He was succeeded by his son, Louis XVIL, who was obliged to conduct several wars, wherein the captain of his hosts, the royal marshal, Napoleon Bonaparte, conâ€" quered a great part of Europe for his king.

Interesting Description of Six Years‘ Rambling Over the Globe. _ To most men there comes, ‘at some time or other, the desire to travel and ‘"see the world.‘‘ Most freâ€" quently it comes to the young man in the early twenties, and only too often is the desire killedâ€"or, at least, put among the impossible ambitionsâ€"by the stronger ties of the desk or bench, and the very urgent necessity of earning a living wage. . SEEING ABOUT THE WORLO The desire came to one young man, Mr. A. Loton Ridger, and how he carried out his ambition is told in the fascinating volume "A Wanderer‘s Trail,"‘ which is a faithâ€" ful record of travel in many lands. The beginning was the most dlfl'g- cult part in Mr. Ridger‘s expernâ€" ence. He wanted very badly to go abroad, but his efforts to get a forâ€" eign appointment were unsuccessâ€" ful, says London Answers. Making a Move. At last he took a definite plunge. Ten pounds in his pocket, and with unlimited hope and the unbounded enthusiasm of youth, he boarded a tramp steamer bound for San Franâ€" cisco. Through the kindness of a shipâ€" broker he had been able to arrange this first passage, paying only the small sum of threo shillings a day for messâ€"money. His first journey was uneventful enough, though the sixtyâ€"nine days of the voyage to San Francinsco were full of interâ€" est for the man who had never been out of England before. A short stay in ‘Frisco preceded his search for work among the fruit ranches of California ; but the idea of making the principle of "Get a Move On" the leading one in his life led the adventurer into a maze of quicklyâ€" changing berths. _ $ From fruitfarming he became purser on board a boat bound for Portland, Oregon. Here he asked for a job in a lumber camp. "Do you mind getting killed, young fellow?""‘ the boss foreman asked, and on being assured that the young man would take his chance, he gave him a note to the boss of No. 1 camp, and thither Ridger went.. He took on the job of fireman of the donkeyâ€"engine at the rate of three dollars a day and all found. He knew nothing about the work, but was prepared to do his best. As a matter of fact, he did one morning‘s work in that campâ€"and then he was sacked! The boss deâ€" cided that the new man was never intended to be a fireman. Trying another camp, he failed to get work, so set out for the little woodâ€" en settlement of Stella. Here he earned something by stacking timâ€" ber for a week, at the end of which time he decided to change his ocâ€" cupation, and became a strawberryâ€" picker. This proved to be the worst job struck in six years‘ wandering, and once more a change of scene was sought. Various jobs followed in quick succession, most of them disâ€" tinguished by the big amount of hard work they entailed and the microscopic amount of pay they brought. In America, particularly in the West, there is a very large floating population of men who go from one state to another, spending part of their time in a lumber camp, the stmmer in Klondyke, and then when the winter comes on they get rid of their earnings in a couple of months among the lights of one of the big towns. When broke they will start all over again, and reâ€" peat the programme till illness or a bullet in a ‘Frisco brawl brings down the curtain. Thus in his wanderings Mr. Ridâ€" ger was rarely lacking companionâ€" ship. He ‘"beat‘‘ the trains with the hoboesâ€"in other words, craw!â€" ed on to a freight train as a stowaâ€" way and took his chance of being discovered. After laying sidewalks in Vanâ€" couver, and being an assistant in a cigar store, he decided to go to Alaska. There is a wonderful word picture of the farfamed White Pass, the Gateway of the Yukon, the land of gold, and the graveyard of many hundreds who joined in the great gold rush of ‘97. But there was no gold here for the singleâ€"handed adventurer, and he returned by way of Vancouver to Seattle. Hard times in this Ameriâ€" can town led him to work his pasâ€" sage to Japan on a boat that was nothing but a "coffinâ€"ship." After a stormy voyage across the Pacific and weeks of gales and misfortunes, he landed in Japan with three shilâ€" lings still between him and starvaâ€" tion. That ought to have been the end of his adventures, but, having tempted Fate, that mistress herâ€" self now tc:;i‘klah;.:‘t‘l‘.‘dlll.lfio!t time Mr. r himsekK in the 'l‘mn'ns & hllvâ€"qn‘L miner, with a Government certifiâ€" From Japan to Korea, through Manchuria, and then on board a Japanese coal tramp, down the Chiâ€" nese coast, he came, after many adâ€" ventures, to Boston in the United States.

The innumerable difficulties enâ€" countered by the small party of white men who undertook the task were enough to satiate the appetite of the most wildly adventurous man that ever breathed. It was ten months later when our wanderer came back to Johannesburg, a sadâ€" der and wiser man. He decided to leave South Africa, and by devious ways and with many odd jobs on the road came back to England. Is Head of Canada‘s Civil Service Commission. There are not many men, even in this land of "mushroom‘‘ growths, who lived to see extinguished the village in which they were born. Villages are usually slow growing and usually are persistent as well. Especially is this true in the old settled Province of Ontario. Yet the tale that I am now telling is of such a man. He was born in the village of Kilworth in the valley of the Thames, and he is yet in the prime of life. The man is Dr. Adam Shortt, Civil Service Comâ€" missioner. The village in which Dr. Shortt saw the light was one of the old mill villages of the early days in Ontarâ€" io. It was situated on the River Thames, not far below Springbank, which again is not far below the City of London. London was choâ€" sen as the site of the capital of Canada by Sir John Graves Simcoe, who was Governor of Canada at the end of the eighteenth century, and this portion of the Province was settled early in the century that folâ€" lowed. Kilworth consisted of a mill, a store, and a half dozen houses. Its reason for existence was the mill, to which the farmers from roundabout brought _ their grain to have it ground. In the middle of last century the mill was prosperous, and gave a living to two partners, of whom Dr. Shortt‘s father was one. With the growth of London and the drift of business thither, however, the mill fell on evil days, and had eventually to be closed down, and then dismantled. A few years ago Dr. Shortt visited his native village, and found not a building standing. Even the old bridge was gone. The only means of identifying the spot were the few remains of foundations that it had not been profitable to carry away. The place has gone, and the name has been picked up and bestowed upon another hamlet in a slightly varied form. Kilworth Bridge is in the same valley of the Thames, but is some miles distant from the hamâ€" let in which the present Civil Serâ€" vice Commissioner was born. A Broadâ€"Minded Citizen. There is a tendency to consider university men as narrow. Dr. Shortt is an outstandingâ€" figure among university men in the Doâ€" minion. _ Yet, whatever justificaâ€" tion there may be for the tendency just referred to, there is no justifiâ€" cation for regarding Dr. Shortt as narrow. He came into public noâ€" tice first as an economist, and perâ€" haps the dryâ€"asâ€"dust reputation of political economy may have attachâ€" ed itself to him. But Dr. Shortt was one of those men who was a "calculator and economist"‘ from his youth up . His first love in the halls of learning was philosophy, and his turning to political science was an evidence of his underlying practical bent. He was a gold medâ€" alist in philosophy at Queen‘s Uniâ€" versity ; and he began his career as a teacher in the department of philosophy at the same university. In the meantime, however, his mind had turned to the practical probâ€" lems of the science of wealth, and at the end of the eighties he transâ€" ferred into the department of poliâ€" tical science. It was while engaged in this branch of university work that he became a public figure in the Doâ€" minion. Soon aiter the organizaâ€" tion of the Labor Department by the Dominion Government he was chasen as chairman of commissions under the Conciliation Act, and later under the Lemieux Act. In his capacity of combined mediator and judge he showed a keen insight into labor troubles, and won a reâ€" putation as & skilful adjuster of reâ€" lations between employers and emâ€" tloyeo. He entered upon this work nownâ€"only as a college professor. By his success in it he became & national figure in the world of pracâ€" tical affairs. Always a Keen Student. PDr. Shortt has always been a student, and he is a student toâ€" % He will be a student as long as he lives. He was a close student when he was attending high ‘school at Walkerton. He was a student DR. ADAM SHORTT. ONTARIO ARCHIV TORONTO Sadder But Wiset. Dr. Adam Shortt. zeal for knowledge, but . not . the fin:nc:l basig or leisure. V::x'el he w aching " philosophy was delving into ogonomice, and when he was teaching economics he was studying the problem of labor and capital at first hand in Government commissions. Now that he is & civil service commissioner, he is deâ€" voting his evenings to the investiâ€" gation of the history of the Dominâ€" ion. If he ever takes to historical study as a means of livelihood, one may be confident that he will acâ€" quire some new branch of learning as a hobby. f As civilâ€" service commussioner, Adam Shortt is the cynosure of the eyes of all politicians and of all civil servants. â€" He is also the head at which all criticism is directed. He is doubtless human, and conseâ€" quently he may err. But one does not have to be a champion of all his official, acts to recognize that here is a man who is somewhat of a rarity in our political machinery. He is not afraid of the politician, even of the politician in power. He has backbone. If he thinks he is right he is not easily to be moved. Such men are needed if we are to have an efficient staff of public serâ€" vants. The principle of competiâ€" tive examinations may be pushed too far in choosing Government emâ€" ployes, and there must be allowâ€" ance made for other qualities that come out on a written test. The Minister and his deputy have points iOf view which require consideraâ€" tion. But, after all, it is quite imâ€" possible to "take ghe service out of politics‘‘ unless ;ou have men of backbone at the head of the Civil Service Commission. â€" Francis A. Carman in Star Weekly. GUARD BABY‘S HEALTH IN THE SUMMER The summer months are the most dangerous to little ones. The comâ€" plaints of that season, which are cholera infantum, diarrhoea and dysentry, come on so â€" quickly that often a little one is beyond aid before the mother realizes he is really ill. The mother must be on her guard to prevent these troubles, or, if they do come on suddenly, to cure them. No other medicine is of such aid to the mother during hot weather as is Baby‘s Own Tablets. They regulate the bowels and stoâ€" mach and are absolutely safe.

The Far West has many interestâ€" ing birds, none more so than the Western grebe, writes a Youth‘s Companion contributor. That bird, which is unknown in the East and South, enjoys the distinction of beâ€" ing ‘"‘Number One‘‘ on the Check List of the American Ornithologists‘ Union. For many years the soft velvety breast feathers were in deâ€" mand as trimmings for ladies‘ hats. Fortunately, through the efforts of the various birdâ€"protective socieâ€" ties, laws have been passed to preâ€" vent this slaughter. . The grebe is admirably adapted to a life in the water. His feet are placed far back, so that when he attempts to walk he falls forward in the most ridiculous manner, but in the water nothing can equal the grace with which he moves about. The long, slim neck and sharpâ€" pointed beak offer but little resisâ€" tance to the water when the bird dives, and the dense, smooth breast down, impervious to water, is the proper thing for swimming. The short, stout wings move with great rapidity when flying, and carry the bird through the air like a bullet. (Grebes seem to know their exposed condition when on the wing, and are loath to leave their natural eleâ€" ment. The nesting traits of the Western grebe are unique. When nesting time comes the birds seek some seâ€" cluded lake or pond where rushes and lily pads grow. They pull a mass of these together into a great heap, which they anchor to a stout lily pad. The nest is hardly above the surface, and when the wind blows, the waves dash over the eggs, and keep them continually wet. Mrs. Grebe does not seem to mind this in the least, nor do the eggs seem to suffer. o6 There are two eggs, and they are pure white at first, but soon become stained a dirty green from «contact with the decaying vegetation. The mother> bird incubates them three weeks. When the chicks are hatchâ€" ed, they take to the water immeâ€" diately. 1 have seen a little fellow plunge off the nest into the water with hbhalf a shell clinging to his Whenever the old bird leaves the nest, she covers the eggs with lily pads or rushes. Naturalists forâ€" merly thought she did this to proâ€" tect the eggs from prowling eneâ€" mies, but now they believe she does it to keep the eggs from becoming overâ€"heated by the sun., The preâ€" dacious birds and animals do not seem to prey upon the grebe to any great extent; they seem to realize that it is impossible to capture one of these birds on the water, and as the grebe seldom leaves it, they are not often caught. It might be supâ€" posed that the muskrats, which are always numerous where the grebes nest, would eat the eggs, but they do not seem to do so. I watched a ‘grebe’l nest through my glasses for several hours. A muskrat crossed {the nest a number of times, but did not trouble it. e Once I was watching a sitting grebe through my glasses, when a muskrat came out of the water and started across the nest. The valiâ€" ant little lady darted at him, and knocked him back into the water with her beak ; he did not return. INTERESTING WATER BIRD. Mixard‘s Liniment Cures Diphtheria.

Having learned somewhat of the matters, Mr. E. B. Soane, on reaching one of their villages, was not surprised to receive a visit from a gorgeous individual. In To Mesopotamia and Kurdistan‘‘ he describes this visitor as wearing a fine cloak of camel‘s hair, covered with gold thread work. The dialogue was something like this : _ _"Are you going to Persia?‘ ‘ â€" ""I do not know at present.‘"‘ ‘"‘Why do you not know at preâ€" sent?

My patience came to an end, and I reversed the order of things, and started an inquisition of my own. ‘"Because,‘"‘ I replied, ‘‘in my country there is a saying, ‘He who annoys the stranger by inquisitiveâ€" ness seeks after the abuse and ridiâ€" cule that ill manners may call forth from the tormented.‘"‘ Frowning with indignation, ‘he gathered his gay cloak about him, and departed swiftly ; he did not even deign to answer my farewell.
