Mr.. Lowry is a newspaper man,
with a moderate income and one
child, a boy of II or 10 years. Like
most newspaper men perhaps, Mr..
Lowry believes that the modern Ian
guages have not had their rightful
place in the minds of educators. He
is determined that his boy shall have
some acquaintance with at least
French and German.
To this end he is already sending
him to a French master, who gives
him three lessons a week and is &C
customed to be paid every Monday.
Last week Mr.. Lowry found his
finances somewhat depressed and
sent Henry to his lesson without the
usual bank note.
That evening the ambitious father
did as he always does looked over
the boys exercise, and this is what
he found Henry doing his best to put
into Partisan French:

When The 0neen was Yonne.

The marriage of Queen Yictoia,
then only twenty years of age, to
Prince Albert, of Sax-Gotha, it is
well known, a veritable love match,
but for some years the royal lady
found some difficulty in reconciling
her sense of dignity and her wiEely
affection. The story goes that one
day, after little disagreement, Her
Majesty having expressed herself
in rather a despotic tone, the Prince,
whose manly selfrespect was smart
ing at her words, sought the seclu-
sion of his own apartments, closing
and locking the door after him.
In about five minutes some one
knocked at his door.
"Who is it2' inquired the Prince.
isl. Open to the Queen OF
England" haughtily responded Her
Majesty.
There was no reply. After long
interval there came gentle tapping
and the low spoken words:
ait is I, Victoria your wifel''
And then the door was opened
and the young bride was clasped il
her husbands arms.

Incidental Marriage.

There was no fuss and fummery
about the wedding of a Portland
woman last month. She had a job
washing doors at the City Hall, and
one morning appeared with her
pals and mops as usual. Along in
the forenoon she surprised the JAM
itor by announcing that she was
going out for few minutes to get
married, and in just 45 minutes she
was back, the ceremony all over the
nuptual kiss duly attended to, and
resumed her scrubbiDg. She prob
ably appreciated the fact that some
times it is easier to get husbands

The Hygienio Law of Rest.

Experiments conducted at Munich
have shown the wisdom of the divine
decree that man should rest on every
seventh day and have made the rea-
sons therefor clear 1t was demon
strated that the system loses oxygen
to the amount of several ounces as
the result of hard days work per-
formed, and that under fairly good
hygienic conditions the laborer does
not recover during the night all of
the oxygen he has overdrawn, the
net loss being about one ounce, but
that an occasional day of rest com
ing just at the right time will COM
pletely restore the equilibrium and
make him as good as new. If he does
not have this rest at regularly recur-
ring intervals, his health will deteri-
crate, his power for work diminish,
and he will age prematurely. More
over, the intervals of rest must not
be too far apart.
This was shown during the reign
of the age of reason in France in the
last decade of the eighteenth CEN
tury. To obliterate the idea of the
Sabbath it was ordered that every
tenth day should be observed as a
season of rest and festivity, instead
of one day in seven. But in a very
few years it was noticed that there
was an evident deterioration both in
working animals and working men.
Every seventh day as a day of rest
was proved to be something more
than a dogma of the church. It was
also the fiat of nature. The Munich
experiments now show the physical
basis of the Sabbatical day by dem
onstrating that the amount of ex-
haustion of the oxygen of the system
by six days of labor Is the amount
that can be supplied by aday of com
plete rest.-Albany Express.

Great Britain is small island

Yet Great Britain has prospered
and now controls the commerce of
the world, while our county is in
the worst stages of a financial de-
preston. There is something wrong
somewhere, and the people want to
know inst what it is. The British by
adopting the policy offree trade have
made their country the worlds
workshop. They take the raw ma
terial of every land, manufacture it,
and send it back to its producers.
They take a pound of American cot
ton for z cents and send it back in
shapes that command from 20 to 100
cents pound.
Here is lesson for our people.
We cannot get rich by producing
raw material for other nations and
sections to manufacture. a whole

med up in these statements. We
cannot expect to prosper until we
