to BE Applied.
There are heaps Of history in titles
For instance. take that of the prince Of
Wales" This title is always given to
the eldest son Of the ruler reigning over
England, and it came in this way:
Wales is now part Of the kingdom Of
Great Britain, rs Ireland and Scotland
are. But once for "a long time Wales
was a separate kingdom. AT last the
English conquered it, and then aftei
that there were always plots and rebel
lions among the Welsh people. BY and
by an English king went wVh his queen
into Wales to see if the Welsh were i'll
treated. and if they We're to try to make
things easier and pleasanter for them.
The Welsh mobiles and leaders all came
together TO meet their English king and
to complain to him.
But the king gave them no chance to
speak. He rose and told them he had
heard they wanted Il prince of their own,
and that he meant to give them one-a
born Welshman and speaking no other
language.
Then, as tie Welsh joyfully cheered as
loud as they could, he fetched out his
baby son, born the night before in the
Welsh castle, and of course the baby
could spec, no other language as he
was not a4le To- - - at all Ever since
the eldest son of tine English royal fami-
~ has been called the prince of Males.
That ruler deserved his own title liking,
for king is a word that comes from
"koenig,' Which means a "wise' or
"knowing man suppose the first
rulers--the heads or kings of small tribes
came to be 50 by knowing more by
being wiser. than the other men of the
tribe.
Car and kaiser both came from
the Latin word Cesar, the tide of the
great conquering Roman rulers, whose
only law WIS their own will,
The car of Russia and the young
| Kaiser William of Germany have much
more power over their subjects than the
queen of England has over the people of
England. "Sultan' is another such title,
and it comes from an Arabic word,
which means absolute lord.
Grover Clcveland's title, president, -
means one appointed TO sit before OF
over others. 1t comes from the two
Latin words pre-, which means be

The title shows that the presidents bust

makers and carry out and execute the
laws they frame. This is why the presi-

The Trouble Between France and siam.

The trouble between France and Siam
had been brewing for months, and the
active hostiltes date back to the early
part of the present year
They grew out of the disputes over the
border line between Siam and Anan,
over which latter country France has Il
protectoratc. AT one of the border towns
in the spring force Of Anamites and
Frenchmen was attacked and routed by
Siamese troops. For this France de
manded reparation, as well as a settle
ment of the boundary difficulties, and
sent a gunboat to Bangkok.
The Siamese government Immediately
began to act on the defensive and sunk
Il number OF scows on the Menam river
to prevent the near approach of French
vessels to Bangkok, the capital of Siam.
Siam has population of about 1000
600, which in lower Siam is clustered
about the rivers and canals. The Por-
tuguese were the first Europeans to es-
tablish any intercourse with Siam. This
was in 1911. English traders We're in
Siam early in the seventeenth century.
The treaty of 1856 with England prac-
tically gave Europeans free admittance
to Siam, and the English, owing to the
nearness of their Indian dependencies,
have had strong diplomatic influence
in the affairs of the country. So strong
has this been that many believe that a
war with France will ultimately result
in an English protectorate.-Boston Ad-

Pbotorrapiinr In Colors.

Color photography has attracted much
attention during the past year or Is
months, and the experimental III that line
have been startlingly successful. Pro-
fessors Lippmann and Nogel are the pio-
neers in this branch of the Photographic
art. and both are enthusiastic over re-
cent results. Lippmann's investigations
have proven that on a layer of albumcn
he could take brilliant photographs of
the spectra, nor was it necessary to
bring out the eolors one at IL time by u
laborions application of specially pre-
pared chemicals. On the contrary, they
all came out at once, even red, and that,
too, without the interpostion of colored
screens. In "A letter to II society of pho
tographers Lippmann says: Announce
the most wonderful discovery of the age
have brought ONT colors more brilliant
than the tints of the rainbow after an eX-
posture of less than 30 seconds. Alas.
grieve to tell you that there are certain
colors in the rainbow that | have not
succeeded in claiming to my plate. st

An Artistic Romance.

Here is IA romance. 1t is not SO long
ago that we have forgotten when Den

just begun to taste the sweets of appre-
citation, married Miss Eleanor Hardy,
the daughter of Mr.. Alpheus Hardy Of
Boston About the same time, Mr.
Charles Platt, the etcher and painter,
and Mr.. Bunker's chosen friend, mar
ried Miss Harper. Mr.. Bunkers death
occurred cruelty soon afterhis marriage
Not long after Mrs. Platt died. Their
mutual griefs drew Mr.. Platt and Mrs
Bunker into sympathy. This lost no
force through lapse of time, and the
other day they were married. Mrs
Platt is lovely woman of "a. Mr.. Platt
is the author and artist of the two num-
bers "Old Italian Gardens" in the July
and August numbers of Harper's Maya

One of the hard features of the linan-
tial situation is the falling Off of the
price of Government bonds which has
occurred recently. This indicates that
the people of other countries do not have
the confidence of former days in the
|desirablity of L. 5. bonds as an invest
ment. There is "A remote possibility that
the owners may have to take something
not so good as gold in the markets of the
world in payment for these securities
when they mature, and this possibility is
|enough to bring discredit upon them and
affect their price.

Self medication as "a Science.

Imagination has too much to do with
a mans practice on himself. One who
reads the little textbook ON physiology
in the schools will Immediately discern
III every rumble of his intestines the
kind Of action the gastric juices are tax
ing ON the food that has gone into ihe
stomach, and he soon becomes, if he
pushes his investigation further, a mo-
nomaniac on hygiene. 1t is true that il
man or woman who has arrived at the
age Of 40 years ought to be able to de-
eide mt glance the kind of food suited
best to their digestive organs, and eXpe-
rience ought to teach them never To
touch any food that disagrees with them.
This is true also of drinking. When II
man is 40 years of age he ought to I'M
derstand himself sufficiently to guard
against all imprudences in either eating
or drinking or working but that is about
all he ought to know about it. He eN-
poets to be employed AS an expert on
others i'll his own line of study, and he
ought to be willing to reciprocate by
employing physician WHEN he is sick

constant aim of these schools was to
rive to young men of American birth
the chance to earn IA living by AN honest
trade.
In Colonel Auchmuty's schools all the
building trades and tailoring as well are
taught, not for nothing, for they are not
a charity but at moderate rates and in

Happily, by an endowment of 500, 900

Lacenahing is by no mcans 50 old an

is no proof that it existed previously T.
the fifteenth century, and the Oldest
known painting in which it appears Is, a
portrait Of lady Ill the academy at
Venice, painted by Caspaccio, who dict
about 1923. The legend concerning the
origin of the art is as follows a young
fisherman of the Adriatic was hetrothed
to young and beautiful girl of one of
the isles of the lagoon. Industrious as
she was beautiful. the girl made a new
net for her lover, who took it with him
on board his boat. The first time he cast
it into the sea he dragged therefron an
exquisite petrified wrack grass which he
FASTENED to present to his tiancee. But
war breaking out the fisherman WAS
pressed mo the service of the Venetian
navy The poor girl weqt at the depar-
ture of her lover and contemplated his
last gift to her. But while absorbed in
following the intricate tracery of the
wrack grass she began 10 twist and plat
the threads weighted with small beads
which hung around her net. Little by
little she wrought an imitation Of the
petritication, and thus was created the
bobbin lace. Washington Star.
