her, they mistook the usher at the
door Of the foreign minister's office
for NJ. de Selves himself As they
were brought into the antcroom the
usher was standing with his hands on
the door handle ready to announce
them. But at the sight Of his silver
chain his medals. his sword, his gold
topped cane and his three cornered

low repeatedly. they approached him
slowly aud with great respect until
they were within reach Of his coattails,

in their hands and kissed. The usher
did not know what to do, but the ap-
pearance of the minister relieved the
situation.

Very carefully inelosed and suardc l
nre the 900 remaining cedars Of Lc5-
anon, those famous trees tlat once
clothed all the sides OF The Syrian
mountains. SO tall and beautiful were
they In comparison with the trees OF
Palestine that the Hebrew writer's eel
ebrated them with extraordinary
praise. and from the earliest times
their soft white wood was the glory
OF Jewish architecture. They were
used III solomon's temple and in its
successor and also in the church that
Constantine built at Jerusalem.
The surviving trees are called by the
Arabs the trees Of God" and under
their widespreading branches ths cier-
gy Of the Greek church occasionally
celebrate mass.
Several Of the trees in the grove are
over 1900 years old and have n height
of 100 feet and circumference Of 80.
In appearance they more resemble the
aged larch or the majestic oak than
the cedar that is known in America

Since the general Introduction Of
electricity into the cities it has been
known that it was possible to secure
a very considerable shock through a
stream Of water, and tiremen in all
large cities are on the lookout for this.
Wires which look as if they might con-
duct heavy currents are cut before a
stream of water is thrown in their d.

of an electric railway in South Africa
1t was noticed that column of steam
from a locomotive could be the means
of conveying the current, and several
workmen were shocked in this man

Some one has said that animals have
a hair trigger constitution, says Orison
SWEET Marden in Success Magazine.
They go off on the slightest provoca-
ton, because they act from impulse.
They do not know how to control
themselves. The animal instinct dom
mates.
Self control is the first condition Of
all achievement. 1t is said that the
first sign of insanity is the loss of self
control. When a person is no longer
the master of his own acts he is not
only in danger. but any degree Of
achievement IS impossible to him.
Every thought tends to result in an
act, SO that thought always leads. The
mental attitude at any moment is the
pattern which the life processes
weave The lives Of many of US are
grotesque crazy quilts.

whole question has been reopened and
the kings strong desire to consolidate
the imperial sentiment in all parts of
the empire has had an unexpected
iillip from his coronation and past cor

Sir Wilfrid Laurier and other Cana
dian statesmen, when here for the
coronation are understood to have
urged him to come back by way of the
dominion. They pointed that, though
as prince of Wales he was in Canada
there as king would have particu'
larly stimulating effect in loyalist
quarters and would serve to check
"any undertow of annexation and pro
American sentiment.
