and the Lord of it, should his am
bifion exceed hi. gra itu4e, could
weaken the power OF the King and
perchancc overthrow him und seize
the Kingdom.
Finally the choice lay between
two Knights, wise and ST. ong. Bn'
the King was sore perpl xed to find
test for their loyalty.
One day when the court WAS
hunting in the forest the King rodt
far ahead OF his men. Presently
there came loud cries tor help,
uttered with the .ulI strength of tie
royal lungs. immediately tie en-
tire party started flu | sp ed TO tn
assistance OF their master. When
they reached him he was sitting
quietly ON his horse under a green
wood tree. His fierce eyes scanned
the troop ofsolicitous followers.
Where Is Cedric?' he demanded.
Why does be not come to my
rescue? He fawns at my fee
asking Tor a Baronv; but why has
he failed to rush to Inc when t cry

'she,' SAID Ced les rival for the
Barony, he stopped to speak with
an old woman. Even as your cries
rang in our ears and we spurred
Our horses. anxious to give our lives

EARWIG NEED NOT BE FEARED
People Generally Have Mistaken Idea
About Insect, Says Scientist Who
Ought to Know.

The earwig, one of the most familiar
types Of insect life found in garden
and field, has been much maligned.
So says w Harold S. Cheavin, F. r. M.
S., well-known British scientist.
A great dislike for the earwig has
existed for centuries because of belief
that it delights to creepinto the human
ear and cause death, The name, says
Professor cneavio. probably helps to
keep alive this idea, which is absurd
to entomologists. He contends that in
sects considerably smaller than the
earwig would have trouble in entering
the human ear, and in nearly every at
tempt would fail. The earwig ts q
fourth Of an inch long.
That it is chiefly responsible for
damage to pet plants is another alb
surd idea about this insect, says Pro-
fessor Cheayin. Research proves that
it is boon, and not a pest, feeding
largely on aphides and plant lice, and
preferring dead insects to fruit or
vegetables,

The German Almanach de Gotha
published two editions in 1908, and the
first of these, which was suppressed
by order of Napoleon, is now worth
considerably more than its weight in
gold. The suppression, says the Pail
Mall Gazette, took place because the
editor had included in the section de-
voted to reigning sovereigns a number
of German princes deposed by the
French emperor. From that year un-
til 1914 the proofs had to be sub.
mitted to the French authorities be-
fore publication.
The revised edition OF 1903 contains
curious collection Of portraits. Ma

the inscription:
