K LORD MERSEY, who is to pre
Aside over tlio British court of
Inqutry Into the Titanic dis
sster, commencing Its sittings
to-morrow, was only r.Llaed to ins peer?
age, a barony, a. couple oC years ago.
It may be as well to remind my readers
that befor-3 his elevation ho was known
as Sir .lohn UlKham and was consid?
ered a remarkably good judge, not
only In divorce, but In admiralty and
commercial cases, lie began bis busi?
ness eareer In the oflb-.r?- of bt.s father,
a Liverpool ship owner, member >?( Hit:
City Council urn! "t the Mersey Docks
and Harbor Hoard. Although John
Highem proved himself an excellent
business man and spent twelve years
in his father's Olflce, he did not like
tlie occupation, So he studied law
and was admitted to the bar as a mem
ber or the. Inner Temple in 18V0, be
coming a Queen's counsel in issJ.
Rising from oho p>int to another,
ho became president of the I'robate
Divorce and Admiralty Division of the
High Court of Justice In 1909, His
mercantile training be for* be was!
called to tho bar proved Immensely)
valuable in his practica und was still j
more useful on his elevation to the
bench, where his all-round grasp of i
cases brought before him was such j
that general rogrot was expressed j
when he was appointed president of !
the Divorce Court, where it wa- sup- j
posed that his special qualifications]
would not bo brought Into play. j
But here, to the surprise of every?
body, he was a still greater success,
by rcaaon <-f the fact that be Is a|
tin.rough man of the world, shrewd 111
weighing evidence and expert in get
! ting at this truth. Ho had the repu?
tation of granting divorces In a very
grudging manner. It was difficult to
furnish him with evidence sufTlelent
, ly strong to convince him that ho
j "Might to grant a release from matrl
i monial bonds. While ?.t the bar ho
! was considered one of tha shrewdest
cross-examiners that ever wore- a wig,
and Invariably had a wonderfully com
plet,, mastery of the Intricacies of
every case that h : undertook. He pos?
sessed a positive genius for getting
! the truth e?ut Of a witness. Those who
! gave their evidence reluctantly, or t-rlad|
to hold something back, feared hint
'greatly. When be wagged his glasses
im them and ssid In his btandost tones,
"W\?ll, we shall see!" they knew that
they had a severe grilling before them.
' He looks bluff, but Is very careful

quietly remarks, in velvety accents.
"I do not believe s word you say." I
bav- mentioned his glasses, because
the} play an important part In * his
make-up. for without them h's Is com?
pletely lost. If he has any particu?
lar fault It is a tendency to Impatience.
He is very quick himself and does
not like to see time wastid through
stupidity or dullness. Ho is not par?

a rather short, clean-shaven, ruddy
faced man with brown eyes, and a

Lord Mersey, who was born In 1S10.
.-narrled, In 1871, Georglna Sarah,
daughter of the into John Rigors of
Liverpool. He has two aous, the 'Id'-:
of whom, Charles Cllvo, bora in 187-,
wan formerly in the Grenadier Gtiurds.
and subsequently entered the diplo?
matic service, was attach.-d to tlio em?
bassies at Constantinople, Vienna and
Home as well as tho legation at Pckln

defense, lie also acted as onu of the

Japan. The other son, Frank Tt-jvoc

Although Lord .Mersey is objected1
[to by many as being 100 prejudiced I
In favor of ship-owning inior-.-jis to,
be able to conduct the Titanic Inves- ,
llgatton with strict impartiality, yet;
it would seem, from Ills wide sxper-1
lento and excellent record, that he ls>
, singularly well qualified to elicit the
I wholo truth regarding that tcrriblo
i sea disaster.
Lord Lansdo-n-ne. I s?Q by the cable
? dlspatchee. has found his lost nephew.
I It furnishes another Instance of on:
i of those remarkable lnpse? of memory
that distresses the afflicted one,'*' friends
and relatives and puzzles the police. The
sufferer Is the son of Lord Lansdowne'a
sister and his name 1? Giles Stephen
Plusmaurlce Dlgby. The boy's health
?hi Is but eighteen years old?naa
been poor of late and his physical
weakness seems to havo affected hl:i
mind, for ho wandered away, nobody
know wher !. Scotland Yard was notl
llcd. and descriptions and pictures of
the lad were sen! all owr England.
At last the detectives found liim In
Liverpool, und Lord La'nsdowne w.-nt
i to that seaport for tho purpose of
! bringing him back to Ijondmi. Possi?
bly if he had not been discovered In
time he would have taken steamer
i for this .-.id .-, and another name would
j have been added to the l^ng list of
I those "lost In America."
The Dlgby family la one of the
! oldest lit the United Kingdom, tracing
I hack iis ancestry to the days of Ho?
ward tho Conf'Sssor, being, therefore
of Saxon origin. It has produced some
of tire most remarkably picturesque
personages In the hlsloi-y of England,
ihe two that will most readily occur
lo the student being probably Sir
Evcrard l>lgi.;-, of Uunpowd-sr Plot
fume, and Iiis son. Sir Kcnelm Dlgby,
I who distinguished himself as a soldier.

he spoke not merely as a Catholic, but
as an ecclesiastic?physician, and I

personages as Queen Henrietta -Maria,

I of Charles 11. after the KeStorStlon.
A,though he in said to have I.a the
first to explain the necessity of oxy?
gen to ths existence of plants, he does
not seem to have enjoyed the respect
of his contemporaries, Bvi lyii and
Stubbes, in regard to ids learning. For
he was a firm believer in astrology
and alchemy. Experts, however, have
signified their approval of his direc?
tions on the subject of making ten,
namely, to let the water "remain up?
on It no longer than you can say the
Miserere PSallll leisurely."

How to Regain Her
Health.
Covington, Ky.?"Everybody thought
I had consumption," writes Mrs. Martha
Owens, of this place.
"Nobody believed 1 could ever gc.
well.
According to them I should be in my
grave now, and not up writing letters.
One day a Ladies' Birthday Almanac
fell into my hands. 1 read it and told my
husband that I would try Cardui, for I
believed in what the book said that this
medicine would do.
1 bought a bottle, took the medicine,
and began to get better right away. I
could feel how it was doing me good.
After I had taken five bottles the pain
and hutling was all gone, and 1 fell EO
well and happy.
Puring the time I was sick I couldn't
do anything?no sweeping, no house work
! <?! any kind?and sometimes my head
j would hurt from sun up to sun down.
{ N'ow all this has changed, and I have
j to thank Cardui for it.
Put my name in the papers, so thai
' everybody may know what Cardui has
done for mc, and that other.- may try this
mcdicinci which, J am sure, will help
them, too."
If you suffer .is Mrs Owens did, take
hci advice. Try Cardui. It may be just
what you need.
