land in 1172. At that time, Strong.
bow, the great warrior, invaded Ire

of great Importance in those days
near the port of Waterford. {,
Some authorities, however. claim
that Strongbow was using a punning

land and Ireland allowed the poor to
carry aWaydead or damaged wood for
fuel. The people were not, permitted
to use an AK or a saw but were sup
posed to pick up the loose branches
scattered about The customary meth.
cd Of removal was to use hooked poles
or crooks" with which the dead
branches could be pulled down and
hauled home.
In the old English records, this priv

EMPLOYED ART OF FLATTERY.

1t was after the untimely death OF
her husband at the age of AZ that
Queen Victoria became the victim OF
a settled melancholy. For 20 years
after that event, she continued to wear
mourning, took little or no interest
in the social life of her subjects, and
made slave of herself in her cor
respondence and in her interviews
with her ministers on public questions
and the details of government.
1t was not until Disraeli became
premier that the queen emerged from
the shadow of bereavement. He fas-
cinated her by his rhetoric and poetic
style of address. Gladstone, she said,
used to speak to her as if she was
a public meeting, but Disraeli remenl.
bered that she was lonely woman
with a hungry heart. He fed this
hunger in letters that were almost
affectionate in tone. He called her
Gloriana and Titania, queen OF the
fairies, and in a thousand SMILES
ministered to her self-esteem. He
waved the magic wand of fiattery and
Titania began to enjoy life once more.
=. So the queen in her old age be-
came popular with her subjects and
revealed those mellow graces, those
milder attributes, that made her be-
loved and revered at home and abroad.

Along about three years ago, when all

to keep an unending stream of coal
flowing to the mills where weapons
and munitions were being turned out,
Ricka was imbued with the desire to
do her share toward the winning Of

WORTH ONES SALT


The phrase mot worth his salt
dates back to the time when salt was
regularly doled out to the soldier as
part Of his pay, and ones rank was
designated by his place at the table
in reference to the position of the
salt-members of the family and hon.
ored guests being placed above the
salt, while ,retainers and servants sat
below it. The Arab considers as
sacred the guest who has partaken of
his salt, a custom that might well be
adopted elsewhere. In Africa, hand
full of salt will purchase a bride, and
while We have all heard OF those rare
mortals who are worth their weight
