 Wordsworth's cottage at Grasmere, together with portraits, manuscripts Rnd about 2,000 letters, has been pre- sented to the British nation through the efforts of Prof. Knight, of St. An. Crews. It is lamentable that no one has come forward to perform a like kindly service for Tom Moore's cottage on Mushwell hill, London, which is not unlikely to be torn down. It was there that ''Lalla ROOkh" was written. Af. terward Moore lived at Bowood, in Wiltshire, in a house adjoining Lord Lansdowne's park.

CHARMING FRANKNESs.
Graceful Way in Which a Britisher
 Acknowledged His Mistake.

Acknowledged His Mistake.
 Lady Camilla Gurdon, whose liter ary remains have just been published ia London, tells many anecdotes about Mir. Lowell interesting to Americans, ssys the Youths Companion.
 On one occasion she says Thackeray asked him to criticise Henry Esmond" and frankly to point out any mistake he might detect in the English of the time of Queen Anne.
 There is one thing I think wrong" said MT. Lowell, with hesitation. Did anybody then ever use the phrase 'dif. ferent to- such thing?
 Hang it allr' cried Thackeray. "Of course they didn't!'
 An English literary man who visited this country year or two ago to lee ture frankly declared that he came, not expecting to find accurate scholarship among Americans, especially on purely literary subjects, adding affably:
 You have been too busy and useful a nation in practical matters to give uuCu lluue lO luC oAlo oAO ShoSCS OA learning"
 During the dinner at which he made this remark he criticised Shakespeare sharply declaring that his metaphors were absurd. "As for example," he said, 'sleep that knits up the raveled sleave of care' How ridiculous to fig ure sleep as knitting up torn sleeve of coatT
 A young American sitting near him said modestly, "I think the word is not sleeve but sleave, the thin fluff of a damaged web. It Is a technical ex. pression among weavers."
 "In the States probably" retorted the critic, irritably. Shakespeare never could have heard 1t. He meant sleeve"
 ''I believe" persisted the American, gently, ''the word Is printed sleave in sll the old editions. It is not an Amer ican word, but has been used for cen- turies by weavers in Scotland and the north of England"
 The visitor drowned, and then with English frankness said, laughing, ''Thank you, I was mistaken. Perhaps am mistaken about other things, and will be corrected before l leave your shores"

York, 1t is said, goes to bed for one day in each month. His door is barred against all corners, and he sleeps for most of the twenty-four hours. Many lawyers, brokers and merchants es- cape their work by crossing the ocean, sometimes returning on the same steamer. In the Memoir of Mrs. Slut ton we are told that when she mar ried a widower and found herself in control of nine children and many servants, she began the habit of lock ing herself into her chamber for an hour each day. No emergency ever in- terfered with this habit. Do you pray in there?" her husband once asked. "NOt always. But find myA self," was her reply. We all, if we choose, can command the rest and si- lence into our lives in which to find ourselves"

Rewarded For His Honesty.

An English farm laborer recently went to small store kept by an old woman and asked for "a pahnd O ba- con.
 She produced the bacon and cut a piece of, but could not find the pound weight.
 "Oh, never mind t pahnd weight. !" said he. ''Ma fist just weighs pahnd So put ther bacon i t scales.
 The woman confidently placed the bacon into one side of the scales while the man put his fist into the other side, and. of course. took good care to have good weight.
 While the woman was wrapping the bacon up the pound weight was found, and, on seeing it, the man said:
 ''Nah, you see if my fist don't just weigh a pahnd.
 The pound weight was accordingly put into one scale and the mans fist into the other, this time only just to balance.
 The old woman, on seeing this said:

That amusing genius, Frank Stock ton, declares in all seriousness that all workers should claim a second Sunday in the week. His plea is that while Sunday, with its sermon and re- ligiOus meditatlens, is a change and holiday fer the manual laborer. it is neither for the men whose brains are at work during the other six days of the week. He suggests that they shall set aside another day in the week. when they can. go fishing, or work in the garden, or at their hobby, whatever that may be, or play golf or tennis There are few thoughtful men who are not convinced, like Mr. Stockton. of the necessity of giving seasons of rest and play to thei- brains if they would keep them health. and sane 1t Is difficult to find these seasons in our heated, struggling life, and there are various devices to obtain them.

Now the critics have begun their technical discussion of the late war, and some of them superciliously de- clare that 1t taught us little in It's prog ress or in it's effects that is of value. These facts, at least, contradict the assertion. 1ttaught us that we are again a nation. united as one man. II taught other nations that in armed conflict, as well as in industrial competition. we are to be reckoned a serious factor. And it has again shown our people the often-taught but never fully learned lesson that war is wasteful, cruel and abhorrent.

Too Slow.

President of the Company-I guess you'd better discharge that boy.
 Manager-Why? He seems to be nice, quiet kind of boy, and I haven't noticed that he has neglected his work.
 President That's all very true, but I don't think he has the making of financial genius in him. He's been around here for more than three weeks now and hasn't given either you or me to understand that he knows more about the business than we do."

A Nimble Young Acrobat.

Nine-year-old Amy Hardcastle, ot Philadelphia, is wonder in her way. she is one of the most nimble little dAncers. and acrobats in the country. and the score or more of medals that decorate her breast show that her ial- ents have been appreciated. She dances on her toes and on her heels, turns soa:ersaults and handsprings, back w.2d, irontward and sideways, and besides is a very clever little singer. It is rumored that she has closed an en- gsSement to appear in London.

The English language does not suf- fer in the test of musicalness when compared with the speech of the Doukhobortsi, who have just come from their homes in the Caucasus to settle in Manitoba. Some of the col Onists have been married since landing Their names are not adapted to rapid utterance, nor do they suggest melody Vassily Ribin has taken a Malachof to wife, and other surnames of the newly welded are Slastouchin, Obedkova.

The dread of premature burial injeets misery into the life of many a person. Modern civilization should remove this dread. A law should be passed com polling the retention of the subject in a proper place for certain period until the fact of death is established by un- mistakable signs. Every man alive now should have the assurance that the awful death that follows premature burial will not be his.
