WHY THE SALVATION ARMY"

Name Of Great Organization a Matter
of Chance.
In note upon the origin of the
Salvation army the following account
OF the selection of the title is given
by London Opinion: William Booth
the younger one day wrote at his
fathers dictation the words "The
Christian mission is voluntary
army" Suddenly Mr.. Booth leaned
over his sons shoulder and substi-
tuted the word salvation" for vol
untary." Thus was the Salvation
army born. And the addition of the
various military titles followed nat
urally. though curicusly enough that
of captain was originally intended to
be nautical. in order to please the
Whitby fishermen. AS fer Mr.. Booths
title of general. the credit for 1t be-
longs to Capt. Cadman, who one day
announced him at meeting as the
general of the Salvation army, and
that has stuck to him ever since.

While 1t is universally admitted that
the administration Of the Department
OF Agriculture is probably the most
effective in the world. It Is interesting
to note that this service costs the ma
tion far less than that of other coun-
tries. A German paper states that
Russia expends annually for this pur-
pose as much as the United States
and France. Austria and Hungary
about $s,5O0.000 each, while America
spends but $4,000 900.

usURERs OF EARLY TIMES.
Lombard Merchants Once the Re-
lance of English Kings.

lance Of English Kings.
Lombard street took its name from
the Lombard merchants who, coming
from the four Italian republics of
Genoa, Lucca, Florence and Venice,
settled in London in the reign of
Edward l. They were the great
money changers and money lenders
of early times. The English kings
being often in great straits for money
to carry on foreign wars and for
other purposes, they appealed to the
Lombard merchants for advances,
granting them exclusive privileges in
return. Their extortions became SO
great that, in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth, steps were taken to oblige
them to leave the country. They are
chiefly remembered by their armorial
bearings of three golden balls, now
the Distinguishing mark of the USE
ful pawnbroker, the humble descend
ant of the proud Lombard money
lenders.

Lose. Reason, but No. Wealth.

Some years ago a very wealthy
man in England got It into his head
that he had lost all his money. To
pacify him his sons told him that
they had saved the remnants of the
estate and were able TO offer him
employment as q clerk. At $3.50 a
week he worked as happy as prince
for the last twenty years Of his life.
When he died his estate amounted
to nearly $15.00O.0O0.
