In OLD norman FRENCH
English Kings Approval to Acts OF
Parliament Still Quantity Phrased
in Language Of Old Times.

Then the clerk of the crown
standing TO the left of the commits
sioners bows to them and reads the
title of the first bill.
The clerk of the parliament on
the other side bows to the commits
sioners and then to the speaker and
announces in the old Norman
French phrase: "Le Roy lie v%cult,"
or the king wills it, and what was
before ii bill has now become an act
of parliament and the law of the
land. The same ceremony is re-
peated with every bill on the list.
In the case of a bill granting
supplies or money to the sovereign
the phrase employed is: "Le Roy
remercic scs bons s%ujcts, accepte
leur bcncvolence, ct ainsi lcur
%veult.' that is, the king thanks his
good subjects, accepts their bounty,
and so wills it.
If it is Il private bill. that is, a
bill to grant additional powers to
a railway or gas or other similar
company, the phrase used is: ''Soit
fat CONNIE il est desire" or be it
done as it is desired.
When the king withholds assent
it is by the simple words lie Roy
s'aviscra," or the king will con-
slider.
The use of Norman French takes
the England of to-day back four or
five centuries. Cromwell, that stout
old iconoclast for whom traditions
had no tcrrorS, who called the mace,
that sacred symbol of the speaker,
authority. "a bauble," and ordered
it thrown out of the house, gave his
assent to bills in English. and in
10, a bill passed the house of lords
and was well on its way to passage
in the house Of commons requiring
English to be used for the royal as
sent, when a dissolution of parlia-
mcnt interviewed.
From that day to this nc attempt
has been made to restore the mother
tongue.--Applcton's Magazine.

GOOD MAN TO LEAVE ALONE.

We have noticed that the man
whose only comment as he reads the
paper is n kick on the things he
does not like is the same one who
"kicks" on his friends; thinks the
town he lives in is the dullest on
earth; complains because it rains
too much or does not rain enough;
thinks the weather is too hot or too
cold. It. is no use to discuss any
thing in the world with a man of
that kind. The only sensible thing
10 do is TO give him time to think by
letting him alone. - Atchison
fKan.l Globe.

TRUE SUCCESS.

The longer | live the less | think
and fear about what the world calls
success; the more | tremble for true
success, for the perfection and beau
ty of the inner life, for the purity
and sanctity of the soul, which is
as a temple. As ! grow Older /
feel the need of getting at the root
of the matter-of being sure Of the
nearness of God, of being free from
all the mistincss and doubts, and Of
throwing the increasing cares of life
on him-Samuel Chapman Arm

WAKING" THE WRONG CORPSE.

An extraordinary blunder in con-
n~ection with the Identification of a
corpse WIS brought to light at an
Irish wake" in the little village Of
Chapelizod. near Dublin. recently.
An o%ctogcnarian yillagcr became Sc
i'll that his relatives had to remove
him to one of the Dublin hospitals.
Shortly after news reached them
of his death, and they at once put
the house in order in preparation
for the wake" In the evening the
BODY arrived. The coffin seemed I'M
duly bulky and heavy, for the viii
lager was only II small man, but no
one suspected that a mistake had
been made. The wake" took place,
lasting through the night. Toward
the end n relative expressed "A desire
to sec the dead man. The coffin lid
was raised, and then those around
il were Mortified to find that they
had been waking a stranger.
There was great excitement, and
hurried telephone messages to the
hospital, where the body Of the rela-
tive was still lying. In due course
matters were righted. - London

Comrade of Old,

Comrade of old. come pack TO me.
The careless youth you used TO be;
Come back and Danish for awhile
Your frowns and let those stern lips
smile:
Well jaunt the aisles Of memory
Come back; the meadow winds blow free,
And. with the brook that threads the lea,
They call you from your long exile,
Comrade of old.
Here by the pond the willow tree
Becks with Its arms alluringly:
Come back-a truce to court and trial
Dof for a week the frock and tile
And come. the boy we long to see.

Stock Market Nervous
and Weak Today
The READING The CAUSE
YESTERDAYS STOCK FURRY
CONTINUED TODAY AND BRoK-
ERs ARE UNABLE TO SOLVE
THE MYSTERY OF THE DIS
TURBANcE ON THE READING.

New YORK, March There was
continued excitement and disorder in
the early stock market today as an
after effect of the turmoil Of yesterday.
The opening movement of prices i'm
dicated that the bear party had re-
covered from the Generalization
caused by the unexpected report yes
terday that the control of the Reading
had ceased.
A vigorous onslaught on the prices
was made at the start, The Reading
itself relapsed three points from last
nights closing price and the Canadian
Pacific dropped over three points on
the renewal of yesterdays weakness.
There were a number Of declines OF
/ to l " among the most active specu-
lative stocks. An immediate rally
followed and the nervous and unsettled
state Of the market was shown in the
frequent fluctuation and the great ac-
tivity of trading.
The failure TO clear up the mystery
surrounding the Reading was the an
settling influence. The Identity of the
buyers and their motives remained in
doubt
