land. The Nemesis of Faith" was in tht
nature of protest against the reverence
of the Established church for what Mr.
Froude designated the Hebrew Mytholo
gy," and it received severe condemnation
from the authorities of the University OF
Oxford. In fact, so great was the storm
which Froude's book brought down upon
him that he deemed it prudent TO resign
his fellowship, and he was also obliged TO
forfeit leadership in Tasmania. Now,
after the lapse of more than forty years, he
has been appointed to the chair Of modern
history at Oxford, made vacant by the
recent death of the distinguished historian,
Professor Edward A. Freeman.
Many persons will remember the visit Of
Mr.. Froude to America in the autumn Of
1872. His lectures on the relations between
England and Ireland delivered during that
trip excited considerable discussion, the
greater part of it of an exceedingly acri
monious nature. His argument was, in
substance, that the Irish people were them
selves responsible for their country's pros
tration because of local quarrels. Mr.
Froude was once for a very short time the
editor of Fraser's Magazine, and he has
been a prolific writer for half a century.
One of his most important literary works
is Thomas Carlyle; A History Of the
First Forty Years Of His Life"

onshire, England. April %. 1878 His IA
Their was archdeacon of Totnes In 1912 he

Gingerbread Lands,

Five little boys on five big steeds,
| met in he lane one day;
The little boys did nothing but laugh.
The horses nothing but neigh.
"Where are you going, my noble men,
Riding so swift away?'
1--WE are going to find the Gingerbread land
Over the hills" said they.
Their cheeks were as round as an apple
sweet,
Their eyes were as bright as the day,
And the rosy tint of their faces fair
Was fresh as the pink tipped Mayl
Five little boys on FIVE big steeds
Came back the very same way;
The little boys did nothing but weep,
The steeds had forgotten to neigh.
And l thought heard on the rustling air,
The words of a nournful lay;
1--WE have found, alasl the Gingerbread
land,
But we'll meier go again for ayel"
Five pair of eyes with q mournful gaze,
Five faces that once were gay;
Now thin and pale as a shadow dim
And sad as the midnight gray.
The five small boys and the five big steeos
have met no more TO this day,
But always think of the Gingerbread land
Whenever pass that way.

ArtfulDess of the Ant.

Like many other insects, the ant is very
fond of sugar, to obtain which it employs a
a skill that is almost incredible. An OBJ
server thought he had protected his sugar
basin from the attention of number ot
ants by placing it in the center of vessel
full of water. To his amazement, how
ever, he found that they got at the sugar
by climbing up the wall of the room to the
part Of the ceiling that was just over the
basin. From this spot they allowed them
selves to fall down among the sugar. Sew
eral that were carried by the draft past the
bowl fell into the surrounding water, and
would all have been drowned but for the
efforts of their mates, who succeeded in
rescuing some of them. The truth of this
singular occurrence is youched for by the
witness OF it.

to the cut, his picture was taken in the

The newcomer behaves quite badly when
the cold in the head troubles him. The

the cold and cough are improving and be-

Our second picture shows Jack, the

chimpanzees in having a much longer

the fingers can touch the ground when the
animals stand erect. Naturalists tell US

Unique Advertising Device.

1t would appear that the limit of ingen-
ious advertising will never be reached. A
unique device for attracting the attention
of possible patrons has been adopted by
restaurant on the west bank of the Hud-
son river near New York. The sign con-
sists of a portable blackboard three feet
square, which leans against the house close
beside the door. On that board are four
ensigns in appropriate colors. One is that
OF European liner, another is French
flag, third is the blue flag with white
stars flown by the Hudson river boats, and
the fourth is the white flag with fish's
tai! borne by the fishing boats. Beneath
the flags are ranged in single file down to
the bottom of the board colored bits of
wood an inch wide and sharpened at both
ends, bearing the bill of fare for the day.
