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."

SALEM'S PALMY DAYS.
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,

BOOKS WORTH THE READING
Distinguished English Educator Gives
His Idea of the Most Valuable
Quality of Fiction.
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.
