ThaekeraN,s Satire.

Thackeray created quite erroneous
impressions OF himself by often indulg-
ing In irony In the presence OF people
who were incapable OF understanding
1t. One curious Instance which he gave
vas this; Thackeray had been dining
at the Garrick and was talking In the
smoking room after dinner with vari-
Gus club acqualntances. one OF them
happening 10 have left his cigar case
at home, Thackeray, though disliklng
the man, who was a notorious tuft
hunter, good naturedly offered him one
OF his cigars. The man accepted the
cigar, but not finding II 10 his liking,
had the bad taste to say 10 Thackeray.
81 say, Thackeray, you won't mind my
saying don't think much OF this ci-
garT Thackeray, no doubt irritated at
the mans righteousness and bearing
In mind his tuft hunting predictions,
quietly responded, you ought to, my
good fellow, for 1t was given me by
a lord" Instead, however, of detecting
the irony, the dolt Immediately at
tributed the remark TO snobbishness on
part and to the end OF
his days went about declaring that
had boosted that he had
been given cigar by lord.

Shin Money.

Charles I. was bddly in need OF mon
ey, and his attorney general in thu
course Of his antiquarian researches
discovered that In the dim ages of thu
past the crown had issued writs to thu
cities and towns on the coast requiring
them to provide vessels for the roya
needs, and he suggested that this an
Client right might be brought into us,
again. Instead of the actual vessels {,
money contribution might be exactes
instead. Thus the king would be abl'
to tax a larger part of the realm whit
theoretically observing the laws. Writ
for ship money were accordingly is
sued. but the patriot John Hampder
declared that they were illegal ant
raised such protest against then
that they were practically nullifed.

Ballads as Newspapers.

The ballad. or that form of II which
is associated with the broadside, was
one predecessor of the newspaper as q
commentator on events. II was writ
ten for the people and sold to the peo
pie. Printed on poor paper and passed
from hand to hand. copies Of early bal
lads were seldom preserved. Fortu
nately several men Of the seventeenth
century began to make collections OF
ballads, and the copies of broadside'
printed before 100 that are now in ex
istence are supposed to number abom
10000. Soon after 100 the printed
form Of the ballad was changed, the
"black letter. disappearing, but tn.
ballad continued as a chronicler of hap
penings and a commentator on polid
cal, military and other public events
until the middle OF the nineteenth cen
fury and in the United States as wei
as England The topical song of to
day perpetuates the satirical function
of the ballad.-Springfeld Republican.

6elqian konqo.

Belgian Kongo, founded thirty year,
ago. is still In the early stage of devel
opment. So far practically no manu-
featuring industries have yet been es
tablished, and, aside from the impor
tant copper mines In the Katanga dis
trict. the only large industrial enter
prises are the railways and river trans
portation services. 1t may be said thai
all business activities in the colony arr
devoted to the collection of tropica
products - rubber, ivory, gum copal
palm oil and kernels, cacao, etc.-ant
the railway and river services are ir
reality only accessories to these activi
ties, having been established primarily
to aid in the transportation of these
products to the seaports. The gather
ing of rubber in Kongo has never re
covered Its former activity, and in al
probability will never again be so ricf
a source of income to the colony as II
was previous to 1912.

An Old Proverb

II used to be proverbial that every
man land it is certainly no less true OF
woman is either a fool or a physician
at forty. This means that every intelli-
gent person must learn so much about
caring for his own health that by the
time he is forty years of age he can
almost be reckoned as physician.
Why, then, is there so much talk by
doctors against self -medication"l A
woman can recognize all ordinary all
ments without calling on a doctor. II
they are ailments distinctive to her sex
she generally knows enough TO use that
greatest of all remedies for such all
ments, lydia r. Pinkhsm's Vegetable
Compound, and likewise she Is familiar
With the standard remedies for other
disesses.-Adv.
