It is a drama to be watched with two, and wo roust let tho actors sari their say and play the parts as- signed them and not interject what we Ithink as the play goes on, for We must definitely understand that these hien aro riot merely tapestries or "gods who sit - anioiig their perfect work,"- but flesh ag.nd blood, w illi hearts and minds like us, who bob and laugh and struggle through their life, when whom it is our business to make live as far as limitations will per- mit, for, like it as wo may, the fact re- mains that history is but the record of our great men's lives. True, as Mazzini shows us, they are not alono+, erratic blocks of granite in tL sandstone age. In then the thoughts and feelings of the tinges, which. dimly shimmered in all lesser minds, are focused, concentrated. and flash forth. They are the spokesmen of the voiceless class from whom they have come forth, friim . whom they draw the inspiration which still urges on. They are the signs and products of the time.

Not Good at Arithmetic. kir. Frederick Locker-Lampson, an $uglish poet, in a volume of reminiscences entitled "My Confidences," tells a curi- ous story of Dean Stanley, in illustration of the dean's difficulties with numbers. Mr. Locker-LamPsan, who was a connec- tion of Dean Stanley's by marriage, once turd him how the composer Halle's cook bad bought a lottery ticket with the num- ber `.'.3. "1 had a dream, sir," said the cook, "that made me,buy that number. I dream- ed the number 7; 1 dreamed it three times, and as three times 7 make 23 I bougkt that number." When Mr. Locker-Laampson had con- cluded this story, the dean did not laugh, as he was expected to. Instead of a laugh a wistful look was observed on his face, as if he would like to know where the joke lay. '• Then suddenly, for he was very quick," says the narrator, "his face bright- ened, and he said, but not without a shad- ow of dejection: 'Ah, yes, I see! Yes, I suppose three times 7 are not 23.'
