oueen victoria,s Court Jester,

Who knew that Queen Victoria had q
court jester? Jocularity, official or other
wise, has been out of fashion at the Court Of
ST. James for many years, and the an
nouncement of the death of William Wal
lett, Court Jester, has very strange sound.
The Office must have been sinecure, and is
hardly likely to be filed again under the
scrutiny of the watchful Radicals in Parlia-
ment What change came over
the Office In the lapse of only
three centuries, for down to the time of
Queen Elizabeth in England the court
Jester continued to be a parsonage of some
Importance. In fact, fools were a part of
the kindly retinue until George L came
over to England. In France the official
mirthmaksr to royalty lasted longer, and
we find rs late as Louis XVIII. 8 time
certain Coulon filling the double Office of
court jester and physician, and his jokes
must have been better than his medicines,
for the fame of them has survived him.
The court fool in earlier times was mu-
nifcently rewarded, witness the endowment
of Berdic, William the Conqueror's fool,
with three towns and much land in .Glou-
eestershire. One famous fool stands immor-
talized in monstrous statue of wood in
front of the celebrated tun in Heidelberg,
and in Rome the efigy of Pasquino still e1-
lists to remind us Of the origin of the pas
quinade. w. G. KAUFMANN.

Work for the British Army,

The wild tribes of the northeastern
frontier of India continue to furnish work
for the British army. Last week the cables
announced that the Lushais had attacked
the British camps no less than three times
within four days, repeated repulses seeming
to have no effect on their fighting ardor.
The Lushais, or Kukis, as they are some
times called, belong to q numerous family
of nomadic tribes inhabiting the Lushai
hills, a range that extends into the heart of
the unexplored mountains of Upper Bur-
nah. 1t will be observed that in the bat
ties mentioned the natives were in each
case the attacking party. It would be sup
posed that they would hesitate to take the
Initiative against g force much superior
to their own, both in numbers and equip
ment, but, If the opinions of travellers go
for anything, the Lushais have really no
alternative, as they are being pressed for
ward by still stronger people, the Soktis,
from the interior of Burmah.
There is good reason to believe this is
true, as the Lushais have been raiding the
British lines since the earliest occupation of
the territory. These forays are also thought to
be instigated by desire to obtain human
heads, which they use in their peculiar re-
igious ceremonies as propitiatory sacrifices
to the gods of the mountain. In the war
fare that has continued for more than CEN
tury the native tribes have had, rule,
the best of it, although the British forces
have been victorious in the recent engage
ments,

A Useful Cash Register.

The number of storekeepers and others
who have had sad experience of the fallibil.
ity of patent cash registers is legion, and
such will welcome the advent of new cash
register that promises to pay for itself very
quickly. One of its advantages is its SIM
plieity, which materially lessons the liabil-
ity to get out of order with which SO many
devices of the kind seem to be afflicted.
The new register will keep any number Of
accounts, either at the point of sale or at a
distance. For instance the sales made in
the store can be recorded in the proprietor's
house, whether it be above the store or at q
distance. The proprietor can thus know
what the days receipts are up to any given
moment without coming near the store.
The cash drawer is opened automatically
by the action of the leve- which registers
the sale. The drawer can be opened and
change made without registering, but every
time it Is opened record is made of the
fact. In other words, if the drawer is
opened simply to make change, no record is
made of a sale, but a record is made of the
fact that the drawer has been opened for the
purpose of making change. A strong point
of the invention Is that there is no known
way of "beating" 1t. If anv attempt ID
made to tamper with it the bell rings. Fur
thermore, the bell rings whenever anything
gets out of order, and continues to do so
until the fault has been attended to. No
money can be taken from the drawer with
out detection. The device is worked cleo
trically and the battery which supplies the
current will last 16 months without re-
charging, which can be done at slight ex-
pense.

The Telephone in Genial Hawaii.

A celebrated engineer who some time ago
spoke At an important meeting of electri-
clans in New YORK told his audience that
the inhabitants of Hawaii, from which he
had Just returned, were the best natured
people on the face of the earth. He stated,
moreover, that the climate was sultry and
that the principle on which business was
conducted was never to walk if you could
ride, and never to ride if you could sit still.
Under such conditions it was only natural
that the Hawaiians should look upon the
telephone az the greatest invention of the
age, and it came instantly into universal
use. The ladies especially were in high
glee at being able to do their minor shop
ping while sitting at home, and to such an
extent did they forego their wanted e1sr-
else that an increase in the average weight
of the female section of the community was
distinctly apparent. This was told not as
joke, but in sober earnest, and letter
which goes far to confirm the account has
been received from the superintendent Of
the Honolulu Exchange, who says: "Hon-
olulu has the most wonderful telephone
system in the world. You can get any num-
Der you want as soon as you ask for 1t, and
can hear perfectly great distance. The
people of Hawaii use the telephone much
more than do the people in any part of the
United States that was ever in. If man
wants to know what time it is, instead OF
getting out of his seat to look at the clock
he rings up the operator and finds out"

She has done more to popularize the study
of Egyptian hieroglyphics and antiquities

mosaic of facts.
The Saturday Revieo of London once had
the temerity to poke fun at what it called
her "woman's seamanship" in "Debenham's
Vow," and an Admiral of the royal navy
came to her rescue with an Endorsement of
all her nautical statements. She was one of
your systematic workers; dividing the day
into set periods for different work, walking
a measured half mile in the garden of her
home near Bristol before breakfast and an
other half mile after, and SO on. Her plan
in novel writing was amusingly precise.
