NEW GREAT SEAL TO MARK HISTORIC CHANGES Because of the coming into exist- ence of the Irish Free State and the recommendations of the Imperial Conference of 1926 a new Great Seal has come into existence with which King George tvi11 signify his will in all state hatters of the highest im- portance. The seal will be known not as were its predecessors as the great seal of the United Kingdom. but the great seal of the realm. At the death of each monarch a new seal is made and it becomes of all inani- mate instruments the most imuortant in government. It is the supreme warrant of kingly authority. and un- less it is affixed to certain documents they are without validity. Originally seals were used when one of the king-• ly arts was not that of penmanship and when. as a matter of fact, some of the rulers of mankind were un- able to read or write. Seals were carved then which would take the place of signatures. It was also pos- sible by means of the use of the the seal for the monarch to make known his will when he was absent or_ one of his visits, forays, wars or crus- ades, merely by entrusting the seal to one of his ministers or servants. which was in the days long before the invention of rubber stamps. There was a time when the great seal was regarded as having almost supernat- ural powers. It was believed that a king deprived of his seal was in the same position as a king deprived of his monarchy. and that no acts of his would be legal or binding. This idea was held by King James I•I, and when he fled at the approach of William, Prince of Orange, he took the seal with him believing that thus be made it absolutely impossible for William to ascend the throne or give any legal effect to his wishes if he did assume the crown. The seal was at the time in the custody of the Lord Chancellor, who is the heredi- tary guardian of it, and it was Lord Chancellor Jeffreys that James ob- tained it on the night of December 10th, 1688. He then stole out of Whitehall Palace by a secret way hoping to escape to France. He was disguised as a servant of Sir Ed- ward Hales, who accompanied him, and together they drove in a hackney coach to the Westminster horse ferry, where Lambeth Bridge now stands, and thence were rowed to Vauxhall where horses were waiting to take them to the coast. On the way across the king slipped the box containing the ring into the river, believing that with it he had sunk forever the for- tunes of the Prince of Orange. But history has taught us not to be unduly respectful of any opinions of James II and it need surprise no- body to learn that the trick failed. The Prince of Orange, unaware that a legal snare had been set in his path. continued his triumphal march and was proclaimed King of England with- out knowing that the missing seal would make it impossible, from the point of view of a strict legalist, that he should ever reign. It happened in a few weeks after the seal had been sunk that fishermen, plying their trade even at a time when thrones were- toppling and new dynasties be- ing established, found in their nets the strange box with the stranger contents. It was taken to the Prince of Orange, by this time acknowledged as King William, and used by him un- r W fie t#Z. an;R1ilter seal 'was made especially tar. him,' On another oceasion the great seal was stolen by a burglar who ransacked the, premises of the Lord Chancellor, but the progress of the chariot of state was uninterrupt- ed, and gradually the' idea began to spread abroad that, important though the great seal is, its accidental disap- pearance or destruction could not hamper public business. Impressions of the seal are attach- ed too such state documents as treat- ies with foreign powers, the creden- tials of ambassadors, to charters, to proclamations summoning, proroguing or dissolving parliament, for commis- sions for signifying in Parliament the royal assent to acts which have pass- ed both houses and to letters patent conferring peerages. The seal itself consists of twe heavy silver disc's hinged together, which, when closed, form a mould. Each of the two parts is smooth on the outside, and inside has an elaborate engraving. At the top is an orifice into the end of which a silken cord is first inserted and then the molten wax poured in. When the seal is opened there is fo9and on the wax beautiful impressions of the two). engraved surfaces. The great seals are made at the mint and usu- ally cost between 2400 'and 2500. Naturally they are of the most ex- quisite workmanship. In Victoria's reign no fewer than four great seals were made to take the place of those which had become worn out or slightly disfigured. King George's first great seal is said to have marked an interesting departure from precedent. He was shown on the reverse side of the seal not on horseback, as had been the immem- orial custom of English kings before him, .but on the deck of a man-of-war in -the uniform of an admiral of the fleet. On the obverse side he was re- presented as seated on the throne, crowned and wearing the royal robes. On the sides of the throne were nich- es with shields bearing the arms of the United Kingddm, and outside these niches were two figures repres- enting justice•and fortitude. On the reverse side of the seal, the motto "Dieu et Mon Droit" was inscribed on a transverse section of the deck of the dreadnaught, and below it three lanterns, the emblem of sn ad- miral of the fleet. In the new seal of the realm there is a• reversion to the old order, for on the reverse side the king is shown on horseback.

FLIPPANT YOUTH GREAT STATESMAN One memory of war days to a good many citizens of Toronto is the visit of Arthur Balfour in that city. There were men, no longer young, who heard him speak, who had remember- ed his name as almost a household word as long as they could remember. Indeed, for 56 years he was in the service of the state, never wholly out c f harness. But even after he had entered his seventh decade he seem- ed to be ableto defy the years. He looked scarcely less young than he must have looked a generation earl- ier. The stoop of the tall slim figure had been caricatured in youth but it was no more accentuated then. His clothes had been renewed from time to time, no doubt, but they seemed to be of the same general style that was common when he first entered public life. The eyeglasses might have been either for use or orana- ment. His little 'bow necktie suggest- ed an earlier civilization when ties were attached, to the collar button by a loop, or girdled the neck band on a thin elastic. The hands caress- ' ed the long coat -lapels as they had done as long as anyone in public life renvembered. He spoke with the care- less ease of a mean who is never at a • o� � Iou wisC11"14 ou onar? a No man of good appearance goes out without a collar... nor does he go about with dusty, unpolished shoes ...

If this grand old formula of a well known physician brings you the swift and satisfying comfort it has brought to dozens of others„ you surely will be thankful 'and very well pleased. If it dues not satisfy, the druggist that supplied you with "Urataubs" is authorized tto return your money on the first box purchased. This gives you a full 10 days' test of "Uratabs" without risk of cost unless pleased with results.

Once he said "speechify" but immediately correct- ed it to "speaking." Such *as Bal- four as he appeared in Toronto in lbli, with a great career behind him, and some great achievements still in the future. It is altogether possible that if Lord Salisbury had not happened to be his uncle Balfour's talent for statecraft would never have been discovered. But that relationship brought him rapidly forward in politics and when still largely an untried man put him in the difficult post of chief secretary for Ireland. No man less suited tempera- mentally to deal with the turbulence and revolt of the period could well have been imagined, but Balfour, who had been spoken of as "Miss Balfour" and "Clara," proceeded to- comport himself like Cromwell. It was not long before he was poularly known as "Bloody Balfour" and his iron -handed dealing with sedition caused him to be heartily cursed 'from one end of the disaffected district to the other. But his enemies were to admit that Balfour had been as fair as he was firm. Ins strength evoked admira- tion as well as execration. It was his course in Ireland which established his position with the Conservative party and made him, next to his uncle the most influential member of it. In opposition and as a member of the Government when Salisbury was Prime Minister, Balfour was house leader of his party, and in 1902 be- came Prime Minister, Joseph Cham- berlain was in his heyday in those years and there were those who though that he might have had the honor, and failing to receive it, might have led a revolt. But ('chamberlain, through his son, Austen, sent a mes- sage of loyalty to Balfour and there was no breach though in 1905 Cham- berlain's tariff proposal's split the party and sent it into opposition for ten years. When the war 'brought a- bout the coalition Government Bal- four had retired from the leadership of the Unionist party but served with Bonar Law. He was First Lord of the Admiralty and later on Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. In this position he probably exerted more in- fluence on world affairs than in any previous position he had ever held. It was when he was foreign minis- ter that he laid down the principle with regard to war debts which re- mains the British position to -day. It was that Great Britain wanted no greater part of the foreign war debts owing her than would extinguish her own war debt to the United States. Later he headed the British •mission to the Washington Disarmament Con- ference and with Mr. Hughes shared the honors of that memorable as- sembly. He also laid down the prin- ciples that are to be worked out by Jews and Arabs in Palestine. When Mr. Balfour accepted a title in 1922 it was generally understood that he was rather paying honor to his king and the peerage than that they were honoring' hire. Titles could have been his for the asking at any time in the preceding forty years. It is as Ar- thur Balfour that he will be remem- bered, the rather cynical, dawdling young man who had the courage of a lion and the detachment of a philoso- pher. While it could hardly be said that he was a type of public man commonly produced in the British Isles it can be said that nowhere ease are such men produced, and gradual- ly Mellowed and broadened from youthful eccentricities to a forceful, serious maturity that helped mould a nation's destiny. HOUSEHOLD DISCOVERIES When Housecleaning. In putting up net curtains this year using flat rods (as so many people do), I found it slow work. The rough ends of the rods frequently caught the net. I tried several ways, and at last used something that worked so well the* I thought I would like to pass it on. A small piece of one -half-inch ad- hesive plaster, a little longer than the width of the rod, stuck across the end of rod, turning down the ends of the plaster, enabled me to run the rods through the curtain's without further trouble. Tear the plaster off the rod after curtains are on. This works equally well on the end of round rods. When Removing Old Paper From Walls. 4 Lay old newspapers along the base, use a large cheap sponge, which holds the water better than a brush or cloth, and soak the paper well. When paper is then scraped, the scraps fall on the newspaper and can be gathered up and put in the garbage or burnt, leaving no dirt on the floor. Keeping Oil Dugteir. An oiled duster may be kept in a handy ,place, Sind yet be out of sight, by being placed in an empty baking powder tin.

It is extremely difficult to grow an. store potatoes in such a manner that they are entirely free from diseases and mechanical injuries when remov• ed from storage in the spring; but, by careful grading the majority of these undesirable tubers can be dis- carded before planting. If, however, Dominion Government Certified Seed is used, the best pos- sible results will be obtained because in order to pass the rigid inspection for this grade the seed must be true to type, free from cuts and bruises and contain a minimum of serious diseases. 'When selecting your seed potatoes for planting, discard all undersized tubers, they are apt to be the progeny of either mosaic or leafroot plants which always produce small unmark- etable potatoes. Avoid the use of ex- cessively elongated or pointed tubers, because this type is characteristic of a disease called spindle tuber, which is transmissable through the seed, and greatly reduces the yield of the crop. Remove all tubers that show any signs of rot, either wet or dry, because a number of organisms which exist in rotted; potatoes, when placed in the soil give rise to such destruc- tive diseases as late blight, black leg rhizoctonia and scab. When cutting seed before planting never use tubers showing internal brown netting or discoloured areas, because these sets may produce dis- eased plants in the field. If the best results are desired from the succeeding crop, plant only pota- toes •that are smooth, good type, uni- form in size and free from bruises rots or disease symptoms of any kind. If procurable always use Dominion Government Certified Seed. The Best Remedy For Backache and Headache SAYS MRS. A. FITZGERALD OF DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS Ontario Lady Found Them To Be Just the Remedy She Wanted.

On one occasion, while discussing a work of art, Whistler made a witty comment. "I wish I had said that," exclaimed Wilde. "You will, Oscar, you will!" Whistler reported. Beatrice Hereford, the famed mon- ologuist, appeared in London in her specialty for a while. One afternoon she had just stepped on the stage when a cat came in and sat down be- side her. The audience tittered. Qujck as a flash Miss Hereford call- ed sternly, "You get out. This is a monologue, not a catalogue!" ORIGINS In the winter in the country re- gions where horses are used, the roasts, especially on bills, are snow- p:cughed very poorly. Horses going along these roads would collect snow inside their horseshoes. This formed slowly, but surely, into balls of snow often as high as four inches. The horse would slip and the driver would sometimes have to get out and knock the snow off the horseshoes. This is the very singular origin of the ex- pression to be all balled up. In olden times the mender of ports, pans, etc., who was generally an itin- erant, used to proclaim his approach by beating on a kettle, and at his work he produced a "tinkling" sound when metal struck metal, hence' he was called a tinker. When he had a joint to solder he 'built a wall of mud, clay, dough or the like to retain the melted flux.

Whenever I hear a person using the expression "He'll never sot the Hudson river on fire" I know that he_ is substituting "Hudson river" for "the Thames." The origin of that phrase was given me by an octogen- arian Scott, some years ago. In olden times a prospective bride was expected to do a certain amount of spinning for her "hope chest." One feature of the old spinning wheel consists of a cylindrical peg -like bit of wood which projected from the side of the rim of the wheel. This was called the tems, When the wheel spun rapidly and continuously, this portion due to the friction thus produced, would become warm. Hence it was said of a maiden, not industtriously in- clined, "Oh, she'll never set the tems on fire!" From the time of the conquest to the 14th century, the language of England was in a very unsettled con- dition. Latin seems to have been us- ed in formal written( documents, while French was the spoken language of the Court and the nobility. Saxon was spoken universally by the lower orders, and even this ,varied so great- ly that the people of the south could Scarcely understand those of the north. The language of the Court could not, of course, be comprehended by the common people, who knew only Sax- on, and so a language suitable for proclamations and edicts was gradu- ally formed, and to distinguish it from mere dialects, it was called "The King's Engilsh." Chaucer and Gower, at this time were very much about the Court and learned this style of speech. They were the first writers to write in a speech which thencefor- ward was recognized as "The English Language."—"The King's English." When a knight was fully clothed in his armour and equipped with 211 his terrible weapons and went parading through the village, it required a very large horse to support him. The knight was said to be on his high horse, in contrast with the smaller -horse for hunting. From this has originated our saying that a person is on his high horse when displaying especial aggressiveness. When the Moors were masters of Spain their ships used to lay wait for merchant vessels coming through the Strait of Gibraltar bound for Italy, Greece and Egypt, in order to plundee them. These Moors wefe no fools and very wisely observed that it did not pay to kill the goose that laid the golden egg, so, to keep up the game as long as possible, they levieda sort of blackmail with a fixed scale of pay- ment on the value of the cargo after the ship had been taken into their hart'or of Tarifa—about 3'00 miles from Gibraltar. Thus originated the word tariff. Some people •still think the tariff is a hold-up after all these years of practice and sanction. It js said that Richard Turner, an Englishtemlperanee orator who had an impediment in his speech, would inkeriably speak of t -t -total absti- nence. In derision, his supporters were nicknamed teetotalers. Nowadays when .,one goes into a store to buy a yard of goods The sales= person measures the 'good's blY run- nilvg the edgof them through a ma- &ifia Whitt, ltgiisterd"*ff 8 "tiili1 est• i actly the length of goods run through the machine. This was not the case a few years ago before such machines were in- vented. In those days the salesper- son measured the goods by holding them on the counter between two brass tacks driven into the edge of the counter a yard apart. "Getting down to brass tacks" thus insured accuracy and forestalled dis- pute. In the thirties America was flooded with "wildcat" money, and counter- feiting was so common that suspicion became fixed .on almost all paper money. Through it all, however, the bank notes of the Citizens' Bank and Trust 'Company of New Orleans com- manded the respect of the whole of the Mississippi Valley and the remain- der of the country as well. In the days 'before the Civil War this bank's notes were printed in French as well as English. The most common de- nomination was the ten -dollar note, and it 'bore the Roman numeral "X" g,rld the Arabic numeral "10." But also in the middle of the back was printed the French word "Dix" amidst the •other lettering in French. The Mississippi River then was the great highway of traffic between New Orleans and the North, and in the argot of the river, when a man was headed' down 'South into Louisiana on a trading expedition, he was going to "Come back with a pocket full of Dixes." From "Dixes" to "Dixie" was an easy step. And the •Sourth, partic- ularly Louisiana, became known as "the land -of Dixies," or more briefly , as "Dixie land." In the 15th century when Italy was leading in the arts her cities were not slack in following. the lead of paint- ing and sculpture by creating the modes in fine. dress. None was more mighty in the sway of fashions than was the great duchy of Milan. So much did the world follow the lead of Milan that an inhabitant of the city, a Mlilaner, came td be a synon- ym for one well-dressed. So, to -day, we have our "milliners" who, in the general) specialization of vocations than has come with the machine age, now confine themselves mostly to hats. According to Percy S. Bullen, chief of the American correspondence staff of the London Telegraph, the use of high, as applied to slightly putrified meat and cheese, started back in the old days. When game was brought in from the hunt it was stored for fu- ture consumption by being suspended from a series of books or placed on shelves. When the cook wanted meat he went to the storage chamber and took down the nearest quarter of ven- ison or the most convenient part- ridges. Naturally, the game placed low in the hooks or shelves was used first. 'And when the cook had to get a stepladder and reach for the high meat—well, it was "high," that's all, Toward the end of the 18th century the game of graft was at its zenith in the British Navy. Admiral Hlood—a men well liked by his sailors—was called before the 'Courts to answer charges of misap- propriation.
