English Secret Service Nopcx

The term secret service money" is
usually applied to fund placed at the
disposal of ministers to be expended
at their discretion in promoting or pro-
tecting the interests of this country.
These moneys consist of sum of e35,-
900 annually included in the estimates,
In respect Of which ministers are only
required To make a declaration that
the moneys spent have been expended
lin accordance with the intentions OF
parliament"
AS ministers are required to give no
account OF their stewardship, it is OBJ
vlous we have no means of knowing
now these moneys are expended. The
reader however, who carries his mind
back to episodes within his knowledge.

Four COurtship sundays.

The four Sundays Of November are
observed as fete days in Holland. They
are known by the curious names Re
view, Decision, Purchase and Posses
sion and all refer to matrimonial az
fairs, November in Holland being the
month par excellence devoted to court
ship and marriage, probably because
the agricultural occupations OF the
year are over and possibly because the
lords OF creation from quite remote
antiquity have recognized the pleas
antness Of having wives to cook and
cater for them during the long winter.
On Review Sunday everybody goes
to church, and after service there is a
church parade in every village, when
the youths and maidens gaze upon each
other but forbear to speak.
On Decision Sunday each bachelor
who is seeking wife approaches the
maiden of his choice with ceremoni-
Gus bow and from her manner of re-
spending judges whether his advances
are acceptable. Purchase Sunday the
consent of the parents is sought If the
suit has prospered during the week.
Not until Possession Sunday, howev-
er, do the twain appear before the
world as actual or prospective brides
and grooms.-Denver News.

Quicksands Hidden unacr Ciny.
