The Power of An Idea.

While thirteen-year-old French girl
was tending her fathers shop in l425 there
came to her the idea that she was born to
restore her king to his throne.
The English kings claimed France by
right of succession, and at that time the
English armies held possession of that
part of the country.
The idea planted in the mind OF this
little girl, known to history as Joan OF
Arc, grew and expanded till it took pos
session of her whole being. By the time
she was seventeen she could resist it no
longer, and sought out her king to tell him
about il and ask permission to fight the
English. She said later, al came on be-
half of our Lord God to save the kingdom
of France. II is for this that ! was born."
Her idea that the king could regain his
possession was so vital that it spread
and took possession of the king himself
and of thousands OF other Frenchmen, as
it had taken control Of her. Although the
king had no money and no army, force
of several thousand men was raised,
equipped, and sent under her command
to assist the people of Orleans, who were
resisting the advance of the English into
the center of France.
Although unframed in military affairs,
loan led the army with such success that
the English were routed and Orleans was
saved. This victory turned the tide of
the hundred years war that had been
beating on the shores of France and
threatening the destruction of the French
nation.
There are no other achievements in hui
man history which can be compared with
the marvellous deeds of this girl. She
was honored for a brief time because Of
them, but was anxious to go back to her
home, to tend her fathers sheep. The
English finally took her prisoner, and
in response to their urging, she was burn
ed at the stake at the age of nineteen.
Joan has lately been canonized by the
Church of Rome, not on account OF her
military achievements, but in recognition
of her sanity character. France has long
regarded her as one ofits greatest nation
al figures, and the world has wondered
that so much could be done through so
weak an instrument.

and Charity.
Bayelock Ellis in his "Soul Of Spain"
has revealed intimately and charming
" the temperament Of the Spanish
people. According to him, the Span
lard is still fundamentally primitive.
In proof Of his possession OF the
primal instincts of hospitality and
charity he quotes the following anec-
dote from an Aragonese newspaper OF
a few years ago, at time when there
was much distress in Aragon:
A laborer out Of work came on the
highroad determined to rob the first
person he met. This was man with
a wagon. The laborer babe him halt
and demanded his money.
Here Is $50, all that / have" the
detained man replied.
There is nothing left for me but
robbery. My family are dying Of hun

and proceeded to put the money In his
pocket, but as he did so his mind
changed.
''Take this, chico" he said, handing
back $50. lone Is enough for me-"

however, the laborer refused.

1t often happens that a

ease, fevers, over-exertion,

the heart. The result is
shortness of breath, pal
