According to the newest dictionary, a
globe trotter is zone who roams over the
world for pleasure or recreation" The fact
that such II definition is already out of date
shows how quickly ideas march in this age,
In future a globe trotter must be defined in
its literal sense of "one who trots' on a
globe" Emilio Schisso has the honor OF
setting the dictionary makers right on this
point Of etymology. He is a real globe
trotter. Recently he trotted on globe
from Manchester to London-that is to
say, he mouIsed huge ball and propelled
1t by his feet from the Lancashire city &c
the metropolis. On Saturday he com,
menced the return journey, and while
globe trotting along the Strand, attired in
blazer" of flaring red and yellow stripes
a flag in one hand and whip in the other
followed by an astonished crowd of about
800 persons, n policeman decided that the
show" was a nuisance, and compelled
Emilio tosCot to Bow street police court

Incomes of French Writers.

Alexandra Dumas, the elder, received i'm
mense sums for his theatrical pieces and
novels, and his works still assure n good
income to his son. 1t was the first pro-
duction of Henri III' which changed the
fortunes of that writer On the day before
the production he was a subordinate official
in the service of the Duke of Orleans and
content with his annual salary of $40. On
the following morning, however, he was the
lion of the time. He sold his manuscript
for 81 200. Dumas, the elder, would have
died Il millionaire many times over had it
not been for his tendency to waste money
The younger Dumas has earned much les.
money than his father, although he had tho
advantage of making his debut with I
famous name. The first 100 productions o
1.-THE Lady With the Camellias" brought
him "only" $1,000. But from that time OF
his income increased rapidly. For instance
he received Sl2, 600 for the right of translat
ing "Francillon" before it was presented tC
the theater goers single time Victor
Hugo left 81 900, 600, not including the VALUE
of his works. The works produce an an
nual income of $4,000 for his heirs.
Nictorien Sardou owns princely palace

The NEW WcERoY oE INDIA.
He Has Distinguished Himself In the Mil
itary and Diplomatic Service.

The appointment of Sir Henry Wylie
Norman to be viceroy of India seems to
have taken the political world Of England
by surprise. 1t was unexpected and in
many respects at variance with .precedents
and the unwritten laws that have generally
prevailed, The custom has been to appoint
only civilians to the place. India is OF
course largely held by military domination,
but it has not been deemed polite to empha-
size that fact by making IA soldier vicerOy.
Service under the government in India has
also generally been considered a grave dis
qualification, the theory being that the
viceroy should not be man of local or pro-
vincial views, but one who will govern in
the interest of the whole empire and not
alone of India itself.
Both these theories have been violated by
Sir Henry's appointment. He is a soldier,
and the greater part of his military service
has been rendered in India, besides which
he was for many years a government off
cial there. Sir Henry's experience Of five
years as governor of Jamaica and nearly
five years as governor of Queensland, sup
plemented by his intimate knowledge of
Indian affairs, ought certainly to bs con
