use his own wOrtls-l0w to turn
everything into gold, and we have no
proof of his insincerity, but it strikes
me that all the notice he has received
lately has turned his head. One thing
is quite clear, and cannot he too
strongly insisted upon, namely, that
lie will lose the sympathy Of all those
to whom religion without reverence
is simply revolving, II he allows the
blasphemy that appeared in the
Var Cry just before the marriage
OF his son, to be repeated. II was
repeated, we regret to say, at the
marriage itself, by the appearance of
a man who, when the newly-married
pair were seen approaching the Clap
ton Barracks, walked into the hall
carrying banner on which was
inscribed the well-khown words, "Be-
hold the bridegroom cometh. The
T"General" himself improved the oc-
casion by rcmarking that the edible
had more brag in it than any book
he knew" eelH,A
Scene, West London e-station
Enter a constable, hauling in n
drunken auctioneer, Mr.. Inspector,
to prisoner: 'sUnless you can find
bail, yOu will be locked up in cell
until tomorrow morning" Auc-
tioneer: "All right, old chap, send
bobby to my friends the green
grocer and butcher in--ROad, and
they IL soon get me out of this" A
constable was sent to the addresses
given, and shortly returned with the
bail, but the prisoners friends be-
haved in such an extraordinary
manner that Mr.. Inspector not only
refused them as security, but bundled
all three into the cells. The fact is,
the butcher and greengrocer were rs
drunk as the auctiOneer. The next
morning they were presented before
the magistrate and fined f2 each.
The scene is a table dhote at
French Watering place. Two strangers
enter into conversation. One Of
them is a young man on the French
press, and he speaks with much
cOmplaisance Of his literary success.
"And pray, what may your special
line Der" enquiries his neighbour,
with some interest. "MOn Dicu!
Monsieur, all around, little of
everything-reviews, gossip para
graphs. and so forth" HAL" said
the other ominously, II am only
employed OH headed raticles !" He
spoke the truth. He was the Ex-
ecutiOner. Gs
A work with the title of "The
Pedigree of the Devil is now in the
press, and will shortly be published
by Messrs. Trubner and Co. The
object of the author is an, investiga-
ton of the various sources from
which the modern idea of the arch
enemy of mankind has been built up,
and an analysis of the qualifications
of his genealOgy. The evolution Of
evil involved in this examination is
full of strange interest, often leading
TO unexpected results. The work is
by Mr.. Frederic 4. Hall, +. II. A.
. s., and will he illustrated by series
of elaborate drawings by the author
and printed by the Autotype Com
pany in their best manner.
AT u cOnversaziOne ut the Palace
of Barchester, Mrs. Proudie was
saying that the clergy should be
exact and precise In all things us pat
terms to their AOcks. " My dear
madam" replied the dean, E" they
cannot well be otherwise, for when
man enters the Church he neces-
sarily becomes a curate (occurdte),
and, when promoted, his great ambi-
ton is generally to keep curate
(accurate).
The Russian War Minister has
determined to employ the telephone
i'm the Western fOrtresses in n manner
which has naturally attracted no
little attention in Austria and Ger
many. Not only is this instrument
to I've used In connecting all parts of
u given fortress together and bring
ing each gun and gunner within
speaking distance of the Comman-
dant, but all the fortresses on the
Polish Pra,ssian and Austrian borders
are to I've brought into telephone
communication with one another.
The artillerymen and officers are all
to go through special course of
telephone drill.
