Friends here of Charles e. Macrum. United
States Consul at Pretoria, say that he Sc
cured leave Of absence from his post in
order that he might bring to this country
information that he is unwilling to trust
to the cables.
Recent letters furnish aclew to his mys-
terious mission. They prove that he was

Consul Macrum,s friends here say that
after he took charge Of the British inter-

Government were more friendly than ever.
and that he was fully prepared to stay at
his post until the necessity arose for him
to bring home important state secrets.
These are believed to be from President
Kruger, who has asked Macrum to return
to the United States with an appeal to this
country, IL not in alliance with Great Bri-
tain, to render as great an aid to the
Transvaal Republic as France did to the
Americans, for then Europe would imme-

the fact that with increasing expenses she
has constantly decreasing revenues. A spe-

upon by the city officials as the only means
whereby relief can be obtained.
Chicago received s4.420 900 for corporate
purposes from the tax levy-not enough
to maintain the city and fire department.
and the city had to depend upon saloon Ii
censes and other special sources of income
for its maintenance. II has been supposed
that instead of 81 500 zoe the city would OBJ
tain $4,000, ,00o or $1,000. .6G0 at least from

had Elton Penn,a n.hip.
From the London News.l


In the current number of 'sThe Eton College
Chronicle a sprightiy article il devoted to the
question Of Handwriting" 1t appears that
Eton boys are notorious for their bad and illeg-
ible calligraphy. and generally remain so for the
rest Of their lives. The writer thinks this may
be attributed to the art being neglected when
they first join the school, but also naiveiy sug-
gests that another cause may be the setting Of
inpositions A third cause Is suggested in the
frequency Of the trials" and in examination
the boy tries to cover - much ground as possible
with his pen, not caring much as to whether
it can be read or not. Indeed, possibly boy
may think it very useful to confuse the examiner
as to whether he has written an '.a'' or an 20,
and an undotted 'i'' sometimes serves a useful
purpose in looking like a ''u' At any rate, the
examinee might get the benefit of the doubt.
A remedy it is suggested that Eton should
again appoint writing master, or else the tutor,
the Kindly mother Of Us ALL" should undertake
the duty Of teaching how to hold the pen. Hand
writing has always been the Cinderella Of the
arts When Wolfe said he would rather have
written that poem than take Quebec he did
not refer TO the pothook and hanger part of the
business After all. bad handwriting is generally
delight to look at so long as ono is not asked
to decipher II.

Perpetual Copyright.

Some discussion has been created in lit
erary circles by a movement to secure per-
petual copyright. The Literary World
has secured from authors and publishers a
great many opinions on this subject, and
the consensus Of opinion seems to be
against the making of the copyright per-
petual, though 1t seems to be the general
feeling that some extension of the present
Limitation would be good thing.
Nothing can be clearer than that the
