Mr.. Runciman testifies that It used
to be a saying among the Turks In
Constantinople that. whenever man
was drunk. It was conclusive proof
he was an Englishman. That re-
minds one Of the story current In Ok
ford some years sgc that in a certain
eastern country the populace would
cry "Oxi Oxl" after an inebriated per-
son-the explanation being that an
august native had brought the habit
home with him as the most visible re-
suit Of his English university training.
There is a phrase Of our own which Is
almost as bad-"as drunk as lord"
Probably that was not intended in
reprobation Of the peerage. but sim
ply expressed the envy Of the
humber Englishmen in less sober
days than those toward q class who
could afford continuing to do what-he
would II he could. London Chronicle.

Human Inequality.

There is a notion. and a most per
nlcious one, that 1t is the highest
realization OF republican form OF gov
ernment that all the people should
by some forcing process be made AZ
much alike as possible. All human
beings are born equal only In the sim
gle fact that they all come into the
wdGld by the same natural process.
rhe same equality exists In the mat.
er of death, since what we call life is
extinguished for all under the self
same conditions. But that is all the
equality that is possible. for humaL
beings are all unlike and unequal In
bodily and mental characteristics,
and to such an extent does this lack
of equality 90 that 1t is seen in the

Prejudice Against Sleep.

There are plenty of sluggards even
among the cultivated class. but the
sleep sluggard is in that class a very
rare specimen. The tendency of the

position to oversieep is obeying a
healthy instinct. Sleep recuperates

The Value of Dead leaves.

According to tests recently made in
France. dead leaves possess higher
value as fertilizers for the land than
ordinary manure. They are extensive,
ly used by the market-gardeners about

the highest in heterogeneous content.
oak leaves come next, and the leaves
Of vines stand lowest In value. Ex-
