.? / ??? MMfcafc EXPLAINED BY GREAT MAN Bismarck Gave a Lucid Explanation of tho Diplomatic Phraao, a Entente Cordlalo. In the newspapers of today we very often tiud the words "entente cordiale." Moat readers understand the mean Lug of the expression, but it ia rather difficult to make a trans i. ? luuvji IUUI rA]acNC9 IUC cAuri jutruniog of tlie original French, says the Youth's Companion. Prince Bisruarck gave a good explanation when his daughter asked him what the entente cordiale really was. "Well,"' he said, "it is not so easy to define literally. It means a cordial understanding, hut it also has a little different significance. For example: You were in the courtyard this morning when I came from the garden with Nero; Diana was in the yard, gnawing a large hone. My Nerd saw her, and ran to seize the hone. Then there was a little fight, uuiil I struck them a few sharp blows with my cane. After that the hone lav iu the middle of the court-, while both dogs stood off at some distance aud looked eagerly at it. Kach dog. iu fact, was as anxious to keep the other awav as he was afraid of mv cane, and, therefore, neither ventured to seize it. You see, that is what they call in diplomatic circlet ail entente cordiale." HAD PREFERENCE FOR CITY Old Sam Learned Msaning of Patriot Ism and It Caused Him to Do a LKtla Thinking.

One hundred years ago one of the busiest seaports oii the Atlantic coast was Salem, the historic Massachusetts city which a few weeks ago was visited bv a terrific fire. During the war of 1812 Salem was the favorite port for American privateers. Probably two-score of these predatory vessels hailed from Salem, and, when the war was ended, few of the inhabitants of the little city were unable to tell some tale of personal adventures, cruising against the enemy. In fact, Salem had the honor of receiving the first prize captured on the ocean after the declaration of war. 1 lien the whole town turned out to greet anil cheer the captors. But. long ih'fore the war whs closed, the appearance of a prize in the harbor was such a common occurrence that it created little excitement, LITERALLY.

Lord Brvco, speaking at lite Foundation day at Mill school, spoke about books worth reading. Addressing his remarks to pupils of the school who were going out into the world, he said that what they had all got to do. and what the schools and universities ought to do. was to cultivate the habit of thinking. They spent a good deal of time on reading. especially on read in p uewspajK.*r3. but that did not mean' thinking. They spent a good (leal of time on business, but a great deal of business effort was eomparat'vely mechanical and rule of thumb. What he meant was something different?that they should apply their minds lo questions which did not concern their business, but in which, as good citizens and intelligent human beings, they ought to be occupied. There was a good deal of fiction well worth reading, but no work of fiction was worth reading if it did not set them thinking, and unless it was a l)ook which contained vivid pictures of character, reflections and suggestions which were worth pondering over, and pictures of the man hits oi society, whether of old times or of today. Anything which stimulated their thought was worth reading. If one cultivated the hooks which stimulated the habit of thinking one had a source of pleasure that went on continuously throughout life.?Public Opinion, London. "How was your vacation, Patrice?"
