which busy men have recourse in or

Very simple is the mnemonical system
of a well-known journalist, who merely
ties a small piece of ribbon round his
walking-stick. Many a benedict has a
penchant for tying his handkerchief
into a series of knots to remind him
of the numerous little domestic duties
he has faithfully promised to perform

to the use of pepper or snuff to jog his

Very effective is the method adopted
by some astute people who place their
finger-rings On their k~ey-rings. By this
means they are not only reminded of
something by the absence of their rings
from their hands, but every time they
use their keys the fact is forced upon
their attention. There is one old gov
eminent clerk who is an amusement to
all the juniors. When he has n mat

TRUANT WORK.

Professor r. l.. Jones, State super
intendent of public instruction in Ten
nessee. will ask the next Legislature
for the appointment of several truant
officers to work along the rivers in this
State. Professor Jones says that along
the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers
there are man grown people whoscan-
not read nor write. and that children
are growing up in ignorance. Recent
inquiry into conditions along these
rivers has brought out remarkable
facts People are living more like wild
animals along these streams, men.
women and children mingling together
without the slightest care or knowledge
of their relations. Many grown wom-
en- have never worn shoes or stockings
and do not seem to have the least de-
sire to better their conditions. Most
of these are engaged in fishing or
working in logging camps and seldom
are seen outside their community.
Such things as books or
rever are seen there. Professor Jones
takes the position that the State has
no right to allow people to live in this
fashion. for they grow up to be dan
gerous citizens. He insists that schools
should be established at every logging
camp and fishing point. and tina off,

LORD FAIRFAX.
How an American Happens to
Assume a Title Abroad,

Il find that so few Americans fully
understand how Albert K. Fairfax can
be a citizen of the United states and at
the same time a Scottish peer said
Colby ). Lamb, of London, England, to
a New York Telegram reporter.
And quite a few very intelligent per-
sons nave talked with have been under
the impression hat he is an English
peer. AS a matter of fact, he is merely
given the right to assume the title of
Lord Fairfax of Cameron. He might
have had the right to a peerage if he
had been a citizen of any other coun-
try on the globe, n his ancestors for
generations might also have been born
in any other country.
On the formation of the United King
dom, which is a comparatively modern
historical event, the Scottish Senate re-
tanned its democratic quality.
"The Scottish members of the House
of Lords are elected at a convention of
titled persons. held at Holyrood. AL
though they are nominalIy elected by
tteir peers these Scottish representa-
tives in the House of Lords are gener-
ally chosen With an eye to the wishes
of the people.
Many Scottish peers are also peers
of the United Kingdom end have a right
to seats in the House. Others have
English titles in addition to their Scotch
titles. Fairfax, however, has no Eng
fish title, is not a peer If the United
Kingdom. and must take his chances
of election to the Lords by his Scottish
peers, who are subject to the influences
and wire pulling of the Powerful ,lemoc-
racy Of Scotland.
1T is a fact that Scotland in many
respects resembles the United States
more closely than does any other part
of the United Kingdom"
