At BIRTHPLACE OF DICKENS
Almost a Shrine, Where Many Of the
Hurryins Crowds Pause to
Do Reverence.

A great signboard partly covers the
little house where Charles Dickens
was born. Charles Dickens Birth

world entering old Portsmouth pauses
to look at IL. The street, Commercial

In the spring Of 1912 We picture Mrs.
John Dickens, wife OF the humble
clerk in the navy pay office, bringing
her baby boy-her first son--to the
small windows for glimpse OF the
London stage coach bound for the
Portsmouth dockyard. Little did the
tired mother think as she held him

OF What Use Are We7

We sometimes wonder OF what use
we are, and why we are put on earth
One day is added to another and we
seem to be no farther advanced on
the pathway of our lives As Mark
Twain would have put 1t, we do not
appear to be gaining on the scenery.
Yet there is room in the world, and
need in the world, for each and every
one of us, and therefore, we must keep
on going to the end Emerson has a
poem In which the squirrel talks to
the mountain says: III cannot carry
forests on my back neither can you
rack nut" You can do something
nobody else can do; namely, live your
life. You have your chance, II you
will only take II, and | have mine II
we can do nothing else we can at least
be some ones friend, and there is
nothing that the world more keenly
wants and more sadly needs.-Ladies'

Herodotus a Muckraker.

Such as believe the tales of the
Egyptians credible are free to accept
them for history. For my own part. I
propose to myself throughout my
whole work faithfully to record the
traditions Of the several nations.
The Egyptians maintain that Ceres and
Bacchus preside in the realms below.
They were also the first to breach the
opinion that the soul Of man is i'm
mortal, and that when the body dies
1t enters into the form of an animal
which is born at the moment, thence
passing on from one animal into an
other until 1t has circled through the
forms of all the creatures which tenant
the earth, the water and the air; after
which 1t enters again a human frame,
and is born anew The whole period

Dressed Chicken,

She wanted to surprise her husband
with chicken dinner, but after she
had gone out into their little chicken
run and captured a toothsome-looking
young rooster there, she lost her nerve.
She simply couldn't bear to hand It
the axe. There was small bottle of
chloroform in the house, however, so
she decided to prepare his roostership
for the oven via the anaesthesia route.
He succumbed quickly, but to her
horror he recovered consciousness as
soon as she had finished plucking
him. Stricken with remorse then, she

supported by numbers of loose rat

pierced and distended to carry long
tubes of silver or rolls of red cloth,
and their faces are coarsened by

They are hospitable to people, these
Kachins, offering a welcome TO any
