His letters display a keen appreci- 'ttion of the scenery and the great country -houses, though the av- erage Englishman may have felt that his estimates were expressed too ornately. "Good-bye, my dear Lord," he once said after a visit to Lord Shaftesbury, "you have given me the privilege of seeing one of the most impressive of all spectacles: a great English noble- man living in patriarchal state in his own hereditary halls." , , Disraeli's home life was almost restricted to. Hughenden. , . , One Asiatic touch was provided by the peacocks on =the terrace. 'My dear lady, you cannot have terraces without peacocks," said Dizzy to a guest; and certainly he could not. Perhaps the only other hint of the East came from the host himself, whose clothes were not those of a typical Brit- ish squire. The fancy waistcoats -that had been abandoned in Lon- don reappeared in the country*, looking even more remarkable by contrast with a black velve- teen jacket and a Tyrolese hat. A rumor , reached his friend Beresford in December, 1850 that he was growing a fierce pair of moustaches. "Now this is very Riad," wrote Beresford to Stanley, "for he is not the person who ought to attrack attention by metre dress and appearance, but by his talents. I. do trust that this style is only assumed while he is rusticating...." Apparently it was. In spite of his oddities, or be- cause" of them, his tenants and workmen liked hint, and he at- tended to their wants. He en- joyed talking to them, finding their conversation racy, their manners restftal and agreeable. He particularly liked the society of woodmen, whose knowledge, npeech, quick observation and common sense appealed strongly to hint, ... "Nature whispers to them many of her secrets," he noted. "A forest is like an ocean, monotonous only to the ignorant. It is a life of ceaseless va- riety." . . He loved his trees and was constantly planting new ones, es- pecially cedars, firs and pines: `I have .a passion for books and trees. I like to look at them. 'When I come down to Hughen- +den I pass the first week in sauntering about my 'park and Top Dog -"Master Sgt. Angel Face" steps outside his quarters to take a look around. The "ser- geant" was acquired by trainee members of "Dog" Company as •a mascot and will become a member of the company. liere Is a Double -faulty blanket and Spread BY ED PA MILES S0 many things are happening these days to simplify bed-lllakinl task that keeping up with them re- quires real attention to the. subject al hand. Fitted sheets, tilp and bottom; lightweight blankets in gay plaid and pastels for summer, and fitted blankets are some of 'the many bonuses for the homemaker. Fewest of these is a bed -covering bedspread developed by a firm of famous blanket makers. it's a handsome bedspread on one side and a fleecy, brush -nap blanket on the other. This eliminates the need for both a blanket and spread. This cuts down the entire bed -making woperation too, and coupled with fitted sheets, practically reduces the whole matter to a flip of the wrist. It keeps the bedrooms looking neat and pares expenses too. Furthermore, you can choose this blanket -spread in any one of contrasting decorator colors and in twin or Bauble sizes. You can treat it to a hand -laundering or pop it into your machine since it's guaranteed against shrinkage and is color fast. Sides of this blanket -spread are handsomely fringed. The top and foot have luxurious eight -inch binding which make it a pleasure to own, This housewife is inaking up a bed with a new combination-->` blanket -bedspread, woven as a single fa»ric. She is able to cut down en the bed -making operation and shave expenses. l l',.c1teetsp>r'eatl tames in a choice of contrasting decorator colors. examining all the trees, and then I saunter in the library to Theol- ogy, the Classics, and History." He had a favorite beech walk at the bottom of his garden, and what he called a German Forest up the hill behind the house, through which paths were cut and rustic bences placed where he could enjoy the views. There were trees wherever he looked, and the woods of Wycombe Ab- bey could be seen from his ter- race. -From "Dizzy: The Life & Personality of Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield," by Hes- keth Pearson, Slave Trade h Still Booming A young girl, scarcely in her teens, steps fearfully on to the auction block. While she stands motionless, only her eyes betray- ing her fear and apprehension, the prospective buyers -shrewd, dusky -complexioned, hawk-eyed men-inill around her. Most of these buyers are pur- chasing the dusky damsels (sel- dom more than thirteen or four- teen years of age) for resale, at a handsome profit, to distant clients, It is all reminiscent of a savage, sordid scene from the Middle Ages, before the tawdry traffic in human bodies was condemned and outlawed by the civilized world. Yet it still takes place to -day. When the auctions are over the carefully guarded human cargo is smuggled north to the many rich markets on the southern shores of the 1Vtediterranean and the Le- vant. If the market in these areas happens to be at a low ebb at the time, then they may be sold as servants in middle-class homes. Missionaries' Difficult Task The latter method is becoming an increasingly common practice in some quarters. Inflation is not a condition peculiar to Occidental countries. The rising cost of liv- ing has hit Many previously wealthy men in the areas which provide the best market for this terrible traffic. Consequently many can no longer afford the considerable expense involved in the maintenance of a harem with a bevy of lovely but idle girls. So a houseful of pretty servants is often the highly Datisfaetory an- swer. This bartering of young natives is not confined to the more ob- scure and primitive areas of the country. Some time ago a scandal blew up in Brazzaville, the capital of French Equatorial Africa, on account of the open buying and selling of human merchandise, while in Tanganyika the brazen auctioning of young natives has become so widespread that mis- .4,»„x.40 CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1.

A giant telescope has been erected near Bloemfontein, in South Africa, where conditions . are ideal for studying this stu- pendous galaxy of stars. Observations and mathematic- al calculations are to be made over a period of years, and it is hoped that many of the mysteries of starland will be solved. More than any other celestial object, the Milky Way has affect- ed Man with a sense of mystery and unknown destiny. To the American Indians it was the "path of souls." In ancient myth- ology it was the highway of the gods to Olympus. Its very mine commemorates an ancient legend that Juno, when suckling Mercury, scatter - ed Milk across the skies. But this feeling of deep asso- ciation with the stars, and the simple affection for them which we find in Chaucer and other medieval poets, have been de- stroyed for us by astronomers who have measured their vast distances. These astronomers tell us that there are some stars in the Milky Way whose light takes not hun- dreds, nor thousands of years to reach us, but hundreds of thou- sands. Twelve years ago a new type of star cloud was discovered in the Milky Way, consisting of an immense "crowd" of stars, 5,000 of which have been counted so far. The light from this star cloud takes 300,000 years to reach us, which means it is 18,000,000 billion miles away. NO CROWDING Gazing at the Milky Way on a clear night, about one million stars are visible to the naked eye. A 100 -inch telescope, how- ever, will reveal about 1,500 mil- lion, and there are many more, too numberless and too remote for any instrument to count. One might think this would cause overcrowding. But as one astronomer has remarked: "Set three wasps flying over Europe, and its skies would be more crowded with wasps than the Milky War is with stars!" LOST IN SPACE Sir James Jeans describes the Milky Way as the rim of a great central hub. Our sun is one of the lesser stars at this cartwheel system or galaxy, and our proud earth is comparable to a speck of pollen floating in the Pacific Ocean. Yet in the Universe there are at least 100,000,000 stellar cartwheels similar to the Milky Way. Another brilliant star -gazer, Dr. Subrahnlanyan Chandrasek- har, predicts that the Mi1Ly Way' will not always hold together in its vast cartwheel across the heavens. The cartwheel, he says. will eventually stop rotating, and the stars will "jump their tracks. • becoming wanderers lost in space.

Philippians 4:1 Paul's experience in the prison of Philippi is one of the high. lights of Paul's second missionary journey.

Fol. lowing an earthquake the jailer was converted. (Acts 16). Now Paul is writing this,Philippian church= from the prisoin Rome, He still has the spirit of joy.

When he finished, the native pastor further emphasiz- ed upon the people, the lesson of joy in spite of suffering.
