of mention in the same company with
eminent claqueurs. The part he ap-
rlaudeG happened to be the only good
scene in the whole play. His sense Of
art, unfortunately, was stronger than
his idea Of duty. Seized with uncon-

The origin of the name of Phoenix
park has puzzled many scholars unac-
quaintcd with the Irish language. The
manor was called in the Irish vernacu
lar Fionn- -uisge, pronounced finniske,
which signifies clear or fair water, and
which. articulated in the brief English
manner. exactly resembled the word
phoenix. The spring or well so called
from which the park derives its
name still exists close to the Dublin en-
trance of the viceregal lodge. 1t is
situated in a glen beside the lower
lake and is one Of the romantic objects
of the park.-London News.

The seal consists of a large mass Of
sterling silver, measuring about Ga
inches in diameter by IA inches in
depth or thickness. 1t is in two parts,
both smooth on the outer side. but elab-
orately engraved within. These two
surfaces are impressed upon lump Of
wax attached in an ingenious way to
any document to which her majesty as
sovereign gives her royal assent. The
weight of the seal Is lS5 ounces. Each
seal Is engraved during the reign Of
the sovereign whose name it bears,
and the collection presents a curious
and accurate epitome of English his
tory.
All lord chancellors have taken the
greatest care of the seals in their
charge and have contrived recesses
and elaborate devices for their safe
custody. One Of them in the reign of
Charles II actually slept with the seal
under his pillow and by this loving pre-
caution saved it from thieves who one
night broke into his house and carried
off the mace belonging to the house of
lords and other valuable property

When you hear a young man say,
81 don't believe in woman having
anything to do but sit and read or
manicure her finger nails all day, |
don't want my wife to be busy about
anything" why, of course, you know
that the young man is simply talking
against time. He doesn't mean a word
he says, and it is safe to warrant that
he is the first man who would be bored
to death by such girl This young
man may like to fancy that he is be-
lever in such false sentiments. and
perhaps he does believe in them for
the moment of saying. But this may
more than likely be only his way of
protesting against the wave of energy
which the grlhood of today is respond
ing to, out of which perhaps may
come salvation even to man. Or else,
possibly, there is nothing more than sly
method in his old school assertion

Artistic Signs.

There Is no need of having hideous
things for signs Signs may be bcauti-
tui In Belgium particularly munich
pal art society has taken hold of the
matter and initiated competition for
beautiful designs. They give liberal
prizes for the best signs. Sculptors and
skillful workers in iron compete be-
cause Of the value of prizes and be-
cause of their interest in the work and
the merchants because of the advcr-
tisement which it gives them. The re-
suit has been that all over Brussels you
find pretty signs, and the curious part
Is that the beautiful ones pay better
than the ugly, for while the latter only
receive a passing notice and then a
feeling Of disgust the signs which are
beautiful attract permanent attention,

The Road Problem,

The improvement of country roads is
chiefly an economical question, relat-
ing principally to the waste Of effort
in hauling over bad roads, the saving
in money, time and energy in hauling
over good ones, the initial cost of i'm
proving roads and the difference in the
cost of maintaining good and bad ones.
1t is not necessary to enlarge on this
subject in order to convince the aver
age reader that good roads reduce the
resistance to tgatiic, and consequently
the cost of transportation Of products
and goods to and from farms and mar
kets is reduced to minimum.
