OSE wight named John, whose other
name means little roll OF rusk, re-
lates how he was born in a humble
house in Brunswick Square and was
taken by his father to see Warwick
Castle, and being a lad OF uncommon
thought he reflected that it was better

John goes on to say. as their males
ties may not be aware that 1t would
not have done the humble house in
Brunswick Square any good to have
had Warwick Castle pulled down. We
admit that our forbears were slightly
of different mind SO far as this land
was concerned. But they were minded
also that it is none OF our affairs to
tear down castles that are in other
lands, the same being entrusted by
heaven in its good time to the peoples

The Sharpest Newsboy on Record.
There are good many ways OF
earning an honest living By the sweat
OF somebody else's brow. The other
evening the usual crowd OF genteel and
sefni-genteel sporting people occupied
the sidewalk in front Of the White
Elephant pool-room, while the rest Of
the public walked around by way OF
the narrow curb or the street.
'Y-o-owl Wea--o--owl'
A succession OF sharp yeIps and pro-
longed howls broke on the tympanum,
and q six-year.old newsboy came
bounding from car platform, his pa
pers flying right and left in the mud.

And how the sympathetic crowd
gathered round him and swore at the
railway company, and went down into

The English people did not take
kindly to expositions. They could not
see in advance direct returns. Manu-
facturers feared disastrous effect OF
comparison between their products and
those of other firms and other coun-
tries. Shopkeepers feared that buying
would cease in their houses because
people would run after novelties in the
exhibitions. This fear was accentuat-
ed by apparent direct losses in manage
ment Of great show undertakings.
Although the exhibition of 1851 gave
a net profit of more than million dol
lars preceding and subsequent ones
showed deficits in the formal balance
sheets. All French expositions have
not been direct financial successes.
The losses incurred by the British rep
resentation at the Paris exposition Of
1855 discouraged the British govern
ment from generous appropriations for
subsequent ones.
