The multitude of boards, commissions and committees up of representatives of capitalists and workers, tioned during the war as semi-government organs. W.

Aided by Jeanne d'Arc, he had succeeded in freeing France from the English. Nevertheless bis influence was so much on the wane that he hastened his death by refusing to take nourishment for fear of @ plot to poison him. Among the most important was the establishing of a standing army and the enactment of a system of taxes. The taxes had been considered as extra reve nue, but Charles fixed them as a permanent institu: | tion from which the nobility and clergy were exempt. On the 22nd of July, in 1589, Henry III. of France was assassinated by a monk named Clement. With his death the House of Valets became extinct. The Valois had given 13 kings to France. As a race they were weak and incapable, and with them declined the old feudal system of France. In 1706, on the 22nd of July, the union of Scotland and England was signed. It was ratified by Queen Anne and the parliament, and went {nto operation on the first of May in the following year On the 22nd day of July, 1832, Napoleon II., son of Napoleon Bonaparte, died at Vienna at the age of 21 Francis Charles Joseph Bonaparte, Duke of Reich stadt and King of Rome, was the only son of Na-| poleon and Marie Louise of Austria.

The young Duke of Reich | stadt was a strong card in-the hand of Meternich, but in view of his early death from tuberculosis it was difficult to determine whether Austria was hold ing him as a pretender to the throne of France or whether he would have been doomed to have remained always a virtual prisoner of the Austrian cabinet. | "MEN CAN GIVE TO GOD ONLY THROUGH HUMAN MEDIUM “oe BY THE REV. CHARLES STELZLE Staff Writer on Religious Topics for The Star “The Lord loveth a cheerful giver*—the actual meaning of “cheerful” in the original is “hilarious.” “The Lord loveth a hilarious giver”—it should read.
