Plaint of Wife of Famous Statesman " Was That She Was Deprived of His Company. ‘Mrs. Gladstone, wife of William E. Miss Glynne”—the very essénce of tact and diplomacy, the typical wife of a statesman, who never sald too . 'much and always enough, and who ‘guided her distinguished husband with Just the right proportion of firmness . and gentleness, Mr. and Mrs, Gladstone were mar- rled happily for more than half a cen- tury, and at their golden wedding Mr. Gladstone ‘paid fitting tribute to her success as a wife. - “Words fail me,” he sald, “in ex- pressing the debt I owe my wife in relation to all the offices she has discharged during the long and happy period of our conjugal union.” The one drawback to Mrs. -Glad- Stone’s complete happiness during her marriage was the enforced frequent absence of her husband. She used to tell her friends that when Mr. Glad- stone was in oftice and in London dur- _ing the season she considered it a great treat to be invited to a friend’s house to dinner with him. If possi- ble, she would sit next him at dinner. “Then,” she said, ruefully, “it is at least possible for me to have some conversation with my husband. Oth- erwise I see nothing of bim.” FIT MATE FOR GREAT MAN Wife of President Mohroe Famous on Two Continents for Her Diplo- f macy and Tact. Elizabeth Kortright, wife of James Monroe, fifth President of the United States, and framer of the Monroe doc- trine, was in every way suited for the + position of Madame President. Digni- fied, almost courtly, well educated and accustomed to the soclety of states- men, Elizabeth Kortright, when she & married ‘Mr. Monroe in 1786, was ade- quately prepared to assume the re- sponsibility of her high estate. In 1794, when her husband was sent as United States minister to France, Mrs. Monroe ‘accompanied him on this most important and delicate mission, and acquitted herself with all the grace and tact that such a situation demanded. Again in 1803, when Mr. i Monroe was once more sent to Paris 4 as the American representative and consummated the Loulsiana purchase, his wife made her gracious and influ- ential presence felt in many ways. And she had power, too, as is testi- fied to by her intercession in the cause of Madame de Lafayette, who was incarcerated in the prison of La Force, hourly awaiting execution. Mrs. Mon- roe, through her tact and diplomacy, was able to effect the velease of the distinguished Frenchwoman, | ' Ancient Weights and Measures. ' The earliest mentlon of welghing Is Yound in the Bible, and the first re- ' | corded instance of welghing is that g mentioned in the Book of Genesis (XXIIT, 15, 16) when Abraham weighed to Ephron the Hittite, 400 sHekels of silver for the field and cave of Machpelah, Job prayed to be $weighed in an’ even balance,” and “just balances, just weights,” are divinely commanded in Leviticus. On the pictured walls of Egyptian pyra- mids and sepulchral chambers the gods are frequently portrayed weighing the souls of the departed in the balance, so that from the earliest dawn of clvilization scales appear to have been fn use. Weights and measures in the more modern sense, are attributed to Pheldon, tyrant of Argos, 895 B. C. 14 i Spring Shrubs Blooming in Fall. The fall blooming of trees and ghrubs which ordinarily bloom only in the spring, is not an uncommon oc- rcurrence. However, it is only after rather unusual growing seasonnl con- ditions that much of it is noted.

DEFENDS THE “DIME NOVEL” Canadian Writer Points Out That at Least It Shunned the “Sex Stuff” Now Common. This is not a plea for the return of the dime novel. In fact, we fear that the dimie novel can never come back; they don't sell anything for a dime! any more. All in all, however, the only thing about the dime novel that | was ds bad as it was painted was the ! cover. M of us remember much tmt was pleasaat about . the old “pa-; pér cover” that flourislied in the 808 and '00s. Under Diamond Dick we gang-fought all sorts of thugs and bad wmen; with 0ld King Brady we de- tected the bank robber with our de- tectors hitting on all six; we ‘rode with Buffalo Bill as he put the Indian sign on Indians, that were at least supposed to be bad. Sometimes it | was rough stuff, but at that it was rarely that more than one throat a} day was, cut or more than a pint of | gore left clinging to the deftly-re- moved scalp. We remember that in the end Virtue (spell with a capital V, please) always triumphed and that honesty, if not the best policy, didn’t do anybody any harm. The much- abused dime novel, it will have to be said, tended the young shoots of the imagination in many a creaky wood- shed loft and in many a sheltered spot behind the cedar fenee. As we remember the dime novel, we are unable to recall one bedroom scene, one neglected wife, one young | heroine sobbing in her pink boudoir because she ix not understood, onc nasty sex problem. Which may lead some of us to think that the dime novel had nothing to fear in com- parison with the $2 novel.—Manitoba Free Pre: Gratitude in Strange Garb. Rishop W. R.

Concerning the Brain, Whether a person’s brain becomes larger after intellectual development is still a disputed question. Smith Ely Jelifie, an authority on. the subject, says: “Weight of brain, however, has no direct relationship with intelll- gence, as idlots’ brains are known to have weighed just as much as those | of the ablest men. Intellectual ca- pacity consists in the great multi- plicity of nerve cell connections, While it is true that a number of celebrated men of recognized brain power have had large brains, there are many more of equal capacity whose brain weights bave not been-remarkable,” E I found in} The plctures’in a home are apt to suffer from the lack of attentlon which in time detracts from thelr appearance.
