 of her cubs. Kitty’s jaw, always a little too square, protruded with an apish hideousness and her beautiful eyes were black with malice. But she kept her temper in check.

“If a man hasn’t what’s necessary to make a woman love him, it’s his fault, not hers.”

“Evidently.”

His derisive tone increased her irritation. She felt that she could wound him more by maintaining her calm.

“I’m not very well-educated and I’m not very clever. I’m just a perfectly ordinary young woman. I like the things that the people like among whom I’ve lived all my life. I like dancing and tennis and theatres and I like the men who play games. It’s quite true that I’ve always been bored by you and by the things you like. They mean nothing to me and I don’t want them to. You dragged me round those interminable galleries in Venice: I should have enjoyed myself much more playing golf at Sandwich.”

“I know.”

“I’m sorry if I haven’t been all that you expected me to be. Unfortunately I always found you physically repulsive. You can hardly blame me for that.”

“I don’t.”

Kitty could more easily have coped with the situation if he had raved and stormed. She could have met violence with violence. His self-control was inhuman and she hated him now as she had never hated him before.

“I don’t think you’re a man at all. Why didn’t

 you break into the room when you knew I was there with Charlie? You might at least have tried to thrash him. Were you afraid?”

But the moment she had said this she flushed, for she was ashamed. He did not answer, but in his eyes she read an icy disdain. The shadow of a smile flickered on his lips.

“It may be that, like a historical character, I am too proud to fight.”

Kitty, unable to think of anything to answer, shrugged her shoulders. For a moment longer he held her in his immobile gaze.

“I think I’ve said all I had to say: if you refuse to come to Mei-tan-fu I shall file my petition.”

“Why won’t you consent to let me divorce you?”

He took his eyes off her at last. He leaned back in his chair and lit a cigarette. He smoked it to the end without saying a word. Then, throwing away the butt, he gave a little smile. He looked at her once more.

“If Mrs. Townsend will give me her assurance that she will divorce her husband and if he will give me his written promise to marry you within a week of the two decrees being made absolute, I will do that.”

There was something in the way he spoke which disconcerted her. But her self-respect obliged her to accept his offer in the grand manner.

“That is very generous of you, Walter.”

To her astonishment he burst suddenly into a shout of laughter. She flushed angrily.

 “What are you laughing at? I see nothing to laugh at.”

“I beg your pardon. I daresay my sense of humour is peculiar.”

She looked at him frowning. She would have liked to say something bitter and wounding, but no rejoinder occurred to her. He looked at his watch.

“You had better look sharp if you want to catch Townsend at his office. If you decide to come with me to Mei-tan-fu it would be necessary to start the day after to-morrow.”

“Do you want me to tell him to-day?”

“They say there is no time like the present.”

Her heart began to beat a little faster. It was not uneasiness that she felt, it was, she didn’t quite know what it was. She wished she could have had a little longer; she would have liked to prepare Charlie. But she had the fullest confidence in him, he loved her as much as she loved him, and it was treacherous even to let the thought cross her mind that he would not welcome the necessity that was forced upon them. She turned to Walter gravely.

“I don’t think you know what love is. You can have no conception how desperately in love Charlie and I are with one another. It really is the only thing that matters and every sacrifice that our love calls for will be as easy as falling off a log.”

He gave a little bow, but said nothing, and his eyes followed her as she walked with measured step from the room.

 Ashtoreth is occupied. Behold they have destroyed all the fortresses of neighboring lands: the city Udumu, the city Aduri, the city Araru, the city Meis(pa?), the city Macdalim, the city Khini. I announced that they had taken the city Zaar. They are fighting this city, the city Yabisi. Moreover, fearing the force against me, I am watching it till you arrive. One has come from your way to the city Bikhisi, and he has made us hear the news.”

Thou hast sent as to going to meet the Egyptian soldiers, accordingly I with my soldiers and my chariots (am) meeting the soldiers of the King my Lord, at the place to which you will march.”

143 B.—“To the King our Lord thus (says) Addubaya and thus also Betili. At the feet of our Lord we bow. Peace indeed to the face of our Lord. And (as is fit?) from the lands of our Lord, much they salute. O our Lord, will not you settle everything in your heart? Will not you harden your heart as to this combat O our Lord? But their intention is clear—to make war on the stations, as in our country they do not follow after thee. Lupackhallu has removed the soldiers of the Hittites; they will go against the cities of the land of Ham (Am) and from Atadumi they will (take?) them. And let our Lord know, since we hear that Zitana the Phœnician (Kharu) has deserted, who will march. And nine chiefs of the soldiers of the government are with us, who march, and the message is unfavorable: a gathering in the land they have made; and they will arrive from the land of Marhasse (Mer’ash).

 HE sent in a little note to Charlie on which she had written: ''“Please see me. It is urgent.”'' A Chinese boy asked her to wait and brought the answer that Mr. Townsend would see her in five minutes. She was unaccountably nervous. When at last she was ushered into his room Charlie came forward to shake hands with her, but the moment the boy, having closed the door, left them alone he dropped the affable formality of his manner.

“I say, my dear, you really mustn’t come here in working hours. I’ve got an awful lot to do and we don’t want to give people a chance to gossip.”

She gave him a long look with those beautiful eyes of hers and tried to smile, but her lips were stiff and she could not.

“I wouldn’t have come unless it was necessary.”

He smiled and took her arm.

“Well, since you’re here come and sit down.”

It was a long bare room, narrow, with a high ceiling; its walls were painted in two shades of terra cotta. The only furniture consisted of a large desk, a revolving chair for Townsend to sit in and a leather arm-chair for visitors. It intimidated Kitty to sit in this. He sat at the desk. She had never seen him in spectacles before; she did not know that he used them. When he noticed that her eyes were on them he took them off.

“I only use them for reading,” he said.

Her tears came easily and now, she hardly knew

 why, she began to cry. She had no deliberate intention of deceiving, but rather an instinctive desire to excite his sympathy. He looked at her blankly.

“Is anything the matter? Oh, my dear, don’t cry.”

She took out her handkerchief and tried to check her sobs. He rang the bell and when the boy came to the door went to it.

“If any one asks for me say I’m out.”

“Very good, sir.”

The boy closed the door. Charlie sat on the arm of the chair and put his arm round Kitty’s shoulders.

“Now, Kitty dear, tell me all about it.”

“Walter wants a divorce,” she said.

She felt the pressure of his arm on her shoulder cease. His body stiffened. There was a moment’s silence, then Townsend rose from her chair and sat down once more in his.

“What exactly do you mean?” he said.

She looked at him quickly, for his voice was hoarse, and she saw that his face was dully red.

“I’ve had a talk with him. I’ve come straight from the house now. He says he has all the proof he wants.”

“You didn’t commit yourself, did you? You didn’t acknowledge anything?”

Her heart sank.

“No,” she answered.

“Are you quite sure?” he asked, looking at her sharply.

“Quite sure,” she lied again.

He leaned back in his chair and stared vacantly

s a term used to designate the inhabitants of Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland. In the early centuries, that is, during the so-called Viking age, they are usually treated as one people under the name of Northmen or Norsemen, but as we proceed into the full daylight of history, it gradually becomes customary to discuss the Scandinavians separately, as Norwegians, Swedes, Danes and Icelanders. Thus, while we designate the old asa-faith of the Scandinavians as Norse mythology, we are expected to know to which of the four countries a modern celebrity or institution belongs. It is necessary to say the Swedish singer Jenny Lind, the Norwegian violinist Ole Bull, the Danish story-teller Hans Christian Andersen, and the Icelandic lexicographer Gudbrand Vigfusson.

The total number of Scandinavians, including those who have emigrated during this century, is probably less than eleven millions: 4,775,000 in Sweden, 2,300,000 (including 70,000 Icelanders) in Denmark, 2,300,000 in Norway, and, say, 2,000,000 in America, the British colonies and in other countries.

But though they be few in number, they inherit considerable renown. Though confined to the more or less inhospita-

 ble northwest corner of Europe, they have rendered the world some services the memory of which will not willingly be allowed to perish. In Iceland they have preserved and still speak one of the oldest of the Teutonic languages, a monument of the Viking age, which still furnishes the means of illustrating many of the social features of those remote times, and is held in deserved veneration by all the great philologists of our day. In the Icelandic tongue we have a group of sagas, a literature which in many respects is unique, and which sheds a flood of light upon the customs and manners of the dark centuries of the middle age. The Icelandic sagas tell us not only of what happened in Scandinavia, but they also describe conditions and events in England, France, Russia and elsewhere. We are indebted to the Scandinavians for the Eddas, for Saxo Grammaticus and for various other sources of information in regard to the grand and beautiful mythology of our ancestors. Our knowledge of the old Teutonic religion would have been very scanty indeed, had not the faithful old Norsemen given us a record of it on parchment. The grand mythological system conceived and developed by the poetic and imaginative childhood of the Scandinavians commands the attention of the scholars of all lands, and as we enter the solemn halls and palaces of the old Norse gods and goddesses, where all is cordiality and purity, we find there perfectly reflected the wild and tumultuous conflict of the robust northern climate and scenery, strong, rustic pictures, full of earnest and deep thought, awe-inspiring and wonderful. We find in the Eddas of Iceland that simple and martial religion which inspired the early Scandinavtans and developed them like a tree full of vigor extending long branches over all Europe. We find that simple and martial religion, which gave the Scandinavians that restless, unconquerable spirit, apt to take fire at the very mention of subjection or restraint, that religion by which instruments were forged to break the fetters forged by the Roman Cæsars, to destroy tyrants and slaves, and to teach the world that nature, having made all men and women free and equal, no other reason but their mutual happiness could be assigned for their government. We will find that

Rh of the Burdwan district, in which the highest proportion of juvenile instruction was found, is that also in which the highest proportion of adult instruction is found, viz., about 9 in every 100, leaving 91 of the adult population wholly uninstructed. The Bhawara thana of the Tirhoot district, in which the lowest proportion of juvenile instruction was found, is that also in which the lowest proportion of adult instruction is found, viz., 2 and 3-10ths in every 100, leaving 97 and 7-10ths of the adult population wholly uninstructed. The intermediate proportions have also a correspondence. Thus, in the comparison of one locality with another, the state of adult instruction is found to rise and fall with the state of juvenile instruction; and although this is what might have been anticipated on the most obvious grounds, yet the actual correspondence deserves to be distinctly indicated, for the sake of the confirmation which it gives to the general accuracy of the numerous details and calculations by which the conclusion has been established.”

From the preceding table and statements, it will be seen that the aggregate average for all the districts is no more than 5 per cent.! leaving 94 of every 100 adults wholly destitute of all kinds and degrees of instruction whatsoever! What, then, must be the amount of educational destitution among the adult population of Bengal and Behar with their many millions?

In order to have the mind not only penetrated but absolutely saturated with a sense of the fearful extent of the destitution, let us endeavour to form an approximate estimate of the actual numbers of the juvenile and adult population that are without any educational instruction whatever, even of the humblest description, such as simple reading and writing. In the statistical tables supplied by Mr., in his recent and most authoritative work on the subject, we find the aggregate population of Bengal and Behar estimated, in round numbers, at thirty-six millions. First, as regards the juvenile population, from the most favourable average furnished by European statists, it appears that 366 in 1000, or about eleven-thirtieths of

“* * * poured from her frozen loins to pass

Rhene or the Danaw, when her barbarous sons

Came like a deluge on the South and spread

Beneath Gibraltar and the Libyan sands.”

During the viking age we find the Scandinavians everywhere. They came in large swarms to France, England and Spain. During the crusades they led the van of the chivalry of Europe in rescuing the Holy Sepulchre; they passed between the pillars of Hercules, devastated the classic fields of Greece and penetrated the walls of Constantinople. Straying far into the East, we find them laying the foundations of the Russian Empire, and swinging their two-edged battle-axes in the streets of Constantinople, where they served as captains of the Greek Emperor’s body-guard, and the chief support of his tottering throne. They ventured out upon the surging main and discovered Iceland, Greenland and North America, thus becoming the discoverers, not only of America, but also of pelagic navigation. The Vikings were the first navigators to venture out of sight of land. And everywhere they scattered the seeds of liberty, independence and culture. They brought to France that germ of liberty that was planted in the soil of Normandy, where the Normans adopted the French tongue and were the first to produce and spread abroad a vernacular literature, that germ of liberty which, when brought to England, budded in the Magna Charta and Bill of Rights, and which in course of time was carried in the Mayflower to America, where it developed full-blown flowers in our Declaration of Independence and the ripest fruit in the Constitution of the United States.

The Scandinavians in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland gave a hearty reception to the Gospel and preserved its teaching for many centuries free from pagan influence. In the Swedish ruler Gustavus Adolphus, protestantism found one of its most efficient and valiant defenders.

The Scandinavians are still faithful to the banner of pro-

 testantism. They are distinguished for the earnestness of their religious worship, for their ardent advocacy of the cause of civil and religious liberty and for the well-nigh total absence of great crimes. Wherever they settle in the world, we find them associated with the most loyal and law-abiding citizens, giving their best energies to culture, law and order. Proofs of this statement are abundant both in Russia, Normandy and England, and in their more recent settlements in the various western states of America.

As stated, they have enriched the world with a whole class of literature, which is held in deserved respect. Is not Beowulf, the most important surviving monument of Anglo-Saxon poetry, a Swedish and Danish poem, and was it not first published from the British Museum manuscript by the great Danish scholar, G. J. Thorkelin? And does not the world owe to Denmark and her traditions Hamlet, the greatest drama of the immortal Shakespeare? In Saxo Hamlet is found as the son of the viceroy Horvendel, in Jutland, and of Gerude, who was the daughter of Rerek, King at Leire in Seland, Denmark.

The Scandinavians present to all oppressed nationalities the gratifying example of a people who, being true to their countries and to the traditions handed down from the mists of ages in the far past, have vindicated for themselves against many opposing and oppressing powers and in the midst of many obstacles and vicissitudes, their distinctive rights and liberties. A mere glance at the history of Scandinavia is sufficient to reveal to the student many events and the names of many individuals of far-reaching importance.

I have already enumerated a few of the many services rendered to the world by the Scandinavians of antiquity, and in this connection I may be permitted to mention a few Scandinavians who in more recent times have achieved world-wide fame. I do this with a view of demonstrating that the Scandinavians, though comparatively few in number, easily rank with the most prominent nations in the domains of science, art and literature. There is the great Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, one of the most marked individuals of the 16th century. From his Uranienborg observatory his

Even kings and princes did not think it beneath their dignity to make pilgrimages to the Isle of Hveen. Brahe made his name immortal through his services to astronomy. For thirty years he made regular and careful observations in regard to the movements of the planets, and it was only on the foundation of his vast preliminary labors, which in accuracy surpassed all that practical astronomy had previously achieved, that Keppler was able to produce his celebrated theories and laws. With perfect justice, it has been said, that Tycho Brahe made the observations, that Keppler discovered the law, and that Newton conceived the nature of the law.

Geology is at the present time a most highly developed science, but its devotees should not forget that the world’s first geologist was the Dane Niels Stensen, who was born in 1638. He was not only the most celebrated anatomist of his time, but he also laid the foundation of the science of geognosy and geology by studying the mountain formations and examining the fossils of Italy, and the result of his investigations were embodied in his De Solido intra solidum naturaliter contento dissertationis prodromus, a work which may rightly be regarded as the corner stone of geological science.

Archæology serves as a magnificent telescope by which we are able to contemplate social conditions far beyond the ken of ordinary historical knowledge and this valuable science was born and cradled in Denmark, where the renowned Christian Thomsen laid the foundation of the systematic study of all the weapons, implements and ornaments gathered from pre-historic times.

Then we have the science called comparative philology. Where did it begin? Who unravelled its first complicated threads? The answer comes from every philologist in the world. It shed its first rays in Denmark, and there Rasmus Rask discovered those laws and principles upon which the comparative study of languages is built.

162 Lord Ducie has brought plants of these to Tortworth, where he grows them under the name of Pyrus hybrida.

This species appears to be now rarely planted, except in botanical gardens. The best specimen which we have seen occurs at Syon (var. scandica). In 1904 it measured 48 feet in height by 7 feet 10 inches in girth, with a bole of 7 feet, dividing into 8 large branches, and forming a wide-spreading crown of foliage, about 50 yards in circumference (Plate 50). Another fine tree is growing at Livermere Park, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, specimens and particulars of which have been kindly sent to us by Mr. Stiling. It is now (1905) 45 feet high by 8 feet 5 inches in girth, with a bole of 8 feet dividing into 1 2 main branches, the diameter of the spread of foliage being 45 feet. This tree was reported in 1889 to have been 42 feet high by 8 feet 3 inches in girth. In August 1905 it was covered with fruit.

There is a fine specimen at Stowe, near Buckingham, growing near the bridge over the lake in sandy soil, which measures about 45 feet high by 7 feet 9 in. in girth, with a 7 feet bole. It was loaded with fruit in August 1905.

At Wykeham Abbey, the Yorkshire seat of Viscount Downe, there is a fine tree on the lawn, about 40 feet high, spreading from the ground, where it measures 10 feet 8 inches in girth, into a large and well-shaped head. '

This tree is planted in some of the parks and gardens in London, and grows well at the Botanic Gardens in Regent's Park. I am informed by Mr. A. Stratford, Superintendent of the Corporation Park of Blackburn, that it makes a good shade tree in that smoky town.

362 the whole people of any nation, may be reckoned as under fourteen years of age, and that of this entire population of children, three-sevenths are of an age to go to school, even when the school-commencing age is fixed at seven years complete. In India, however, the school-commencing age is, in point of fact, not seven but five years; and at this lower rate it has been reckoned all along. This would render the proportion of the juvenile population of the school-going age not three-sevenths, but about three-sixths, or one-half. Let us now, then, actually apply these proportions to the case before us. In Bengal and Behar, there is a population of about 36,000,000,—thirty-six millions. Eleven-thirtieths of this aggregate will give us a juvenile population amounting to 13,200,000, or upwards of thirteen millions. The half of this gives us 6,600,000, or upwards of six and a half millions, as the number of children of the school-going age. But we have already ascertained that of children of the school-going age, only 7 in 100 receive instruction of any kind. Consequently, of the 6,600,000, or upwards of six and a half millions, of the school-going age, only 511,500 or about half a million, receive any kind of instruction, —leaving 6,088,500, or about six millions of children, capable of receiving school instruction, wholly uneducated!—that is, a number of school-going children in the provinces of Bengal and Behar alone, wholly uneducated, greatly more than double the aggregate of the entire population of Scotland, including men, women, and children! Then, again, as to the adults:—deducting the juvenile population of 13,200,000, or upwards of thirteen millions, from the sum-total of 36,000,000, or thirty-six millions, it will leave 22,800,000, or nearly three millions, as the aggregate of the adult population. But we have already found that, of the adult population, only an average of 5 in 100 receive instruction of any kind. It will hence appear, that of the entire adult population of about twenty-three millions, only 1,254,000, or about a million and a fourth, receive instruction of any kind;—leaving 21,546,000, or upwards of twenty-one and a half millions of adults wholly uneducated!—that is a number of adults, in the provinces of Bengal and Behar alone, wholly uneducated, considerably exceeding in amount the entire aggregate of the population of England and Scotland united, including men, women, and children! What a tremendous conclusion, to have been arrived at, is this! Upwards of six millions of children, of the school-going age, and upwards of twenty-one and a half millions of adults, in the provinces of Bengal and Behar alone, without one shred or tittle of school or domestic instruction of any kind or degree, however humble, meagre, or inadequate!

 and symmetrical pyramid which has since been constructed by the brothers Grimm, by Max Müller, by our own W. D. Whitney and many other famous linguists, to take the place of that tower of Babel, which the old linguistic students had built with their clumsy hands and poor materials. In this connection I may also mention the Dane J. N. Madvig, the greatest Latin scholar of the last century, a scholar who created a new epoch in the study of the old texts. The scholars of all lands accept his views as final.

He who would write the history of electricity must study the life of the great Dane, H. C. Oersted. His discovery in 1820 of electro-magnetism—the identity of electricity and magnetism—which he not only discovered, but demonstrated incontestably, placed him at once in the highest rank of physical philosophers and has led the way to all the wonders of this subtle force. He supplied the knowledge by which Morse was enabled to build the first telegraph line, and he is in fact the predecessor of Morse, Edison, Tesla, Marconi and of that brilliant galaxy of men, who have astonished the world by all their wonderful inventions in the domain of electricity.

Suppose we cross the sound and enter the territory of Sweden. There we at once discover the polar star in the science of botany in the name of Carl von Linné. In his twenty-fourth year he established the celebrated sexual system in plants, whereby the chaos of the botanical world was reduced to order and a faithful study of it was made possible. His extensive investigations rightly secured for him the title of the king of botanists. As Linné became the father of botany, so another Swede, Carl Scheele, might be called the founder of the present system of chemistry. He is one of the greatest ornaments of science and the world is indebted to him for the discovery of many new elementary principles and valuable chemical combinations now in general use.

Hardly less conspicuous is J. J. Berzelius, the contemporary of Scheele. Like the latter Berzelius published a number of works, the most of which contained capital discoveries, either the explanation of a phenomenon or reaction pre-

 viously misunderstood, or the description of some new element or compound. The discoveries made by Scheele and Berzelius in the domain of chemistry are most important, but too numerous to mention in this paper. Berzelius also devoted himself to mineralogy and published his “Treatise on the Blow Pipe,” and he set up for himself a regularly graduated system of minerals, the value of which was felt to be so great that the Royal Society of London voted him its gold medal for it. Scheele unfortunately died at only 54 years of age, but his works, many of which are regarded as the most important in the whole field of chemical literature, appeared after his death in French, German and Latin editions. In Linné, Scheele, Berzelius and in the naturalist and archæologist, Sven Nilsson, Sweden touched the zenith of scientific fame.

Before leaving Sweden, we may be permitted to mention N. A. E. Nordenskjold, who is famous for his various Arctic expeditions; and who, with his Vega accomplished the work so often attempted by many brave explorers, the discovery and navigation of a northeast passage by sea from North Cape, the extreme northwest point of Europe, to the extreme notheastern point of Asia,—that is a passage by sea from the north Atlantic ocean eastward to the north Pacific ocean. Nordenskjold has the honor of being the first man to double Cape Cheljuskin, the northern point of the continent, and by his voyage he made many new and valuable additions to our geographical knowledge of the Arctic regions. His signal triumph well deserves the most distinguished marks of honor showered upon him during his homeward journey.

Entering the domain of Norway, we at once meet the brilliant name of the immortal mathemeticianmathematician [sic], Henrik Abel. I have observed that the great mathemeticianmathematician [sic] of our time can scarcely open their mouths wide enough when they want to say A—bel. He unfortunately died too young, but his great fame keeps on increasing. He is justly designated as one of the greatest geniuses ever born in the domain of exact science, and the solution of problems made by the

 youthful Norwegian everywhere provokes the greatest wonder and admiration. In some of his problems there is incorporated work for a lifetime. Though but twenty-seven years old at his death, he had gained wide distinction by his discoveries in the theory of elliptic functions and was highly eulogized by Legendre.

Norway has also produced the distinguished Arctic explorer, Frithiof Nansen, who in 1888, with three other brave Norwegians and two Lapps, crossed Greenland from the east to the west on about the 65th degree north latitude. This crossing was done on skees, a kind of long snow shoes, and with small sleds, on which they carried their provisions. An account of this first and only crossing of Greenland was published by the explorer, and it is universally conceded that he not only performed a feat of the greatest courage and bravery, but that he also made important contributions to our fund of geographical and scientific knowledge. Nansen has also presented a new plan for reaching the great goal of all Artic explorers, the North pole, by following the current supposed to flow from the New Siberian islands across or near the North pole to the sea between Spitzbergen and east Greenland. On his memorable voyage he did not quite reach the goal of his ambition, but he touched the North Pole of Norse courage and adventure.

Ask the Icelanders whether they have produced any name of world-wide reputation, and that whole little island will unite in shouting Albert Thorwaldsen, and the mountains of Iceland will re-echo “Thorwaldsen.” He was descended from Snorre Thorfinson, who was born in America (Vinland) in the year 1008, and though born of humble parents, he succeeded in developing his talents and became the greatest sculptor of modern times.

I have enumerated only a few of the many services rendered to the world by the Scandinavians. I could easily have added a discussion of such brilliant names as Hans Christian Andersen, Grundtvig, Tegnér, Bellman, Rydberg, Holberg, Wergeland, Bjornson, Ibsen, Snorre Sturleson, Gudbrand Vigfusson, Gade, Hartmann, Grieg, Svendson,

164 Aria. In winter, specimens of cultivated Sorbus fennica show the following characters represented in Plate 45:—

Twigs: long shoots glabrous, shining, dark brown, with a few scattered lenticels. Leaf-scar crescentic, very narrow, set obliquely on a reddish brown, slightly projecting cushion; it shows a varying number of bundle traces, 3, 4, or 5, and may thus be distinguished from other species of Sorbus, as Pyrus Aucuparia has 5 dots on the scar, while Pyrus Aria, intermedia, and latifolia have only 3. Terminal bud large, conic, tomentose, especially at the apex. Lateral buds small, either appressed to the stem or diverging from it at an acute angle. Bud-scales few, densely pubescent on the outer surface, and ciliate in margin. Short shoots ringed, pubescent, bearing a terminal bud.

The form fennica occurs plentifully in Scandinavia, where it grows wild, reproducing itself naturally by seed, and behaving as a true species. It extends in Norway, according to Schübeler, up to lat. 66° 14' on the west coast as a wild plant, and in Sweden up to 60° wild and 62" planted; it also occurs in Finland, but is not recorded from other parts of Russian territory. In Central Europe it only occurs sporadically, and apparently always in company with the parent species; it is recorded from various mountain stations in France, Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.

The hybrids which occur in the Isle of Arran have attracted much attention and discussion. Formerly it was believed that Pyrus Aucuparia, Pyrus intermedia (var. scandica), and Pyrus fennica, all occurred in a wild state. Koehne, however, considers that (excepting Aucuparia) all the plants in question on the island are hybrids, there being two sets, one typical fennica, while the other set comprises forms between that and scandica. This view, which excludes one of the parents (viz. scandica), implies that these hybrids, once established, may under favourable conditions reproduce themselves naturally and behave generally as true species.

N.E. Brown says of this species that it is "rare and perhaps not indigenous except in Scotland"; but he has seen specimens from Kent, Sussex, Hants, Somerset, Gloucester, Leicester, Stafford, Cumberland, Roxburgh, Arran, and Dumbarton. He thinks that Arran seems to be the only truly native locality for this tree in the British Isles, and believes that the Arran plant placed under intermedia is a form of it. Watson, however, states in his Compendium, p. 510, that Borrer held it to be wild in North Hants between Farnham and Farnborough, where it was observed sparingly along with Aria and Aucuparia, both more plentifully. A specimen picked by James M'Nab in Darenth Wood, Kent, is, according to Watson, identical with Arran specimens.

There is a fine tree on the edge of a shrubbery close to Wilton House, Wilts, the seat of the Earl of Pembroke, about 50 feet by 5.

 Sinding, Ole Bull, Jenny Lind, and many others, but enough has been said on this point to demonstrate the fact that the Scandinavians are the peers of any other race in every field of intellectual effort. Considering their numerical strength, they have contributed their full share toward the enlightenment and progress of the world.

The brilliant services which I have cited, and which are universally admitted, have been rendered to the world generally, but I shall now demonstrate by indisputable facts, that the Scandinavians have an honorable place in the annals of America. America is indebted to them for special services. The civilized history of America begins with the Norsemen. Look at your map and you will find that Greenland and a part of Iceland belongs to the western hemisphere. Iceland became the hinge upon which the door swings which opened America to Europe. It was the occupation of Iceland by the Norsemen in the year 874, and the frequent voyages between this island and Norway that led to the discovery and settlement, first of Greenland and then of America, and it is due to the culture and fine historical taste of the old Icelanders that carefully prepared records of the Norse voyages were kept, first to teach pelagic navigation to Columbus and afterwards to solve for us the mysteries concerning the first discovery of this continent. In this connection I want to repeat that the old republican vikings fully understood the importance of studying the art of ship-building and navigation. They knew how to measure time by the stars and how to calculate the course of the sun and moon. They were themselves pioneers in venturing out upon the high seas, and taught the rest of the world to navigate the ocean. Every scrap of written history sustains me, when I say with all the emphasis I can put into so many words, that the other peoples of Europe were limited in their nautical knowledge to coast navigation. The Norse vikings, who crossed the stormy North Sea and found their way to Great Britain, to the Orkneys, the Fareys and to Iceland, and all those heroes who found their way to Greenland and Vinland taught the world pelagic navigation. They demonstrated the possibility of venturing out of sight of land and in this sense, if in

A tree in woods and on good soil attaining a height of 40 to 50 feet, and rarely 70 feet in height; but in rocky and mountainous situations usually remaining shrubby. Bark smooth and grey, becoming slightly fissured in old trees. Leaves stalked, oval or obovate, rounded, cordate, or cuneate at the base, sharp or obtuse at the apex, biserrate or slightly lobulate with teeth, the lobules largest towards the apex of the leaf; green and glabrous when adult above, but always snowywhite tomentose beneath; nerves, 8-12 pairs, very prominent on both surfaces. Flowers with an unpleasant odour, white, in loose corymbs; the peduncle, receptacle, calyx, and corolla, white tomentose; styles 2, free, pubescent at the base. Fruit globose or ovoid, inch in diameter, shining red with a few brown dots, tomentose at the base and apex; flesh scanty, sweetish acid in flavour.

In summer the leaves, snowy white underneath and with prominent nerves, are a sure guide. The leaves of Aria from a wild specimen growing at Gosford, Kent (Fig. 18); of var. rupicola from a wild specimen from north-west Lancashire (Fig. 13); of var. salicifolia (Fig. 16) and var. Decaisneana (Fig. 8), both from specimens cultivated at Kew, are shown on Plates 43 and 44. In winter the following characters are available, as shown in Plate 45:—

Twigs: long shoots round, shining brown, glabrous except for a little pubescence near the tip, marked with scattered wart -like lenticels. Leaf-scars set obliquely on prominent leaf-cushions, crescentic, with three bundle traces. Buds ovoid, conicalpointed, shining, and somewhat viscid; terminal larger, side-buds coming off at an acute angle. Bud-scales glued together, strongly keeled, glabrous on the surface, densely long ciliate in margin. Short shoots ringed, generally glabrous, and ending in a terminal bud. Viscid buds occur also in Pyrus Sorbus, which is, however, very distinct in its five-dotted scars and glabrous scales.

Some authors take Pyrus Aria in a wide sense, and under it group Aria proper, rupicola, latifolia, scandica, etc. as sub-species. Most of these, as being readily distinguishable by many characters, have been considered by us as distinct species. Taking Pyrus Aria in a narrow sense, as comprising forms with leaves

168 resembles Pyrus Aria. It is of hybrid origin, one parent being either that species or Pyrus intermedia, while the other is Pyrus Chamæmespilus. It is distinguished from Pyrus Aria by the larger and more irregular teeth of the leaves (cf. Plate 44), and its flowers are pinkish white, borne in loose corymbs. Various intermediate forms have been distinguished, as—

Sorbus ambigua, Michalet. Exactly intermediate between Pyrus Aria and Pyrus Chamæmespilus, with the leaves larger than in the second, and smaller than in the first, and the margins having a tendency to lobing. Tomentum whitish.

Sorbus arioides, Michalet. A form intermediate between ambigua and Aria.

Chamæmespilus x Mougeoti. Leaf large, with lobes well marked and rounded; tomentum greyish. These hybrids are common in the Jura and the Alps.

The whitebeam is a wide-spread species. It occurs throughout Europe generally, reaching in Norway as far north as lat. 63° 52', and in Sweden to lat. 59°. It is met with also in Algeria, Asia Minor, the Caucasus, Armenia, Siberia, and Central China, assuming in some of these regions remarkable varietal forms. It is replaced in the Himalayas and Japan by Pyrus lanata, Don, an allied species.

While it occurs on all soils except those which are wet, it has a decided preference for limestone. In woods and hedges it grows to be a small tree; but in exposed situations on rocky mountains, etc. it dwindles to a mere bush. On the Alps it ascends to 4800 feet

In the British Isles its distribution has not been accurately made out, as many supposed records refer rather to intermedia or latifolia. Apparently, however, as a wild tree, the typical form is almost entirely confined to the southern and midland counties of England and to south Wales. Variety rupicola is recorded from nearly every county from Devon to Sutherland, and is widely spread on the littoral range between Lancaster and Humphrey Head, ascending in Banffshire to 1200 or 1400 feet, where it has been found by Dr. Shoolbred of Chepstow on limestone cliffs near Inchrory in upper Banffshire. In Ireland the whitebeam is rare and local, and both the type and rupicola occur.

By far the finest specimen that we know of in England or elsewhere grows on the edge of Camp Wood, near Henley on Thames, on Sir Walter Phillimore's property, where Henry saw it in 1905. It measures 75 feet high by 4 feet 9 inches in girth, with a bole about 35 feet long, and has very smooth beech-like bark (Plate 51).

There is a large and very well shaped tree at Walcot, Shropshire, which in 1906 Elwes found to be 56 feet high and 6½ feet in girth, with a clean bole about 20 feet long.

"Give me your hand, Nat," said the old gentleman in an altered voice. "Kiss me, my love. You are a very charming little daughter-in-law after all!"

In a few minutes' time Mr. Winkle went in search of Mr. Pickwick, and returning with that gentleman, presented him to his father, whereupon they shook hands for five minutes incessantly.

"Mr. Pickwick, I thank you most heartily for all your kindness to my son," said old Mr. Winkle, in a bluff straightforward way. "I am a hasty fellow, and when I saw you last, I was vexed and taken by surprise. I have judged for myself now, and am more than satisfied. Shall I make any more apologies, Mr. Pickwick?"

"Not one," replied that gentleman. "You have done the only thing wanting to complete my happiness."

Hereupon, there was another shaking of hands for five minutes longer, accompanied by a great number of complimentary speeches, which, besides being complimentary, had the additional and very novel recommendation of being sincere.

Sam had dutifully seen his father to the Bell Sauvage, when, on returning, he encountered the fat boy in the court, who had been charged with the delivery of a note from Emily Wardle.

"I say," said Joe, who was unusually loquacious, "what a pretty girl Mary is, isn't she? I am so fond of her, I am!"

Mr. Weller made no verbal remark in reply; but eyeing the fat boy for a moment, quite transfixed at his presumption, led him by the collar to the corner, and dismissed him with a harmless but ceremonious kick. After which, he walked home, whistling.

170 In Hampshire the wood is used for making whip-handles, and the tree is known there on that account as "whip-crop."

Mr. Weale, of Liverpool, reports as follows on a sample of this wood which I sent him:—"The wood is of a medium hardness, good length of fibre, and takes a clean finish. Not tough. Rays invisible on transverse section. Grain moderately close and even. Warps badly in drying, and is liable to split."

In a little book on English timber by "Acorn" (Rider and Son, London, 1904), I find the following note on the whitebeam, though the author does not notice either of the service trees:—"In a green state whitebeam has a strong smell, and even after seasoning this is retained to a certain extent. A great many handles for cutlery are made from it, and its hardness is admirably adapted for these, as it is capable of taking a very high polish from the extreme closeness of its grain. It is also used in the manufacture of musical instruments, and the tops and small pieces are always appreciated by the turner." As it is usually available only in small pieces, these would probably, when thoroughly seasoned, be very useful to introduce as blocks in parquet flooring.

"Where's your husband?" inquired the old gentleman, abruptly; stopping a smile which was just coming over his own face. Meetin "I expect him every instant, sir," said Arabella. "I persuaded him, to take a walk this morning. He is very low and wretched at not having heard from his father."

"Low, is he?" said the old gentleman. "Serve him right!"

"He feels it on my account, I am afraid," said Arabella; "and indeed, sir, I feel it deeply on his. I have been the sole means of bringing him to his present condition."

"Don't mind it on his account, my dear," said the old gentleman. "It serves him right. I am glad of it—actually glad of it, as far as he is concerned."

The words were scarcely out of the old gentleman's lips, when footsteps were heard ascending the stairs, which he and Arabella seemed both to recognise at the same moment. The little gentleman turned pale, and making a strong effort to appear composed, stood up, as Mr. Winkle entered the room.

"Father!" cried Mr. Winkle, recoiling in amazement.

"Yes, sir," replied the little old gentleman. "Well, sir, what have you got to say to me?"

Mr. Winkle remained silent.

Still Mr. Winkle said nothing. Are you ashamed of yourself, sir, or are you not?" inquired the old gentleman

"No, sir," replied Mr. Winkle, drawing Arabella's arm through his. "I am not ashamed of myself, or of my wife either."

 "I have," replied Arabella, in a scarcely audible tone, laying aside her work, and becoming greatly agitated as a thought, that had occurred to her before, struck more forcibly upon her mind.

"Without having represented to your husband the propriety of first consulting his father, on whom he is dependent, I think?" said the stranger.

Arabella applied her handkerchief to her eyes.

"Without an endeavour, even, to ascertain, by some indirect appeal, what were the old man's sentiments on a point in which he would naturally feel much interested?" said the stranger.

"I cannot deny it, sir," said Arabella.

"And without having sufficient property of your own to afford your husband any permanent assistance in exchange for the worldly advantages which you knew he would have gained if he had married agreeably to his father's wishes?" said the old gentleman. "This is what boys and girls call disinterested affection, till they have boys and girls of their own, and then they see it in a rougher and very different light!" Arabella's tears flowed fast, as she pleaded in extenuation that she was young and inexperienced; that her attachment had alone induced her to take the step to which she had resorted; and that she had been deprived of the counsel and guidance of her parents almost from infancy.

"It was wrong," said the old gentleman in a milder tone, "very wrong. It was foolish, romantic, unbusiness-like."

"It was my fault; all my fault, sir," replied poor Arabella, weeping.

"Nonsense," said the old gentleman; "it was not your fault that he fell in love with you, I suppose? Yes it was though," said the old gentleman, looking rather slyly at Arabella. "It was your fault. He couldn't help it."

This little compliment, or the little gentleman's odd way of paying it, or his altered manner—so much kinder than it

 The waiter complied, wondering much who the gentleman could be, and what he wanted; the little old gentleman waiting till he was out of sight, tapped at the door.

"Come in," said Arabella.

"Um, a pretty voice at any rate," murmured the little old gentleman; "but that's nothing." As he said this, he opened the door and walked in. Arabella, who was sitting at work, rose on beholding a stranger—a little confused—but by no means ungracefully so.

"Pray don't rise, ma'am," said the unknown, walking in, and closing the door after him. "Mrs. Winkle, I believe?"

Arabella inclined her head.

"Mrs. Nathaniel Winkle, who married the son of the old man at Birmingham?" said the stranger, eyeing Arabella with visible curiosity.

Again, Arabella inclined her head, and looked uneasily round, as if uncertain whether to call for assistance.

"I surprise you, I see, ma'am," said the old gentleman.

"Rather, I confess," replied Arabella, wondering more and more.

"I'll take a chair, if you'll allow me, ma'am," said the stranger. He took one; and drawing a spectacle-case from his pocket, leisurely pulled out a pair of spectacles, which he adjusted on his nose.

"You don't know me, ma'am?" he said, looking so intently at Arabella that she began to feel alarmed.

"No, sir," she replied timidly.

"No," said the gentleman, nursing his left leg; "I don't know how you should. You know my name, though, ma'am."

"Do I?" said Arabella, trembling, though she scarcely knew why. "May I ask what it is?"

"Presently, ma'am, presently," said the stranger, not having yet removed his eyes from her countenance. "You have been recently married, ma'am?"

Yet should an alien eye discern His presence in the woodland, How little has he left to learn Of self-defense! My good land!

For he can run, as swift as sound, To where his goose may hang high; Or thrust his head against the ground And tunnel half to Shanghai;

Or he can climb the dizziest bough— Unhesitant, mechanic— And, resting, dash from off his brow The bitter beads of panic;

Nor speaks any word, not looks around, nor does anything

They grew afraid of the hidden moon and the stars, they

And they gurgled a bargain to him from under their

I know what they promised to him, for I have heard

They asked him to promise that he would turn back

that he would lap the leash for the sake of the

But not one lone word he answered―he only chewed his

354 the domestic roof; and, unless under peculiar circumstances, it is not extended to accounts, which are deemed the ultimate object of vernacular school instruction.” And the total disconnection farther appears from the fact, that, in some divisions of districts, there are vernacular schools with no institution of learning; and, in certain divisions of other districts, the learned institutions abound most where there are no vernacular schools at all!

While Mr. Adam testifies that, as a class, he found the learned Brahmans, “in general, shrewd, discriminating, and mild in their demeanour,” he also strongly avers that, beyond the narrow limits of their own immediate circle, “none of the humanizing influences of learning are seen in the improved moral and intellectual character or physical condition of the surrounding humbler classes of society. It seems never to have entered into the conceptions of the learned that it was their duty to do something for the instruction of those classes, who are as ignorant and degraded where learning abounds as where it does not exist; nor has learning any practical influence upon the physical comforts even of its professors, for their houses are as rude, confined, and inconvenient as those of the more ignorant, and the path-ways of Brahman villages are as narrow, dirty, and irregular as those inhabited by the humblest and most despised Chasas and Chandalas.” Or, as Mr. A. has elsewhere expressed it;—

"“I saw men not only unpretending, but plain and simple, in their manners—and although seldom if ever offensively coarse, yet reminding me of the very humblest classes of English and Scottish peasantry—living constantly half-naked, and realizing in this respect the descriptions of savage life; inhabiting huts which, if we connect moral consequences with physical causes, might be supposed to have the effect of stunting the growth of their minds, or in which only the most contracted minds might be supposed to have room to dwell; and yet several of those men are adepts in the subtleties of the profoundest grammar of what is probable the most philosophical language in existence,—not only practically skilled in the niceties of its usage, but also in the principles of its structure; familiar with all the varieties and applications of their national laws and literature; and indulging in the abstrusest and most interesting disquisitions in logical and ethical philosophy.”"

This latter clause is the glowing generalization of an indiscriminating panegyrist rather than the measured and qualified conclusion of a sober judge. And it is but justice to Mr. Adam, whose candour of mind and honesty of purpose are beyond all suspicion, to say, that at a later period, with a more enlarged experience and a maturer judgment, he was led to indite and put on record the following more accurate and truthful estimate:—

“The native mind of the present day, although it is asleep, is not dead. It has a dreamy sort of existence, in separating, combining, and recasting,

  there were no bacilli, no ptomaine poisoning, no diphtheria, and no appendicitis. Rabies was but little known, and only imperfectly developed. All of these we owe to medical science. Even such things as psoriasis and parotitis and trypanosomiasis, which are now household names, were known only to the few, and were quite beyond the reach of the great mass of the people.

Or consider the advance of the science on its practical side. A hundred years ago it used to be supposed that fever could be cured by the letting of blood; now we know positively that it cannot. Even seventy years ago it was thought that fever was curable by the administration of sedative drugs; now we know that it isn't. For the matter of that, as recently as thirty years ago, doctors thought that they could heal a fever by means of low diet and the application of ice; now they are absolutely certain that they cannot. This instance shows the steady progress made in the treatment of fever. But there has been the same cheering advance all along the line. Take rheumatism. A few generations ago people with rheumatism used to have to carry round potatoes in their pockets as a means of cure.

  Now the doctors allow them to carry absolutely anything they like. They may go round with their pockets full of water-melons if they wish to. It makes no difference. Or take the treatment of epilepsy. It used to be supposed that the first thing to do in sudden attacks of this kind was to unfasten the patient's collar and let him breathe; at present, on the contrary, many doctors consider it better to button up the patient's collar and let him choke.

In only one respect has there been a decided lack of progress in the domain of medicine, that is in the time it takes to become a qualified practitioner. In the good old days a man was turned out thoroughly equipped after putting in two winter sessions at a college and spending his summers in running logs for a sawmill. Some of the students were turned out even sooner. Nowadays it takes anywhere from five to eight years to become a doctor. Of course, one is willing to grant that our young men are growing stupider and lazier every year. This fact will be corroborated at once by any man over fifty years of age. But even when this is said it seems odd that a man should study eight years now to

  learn what he used to acquire in eight months.

However, let that go. The point I want to develop is that the modern doctor's business is an extremely simple one, which could be acquired in about two weeks. This is the way it is done.

The patient enters the consulting-room. "Doctor," he says, "I have a bad pain." "Where is it?" "Here." "Stand up," says the doctor, "and put your arms up above your head." Then the doctor goes behind the patient and strikes him a powerful blow in the back. "Do you feel that," he says. "I do," says the patient.

"Get up," says the doctor, and counts ten. The patient rises. The doctor looks him over very carefully without speaking, and then suddenly fetches him a blow in the stomach that doubles him up speechless. The doctor walks over to the window and reads the morning paper for a while. Presently he turns and begins to mutter more to himself than the patient. "Hum!" he

  says, "there's a slight anaesthesia of the tympanum." "Is that so?" says the patient, in an agony of fear. "What can I do about it, doctor?" "Well," says the doctor, "I want you to keep very quiet; you'll have to go to bed and stay there and keep quiet." In reality, of course, the doctor hasn't the least idea what is wrong with the man; but he does know that if he will go to bed and keep quiet, awfully quiet, he'll either get quietly well again or else die a quiet death. Meantime, if the doctor calls every morning and thumps and beats him, he can keep the patient submissive and perhaps force him to confess what is wrong with him.

"What about diet, doctor?" says the patient, completely cowed.

The answer to this question varies very much. It depends on how the doctor is feeling and whether it is long since he had a meal himself. If it is late in the morning and the doctor is ravenously hungry, he says: "Oh, eat plenty, don't be afraid of it; eat meat, vegetables, starch, glue, cement, anything you like." But if the doctor has just had lunch and if his breathing is short-circuited with huckleberry-pie, he says very firmly: "No, I don't
