The Right Hon. Andrew Fisher, for.
mer prime minister of Australia, who
has come to London to take up the
duties of high commissioner for the
commonwealth, in succession to Sir
George Reid, is fifty-four years of age.
He began life as pitboy at ten, with
his father, who was a working collier.
He practically educated himself. When
he was thirty-one he entered the
Queensland parliament after working
in the gold fields, where his sterling
character earned for him much popu-
larity among the diggers. A keen deba-
ter. organizer and labor student, he
steadily climbed the ladder of political
fame and success, eliminating in his

DON'T USE sLOvENLY SPEECH
Why an Early Training In Grammar
Helps-.A Manufaoturer's Lapses
are Embarrassing.

/ A woman was discussing the other
day her husbands tricks OF speech he
is descended from one Of the most
arlstocratic families Of the state ana
had every educational advantage. but
now at his factory he constantly as
soelates with uneducated men ana
makes the same kind OF errors IN
speech that they do. II he had less
social prominence, he would be called
an ignoramus. One can forgive the
worklngman, who never had much
chance at schooling, for such blunders.
But when a college-bred man says
"Ain't this flne?" It does seem rather
slovenly.
Perhaps this man was an eXemplih-
cation of the fad of dropping study OF
formal grammar In school, the Law
renee (Mass) Eagle observes. This
education theory has influential
spokesmen, as will be seen in an ad-
dress just delivered by an official OF
the general education board of New
York. concerning which the board asks
for a general expression OF opinion.
Some people ask. What use is gram
mar, anyway? Why is 1t not as well
TO say them things" as those
things?" The meaning is perfectly
clear, and If so, is not the purpose OF
speech observed? Yet there would be
no end of confusion II the bars we're
let down. A fixed agreement that GER
tain forms are 10 be used for certain
ideas promotes clarity of thought. The
mind grasps the regular form moie
quickly than an irregular one Ease
Of expression and understanding are
promoted by the practice Of regularity.
Some advanced educators, while
holding firmly to the need OF grammar,
argue that you don't need TO teach ii
in set lessons. II the child hears cor
rect forms in school. he will speak
them afterward, they argue.
This seems to ignore the influence
of ones surroundings after quitting
school, when one encounters a food
of incorrect speech in daily life. The
memory of the way you used to speak
in school or college fades out Then
comes in the use of the old parsng
lesson. The memory Of nouns and
verbs and possessives and detectives,
what they meant and how they we're
related, comes back like rock amid
the sands.

DERIVED FROM RARE EARTHS
Where Some of the Most Valuable
Metals Known Have Been Dis
covered by Scientists.

Rare earths are the oxides of such
metals as thorium, cerium, titanium,
chromium, tantalum. niobium, tung-
stem, uranium and vanadium. The
most common and familiar uses of
these metals are: For thorium and
cerium in the making Of gas mantles.
and for tungsten in the making Of in
candescent lamps. Tungsten, to-
gether with vanadium, is also used in
making certain kinds OF steel. Thori-
um, or one OF its compounds, is used
extensively in searchlights, motor car
headlights, and In fiashlight powders.
Cerium alloyed with certain metals
makes the flaming alloy used in cigar

Flavor of "Gruuru.v

The palm grub was called "grugru'
in the West Indies 1t was there that
the late Sir John La Forey learned to
eat it. AS he was thought to be a man
somewhat more particular than the or
dinary individual in his choice of food,
he found listeners when he discoursed
on the great delicacy and the delicious
favor Of the palm grub.
The Greeks served the grub instead
of fruit. A novel way of preparing it
at the table was to take the worm,

clump Of cottonwood trees to the
south. He noted that they came for.

hundred yards away.
AT that range his own rifle and that
Of Nolan were the only two that could
be counted upon for efficient service,
the ordinary hunting rifle rarely being
sighted for over three hundred yards.
There were five other men in the
house-Mr Upton, John Wilkes, an
old miner about sixty-five years old;
an American mine surveyor named
Wilson, and two Mexican servants
one of whom was the cook. In addi.
tion to these there were himself and
Nolan. Mrs. Fame and Miss Upton, and
an old Mexican woman who had lived
at the place for twenty years.
First Of all, Upton-it's a bit late
to ask about 1t now if arrangements
have not already been made-but how
is your water supply!
Upton looked at him. frankly puz

the slope to a windmill family dis.
cerned against the line of the green
alfalfa patch.
"Thatll be the first point Of attack
then" growled Kynaston. Nolan,
set your sights for six hundred and
fifty yards and cut loose at the first
person you see going for the windmill
They'll be trying to disconnect it."
Too late, sir" said Nolan. peering
out. They've got it already"
Worse luck!" snapped Kynaston
He turned again to Upton.
How much water in the house?"
Upton ran quickly back into the
kitchen, whence he came back with a
bucket in his hand, look of chagrin
upon his face.
There is only this one bucket and
it isn't full by long shot. What'll |
we do, Kynaston?"
DO like Br'er Terrapin did when
the cornfeld was set on fire. He set
and TUX it, if you remember your
Uncle Remus," said Kynaston grimly.
Put that bucket somewhere where
1t can't be upset, Upton. It's all we've
got, and the Lord knows when we'll
get any more.
Make the ladies sit down on the

THE WEATHER OF ONE HUN
DRIED YEARS AGO

The Springfield Republican recent
ly came across a diary which was
kept one hundred years ago, in the
year 1916. The diary stated that the
winter of December 1915 and during
the months of January, February and
March OF 1916, had been an open one
mild and with promises of an early
spring. But the following entries in
the diary show that the promised
early spring did not occur and that
it was a year of which it may be said
there was no spring. The record is
as follows:
June Season backward. d.
June 6-Very cold and windy,
with snow that covered the ground.
June Ground frozen half an
inch thick. Ice on water, half inch
thick in morning.
June s Still cold and frozen. The
people have their great coats on.
June 8, 10, 11-Fields white with
frost; vegetables destroyed; corn is
killed quite to ground. Fields bar
rem.
While the past winter was an open
one and the present spring is late
one, it is to be hoped that the wealth
er of June. 1916, will not be a repe-
titiOn of that of a century ago.
