One crisis In Lord Palmerston's life
illustrates the absolute good humor
which niuy prevail even when political
ennlty Is at Its worst. Lord Derby had
made an attack upon him In the upper
house with such energy and sloquence
that the odds against him seemed over
whelming. But he defended himself
and his policy from the dusk of one
day TO the dawn of another with such
tact. dexterity and force of appeal to
the national sense of honor that he was
acquitted of all blame by majority Of
fourscore.
Next day In passing through the cor
ridor leading from an anterooin to the
upper house one swing door opened to
his hand and at the same moment the
other to that of Lord Derby. They

when ri..ot wa. sati.aed.

An interesting story is told OF
Jacques Tissot, the great French paint
er. While in England he painted a
beautiful religious picture and, meet
Ing countrywoman, asked her opin-
ion of his work Its chef d'oeuvre,"
she replied giving remarkably just
and detailed appreciation of the va
rious merits of the painting.
Are you satisfied" asked friend.
Tissot answered in the negative. He
entirely repainted his picture, working
night and day.
When finished, he sent again for his
fair critic. who pronounced 1t admira-
BILE and remained silently admiring It
with smiling criticism.
Are you satisfied?" asked the friend
again when the lady had departed
NO" replied the artist and he set to
work for the third time.
When the Parisienne saw the new
painting. she gazed at 1t for some mo-
ments with evident emotion and then
without word sank softly to her
knees and began to pray.
Are you satisfied nowT whispered
the friend, and Tissot said "Yes."

1t is very doubtful which race first
skated. for traces have been found
among prehistoric remains all over
northern Europe indicating that the
art was practieed by primitive peoples.
The Eskimo of the farfhest north are
also found to be in possession Of run
ners carved from whalebone.
Skating is mentioned by Danish
historian about 1874, and Fitzstephen
In his History of London" says that
In the twelfth century young men
fastened the leg bones of animals I'M
der their feet by means of thongs in
order to slide along the ice. This
statement is confirmed by the pair OF
bone skates of the period now in the
British museum. 1t is lfkely. however,
that these early Londoners got the
idea from Holland, probably via Lin
colnshire, where skates have been
used on the frozen fens from very re-
mote times.
