Arthur Wellesley Peel, for the past ten
years official head of the British House OF
Commons, is about to resign. He was
born in 1929, in Warwickshire and is the
youngest son of Sir Robert Peel, ex-
Prime Minister of England. He was edu-
Gated at Balliol college. Oxford, taking
the degree of bachelor of arts in 1852. In
1865 he was returned to the House of
Commons as Liberal from Warwick
shire. From this time he filled several
important Offices up to his appointment as
speaker under Mr.. Gladstone's admins
tration. He was married in 1862 to the
eldest daughter of William Stratford
Drysdale, of Merevale, Warwickshire.
The London Times says: "He has proved
himself in the face of ever increasing
difficulties the strongest speaker who has
filled the chair since the resignation of

PANACEAS.
Every Mnn Has His Pet Remedies For His
Own Diseases.

Own Diseases.
1t Is extremely interesting and in a de-
gree encouraging to those who hold mind
cure theories to see how sensible people
The world over have their cure alls-wide-
~ different remedies for the same dis
sases-and give universal testimony to the
entire efficacy of these remedies. One per-
son fights off biliousness, another dyspcp-
sia and another rheumatism by eating an
orange every night just before going to
bed. Another effeotually discourages all
three of these diseases by swallowing every
night a tablespoonful of sweet oil before
retiring. Another takes tumblerful Of
water at that hour as hot as he can drink
it and POUNDS his immunity from various
diseases on that.
Not long ago at a public banquet, when
several diners were groaning over their
dreadful colds, a doctor present said that
no one living need ever have cold; that
he himself had not had vestigc of cold
for 25 years, whereas before that time he
was continually suffering from them.
When all the company bent to hear what
wonderful remedy he had discovered, he
declared that what no did was simply to
drink glass Of mineral water every night
before going to bed. A well known Bos-
ton physician keeps his patients in health
by making them go without underclothes
winter and summer, and he would doubt
less scout the mineral water remedy. Still
another makes his people sleep in two
flannel nightgowns and under five blan
kets, but makes them open all their win
dows SO that the air and temperature in
their rooms are exactly the same as they
arc out of doors. We have all heard of the
Paris specialist who had theory that
since, in his view, the primitive race from
which man is descended went on all fours
it is necessary, if we wish to ''get back to
nature in order to secure or restore our
health, to got down and travel upon our
hands and feet a certain portion of each
day. He made all his patients take active
exercise for an hour or two each day on
all fours, and the strange part of the mat
ter was that it effected some wonderful
cures.-Boston Transcript

The Americanism ringing in the words

The Americanism ringing in the words
of Senator Frye are refreshing at this
time. There are many no doubt who
think there need be no hurry about alb
sorbing Cuba or Canada. But Mr. Frye
does not advise any undue haste. He
would wait until Canada is willing, be
would not seize Cuba until opportunity
justified it. There should be nothing
alarming about these propositions even
to those who may believe that we dom
need Cuba and never shall, or that Canada
should sue long before annexation might
become fact. There Is no doubt that the
trend of affairs is now in the direction
indicated by Senator Frye, tendency
which by its nature must appeal to the
national spirit. But where he deals with
present opportunities and pressing needs it
seems as If every true, progressive Ameri-
can must agree with him. 1t is pusil-
luminous TO allow England to play fast
and loose under the broken Clayton Bull
wer treaty. He is not blinded rs to
England's purposes with respect to Vcne-
zuela and Nicaragua. The amen that
would go up from the people Of this coun
try were they now to vote upon this posi-
tion taken by Senator Frye would come

patriotic revivals and Bismarck and
Napoleon appear as inspirational figures
in the foreground and background of these
popular uprisings. An opportunity for
giving utterance to patriotic fervor was
afforded Americans this week in connec-
ton with the celebration of tho birth
day anniversary of Rev. Doctor Smith,
the venerable author of America" 1t
would be rabid anarchist indeed who
would not be moved by the grand, swell
ing chorus my country tits of thee, sweet
land of liberty" There is truth to be cher,
ished in this stanza from the poem read
at the anniversary celebration in Boston,
Wednesday:
"Beloved be the patriot bards OF our land
Who blend their proud themes with hel
name,
As priced be the freedom borne songs of that
band
Who sound every note for her fame.
Not in laws, but in flial Poesys praise,
Moves the homage OF Harmony's SON
Not by Wars fierce arrays, but by LoyGlty's
Find we our true fealty won."
One may question some Of the phases OF
the Napolconic revival, which may in a
sen Sc be termed craze. But whatever
influences may emanato from celebrations
like that of the author and his production
America" are not to be feared. On the
contrary they are quite sure to be whole
some. A kind of lunacy that has been
tolerated by many who ought to know
better, is that which is inclined to sneer at
patriotism as form of selfishness, ma
tional rather than personal, but presumed
riotism never made towards. The thrills
by which it has stirred the souls of men
are not those that chill the marrow or
produce GOODNESS and weakness in the
vicinity of the spinal column. 1t has
at times been iuggled for base purposes but
those who actually experienced it were
ever ennobled by the experience. More
over it has been yearly becoming more
apparent that a little patriotic fire was
needed to better fuse our growing cosmo-
politanism. The prominence the national
flag has been given upon many of the
school buildings in the country is good
work along this line. AS complement
to this in some cities the children have
been taught to salute the flag as part of
their daily exercise. The attempt to have
this custom introduced in the schools of
Maine we think should receive encourage
mcnt. Patriotism Is necessary to the well
being of a country and the people in it
under the existing conditions of civiliza-
ton and intelligent patriotism is the kind
that will do the most good. The need of
more of it in the administration of ma
tional affairs has been painfully apparent
