JOHNSON NOT FIRST IN FIELD Contrary to Wide Belief, There Was an English Dictionary Before He Complied His. Tlie oldest Knplldh dictionary Is not that by Imetor Johnson, as so many f!jjtnr to think.

Kinds of Stage Humor. Th. French, who have an armory of crhlral terms both more exact and more nhundnnt than ours, distinguish bctwtn three different kinds of stage huruor, Brander Matthews writes in Munsey's. There Is, first of all, the mere witticism, the sentence laugha ble la Itself, the so-called "epigram;" ami this they term the "mot de'esprit." Second, there Is the phrase which de rives Its comic effect not from Itself, but from Its utterance at a given mo ment In the movement of the story; and this they term the "mot d'esprlt.". situation." Thirdly, there Is the word or sentence whereby a character ex presses himself unexpectedly and characteristically, unconsciously turu t.. . fiashllirht on the unexplored re- j cesses of his own soul; and they are wont to call this the "mot ie carac- etfiyp re ckartforyour cat Our Board of Lubrication Engineers has deter mined the correct consistency of ZeroJkne for your mke of car.

Nova Scotia may lay claim to be ing the earliest colonized land In North America, with the exception of Bt. Au gustine. Fla., where the Spanish es tablishment was made as early as 1508, Port BoyaL now the tittle) town Annapolis, was founded In 1604. three years before the English settled nt Jamestown. The brave French pioneers found It necessary to ans pend tholr colony for three years, but the settlement was re-established In 1610 by a group of Aeadlans. The Aeadlans were In almost con stant conflict with, the English. The colony fell Into the hands of the Bng Meh twice, and was rtch time returned to the French before the English final ly captured It ta 1710. The Aeadlans remained steadfast ta ffcelr hopes that French rule would some day return, hut their hope was destined never to he realized. They, howerer, persisted l: maintaining theft- Identity even against the En g! bra Insistence that they abandon their allegiance to their mother country. The descendants of the Aeadlans, numbering 800,000, are to be found In Maryland, Virginia, the Carolines, Georgia and Louisiana. When the Aeadlans were expelled from the Basin of Monas, Orand Pre, when they re fused to take the oath of fealty to the English sovereign In 1765, many of them escaped to the wilderness and latpr drifted back to their former homes only to find them occupied by new settlers from New England states. DEEP RESPECT FOR SABBATH Writer's Recollection of How Day Used to Be Observed When He Was a Small Boy. My mother wns horn and reared In a little country village In western New York. On the fnnn where my grand mother lived, It was the custom to be gin Sunday on Snturday night t sundown. The "hired man" come In from the chores, grandmother put nwny all her work In the kitchen, and then the entire family gathered In the best room and studied the Sunday school lesson, or had a reading from the Hihle, led hy grandfather, and all the family retired not later than nine o'clock. In the morning after doing, none but the absolutely necessary chores on the farm, the tnra that had not been used the day before wns hitched up to the big four-seated wagon and the entire family, Including the "hired" help, went to church. There was preaching serv ice In the forenoon, and then we ad journed to a lunch for ourselves and the team. Then we went in to a Bun day school service, and after an inter val there was another preaching serv ice, after which we hitched up and drove slowly back to the farm. That was the way Sunday was fcept In western New York a little more than fifty years ago. I can remem ber hearing my mother say that when he was a gtrl m the same New York state village, she was not allowed to walk except to the cemetery and back, on Sunday, and was not allowed to read any books except the Bible and "Fox's Book of Martyrs."

Guatemala city, In the republic of the same name, which was the scene of one of the most violent earthquakes In Central American history, during the latter months of 1917 and the early part of 1918. Is now being gradually rebuilt. " Guatemala was for centuries the home of the Maya-Quiche Indians. At Qulrlgiia are located some of the most remarkable ruins In the Amerlcas monoliths resembling Egyptian obe lisks, from the top of which gigantic faces stare at the Intruder. Excava tions In the vicinity have revealed the ground plan of what must have been a remarkable and Imposing temple. A bulletin of the National Geographic society Btates that In the mountains of southwestern. Guatemala live pure blooded Indians who are known for their physique, cleaallness and scrupu lous honesty. Alpine Wonderland. The Grlsons, Switzerland's largest canton, may readily be described as an Alpine wonderland. It Is broken by no fewer than 150 valleys, varying greatly In size, traversed by wild rush ing torrents and streams and animat ed by roaring waterfalls and transpar ent mountain lakes. Dark green fir woods and velvety pastures cover the slopes and form the transition from the region of the hills to the renin) of the high Alps. And in this radiant paradise of vales and mountains there stands on almost every height a little place of worship, an emblem of peace and good will, sending greetings far and wide. Ancient H. C. L.
