Prior as u Dinlnmnt.

Prior had several qualifications for
diplomatic work. Though he must some
times have been hampercd by his hum
bic origin, he never failed to maintain
the dignity of his official position. His
special knowledge of commerce, hi,
readiness, his humor, his fuency in
French. his familiarity with Horace "a
useful accomplishment in the Augustan
u3c) and even zee visage de bois, as Boil
ingbroke called it, must often have been
OF service to him. But Prior's life when
iie had the honor OF representing Queen
Anne at the French court was not happy.
His letters during that period show that
he was uneasy about the prospects of his
party and felt his own position TO be in
secure.
In those days, moreover, the British
government was not good paymastcr
generals had sometimes TO find money
from their own pockets to pay their sol
dicrs, and ambassadors salaries were
often iii arrear. When tho crash came
Prior found himself in an unfortunate
plight. LIE was looked coldly on both by
the new administration and by his own
party. 1t was stated that lie had mado
revelations, and it WAS even supposed
that his indiscrction was the cause of
Bolingbrolic's i'll judged flight For this
malicious report there is, so far as we
know no trustworthy foundation. Il OH

The wild forest trees bear IL great
abundance of foliage. and this shows
that nature provides for her own in Il
most Gountifnl manner. The inferiority
of the foliage Of the mountain trees and
those growing near lakes and rivers is
due to the rich substances contained in
dccayed leaves and water forming a
chemical action with the solar rays.
Oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbcnic
acid and the gaseous substances in na-
tnrc are sufficient to complete the annual
growth of forest trees Of all classes.
Along the broad reaches of the north
ern and southern rivers this fact is clear
~ seen and well defined. The rich nav
igable !owland rivers, such as the Thames
III England aud the Loire in France, dis
play the richest and most lnxuriant
trees. Boston Transcript.
