CIV towards q vanQuished enemy, the
using moderation in the greatest pros
perity, and the fearing to offend the
gods, by a naughty and insolent pride.
With regard to myself, death would be
less grievous to me, than the sight Of
so horried an injustice committed by
my countrymen and fellow-citizens."
-Diod. l. Kill, p. 149.
One of the most skilful and obsti-
nate Of all the ancient Danish leaders
was called Hastings. Like his coun-
trymen he was fierce, and SO brave as
to be fond Of danger. The ships In
which his followers had invaded
France, and afterwards invaded Eng
land, were their homes. Battles were
their Joy, and quiet was painful to
them. During three years Hastings
kept the south Of England, and the
and the Severn, in a continual state Of
terror and warfare. Twice King AL
fred took his wife and sons; the first
time he caused the boys to be baptiz-
ed, and sent them back to their father,
who promised to leave England. But
these Danes or Mortimer despised all
faith with an enemy; they lived only
to fight; fierceness they thought vir-
tue, and the only virtue worthy OF
reverence. Again Alfred's thames or
noblemen took all the family Of this
northern pirate or 4. sea-robber-and
again the king delivered them up un-
der promises that Hastings would
leave England, which promises he new
er fulfilled. At last finding that King
Alfred never left him one moment un-
watched, but followed him and fought
with him wherever he went, Hastings
determined to leave England with his
defeated and lessened army. He re-
solved however, In the first place. to
attack the eastern coast OF the coun-
try by sea, and to pillage 1t. ~ a
But Alfred knew that the best way
Of defending England from the Danes
was to prevent them from landing, and
to attack and destroy them in their
ships. He therefore had vessels built
larger than those used In England be-
fore his time, They would certainly
be thought poor ships now. for they
were more like light sloops with many
oars. Until Alfred's, reign the kings
of England had no feet, but Alfred
used these ships, as the fleet Is now
used in the time Of war, to watch the
shore and prevent enemies from com =
ing near It. Alfred's feet pursued
Hastings, and after long fight, with
the aid of tempest, scattered his ves-
sells; and this Dane went over to
France, never again to disturb Eng
land by his cruelty and rapine.-His-
torical Pictures.

An Ancient Spanish Lishthouse.-At
La Coruna, in northern Spain, may be
seen a FIRE tower, which is. with the
exception OF the ruins Of the Roman
lighthouse at Dover, the oldest of all
existing structures of the kind.
The exact date Of the erection OF this
tower Is unknown. According to an
ancient tradition 1t is accredited TO
Hercules, whence its name Tore de
Hercules. Others say that Phoenici-
ans. who had established several col
onies In Spain, had erected this light
tower for their northland cruises. How
ever, judging from the inscription, II
Is more probable that the Roman EN-
peror Trajan erected this structure.
The inscription also mentions the
name of Servius Supus OF Lusitania
as the architect. The tower Is built OF
ashlars and is twenty-seven feet
square and 12O feet in height 1t has
six separate stories which can only be
reached by a circular staircase around
the exterior Of the tower. The light
house was restored in 1884 but at the
end Of the eighteenth century was
again In ruins. In 1897 1t was rebuilt
by the Spanish government.-TheA Ar

Adding Insult to lnjury.-Capt.
Amundsen, in a lecture at Madison,
Wis, told Of the hardships, especially
the hardships of hunger, attendant on
arctic expeditions.
And 1t is an unfortunate fact" said
the discoverer Of the South Pole, that
hunger is always accompanied by q
vivid remembrance of the most delec-
table food one has ever eaten. While
compelled to live for six months on
one months provisions, helped out
perhaps, by little seal meat and seal
blubber, you are tormented by visions
Of former banquets, Christmas dinners
at home, certain favorite dishes. Yes
If you are hungry. the thought of fine
food is exquisite torture. g.. .As,r

MEMORY A MATTER OF HABIT
Lack Of It Largely Due to a Spirit Of
Ill Lazineas.

Memory, according to psychologists,
Is a good deal a matter Of habit, and
lack Of It arises largely from a special
kind Of laziness, says the Bellman. We
see the truth Of this when we observe
the prodigious memories Of some OF
the men Of letters q century ago, and
then compare their education with the
system Of teaching which now pre-
walls. When we wonder at their abil-
ity to quote offhand at almost any
length, we must remember that from
their earliest days they were taught to
memorize. They had to learn things
by heart, and learn them exactly, with
the result that in childhood they
formed, perforce, the habit of re-
membering with absolute precision.
What we need nowadays Is sort
Of mental training analogous to the
older schooling. Let US by all means
keep our filing cases and memoran-
dunn pads. but let us at the same time
keep our memories active by making
them work. The simple process OF
committing poetry to memory, futile
as it may seem, is one Of the most use
full kinds Of intellectual exercises. And
II we do not before long make general
use of some such stimulus, 1t begins
to look as though our memories would
join our appendices as now useless
relics Of an earlier stage Of existence.

EGGS AT EASTER
Formerly Counted as Flesh and De-
Mad Durino lent.


Washington GLADDEN., writing about
the history Of Easter, shows how eggs
have been connected with Easter from
the earliest days. Doctor Gladden's
explanation of the origin OF the GUS
tom of using eggs on Easter follows:
Probably the fact that the egg
holds shut up within itself, the ele-
ments Of future life-a life which may
long be dormant and then come forth
into vigor and beauty, also conscious
ness and activity-made 1t a proper
symbol Of the Resurrection. But Of all
the millions who have decorated eggs
at the Easter season or played with
them as pretty toy, or fed upon them
as delicacy, very few have ever
stopped to reflect upon the profound
meaning Of the emblem. In my own
boyhood q breakfast Of eggs was one
Of the unwritten regulations Of Eas-
ter Sunday; the main question with
the boys was the number per capita
that could be consumed.
Among US there was none of that
dainty decoration with dyes and pig
ments which has given 80 much pleas
uure in old times and new. This fash
lon, in the opinion Of an old writer,
arose among the Christians from the
Joy occasioned by their returning to
their favorite food after so long an abb
stinence from them during Lent This
Is not impossible, for the egg was for
merly counted as flesh and denied to
good Christians during the Lenten
season." .'... .'''.- .~-.
