The finding of city, of compare
lively recent date, buried under virgin
soil, where cattle have grazed for cen
turtles in England, may lead to a modi-
ication of generally accepted ideas
about the change Of time. The city is
identified as Silchester, which was in
habited about 1000 years ago. For
the past 500 years British history is
quite connected, so this city was, in all
probability lost and buried that long
ago. There is no record of any con-
vlilsion of nature which could have
buried the ancient town, and the infer
ence is that natural and existing causes
work changes in the earth's surface
more rapidly than they are commonly
supposed.

DID you ever stop to think about the
mind market? You undoubtedly pay
some attention to the source Of the
daily food supply, but it is quite true to
say that you do not dwell quite frequent
ly or long upon the mind supply. What
a voracious glutton the mind is. It
isn't as much of an epicure in all cases
as it should be; this is shown by the
kind of mental pabulum many people
select-the newspapers, books, maya

THIS thing we call human progress
is thing Of slow growth. There are
people in the woodland they are the
vast majority-who think man must,
to be consistent, always hold to the
same opinions and methods. And this
comes from the fact that most men
pass through life with the opinions
held at maturity. With these an opin-
ion is principle, and they never grow
TO wider comprehension. This is the
cause Of inertia in social or political
life. The man who uses yesterday as
help for to-day is the misunderstood
man, and he who insists on tomorrow
as to-day may demonstrate defects is
the crank.

Two WAYS.

Two Ways,
Some children were playing in a
nursery together the other day.
Ned, a boy OF II, was stretched on
the floor, reading.
"Oh, Ned" said his little sister,
May, may | play with your stone
| blocks?"
Ned looked up with black irown.
He hated to lend his blocks, but he
hardly liked to refuse.
YES he said, after moment, and
he said it so ungraciously, and with
such snap. that the little girl, who
had started for the coveted plaything,
stopped, and slowly returned TO her
place without touching it.
There was silence then Ia the room
Tor little time, when the child turned
to her sister Kate IL years old, who
was busy dressing doll.
May | take your pencils, Kate"
asked Mary, pleadingly.
t0h, no, Mary" said Kate, with a
smile of regret II couldn't let your
little fingers among my drawing pen
ellis; you know | have to keep them
nice for tchool; but you may have the
bean bag board as long as you like "
May was satisfied; the gentle refusal
had taken away the sting of denial.

The Artist and the Mechanic.
Who is the artist and who is the
mechanic?
An artist is simply 4 workman who
knows what he is doing, and does it
as well as he possibly can. The work
man OF whom this may be truly said
is always an artist, and generally Oh
tains an artists pay.
The mechanic, properly speaking, is
the man who does things in a mech.
anical way. Two men may do the
same kind Of work with exactly the
same tools; but one may be an artist,
and the other is called an artificer or
mechanic. But one has learned to
the uttermost not only the principles
and the meaning OF what he does, but
the very best way OF using the tools,
toproduce mechanical results; whereas
the other, perhaps, has gone no deep
er than the surface OF it, and does 1t
more or less automatically, as he has
been taught.
When q young man--it may also be
said Il young woman, since there is no
sex in art, and womannowadays rival
men in the originality and skill oi their
work-has learned enough Of any craft
or haudiwork to make him a good
workman and able to earn good
workman pay, there is always some
thing more to be learned This some
thing more will make him an artist,
and enable him to command an artists
compensation, which IS very often
twice as much-sometimes three times
asmuch-as the workman pay.
No one moreover, can be real
artist unless heis skilliul with his hands
rs we'll as trained in intrligence-that
il, unless he Is q good workman; and
the good workman, intelligent, skilled
and wel-read in his craft, is already iii
artist. Shakespeare was well-advised
when he contrasted '.the wise and
