I remember many years ajro a dinner at the palace---u great official diuuer-- where among the guests were many of the old leaders of rebellions, old up­ holders of the sho^unate. The last shogun himself, Prince Tokugawa. ^Hproud. silkHit. grim, sat ppppslte to me. and 1 wondered if auy human emotion could show itself on that Imjpasslve face. At that moment the emperor raised his glass and bowed in kindly smiling fashion to his ancient oppo­ nent. The face changed, was suffused for onte illuminating moment with a giotv of responsive fire. It seemed as if ttie emperor was once more thank­ ing the shogun for his splendid pa­ triotic act when after years of strug­ gle he voluntarily laid his power and his prerogatives at the emperor's feet "for the good of the country." and as if Prince Tokugawa, looking back-- and looking forward--for Japan, said to himself once more, "It was well done." --M*ury <3.

It used to be that astroaomy, with Its stupendous magnitudes, incredible ve­ locities and inconceivable distances, seemed to -make the greatest demand on man's belief, says the London Tele­ graph. Today it Is physics. We read, for instance, that Hertz's oscillations give rise to 500,000,000 oscillations per second. Where is the man who can conceive of anything happening in the five-hundred-milllonth part of a sec­ ond? But this is quite a long period compared to some of those now accept­ ed as inevitable optics. According to Maxwell's great theory, a light wave Is a series of alternating electric cur­ rents flowing in air or Interplanetary space and changing their direction 1,000,000,000,000,000 times per second. And this is supposed to be true of ev­ ery form of light coming from the sun. the electric lamp or a luclfer match.

' Sir Bdwln Landseer, the famous ani­ mal .painter, had an did servant--his butler, valet and faithful slave- named William, who was particularly assiduous in guarding the outer portal. No one eould by any possibility gain direct access to Sir Edwin.

"For some years it has been going gradually. Soon it will be altogether a thing of the past. Fire Insurance is tlie cause of the thatched roof's disappearance. No company will Insure a cottage or Its contents if the roof Is thatched. They who want insurance must sub­ stitute for*the roof of thatch a tiled one.

Borne persons advise raking after each mowing. I do/not. because the clippings drop dowu into the grass* aud form a mulch, which I consider Of great benefit. They also help to fer­ tilize the soil.
