The re- cent ease at Lord Swinton, who died before the letters patent of his peer- age passed the Great Seal, Is unusual, but not without precedent. Seven year's ago a barony was be- stowed on ;air. Thomas Borthwick, but he died before the issue of the letters patent. From various causes 124 peerages became extinct between 1800 and 1900. Some peers have had no heirs, as Lords Kitchener and Roberta, Lord Kelvin, the scientist, left no heir et all, Lord Lister, the Inventor of antiseptic surgery, had no one to carry on his title, which has thus be- come extinct.

They may not be at all cowardly children., but if you notiee, you will find probably that the fear is owing to one of two causes, either they are specially imaginative children, or they have been frightened in some way which gives them an un- natural teaser of the darkness. tallness. Direction for appying usual - These two causes should be treated ly come with then. in very different ways. Take the ease of the imaginative " child. When one really thinks about Royal Clothes. it, what is morn natural than that The most extravagant lnropean such a child should be afraid of the darkness? The unknown has its fears for most of us, and for the imagina- tive most of all. And to a child, how many things in this strange world in which it finds itself are unknown. It has to explore everything itself and it never knows what will bo the next surprise. The darkness must neces- sarily be mysterious to it. What may coma out of the darkness to its bed- side? Some strange, dreadful mon- ster like the scarecrow that fright- ened it is in the field, or perhaps that great spider that frightened Miss Muffett so much—it seemed to do it on purpose --or the three bears might come all round the bed, for they came all round Little Goldie Locks' Keep Lamps Shining Brightly, A good many industrious and clean- ly disposed housewives, like Aladdin of old, believe in rubbing their metal lamps. Aladdin got what he wished for when he rubbed his glim producer, but the housewife generally gets, in the course of time, what she doesn't want; namely, a shabby appearing lamp, for it doesn't take long to rub the laequer off metal. Lamps wouldn't be permitted to remain shabby very long if house- keepers knew how simple a process it is to relacquer or re -enamel them.

The bill of ]lis civil tailor bordered on $10,000 a year, and that of his military tailor $15,000. Hie top -hat cost ]rim $25, and every year he gave $2,000 for a fur coat. It is said that he never gave less that $00 for a suit, and never wore It more than three tunes. Compared with him the Paiser wee quite ehappy. Ills price for a suit is at most $85, and he will wear it thirty times; whilst living Healton spends no more on a shit than the average Norwegian groom-.

Such ed, but how do you fix the inner thoughts are quite natural; and even tubes?" more terrifying ideas than these oc- rEinasa'n stn ,lens 1Aanevr8 cur to the imaginative child, for it is quite capable to drawing on that im- agination until it actually sees these things and to add to the horror, by hearing the scarecrow speak, or the bear's claws scratching on the floor; the furniture of the room will take the shape of strange creatures who stand silently round watching unceas- ingly; in fact, there is no end to such night terrors when they once begin. Now how ean all this be ended? The best thing a mother can do is to welcome that imagination in the child as her ally. Let her try to plant in the child's mind the seeds of love and trust. Teach the little one to see the good in everything. Don't let it fear or despise ugliness and deformity, but - pity it. Let it understand that such things as fire and water and darkness are beautiful and useful and our friends; that animals aro here to be loved and to love us, and that if they scratch and bite it 45 generally be- cause they have been badly treated, even lions and tigers do not !till for cruelty but for food. Along such lines the child's imagination will take the right attitude to things, and wonders will have been !accomplished, ` For the same reason choose a child's reading from the first along these lines—no fairy stories of enmity and horrors, Such stories are too emnmon—but beautiful fairy stoles of pretty fairies and good spirits and lovely deeds. And above all, teach it to love nature. The ease of the child who has been frightened is different. Though what tseurtatiria. He Wears a Necklace. Did you ever Ileal' of a man wearing ;t necitlace?
