Where Alexander Was Born.

British travellers at Saloniki may
easily make the excursion of a few
miles to the birthplace of Alexander
the Great and whistle THE British
Grenadiers" while doing SO If they
choose. But they will not find much
there. observes the London Chronicle.
The name of Pella still fingers in the
district. but the great Macedonian city
of Pella, where Alexander was born
on night of storm and portents in
October. 1856 B. c., has vanished, ac-
cording to the testimony of Mr.. ID. G..
Hogarth, who visited its site in 1867,
as though it had never been. The
plateau above the marsh, on which it
stood, is now plow land. where few
fragments Of marble and holdings and
many coins have been turned up from
time to time

81 Perhaps the most curious mineral
found in the United States is stau-
Srolite, otherwise known as fairy
sto0e." This is an iron aluminium sill
icate found only in Virginia and North
Carolina, the reddish brown and
brownish black crystal occurring in
well-detined single and double crosses.
There is some commercial demand for
the crosses as curios, which are worn
as watch charms or on chains in the
manner Of locket or lavalliere, de-
mand perhaps stimulated by the
quaint legend which is told of their
origin, The fairies living in the caves
OF the mountains, on hearing the sad
tidings Of the death of Christ, fash
Toned these crosses as memories of
him.

ruddy hue, which organ was dubbed
"Benjamins Bill by his political OPP
ponentG, from it's resemblance to a
parrots beak, the candidates Chris
tian name being Benjamin. This gen

tune to be elected, and, in giving
thanks to his supporters after the dec
laration Of the poll, exclaimed, in the
fullness of his joy, "Benjamin's Bill
will be laid before parliament after
ALI" "An' bedad," shouted an Irish
opponent, there's no doubt it'll be
read"

The bureau of naturalization an
nounces that there now are $50 cities
and towns where the public schools
are conducting night classes for citi-
Zenship candidates whose names are
supplied by the bureau. The organi-
cation of these classes only began last
autumn, and the progress made is
most encouraging. The plan of educa-
ton should be stimulated by local in
terest. Each community must do it's
share in support if the work is to be-
come a permanent and thoroughly eff.
Elective institution. The next step
should be to provide training for ma
tive-born citizens. We hope the day
will come when it will be compulsory
for all American youths between the
eges of sixteen and twenty-one to at
lend schools in citizenship.

In England the "6-shilling" novel is
gradually approaching it's nominal
price as result of the war. The &C.
smiling. novel, under normal condi-
tons, has sold for shillings and 6
pence, the custom in England being
to discount the marked price. Shilling
books used to sell for pence and g.
penny books for pence half-penny.
But now the "6-shilling' novel is
bringing shillings, and If the war
lasts much longer it probably will
Jump another 6 pence nearer it's list
value. Even newspapers are urging
their correspondents to write brief
letters in order to save paper.

rENAclrY OF PURPOSE.

Il does not make very much differ
ence how many failures we make in
life so long as we refuse to remain
defeated. If we permit our defeats
TO make us Indifferent to our welfare
or if we do not take to heart the les
son they teach naturally we shall new
or make any Roadway, but if, on the
other hand, we decline to lose our in
terest in the ends we seek to attain
and profit by each sad experience
there must come a time when we
shall taste success. Experience, even
if it means failure at times, is the
best discipline possible, and it is
largely through our setbacks that we
learn many things which otherwise
would never be revealed. For one
thing we discover that we are not
nearly so clever as we think we are,
and from this admission it is only
step to the realization that there are
other persons who are just as clever
and capable as we believe ourselves
to be. One such realization leads to
another and the discipline that each
imposes makes us more familiar with
life as a whole as we'll as in its bear
ing upon us individually. After e.
while we begin to understand that
cleverness is not necessary to sue
cess, that often patience and deter
mination and tenacity of purpose of
themselves accomplish larger results
than mere skillful endeavor unaccom-
panied by intelligent understanding.
