This Is My 89M Birthday
EARL NELSON.

Earl Nelson, who Is known as the
Father" of the House of Lords-that
is to say, its oldest member-was born
at Brickworth Park, near Salisbury
England, August 7, 1892. He is a son
of the second Earl Nelson and grand
nephew of the famous Lord Nelson
the hero of Trafalgar. Through the
death of his father he succeeded to the
title while he was still a schoolboy at
Elton. He completed his education at
Cambridge and at the age of twenty
two was married to a daughter of the
Earl of Normantown. Lord Nelson
took his seat in the House of Lords in
1S45 and for upwards of 60 years he
has continued to take an active inter
est in public affairs. He is the holder
of one of the only two perpetual pen
sions in existence in England, the hol-
der of the other one being Lord Rod
ney, a descendant of the celebrated
Admiral Sir George Rodney.

Roasting an Egg.

Every boy and girl down on the farm
in times gone by used to roast eggs.
pieces Of meat and potatoes in embers
In the old wood cook stove or In the
big open fireplace. Barns were search
ed for hens nests. and the fine. fresh
eggs were wrapped in heavy paper
The paper was dampened. and several
thicknesses of 1t protected the eggs
from scorching. You know, wet pa
per In ball Is hard to burn. Well.
the wrapped up eggs were put on the
live Goals and partially covered by
them. In from Eve to fifteen minutes
the egg was roasting hot and ready to
eat with salt, pepper and butter. A
pin hole was made in the big end of
the egg so as to let the steam escape
to keep 1t from bursting the shell and
the meats from running out. II you
have never as a small boy roasted such
eggs you have missed one OF child
hoods greatest joys-New York Press,

cling to the Novice.
Most every one in America is &C.
quainted with the goldfinch. but many
people know the bird by the name of
lettuce bird on account of it's bright
yellow color. Goldfinch is a very ap-
propriate name. as the bright yellow
of the male when he is in breeding
plumage is like FURNISHED gold. The
female goldfinch is more modestly
dressed than her mate. The changes
in plumaSe of the male are very inter-
esting and to the novice somewhat puZ-
zling
Until the student becomes acquainted
with the bird he may wonder why be
sees no males during the winter. The
truth is at this season the tiocks of sup
posed female goldfnches are really of
both sexes. the male bird having as
sumed in the previous fall. usually
by the end of October. plumage close
ly resembling that of the female and
young bird of the year. The male re-
tains this inconspicuous dress until
late in February, when one can notice
gradual change taking place in some
of the birds.
This renewal of feathers is actively
continued through March and April.
and by May l our Respondent bird is
with US again. The song period with
the male goldfinch continues as long as
he wears his gold and black livery. for
it commences as early rs the middle of
March and ends late in August.

HENRY BELLS COMET.
The First Steamer That Piled For Hire
In Great Britain.

Among the curiosities Of advertising
may surely be placed the first adver-
tisement of the first steamer that piled
for hire in Great Britain-namely.
Henry Bells Comet. Thus ran the adj
vertisement in the Glasgow Courier of
1912:
Steam passage boat, the Comet. be-
tween Glasgow. Greenock and Heiens-
burg. For passengers only. The sub
scriber having at much expense fitted
up handsome vessel to ply upon the
river Clyde between Glasgow and
Greenock-to sail by the power Of
wind, air and steam-he intends that
the vessel shall leave the Broomielaw
on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur-
days about midday or at such time
thereafter as may answer from the
state of the tide and to sleave Green
ock on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri
days in the morning to suit the tide.
The elegance. comfort, safety and
speed of this vessel require only to be
proved to meet the appreciation of
the public. and the proprietor is de-
termined to do everything in his power
to merit public encouragement. The
terms are for the present 4 shillings
for the best cabin and 3 shillings for
the second, but beyond these rates
nothing is to be allowed to servants or
any other person employed about the
vessel"
What would poor neglected Henry
Bell have said could he ha,ye seen his
humble little Comet. of whose ele
gance comfort and speed he was sc
proud, alongside a modern ocean
racer or one of the latest palatiaI river
steamers of the Clyde or Thames. al

Eton and Harrow.

One of the Elton and Harrow school
cricket matches recalls an amusing in
cident Elton had monotonous Sc
ries of wins for some years. and one
day the Harrow captain received the
following:
o We boys of Harrow school,
OF cricket ye have no knowledge!
1t Is not cricket, but the fool.
You play against Elton college.
The Harrow school poet was hunted
out and commanded to send a fitting
reply. This clever response made him
famous:
If you say. we play the fool.
No wonder We were beaten,
For at that game no other school
Could eer compete with Elton.
