meaning OF thy dream is that thy fam

The king wa very angry at that and
sent the sOOthSayer at once to prison.
Then he sent for another so~othsayer
and again asked for an interpretation
of the dream.
The soothsayer made nswer 20

SHOULD INITIATE AMERICA,
Lord Rosebery Deplores British Self
CompIacency.


London, Oct. 16.-Lord Rosebery,
speaking at Birmingham on the no.
cessity Of Great Britain being better
equipped in political and commercial
education, dwelt upon the dangers of
British complacency.''
He urged his countrymen to initiate
the United States and referred to the
restless enterprise of the Americans,
their devouring anxiety to improve
existing machinery and methods and
the apparent impossibility of accumu-
lating any fortune, however gigantic,
which shall satisfy or be sufficient to
allow of leisure and repose."
Later in his address Lord Rosebery
observed: "a disdain Of fnality and
an anxiety for improving on the best
seems almost disease in America;
but in Great Britain we can afford to
catch the complaint at any rate in a
mitigated form, and give in exchange
some of our own self-complacency.
