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
be used therein, furnished with stuff
and men at all times in readiness for
her majesty's SERVICE" the consump-
ton of fish must be enforced.-London

REAL VALUE OF PLAY.
A Brief Period snatehed From the

ne9uiar Routine AIos Health.
Self Improvement societies that have
tried to find the best way to live have
never discovered anything more valu-
able than play. says Golfers Weekly.
A man may shake up a continent by
his energy or build kingdoms by his

Is concerned he has been a failure IL
he has not learned to play.
Play, Of course. is not confined to

row upon the river. a sail upon the
lake. To some making a garden is play,
as to others is chopping wood To play
is to follow the irresponsible inclina-
ton which gives the most pleasure
with the least mental strain and bodily
wear
Ideal play is a brief period of care
free living snatcbed from the regular
routine. 1t is enjoying the pleasure of
being alive; 1t is absorbing from the
earth and air and sun without con-
scious effort. More and more we are
trying to teach the children how to
play. but we do not know how our
selves. Before us always is the bogy
OF wasting time, and the devil of dis
ease, old age, misery and failure never
invented falser bogy. We send our
children to the public playground and
go on ourselves getting soggy and

Nothing Wasted In China.

The Chinese never waste anything.
A shopman puts up parcels with half
the paper and string used by Euro
peans. Servants collect and sell match
boxes and things which seem to us to
be useless. In the country you will
see boy in a tree beating down q
single leaf with stick for fuel Wo-
men when too old for any work coli
lect dry grass for the same purpose.
A man collects his fowls and then
beats old. damp mats or mating.
Cockroaches and other vermin jump
out, and the fowls have a meal that
costs nothing. You give a coolie an
old coat that you are ashamed to
wear, and he will probably get tailor
to transform it for 30 or 80 cents into
two pairs of excellent trousers for
himself.-Detroit Free Press.

DISRAELI AS A SON.
His Generosity In Becoming Recon-
ciled to His Father.

his generosity In Becoming Recon-
ciled 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
Disraeli's acquaintance to recognize
his great ability, and she saw a great
deal of him when at Mrs. Norton's,
when he was 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 a great ad-
miration for the "Curiosities Of Litera-
ture" and was anxious to make the ac-
quaintance Of Disraeli's father, but
there was a 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 Disraeli turned around
and, looking at his father as if he were
piece of ornamental china, said to
my mother: Madam, I 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"
