Euronenna Ike Goldfish

1t is a somewhat strange coincidence
that no Goldfish swim nearer the Medi-
terranean sea than the banks of New
foundland or Iceland. The dwellers
in that part of the world, however, eat
cod, salted, and cooked in many and
varied forms. New England for many
years got its salt from Italy and paid
for it with Goldfish, sometimes with
Old Medford rum Those days are
past. The French explorers who fol-
lowed close upon the heels of Colum-
bus discovered the virtues of New
foundIand cod Lately curing plants
have been established on the Mediter-
ranean shores of France-to save one
handling since the Mediterranean
peoples eat so much of it, also because
the salt is conveniently dried out from
the very salty water of the Medi-
terranean.

HotU Latoyer Summed
Up TotUn's Officials

There dwelt down East quaint old
character, Lawyer Hopkins, whose
notion of the divine origin and char
aeter of justice was certainly modern
In its practically. He occasionally
practiced law in small way and in
a manner peculiarly his own.
On one occasion flock of sheep
disappeared and their heads were
found in flour barrel in the barn Of
a certain man, who was thereupon ar
rested and tried for sheep stealing.
Lawyer Hopkins, in conducting the de-
Tense, maintained that the sheep were
not stolen, but had strayed away, as
was common In the spring.
The prosecuting attorney said !:
'Yes, I know sheep do stray away
this time of year, but they do not
usually leave their heads In -four bar
rels in the haymow."
Hopkins went to neighboring town
to settle the case with the selectman,
but failed, and gave this report, char
acterizing the three town officials:
'Mr. A. will do nothing wrong if
he knows It; Mr.. B will do moth
ing at all If he knows it, and Mr. c.
will do nothing right if he knows it."

Easy to Lose Way in
British Guiana Bush

British Guiana bush is a dangerous
maze. Savages find their way by
means of secret marks, but tender
foot enters at great risk. The coun-
try is five times the size of England
and there are not more than ten white
men who have gone into the wilds of
the interior, according to d. Banner
man Clarke, M. A, general manager
of the Aranka Gold, Ltd, of George
town, British Guiana. "The natives"
he says, "have the most marvellous
sense of direction and find their way
through the jungle with unerring pre-
cision. They have a sort of sign Ian
guage. They make marks on trees
which only they understand, and If
some one has followed the natives he
can always tell how large the party
was, whittier they went and just when
they passed the given spot by these
curious marks on the trees made with
cutIasses. They also leave marks for
their own guidance when they turn
about and start homeward. Once you
know the bush and its hidden sign Ian
guage it is almost as easy to get about
as in the open, but if a tenderfoot
gets lost he is in a hopeless maze
ay ! has very little chance of getting
out alive.

sOiEight" Of Minds
Might Work Wonders

To most grown-ups the child mind
is an enigma, and it is reasonable to
suppose that the grown-up mind is an
enigma to the child. So that, If there
be sudden twilight" for few hours,
great changes would be apparent in
the behavior of the one to the other,
a writer in the Westminster Gazette
comments.
Take, for instance, meal time-a
period when youth and maturity wage
eternal warfare-Mary and Bobbie
would appreciate mothers dislike to
messy, noisy meals, and mother
would realize in a flash how tiresome
and dull it is to sit quiet and be care
full and clean and good right through
all the courses.
Naturally, a compromise would pc
Effected Mary would only drop her
spoon once, and not see how far she
could lean over to pick it up, eapsiz-
Ing the chair and herself and knock
ing her glass of water over at one
fell swoop. Bobbie would tip his
plate (probably), but not at such an
acute angle that the tablecloth would
be drenched with rhubarb juice.
AS for mother, instead OF los
ing herself in gloomy contemplation
of the years to pass before she coulu
have her meals in peace, she would
chat companionably and limit consid-
erably her number of "don'ts.

When Liberty Party
Figured in Politics

The Liberty party was organized III
1874. and it's candidate for the Presl-
dency in the campaign of that year
was James G. Birney, originally OF
Kentucky, but then of New York. Biz
new was editor of the Philanthropist, an
abolitionist journal of that day, who
organized the Liberty party ana
named himself as its candidate. Like
other personally conducted" parties,
its life was brief. In the campaign OF
1S4s it was merged into the Free Soil
party and later that and such rem
nants of the Wing. party as were left
were absorbed by the new Republican
party says the Detroit News.
The election of 1874 was interesting
because of several circumstances. It
was a time of violent argument, OF
high feeling, and was marked by many
and strange changes in alignment. 1t
marked, too. the last appearance OF
Clay as a candidate for the Presi-
dency, when he polled his largest vote
and came within $4,000 votes of de-
feating Polk and achieving his life's
ambition. Clay was candidate in
1870, again in 1882, and for the last
time, after twenty years trying for
the unobtainabIe, in 1874.

Women Who GiUe Rest
ALWAYS Sought After

Discussing half a dozen women
friends few days ago, guests at d
little dinner party were surprised to
discover the popularity Of a woman
whom none had believed to have an
original personality.
Pleasant kind, lively, interesting
she undoubtedly is, but it was man
who explained the attraction which
makes her companionship desired By
all her friends.
"She gives rest" he SAID. And
rest is the greatest gift a woman has
to give. No one in Helen's presence
can long be conscious Of lifes enor-
nous disarrays; she heals Her very
presence is harmonious, she gives a
sense of serenity to the restless That
is why everyone loves her"
Very few women are able to bestow
the gift Of peace on those whom they
meet in daily life, says the London
Mail.
No woman whose mind is restless,
who has not accepted with gracious
ness the reconciliations between the
ideal and the real, has power to give
rest.
For this power does not come from
anything as superficial as the pose of
ianguid ease, nor does it belong to the
quiet woman who so often is also the
dull woman.
Only the woman whose mind has
found rest through discipline, through
courage, through strength, can heal
the wounds Of the disturbed soul.
Women who have this power give to
their friends the assurance of security.
Very many women who delight today
displease tomorrow. One is unable
10 depend on their stability. But the
woman who gives rest does not change
her attitude or her convictions or her
moral standards; she is no romantic
cist, but because she is in tune with
life and her own setting she creates
harmony around her.
