.wo Prime Minister'S.

One day Sir Henry Parkes, the late
prime minister for New South Wales.
was reading a recently published life
OF MIR. Gladstone, and laying down the
volume for moment he said: 81 was
thinking when reading it of compare
son between Mr.. Gladstone's life and
my own. When he was at Elton prepar-
ing himself for Oxford, enjoying all the
advantages of good education, with
plenty of money, and being trained in
every way for his future position as
statesman, 1 was working on rope
walk at 4 pence day and suffered such
cruel treatment that I was knocked
down with crowbar and did not re-
cover my senses for half an hour. From
the rope walk Iwent to labor in brick
yard, where was again brutally used,
and when Mr.. Gladstone was at Oxford
l was breaking stones Oh the queen s
highway, with hardly enough clothing
to protect me from the cold.' Truly a
striking and dramatic contrast between
the early years of two prime ministers.

Tho Holy House Loretto,

About l5 miles south of Ancona on
the main line is the station of Loretto,
and on the hillside, about miles from
the sea, stands the city. Towering far
above the town rise the great dome and
campanile of the wonderful fortified
church which shelters within it the san
ia casa, or holy house, every year the
object of pilgrimage Of so many thou
sands Of the faithful. On entering the
church one sees at once, standing under
the dome,a strange low chapel covered
with white marble carving and gleam-
ing sculpture. A host Of sixteenth GEN.
tury artists-chief among them Sanso-
vino-carried out Bramantes' design for
the marble casing of the holy house.
But in striking contrast to the rich ex-
terror are the plain and rough stone
walls of the interior. The innumerable
silver lamps give dim religious light,
and the jewels on the image of the Ma
donna and the Child-a wonderful black
image, carved, it is said, by St. Luke
from cedar of Lebanon-scintillate in
the gloom like innumer1ole stars.
Such is the holy house which angels
- " oe%AA ~ oANO OAOuS541o 4AO11 AN 0tu
in the thirteenth century in order to
save it from desecration by the infdel.
But the house was not brought immedi-
ately to Loretto. The angels placed it
first on hilltop near Fiume, on the
Dalmatian shore. There it stayed for
three years, when it was moved again
and deposited in wood on the opposite
site side of the Adriatic, near Recanati
The wood was a laurel wood, and the
house was consequently called domus
lauretana, or house of Loretto. Twice
more, however, the house was miracu-
lousy moved short distances, till it was
at length placed in its present position,
not a very convenient one, it might
have been imagined, for it was then the
middle of the public road.
1t seems almost unnecessary to say
that there have been those that have
made merry at this frequent "transla-
tion' of the holy house, yet an innu-
merable multitude of the great ones of
the earth, including many popes and
kings, have paid homage to this black
Madonna in its rude stone cottage

t4Iandine Tor Cancer.

Lately new cure for cancer has been
described IN the journals in the shape
of the application Of watery extract
Of the great celandine (Chelidonium
majus;, plant familiar to every bot
anist The extract is administered in
ternally and also by hypodermic injec-
tion. Or. Denisenko, Russian physi-
clan, is TIE advocate Of this treatment,
which, however, has not been found
effcaciphs in the hands of certain other
experimenters. Still there is no reason
why the remedy should not be tried in
appropriate cases. 1t is not a secret rem
edy, SO ms tdical sensitiveness need not
be wouuded by the suggestion that it
should at least be tried. Curiously
enough, Mr. @. Leeson Prince in Ma
ture given quotations from works Of
date l491 and 1914 showing that the
celandjse was used in medicine in those
days, while later writers express sur
prise that the plant has fallen into dis
use. The 1891 extract speaks Of it as a
cure for cancer, and the later quotation
describen It as correcting vile and per-
nicious bodily humors. Illus

Possible Decay of tho French Cuisine

The tendency in all the French res
taurants of the present day is to pre-
pare meals for their chance customers
who may happen in at any time of the
day. Meals are r ten in greater hurry
than formerly, sven in France, where
it used to be the habit during the
iercest revolutionary and communistio
struggles when the time of dejeuner
came for each side to stop fighting for
an hour or So and devote themselves to
the midday meal. The hurry and anx-
iety Of modern life are slowly destroying
whatever was distinctive in French
cooking, which cannot be properly done
in haste or when food is required in
very large quantities.
The development Of club life is partly
responsible for this, and the latter is
only another sign of the deep lying So
cial problems which confront modern
existence at every step. Men in fash
ionable society dine more frequently at
the club than they do at their own
homes. Fewer people marry than for
merly. Home life is decreasing and club
lifs increasing. Hence the last refuge
of the Partisan chef is at the fashion
able clubhouses, which are now counted
by the score, and most of which set
very good tables.-Chautauquan.
