If the earth seems full of glory
AS His purposes unfold,
There is vet better country

Not long ago great NUMBER OF
table legs were unioaded on a wharf
at Alexandria, consigned to an interior
point. In unloading the legs into a
Nile skiff, a stevedore CHANGED to
break one in two. Before long he was
dancing about. stretching his arms
over his head, lifting his feet as high
as his waist with every step, and NUT"
tering: Let me have hell. too. l

my domain include hell also?" On

Fishermen Best Sailors.

The French fisheries, with head
quarters at St. Pierre and Miquelon,
have been carried on under the boun-
ty system since the year 1916. The
reasons given why a bounty should be
allowed are that the fisheries form
a nursery for the navy, and thus the
government is enabled to secure men
foE. that branch of the service who
are not only familiar with the sea,
but who, from experience in their
business, are quick to think and act

ing that fishermen make the best

circumstance does not seem to have BIZ
ased his judgment in the forming of his
opinions. The case is certainly stated

to be not all on the part of the Gentle

ged with having brought much Of the
trouble to his people by manifest short

The. treatment given the subject is his
torical. In successive chapters the re-

traced from the earliest times. Perhaps
the reader will be most surprised to
