Wilson's subject was 1.-THE Law and

DR.. Wilson indicated his attitude
toward business. Business Is no

great companies-by great corpora

Of society, and which are themselves,
as it were, little settlements of So

Business must be looked upon not
as the exploitation of society, not as
its use for private things, but as it's
sober service; and private profits
must be regarded as legitimate only
when it is, in fact, reward for what
is vertically erviceable-serviceab

Rock and Gull.

The rock appears to have become
the bird whose name stands for swim
dlers in distinctly unfair way, the
London Chronicle says. At first ''rook"
meant dupe, then the verb Ito rock"
came to mean to cheat, and out Of
this was evolved ''rook," cheater-a
complete topsy turvy process. 1t is
curious that the same thing has not
happened to gull Here also the
verb came from the substantive mean
ing a dupe, and, as the gull strikes
one as rather a knowing bird, one
might have expected the same evolu-
ton as in the case Of the rock. 1t
should be observed, however, that
gull" dupe. did not refer specially
to the seagull, the word having for
merly meant a young bird Of any
kind. In Elizabethan English it signi-
fed callow youngster who wished
to be thought smart.

Lion Siuns In Email ID.

In the middle ages the country
houses of the nobility in England when
the owners were absent were used as
hostels for travellers. The family arms
always hung in front Of the house
and gave it a popular name among
travellers, who called lion ''gules" or
azure simply ''red" or blue" AS these
mere limitations Of good cheer and
entertainment innkeepers adopted the
idea. Lions have always been and are
now very favorite signs in England
lions white, black, red, brown, golden.
yellow-red being the most common.
Probably the Red Lion originated with
the badge of John Of Gaunt, duke of
Lancaster, who married the daughter
Of Don Pedro, king of Leon and Cas-
tile, and who adopted the lion ram
pant gules of Leon to represent his
claim to the throne. Under Richard
and John lions became the settled
arms of England and were generally
used by those who could find any
claim.

READING For the Sick.

sand now a word about patients who
NAV feel like reading" said the house
physician to the nurse. When they
ask for something to read be sure to
give them continued stories-always
continued stories"
"Is that wiser" she ventured to re-
monstrate. Wont the excitement
over what Is going to happen in the
next number have a bad effect?"
"No. Even If 1t does it will be coun-
teracted by the encouragement Sick
people have queer fancies. One OF the
queerest pertains to literature. Feed
a patients mind with nothing but short
stories and he will certainly get into
his head that he is going to die so
soon that it isn't worth while to start
him on a long one, and he will droop
accordingly. But give him only yarns
Of the to-be-continued-in -our-next va
riety and he will take it for granted
that you expect him to get well so he
can finish the story, and he will perk
up amazingly. Just try it"
The nurse did try it and found that
the doctors theory was built on sure
foundation.-New York Times.

Literary Cure For Snorino.

To the snorers who ask for the cure
let the cause be announced. Snoring
is the result Of stomachic repletion and
mental vacuity. A correspondent who
has suffered from both prescribes the
cure-a light supper or none, to
avoid repletion, and the frequent repe
tition of some literary phrase to pro-
vide occupation for the mind during
sleeping hours. Go to bed and think
of some short literary phrase to occu-
py your mind. The combination of the
two prescriptions against snoring-the
abstention from food and the medita-
ton upon a literary phrase-may be
found in Ecclesiasticus, the ninetieth
verse of the thirty-frst chapter, "How
sufficient to well hammered man is
very little, and he doth not breathe
hard upon his bed."-London Specta-
tor.

NIAGARA to Have Race MEETING,

The Niagara Falls Racing associa-

meeting at Niagara Falls on July 10
and continue until July II. This is the
new Canadian race course recently put
in operation by several influential Ca
nadians on the Canadian side of Mag
ara Falls.
For the first meeting no purse will
be offered Of less than $500, and handi-
caps will have from $500 to $500 add
ed, and there will be six or seven races
each day.
The promoters have built a new
grand stand seating $500 persons, and
new stables have been erected that
will accommodate 200 horses. While
the track is at present only half mile,
it will be increased to a mile or a mile
and furlong before the opening of the
second meeting.

Dead Mems Teeth.

Before artificial teeth were created
deficiencies had to be made good by
the real article, so body snatchers raw
aged the cemeteries at night, breaking
up the jaws of the dead to extract
their teeth to sell to dentists for inser-
ton in live mems mouths. An army of
these ghouls followed Wellington's
army. They were licensed as suffers,
but once night fell out came their nip
pers and they prowled over the battle
field extracting the teeth Of the dead

Foot Fault Tennis Rule.

English tennis experts say that a
majority of the violations of the foot
fault rule has been caused by the
American service. How far the state
ment is true cannot be known, but it
is certain that little or no heed is paid
to foot fault here. One can go to a
tournament every day in the week, and
only in very rare cases will anybody
hear the umpire call foot fault. The
enforcement of this rule is something
avoided by all umpires, for it is the
last thing any player wants to have
called against him.

academy has ever promised better
tn does that of 1912. and the chief
question will be how to arrange for all

bilities. 1t also Is likely that the acad-
