Thomas Tension:
"When New-Engand shall trouble New-Spain.
When Jamaica shall be Lady OF the Isles and

When Spain shall be I'm America HID
And Mexico shall prove a Madrid.
When Mahomet's ships the Baltck shall

When Africa shall no more sell out their Blacks

When Batavia the Old shall be conemn'd by

when new Drove OF Tartars shall China sub

When America shall cease to send out its Treas

Their journey has had the result Of bringing

which will be to further the aims of the exhibit
ton in every possible way.
A similar committee is already at work in
Italy. 1t sends favorable reports regarding the
dispatch OF pictures from Rome. Genoa and
Naples.
Another important point in connection with
the organizing Of the exhibition Is the collection
of the works OF Van Dyck which are in the pos
session of the churches. For the proper carry
ing out Of this part OF the committees duties
sub-committces have been formed in various
parts Of Belgium and other countries.
1t is estimated that the exhibition will com
prise about two hundred pictures. Negotiations
have already been opened for the insurng Of
this valuable collection

The collection OF the chief works Of the great
Flemish painter from the Van Dyck exhibition
which is to be held shortly in Antwerp Is a task
which, in view of the many pictures which Van
Dyok painted in the course of his travels abroad,
presents many difficulties.
I have already referred to the requests which
King Leopold has addressed to Queen Victoria
and the Emperor OF Russia for the loan of the
pictures in Their Majesties' possession.
Compliance with these requests will, Of course,
be of the utmost value to the exhibition, but it
will not complete it. The Organizing Committee
of the exhibition IS casting wistfui glances at

A good story is being circulated
at the expense ola Laurens merchant
who would not patronize home en-
teoprise. The Laurens Canning
factory, one of the most successful
concerns in the State, ships it's goods
to all parts of the country, but the
merchant in question persistently
refused to place his order with it be-
cause it was local concern, whose
goods were not, as he thought, Of

Recently, the story goes, be placed
an order with a New York house,

When the goods came the merchant,
to his surprise, learned that they

his store. Aside from the freight,

goods than they would have cost

The Laugh Wasn't On the Boy.

1t is said that Professor Blackie
often told this anecdote "on himself: ::
This genial old professor used to
form very picturesque feature in
the Edinburgh streets. He was a
wiry old patriarch, with handsome
features and hair falling in rin8lets
about his shoulders. No one who
had seen him. Oae day he was
accosted by very dirty little boot
black width his ''Shine your boots,
sir'" The professor was impressed
by the filthiness of the boys face.
Il don't want a shine, my lad,"
said he. But if you'll 60 and wash
yonr face I'll give you sixpence."
ga RIGHT, SIR was the lads reply.
Then he went over to a neighboring
fountain and made his ablutions.
Returning, be held out his hand for
the money.
"Well, my lad," said the professor,

there was none of it to be bad in

pounds of it to bring home with her.
She didn't mean to pay duty or it,

Boston harbor, so she made herself
petticoat, and into the lining there
of she quilted the tea. When the
steamer drew into port, she put on
the garment. To wear it was
martyrdom. It seemed to weigh a
ton. She could scarcely walk in it,
and the hang of her new going

it, but the custom house officials let
her pass without suspicion. She
went directly to the railway station
and started for Washington. TIE

met her at the station. He marked
her pale, worn look. As they step
ped into the carriage she told him
the story.

ahead of me-" she said proudly.

Her husband fell lack in the car

''Lovely!" he said. "Lovely! I
