The golden bees had been discovered
in considerable numbers, and were
thought to have decorated the royal
robes, and it is interesting to recall
that Napoleon, ever entering into the
spirit of historical display, chose this
decoration for his coronation robes.
Has Beautiful Buildings.
Journal claims to be the oldest of
the cities of Belgium, and is certainly
one of the most interesting and most
picturesque, and contains a large num-
Der of beautiful buildings. There has
always been great sympathy between
the people of Journal and the French,
and much intercourse between the
town and Lille, just across the from
tier.
In the Grande place stands statue
of the Princess d'Epinoy, who distin-
guished herself in the defense of
Journal against Alexandra FarneSe in
1851. She fought in full armor and
saved the town by her energy and
courage. The beautiful cathedral is
one of the finest examples of the Ro-
manesque type of architecture, and
challenges comparison with the SPLEEN
did churches of northern France.

impaired to its diction greater dignity.
And the purpose of words in diplomat
ic exchanges being to conceal thought,
as Talleyrand said, the language Of
chancelleries is far more liquid. 1t
must fit the cast of the particular die
into which it is poured.
So we must" conclude that General
SHUTS is not a diplomat. He has not
the diplomatic method of expression.
When the general met a diplomat,
trained in the school Of Metternich, to
discuss informally a separate peace
with Austria, he put the question of
such a peace squarely to the be
ribboned, bestarred representative.
There was hesitation. and equivoca-
ton. Goodnight !" was the generals
exclamation as he left the confused
diplomat.
General SHUTS may not wear shirt
sleeves in diplomatic councils, but
this use of the vernacular shows that
his verbiage at least takes its coat
off. The acid touch Of bit Of slang
put an end to the prolonged ambigui-
ties and deceits of which diplomacy
is so fond.

DAMASCUS STEEL LONG BEST
Old City for Many Centuries Led the
World in Producing and Dstrib-
uting Finer Grades.

Before the use of gunpowder, weap-
Ons of steel, such as sword and spear,
were the soldiers chief reliance; and
in making and distributing the finer
grades of steel Damascus led the
world. The knight who owned a
Damascus blade" had the very best
thing of it's kind, still unsurpassed,
though the sword has gone out of
fashion. According to a writer in the
Journal of the Royal Society of Arts,
this high-grade steel came originally
from India and was the result of a
process devised and developed by Hin
du artificers.
Zone of the many articles which con-
tributed to the world Importance of
Indian trade was the famous Indian
STEEL" he writes. ut appeared in
western Europe during the middle
ages, under the names of damascene,
or Damascus steel. By another trade
route through Persia and the eau
casus it found it's way into Russia.
1.-The iron and steel industry was
highly developed in ancient India. A
witness to this exists not only in
the famous wrought-iron pillar of Del
hi, but in many other specimens, some
of them at least being undoubtedly
high carbon crucible steels.
ITO this last category belonged the
wootz, or small cakes of carbon steel,
from which the damascene blades
were manufactured. Some of such
cakes were investigated by Reaumur,
but he found nobody in Paris who
could forge them. Some others were
presented to the Royal society by Doc
tor Scott of Bombay, and brought to
this country by Doctor Pearson. Fara-
day took a keen interest in them, and
his investigation of alloy steel, con-
Quoted in conjunction with StOdart,
was the result.

CANNOT RANK AS DIPLOMAT
General SHUTS Disqualified Himself
by His UnseemIy Employment
of Plain Language.

The language of the law is the most
formal in the world and the most pre-
else. 1t seeks the definite so ardentIy
that, with it's repetitions and where
asses, it confuSeS its own message and
only that rather perverted form of in
tellect, the legal mind, can wind
through it's labyrinthine verbiage. The
language of diplomacy, borrowing
something of formality from the law,
is nevertheless far more dignified. The
law deals merely with estates and pri-
vate contracts. 1t DEGREES the fate of
the individual. But the fate of na-S
tons may hang on the phraseology of
diplomacy. It's greater importance has

T@OURNAI, the oldest city in
v Belgium, once the capital of
the Merovingian kings, is

Belgium, once the capital of
A the Merovingian kings, is
truly a city of romance,
whether we think of the tomb of Chill
deric, the father of Clovis, with it's
wonderful treasures, discovered after
being lost to sight for nearly 1920
years, or of the poor, deluded youth,
Perkin Warbeck, the tool of the York
lists, and through them brought to an
ignominious death, says a writer in
Sphere. For us in England perhaps
it's primary interest centerS in its be-
ing the birthplace of Perkin,. whose
real name was Pierce Osbeck. This
strange impostor was the son of a
simple Flemish weaver Made pup
pet of by some of the Yorkist party, in
Guiding Margaret of York, dowager
duchess of Burgundy, to personate
Richard Duke of York, whom they de-
clared had not been murdered in the
Tower with his brother, but had es-
capped and been concealed, only await
ing an opportunity to declare his royal
birth, he succeeded for a time in eX-
citing a formidable revolt against the
king, Henry VII.
After many strange adventures and
much i'll success, in spite of the recog
milton of his claims by the kings of
Scotland and France, Perkin, finding
himself insufficiently supported in his
sorry fraud and realizing that he chad
not the heart of king" but only "the
heart of Weaver's son." made confess
sion of his imposture and was i'm
prisoned in the Tower. Soon after, on
attempting to escape, he was hanged
at Tyburn, finishing with a rope round
his neck instead of the promised crown
upon his head.
Tomb of ChIderc.
An interest wholly different from
this passing futile deception, however
romantic some of its circumstances
may have been, attaches to Journal
when we think of it as the seat of the
Merovingian kings. In 1858 some
workmen, whilst digging foundations
for hospital, came upon collection
of gold ornaments, a sword mounted

Thursday Morning.

Rev j. I. Pope, pastor of the Bap-
tist Church, will preach the union
Thanksgiving sermon at the M. II.
Church South on Thursday morning
of this week at 1000 o'clock. All the
churches will take part in the services
and an invitation is extended to ev-,
erybody to attend.
Following the custom that has pre-
vailed for many years in Louisa to hold
a union service on Thanksgiving and
to rotate as to pastor and church, it
was found that the duty and pleasure
for this year falls as announced above.
This changes the announcements made
Sunday, but it seems to be agreeable
all-around.
