morning and to conclude tht buuiu by asking each one present to give some quotation from the Scriptures One after an other repeated some text until at last It came the turn of Jim Bulstoke of the Crowfoot ranch My dear young friend said the dominie as lie saw the latter hesitat ing surely can recall some verse from the Bible Jims face was bathed with profuse perspiration but at last there came to him some approximation of a memory of something he had read or heard at some stage of his life about the first chapter of Genesis At last he brokp out God made the world The dominie lifted a hand to hide a sudden smile but bowed to Jims neighbor In the circle Curley was even worse off than Jim had been and for the life of him could not think of anything At last remembering the occasional virtue of a good bluff he twisted one foot around his chair leg and with all the confidence he could muster remarked lie shore did Recreation i Last English King In a Battle The battle of Dettingen in Bavaria on the lGth 27th O S of June 1743 between the British Hanoverian and Hessian troops 52000 men under command of George II and the French troops GO000 men under Marshal Noailles which resulted in the victory of the allied troops was the last occasion on which an English king fought on the battlefield His majesty continued the whole time In the heat of all the action which was membrance wore

toward the average stock Galton terms this tendency filial regression This the London hospital points out applies equally to exceptional physical and yet there is always a tendency to re vert to the mean average size Simi larly the children of a genius tend to have somewhat less than their fathers power but more than the average of the race According to Professor Pear son distinguished parents are just ten times more likely to have distinguished offspring that undistinguished parents Still such cases as the Darwins fa ther and sons the two Pitts Philip and Alexander the Great are exceptional Similarly also the children of a crim inal tend to be less vicious than the father though morally inferior to the average man Why Ho Was Unpopular When first made bishop of Stepney Dr Winnington Ingram was anything but popular and indeed had occa sionally to seek police protection Greatly worried the bishop tried to trace the cause and found one lady who was able to enlighten him

Exorcises Include Hana to Hand Conflictj In the Japanese military school where I saw a Spartan system of edu cation the exercises of the cadets with pikes ritles and broadswords were not approached by anything of the kind that 1 had witnessed In Europe It was fighting of the fiercest character At the end of the struggle there was a hand to hand combat which lasted until the victors stood triumphant over the bodies of the vanquished and tore off their masks In these exercises which were very severe the cadets struck one another fiercely and with wild cries but the moment a prearranged signal was giv en or the fight came to an end the combatants drew themselves up in a line and their faces assumed an ex pression of wooden composure In all the public schools prominence was given to military exercises and the scholars took part In them with enthusiasm Even in their walks they practiced running flanking and sud den unexpected attacks The history of Japan was every where made a means of strengthening the pupils patriotism and their belief in Japans invincibility Particular stress was laid upon the countrys suc cessful wars the heroes of them were extolled and the children were taught that none of Japans military enter prises had failed McClures Maga zine A WARSHIPS RAM The Huge Steel Beak Is Capable of In flicting Terrible Injury A modern ram is nothing more than a huge steel beak

was not a person and a London suf fragette insists that the word person In Its legal sense includes woman The word has had an interesting history Signifying by etymology something to make a sound through the Latin per sona began by meaning an actors mask with its mouthpiece Then It meant the character represented by the player dramatis personae Then it came to mean the part or character one sustains in real life and so the persona ecclesiae the man who rep resented the church became known as a person In a special sense and was eventually spelled as parson On the other hand person faded away to mean just anybody And so though a woman naturally resents be ing referred to as a person in or dinary talk many women no less nat urally desire to count as persons ln the eye of the franchise law Chicago News Bishop Butlers Generosity So many examples of episcopal cu pidity have been cited of late that the average reader may be excused for be lieving the bishop of a century or so ago to have been an incarnation of greed But against the Luxmores the Watsons and the Porteouses may be set the saintly Butler whose Analo gy is still used as a text book for clerical examinations Butler kept open house at Durham where he dis pensed hospitality with a lavish hand On one occasion a man called at the palace soliciting a subscription for some charitable object How much money is there in the house asked Butler of his secretary The secretary after Investigation replied that there was 500 Give it to him then re plied the philosopher bishop for it la a shame that a bishop should have so

an architect Dont f bow the cheapest bulkier inerelj because he Is cheapest if you accept his bid find out the reason the cheapness Frequently the builder is a man of little means and often h operates on borrowed capital Should the builder become bankrupt or fall t pay for his laboror materials the ow er under the mechanics laws of most states becomes liable for the builder debts This is true even though the owner has paid the builder for his work In order to obtain his house free and clear In such a case the own er must meet the builders obligations The prudent owner will of course pay for his house only as It Is constructed Even then it would be a useful caution to make sure that the builder has paid his indebtedness on the house Pay ments are usually made the builder when the foundations are done when the frame is up when the housp Is closed when the plastering Is finished and when the completed house is turn ed over to the owner Circle Magazine Ancient Castle Curious Clock Rushen
