LONDON, Nov. 26. - Winston Spencer Churchill, minister of mu- nitions. speaking at Dundee, said he would do everything in his power to make a league of nations a practical and powerful reality. But a league of nations, he con- tinued, was no substitute for the supremacy of the British fleet.

Odd Funeral Customs

Curious funeral cu>iDlIs fingered long in Wales and the border cOun- ties. Aubrey tells us of "the sin eater," who came to the house of the dead person and for a meal and fee undertook the responsibility of the guilt of the departed!
 In Wales the night before the burial the friends and neighbOrs came to the house, bringing with them a small piece of meat or bread and some beer, etc. This night was called "Wyl Nos'' (the watching night). Certain psalms were sung and Scriptures read, and when person entered the room they knelt before the corpse and repeated the Lords Prayer.
 Pence and halfpence were given to the poor in place of small rolls of bread, which was the older custom. Along the road from the house to the churchyard at every cross-road the bier was rested on the ground and the Lords Prayer repeated; so also on entering the church.

GREATEST IN OUR HISTORY
Among Men of Acknowledged Pre-. eminenee George Washington Eas-
 fly Stands at the Head.

In the generation that saw the birth and the earlier years of the republic five men stand Out-GeOrge Washing ton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall.
 Whether or not the last four of them were great men in the full sense of the word Is a question on which people were not agreed in the lifetimes Of these four, and are not agreed to- day; but every one felt then as every one feels now that WashinsFoR was great, He is a world figure.
 In mere intellectual power he was not superiGF to the other four, He had less originality and 4 less wide range of capacity than Franklin, less versatile activity of mind than lief fersOn, less brilliant gifts for a con- stFuctiVe policy and the exposition thereof than HamiltORi less logical grasp and penetration of thought than Marshall; but he rose superior to them all in certain massive strength of character, in a stately dignity, in q calm firmneSs of purpose that neither the smiles nor frOwns of fortune could divert from the eOuFse his judgment had approved. So his prlmacF was undIsputed then and has remained un- disputed ever sinoe.-Youth's Com paniOn.

Moss Grows sn Old Books.

A French scientist, DF, 'pierFe See, has recently communicated to the Academy of Sciences in Paris the re- suits of original botanical excursions which he has been making in the li- braries. By means of microscopic ex- animation 0f mOldy volumes, together with experiments in propagation, he has shown that these blemishes are caused by fungi of low orders. Certain of these mOlds secrete a pigment whose color is characteristic of the species, and which diffuses through the paper.
 More than thirty years ago a Hun- garian botaniSt, Jules Schaarschmidt, attempted to study the plants met up- on the edges and in the folds of old bank notes. among the dust and dirt. He scraped the surface of paper mon- ey in these places and, transferring the deposit thus secured into d drop of water placed under microscope, he Was able to establish the presence of an abundant cryptogamic vegeta- ton. But he pursued his investiga- tiOns no further than this.

THEIR HEARTS NOT BURIED
Many Instances of Celebrated Men Who Have lad shlsf Organ of
 Life Preserved.

A recently proved will contained the clause that the deceased 'wiShed his heart to be separated from his body and preserved in spirits"
 The request, though a singular one, is not without precedent. Tn 1909 Lord Burton made a similar request, and nine years earlier the Marquess of Butte ordered that his heart should be conveyed to the Mount of Olives for burial. This was done by his widow. Robert Bruce enjoined a sim liar duty on his retainer Douglas, who may or may not have acceded to the demand.
 Shelly's heart is supposed to have been rescued by Trelawney during the cremation of the poet. but there is in- sufficient RyideRce on the point.

Praise of Open Fires.

To many of Us plain bread-and-but- ter persons, praise of open fires some times seems little too warm and eOmfortable-tOO sIIugly contempla- i've. We like open fires. We would have them in every room in the house except the kitchen and the bathroom and perhaps in the bathroom, where we could hang our towels from the manteipiece Gas gallant practical gen. tlemen, now some centuries dead, named 1t by hanging up their wet mantles) and let them warm while we were taking our baths. We go as far as any in regarding the open fire as q welcoming host in the hall, an un. disturbing companion in the library, an encourager of digestion in the dln- ing room, an enlivener in the living room and a goodnight thought of hos pitality in the guest chamber. But we cannot follow the essayist who speaks contemptuously of hot-water pipes. "From the security of ambush" says he, "they merely heat, and heat whose source is invisible is not to be coveted at all."

Citv oF Men1oriea

The fair city of Compiegne is called by the London Chronicle. "a city of memories, sad and romantic" It was there that Joan of Arc was made pris- oner and handed over to the British. It was on the bridge across the river that Louis XVI awaited his bride, the ill-fated Marie Antoinette. It was there that Napoleon made Marie Louise his wife. The first ceremony had been performed, as was the cus- tom, by proxy in Vienna the civil and religious marriages were to follow in Paris. But, the story goes, the ardent emperor, tearing up set programs, drove furiOusly through a storm, met her at COurcelles and hastened her to her bridal chamber in Compiegne.
