Lord Pain,erston,


Herbert Paul in his History Of Mod.

merston:
This gay, eupeptic son of BeliaP'
was now in his sixty-second year. No
English statesman except Walpole and
Pitt has passed so large a proportion
of his public life in office. The ratio
was fOrty-nine years of office to fifty
nine of public life. While the Tories
were In power he was Tory. For
more than twenty: years, from 1907 to
1928. he was secretary of war, or. as
we should now say, financial secretary
to the war office. During that long
period he seldom spoke, and Claiming,
who spoke for pleasure, complained
that ''he could not bring that three
decker Palmerston into action" Lord
Palmerston was a man of fashion and
man of pleasure. His house was a
social center of much Importance. But
he was also pre-eminently man Of af-
fairs who never neglected his business
and was always master of his subject.
When he returned to office under Lord
John no man in Europe could be COM
pared with him for knowledge of for
eign policy except Metternich and Gut
zot He took difficulties as a bold
rider takes u stlll fence, relying on his
horse and his luck. Hitherto his luck
had been very good, and his horse was
splendid animal. In 1916 England
was undoubtedly the first power of the
world, as France was the second

speakfng Of Grain.

In the United States when one speaks
Of 'cOrn," maize is always meant. In
England "ccrn" is applied to all cere-
ais. especially wheat. In Scotland
corn means oats. Germans use the
word in the same sense as the Eng
fish. Carlyle, being a Scotchman. in
writing of Frederick the Great allows
himself to refer frequently to Fred
erick's meal carts,' when, strictly
speaking, lie should have said grain
CARTS" What the bread of Frederick S
soldiers was made of was wheat and
rye, not corn in the restricted Scotch
sense. In Scotland a "cornfield'' is
only field of oats. Jameson remarks
that the term corn" in northern Eu-
rope is used to denote that species of
the grain most in use i'll any particular
region. Hence in Sweden ana Iceland
the term denotes h:r!cy.'

There was at one time wonderful
emerald extant Nth white corners,
while all the rest of the stone was of
its proper velvety dark green hue. This
stone was used as an illustrative proof
that emeraIds were born white, but
ripened into the right color in the mine,
time working one of it's usual mira
cles on the crystal. Indeed, beryl, that
pale green stone exhctly like the emer-
aid in all essentials save color, has
often been called the mother of emer-
aid. .
Aquamarine is beryl-in other
words, an unripe emerald, not yet ma
tured into the proper tint, and of this
the commoner varieties are by no
means rare. Yet it is to be doubted
whether these unripe stones would
ever mature into the txue and lawful
lustrous emerald.-London Queen.

Roman Baths. q,

Every Roman had the use of the
public baths OH payment of about half
a farthing. These were not such struc.
lures as we call public baths, but superb
buildings lined with Egyptian granite
and Nubian marble. Warm water was
poured into the capaciOus basins
through wide mouths of bright and
massive silver. The most magnificent
baths were those of Caracalla, which
had seats Of marble for more than
1,6O0 people, and those Of Diocletian
which had seats for 5000 people.-Na-

THAT AWFUL PALp|TATION.
Short Breath. Dizzy Faint, Sink
ink Feeling
They Mean that YOu Have Weak
Heart and Weak Nerves.
Heart Failure and Sudden Death Sure
Unless You do the Right Thing Now.

Failure or weakness of heart action
is very prevalent. 1t is a most serious
and dangerous condition to be in. The
first symptoms may be very slight.
and apparently trivial.
But do not fail to heed them if you
value your life. The warnings are
plain and unmistakable.
Nervousness, and weakness, giddiness
swimming of the head, strange. faint
feelings, trembling, short breath,
sinking sensation, GOODNESS of feet and
legs, futtering or palpitation in left
side of the chest, feeling of apprelIen-
sion or anxiety as of impending dan
ger, drowsiness daytimes, sleeplessness
at night.
A little over-exertion, excitement or
emotion may bring on the attacks at
any time. Sudden rising from a
stopping or reclining position will
cause dizziness, and rapidly climbing
stairs will make the heart palpitate,
produce WEAKNESS and shOrtness OF
breath. In some cases there are pains
in the region of the heart, but in most
case there is no pain whatever.
Neglect of these symptoms will re-
suit in heart failure, spasms or neural
gia of the heart, or death.

An Incident OF the Dying Days Of q
Famous Man.
A great statesman, one who had all
but touched the presidency, lay dying
within the walls of an old brick man
sion on the eastern side Of the square,
where had elected to sit.
1t was my ! first afternoon in the
square, when a hand organ began to
grind forth it's turgid strains before
the brick house. l looked and listened,
expecting with each moment that some
one would issue from the house of
DOOM and drive the dinmaker away.
Instead, bright black man, evidently
a butler, came and stood on the porch.
An hour went by before the repertory
was exhausted. Then the black man
gave the organ man dollar, and the
music and the man went quietly their
ways.
ST should think it would disturb your
master,D l said to the black guardian
of the porch.
'sHe likes it, he replied. 1.-THE organ
comes by his orders. The doctor says
it does him more good than the medi-
cines."
For a week 1 went and sat on my
bench and heard the organ grind. The
programme never varied. The concert
lasted an hour. Then came the dollar.
and the music ceased.
For full week attended these con-
certs in the square. Then came a day
when the hand organ did not appear.
looked at my watch. | was surprised.
The concert was ten minutes overdue!
What should delay him? Surely that
easy dollar had its charms!
Then, AZ though in answer to my
question, my eye caught a black fut-
ter at the door. 1t was knot of Grape.

the audience had departed-Blaine, sec
rotary of state, was dead.-Everybody's
