Of the 172 clusters of ruins discov- ered, two sets represent what were once large and prospcrous cities, of about one-half million inhabitants each. Doubtless at different times each one of these two cities was the capl-, tal of the country. King Names British Premier, The premier or prime minister of Great Britain is nominated by ‘the reigning sovereign, to form a cabinet and organize the government. The ap- pointment of a premier does not have; to be confirmed by parliament, but noj i prime minister could carry on the government of the country for any length of time who did not possess the confidence of the house of com- mons. He selects his colleagues or other members of the cabinet, and his resignation dissolves the ministry. Members of the British house of lords hold their seats by virtue of hercdi- tary rank and titles, some of which were conferred by sovereigns hundreds of years ago. Canada has no repre- has a parliament and government of its own with a governor general, ap- pointed by the king of Great Britain. Price, One Bottle. The movie, or “cinema” as it is called there, has become an extraordi- nary social influence in England. In the villages which have grown up around the “coal-pits,” in which many of the houses consist of only ‘one room, and lack -all-the evidences of civilization, one can always be sure of: finding a public house and a “cine- ma.” Some of the proprietors of these cinemas do not charge:a coin for ad- mission in the case of children, In- stead of money, the child presents a bottle, which is sold to the manufae-| turer of liquor, and afterward returned to the public house of the same village, | to begin again its round to the parent} of the child, to the movie, to the dis- tillery and back to the saloon.—Chris- tian Herald. Tr r7 tem matings Romans Liked Cock Fighting. In the New Testament the cock is Qlentioned in reference to the denial of the Lord and indirectly in the “cock- crowing.” There is no mention in the Old Testament of the cock or hen, These domestic birds were known to the early Greeks an® Romans and probably were introduced by the Ro- mans into Palestine. It is said that these birds were prized by the Romans both as food and for cock, fighting. Daily Optimistic Thought. Youth is the period of probation for old age. WAR WAS.STARTED BY WOMAN. Civil Conflict in England Dated From Tite Jenny Geddes Threw Stool | at Bishoo’s Head. ' ’ ee | upon in churches, and which was cast at the hend of the dean of St. Giles in’ Edinburgh, may be sald to have marked the beginning, of the civil war. fn England which ended with the, ~ downfall of Charles II took place on July 23, 1637. It will! be remembered that James I contrived! to introduce bishops into the Scottish church. His son, Charles J, desired’ to go still further and introduce a book of canons and a liturgy. Archbishop Laud, whose tendencies were toward ‘the Roman Catholie church, backed him in his project. Between them they prepared a,service book, and the order went forth to have it read on a certain Sunday fn all the churches fn Scotland, The Scotch, however, declined to have their religious service tampered with. When the day came for reading the new sérvice book few of the clergy '| were willing to proceed with it, such was the opposition among the people. In the principal church of Edinburgh, the chancel of the old cathedral of St. Giles, which contained seats of the Judges, magistrates and other authort- ties, the liturgy was formally intro- duced under the auspices of the bishop, dean and other clergy. There were no pews in those days, each person bringing his own stool to church with him. When Bishop James, Hannan started to read the service, one Jenny Geddes arose and threw her stool at the good man’s head. So started the first outbreak fn a conflict that was to have Important results. IT’S THE SAME OLD WORLD Letters of Deserted Wife to Husband, Written 2,000 Years Ago, Unearthed In Ancient Ruins, A wife’s letter 2,000 years old wad unearthed recently in the ruins of the Scrapoum, the temple of Memphis, the great city of ancient Egypt. The letter was written by Isias to her husband, Icphaestion, who had deserted her. There were two letters, in fact, the first bearing a date equivalent to July 24, 160 B. C. In them the wife re proaches her husband for neglect ot his family and, what ts particularly interesting at the present time, she complains of the high cost of living. Here are some extracts from the first letter: “Isias to Hephaestion, her husband. Greetings—If .you are well and other things-are turning out with you according to your wishes, it would be as I perpetually pray the gods. I myself am in good health, and the child and all in the house .make mention of you continually. When I received your letter from Horus, in which you explained that you were in retreat in the Serapoum at Memphis, I imme- diately gave thanks to the gods that you were well. But that you do not return distresses me. For having pt- loted myself and your child through such a crisis and having come to the last extremity because of the high cost of corn, and thinking that your return would bring me relief, you have never even thought of returning or spared a look for my helpless ‘state.” Happiness. The true happiness is of a retired natures and an enemy to pomp and noise; it arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one’s self; and in the next, from the friendship and conver- sation of a few select companions; It loves shade and solitude, and naturally haunts groves and fountains, fields and meadows; in short, it feels everything it wants within itself, and receives no "addition from the multitudes of wit- nesses and spectators. On the con- trary, false happiness loves to be in a crowd, and to draw the eyes of the world upon her. She does not receive sfaction from the applauses which she gives herself, but from the admi- ration which she raises in others, She flovrishes in courts and palaces, thea: ters and assemblies, and has no exist: ence but when she is looked upon.— Addison. é Flagmaker’s Art an Exacting One. The flagmaker’s art is an exacting one and many modern descendants of Betsy Ross are employed by the Brook- lyn flag master. Much skill is re- quired to make such a flag as that of Venezuela, which has a prancing horse upon it. A special machine has been desigaed for cutting the white stars used in our own flag. These are of eight sizes, and every year many thou- sands of such stars go into flags made by government employees. These stars vary from _two inches to fourteen inches in diameter.
