The law also, ii seems. provides that the

the most awkward feature of the conflict
in this regard seems to be the provision
under the civic rules for dropping an Off

BANGLES FOR OFFICERS.
AmuIets. LOckets and Bracelets For
British Soldiers Going to Africa.


Everybody knows that the gallant
British officer is the best loved crea-
ture in the philosophy of west end Lon
don life.
The ts.lies OF the west end have
been demonstrating their devotion to
the brave officers who are going or
have already gone To fight the Beers.
and their devotion has taken the form

Bond street, Regent street and Pic
cadilly have been overrun during the
past few weeks with hanson cabs
packed with boxes and bags of every
size, in the midst of which blue blood
ed officers have looked more military
than ever. Nearly every officer under
40 years of age was accompanied by 4
beautiful woman, and before they had
finished their round of war shopping
they nearly all called at the most eX-
pensive jewelers. in the thoroughfares
named. Those lucky tradesmen have

officers of her majesty's forces have
bought hundreds of ladies diamond

Several west end jewelers. admitted
to IL London Daily Mail representative
that the war had brought them scores

keepsakes has been by no means n
one sided tenderness. Gold match
boxes with more than one persons

little cOuplets of poetry hidden inside,
strong campaign watches with photo

trail has entered into an arrangement
with the Railway Educational associa-
ton of New York, whereby the associa-
ton is to furnish Immediately, free of

spondence lessons to all the engineers
in the company's employ on the prob
lens of locomotive engineering. and to
the irGmen n course on the best meth
od; 20 be used in locomotive firing,
thus giving the men in the motive pow
er department an opportunity to add
to their practical knowledge of the sub
ject a thorough knowledge of the the
oretical and technical in locomotive
practice. MIR. Baker of the association
has already demonstrated the ability of
his system to save fuel. and it is be-
lieved the adoption of such a system
will result in the saving of many thou
sands of dollars in the railroads fuel
account. besides tending to diminish to
a great extent the Inconvenience some
times experienced by travellers on all
railroads from cinders and smoke.
