we also read that they learnt new
dance called the 1.-TWO Step" Cha! ha!
We know that dance), in fact, they seem
to have had a real good time with the
ladies driving about in coaches and
things. So far so good, but we Brtons
weep when we learn that all the team
We're queer crossing Ontario and feel
for their sufferings on that occasion.
Did the charming ladies of Philadel-
phia feel for them too, | wonder?
Bradford paper announces that
America Is giving the largest orders to
our cloth factories Just now, the Brad
ford firms alone having E75, 600 worth of
cloth for export, but alas! we also learn
that the British market is being flooded
with cheap German cloths printed on
both sides and sold at less than 10 cents
yard. Made in Germany-ughl The
name of Germany reminds me that the
great, little, very important emperor is
ina state of considerable wrath, and for
what reason forsooth. As all the world
knows William composed a Song to
Aegir' and some brutal critics have run
1t down. The unfortunately truthful
criticisers are in bad tune, but they are
quite right. The song was sung in
London by Mr., Haydn Coffin (at a con-
cert introducing American composers,
by the way and the song reminds one
of those touching lines i've yet another
| efusion which runs in one part Their
music (Germans) ah! the music of the
future 1t will be: they like it loud and
like ii long and minus melody" Well,
Billy's song Is loud and it certainly
does not contain much melody. 1t is
one of those songs that require a full
sized church organ and a trombone to
give fair rendering-but there | dom

wroth because Some vulgar English

him, the cartoon that most annoyed

marck as working the strings from the

| these has been the collection of paint
ings-prncipally of birds-by a Japa-
nese artist. And now we have a collec-

The pictures are no monstrosities either,

worker and earns good money.
Mr.. Labouchere, NJ. p, has been fight
ing another libel case brought against
him by the Rev, Robert Macmillon.
Labby wrote a red-hot article on the
reverend gentleman's method of collect
ing money and of his ways of spending
same, and said lots of unkind things
about the gentleman, one of which ac-
cused him of too freely partaking of the

The Jury found for Macmillon and
awarded him one farthing damages,
and as the judge refused to allow costs

mind paying up for this sort of thing
at all--it is all business to him and he
has heaps Of money.
