birthday—from John (reenleaf. ‘Vhittler,
now in his eighty-fifth year.)

Two generations leave us, and to -day

I am not to detain you on these aspects of

has not reqaired any oonscious effort on my
part to refrain front discussing the question

In my humble judgment, public speakers, -

Lord Salisbury dispenses most princely
hospitality at Hatfield House, his Magnifi-
_cent seat in Hertfordshire. His entertain-
ment of Queen Victoria there excelled in
splendour, it is said, the historic reception
given by his great ancestor to Queen bliza-
beth at the same place.
While Lord Rosebery was writing his
life of Pitt, he kept an engraved portrait of
the famous statesman on his writing -table.
"It kept the image of the man steadily in

'.possible to make himbe seen by the reader."

voluntarily go out as nurses to the sick and

Harriet Beecher Stowe, the authorems of
"Uncle Tom's Cabin," has recently cele-
brated her eightieth birthday. Never in
the history of literature has there been a
bcok written that fired the heart of a
nation more than "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Its
sale was phenomenal and it was read the
world over. Had she never written any-
thing else the writer's name would have had
an honored place in literature. She lives in
her quiet Connecticut home, and it may be
truly said that there is little to look back
on with regret in her four score years of
earnest labor for humanity.

Mr. Ritchie, the well-known writer, says
that in her young days she used to go to
Sir Edwin Landseer's beautiful villa in St.
John's Wood, and she tells the* following
story about one of the artist's dogs:
"Among his many stories I remember his
once telling us an anecdote of one of his
dogs he was in the. habit of taking out at
the end of his work. The deg used to wait
patieutly ali day long,while Sir Edwin wee
painting„ but he used to come and lie down
at his feet, and look up in his face towards
the. o'clock, and- - on one occasion, finding
his hints disregarded, ;trotted into the hall,
and came back with the painter's hat,
which he laid on the floor before han."
Four of the daughters and two of the
daughters-in-law of "General" Booth are en -
mend in the work of the Salvation Army.
Kitty, the eldest child, now a "Marehal"
and the wife of Mr. Clibborn, did much to
develop the Army in Switzerland and
Frence. Emma (noW Mrs. Tucker) made
India her field of operations. Misses Eva
and Lucy Booth, both young yet, are ar-
dently interested, arid promise, in time,
to rival their elder sisters in useful-
ness.
Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth is the -
daughter of a clergyman. For a time she
served in Switzerland, and was subjected to
much persecution. As the wife of "t leneral"
Booth's eecond son, and director of much of
the Army work in the United States, she is
widely and favorably known in that
country.
Mtb. Bramwell Booth is the wife of the
"General's" eldest son. Before Maniacs(' she
was a Miss Soper. Her great work has° bee,
the foundation of "rescue homes," which
are among the most successful establish-
ments of the kind ever started in Great
Britain. She is a woman of fine linguistic
and literary accomplishment. •

The influence of forelas in protecting the

of Gkeece. In ancient days she possessed
7,500,000 acres of forest. To -day she has
