THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG THE KING'S POET. History of Unique Office In England. It is three hundred and seven years | ago since the office of Poet Laureate was instituted, and since that time sixteen writers have received this unique honor. Ben Jonson was appointed Poet Laureate on February 1st, 1616. Pre- viously many men had been publicly acknowledged to be supreme among the poets of their day, but it was not | until the year of Shakespeare's death | that an official post was created. | The list of Poets Laureate contains The second | was Bir William Davenant, who was the first theatrical manager to intro-, duce actresses on the stage. - Before, his time all parts were played by! men.

In Wordsworth's time the salary | dropped to £99 a year. The present! holder of the office is Dr. Robert Bridges. t Although the office has been occu- | pied by many distinguished men, | quite a number have geclined the honor, Gray and Sir Walter Scott! among them. Wordsworth also re-| fused the post, but afterwards was | | induced to change his mind. Not all Laureates have had peace- | ful lives. Three were deposed and | two were thrown into prison. An-| other died while suffering imprison- ment for debt. ---------------------- The Governor and the Bishop. The island of Saint Lucia in the! West Indies used to be remarkable! for its high death rate. The place | was unwholesome and depressing; a visitor was pretty sure to become homesick sooner or later, if not at | once. In 'The Cradle of the Deep" | Sir Frederick Treves tells an amus-| ing story of an English governor of a | century ago, who was noted for his parsimony. It seems that one day the bishop of the diocese landed at Castries in the course of his tour. | | Etiquette required that the governor | should offer him the hospitalities of | , the Government House during his | | stay. After the bishop had had his first meal the governor showed him | round the house and did the honors | in this fashion--"This, my dear It was! predecessor died of yel- | You will remember him, | here that my low fever. a most genial man.

He ordered his horse | and rode off into the town, determin- | ed to find a more salubrious, even if less magnificent, shelter. ------------ Burns 'the Philosopher. 'Burns was naturally 'a student gifted with a great mind," says Dr. | J. L. Hughes in "The Real Robert | Burns." "His splendid mind was | trained to act logically by his re- | markable father, and quickened and | illuminated by his great teacher, | John Murdock. "He was a great philosopher, not! merely because he read Locke's 'Essay on the Human Understanding' when a boy, but because during his short life he read with Joyous inter- est many books of a philosophical | character, and what is of infinitely greater importance, he interpreted all he read with an independent mind, and related all truth as he understood it to human life. He could discuss even the principles of Spinosa and "venture into the daring path Spinoza trod.' Yet, as he told Dr. Candlish, of Edinburgh, he merely 'ventured in" to test Spinoza's phil osophy, which he soon found to be inadequate to the true development of the human soul, and therefore he 'was glad to grasp revealed religion.' "Not merely as a poetic gentus but as a profound philosophic teacher of religion, democracy, and brotherhood --the most essentially vital elements related to the highest development of the souls of men and women--will the real Robert Burns become known as he is more justly and more aeeply studied." . { ---------- Will Go to Eton.

BRING BACK THE QUAIL | _ Encourage this Splendid Game | _ Bird on the Farm. | How We Lost Our Quail -- Most | Birds Are Friends of Farmers-- | Quail Destroy Weed Seeds and Insects--How to Entice Them | Back. (Contributed by Ontario Department of | Agriculture, Toronto.) Why not have lots of quail? When they were plentiful we had a great | deal of first-class gunning. By gun- ning overmuch and not protecting them in the winter, we have almost lost the Bob-White of our boyhood. | Now we have the potato bug and! gun for it with paris-green. Why ! not have the quail, plus the sport of { gunning, back, and get rid of some | of these potato bugs at the same | time? | How We Lost the Quail. In the old days the farm boy shot a few Brace of quail. The city sport came out, and a few brace were not enough for him. Further and fur- ther afield you had to go. The brush heaps, natural shelter for the quail, were cleared up and burned. Every foot of ground was cleared for the plough or for pasture. | Then when the heavy snows came, | followed by sleet, there was less and | less shelter. The hard crust stayed | | on the snow for two or three days, | and whole bevies were starved or | frozen. It was an unequal fight | against man and nature. Nature alone could be fought, but when man | too was to be contended with, the! quail gave up the ghost. Most Birds Are the Farmers' Friends. The question is, do you wish them back? I believe you will when you give it a little thought. You, to-day, are fighting an uphill fight against insects and weeds. Each hour you spend in this way is a distinet loss. Why not gain these hours? You do not have to lose them. Our police- men of the air can do a much better job than you can, and will charge you nothing except a little attention. Let us very briefly take up the general question of loss from insects and noxious weeds, and in this con- nection show what the birds we now have are doing. In the United States the annual loss is computed at $800,- 000,000. What percentage of this could be saved if the bird population was normal? Our bird population to- might be. 3 To give a concrete example: It is estimated that the State of Massa- chusetts, with an area of 8,000 square miles, has not less than five useful birds to the acre, or a bird population of 25,600,000. From ob- servation and dissection, a conserva- tive estimate of the number of in- sects consumed by each insectiverous bird is one hundred per day. That means the consumption of the enor- mous total of 2,660,000,000 insects. This means the daily consumption of chiefly obnoxious insects in Massa- chusetts is 21,000 bushels. Quail Destroy Wed Hoods ~and One-half of the quail's food con- sists of weed seeds, one-fourth of and about fifteen per cent. of insects. The insects chiefly consumed are po- bugs, wire worms, etc. In winter they kinds of noxious weeds. A conservative esti- mate of amount of food eaten each day would be two ounces. Can you see how your potato bugs would dis- appear if the Bob-White were plen- tiful? The United States Department of Agriculture states that each quail on the farm is worth $20 to the farmer. Now comes the question of again having these birds plentiful. It can- not be done in a day, nor must you expect it in a year. There are some quail left. There may be a few on your farm. Protect them. They are worth gold dollars to you. Allow no hunting whatéver. As you have seen, outside of hunt- ing, the lack of shelter and feed dur- ing, and after winter storms, is the chief cause of the disappearance of this valuable bird! How to Entice the Quail Back. Place heaps of brush in the fence corners. Plant a Virginia Creeper, or Wild Cucumber seed, and instead of a brush heap, it will become a beauty spot. On the brush heap or a i stump place several forkfuls of buck- | wheat straw, unthrashed. This will mat together and make a perfect pro- tection, as well as supply food. Tie a number of corn stalks around a small tree or stake, in a protected situation. Leave an opening facing south. Scatter oats, wheat, bpck- wheat, chaff, barn-sweepings, around, most of it inside the shelter, with a few leads running some distance away. Do it now. Get the quail coming to the grain. When a storm comes, they will make for the shelter. Never neglect it, especially in stormy weather and particularly after sleet storms. Remember what it is worth to you. In the spring, sow some buck- wheat and rye in the fence corners, around your shelters. Let it ripen there. Quail are very fond of it and will remember it when the storms of winter prevent them feeding else- where. They, too, are most likely to breed near their winter feedin stations. M Become as Tame They ny e " The beautiful little Bob-White! Do you know that if they are protected, they will become almost as tame as chickens. They will wander amongst your potato patch and repay you many times over for the attention you have given them. And if they ever become too plentiful, why, quail on toast is hard to beat. Think it over. Potato bugs or quail.--H. R. Ivor, Honorary Game Officer, M. B. C. A, Toronto. ---------------------- Freeborn McCabe, Green Point, has bought 8. B.

We know all about that rallant colonel, the "bottle-scarred veteran,' | of a famous misprint, who, naturally annoyed at this imputation on his sobriety, received an apology; only tc | be worse off than before. 1 "Of course," said the offending | Journal, H "when, by an unfortunate error we referred to him as a 'bottle-scarred' veteran, it must have been evident that what we intended was 'battle scare®. x A curious printers' error was that { in the Cambridge Chronicle, where a paper read before a local society on "Rings under the Eaves of Old Houses," in connection with fire-pre- ! vention, was printed, 'Rings under the Ears of Old Louses." This error is still to be found in the files. 'Write clearly" is an injunction! rarely followed. | The author who, with crabbed cali- | graphy, wrote of "zigzag" staircases had only himself to thank when they | appeared as "218209" staircases. In a recent issue of a very serious' magazine, which contained an article on a famous public man, the latter is made to says: "While under no illusion as to the heads of them asses" should have been 'the masses," of course. Not long ago, Sir Alfred Mond was the victim of one of these typographi- cal errors. It is well known that he. is of the Jewish race. A report of a' speech he had made represented him to have said that "the ills from wnich | we suffer will not abate until the na- tion returns to pork. The porkers should be made to understana this truth." | It is understood that great excite- | ment prevailed in certain circles un-| til it was caplained that this disas-| trous statement was the result of an | unfortunate double misprint. The reference was, of course, to | the national need of getting back to | "work," not "pork," and it was the workers, and not the pigs, who were to be made to comprehend the neces- | sity. i The World's Dietary. i A well-known English medical | authority recently circularized the | various embassies and legations of | foreign countries with a view to as- | certaining the dietary of the peasant class, any particular national towlx | ht what part meat forms in the daily dietary, and upon what dietary the! stamina of The respective nations are | built. * The Austrian reply states that, as formerly, the larger part of | the population is rural, and with the | peasantry vegetation food prevails. | | Thus, it might be said that the stam- | ina of that nation was built up on a vegetarian basis. The reply from the | Chilean authorities is 1.at in the agricultural districts of South and | Central Chile wheat flour, kidney beans, and maize form the principal | part of the workingmen's food, and | meat is seldom partaken of. This | has been the custom for generations. | The German Embassy mentions that! meat does not form an important part of the dally dietary of the Ger- man nation at present, while the Nor- | wegian Minister replies that meat | cannot be said to form an important | Part of the daily food of the Nor-| weglan people. The consumption of | meat in Russia, it is stated, is in-| significant. Besides, there are four | Lents during tke year, which cover | about four and a half months of each year, and, in addition to this, all Wednesdays and Fridays are fasting days, and no meat, egss, milk, or butter are generally consumed by the Peasants during Lents or fasting days. In'the course of other replies, it 1s stated that meat is scarcely con- sumed at all by the peasants of Rou- | mania, while the, peasant class in Serbia, which ifepr t about 80 to! 86 per cent. of the whole population, lives chiefly on boiled beans and oth- | er vegetables. Flesh meat does not form an important part of the daily dietary in Spain, Portugal, or Japan. | England's Cleverest Counties. | Which English county has produc- | ed the greatest number of notable men?
