WHY ENGLAND IS GREAT.
A Native Offers aa Expianation-Britain
 Naval SUperiOrity.


 How was it that Ealf an island over which Queen Elizabeth ruled developed into the worldwide empire over which Queen Victoria reigns? First and fore most, says Blackwood's Magazine, it must be referred to the qualities of the race, their energy and adventurous spirit, their capacity to colon;ze, to rule subject races, and to administer their affairs. That race was sprung of sue cessiyc seafaring invoders of these is lands who were trained for generations in the arduous defense of these shores, and taught to achieve naval superior ity as necessity of their position. AS early as Edward III. the sover- eighty of the narrow seas was asserted, and conceded as a matter Of course by the people of the low countries. As centuries rolled on, the insularity of our position became more marked as our possessions, in Europe dwindled l awa.-. The drill sergeant, who is the artifcer of German fortunes, has had i no ascendency in these islands, whose preoccupations have not risen from mil itary empires on their boundaries. Naval superiority has been the guarantee of our shores, ard at the same time the foundation of an empire which has grown mp beyond the seas. The same qualities which achieved ordered liberty at home spread commerce, settlements and empires abroad.

OLD LIGHTHOUSE.
Was Built by the Romans and Is Still in

Was Built by the Romans and Is Stin in
 Good Condition.
 The oldest house existing in Eng land is the Roman Pharos or lighthouse, which still forms so conspicuous an ob- ject on the cliffs within the precincts of Dover castle. The masonry of this interesting work is composed of tufa, cement and Roman bricks, or tiles, and is in the best style of Roman workman. ship. History and tradition are alike silent as to the actual date of it's erec-. tion, but, judging from the style of masonry, and bearing in mind that the erection of such beacon would be practical necessity when once the Ro- mans had thoroughly established them selves in southern Britain, one may fairly ascribe it to date not much later | than the middle of the first century, A. i D., following on the expedition of Clau- dius, and the succeeding conquests of Plautius, who brought most of the island south of the Thames under the ! Roman domination. To the upper part of this lighthouse was added in Tudor times an octagonal superstructure, still remaining, although in sadly bat J tered condition. The remains of lake dwellings, such as have been found at Burton Mere, in Suffolk, and near GlaS. tonbury. in Somerset, are supposed by some to date back so far as 1900 B. c. :; but, although these are built on piles, they hardly cone within the meaning of the question.

Taken Most Abundantly in Cold Weather
 Because of Their One Unvarying Habit.
 No successful method of catching ter rapin in large numbers has yet been de- vised A kind of set net is sometimes used, but with no remarkable success. The general statement holds that ter rapin are caught singly. At no season of the year do the fishermen, who make side issue of terrapin, know ex- actly where to look for them. All their movements are aimless, and their only habit which can be depended on is that of burying themselves in the mud at the bottom of the water during the continuance of cold weather.
