Wan noight lasht wake, whin the missus wus out to wan av thim bridge parthies, they carne downshtairs to see me, an I tought it me dooty to shpake a few wurruds av advoice to thim, be rayson av the way they pur- `find to shpake the English langwidge. "Byes," sez I, "What d'ye tink is the most harrud wurruked wurrud in 'Canada to -day?" They touid me they -didn't tink it wus fit fer publicashun. '"Tis wrong ye are intoirely," sez I, "fer, shure, the little wurrud I mane has no fault wid it, at all, at all,. barrin that it so often gits out av its place, an will be kilt wid over- wurruk wan av these days." Thin I bet thim a ticket to the nixt 'hockey match that they cudden't guess it :in tin minits, an I won the bet. "'Tis the wurrud 'up' " sez I, an they wudden't belave me at fursht, but I soon convinced thim . wid me argymint. Pickin up the daily noospayper I showed thim in the big head loines, "`Another hotild up in Detroit," "Sin- clair houlds up the blziness av the House wid a toiresome spaich," "Mo- tor thruck smashed up an the hoigh- way," "Business hild up all over the 'counthry, be rayson av the whate pool houidin up the whate", and a lot moore av the same koind. " 'Tis the same wid iviryting ye talk about byes," sez I„ "Whin we hev a big shtorin ye say the roads do be blocked tip wid shnow, an whin Shpring comes ye will say that the river breaks up. If ye go to a hockey match, some fellah gits, all het up, as ye call it, an bats another fellah on 'the head wid his shtick an thin theer is a gineral mix up, Whitt the foight is over they pickup the byes who are hutted, an the dochtors stitch up theer heads.

"If ye wurruk in a bank ye add`up figgers, an in a shtore ye toi up'par cels; on a farrum: ye break up sod fields, an in an Insurance awfice ye look up business; in school- ye shtir up the taichers,'an in a blacksmith shop ye fix up annyting that's bruk." The wimmin lace up theer shoes, an button up theer gloves, shwape up the flures, mix up cakes, dust up the furniture, woind up the cicok, put up. lunches fer the childer to - take to school, wash up the dishes, an, if they hev anny Moore toirne, ring up theer naybers on the 'phone.

The countries where ballroom dancing is most popular .are England, America, 'i ca, Germany, France,and Spain. And if I are asked, Where are the best dancers?" I always un- hesitatingly answer, "In England," writes Santos Casani, a well-known dance .expert, to Tit -Bite. This is af- :or watching for several years danc- ing on both sides of the Atlantic, on :he Continent, and at every grade of ballroom in the Old Country. English dancers have, above all e1se, a well-balanced and polished style that cannot be superseded, They do not worry about steps, and are not concerned with mastering a whole string of intricate dances. Rather they concentrate on improve- ment of such points as grace, smooth- ness, and an artistic hold. This is the secret of their. success. In comparing 7 p g F7ng ish dancing from the point of view of style with that of other countries there is no doubt that it is far ahead—excepting, perhaps, Spain, which closely rivals us for sheer, grace in its national dance, the tango, : But although here there is competition, that is not conquest. The grace of the dance makes it stand out and in many of its details challenge English dancing. But even the magnificent grace with which the Spaniards and their allies the Argen- tines of South America do the tango, it is counterbalanaced bythe many exotic movements and exaggerated steps which are introduced. Such characteristics as these are entirely foreign to the British conception of perfect dancing, and inevitably lose them points. For what reason is it. that English dancing' is 'of such a high standard and stands out so conspicuously among that of its rivals? Mainly 1 think it is because we take our danc- ing seriously. We take it as .a really important :hart of our recreation, study it carefully, its technique; its steps, and the best movements that make for good style, and regard -it as a really serious business. A survey of the 'dancing of other countries will clearly show where they lose points. Take the . French. To them dancing is a jolly, happy- go-lucky .affair. They are step -mad. They have a repertoire so vast that even a professional couple of English dancers could never hope to insea r ize, let alone expound. The French evidently consider that a twist for every quaver of dance music, a bend or a dip for every pause, stand for good dancing. And now the. German. Dancing to the Teuton is more an elaborate cere- mony than a pastime. From the mo- ment he claims a partner he is the arbitrator, and a very decisive one at that. He pushes her ponderously round the floor like a wheelbarrow. He is tremendously conscious of his importance. He stamps with all his might and main. As for the Americans, they are as volatile as the Frenchman. Their dancing is almost volcanic. They sweep everything before them. They whirl and twirl, one moment they take long sweeping steps, expanding themselves in every corner of the ballroom, the next some note of the music urges them to mark time on their own ground for an interminable time and perform •a series of short, snappy, staccato steps that beat out a rhythm as clear - cut as the bands- man's strokes on the Chinese drum. Dancing couples of every nation shine on certain points, but a first- class English couple shine on all points. They dance ethereally, with smooth buoyancy and seeming negli- gence that make them appear as some winged mechanism soaring through space. r• There is another, point that en- sures the perfection of English danc- ing. It is that the girl of a couple rarely attempts to lead. She leaves everything to her partner and plays the passive part of following in his footsteps—literally. And this is how it should be, , Disregard of this is what ',frequently prejudices the danc- ers of other nationalities. Attempt by a girl to lead can only have one result—a conflict of steps between her and her partner, at once nullifying good style. Assuming a loan is a good dancer and his partner alert and ever responsive to his slightest indication, the result of sub- mission to his dancing volition is sympathetic movement that looks graceful, finished, and harmonious. There is nothing wrong with Eng- lish ballroom dancing—it is the best in the world, concluded Mr. Casani. Radio University Tis Russia. Russia has long been employing the 'radio as an aid to popular educa- tion, If one "tunes in" on any of the Moscow stations one often hears a lessonain a foreign language, •a course of a constructive nature, or a report on some political or economic subject. Now a further step in this direction is marked by the inaugur- ation of a radio university, which has already enrolled more than 2,000 stu- dents, while 8,000 more have applied'. for admissions, writes the Moscow correspondent of the Christian Sci- ence Monitor. The radio university is designed for persons who cannot at- tend regular high educational insti- tutions and offers both specialized ^red general education' courses. .1 Ishing With Radium. Radium was recently used in Ber- muda as a hire ie. deep sea fishing. The radium was used by William 13e°ebe, naturalist, as a luminous coat- ing on hooks attached to sounding'. wire about a mile long, in' depths where no daylight exists. The first catch was a squid, a member of the octoptts family. Beebe outfitted with glow hooka nearly a foot long, hop- ing tei land some of the powerftil aa'eattn'es froni lightless depths that in past expeditions have broken out of the nets. He said ee asionai pros - time of huge scales its the nate indi- I sated great fish. WITHOUT A LARYNX, Wech+lane Taught Himself to Speak Tn. Monotone.. Herman Scbulenlerg, aged Any - three, a Milwaukee ureehanic, whose farynxwas removed four years ago fu a cancer operation, astonished the American College of Surgeons, at their meeting in Chicago, by his abil- ity to speak. Mr. Sehulenberg'talks in a mono - tope, but can produee inflexions; In his voice by pressure of his fingers, against his tbroat. The Ir 'nix is, of course, the up- roar part of the windpipe from which lire voice -sounds proceed, "I could not bear to be a, 'dummy' Ca deafan roan; a dumb . to taut man), with nt,y hands after I lost my voice," says .Mr. Schulenberg. "I began ex- perimenting with myself. I have a workshopin the basement of my home. I studied myself in a mirror. I studied musical instruments, and there I obtained my idea. "L used to play the organ, you know, and learned then how you can force air through a thing and pro- duce sound. "I did not actually operate on my- seIf; I used no knives. I used—but there, I must not tell you, about it now, because : it is not perfect yet. This I will say, I used no mechanical appliances. It took lots of practice to learn to tack again, even after I had the secret. The flesh had to be hard- ened and trained. First I could say only tetters, like a child, A and B, but now I can speak sentences. I hope to help other people, all those poor folk who cannot talk." ROTHSCHILD MAXIMS. Rules Recommended to Young Men Who Wish to Get On. The following is a copy of the alphabetical list of maxims framed and hung in Rothschild's bank. Baron Rothschild used to recom- mend these rules to young men who wished to "get on" and achieve suc- cess in life. Attend carefully to details of your business. Be prompt in all things. Consider well, then decide positively. Dare to do right, fear to do wrong. Endure trials patiently. Fight life's battles bravely, manfully. Go not into the society of the vicious. Hold integrity sacred. Injure not another's reputation, nor business. Join hands only with the virtuous. Keep your mind from evil thoughts. Lie not for any consideration. Make few acquaintances. Never try to appear what you are not. Observe good manners. Pay your debts promptly. Question not the veracity of a friend. Respect the couna'el of your parents. Sacrifice money rather than principle. Touch not, taste not, handle not in- toxicating drinks. Use your leisure time for improve- ment. Venture not upon ,the threshold of wrong. Watch carefully over your passions. Xtend to everyone a kindly saluta- tion. Yield not to discouragement. Zealously labor for the right. WINE DRINKING LEAGUE. Organization In France Believe Pro- hibition Is Not Effective. According to the prospectus of the Office International du Via, an" or- ganization has been started in France which describes itself as the Little League of Nations in Favor of Wine - Drinking. The prospectus then goes on to say that, paradoxical as it may seen, it has already enrolled as mem- bers some of the most famous tem- perance workers in Europe and Am- erica, whose names will presently be published. The prospectus continues: "They are all pledged to fight alco- holism, but they are agreed that prohibition as preached in America is not an effective weapon. Our aim Is not total abstinence, but moderation in the consumption of alcoholic bev- erages, and a candid encouragement of the drinking of wine." The promoters of the movement emphasize the assertion that if people are forbidden by law to take any al- coholic drink at all, they very often seize the opportunity to drink the strongest liquor they can obtain. And so, "given full liberty to drink wine, they take, as a rule, only so much as they need and have no temptation to abuse what Pasteur himself declared `the most wholesome and hygienic of beverages'." Montezuma Mines Still Yield Wealth. Mines that were worked by slaves in Mexico, to fill the tribute lists of Montezuma before the discovery of America, are stili yielding wealth and are more important than any recent discoveries of metal deposits, accord- ing to a report of the Mexican cham- ber of mines. The early miners tap- ped the richest veins. Ventilation of the shafts was an unsolved problem, illumination waS accomplished by oil lights' or, tallow candles, and the ore was carried out .on the human back. When the richest mines were ex- hausted, they were deserted. Modern. mining science has enabled the work- er of to -day to gather fortunes from the old sites, not by finding new ore deposits but by working the compar- atively low-grade ores at a profit. Prussia, Encourages Fishing. The Prussian State is doing every- thing in its power to encourage the development of deep sea fishing. It has shown this interest in the ease of the flsliiilg harbor of Wesermunde by' taking shares to the value of 50,000,- 000 marks in the Fishing Harbor Co. Among the fishing companies themselves, the attitude of the state has caused great satisfaction and a feeling of optimists prevails' that is expressed in the untiring efforts of the eempaliies to dt~velop the German fishing fleets. In the last few months a large number of new trawlers have been launched and taken over by tree Weser fishing steamer owners. 0140441144404041!114,14444440444 OO 4 OO 111444is lll 444414,,,,, l l 1 FAVORITE HMYNS 11, 1111,111111/1lfn11lll, lll1111111111,11111,11111l11111A111111 llllll11111i Mach in sorrow, oft in woe, Onward Christians, onward go; Fight the fight, and, worn with strife , Steep with tears the Bread of Life, Onward Christians, onward go; Join the war and face the foe; Faint notl much doth yet remain; Dreary is the long campaign.

Henry Kirke White was born at Nottingham, ,Eng., in 1785, the son of a lady who conducted a boarding school for girls, and a butcher. His education he received front the tea- cher of hand -writing in his mother's school, so effectually that he 'became quite proficient in Latin and litera- ture. When thirteen years old he wrote a poem, "To an Early Prim- rose," which attracted the favorable attention of several good judges of literature. In the next year he left school as the custom then- was at that age, and put into a stocking factory to learn the hosiery business. That, however, did not fit in with the inclination of his genius and he was permitted to enter a lawyer's office as an inden- tured student. He seems to have been leniently treated there, and had time to learn foreign languages, to read many books and to write poetry and imag- inative articles for journals and mag- azines. Prizes offered for essays and translations from Latin poets were won by him, and when at seventeen years of age be ptiblisbed his first book; "Clifton ' Grove ' and Other Poems," he found a public ready to welcome it. It appears that the advice and ar- gument of, a friend, afterwards the Rev,. R W. Almond, rector of St. Peter's Nottingham, prevailed upon him not to follow a common trend of young Hien at that time towards scepticism, His conflict of soul and his triumphant escape ...therefrom he embodied hi a poem which has since become a favorite hymn, entitled The Star of Bethlehem, beginning with the line, "When marshalled on the mighty plain." The wish grew within him to 'de- clare the glory of the Gospel story of deliverance, and his employers hearing that he was desirous of en tering the sacred ministry generous- ly freed him from his indentures, and used influence to gain hima univer- sity training, There was then at Cambridge an r evangelically inclined professor, the Rev. C Simeon, who was very an- xious to train more young men for the church's ministry. Upon hearing of Kirke White's wish, he induced, friends to help him defray his col- legiate expenses, and our rising young poet was entered as a student at St. John's College. There "his diligence and ability won hire special prominence among the students. He won many prizes and was about entering his third and fin- al year with the likelihood of obtain- ing the very highest honors, when his incessant studies broke down his health and he diet] in October, 1806, at the age of twenty-one. The poet -laureate Southey publish- ed his poems and other writings in a volume. entitled "Remains," with a finely written memoir of the young poet. The Rev. Josiah Conder, great- est hymn writer of the day and other poets wrote commemorative poems. The beautiful lines of Lord Byron are well known: "Unhappy White! while life was in its spring, And thy young music just waved her joyous wing, The spoiler swept that soaring lyre away, Which else had sounded an immortal lay. So the struck eagle, stretched upon the plain, Nor more through rolling clouds to' 1011011110.0101004.1111110.11110101111011101 AINED 11, Lbs. kit $ Wks Arlt a Boy Fed' writes Susan Stilizlo. 7l'lt*umr*ng* say new notated' Yeast adds a to 15lbs. in 3 swim. eldachapas like magic.

Some of his hymns quickly became popular, such as "0 Lord another day is flown," "Awake sweet harp of Ju. - d h, woke,;, "Christianistiai brethren ere we part," "When marshalled," .etc. The . most popular of all Kirke White's hymns, however, did not ap- pear in Southey's collection. It was in 1812 that the Rev. Dr. Collyer putt- lished a hymnal containing the first ten lines of the hymn as printed a- bove, with six lines added by Collyer himself. It appeared that he liad dis- covered Kirke- White's lines on the back of a paper which he had used to work out a mathematical problem. Thirteen years afterwards Mrs. Ful- ler -Maitland published in London a volume of "Hymns for Private De- votion," in which appeared our hymn. as printed above, thelines added to Kirke Wihte's being, by her daughter Frances Sara Fuller -Maitland., then; only fourteen years of age, a remark- able composition for one so young Bishop Bickersteth, a well-known: compiler of hymnals, altered the first word and the fourth line to the form. now employed in 1833,1 and W. J. Hall in his "Mitre Hymnbook" made the first line read, "Oft in danger, oft in woe," in 1836. It will be seen that' very little of Henry Kirke White's wording re- mains in the modern hymn, which owes its idea to him., but most of its merit to another youthful writer and. that a young lady! The well known sprightly tune, Un- iversity College, to which . the hymn: is usually sung, was composed for it by Dr. H. J. Gauntlett, who lived. from 1806 to 1876 and was a noted organist, composer and writer upon. musical subjects. 41121111111, `l! d o DoHrs To oU d s ? dy or I I811181111f8111Fbl l lE1112111 110 77i l! i Doesn't sound reasonable, does it?
