SENATE SWAYED BY YOUTHS Conspicuous Examples of Precocity Furnished by the British Commons, the Mother of Parliaments. For a long time it has been a British boast that the house of commons Is the most widely representative of all legislative bodies, since it includes not only all social grades, but numbers among its membership men of all ages, from the mere youth to the octogenarian. So long ago as the year 1613 there were 40 legislators in the commons who had not attained their twentieth year, and, incredible as it may seem, certain of these were only sixteen years of age. Edmund Waller, the poet and courAf fihiorf Have was A srhoolbov Of sixteen when he qualified as a M. P. He was, as Clarendon says, "nursed in parliament," and probably furnished the only instance of a man who conld look back upon two-thirds of a* century to his debut as a legislator." Charles James Fox was but nineteen when he was "returned" to parliament for the "pocket borough" of Midhurst He was not many weeks older when he made one of the finest "maiden speeches" ever heard at Westminster. "I heard it spoken of by everybody as a most extraordinary thing," his father wrote to a friend, "and I am not a little pleased with it" Chesterfield was a legislator at twenty, when he entered the commons. His first speech is said to have "electrified the house." His triumph was, however, undiminished by the circumstance that as he was not yet of age he was liable to a heavy fine for speaking in the house. More precocious yet was William Pitt Although he had passed his twenty-first birthday when Appleby sent him to parliament he had within a few weeks after the taking of his seat established himself as the keenest debater and the finest speaker in the commons. Upon the conclusion of his "maiden speech" a member of the . opposition was reported to have ob served to Fox: "Pitt win De one 01 the first men in parliament." "He is so already," replied Fox. ! Pitt was scarcely twenty-three when he was made chancellor of the exchequer. At twenty-four he was prime minister. End to "Hotel of Kings." The Hotel Bristol, nicknamed1 "the hotel of kings," and considered the Ihost select in Paris, is now no more r hut the remembrance of a brilliant and picturesque past. Founded in 1867 by | a British subject, Mr. Morlock, whose i son is still the head of the firm, the , i hotel soon after the war of 1870 was | \ patronized by King Edward V|I, then prince of Wales, whose photographs with autograph signatures can be seen In the hotel's salons, some from his early youth when he wore a square black beard, and others belonging to t later period with the small pointed beard which gave so much finesse to his humorous smile. King George of Greece, King Leopold of Belgium, both dubbed "old Parisians," Queen Alexandra, King . George and Queen Mary, the king of the Belgians and many others have been ? ? ?1 a# +Jia RiHcrtnl among me ruym gucoio vi wv And there it was, too, that Don Carlos, king of Portugal, was Introduced to his ftature bride, Princess Amelie, by the then prince of Wales.

V A popular tree at Spartansburg, 8. ..jX? the top of which was shot ofT during the Fourth of July celebration In 1832, has been entered in the hall of fame for trees which is being compiled bj the American Forestry association. From Lisbon, O., comes the nomina" tion of the tree under which the Indians and white settlers came to an agreement regarding iron ore to be . used in making kettles. Ralph G.Smith of Circleville, O., enters the : Logan Elm in that city. C. C. Royce - nominates the Sir Joseph Hooker Oak at Chico, Cal. General Sherman esti*. mated that 7,000 men could stand in the shade of this tree. A. D. Dart nominates the "Largest Live Oak" in the South, at Brunswick, Ga., known to be a veteran In 1?63. It has a circumference of 26 feet. . Fatal Farrflne After Feast A play, a dance and a feast, winding up a season of plenty, was responsible for the near extermination of the Quigillingok tribe of natives last winter and spring, according to John H. Kilbuck, superintendent of schools for ' the Kushokwim River (Alaska) dis met. The famine following the feast, Mr. Kllbuck said In his annual report to the bureau of education, caused the deaths of at least 42 of the natives, and would have wiped out the entire had not missionaries come to the rescue with a meager supply of food. It will be years, Mr. Kllbuck declared, before the Quigillingoks recover from the effects of their generosity. Mint Established Record. The Philadelphia mint shattered coinage records in 1919. Domestic coinage totaled 500,915,000 pieces, as compared with 367,845,006 In 1918. Coinage for foreign countries amounted to 90,529,195 pieces, compared with 28,480,000 in 1918.
