Everybody was en-
barrassed and i'll at ease. But the grand
old fellow, coming up to the house with
soiled hands and sweatdrops@ on his
lofty brow, made it all right in a few
words. my sovereign. we expected
you for several days, and were prepared
to receive you as should become those
who are honored by their Queen; but
to-day we did not know of your inten-
ton, and are therefore only so far pre-
pared as loyalty and love can make U.S.
It is needless to say that the visit was
very friendly and pleasant affair, and.
we doubt not, far better enjoyed by, SO
sensible woman as Queen Victoria
than it would have been had it.been at

FooD FOR THE SICK Beef-tea, if
rightly made, may be received with

ject or be unnourished by any other
aliment, but skill in preparing it is not
universal among nurses. The two fol-
lowing receipts may be relied on as
among the best that can be devised
Beef-tea with moderate warming up

Of the best beef; cut it into thin slices
and scrape the meat fine; put it along
with two-thirds of saltspoonful Of

tanned in an earthen bowl, and let the
mixture stand two or three hours,
stirring it frequently; place it in the
same vessel covered on the back part
of the range, and let 1T come
very gradually to q blood heat and no
more, for any higher temperature
would injure the nutriment; then

water, to which has been added
pinch, or about eighteen grains, Of table
salt, and three or four drops of muir

and set it aside for one hour, stirring
it occasionally; then strain it through
a gauze or sieve, and wash the residue
left on the sieve by means.of five addi-
tional ounces of cold soft water, press
ing it, SO that all the soluble matter will
be removed from the residue; mix the
two strainings, and the extract is ready
tor use. It should be drunk freely
every two or three hours.
