 That Italy's new king is not so i'm
 bued with militarism as his father is
 shown by the fact that while in com mand of the military district of Naples he did all that was in his power to re- lieve the service of it's odium, and to render the term with the colors not only useful from a military point uf view, but likewise to convert it into a course of technical training and healthy recreation. Realizing that most Of the men under his command were recruited from agricultural districts and were destined on completion Of thelr service to return to agri- cultural pursuits, he induced all of the officers of the army corps under his or ders to go through a thorough course of agricultural training, and than had all the soldiers from the various regiments instructed in the use of improved agri- cultural implements and in up-to-date agricultural methods generally. An other practice which he initiated was a se1f of excursions for the various reg iments to visit places of interest-such as, for instance, the Vesuvius, Pom
 
 various villages and towns visited by these military eXcursionists do every thing that they can do to entertain the troops. who are thus enabled to ac- quire, free of expense. knowledge of the various spots of interest in the province while their excursions serve to promote patriotism in the rural districts. If I recall these things it is for the purpose of showing that the new king, in spite Of his diminutive size. is a man of no little initiative and breadth of view, and that he is likely to make his mark in history.
 There is a certain unwritten rule in Ireland that the all-important post of inspector general and commander of the Royal Irish Constabulary, who virtual ly has in his hands the control of the whole police system of the Emerald isle should be held in rotation by a Cathol- ic and a Protestant. Sir Andrew Read. who has just retired, is therefore sue ceeded by Protestant in the person of Col. Chamberlain, a particular fayorite of Lord Roberts, under whom he has seen much service. In appearance he Is fragile and delicate, below rather than above the middle height, scrupu- lously careful of his attire when in civ ilian dress, and neatness personified in all his ways and methods. His son was one of the first officers to win the Victo- ria cross in South Africa and earned It Tn that gallant attempt to save the guns at Tugela river, in which the only son of Lord Roberts was killed.

 There seems to be literally no end to the frauds perpei rated by the wonder fully clever Mrs. Kingscote, wife of Col. Howard Kingscote, and daughter of Sir Henry Drummond Wolff. the British ambassador at Madrid. Peers and parsons have shown in a long se- ries of law suits that after extracting enormous sums from them by means of false representations, she, with the most cynical impudence, reviled them as idiots when they sought to recover their property.
 Now there has appeared another creditor upon the scene in the person of the widow of Gen. Earle, who was in- duced by Mrs. Kingscote to entrust her with the sum of $SO,OOO for the purpose of being invested in some stock concern which she. Mrs. Kingscote, was inter- ested in. According to the evidence which has just been given in the court of the master of the rolls. Mrs. Kings cote did not dream of investing the money, as arranged, but cooily used it for the living expenses of her husband and herself As in all the other cases she manifested the utmost resentment when called to account, and instead of lowing her head in the face of the tes- timony against her, co-operated with her husband in his efforts to repudiate his own liability in The mater, the in ference naturally being that some of the misappropriated money had re- mained in his keeping. At any rate, this is the view which the court seems to have taken, since it made Col. Kings cote jointly responsible with his wife for the entire amount.
 The extraordinary feature of the whole affair is the immunity from crm- inal prosecution which Mrs. Kingsr.a seems to enjoy, and which can only be ascrbed to the position of her father and to the valuable services which he has rendered to the state. Had any other person rendered themselves gull ty of one tithe of the frauds perpetrat- ed by Mrs. Kingscote, they would long ago have been sentenced to well de- served spells of penal servitude. Mrs. Kingscote is well known in literature on both sides of the Atlantic, under the pen name of Lucas Cleeve." In the English publication entitled Who's Who" she describes her own career as
