Mrs. Delch made her pet cat mad by removing thrée kittens. The feline flew at her.. Mrs. Delch sought ald of New York trolman ' Prime Minister of this country, a suf- ficient onerous position at the best of ~ and probably less enviable than any position that you are des- tined to oceupy. Lord Liverpool, as I say, was Prime Minister for fifteen years. He was harrassed and he was torn by Cannings and Eldons and all sorts of colleagues, as many Prime Ministers are apt to be, and he had a very ardu- ous time of it, But what he said was this -- that the only secret by which he was en- abled to go on through his arduous pilgrimage 'of fifteen years was his practice, regularly renewed and never omitted, of reading for half an hour or an hour before he went to bed in Some sbranches of literafure wholly unconnected with his political admin- istrative pursuits. Now that was the experience of a hard-working man-- there was no harder-worked man probably of bis time--and I venture to recommexd it to you. - My words may not come home to you at this moment when recreation may more probably. take the form, and a very 'wise' form'\too, of athletic pursuits, But even in.these days of youth and bud and hope, when life Js so large and easy comparatively 'hefore you, it would not be a bad plan to try the germ of a little liter- ature, to begin the practice even to a limited, extent, because, believe me, the time will come when you will become a little short of wind---when your legs won't carry you uphill quite swiftly as they do uow, when they will even e¢ease to feel very vigorous ox the flat, When that unfortunate comes--depend upon it, it will come ~you will find the want of some re- source in the place of that football which knews you no more. Ister came into my mind, the famous Sir 'Robert Walpole, who was Prime Minister for two and twenty years, longer than Lord Liverpool. Well, he was compelled to retire by a hostile vote of the House of Commons, and retired as an elderly man of past six- ly to his country place, and there he found himself utterly wretched. He had lost entirely the habit of long twenty-two years of office, and he found himself, so to rmeak, on his beam ends without occupation, abso- lutely disconsolate, only able to look back repiningly to his past grandeur and power, and so lost all the com- forts that his wiser successor had provided for himself. I do not know that itewill he an additional stimulus to impress my two examples upon you to remind you that Lord Liverpool, who read for an hour or half an hour every night before he went to bed, died in office, while Sir Robert Walpole, who had not acquired that habit, died out of office. I do urge you, now that you are members of the University of Glasgow and have to. look beyond technical pursuits; from that.point of view to begin the habit of reading, small it may be, reading for its own sake, however small a time you can give to it now. Qt. . A King's Criticism. Perhaps the most candid criticism of a King'c Speech" was one uttered by a King himself. There is that sto*y of George IIL. wha, leaving the Lords after opening Parliament, turned to his Lord Chancellor, with the remark, "Lord Chancellor, did 1 deliver the Speech well?" "Very well, indeed, sir," was the reply. "I am glad of that," said the King, 'for there was nothing in it." George II., too, did not always feel himself bound to praise his Ministers' efforts. In 1756, for instance, when a spurious speech was circulated, he pleaded for mercy for the printérs of it because, he said, 'he had compared the spurious with the real, and so far as he could un- derstand either, he "infinitely prefer- red the former to his own." Gruesome Relic of Ashanti. Lt.-Gen. Sir R. 8. S. Baden-Powell has give to the museum of the Royal United Service Institution in White- hall a very interésting, if rather grue- some, relic of the Ashafiti expedition of 1896. It is the brass bowl used to receive the heads of the unforun- ate victims of King Prémpeh. The bowl, which resembles an ordinary bathtub in appearance aad size, is about five feet in diameter, On the rim are four small lions, rather clov- erly modelled, and a number of knobs, evidently intended as an orna- mentation.
