MARLBoROUGH'S GARTER.

King Edward has approved the pro- posal that the garter be conferred upon the young duke of Marlborough who thus becomes a member of an order wherein his associates are limited to reigning sovereigns. to princes of royal blood, and to 24 English lords, tenn poral and spiritual. 1t was the late Lord Reaconsfeld, we think, who voic- ed his appreciation of the garter by saying that there was no damned nonsense of merit about it." but Bea- consheld's predilection for the pictur- esque employment of language not in- frequently, as in this instance. led him away from the truth Tn this country we cherish wholesome re- publican disregard, if not contempt, for titles and decorations, and orders, and all those things which smack of feudalism and suggest class and privi- lege and the divine right of somebody to be better than his neighbor. But in England and on the continent of Europe people, even of high intelli- gence, look at these matters different ". To them patent of nobility, theoretically, at least, implies an addi- t1onal responsibility to the community and the giving of an order of chivalry has done something to merit especial distinction. Like the Knights of the Golden Fleece, the Knights of the Garter from the day of the institution of the order by the third Edward, have includeds among their members the rulers of nations as we'll as many or the most distinguished servants of the English crown. At present the in- slgnla of the order is worn by the Engllsh prime minister, an ex-premier, man who was successively- governor general of Canada and viceroy of In dla, another former Indian yiceroy and the cOmmander-in-chief of the English army; all these men are per- sonages of distinguished achievement and not alone of distinguished birth. The duke of Marlborough has so far done nothing to suggest that he has 1n reserve any very extraordinary ability, but he is still young and the field of conservative politics is before him. He has repaired his family Fortunes through marriage with an American heiress. He has been moder- ately active in public life and he promises to develop whatever natural gifts he may have inherited from an intellectually well endowed father. At an unusually early age he has re- ceived what is perhaps the most coyet- ed order in Europe. It remains to be seen whether he will honor it or whether it will merely decorate him.

ant features Of the new regulations
are: The abolition of transit dues up
on goods brought through the southeI&
colonies, an equitable adjustment OF
colonial railway rates, a reduction OF
the excessive freight charges made by
the Netherlands railway, which is the
short cut to Delagoa Bay and the
sweeping aside of the dynamite mo.
nopoly which has existed for the inter
ests of purely selfish corporation and
will mean clear saving to the colonies

about by the changes in fiscal policy

less than $125 per ton of ore mined

1t is evident from these figures that

room. It was set aside for the u.c
Of the ladies Of the family, and wa
furnished with the utmost taste ana
elegance. 1t opened into consery-
with blooming flowers and sngins
birds; that opened, in its turn ou
to a soft green lawn, where, during
the summer, pretty fountains rippIcI
and grand old trees cast a grateful
shade. 1t was an elegant rathor
than handsome room. With la, T.
curtains, hangings of pale-rose silN,
few exquisite water-colors, and a
white Psyche with a basket of Grim
son flowers at her foot, made it a
charming retreat.
1t was here that Lady Ianthe re-
solved upon seeing Herman. She
sent to say that she awaited him,
and through the wide-opcu door he
caught view of her as she stooo
expecting him. She was leaning
against the white Psyche, her white
hands touching the crimson flowers
her elegant morning dress swoopIn&
the ground, her graceful figure
slightly bent, deep thought ana
grave anxiety on the Lcautiful pure
Eigh-bred face.
The mans whole heart went out
to her with deep, passionate love
that was almost pain.

will win her, If she is to be won"
She did not hear him at first, and
when, at the sound Of footsteps, she
looked up and saw him, her face
burned with a crimson flush He
went hastily forward to greet her,
and she could not help seeing the
passion in his face, the love In his
eyes, He held out his hand hul-
riedly to her; but she shrank from
the impassioned greeting.

SNOW STOPS BULLETS.

Experiments which have been made
near Christiana, in Norway, with the
Krag-Jorgensen rifle seem to show tina,
during a winter campaign snow can be
used most effectively by the soldiers
The experiments showed that bule,
from this rifle could not penetrate loose
snow more than yard and a half. The
same result was obtained no matter
from what distance the shot was fred.
Military experts consequently point out
that snow offers more resistance TO the
penetration Of such a bullet than any
kind OF wood and almost as much as
earth and that therefore II might be
advisable whenever II is possible to use
snow as a material for intrenchments
and other works during a campaign.
