Madame Dieulafoy Fought as a Sold. ler and Explored in Asia. In the sixty-five years of her life, dame Jane Dieulafoy, who died in aris, recently, passed through ex- periences which caused her to be re- as one of the most remarkable women in France. She was born in Toulguse, and was not yet out of her 'teens when she was married to Marcel Auguste Dieu: 'lafoy, a young engineer. He went-to the front d the Franco-Prussian uring of war and took his bride with him. She disguised herself as a man in the regulation French uniform and fought by her husband's side. Both returned unscathed from the battlefields. In 5 | the '80's her husband, who had estab. | lished a high reputation as an engine- was.

Was not Murat a stable lad, Lannes a dyer, and Ney a peasant? Balance--the balance of energies and not of doubts or hesitation--is, in fact, the leading characteristic of Sir William Robertson's character, His face bespeaks quiet strength, the massive head set on broad, square | shoulders, the shaggy eyebrows, the a | penetrating glance tell equally of mental and physical strength. His ordinary expression is one of pur- poseful gravity, but there is humor and sympathy in his clear eyes when occasion calls, and he knows how to laugh as well as any Nozth-country- man. He belongs, in short, to that plain, simple type, strong and kindly, but. forceful in word and deed, com- mon in Northern Britain. x Rise to Fame. But though he belongs to the High- land Robertson's, the only mountain clan of Saxon blood, he himself was born fifty-six years ago at Woburn, being the eldest son of. Mr. Thomas C. Robertson. After the start in life to which reference has been made, he enlisted in the Royal Scots Greys, and soon attracted attention by his ability, his extreme thoroughness, and his high sense of duty. In 1888 he was given a commission in the 8rd Dra- goon Guards, and from that time his Sareqt has been one of ever-increas- ing istinction..

His department, if we are to be- lieve Sir Edward Carson, stood in need of improvement before he was ap- pointed; and this has been interpreted in some quarters as an indictment of Lord Kitchener. It should rather be ness of the Secretary for War is to 'be responsible for the work of the | War Office as a whole, and not, as some people seem to think, to attempt the impossible task of bearing the whole burden himself; and if, as is un- doubtedly the case, the work of the Chief of the Imperial General Staff is better done than formerly, it is to the credit of Lord Kitchener that he found the right man and put him in his present office as soon as he could be spared from France. That Sir William is the right man few will be rash enough to deny, and certainly none who shared with: him the labors and perils of those terrible early days of the war, when a grave mistake on the part of his department would have spelled disaster. One needs to have been in touch with men with memories of the Mons retreat to understand the confidence they felt in this quiet, strong man, of the steady gaze and sturdy, assured carriage, who seemed to carry on his shoulders with the ease of Atlas all the multitu- dinous worries of his complicated job, and knew everything that had happen- ed, and would or could happen in his department. ee HIS OTHER SELF.

Prwmtors (margin)--A high- mere piece of vainty in these duumviri. See note in verse 12, Lesson Text Studies for June 4. Jews--There was of famous mimies there is an amusing story of the celebrated comedian, Foote introduced a scene in which he' mimicked the carriage, speech and personal peculiarities of several local celebrities. The imitations, although | presented with a touch of caricature,.! were not ill-natured, and most of the victims accepted the jest at their ex- pense without protest, if they did not wholly enjoy it. But there was one, a well-known printer with several ludicrous little oddities' of 'manner, who angdily resented both seeing him- self as others saw him, and being a source of public amusement. He re- solved to put a stop to the clever act- or's impudence. Collecting a score or more of street urchins, he treated them to a supper, gave them %ach a shilling to buy a seat in the gallery, next day if they would hiss Foote off the stage. They promised with glee; "but; his, friends who. attended the per- formance that night reported that not a hiss was to be heard; on the con- trary, the obnoxious scene of mimicry was recieved with more boisterous ap- plause than ever. Naturally, the man was disappoint- ed; when, the next morning, the promised reward, he repudiated the claim, and heaped reproaches upon their faithlessness. They in turn were indignant and reproachful. "Plaze, yer Honor, we did all we could," explained their spokesman, "for the actor man had heard of us, and did not. come at all, at all. And. | so we had nobody to hiss. But when we say yer Honor's own dear self come on, we did clap, and clap and clap, and showed you all the respect and honor in our power; sure, ye Hon- or must have seen and heard r And 80 yer Honor won't oes ue ecause yer YHonor's 'enem afraid to Og, AT an, Jett yer -- to yer own dear self By réomilions. of the World.

Romans--See the note just { quoted. Note the skill of the in- dictment; the propaganda of these Jewish customs might lead to breach of the peace, and the formation of illegal associations. Stephen was stoned on suspicion of wanting to change these Jewish customs. : 22. Rent--The order'would be, "Re- move them, lictor, strip and scourge them." It does not, of course, imply that the prators, tore their clothes themselves. - Rods--The fasces car- ried by the lictors as token of auth- ority before the magistrate they serv- 24. - Inner prison--From which | Paul was able later to see the jailer against the light, while himself in- | visible.

The astonishing forbearance of one whom he had handled so rough-' ly finished the awe-inspiring effect of the earthquake. 80.

So also is "gleliversnee" used to recall verse 17, from which' this rough, untutored man doubtless got the hint. 81, Thou and thy house--Compare atten Arnold's. "Thou wouldst not be saved alone, by father!" From the very first Christianity is social. On the great world believe on see note on verse 34. 32.

With all his house--How suggestive is the repetition! Luke evidently remember- ed something special about that fam- ily. Having believed God (margin) -- Despite some belated] commentators, there is all the difference between be- lieve and believe in. the first, in Greek as in English, being limited to accepting some one's word. To take God at his word of course logically in- volves the higher trust, so that there is less difference; but in John 8, 80. 81 the two phrases denote very differ- ent people--watch the sequel with the men who had only "believed" Jesus! In Acts 27. 25 and 1 John 5. 10 we get the commentary for this verse. ein GERMANS WANT POLAND. Would "Liberate" the Poles is the Way They Tell it. ~ That part of the German Chan- cellor's recent speech dealing with the "liberation" of Russian Poland and the Baltic Provinces has given im-, mense satisfaction in Germany. It! is not so long ago that Germany was "credited with advising Pretograd to take sterner measures against Polish nationalist pretensions, and to' curb the propgands which the Lithuanians and Letts 'were carrying:on for as- quiring local government. But now all this is changed, and Germany steps into the arena as the ' liberator of Poland and the 'Baltic, 4 Provinces Baron Von Engelhardt, a | well-known Bavarian writer, has tak- en up the cudgels on behalf of what he calls the "German" Baltic Prov- {inces: Although they were Russian Provinces two years ago, tie finds now 'that the entire region is permeated, 'with Germanism, and that the "doming ion of Sweden, Poland, and Russia has not deflected the inhabitants from | their German language "kult { gentiment.
