AGAINST CLERGYs EXCLUSION.
British Parson Protests Banning Them
from Parliament.

LONDON. March 12.-Rev. DIR.
Cough. prcbandry of st. PaufS cathedral,
protested in an address he delivered re
Gently against the exclusion of clergylnen
from the British parliament. He pointed
out that to be eligible for parliament they
would first have to give up the church.
1t was monstrOuS, said DIR. Cough,
that country calling itself democratic
should stipulate that n man should give
up his calling if he wanted to serve his
country. 1t was putting the clergy in
the same category as the only two other
classes barred from parliament-criminals
and lunatics-he declared.
DIR. Cough intimated that in his opinion
clergymen were quite as well qualified to
be legislators as lawyers. The whole
training of the legal mind, he said, was
against the development of the creative
faculty SO necessary in the making of
laws

BARK OF TREE NOT WOOD
Scientist Corrects an impression Which Has Long Been More or
 Less Widely Held.

Bark on trees and shrubs corre spends with the skin on animals. But 1t isn't wood. according to one scien- tist. and it isn't formed as wood is formed. It covers the wood. and 1t is generally an easy matter to separate the bark from the wood. Hemp and jute and fax are all bark-the outside covering of certain vegetable growths.
 Bark is composed of three layers of tissue. The inside layer conducts food to the plant. and under a magnifying glass Is seen to be made up of tiny fibers. Then there is the green zone." as 1t Is called, and this also is fibrous and helps feed the plant. The out side layer Is cork, and is really dead. That is, these cork cells develop and die immediately, so one really sees only dead tree when he looks at the bark. The cork of commerce is the bark of certain kind of tropical tree, but the outer layer of bark of all trees is technically known as cork, and the little cells going to make it up are called cork.

back to the time of King John of Eng

This monarch divided that part OF
Ireland which was subject to English
rule into twelve counties. and the en-

Watch Long Under Ground.

An interesting find has been made
In Kings Park, Edinburgh. While
workmen were engaged recently in cut
ting the channel for the electric cable
from Portohello power station, near
st. Margaret's we'll, in the Kings park,
one Of their number unearthed large
gold watch which has turned out Of
exceptional interest. The watch was
handed over TO the police. and
investigation by experts has proved
that 1t was made in the year 1717 or
ITS. The face has been slightly dam.
aged. but considering the great length
OF time which has elapsed. the time
piece is In q remarkable state Of pres
ervation. Some Of the metal wheels
are rusty. but all the gold parts are
quite bright. A scrutiny Of the police
records for the past 50 years failed
to and any information relating to q
lost or stolen watch answering to the
description. The number on the watch
is BAT. and the makers name is de-
scribed by the initials G. NJ.

"A leaving the conquered country to
his lieutenants, Edward III returned to
England toward the close of the Four
teenth century, the most powerful mon
arch which the nation had ever known.
He had been long Mt the wars and was
determined to let younger shoulders
carry the burden. His mind was bent
upon recreation, the rest and plenty
SO hardly won. His eye fell upon Alice
Perrers. She probably was u servant
about the palace, and was neither pref.
ty nor talented. But she had q nat
tering tongue and the will which moves
even walls. So 1t was not long until
her name began to be linked with that
of Edward Then his wife died, the
good Queen Philippa. Immediately
Alice perrers came into the full meas.
ure OF her power.
This woman had one ruling passion

der her domination. She persuaded
him to give her estates in II counties.
many Of them wrung from their right
full owners. She had herself appointed
as guardian" to wealthy orphans and
rifled their property. Court Offices
were sold through her. She undertook
to dictate even in the law courts, and
actually sat upon the bench with crown
judges to see that they decided in the
way she sought.
The people groaned and a party be-
gan 10 gather around the Black Prince,
son Of Edward, who had come nome
from the wars abroad. In an unwise
moment Alice had parliament sum.

both agreeing that they would never
meet again. Then the Black Prince
died Alice came back to the palace.
more powerful than ever.
At this juncture she hit upon the
idea Of cornering certain imported
Injuries. working through merchant.
The volume Of commerce was conpar-
atiyely small at that time. 1t was an
easy matter to carry out her plans.
So Alice became England's first profit.
eer and gained new wealth. The king
was feeble and frequently near death.
but Alice tenderly administered to him
and by the very force of her own spirit
kept him alive. In every direction she
levied new exactions and the people
were afraid to act. Scandal coupled
her name with that Of several men,
but Edward would not believe her un.
faithful. How far she might have gone
It would be impossible to say had not
the kings failing health reached q
crisis.
At last. when Alice saw that her
time had run its course, she left Ed
ward to die alone. But not until she
had removed the rings from the fin
gers Of this king, whose deeds had re-
sounded through all the world, only to
become the prey of servant girl who
was not even pretty.
