currency of $500 090,0 100 would be obtained.
The provision to retire the per cent.
bonds which now recure 7l2.000,000 of cur

according to information at the White
House. chiefly because no plan had been
perfected TO substitute this amount OF

shaped shanks were usually encased
In thickly quilted green trousers Tor
ward off daggers; that is the descrip-
ton history has left us of King James
!, whom French statesman, Sully,
once characterized as 1.-The wisest fool
in Christendom.' That swift Gallo
summary sticks in memory when al
most everything else about King James
grows dim and dusty.
For. indeed. ones whole impression
of his reign is that it must have been
q tiresome time. England, grown ac-
cnstomed to the bold achievements OF
Elizabethan times, relapsed into a dull

time. to quote Carlyle, of which the
King was Il fit embodiment.
In the first place-and 1t was a
mighty disadvantage in those days
King james was a Scotchman, a mem
Der Of the race which had been steal
ing English cattle and cracking Eng
1ish crowns since shadowy times, and
getting their own cattle stolen and
their own pates thwacked in return.
And he was not at all an imposing
or dignitled figure. In spite of the fact
that his mother was the beautiful and
winsome Mary Queen of Scots, the
King himself was a sad figure of a
man.
Goggle-eyed he was, the men who
knew him wrote. and his tongue was
| too large FOR his mouth, so that when
| he drank he invariably siobbered wine
| from the corners of his mouth. AS a
| child ne had suffered from ricketts,, and
| even at sc, when he came to the throne
| of England, he walked in an indeter-
mined way making big wavery circles
with his feet, and much preferring to
have courtier supporting either arm
| Add to this that he had the mind of a
/ pompous pedagogue, crammed with all
manner of large words and informa-
| ton about theology and other high
brow subjects, and that he firmly be-
i lieved that he was Gods special deputy
sent down to earth to govern England
to his own sweet will, and you can un.
| derstand how in rs years he could dc
| an infinite lot to undermine the STURDY
respect and loyalty Englishmen felt fol
their Sovereign and how he paved thu
| way for his son, Charles, to the heads
i mans block.
Hunting was one of the favorite rec
reations of the King. All the way dowr
from Scotland to England. where ne
| was to be crowned, he hunted along
the way and he let it be known that II
ANNOYED him to have crowds gather to
welcome him, because they scared
away the game. And it is not hard to
imagine how ruffied the crowds must
/ have been at this ungracious response
!! to their enthusiasm. The King spent
/: a considerable part Of his life hunt
ing. and the curious thing is that ne
never learned to ride horse at that.
More than once he was tumbled out Of
his saddle like bundle of dirty
! clothes and had to be helped up again
by courtiers whose lip muscles were
nnder perfect control.

China's New Dietion arv

since the publication OF the Kanghsi

old Chinese characters have assumed

characters which filled the pages of The

a confusion of many dialects,

The announcements of the new dietion-
airy do not state how many characters
are used, but it is likely that the num-
her is much short of the forty thousand

of the ancient language. The young
Chinese have been laboring at reduce

newspapers with only about seven
thousand to eight thousand characters.

Meaning Of Half M asst.

Perhaps you have noticed that when
ever a prominent person dies, especial
ly if he is connected with the govern
ment. the flags on public buildings are
hoisted only part of the way up. This
is called half mast" Did you ever
stop to think what connection there
could be between flag that was not
properly hoisted and the death Of a
great man? Ever since flags were used
in war it has been the custom to have
the flag of the superior or conquerins
nation above that of tho inferior or
vanquished. When an army found It
self hopelessly beaten 1t hauled its flag
down far enough for the flag Of the VIC
tors to be placed above it on the same
pole. This was token, not only OF
submission. but of respect. In those
days. when a famous soldier died,
flags were lowered out of respect ca
his memory. The custom long age
passed from purely military usage to
public life of all kinds. the flag flying
at half-mast being a sign that the dead
man was worthy of universal respect.
The space left above it Is for the flag
of the great conqueror of all-.he angel
of death.-London Tit Bits
