Mr.. Lloyd George is an ingenious and
successful financier, but he lacks the I'M
agination and the genius Of Gladstone
or Disraeli. 1t is fine thing to be
able to report surplus of more than
$50, 100000, but il must seem TO tho
British taxpayer a disappointing anti
climax TO say that that sum will simply
be held in the treasury to await contiIl-
ccncies. Disraeli would have used t
for some dazzling purchase or for can
ceiling a block of the public debt and
thus sending up the price of consols.
while Gladstone might have cheered the
taxpayers heart by knocking few
pence off the income tax. Still, Mr..
Lloyd Georges method may be the most
prudent.

Indispensable to enable one to detect

AS with birds and their songs, much
of the charm and pleasure to be got

emotional coloring associated with it
We are enraptured with the notes OF
the pewee in spring, or the earliest
piping of the frogs, not because these
| sounds in themselves possess any in
trinsic sweetness, but because they
recall endearing memories of many
happy, hopeful springtimes. They are
always the harbingers OF another yer
dant season Their plaintive notes
add to our minds an emotional warmth
and sunshine. They awaken for III
an inner, subjective springtime.
In a similar way the crickets ant
katydids gladden. and inspire us will
their music in proportion as thel
notes have become associated In on

PET AVERSION OF THE SAILOR
Stormy Petrol Is Regarded with Dis
favor by Even the Most Stout
Hearted Seamen.

There are few persons who have
crossed the ocean that have not OBJ
served the stormy petrol skimmlng
along the surface Of the water. They
fit past the vessel like swallows, tax
ing their scanty portion of food from
the waves.
Habited IN black and making their
appearance generally in larger num-
bers just previous to, or during,
storm, they have long been regarded
h the superstitious not only as fore
boding messengers, but as agents IN
some way responsible for bad
weather.
Nobody can tell where they come
| from or where they breed. Sailors as
sert they hatch the egg under the wins
and rear the young on pieces OF hot
sam. That mysterious origin has CIV
en- rise to an opinion prevalent amonl
mariners that they are in some wa,
connected with the supernatural ager

They are variously known a
