Perfidious Albion.

The phrase Albion perfide" (perf-
dious Albion) is generally attributed
to Napoleon, who undoubtedly used
It, though the idea long antedated the
great emperor. Thus Perrin In his
Description dies Royanlmes d'Angle-
terre ut d'Ecosse" (1588), says:
Zone may say Of the English that In
war they are not strong, and in peace
they are not faithful" The Spaniard
says: ~"Angleterre bonnie terre mala
genie" England. good country, bad
people). On the other hand Francois
Maxemilien Nilsson, the noted French
writer. who had lived among the Eng
fish many years while In exile. and
knew the people well. says In his
sTravels" (1719) IT cannot imagine
whaf could occasion the notion that
have frequently observed In France
that the English were t~reacherous. Il
ia certainly great injustice to reckon
ireachery among the 'ices familiar
to the English"

EGEDE H0NoRED BY DANES
Deeds Of Great Missionary and Pat
riot Have Not Been Forgotten by
Those He Benefited.

Two hundred years ago Hans
Egede set sail from Bergen, Norway,
for Greenland with the idea of acting
as q missionary. to the descendants
OF Norwegians who had preceded him
by eight centuries. With him on the
'"Haabet," or Hope" were his wife,
his four small children and "a others.
They arrived IN Balls river July 8.
Though he found no %colonists he did
find what he felt was a rare oppor-
tuhity. g Il
Hans Egede was a hundred per
cent Norwegian. But In his day
Norway was under Danish sover-
eighty and 1t was, after all, Freder-
lex Nv who did what he could to
finance his undertaking.
Although Egede. when he arrived
in Greenland, was disappointed, he
was not discouraged. he at once
began his work among the Eskimos.
translated the Bible-with the in
valuable assistance of his young
children-into their language, and
what IL probably of greater signi-
ficance for civilization, re-establish-
ed, trade relations with Denmark
that have continued to this day.
His book entitled "A Description of
Greenland has not been entirely
superseded ever now. When he re-
turned to Denmark in 1876. his son
Paul contipued the work he had be-.
gun. He died at Copenhagen in
1853. justly regarded by the Danes
as n Of the most courageous and
astute missionaries the world has
known. It is to him that the Danes
are indebted for their one and truly
great overseas possession. .

Arfter sLnset in the Tropics.

Apropos of the stars In the tropics,
one is always told that there Is no
twilight in these regions. This Is not
quite an accurate way of expressing
it. What is accurate. Is COleridge's
line In 1.-The Ancient Mariner" when
he says: IKE suns rim dips; the
stars rush out lie adds: AT Gne
stride comes the dark" The OncE
the u goes down, you do see The
stars at once; but the darkness that
comes Is not dark the red afterglow

shapes Of the clouds stand out inky

SEAL ALWAYS WORK OF ART
Almost Everywhere Stones Of Peculiar
Beauty Were Chosen for These
Marks of Identification.

Seals and their impressions, wheth-
er antiquarian or recently made, have
always stimulated the, fancy of the
connoisseur and art student by their
charming effect and the ingenuity
displayed in putting SO much on so
small a space. 4
The use of the seal for the identifi-
cation of objects by making a unique
and inimitable mark upon them was
adopted in early times by nations.
We know from the Old Testament
that the ancient Jews had them in
use, and recall the dialogue between
Judah and lamar In Genesis 80 rs,
which says: What pledge shall I
give thee?" to be answered with,
ssThy signet and thy bracelets" This
signet was probably similar to those
used In ancient Egvnt der OF
hard stone. engraA. personal
device. There are many such in the
British museum.
Ii Egypt the impression of a seal
Was usually taken In Nile mud and
attached to documents. Later on
among the Latin races seals were used
for bags Of money. documents and
even private rooms. and were inn
pressed III wax. The delight which
the ancients always had In bright and
sparkling objects led to the choice OF
hard transparent stones OF peculiar
beauty which lend themselves to en-
craving, and so II Ii that the seal at
tracted the attention. Of me cunning

was 4 great debate ~ the house on

Among the ancient Egyptians. whose
