A Minor Victory.

Surveying a field of battle the duke
of Wellington could detect almost at a
glance the weak points in the DISPOSE
ton of the forces. and when the weak
ness was on his own side he promptly
and resolutely caused it to be made
strong. An English magazine tells this
story of him which ought to be true:
One day, when some small visitors hap
pened to be in the nursery at Strath-
tieldsage, he walked up to the top of the
house and found the youngsters at tea.
He gazed grimly around as if the room
were a field of battle and noticed that
there was no jam on the table. Without
a word he rang the bell violently A
footman appeared and stood petrifed
Have the goodness TO understand"
said the duke in voice of thunder.
that when children are invited to nv
house to tea they are to have jam"
Then he departed, and before he was
out of earshot a shout went up that
must have reminded him of Waterloo

months later Lee Jewett, boy in the
same class, who next used the desk,
was drowned while bathing in the Kaw
river, near Turner. Three men met
their death while trying to recover
young Jewett's body and the tragedy
will long be remembered in Argentine

Bert Jessup, aged -, who, a week ago
Saturday, went hunting frogs with arS
other boy and 22-caliber target riff
The gun was accidentally discharged
and Bert sustained wound from which
he died early the next morning.
The sad reflections inspired in the
minds of teacher and pupils by the rec
ord of the year in that schoolroom
have naturally developed prejudice
against the desk of fate that, in the
case of the pupils at least, borders very
closely on superstition.

The correspondence columns of the
Australian papers are teeming with
novel and original suggestions for the
style and title of the federal capital of
the early future. ''Cooktown' is pro-
posed as posthumous compliment to
Capt Cook, the Columbus of the Aus
tralian seas. "Ophir." the Biblical gold
en- city," is also considered appropriate,
as gold is principal Australian prod
uct. Augusta" the name of the first
known settlement on the site of Lon
don, is regarded by one correspondent
as a capital symbol for "a noble, ma
jestic, imperial city" says the London
Chronicle.

beth Pegden, from Dunkirk, was bap-
tiled August ,, 1895, and the burial of
this Actsapostle Pegden, aged 10 years,
took place November IA, 1865. The
name seems to have been Abbreviated to
Actsy, for the vicar of Boughton has
heard "A parishioner speak of her uncle

THE NIGHTINGALE.
Singer That Has been the In
spiratiOn of Poets of
Every Age.

Here comes a singer, indeed, who has
neither equal nor second. If its song
is unknown to any who read this, |
would say, wait until you hear music
solemn and yet jubilant as ever came
from Il bird; a voice of transcendent
sweetness, variety, and with a supreme
power of impressing itself on the very
nmost fiber of our minds, and bring
ing us into some mysterious sympathy
with things beyond our understanding;
and when you hear it you must know
you are listening to the nightingale
That song has been described over and
over again; poets have loved to sing of
it, and Milton, in his 80 nightingale
that on yon blooming spray has with
his curious and accurate felicity, found
just the word that expresses one of it's
chief charms-its liquid notes"
Wordsworth's
Those notes of thine, they thrill and pierce
Tumultuous harmony and fierce,
express other of its beauties. Keats
famous ode has in it less of the nightin-
gale, but yet his epithet, ''full-throated
ease hits that careleSsness of utter
ance, that unpremedita tiveness Joined
with supreme finish, which places it
above and beyond all bird artists But
ii | were asked what is its best, its most
wonderful achievement, | should say
it was the marvellous crescendo on one
note, almost human in its artistic per-
fection. This is the one low piping
sound more sweet than all" of Cole
ridge-Coleridge, who has so defended
the bird against the charge of melan-
choly that all other defenses can be but
a plagiarism of his.
tbs the merry nightingale
That crowds and hurries and precipitates
With fast thick MARBLES his delicious notes.
Indeed, l do not know how the fable
OF the melancholy nightingale has crept
into the minds of men; not only is the
song eXultant, but every movement of
the bird is full of nerve and joyousness.

day, having completed his seventy-sec-
ond year There are older peerages still
in existence, but the barony of De Ros
is the oldest peerage of that grade, it
having been created in 1864 by Henry
H., and the present peer is the twenty
fourth holder of the title. That gives
an average life to each holder of over
26 years, but many of them did not sue
coed to the title very early in life. The
present peer was Al when he succeeded
