MS. Gladstone Sighted by the Queen.


A great deal of comment has been
created in London by the failure Of
the Queen to invite Mrs Gladstone
to Osborne with her husband. It is
true that when ordinary ministers
visit the Queen on official business it
is not usual to invite their wives with
them, but numerous exceptions have
been made to this rule.
When the Duke Of Rutland and
Lord Salisbury have visited her Ma
jesty their better halves were invari-
ably asked with them. and there is
very strong feeling that the same
courtesy ought to have been extended
to Mrs Gladstone.
The fact that she was not invited
to accompany her husband was made
all the more marked by the reference
to the retiring Prime Minister in the
Court Circular, which is edited by the
Queen herself. In it she says that
she had accepted Lord Salisbury's
resignation s'with great regret"
There is absolutely no precedent
for any observation of the kind in the
Official record of the dOings of the
court, and IL is felt that the Queen
has been guilty of a manifestation
Of Partially for her Tory Minister
not in keeping with the unwritten
law that the British ruler should oh.
serve q strictly neutral attitude to-
ward both of the great political
parties New York Recorder.

Natural B.rometers in Finland.

One of the most CURIOUS stones in
the world is found in Finland, where it
can be seen in many places. It a nat
ural barometer and actually foretells
probable changes in the weather. It
is called semakuir. and turns black
shortly before an approaching rain,
while in fine weather it is notified
with spots Of white. For a long
time this curious phenomenon was q
mystery, but an analysis of the stone
shows it to be q fossil mixed with
clay anC containing portion of rock
salt and inter. This fact being
known, the explanation was easy.
The salt absorbing the moisture,
turned black when the conditions
were favorable for rain, while the dry.
ness Of the atmosphere brought out
the salt from the interior Of the stone
in white spots on the surface.

Abuses of Naturalization.


The real question about immigra-
tion is less the danger from the sheer
number of people than from the abuse
of naturalization. The national
natu ralization law as it stands is in
efficient to prevent the grave abuses
that now disgrace most of our States,
and especially the pivotal States. "
How these abuses could be stopped
radically is clearly pointed out in the
Forum by Professor John B. Moore,
late Assistant Secretary of State and
as high an authority as there is on
this subject. In discussing the abuse
and the remedy, Professor Moore says:
"The obvious intention of Congress
was that the naturalization Of aliens
should be a judicial process, resulting
in formal and recorded judgment Of
the court In the early times when
the principal legislation on the sub
ject was framed, this end was easily
attained. The basis of the law NOW
in force was laid in the act of 1902.
The number of immigrants who came
to the United StaJes in 1920 was only
slightly greater than that of the per-
sons who have in recent years been
admitted to citizenship in a single
court in the days preceding a general
election. The process Of naturaliza-
tion has now degenerated into cler-
ical act, attended with scarcely so
much formality as the ordinary certi-
flcation of a record. Immediately be-
fore elections, when the greatest care
should be exercised, men are brought
into our courtrooms by the hundred
and admitted to citizenship by clerks
as rapidly as the meager printed forms
can be filed up and signed. In many
cases they are not even sworn upon
their so-called examination; and the
witnesses who are admitted to prove
their qualifications are sometimes
professional perjurers, utterly without
knowledge of the facts as to which
they assume to testify. 1t is not ex-
travagant to say that in this way
thousands of persons have been en-
ahled to participate in our elections
without ever having fulfilled the re-
qulrement as to residence prescribed
nv Our naturalization laws

Another Point of View.

II am tired of all this newspaper
talk concerning the management of
husbands" said Mrs. Crisp to her
dearest friend and sympathizer. ga
good man does not require managing,
and as for the bad--well, the less said
about them the better. Just listen
to this absurd advice" she added,
producing printed clipping. 'The
writer gives recipe by which wo-
man may retain the affection of her
husband. This is it: Get a raw
piece of best sirloin steak, about
three-quarters of an inch thick.
Toast it over a bright fire on a grid
iron which is handled only by your
self, never by servants. Then put a
little sweet butter over the beef with
a little salt and pepper. Give him
half pound of this piping hot every
morning, and do not speak while he
eats it. Now, what do you think of
that?" swell, for one thing the per-
son who gave that advice left out q
very important part. He ought to
explain how the poor woman who
finds it so hard to retain her husbands
affection is going to procure the
money to buy the steak" ''Very
true. The wife who needs such ad-
vice is usually the one whose husband
hardly gives her enough money to
buy bread and potatoes for the family,
let alone sirloin steak" eyes, in
deed! Isn't such advice absurd?"
And the other agreed that it was.

Value Of . drop OF OIL.

Every housekeeper knows how an
noying it is to have the hinges of the
doors squeak and locks and bolts re-
fuse to move unless great force be
used. Many do not realize that a few
drops of oil will, as a rule, remedy
these annoyances First spread a
newspaper on that part of the floor
over which the hinges swing. Now,
with the sewing. machine oil-can. oil
the hinges thoroughly and then swing
the door back and forth until it
moves without noise. Wipe the
hinges, but let the paper remain for
q few hours to guard against the
possible dripping Of oil For locks
and bolts, guard the floor in the same
manner. Oil them thoroughly, work
ing them until they will move with
ease. The egg beaten and the ice
cream freezer should be oiled in
the same manner.-Ladies' Home

,some Fre.l.s Of lGsmery.

S0m0 freaks Of Aen0Ry.
It is not unusual to find memory
retentive on some subjects and ex-
tremelY defective on others A lady
Of my acquaintance could tell the
number Of stairs contained In each
Tight in the houses in which she had
lived, yet it seemed almost impossible
for her to retain for any length of
time a remembrance of things more
important. An actor once performing
in play which had had q long run, all
at once forgot entirely the speech he
was to make. When he got behind
the scenes he said:
Chow could / be expected to re-
member 1T forever? Have I not re-
peated it every night for the last 200
nights?"
On one occasion q gentleman had
to turn to his companion, when about
to leave bis name at door where
they had called, to ask him what it
was, 80 completely and suddenly had
all memory of it left him. A story
is told Of a Frenchman who sat by his
flreside reading a book, when the
nurse brought him his infant heir to
dandle on his knee. A friend calling
upon him he forgot that he was not
reading, and, throwing the child on
the table as il it had been a book, he
left the room. Fortunately, the
the nurse was at hand to rescue the
maltreated infant
A physician, having recovered from
a severe illness had utterly lost the
power of speaking or writing proper
names or any substantive, but memory
supplied adjectives very readily, and
by their application he distinguished
whatever he wished to mention. II
he wished to speak of any one, he
would designate him by calling him
by the size or color for which he was
remarkable A musician was known
to call his flute tufe, thus using all
the letters of the right word, which
it was impossible for him to speak.
Another instance is related Of an
old lady much given to forgetting
names who was informed by her
daughter that the name of gentle
man who was to call on her was Mr..
Cowdry. She was drilled in a memory
lesson on the name, and when the
person in question called, rose to re.
ceive him quite at her ease:
"Your name is very familiar to
me" she said affably. "Good evening,
Mr.. Drycow!"

He Was Dead.

It was in a little country school in
the mountains of Pennsylvania One
of the scholars was a bright little
Irish girl whose only difficulty was in
the study Of geography. After much
labor her teacher had succeeded in
giving her a fair start when she one
day asked the child If she knew the
name of the capital Of the United
States
s:No ma'am," was the reply.
''Well, I will tell you, and then
you must try to remember it." not
doubling the pupil understood the
meaning of the word 'capital" IS
used. ut is Washington"
With smiling eyes and dimpling
cheeks the girl exclaimed:
"Why, ! thought he was dead long
ago!"-Free Press.

What Puzzled the Tramps.

"Say, Bob" said the tramp to his
companion, who was sharing with
him the grateful shade of a spreading
oak tree, near which a New York
Herald man stood, II can't tell what
makes desc yere strikers want to stop
udder fellers from workin'. I amt
never had no temptashun to make q
man quit work. I like to see q
man work. When I lays down to
smoke my pipe and take life easy
dere amt nothin' wat makes me feel
so good all over as to concentrate my
wishun on some Teller volts sweatin'
an slavin' out in de hot sun
for his daily bread. 1t just makes
me feel contented wild me lot. By
gum! dis yere's a free country, an
wot I say is de man wot wants to
work ought to be allowed to work,
an Pm dead agin and man wot trys
to stop him."
ssYou're dead right" rejoined Bob
in the same philosophic strain, ''but
I tell yer human natur' is a mighty
queer an uncertain sort o. thing, an
de more I sees of it de less I under
stands it. Now, dere's you an me.
Live an let live is our motto, an we
lives up to it. We never try to stop
nobody from workin', an we never
try to make Dobody work wot's got
constitutional scruples ag'in it. We
jes' goes our own way rej'icin' an
bearin' in mind de scriptural injunc-
tion about God helpin' dem wot helps
themselves We helps ourselves when
ever we gets half a chance. But
dere's lots of people in dis world wot
don't respect our rights not to work
cause we don't feel like it, and dey
wants to make us work. Now, 1 hold
dat we's got jes' as much right to Or
der people to stop work as dey's got
to order us togo to work. Wot's de use
of livin' in q free country II you can't
do wot you please?"
But these last words were lost on
the first speaker, for he had fallen
asleep

The way in which the name
''bureau" became applied to articles
of northumberland for literary pur-
poses is rather curious 1t was the
custom in the days when writing was
done on parchment and when book
binding was an expensive luxury, for
those who we're connected with liter.
airy pursuits to have on their tables q
piece Of cloth OF y thick nature to
prevent the bookblndin9 receiving
any injury. This piece Of textile
fabric, originally of wool, bore In

tached itself to articles OF furniture
which have . space protected by some
material for writing operations.--
