career of Lord Lyons when he was our
ambassador to the United States. He
was a persona grata there. "All can

genial method of receiving the British
ambassadors announcement of the
Prince of Wales marriage. Lord Lyons
did not take the advice, but he remain
ed very effective ambassador in
spite of his bachelorhood. When the
grave difficulty over the Mason and
Slidell case arose Lord Lyons was in
structed from home to present an ulti-
matum, afford twelve hours for its ac-
ceptance, and. the latter not being
forthcoming, he was to break of rela-
tons and leave the country. The
twelfth hour expired. Slidell and Ma
son were not surrendered and there re-
manned apparently only the dire pros
pect of war. Give me another twelve
hours" said Seward. the secretary of
state. 1t was an entire contradiction
of official orders, but, nevertheless, II

night until the next morning Seward
battled with the recalcitrants. Then
Lyons received an intimation that the
Confederate ENJOYS would be given up.

1t Doesn't Help Matters Only Makes
You and Others Uncomfortable.
Some thoughtful would be philosopher
or unknown divine, making bid for
fame, recently wrote book on the use
lessness OF worrying. In this valuable
little, paper covered volume, many self
evident truths were set forth, and after
careful perusai and strict carrying out
OF the rules and by laws as laid down, any
person was supposed to be on the high
road to safety from the insidious habit OF
worrying.
The worry habit is queer one. There
Is no getting around that fact. In the
first place ii is most dissgreeab!e one,
not only for the owner, but also for thoss
around or connected In any way with
him. The owner, or rather the victim OF
this habit, knows very well, no one better,
that nothing Is to be obtained from wor-
rying except i'll health, an unhappy frame
of mind and much annoyance to his or
her friends.
The habit still continues to hold Its
victim in its grasp, nevertheless, and In
nine cases out of ten no effort is ever made
to break from Its tentacles which encircle
the owner like those of the proverbial
octopus.
Most people are born with the worry
habit. How many people have not seen a
mother when her fret and only has been
swim ming with the boys, and fine
swimmer himself, yet II ten minutes late
to supper the worrying did not commence!
This habit, unlike all others, begins In
large things, and then spreads to the
smaller ones. AT first it Is with the hus-
band not returning on time, or being
| away at all, il the victim is a woman; OF
If man, 1t usually shows itself in a
business way, and no matter how well
along the deal is, and although every
thing else looks and is first rate, still the
man has to worry until everything ID
assuredly o. X.
| There are not many people, on the other
| hand, who have not at some time in thei,
checkered and varied career, Seen those
much rsrer people, the man or woman
who never worries. 1t Is hundred &c
one shot that the person who does moi
worry is in ninety nine out of every hun
dred cases classed among the healthy and
most successful class OF mortals.
Perhaps this may have something to dc
with the not worrying, some people
might think, or Others say to themselves
''If were as well as so and-so / would
never worry" yet 1t is those same people
wto say it that would be as well had they
taken things as they came, making allow
ance for everything, and above all, nevel
worrying.
| It is the business man who, when bust.
ness is through for the day, or when or
his vacation, can put for the time being
all cares and worries out of his mind un
til he is forced to think of them again
| who is the success.
OF course, all things should receiv,
| their proper amount of attention, anC
many things are often perplexing aut
vexing. Yet II all people in all walks o
life would agree to learn to not worry, i
! is safe to say that the world would b.
noticeahly better aud happier.

Know Meaning of Words You

Know Meaning of Words You Sing.
IL has freqmeutiy been source Of sur
prise TO me, says Lillian EeeSiioe, In
Success, to find young singers who come
for an expression OF my opinion on their
voices have no idea of the meaning OF
foreign words they sing. Surely it is not
possible TO make an impression on your
hearers when you have none to convey,
and that is exactly what ignorance OF the
text of a song means.
Beauty of tone is all well enough, aud
of vast Importance, bat you must also
know the value and meaning of the poet's
words that inspired the composer to write.
Yet, after listening to such a familiar
number as the "Jewel Song from
Faust, have often enough found that
the singer had no knowledge OF the text,
and but vague idea of the meaning of
the number as an episode In the opera.
II you sing in language that you do
not speak, which in itself is unfortunate,
1t is at least necessary for you to know the
meaning OF every word OF the song In
hand. The day is done, thanks to Wagner,
when triils and roulades stand for must
cal intelligence.
The word has a value above that of the
tone which is intended to heighten its
meaning. In studying q song, get abso-
lutte knowledge Of every word In 1t, no
matter what the language. DecIaim it
over carefully, that you may learn to give
just value and expression to each word
and sentence; above all else, enunciate
distinctly, and pronounce correctly.
Think out the situation and picture what
the poet has tried to place before you;
then, and then first, are you ready to en-.
ter on the study OF the melody.
In singing group. of songs In public,
try always to begin with something IA
miliar and in the vernaeular. IL is quite
as impossible to hold the attention Of an
audience before you have engaged it as it
is to cook the proverbisl hare before you
have caught it.

The Revolution by Farm Machinery.
Farm machinery may sometime do
work for Us that will be worth 81 ,000, 900, :
600 year. Theoretically 1t Is already
saving us nearly three-fourths that sum,
for IS far back as 1899, II all the crops to
which machinery lie adapted could have
been planted and gathered by hand, they
would have cost nearly 300, 900 600 more
than II they had all beeu planted and
gatherd by machinery.
1t has not only added SO much to our
wealth, but 1t has made US the foremost
exporting nation, and 1t is changing the
character OF the farmer by freeing him
from monotonous band-toil. More than
that, 1t Is fast changing the immemoriai
conception of agriculture and the pastoral
and idyllic associations that have gath
cred about 1t since the time of Abraham.
Wealth, industry, commerce, the charac-
ter OF men and even their sentiment are
all affected by 1t.
Yet so sudden have been these changes
that we have YET hardly caught their
meaning. Tue cradie-scythe Is only a
little more than a century old, and the
cast iron piow was first used even late T
than the crsdle-scythe. In OF her words, q

years ago.
Now we have steam piows, combined
harvesters and thres hers and auto now
ers. They have come into use 30 recently
that only small part OF the population
has ever seen them at work. Yet they
are changing our life in all ns wide
