DIsRAELl AS A SON.
His Generosity In Becoming Recon-
cilod to His Father.

His Generosity In Becoming Recon-
cilod to His Father.
Lord Dufferin used to tell the follow
ing story about his mother and Dis
raeli:
My mother was among the first Of
Disrneli's acquaintances to recognize
his great ability. and she saw a great
deal Of him when at Mrs. Norton's.
when he was a young man about town.
She did not see very much Of him after
he had once entered upon his political
career Here, however. is little anec-
dote which is very characteristic and
amusing. My mother had great ad-
iniratlon for the "curiosities Of Litera-
ture" and was anxious to make the ac-
qualntance Of Disraeli's father, but
there was difficulty about this, as at
the moment he was not on good terms
with his father.
However. he appeared one day with
his father in tow. As soon as they
were both seated Disraen turned around
and. looking at his father as If he were
piece Of ornamental china. said to
my mother: Madam, have brought
you my father. | have become recon
ciled to my father on two conditions
The first was that he should come to
see you and the second that he should
pay my debts"

TONE UP The BODY.
II VIII Help to Fortify Your System
Aaainst Serious illness.

II viii Help to Fortify Your System
Against Serious illness.
There is a saying. much wiser and
cheaper than 1t seems at first glance.
to the effect that ''you won't get sick
II you keep we'll" 1t Is half jesting
way Of setting forth profound truth.
The risks and exposures Of life are
so many and SO insidlous that they
cannot be escaped The only hope Of
passing through them unharmed is to
keep the body so strong and sound
that 1t can defend itself against the
diseases which are constantly lying in
wait for the unguarded and the weak
1t is a mere commonplace TO say
that one man will take exactly tue
same course and face precisely the
same risks that another man finds
fatal and go entirely unscathed- Some
times II is a difference born In the two
organisms. but often 1t is the result
OF different living and different condi-
tions in respect to strength and health
If the body is maintained at high
state OF efficiency and If care is taken
to overcome and correct the little dis.
orders and signs OF trouble as soon as
they appear there is not much danger
Of a serious illness. The small pre-
cautions and the constant toning up Of
the body by exercise, fresh air, sem
sible eating and drinking and Austen
tion from all exeesses and follies ward
OF prolonged and often desperate
struggles against disease.
It is the principle of the old adage.
"a stitch in time saves nine" The
same rule applies to the care Of health.

The house Of lords was composed
chiefly of elerics until the time Of Ed
ward III. Thus in 1905 the peers were
ninety spiritual and forty-nine lay

and priors and three masters Of or
ders. Many clerical dignitarles sum

The connection between fish eating
during Lent and strong navy may
appear remote. but to Elizabethan
statesmen it seemed very real and vi
tai. SO much so that every one should
eat fish on every day Of Lent. as well
as on certain appointed days through
out the year. under penalty Of heavy
fine. And the reasons set forth for this
enactment made no mention Of reli
gious observance. 1t was simply stated
that the queen needed ships for the
defense of the realm. and as not only
was the fishing industry the chiefest
nurse for the bringing up of youth for
shipping but great numbers Of ships
