The recipe for Banbury cakes dates from the time of the civil war, when the new familiar dainties were invent ed by an old dame and disposed of with level impartiality to royalist and roundhead alike. Tradition has 1t that she bequeathed the secret as q dowry to her daughter. whose husband amass- ed a fortune by their saIe while still a young man. Since then their manufac- ture has enriched quite score of peo- pie and they are now made in enorm- ous quantities and exported to the ends of the earth. In a single year. 1t Is recorded, one Banbury baker alone dis posed of no fewer than 13O,5OO two penny ones.

Originally it consisted of single fragment of parchment six inches by nine. But as time went by other ingredients were disccvered- there are said to be no fewer than 137 of them now-and supplementary di- rections and instructions were contin- ually being added until the one bit of skin had grown to a volume of over 100 pages.

 Catharine De Medici's Secret.
 It was the daughter of Catharine De Medici. afterward queen of Navarro. who. according to tradition, invented the lace which is called after her. "Reine Margot." To her favorite sery- ing maid, Marie Courtalaide, she be- queathed the sealed pattern, and with 1t also-although of course all unwit- tingly--a death warrant. for poor Ma rie was murdered for the sake of her paper treasure by a Neapolitan advel- turer-some say she was married to him-who realized a fortune from his blood gotten knowledge.

Absinthe Brings Fortune to French DistilIer Who Buys Formula Crimson Cloth for Cardinals

Chambers Journal
 There is money. big money some- times. in secret recipes. That for the making of particular kind of pill was disposed of recently at public auction in London for the good, round sum of $25,O0o. Nor does this by any means establish a record. The original reel De for the making of absinthe, first sold by its inventor a French chemist. named Ordnaire, for q few hundred francs. changed hands shortly after ward for $5O,O00, a rich distiller pay ing that sum for it, and he made a profit of over $1.OOOOO on his invest ment.
 The Oxford Press Syndicate values the formula for making the thin tough paper used in printing its bibles at 25O.0O pounds, it having cost them over twenty-five years of hard work to dis cover and perfect the process. Even more valuable, probably, Is the secret of the manufacture of the paper upon which the notes of the bank of Eng land are printed, which belongs, as Is pretty generally known, to the Portals of LaverstOke, who have accumulated a fortune from it inside of a couple of generations.

 In that dim past. when Homer was singing the Iliad in Greek cities. Je- hoshaphat started an educational em- hassy through the Kingdom of Judah. This commission of princes, priests and Levites is unique. Its methods were an advance upon those of the poet. It carried with it, and left behind 1t, a written literature. They had the book of the law of the Lord with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah and taught them." This is said to have been the germ of the syna- gogue. an institution which played so large a part in later Hebrew history. This first recorded systematic measure of public instruction. partly accounts for the prosperity and strength of the Kingdom. This was one of the means by which the Lord established the kingdom" It was a peripatetic and popular seminary. In addition to this pedagogic means. the king placed his country in the most thorough state of military defense. He garrisoned the fortified cities. created military posts, and formed the first standing army of which there Is record. A final measure was the thorough organization of pub lie justice. But in all this the person al character of the ruler can not be lgnOTeu. HIS WAS dn tleNdteu Spii IL '' His heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord" He was unaffected by the current spirit of idelism. file sought the Lord, and walked in His commandments. He wielded the ex- emplary power of his high position to the uttermost. This was the man, these were the means, by which a gen uine and substantial prosperity was brought to the Kingdom.
 l. Jehoshaphats name is linked to Heze- kiah's like Lincoln's to Washington's He Is eminent among those who have ruled their fellows. But there Is blot on his otherwise bright escutch- con. It is the marriage of state which he effected between his son and the daughter of Jezebel By this means he sought to make Jezebel's husband Ahab, king of Israel. his ally. Soon Ahab had Jehoshaphat involved with him in a war against Syria for the re- covery of Ramoth Gilead. and this. too. in spite of the warning of a true prophet.
 Our version makes a tame statement when 1t says "the king returned to his house in peace" What the original says is that he got home whole, and that by a narrow margin; by the skin of his teeth and nothing to spare. There were two klhgs on that neiu of battle, one was taken and the oth- er left. For a while 1t looked as If joth would be taken. The crafty Ahab lad induced Jehoshaphat to wear his
 oval insignia, while he himself went
 ,cognito. The Syrians naturally took
 1e king of Judah for the king of
 rael and were about to kill him when diverted by some exigency of battle.
 The emotions Of the king on his ome-coming may be imagined. The pnignancy of his shame was that 1t was so unnecessary He had gone con t,ary to written law and oral warn ing. and so had given the heather" occasit for rejoIcing. At the gate of

Little Increase Apparent in the Dis tribution of Merchandise, Hut Developments Promise Bet

New York, July 22.-R. G. Dun x Cos weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Encouraging factors predominate Little definite increase is seen in the distribution of merchandise, but de- velopments of the past week promise better things in the near future. The most important influence for good IS the brighter crop reports. For the present the best news comes from the large cities where warm weather has stimulated retail trade in light weight fabrics and jobbers report that orders from agricultural communities are much better than from manufacturing centers. There are still many com plaints of slow collections In the principal manufacturing branches there is still much idle machinery, es- pecially at cotton mills and iron pants, while most window glass producers will not resume until September, Re ports of railway earnings fer July so far show only the small 'osaes of l.5 Del cent. as compared vita the same period last year.

SIR WILLIAM MACGREGOR.
NewfOundland's New Governor Re
 mnrkable Mnn.

Washington Post.
 Sir William Macgregor. who has just been appointed Governor of New foundland, is one of the most remarka- ble men of the British colonial service. both physically and intellectually and indeed, his herculean strength has con tributed in no small degree to impress the savages, over whom he has been called upon to rule in the past. with a sense of the power of the British em- pire.
 No more remarkable illustration of his muscular force can be given than the feat which led the late Queen Victoria to bestow upon him the Albert medal, granted to civilians for extraor- dinary acts of gallantry, which, in the army or navy, would have won the Victoria Cross. In fact, the Albert medal. which Sir William is the only colonial governor to wear. may be looked upon as the civilian counterpart of the Victoria Cross.

The hu- rniltlreG king was asked in hearing of his yanQuished army why he had giv- en the hand of fellowship to the Lords haters, and the question had with it an ominous suggestion of impending punishment.

 It is an entirely indifferent matter whether the Bible is literally introduce ed into the court room or not. The old fnp of hox xHif hn book and swear by it is purely a matter of form. The fact is that the Bible more than any other literature lays stress upon justice and judgment It is the chief buttress of the court. It is the vademecum of the judge.

But as there was no mention in Sir Williams report of his own ser vices, or in fact, of his having been upon the scene at all 1t was not until much later that matter was brought to the attention of the government. and by the latter to the notice of the Queen, who, as stated above, conferred upon him the Albert medal.
 Sir William is a Scotch physician, hailing from Glasgow, and after hold ing for n time the position of resident physician and superintendent of the Royal Lunatic Asylum at Aberdeen, he managed to secure an appointment as chief medical officer at the Seychelles Islands, from whence he was trans ferred in a similar capacity to the Mauritius, and also given control of the government lunatic asylum there. Promoted to the post of chief medical officer of the Fiji Islands. he eventully became governor of the colony and high commissioner for England's pos sessions in the Pacific, taking a very active part in the suppression of "blackbirding"-that is to say, the kid naping of natives for compulsory work on plantations. The "blackbirding" was in those days a regular form of maritime trade of the piratical order, those engaged therein being hunted down by the English authorities like pirates, and Sir William had many ex- citing adventures. both by sea and on land, in connection with his relentless war upon the "blackbirders"
 For seven years he was governor of British New Guinea, where there was plenty of fighting all the time with hostile native tribes and where he may be said to have carried his life in his hands. For the last five years he has been governor of Lagos and high commissioner for the native protecto- rate on the west coast of Africa, where he has shown immense tact and judg- ment in dealing with the natives. His promotion to the governorship of Newfoundland comes to him as a we'll earned reward after so many years spent in tropical climates doing yeo- man service for the British crown.
