PINE KNOTS.
Southern Product for which the Roosevelt

Retreat I'm virginia II Named.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-"Pine Knot the
name Of President Roosevelt's retreat In
Virginia. has a significance Of its own when
associated with the environments OF the
genuine article in the yellow pine districts
Of the South.
The President Is not quite far enough
South to enjoy the true pitch pine aroma
from a blazing pine knot fire, for the pine
knot is really not indigenous to the soil
OF the Old Dominion. The growth Of pine
knots, that is the real thing, the pine knot
which is saturated with turpentine and
gives a great white blaze quickly when
ignited, begins with the North Carolina
coast, and is coextensive with the growth
Of the long leaf or yellow pine.
Any other pine knot Is a AXE Theirs
may be limitations down In Albemarle
county, Virginia. but not the genuine brand
that is used in the rural districts Of the
south Atlantic and Gulf States for various
and sundry purposes.
The President could not have selected a
more appropriate name for his country home
IL a real verdant, rural significance Is to be
considered.
All over the hills and pine woods Of the
Southern States are found pine knot Of
all sizes and shapes. From them turpen-

be seen around ready for use when the
weather becomes a little cold, and there Ia
a crackle of coziness in the blazing pine

ration Is made to satiate the keen appetite
Of the hunters. In the meantime roasted
peanuts and sugar cane are passed around

the real significance of the name pine knot

We nave dwelt at length on that part OF
Lord Durham's life which preceded his
mission to Canada, in order that his COM
petenoe to solve the urgent and momentous
problem there presented might be better
appreciated and also because the leading
part which he took in framing the first
Reform act has been imperfectly recoe-
nized by posterity. A few facts remain 10

the Atlantic. In 1895 the Melbourne Cabinet

Durham's service during the Reform
crisis had been performed under the strain
OF i'll health and cruel blows Of personal
bereavement. We have seen that the death
Of his eldest son had occurred in the autumn
Of 1881. In the following year, during
the final stages Of the Reform bill, he lost
his mother and a young daughter. Change
OF scene became imperative IL he was TO
recover his own health. but even in the
midst Of his grief he had no wish to escape
from political responsibility. II was at
this juncture that his colleague, Lord
Palmerston. asked him TO undertake a
temporary mission to St. Petersburg. He
accepted, and there is no doubt that his
discharge OF the mission contributed not
a little to preserve the peace OF Europe.
IL paved the way for an understanding
between England and Russia which was
to last nearly a quarter Of a century. Al
though Durham's reputation AZ a Radical
had preceded him and had aroused strong
prejudice against him. he o golden

Lambton's long minority ended in the
spring Of 1913 and he then came into pos
session of Lambton Castle, a great landed
estate and extensive collieries. Later in
the same year, a vacancy occurring in the
representation of the county of Durham,
LambtOn stood for ths seat and was elected.
FROM that time To his elevation to the peer
age in 1923 he continued to represent the
county Of Durham lin the House Of Commons
From the outset Of his parliamentary
career Lambton made a deep impression
on all classes in the North of England.
He entered Parliament during one Of the
most r~eactionary periods in English his

following Waterloo. His first speech in
the House OF Commons struck the keynote

SOME NEW o


A task that should nave been performed
long ago has at last been undertaken and
well carried out in the volumes entitled
Life and Letters OF The First Earl OF Durham
6ongmans). The b~iographer, Mr.. STUART
J.. REID, is known TO many American d
as the author of The Life and Times OF
Sydney Smith" and a life OF Lord o h
Russell" He tells us in a preface that for
many years il mas been the dream OF his
life to do justice TO the character and work
81 Lord Durham. That the opportunity
should nave been reserved so long seems
strange when we recall the attractive quail
ties of the man and the memorable part
which he played at more than one great
crisis in the political annals of the British
Empire. The fact remains that no biog-
raphy of him has ever been written, though
he died as far back as 1870, n was never
more conspicuous before the world han IN
the closing years of his short but
life. IL is true that a little volume, COM
piled by a Glasgow publisher. but made up
almost exclusively OF Lord Durham's poll
teal speeches, was printed in 1885. This
slight ephemeral tribute. however, was full
Of ~disfiguIing errors.
How has it come to pass that the record
OF no public man in nineteenth century
England has suffered such undeserved
neglect as hat OF Lord Durham The tardy
recognition of the value Of those services
was expressed not long ago by Sir William
Butler, who, when discussing the problem
of government in South Africa, declared
that although Lord Durham's authority
lasted but a few months he did more in
the making of Canadian laying the foun-
dation Of tho Dominion's present state OF
prosperity and happiness-than had been
achieved by ell the Governors and Govern
ments of seventy years before him"

cleared about 3 O'Clock in the after
