The Wingham Times, 1913-01-09, Page 6(i W INNS JANUAIIY 9i 1913 I he Debauched Constituency. From the Ottawa Citizen. Sir Richard Cartwright's "Reminis- cences" contain very much of interest to Canadian readers. His caustic char- acterizations of persons and things, however much they may be deplored by those who do not agree with his con- clusions, at least indicate a mind that dared to think for itself and express its ideas Such a quality cannot too great- ly exist in Canada, even though its op- eration wreck havoc now and then with the cherished and the accepted. But of all the strong statements made by Cartwright it is doubtful if there was one of more vital insignificance to Canada than his reference to political corruptions. He said: "My own ex- perience has been that when a commun- ity or a constituency has been thorough- ly debanched, it is almost as hard, nay, perhaps even harder, for it to regain a sound moral tone than for a woman who has gone astray." w Bad Cold in The Chest "I am happy to tell you that I used Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Tur- pentine, and was promptly cured of a very bad cold in the chest," writes Miss Josephine Gauthier, Dover South, Ort. You can depend on Ir, Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine to relieve and cure all inflammations and irritat- ions of the throat and bronchial tubes. The Lees in C tale Alone.

WE WOULDN'T EAT THEM. Queer Dishes Popular With Folks In -Other Parts of the World. What won't human beings eat? Frogs, for instance, served up whole and fried in bread crumbs, are con- sumed with a relish in Cambridge- shire and Norfolk, Eng. Doesn't sound especially tempting, does it? And yet why should only the legs of this hoarse -voiced denizen of ponds and swamps prove edible? Many of us are fond of oysters, clams, crabs, lob- sters and yet will not endure the thought of a snail, although the daily consumption by polite Parisians of snails, fed on green stuffs, and on bran soak in wine, sometimes reaches 50 tons. Truly this is a little world of greet wonders! In Central Africa they do not shout "Swat the fly !" They eat the fly. They pound the insects together in a mortar and hake them in little cakes, which probably resemble our currant and fruit cake. Captain Amundsen, the explorer, found t d dofi flesh palatable, though u h rather tough, and seal flesh as good as first-class beef. Epicures during the siege of Paris did not object to well-nourished sewer rats. If we were only .ss squeamish, the problem of Mee and rats would find a. pleasant solution which would lesson house- hold expenses. And yet such is American shrewdness—there would soon be rat barons and a fly trust— and a am ' prices wouldsoar It ward A t avelestates that they Cape bushmen eat spiders, grasshoppers, white ants, moths and grubs; that anteaters are found in various parts of the world, while Australian natives relish snakes. Some one, anxious that the world should go better and men and women he happier living the natural life, wrote a book entitled "Why Not Eat Insects." According to his testimony caterpillars taste like almonds, spiders like nuts and ants with butter and sugar are an exquisite sweetmeat. Anton Fitz, an esteemed virtuoso on violoncello at the Court of Mannheim, died from immoderate indulgence in spiders, which he ate with a passionatezest because they tasted to him like lus- cious strawberries. Burning of the Vanities. Savonarola once marked his strong condemnation of luxury by collecting a large number of articles which he regarded as vanities during the carni- val to be burnt in the Piazza della Signoria, Florence, on Shrove Tues- day, 1497. In this "burning of the vanities" were included fancy cos- tumes, carnival masks, false hair and rouge pots, cards and dice boxes, books and pictures, together with casts and valuable sculptures of ques- tionable character. Built up into a pyramid of seven stages — signifying the seven deadly sins—the pile was burnt by lighting fagots placed in the centre, while children standing round sang hymns before the assembled crowds. First Encyclopedia. The most ancient known attempt at what is called in these days an "en- cyclopedia" was Pliny's "Natural His- tory." This old work, a very high authority throughout the middle ages, is really a remarkable production and well deserves the fame that for so many ages belong to it. Pliny, who died in 79 A.D., was not a naturalist, a physician or an artist and did not pretend to be the wisest man of his time, yet such was his interest in knowledge that he devoted the leisure hours of a busy public life to come piling the work which did a vast amount of good in the world and pav- ed the way for the comprehensive en- cyclopedias of the present time. Diminutive Aztecs. The feminine direct descendants of the famous Aztecs are tiny creatures, exquisitely formed and refined in fea- ture. They carry the head with the upbearing grace of the full-blooded In- dian; their skins are not red, but a clear, smooth copper color that shines like gold in the sun; their hair is coarse and black as ebony, and they are decorated with bright feathers and gay ornaments. These women make the most wonderful pottery that conies to us from Mexico, for they have kept the old Aztec forms and decorations in their art, ataycl they also weave won- derful baskets and do exquisite em- broidery.

Late King of Sweden Enlisted as a Private Soldier. Perhaps the most notable character• i.stie of King Frederick VIII. of Den- mark, whose sudden death occurred sonic weeks ago, was his entire lack of osterltatiollsness. He was one of the :v 1 most democratic of monarchs, and a man who, like his father, King Christian, whom he succeeded in 1906, preferred the quiet, simple life of a country gentleman to that of the court mind society. This characteristic mark - .41 his whole life. As a student at the University in Copenhagen he lived not in his fath- er's nalaee. hut in students' lodgings, er.d boaste:1 of the fact that as a boy be need to black his own boots. He cI oe' rd.nn his military training as a sim- ple soldier in the ranks, being in due i:I'ic' promoted to the rank of eel.."cant. and was probably the only, European monarch with such a re- His e• d •d it late Majesty. s e•, . K ' t however, h ever, care more for study than soldiering, parti ettlarly historical study, while he tool the deepest interest in edueationa questions. Indeed, he was often term 1:1 the "Royal schoolmaster of Eu tone." He not only always maintain ,•'1 that the meet important considera tion to a nation was the training e its ehilrlm''n. but he made a -practice eisitine the a .c ,. Of his country Y and examining the pupils, to whom he gave prizes. was intensely iutereveed ?'! .1t1:. siren. and always liked to make the aequaisite nee of tiny youngsters who attracted his notice. On one occasion, when wanting near Charlottenlund P,,stle, he saw a nurse playing with two English children—a boy and a e'rl, who wens twins—on the grass, He asked the nurse whose children they were. "That is a curious question," said th mune, in English, "for I cannot se:' why they should interest you." Thr King answered, also in English: "I am sorry that I have Leen inquisi- tive without �� ! ut i u ntrc luc' '* in:, myself to you. I am King Frederick, and my sister is Queen Alexandra of Eng- land." The nurse at once answered his questions about her little charges, and the King sent his compliments to the parents tf the twins who had interest- ed him. Iiiul; Frederick was extremely fond of travellers eicotrnito, and was rather fond of visiting Paris with his wife, Queen Lemise—who, by the way, is the tallest Queen in Christendom, being considerably over six feet in height. As a matter of fact, he and his wife gore the first foreign royal couple to visit the President of the Frerch Re- public in state at the Elysee. Although he was passionately fond of study, the late King was a keen business man, and succeeded, it is said, in more than doubling the large fortune the Queen possessed at the time of her marriage with him in 1869. From her maternal grandfather, Prince Frederick of the Netherlands, Queen Louise inherited $15,000,000, and she was also left a huge fortune by her father. As most readers are doubtless aware, the late King's second son, Prince Charles, who married Princess Maud, laughter of Queen Alexandra, was elected Ring of Norway in 1005. One •,f King Frederick's dreams was a Scandinavian union of Sweden, Nor- way, and Denmark for mutual protec- ion; but this remains among the as- irations which he did not succeed in ealizing. Care( p An Adroit Duke. The Duke of Gramntont was the most adroit and witty courtier of his day. He entered one day the closet of Cardinal Materiel without being an- nounced. His eminence was amusing himself by jumping against the wall. To surprise a prime minister in so boyish an occupation was dangerous. A less skillful courtier might have stammered excuses and retired, The duke entered briskly and cried, "I'll bet you 100 crowns that I jump higher than your eminence!" and the duke end cardinal began to jump for their lives. Grammont took care to jump a few inches lower than ,the cardinal and was six months afterward marshal of France. Keeping Dogs as Pets. The fashion of keeping little dogs as objects of luxury is not at all mod- ern. Both Greek and Roman women used to have small pet dogs, over which they made as much fuss as does a fashionable lady of to -day over her poodle. Even men, usually for- eigners, were not ashamed to stroll about the Rcman streets carrying clogs in their arms. It is said that Julius Caesar, once seeing some men thus occupied, sarcastically inquired of them if the women of their country had no children.—Ave Maria. The Word "Slave." The word "slave" is a word of bril- liant historical antecedents. Its orig- inal, the Russian "slava," means glor- ious and is the title of that race which subsumes the Russian, le. But when the Germans redu hosts of the Slays to servitude their !name, from malice o^ accident, as Gibbon says, became synonymous .with "ser - Lighthouses, The Greeks attributed the first light- houses to Hercules, and he was Consid- ered the protector of voyagers. It is claimed by some that Homer refers to lighthouses in the nineteenth book of the `Iliad." Virgil mentions a light sot a temple to Apollo which, . i='hlo far out at sea, warned and Ay.
