Three Great Presidents

Washington is known as the "Father of his
Country" lie led our armies through the war of the
Revolution, fighting against tremendous Odds and in
spring his countrymen with courage in the face of
defeat. His wise council and elevated policy did
much to establish the Union and to bring the inde
pendent States into harmonious relations under the
compact of the Constitution.
Lincoln is regarded as the pieserver of the Union,
and the man who destroyed slavery. 1t was his wis
dom which kept the Union elements together and
made it possible to overthrow armed rebellion; he
struck the shaclles from millions of slaves and made
them freemen.
Mckinley will be known as the man who con-
ceived the idea Of the expansion of American oppor
tunities. Who framed measure to build up our
industries who led in the establishment Of sound
currency, and in the marvellous extension of American
commerce He will be remembered for having ex-
tended our benehcent institutions to the islands Of
the sea- and for making our flag respected to the
ends of the earth.

'We bless Thee for such citizen, for such

Divorces. syrian style.

Divorce in unenlightened Syria is
even more easy of accomplishment
than in enlightened America.
Three words spoken by the husband
will put the woman away and out of
the house. She drops whatever work
she may be engaged in, seizes her youn-
gest child-the rest belong to the father
and rushes off to her fathers house,
there to remain disowned, degraded
creature until another purchaser ap-
plies for her. If the first husband
should repent his hasty action and seek
to remarry the divorcee, he engages q
professional tool, usually half witted
fellow who makes a living in this abb
horrent manner, to marry the peni-
tents former wife and on the morrow
of the wedding day to divorce her in
his turn. A man may not renew the
woman he has divorced unless she has
been since married and divorced by an
other man.-Marion Harland in Pres

While Pitt, the grandfather of Lord
Chatham, was governor Of Fort st.
George In 1893 he became acquainted
with a jewel merchant named JAM
chund, who brought diamond of great
size for sale. He asked 100000 for it in
the rough. 1t should, of course, have
been bought on behalf of the company,
but Pitt, seeing money. in it, could not
resist the temptation of making pri-
yate bargain. He became the possessor
OF the stone for the sum of f20,400, and
he was quite satisfied that he had be-
haved honorably when he paid the
man, who on his part was also content
But the diamond was known to be
worth more than Jamchund had receiv-
ed, and the transaction gave rise to a
good deal of gossip, which in no way
decreased when later on Pitt had the
stone cut in England and sold it to the
regent of France for f135,000. Even
that enormous sum did not represent
it's true value. The stone was set in the
royal crown of France, and it is valued
in the present day close upon half a
million sterling. 1t weighed 410 carats
in the rough, but the cutting reduced it
to 1876 carats.-Mrs. Penney's Fort St.

Iceberg Designs.

All the architecture of the world is
represented in natures iceberg designs.
Sometimes a little berg will have the
appearance of an Arabs white tent as
it rides on desert looking sea; anoth-
er, its sharp outlines softened in the
vaporous atmosphere, will appear like

This sort of thing had been going on
for some time, and George had grown
quite an adept at it. In fact, it was al
most impossible to talk to him now, for
he would forget that Mrs. Morley was
not listening, and his conversation
would be continually broken by ssFor-

beginning to get seriously alarmed
about him.
The climax came one evening when
Mrs. Morley had asked us both to tea.
George had been in most nervous
state all day, and the sight of our host,

time she spoke to him he would MUIR

to get it out of his head. Oh, can't you

"Playp' came family from Georges

he continued his raving.

A BIRTHDAY SONG.

A loving song to one so very loving,
With faith unfailing through unnumbered days,
We're but to prove what needs not any proving,
Yet love sings many lays
What can be said that is unsaid, hearts dearest9
Still the old words we know are sometimes
best.
The things most precious oft what lie nearest,
Their value unex1ressed.
AS the years wheel may they with every wheel
ing
Bring in each season gifts they brought before,
With added sweetness, memories and healing
From out loves boundless store.
So shall each year give an increase OF blessing
And closer draw the ties already dear;
What once perchance seemed scarcely worth pos
sessing
Has worth by love made clear.
With love begins our life, by love is tended,
Fen though at times its rule is hard to see,
Through all lfe's phases till, the journey ended,
Love perfected shall be.
