Scriptural English. Those who listened to Mr. Lloyd George's speech at the Guildhall must have been impressed -with the way in which the poetry of the Bible has 'permeated the English language. Nearly every metaphor used by the Prime Minister was one culled direct from - the -Psalms. Probably Mr. Lloyd George, with all the Celtic feeling for beauty, is particularly at - traded to the rhythm of Seventeenth Century English. He is not, however, the only Minister in the British Cab- inet -with a feeling for Scripture. Mr, Prothero, the Minister of Agri- culture, is,. though it is not gener- ally realized, "the Prothero of the Psalms"; the man who, fourteen years ago, sent out his book, "The Psalms in Human Life," into the highways and byways for the delight of wayfaring men. Irish Saws. "The priest was forty, but he lost his boots," . Miss Katharine Tynat mentions in her engaging reminis- cences as being the Irish equivalent of the. proverb, "There is many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip." To English readers the ,saying must seem as cryptic as that in a recently published Letter from an -Irish sol- dier, "The enemy hes the knave, but we hold the fingers." They both find their origin in the card game beloved of Hibernians known as "forty-five." "The fingers" are the five of trumps, which is the best card in the pack, the knave ranking second in value.. • The object of the game is to score forty-five points, a piece of • good fortune that seldom fails the player, reverend or other- wise, who has succeeded in making forty.—London Chronicle.

Most of us, who Lack the sense of proportion, at the mention of this big number are apt to speak of the "overpopulation" of the world. Yet, if we spare a few moments' thought we shall better know what this represents. There is in my study room a geo- graphic globe about fifteen inches in diameter- On that sphere there is marked a the spot about the size of the point of a pencil—at any rate, so small as to make it impossible to write the initials of its name, Lake Champlain, upon it. Yet, whenever Lake Champlain freezes over, there is good standing room for every one of all the inhabitants of the earth, and then this lake would be consider- ably less crowded than some of the busy streets of New York. Indeed, strange as it may sound, every one, young and old, would find about one square yard to stand upon. Nay, more, if the very young and the very ,old would please to stand aside -;on the shores of the lake, the remain- der of the total inhabitants of the world could arrange a skating party where there would be less crowding than is seen o -n a busy 'winter day on that skating pond in New York's Cen- tral Park.—S.

With the coming of March people who are afflicted with rheumatism begin to have unpleasant reminders of their trouble. The weather is changeable, balmy and spring-like; one day, raw, cold and piercing the next. It is such sudden changes of weather that sets the pangs and tor- tures of rheumatism, lumbago and sciatica going. But it must be borne in mind that although weather condi- tions start the pains, the trouble is deeply rooted ,in the blood, and can onlybe cured through the blood. All , the lotions and liniments in the • world can't cure rheumatism. Rub -1 bing may seem to ease the pain while you are rubbing, but there its value ends. Only through the blood can you cure rheumatism. That's why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have so many thousands of cures of this trou 'le to their credit. The new,' rich blood which they actually make drives out the a .poisonous acid, and rheumatism is vanished. Among many sufferers from rheumatism who have- been• earod.,by this medi- cine is Mr. C. H .McGee, freight shed foreman for the G. T. R. at Peter- boro, who says: "In the course of my work I am -naturally exposed to all kinds of weather with the result that about two years ago I contracted rheumatism, which settled in my legs. At times I could scarcely walk and often had to quit my day's work owing to the stiffness and the pain. I tried different remedies without gettng any help until Ibegan the use - of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I used six boxes of these and can say that I am about as well as ever I was. I still take the pills occasionally, and I hope that my experience may be of benefit to some other rheumatic suf- ferer." .

SHAKESPEAREAN FESTIVALS The Bard of Avon Honored by Om' Ancestors. A brief account of jubilees or fes- tiyals at Stratford -on -Avon in early times may be of interest. The that of which there is any record took place in 1769, organized by David Gar- rick, and for this occasion an octa- gonal amphitheatre, capable of holding over 1,000 persons, was erected near the Liver Avon, It lasted for three days, and ope:.ee1 with Dr. Arne's oratoria, "Jud'th," given under his direction in th church. The band comprised the whole of Drury Lane orchestra. Gar- : rick wrote a little comedy, Bali:led "Garrick's Vagary," which was pule lashed at London in 1769. 'lh : -op a, ing "scene takes place in the Bedfoi d Coffee House. Ne..t,le. Fanciful, and Lumber, three playhouse frc'qurnt ers, are engaged in co;.lversr tine. Nettle asks; "What necessity ::u' there fm- en oraiori:'.?" to v l,i(:. Fancifultl, plies: "i;erau e, I Fn, • pose, performance z: ou hi he :thew-1 ,1 in the church." Lurcher asks: "well then, if absolutcl3 necessary,* %t ha was a choice made of 'Judith?' " Nettle remarks: "Aye, that is a+ hat I should like to know:" Fanciful then explains that as there is no oratorio called "William," and a Shakespeare had no sons, approxima- tion was made by complimenting the poet thr(�.ugh his daughter Judith! - On the' second day portions of Gar- rick's Ode, set to music by Arne, were performed. • The recitative parts were spoken by Garrick. In 1827 a festival was given b the Shakespearean club. It consist-` ed largely of processions, bands playing in the streets. The only music mentioned is first a setting 'or voices, by Charles Dignum of the epitaph supposed to have been writ- ten by Shakespeare. - Dignuni died about a month before the , festival. A second musical event was a grand miscellaneous concert, which, says a local chronicler, "was attended by 200 persons of the highest respect- ability." There was a third festival in 1836 under the auspices of the now Royal Using Spare Moments, Sir Walter Scott, when employed as quartermaster of the Edinburgh Light Catvairy, was accidentally die- abled by the kick of a horse, at was confined some time to his house.

An ingenious device consisting of El magnet earried in front of each of the two forward wheels of an auto- mobile and in close proximity to the ground has just been invented, ac- cording to the Popular Science Monthly for -January. It will pre- vent the puncturing of pneumatic tires by automatically " picking up magnetic particles such as chips of metal tacks, nails, and the like.. The magnet is pivoted to the front and of an extending arm attached to the front axle wheel spindle, so that - it will swing with the wheel during steering and always remain in frr t of it. —Last week, Mr. Jos.

It is a custom for literary profes- sors and professors of elegant virtue to tell their pupils that all slang is indolence in these professors. A mo-, slang word, they say, merely be- cause we are too lazy to think up the "correct" word. This casual and sweeping generalization is a result of indolence n these professors. A mo- ment's studious examination of the subject -matter would show them that even among practical slang words the .expressions which fill that hasty purpose - of ignoring discrim- inations are exceedingly few, that. fully�-talf of the practical slang make a new and valued discrimina- tion in the child's environment, and that moreover more than half 'of all slang is not practical at all, but vig- orously poetic in its intent, supply- ing a new creative word for a thing, or a quality, or a mood. The words bluff and crib and flunk, for instance, are entirely practical. They are im- portant items in the technique of school life. Muff and hunch are as ingeniously fitted into the mechan- ism of social life as any words. They are skilfully formed instruments. Pussyfoot, on the other hand, is a verb of poetic quality. Up -against -it is more subtly so. She's a gloom, he's a butter -fingers, a flannel -mouth, have a heart, start something, put your foot in it—these expressions are all keenly poetic, and they are strong.

The -French armies, for instance, were never better fed than now, for France cannot forget the awful lesson of 1870—the failure of her food supply. To this she attributed the loss ©f that war. To feed the .French soldiers around Verdun, more than 25,- 500,000 pounds of food a week were required. This gives a faint idea of the colossal task of feeding an army. Canada and Britain have a huge army of fighting heroes on the line ; every man 1tusT have plenty of food, in spite of a world shortage. Upon Canada's food production all principally rely.
